"Auntie, you see the emperor's cousin, he actually set up a folk woman without any prominent background as a concubine, I am his cousin, the pearl of Lan Xiang, the niece of the Queen Mother, but I am still a concubine." Lan Wan said to the Queen Mother with indignation.

"Wan'er, at this time, you have to hold your breath, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, there is still a long way to go, don't just look at the gains and losses in front of you." The Queen Mother taught.

"What my aunt taught, but Wan'er is still a little worried, the emperor's cousin seems to have a deep affection for Zhu Yuxuan's one, I ......" Lan Wan was a little uneasy and hesitant.

The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "What about being affectionate, an emperor must take into account the overall situation and balance the forces in the court, and some things must be given up when it is time to give up." ”

"Wan'er, you don't have to worry, as long as there is a mourning family, you will sit on the throne of the queen sooner or later." The Queen Mother said with a firm gaze.

When Lan Wan heard this, she was very happy in her heart, and Ying Ying bowed: "Wan'er thanked her aunt first." ”

"Okay, the mourning family is a little tired, kneel down!" As she spoke, the Queen Mother turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

"Wan'er quit." After Lan Wan curtsied, she also left the Yongshou Palace.

On the way back to Zhaoyang Palace, she saw many harem concubines walking towards Zhu Yuxuan, and she said to Yuzhu, the personal maid beside her: "Go, go and see!" ”

Xiao Qian sat on the chair in the middle and saw these concubines walking in, she didn't understand what these people were doing here.

"The concubines participate in the noble concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an." A group of concubines saluted.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Xiao Qian said hurriedly.

"Come on, give a seat, watch the tea." Xiao Qian commanded.

Ji Guifei Ji Rumeng said with a smile: "The concubine is good, not only looks good, but also has an extremely kind heart. ”

"That's right, the concubine is really a rare beauty in the world." Another concubine said.

All the concubines chimed in.

Xiao Qian has never been in the midst of so many women, and now these women are praising her, and she doesn't know what to say, but she keeps smiling slightly.

"She's just beautiful, what else is there besides beauty?" At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and it turned out that Concubine Lan had arrived.

The concubines hurriedly got up and saluted: "Concubine Lan is auspicious." ”

Concubine Lan didn't look at it, she walked directly into the hall, and saw Xiao Qian not saluting, standing in the center of the hall with her toes high.

Xiao Qian glanced at her and asked, "Why is Concubine Lan here?" ”

"This palace wants to come and ask the concubine a few questions." Lan Wan said arrogantly.

"Please." Xiao Qian said.

"I don't know who the father of the concubine is, and what contribution he has made to our dynasty?" Lan Wan asked in a contemptuous tone.

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines were slightly surprised, everyone knew that this concubine Niangniang was brought into the palace by the emperor from the people, a folk woman, what kind of prominent figure can her father be? Concubine Lan asked in public, just to embarrass the concubine, everyone knows how much the emperor loves the concubine, she is like this today, isn't she afraid of the emperor's punishment, but then again, who is Concubine Lan, her father is Lan Xiang, her aunt is the queen mother, such a tough backer, I'm afraid even the emperor won't say anything.

While everyone was waiting, Xiao Qian spoke calmly: "I don't have a father, I've been an orphan since I was a child. ”

Now the concubines were even more surprised, originally thought that although the concubine Niangniang was from the people, her father might be a local official, or a businessman on the rich side, no one thought that the concubine Niangniang was actually an orphan.

Obviously, Concubine Lan didn't expect it, and was a little stunned for a while.

At this time, Xiao Qian spoke again: "What else does Concubine Lan want to know?" ”

Concubine Lan came back to her senses and smiled even more contemptuously: "An orphan is also worthy of the position of a concubine?" ”

"If you like it, you can do it." Xiao Qian said calmly.

Everyone is even more uncalm, this concubine is simply contrary to common sense, and some people doubt whether she is mentally normal.

Concubine Lan was stunned again, she once thought that she had heard it wrong, the position that all the women in the harem envied, she was so easily handed over, it was too messy.

"Huh, you're so kind?" Concubine Lan asked in disbelief.

Xiao Qian smiled slightly: "Since you don't believe it, why bother asking?" ”

After hearing this, Concubine Lan was very angry in her heart, and secretly thought that the Queen Mother's aunt said, I will be the queen in the future, who cares about the position of this concubine, thinking about it, she was secretly proud in her heart: "You are willing to let it, this palace is not rare!" ”

Xiao Qian looked at her contemptuous expression, felt a little funny, and didn't want to talk to her about this question, so he didn't speak again.

Concubine Lan changed her words and looked at the house: "The place where our noble concubine lives is really simple, and it is not as good as a small side hall in my Zhaoyang Palace." ”

Bishui has long been unable to settle down, this Concubine Lan is clearly here to find fault, she blurted out without thinking: "Concubine Lan Niangniang is afraid that she doesn't know yet, the emperor has already decreed that the Dragon and Phoenix Hall will be given to our concubine Niangniang, but she hasn't moved there yet." ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd was shocked one after another, which woman in the harem didn't know the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, that was the palace where the future queen lived, and the emperor actually let the concubine live, which was clearly to let the concubines in the court and harem see clearly, although the identity was a concubine, the status was equivalent to the queen.

Bi Shui's words directly made Concubine Lan's face change, she wouldn't not know what this Dragon and Phoenix Hall symbolized, thinking of this, her angry teeth itched, and she was a little disheartened about her future, she glanced at Xiao Qian viciously, and turned around angrily and left Zhu Yuxuan.

Xiao Qian had the opportunity to ask the concubines present: "I don't know ...... you came today?" ”

Ji Rumeng replied first: "First, we came to congratulate Niangniang and become a concubine, and secondly, we came to visit Niangniang, and I hope that Niangniang will help her more in the future." ”

"Congratulations to Niangniang, promoted to concubine, I hope Niangniang will give me a lot of support." The concubines said in unison.

Xiao Qian thought in his heart, I don't know how to live in this huge palace, and you still expect me to carry you, alas, who knows the confusion in my heart.

"I understand what you mean, don't worry." Xiao Qian looked at everyone and said.

"Xie Niangniang!" The crowd thanked.

Subsequently, these people also left Zhuyuxuan in turn, only Ji Rumeng had not left.

After these concubines were finished, Li Rumeng asked: "Niangniang, you once said that the emperor would come to my palace to watch me dance, when did he come?" ”

This question stopped Xiao Qian, and that night it was just to help her out of the siege, a casual remark, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously.

Looking at her flashing big round eyes and looking at herself expectantly, I don't know what she was thinking, but I couldn't say anything, thought about it, and said, "The emperor said that he would go to your palace to watch you dance in the next day or two." ”

"Really? Are you sure? Is that really what the emperor said? Ji Rumeng's eyes lit up.

Xiao Qian nodded against his will.

"Did the emperor say it in front of the concubine? What did he say? Ji Rumeng asked eagerly.

Xiao Qian's slightly embarrassed look still spoke: "Once, when the emperor talked about you, he said that it was a pity that he didn't see you dancing at the dinner last time, so he was going to go to your palace to watch you dance in the next day or two." ”

"Great, great!" Ji Rumeng jumped up happily.

At this time, she didn't look like a harem concubine at all, but she was ecstatic to hear that her beloved man was going to come to see her dance for him.

Xiao Qian looked at her excited expression, but sighed slightly in her heart, the most bitter thing in love is the ruthlessness of Luohua's intentionality, looking at Ji Rumeng, she thought of Ye Yuntian, maybe she should accept the arrangement of fate and try to accept him.
