Chapter 462: Favor

The palace maid whispered to Shen Ling's side to remind, but as smart as her, as soon as she heard her say this, she knew what she was about to face.

She was dressed in a scarlet brocade dress, dressed brightly, and her body was full of pearls and hairpins, just the heavy headdress was about to press her breathlessly, and Shen Ling would never agree to dress like this on weekdays.

But now it is special, she knows that she has to let the emperor know on the surface that he is a person who loves vanity and greeds for power so much, and such a person had better be coaxed to make him let down his guard. c

But she could sense early on that her performance would also cause dissatisfaction among the rest of the palace, but she didn't expect them to come to the door so soon, she lowered her eyes, and the smile froze on her face, and she knew what kind of fear she was about to face without being reminded.

She sent someone to summon the two of them in, only to see that the concubines who came to see her were one big and one small, also dressed with bells and whistles, and the one in front of her looked of a higher grade, which should be the "Concubine Rong" that the palace maid had just reminded her.

Concubine Rong just came by herself, and she had to bring a follower. Shen Ling looked at it quietly, but there was just the right amount of flattering smile on her lips, and she saluted the other party with a gentle attitude, "My sister has seen Sister Rong."

"I have long heard that the emperor has brought in a great beauty that is difficult to find through the ages, and when I see that this is the case today, my sister is really worthy of the praise as rumored, extremely beautiful, such a look can have the emperor's heart, it must be normal."

Concubine Rong thought that Shen Ling was a good person, but she didn't think that she was really as good-looking as the rumors said.

This made her vaguely uneasy, but she could only be yin and yang.

Shen Ling saw that her apparent attitude was quite good, so she responded directly and gently, "Thank you, sister, my sister is also a national beauty."

She noticed that the noble man behind her was about to roll her eyes to the sky, and as soon as Zidaji entered the door, she followed behind Concubine Rong and didn't even bow to her.

"This is a small gift I brought, and I hope my sister will accept it." Concubine Rong gave her an embroidered sachet, but the stitches were rough and the workmanship was not meticulous, which looked incompatible with her delicate dress, Shen Ling saw her perfunctory face, and immediately knew what she meant.

It's really disgusting and embarrassing, but there is a set.

These days, the rewards Shen Ling received could be piled up in small cairns, just a sachet was not a problem, she didn't think about it, so she sent the palace maid to pick a few gifts in return, no matter which one, it was more valuable than the ones she received.

She wouldn't stay here forever, and she wasn't a rarity of these treasures, and if anyone wanted them, she would be willing to think they were here to beg for a reward or two.

Shen Ling's "revenge with virtue" Concubine Rong's matter blew through the palaces like the wind, and now everyone knows that the emperor's new favorite is an unusual master.

During this period, the emperor stayed with her almost every day, came to accompany her in the morning, and sometimes even if the court was busy, he would still come to accompany her for lunch.

The next day, when Shen Ling was having breakfast, the little eunuch came to perform, and when he saw Shen Ling, his face hesitated.

"Say." While serving porridge to Shen Ling, the emperor spoke casually.

"Your Majesty, there are many princes who want to let Concubine Hua go to the palace banquet for a few days, I wonder if you can bring your mother over?"

The little eunuch was submissive, for fear that he would accidentally touch the emperor's scales, and his current degree of treasure to Concubine Hua was unheard of.

The emperor took a serious look at Shen Ling and found that she was still sitting there eating quietly, and there was no reaction when she heard this.

"She's not going." Seeing this, the emperor seemed to feel that this alone was far from enough, and added, "Not only will the palace banquet not go, but in the future, we will also let the princes come to the harem less often, and if they accidentally bump into Hua Concubine, let them come to see them with their heads!"

"Yes."

This news spread all over the six palaces in an instant, and everyone was surprised that this was the first time that the emperor refused to contact the concubine from other royal men, and the princes of all palaces would come to visit the concubine on weekdays, and he was not shy about other concubines, but he actually looked at Shen Ling today

is so strict that even the prince is not allowed to see it.

This can make many harem women red-eyed with jealousy, complaining all day long that she is not accusing her.

Shen Ling occasionally heard some rumors, but she never took it to heart, she was too lazy to deal with this group of stupid people, she didn't have the heart to compete for favor, she also had her own things to do, and she couldn't delay everything she was about to do on these people.

In between refining the elixir, she will make some novelties in the Nether from time to time, such as paper-cutting and clay figurines, and occasionally go to the kitchen to make some small snacks, as well as sugar gourds, plus she will also make some things from the original world, to pass the boring time, and fill her palace with a unique flavor.

Every time the Emperor came to her, he would see a new surprise she had created.

"Your Majesty, you can taste the newly made sugar gourd made by the concubine."

Shen Ling smiled brightly in his eyes, and put the crystal clear sugar gourd in his hand to the emperor's mouth for him to taste.

"It's sweet." The emperor tasted it and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

After Shen Ling finished coaxing him to be happy, he pulled his sleeve and came to the alchemy room, put all the pills he had refined these days there, and introduced them to him one by one, "These days, the concubines have made good progress in refining pills, some of them can maintain health, and some of them can boost people's cultivation ability, they have different functions, but they are all good. Your Majesty, you can put it away and take it yourself or keep it for the reward."

The emperor had never seen so many "free" elixirs, and the smile on his face was even greater, and he was very happy, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said to her, "It's a pity that I can reward you with almost all the rewards, although it has not yet reached seven days, but I can see the person you like in advance, okay?"

What he said was generous, but it made Shen Ling feel frightened.

She felt a chill in her heart, and felt that it was the old fox who was testing her.

But on the one hand, Jing Xi, she didn't want to and couldn't refuse.

Shen Ling was stunned for a moment, with a fake wry smile on his face, and the happiness in his eyes turned into disappointment in an instant, as if he had been touched by someone who could not say much sad things, "But he shouldn't want to see his concubine."

The Emperor loved to see her bent over for love and was not welcomed, and continued to encourage her, "Go and see, what if he still wants to take you away?"

Shen Ling felt sick in the bottom of her heart when he said this, and she hated to refute him directly, but she knew that she couldn't.

She only smiled faintly and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
