"Concubine?!" Sheng Jinlan screamed. Her face went from ecstatic to astonished and finally to iron. Originally, she couldn't speak during the proclamation, but Sheng Jinlan was shocked by the news.

And Roy's face on the side was not much better. However, he was forced to be present before he managed to stop the look on his face. But she was still furious.

The queen sat at the top, her face was very cold: "You two are talented on weekdays. Today, I will make you the concubines of the four princes, but it is just right. My emperor has been in poor health since he was a child, and now he is older. Politically, it is also busy. Accept the two of you, just so you can relieve my emperor's boredom. ”

As soon as the queen's words came out. Even if Luo Yi was forbearant in his heart, his face would inevitably bring out a little sourness. This casual attitude seems to be as if Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi are just two boring pets.

Regardless of the looks of the people below, the queen still said to herself: "The third daughter of the Yan family, Yan Huan, is named the side concubine of the fourth prince." ”

The position of the side concubine is not as good as the main concubine. The concubine needs to be greeted by the Qin Heavenly Eunuch Najib, and a series of bigwigs in the palace, such as the queen, the emperor, and the queen mother, are selected in many ways. And the side concubines are generally selected by the prince's biological mother and the queen in private.

After all, the side concubine can't overshadow the main concubine.

The biological mother of the fourth prince is the queen. Therefore, the queen did not have to consult with anyone. It's over the girl who is close to her own family.

Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi didn't expect that the position of concubine would be taken by such a little-known young lady. They originally thought that either the other party would become a side concubine, or they would become a side concubine. Treat the other party as the biggest adversary. But who would have thought. This is the case.

Jin Ran was also shocked in his heart. She knew that Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi would inevitably be canonized today, but she couldn't stop this in advance, and she was ready to fight to the death with the person who became the side concubine.

After all, the rank of the side concubine is not low. Doing something was enough to give her a headache.

But Jin Ran didn't expect that this queen would not seal either, but sealed her own family!

After all, Sheng Jinlan is also the grandson of a first-class master. If it is a serious Najib greeting, it can also seal the position of a side concubine. Even if it's not a side concubine, the grade can't be lower. However, the queen was so shrewd that she made both of them concubines.

A concubine, even if it is a little palace maid, climbs into the bed of the fourth prince and has another male and half female, most of them will be carried up as a concubine. This move really put the faces of Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi on the ground.

Especially Luo Yi and Sheng Jinlan, who had already had a skin-to-skin relationship with the four princes, and their innocence was ruined early. Originally, they all thought that they were nine out of ten stable for the position of the side concubine. Unexpectedly, it was subjected to such a drastic change.

Jin Ran sighed in her heart, and she whispered to Princess Ming'an: "Sure enough, the queen is very good." At this moment, those who want to climb into the bed of the four princes also have to weigh it. "After all, with such a rich background as Sheng Jinlan, she only got the position of a concubine. The queen is not afraid of the power of the Sheng family at all, although the Sheng family's big house will not stand up for this Sheng Jinlan. But Old Man Sheng's face was also nakedly beaten.

Princess Ming'an also responded in a low voice: "Isn't it?" Let me tell you, the queen loves her son the most. That Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi seduced the Four Emperor Brothers like this, and that was really breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. ”

Jin Ran was amused by Princess Ming'an's words, and she was also a little relieved at this time, after all, a concubine's enemy is far easier to deal with than a side concubine. A few words of gossip, less pampered or more pampered for a few days, are enough to make a small concubine disappear into the prince's mansion.

At that time, as long as there is a little means, there will be no worries about Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi not dying.

This farce ended with Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi both defeated.

At the end of the banquet, Jin Ran was about to go back. But Hu Xiana ran in front of Jin Ran at the right time, she pursed her lips slightly, and stubbornly raised: "You are Fang Tianji's fiancée, right?" I'm telling you, I don't agree with you. ”

Sheng Jinran burst out laughing, and the corners of her eyes were sarcastic: "Princess Hu Xiana." I have to tell you, this is not Western Xia. Besides, our family Heavenly Halberd doesn't even know you, where do you need to agree? What is the relationship between you and me? What can you bring to me if you agree with me? In the same way, if you don't agree with me, what can I lose? ”

Hu Xiana had just seen Jin Ran's sharp teeth, and this Jin Ran didn't give her face at this time, although Hu Xiana was dissatisfied in her heart, but under the eyes of the ladies and Princess Ming'an, she didn't dare to say a word, and ran away.

Although Hu Xiana is gone, this envoy is still there, he is full of beard, although his face is terrifying, but the words he said are like a spring breeze, he is not angry because of Jin Ran's unkindness, but with a little apology: "Just sorry, Lord Jinrui." Hu Xiana, she is too ignorant. I hope you can understand her. ”

Others greeted each other with smiles, and Jin Ran was embarrassed to say anything ugly.

