Jiang Yao's smiling look gradually faded, which scared Yingyue again, although Jiang Yao was not angry, but the cold aura on her body still made her tremble in her heart.

And she didn't do anything in front of Concubine Luo as she thought, or make trouble in front of the emperor, she didn't even have a trace of anger, she was indifferently as if she was listening to a story.

The more I know about Jiang Yao, the more I feel that Concubine Shu is like a bottomless pit. I can't touch my preferences, I can't touch my temper, and I can't touch her mind.

"For Aunt Changhu's sake, I still have to remind you, if you want to survive in this palace, you have to learn to abide by your own rules, no matter what cool words others say to your ears, you have to pretend that you are deaf."

Yingyue listened to the words that were the same as her aunt, and she was even more grateful to Jiang Yao in her heart.

"Follow the teachings of the lady concubine."

Jiang Yao consciously hindered Duan Jingyan's face, and had already admonished this little girl, as the person of the Associate Sixth Palace, she also had to ask what she wanted, and she couldn't let the Internal Affairs Office assign an errand at will.

This meeting made Jiang Yao feel like inserting the boss's distant relatives into the company, which was a headache.

"I can give you three ways, one is to send you to the emperor and serve the emperor."

Jiang Yao couldn't figure out Duan Jingyan's thoughts about Yingyue, the emperor deliberately maintained it, and Yingyue took the initiative to board the ship, as if she felt that the stage was set up for a play, and she was waiting for her to sing on stage.

Yingyue looked at Jiang Yao's tentative eyes, immediately knelt down, and said: "Niangniang, the slave and maid really don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare to climb the emperor, the emperor only has Niangniang in his heart, and the slave and maid dare not compete with Niangniang even if they have a hundred courages." ”

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows puzzled, didn't this ancient woman enter the palace for this little thing? Why is Yingyue still not happy? Look at how direct Su Miao is, could it be that she really wants something else?

"Second, stay by my side, reward you with a bowl of rice, and be a big palace maid with a head and a face."

This is also the opportunity that many palace maids have been seeking all their lives, to be able to get ahead. But Jiang Yao looked at Yingyue and still didn't respond, so she continued: "The third way is that you are wandering in the palace by yourself, and it depends on you whether you are promoted or not. ”

Yingyue lowered her eyebrows and said slowly: "This time I came out with my aunt on my back, I didn't want to be the emperor's concubine, although I was clothed and fed, but Yingyue has seen too many fireworks-like women, and she can have a few nights of glory, but it's just a sunset." ”

This sentence made Jiang Yao have to look the other way, "You can understand this truth at a young age, and it must be your aunt who taught you well." ”

"The slave doesn't want to rely on the relationship with the aunt, relying on the mother's appreciation, and pampering herself in the palace. Slaves and maids have understood since childhood. The only one who can rely on is herself, and the slave and maid don't ask for anything else, just hope to meet a prince and nobleman and marry herself. ”

"That's true, but there's someone in the picture?"

Yingyue's face was slightly stunned, then she shook her head and replied, "No." ”

"In that case, then you can go to the palace and go by yourself, whether it is a blessing or a curse, you have to go through it yourself, and it will not be in vain to come to the imperial city."

"Thank you for your leniency."

Jiang Yao didn't say anything, looked at the gradually prosperous realm in the distance, and saw that the Forbidden City was approaching.

Jiang Yao pointed to Yingyue and said: "That is the Forbidden City, a place that many people dream of, and it has also buried the youth of many people." ”

Yingyue raised her eyes, full of joy and expectation, that kind of look was the mood of too many harem women when they entered the palace, but Jiang Yao knew that she was not, she had no sustenance in this palace city.

It was already the autumn season, and a large number of people and horses entered the palace city, Jiang Yao put Hai Jin in the Yao Pond and asked Hu Su for a while.

Cai and Duan Jingyan sat at the palace gate to greet the royal court, and Luo Shu also sat in the concubine sedan chair, which was very beautiful.

Concubine Song stood in front of the gate of the Taihe Palace, welcoming everyone back, with the Queen Mother as in the past, and a concubine standing behind her, Concubine Shen with a smile on her face, Yun Bi and Zhao Guifei were also in the welcoming procession.

Jiang Yao and Duan Jingyan got off the royal court one after another, held each other's hands, walked up the steps, and said to the Queen Mother in the center: "See the Queen Mother." ”

Duan Jing stretched his hand to help the Queen Mother, sat on the seat behind him, and said: "Now that the autumn is cool, the Queen Mother is still waiting for her sons, it is really the sons' negligence." ”

The Queen Mother's hand stroked Duan Jingyan's hand and patted it: "It's okay, seeing that the emperor can return smoothly, the heart of the mourning family has settled." ”

"The concubines see the emperor, see the concubines."

