Chapter 318: Li Xiaoyi was unhappy in her heart
Although this year, the emperor asked people to hold a ceremony to choose concubines, announcing that the emperor of the world wanted to choose concubines, but until the end, the emperor only selected about eight people, and there were no three thousand beauties in the harem like the emperors of previous dynasties.
Even when the first emperor was young, there were no less than 100 harem concubines, and all positions can be said to have no vacant positions at all.
It has only been less than two months since entering the palace, and there are only six of the original eight people left, Wang Jieyu committed suicide by hitting the pillar, Liu Xuanzhi was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor a few days ago, and now there are two Jieyu Niangniang in the palace, but there are only eight people, which can be said to be pitiful.
This banquet directly divided the concubines into two rows, which happened to be on opposite sides, Wang Jieyu and Zhang Guiren were next to each other, Lan Meiren and Ren Chang were there.
And Zhang Jieyu side by side is the Yue Guifei, Bai Xiaoyi and the last Li Xiaoyi.
Li Shuya sat at the back of this row, looking at Bai Xiaoyi and Shangguan Ruoli beside her smiling and talking, and a burst of coldness crossed her eyes.
This time, the emperor promoted the harem, originally thought that it was normal for her to be promoted to a class, and the palace would definitely not be too high, after all, the two Jieyu Niangniang have been in the palace for three years, but they are still Jieyu.
But she never expected that the emperor would promote Shangguan Ruoli by three levels and Bai Tian by two levels!
Only she and the rest of the concubines have only been promoted by one class, how can she accept the arrogant her!
What made her even more unbearable was that the emperor actually pampered Shangguan Ruoli, and stayed in Mingyue Pavilion for three days! Three days!
I thought that the emperor was really as cold as the rumors said, not good for harem women, and really as she thought, she didn't like those vulgar women.
But whether the emperor embraced Bai Xiaoyi or directly favored Shangguan Ruoli, this piece directly overturned all Li Shuya's previous self-confidence, and also refuted the words handed over to her by her father and grandfather.
Her hands couldn't help but tremble, Li Shuya hated this feeling very much, looking at Bai Xiaoyi, who was talking and laughing beside her, and Shangguan Ruoli, who was smiling, she couldn't help but clench her palms.
There was a burst of fierceness in her eyes, what she Li Shuya wanted, it was never possible to get it, but she didn't want to lower her status and fight with them!
Since this still can't get the emperor's attention, then she has to change the measures, she can't wait any longer!
Originally, there was only one level difference between her and Shangguan Ruoli's position, but now there is a difference of two levels, if she waits like this, the distance between her and Shangguan Ruoli may be getting bigger and bigger, how can she allow it?
From childhood to adulthood, Shangguan Ruoli has been the opponent of her, whether it is attending the banquet in Beijing or in the talent competition, Shangguan Ruoli is on par with her strength.
Even if Shangguan Ruoli's grandfather is Shangshu Ling, the head of the dignified Shangshu Province, what if one person is above ten thousand people?
Compared with her grandfather and father's contribution to Fengling Country and their dedication to the imperial court, what is lower than Shangguan Ruoli's grandfather?
She can't help but think so, even the current emperor must think so, otherwise how could the emperor just listen to her father-in-law read her name in the concubine selection competition, and directly ordered to leave a sign before saying her age!
Of course, she knew that the emperor didn't take a fancy to her first, but the Li family behind her!
And it is precisely this that makes her happy, because this means that the emperor pays attention to the mother's family behind the concubine!