She softened her face and bowed slightly: "Where is this, Lord Envoy, Princess Hu Xiana was lost for a while, and I also understand it in my heart." ”

Although these words were forgiving, they also ridiculed Hu Xiana, and they refused to suffer at all.

Before the envoy could speak, the guard standing behind him spoke, and this guard was the one Jin Ran had just looked at at at the banquet.

"I have long heard that the county lord of Jinrui is extremely intelligent. operates many fat powder shops, southern goods stores, etc., all of which are making money every day. I've heard of it even in Western Xia. ”

As soon as Jin Ran raised her eyebrows, she looked at the envoy, but the envoy did not show any expression to the interjection of the guards around her, but was slightly respectful, and looked like he was the first.

"It seems that Your Excellency has investigated me very clearly." Jin Ran said lukewarmly. Her expression was indifferent: "I don't know where I'm famous in Western Xia." ”

"Haha! The county lord didn't know anything. Your caravan is very famous for us in Western Xia! We are in the grasslands of Western Xia, and every piece of paper and salt is brought by your caravan. ”

Jin Ran didn't know that her caravans had all gone to Xixia, and she smiled: "Then it's useless for you to tell me." After all, this is all the ability of my subordinates. I'm just a proprietor who pays for it. ”

Although she wondered the identity of the guard in her heart, the envoy did not speak, and she did not speak rashly. I can only pretend to be confused.

The guard laughed when he heard her: "You are humble! He turned to the point of view: "Miss, you better make some preparations in advance." In a few days, you may be able to see Princess Hushana every day. ”

"What? Jin Ran was stunned by what the guard said. She nodded nonchalantly, intending to go back to her home to inquire carefully. After all, she didn't want to see Hu Shana every day. If she had seen this girl every day, she would have been annoyed to death. ”

Jin Ran didn't have the heart to continue to deal with it, she smiled slightly, continued to say a few words to the envoy and went home in the car.

Jin Ran has also not seen his family for a while. She had always lived in the county lord's mansion. So I miss Zhang and others very much.

"I heard that Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi were named the concubines of the four princes?" As soon as Jin Ran arrived home, Zhang couldn't wait to ask.

Jin Ran came back a little late today, and when she arrived at her mansion, the news spread all over the world.

She looked at her mother with tears and laughter, and sighed, "Mother, you are very well informed." ”

"I must keep an eye on Sheng Jinlan's affairs from time to time." Zhang snorted coldly, "This girl pushed you into the lake that day, and today there is finally retribution." ”

"Ran'er, don't you know, these four princes' mansions, the situation is very complicated." Zhang was so excited that he told Jinran: "These four princes and concubines are the daughters of Confucianism. Although the family is a noble one. But except for the eldest brother of the four princesses who is a third-grade official in the Ministry of Rites, none of the four princesses' families went out to be officials. ”

Jin Ran only understood a little when he heard this: "Is the queen dissatisfied with the four princesses?" She often heard people say that the four princesses are famous, virtuous, and a rare good woman.

Hearing this, Zhang Shi said with some disdain: "In the eyes of which queen, who can be satisfied with her?" Even her niece was singled out with a lot of thorns. However, even if the young lady of her maiden family is a rare lady, the emperor is unwilling to let the queen's maiden family become big. ”

Jin Ran nodded thoughtfully, she didn't expect this.

Today she paid more attention to another point: "Mother, have you heard any rumors in the palace?" I heard ...... today," Jin Ran repeated to his mother what the guards had said at the banquet.

After speaking, she also said strangely: "I'm also very strange, who is that guard?" He didn't say anything respectful about Hushana. And the envoys who came with him also held him in great respect. ”

After listening to Jin Ran's words, Zhang was thoughtful, she thought about it carefully, and said, "I still want to tell you about this." There is no definite letter down on this matter. But the people of Western Xia told you, maybe this matter may have been settled. ”

Jin Ran was curious by what she said, and couldn't help urging her mother: "Mother, what is it?" Say it! ”

Zhang smiled mysteriously: "This matter is also related to the five princes." "The fifth prince is also fifteen years old this year. According to the rules of the Chinese Dynasty, as soon as the age of fifteen arrives, the princes can enter the court and officially put forward their own suggestions in the court.

Zhang said: "This matter is related to the first article proposed by the five princes. The five princes proposed to build a academy. ”

Jin Ran disagreed: "Academy? The academy is not universal, and there is nothing unusual. ”

Zhang replied: "It's not an ordinary academy, but a women's academy. ”