Everyone in the harem greeted Jiang Yao with Concubine Song, Jiang Yao smiled slightly, and replied: "Sisters, no courtesy." ”

Jiang Yao looked at Concubine Song, whose belly was gradually bulging, and said, "Counting the days, my sister has been pregnant for more than five months, time flies so fast, I miss our carefree days before." ”

Concubine Song's eyes sank, and at this time, Jiang Yao blocked everyone from talking about the past, which reminded her of the cold and yin tide in the West Sixth Palace before, and there was a resentment in her heart that she had nowhere to vent, complaining that she didn't know how to fight, and she was even more sober to get her current position.

She also looked at Jiang Yao, swept Jiang Yao's still slender waist, smiled out, and said: "My sister and the emperor have been going for half a year, and I heard that they have encountered a lot of twists and turns, and my sister's heart is tightly pinched in the palace. ”

Jiang Yao looked at Concubine Song, who was now more and more good at acting, she couldn't forget the time when the plague, Duan Jingyan was in a coma on the bed, she flew back to the palace and asked for some medicinal materials, but neither Concubine Song nor the Queen Mother did.

It was Hu Su who contacted the medicinal herb merchant Jia in Jiangnan to settle the matter and save the royal face, and now Jiang Yao looked at the transitional decaying and erosive harem, and wanted to return it to a clear place from the bottom of his heart.

"That really made my sister worry about me."

Concubine Song smiled and looked at Luo Shu, who was carefully supported by Ji Xiang, and couldn't help but be wary in her eyes.

"I heard that Concubine Luo has been promoted to the concubine position, this etiquette has not been done outside, but when I return to the palace, I naturally have to make up for Concubine Luo, and the ceremonial dress has been sent to your palace. Tomorrow, Concubine Luo should remember to come early to ask for peace. ”

Luo Shu looked at everyone with proud eyebrows, and began to hold her waist before she was pregnant, and said, "Your Majesty, this day is a little sunny, and the concubines are a little weak and can't stand it." ”

Duan Jingyan waved his hand, helped the Queen Mother to get up, and said, "It's lunchtime, let's eat together in the Qianqing Palace." ”

In the Qianqing Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs are already passing the dishes, and on the high platform of the main hall is Duan Jingyan's dragon table, on the left is the queen mother's leaning position, and on the right side is the queen's residence, and the queen is now hanging in the back.

Jiang Yao led the concubines into the Qianqing Palace slowly, at this time the emperor and the queen mother had already sat down, Duan Jingyan pointed to the queen's chair and said to Jiang Yao: "Come, A-Yao, be by my side." ”

This move made Concubine Song and Luo Shu, who were standing behind Jiang Yao, jealous, obviously one step behind Jiang Yao, and now that they are pregnant, why can't they sit in the back seat? It was she, Jiang Yao, who seized the opportunity.

Jiang Yao smiled, slowly walked up to the high platform, walked to the queen's chair and sat down slowly, and said, "Sisters, sit down too." ”

Although Concubine Song's heart was very blocked, she still had a peaceful smile on her face, Luo Shu looked at Jiang Yao without hiding her jealousy, Jiang Yao also didn't care indifferently, Concubine Shen nodded towards Concubine Shu, and everyone went to their seats.

Duan Jingyan looked at the big fish and meat on the table, and said to Kant: "There are more pregnant concubines this year, and I ordered the imperial dining room to make two bowls of sour plum soup and serve them to Concubine Song and Concubine Luo." ”

Kant bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, the imperial dining room is already being prepared." ”

Luo Shu stroked her chest, looking at the table full of food is a burst of nausea, Su Miao sat on the side and looked at Concubine Luo is chuckle, looking at the trembling Zhao Guifei, her eyes instantly became smart.

"Zhao Guifei was finally promoted to Zhaorong at the beginning, why has she become a noble concubine now?"

Without the queen's support, the Zhao family is still in a state of decay, Zhao Guifei looked at Su Miao is eyes full of hatred, and just wanted to speak, she was stopped by Mo Lan beside her, and said: "Master, we can't afford to provoke the people of the Su family now." ”

Concubine Shen also looked to the two people here, and now that the low-ranking concubines are fighting with each other, she doesn't have to pay attention to them anymore.

At this time, it was Concubine Song who said slowly: "The matter of accepting bribes privately has been ascertained, and it is the children of the Zhao family, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Guifei. ”
