"Mother--do you know what's going on outside!" Ripple got up early in the morning to comb Kou Shu's hair, and said to Kou Shu very excitedly.

It's been half a month since the last draft ceremony. Now that the weather is getting colder, the promises and those who have entered the palace have also arranged the female officials of the Shangyi Palace according to their respective positions.

Looking at himself in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, Kou Shu's eyes were a little smiling, and she said lightly: "What, what did you say?" ”

Ripple saw that Kou Shu was interested, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Now everyone in the palace knows that there were a total of three jade medals won by three women in the draft ceremony that day, namely Sun Changzai and Song Changzai, and that Yang Min, who originally won the jade medal, should also be always there, but I don't know how he won the favor of the emperor and rose directly to the position of a nobleman." ”

Sun Shangyan is the niece of the third prince, and the strength behind him should not be underestimated, Song Ningyin and he is the daughter of the previous dynasty, as for Yang Min, needless to say, it is the eldest daughter of the famous Northwest General Yang Qi, if she was not born two years late, her position as the queen may also be hers, Kou Shu smiled lightly, the so-called former dynasty in the palace is closely related, these three people seem to have their own personalities and appearances, so they are very pleased with Song Jinyan, and in fact, I am afraid that after weighing the pros and cons, Song Jinyan's choice in order to balance the forces of all parties.

Looking at the neat headdresses placed on the table, Kou Shu sighed secretly in her heart, last night was the first time that Song Jinyan summoned this year's show maids to sleep, according to the convention, as the queen, all the show girls will come to Changle Palace to listen to their lectures in a while.

"And what—" Ripple chattered as she helped Kou Shu continue to comb her hair; "That Ling'er girl is really the worst."

"Ling'er?" Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, if it weren't for the ripples to speak, she would have almost forgotten about this person, just because in the past half a month, the news of various newcomers has been reaching her ears one after another, but there is no word about this Ling'er.

Seeing Kou Shu frowning, the mandarin duck took a step forward and saluted Kou Shu, saying: "Today, the slave maid got the order of the mother, and I was going to send a meeting gift to the little masters, but I didn't expect to meet the Ling'er girl in the firewood room to keep warm. ”

"Make a fire?" Kou Shu was puzzled: "Su Peiyuan is still so unreliable?" It's good that Ling'er is also a position of promise, and she is also a master, why don't you even have a warm clothes? ”

The mandarin duck shook her head: "Niangniang doesn't know, that Ling'er girl is because that day, she was too popular in the Jinluan Palace, but now she has been given flowers, but it is mediocre, and everyone is unconvinced, so ......"

Kou Shu was stunned, she has been the queen since she entered the palace, and she is the eldest lady of the Kou family behind her, and most of the people she comes into contact with are such high-ranking nobles, she actually forgot that people are high and low. In the harem, on the surface, it is the appearance, posture and talent, but inside it is the contest of power and background, and even wealth.

That Ling'er was originally found by Yuan Yun that day, in order to replace Lan Ruoxuan's position in the queen mother's heart, but a poor peasant girl was born, and when she arrived in the palace, it was only a few days, and she was naturally seen by others.

"But-" Kou Shu frowned: "Doesn't the Queen Mother know?" ”

The mandarin duck shook her head and said, "The slave maid feels that Miss Ling'er did not take the initiative to tell the Queen Mother about this. ”

Kou Shu smiled, there was no such thing as being too concerned about it, seeing that Ripple had already put on his headdress and hair accessories, Kou Shu nodded, got up and said, "Let's go." Let's go to the main hall and have a look. ”

On the Changle Palace, more than a dozen chairs are lined up left and right, and they are lined up in turn.

With just one glance, Kou Shu swept to Yang Min, who was sitting first on the left.

Da Xuan respects the left and the right is humble. Now Yang Minnai is the only noble person among everyone, with the highest position, and it is not inappropriate to sit in this position. And opposite her, sat Sun Shangyan, the niece of the third prince, who wanted to say that she was born to her parents. Sun Shangyan's father and mother are not a great person, but this Sun Shangyan has a great aunt who married Song Yuanxu, the third king of the dynasty, as a concubine. In this way, Sun Shangyan's identity is of course a little more valuable than everyone else.

Seeing Kou Shulai, everyone got up and saluted in unison, and said in unison: "I've seen the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

Kou Shu raised her hand, supported her in the air, and then said: "Since the sisters have come to the palace, they will be a family in the future, and now everyone has just entered the palace, if there is anything missing, you can come to Changle Palace to find the palace at any time." ”

Everyone thanked them and paused, Kou Shu asked knowingly and continued: "I don't know which sister was so lucky last night to get the emperor's curtain. ”

Yang Min's face flashed with a hint of smugness, and then he got up and saluted Kou Shuting: "Queen Qiqi is a concubine. ”

"Hmph-" Behind Kou Shu, Ripple snorted coldly in a very low voice.

Kou Shu's eyes moved slightly, the ripples would not be so excessive on weekdays, and this matter was probably not so simple, so she couldn't help asking: "So, congratulations to my sister, it's a great blessing to be able to get the emperor's favor." ”

"That's right—" A voice came softly, but it was to the point: "It's a pity that my sister only slept in the middle of the night, and the emperor's grace was mighty, and it was only the work of the middle of the night." ”

Seeing Kou Shu frowning, Sun Changzai continued: "Don't you know the queen mother? Last night, Concubine Xuan's stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the concubine heard that the emperor only stayed in Yang Guiren's palace for a few hours, and then went straight to Concubine Xuan's palace, and never came back overnight," After a pause, Sun Changzai's tone showed a hint of sneer: "If that's the case, it's a long night, I don't know how Yang Guiren spent it?" ”

"You-" Yang Guiren gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow Sun Changzai alive, and was afraid of Kou Shu, so he could only lower his head, he was now just a small nobleman, if he and Sun Chang were pulling and biting, it would make the queen dislike, but it would be a big loss because of a small loss.

When Kou Shu heard this, she realized why she snorted coldly, it was because Concubine Xuan had repeated her old tricks. Waving her hand, Kou Shu continued: "Concubine Xuan is now pregnant with a child in her belly, so she will inevitably be squeamish, and the emperor will only have to accompany her, and the sisters should be more understanding." ”

When Yang Guiren heard this, his face tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "What Niangniang said is that everything is based on the dragon species, and the concubines have no words. ”
