Chapter 174: Concubine?
"Concubine?"
The surprise on Shen Qingjiao's face didn't look like a fake, and her undisguised emotions made Xiao Qi smile heartily: "Do you also think that Jiang Guifei is too generous?" Before you gave birth to a child, let me make you a concubine, which shows that Jiang Guifei is very fond of the child in your womb. β
Xiao Qi spoke with a hint of displeasure, of course he wanted to promote Shen Qingjiao's position, but he would never push Shen Qingjiao to the forefront at once like Jiang Guifei's words.
Shen Qingjiao also knew in her heart that Jiang Guifei wanted to murder the queen, but she generally didn't have any good intentions towards her, Shen Qingjiao was not a simple-minded person, she used to be just a wise man to protect herself, and she was also mediocre about everything in the harem, but now, even if she doesn't want to muddy the water, she can't help herself, but she is by no means a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
Shen Qingjiao's eyes were dark, and she unexpectedly stroked her stomach and said softly, "What is the plan of the saint." β
Xiao Qi smiled, his smile was even more heart-warming under the flickering candle flame, he had absorbed the superior appearance of the first emperor and Zhao Guiji, otherwise, how could he make the women of the world yearn for the harem.
But Xiao Qi had another idea in his heart, Shen Qingjiao would not have asked this in such a grand manner in the past, and now she can do this, why not just respond to what Xiao Qi thinks day and night, of course he is happy, happy, and he also feels that his heart will never be disappointed. πΌ.π₯π€πππ.πΎπΎπ
Xiao Qi pulled the brocade quilt up, and waved off one side of the bed curtain, so that only him and Shen Qingjiao were left in a narrow world, and he whispered softly in his mouth: "Of course, your position must be promoted, otherwise how can you become a concubine and an imperial concubine in the future, how can you come to my side step by step?" And the lifetime and couple you are looking forward to will of course come true. β
"A couple for a lifetime?" Shen Qingjiao seemed to have heard something, her eyelashes trembled, and a sense of unreality made her repeat this sentence in a daze.
Such a beautiful fantasy of a couple for a lifetime, she didn't think about it before she became a palace concubine, but now she naturally can't, but Xiao Qi's expression is solemn, Shen Qingjiao's usual calm self-control suddenly disappeared, she was a little at a loss, after all, she looked at Xiao Qi with a pair of Danfeng eyes.
Xiao Qi scratched Shen Qingyao's nose affectionately: "This is not only what you are looking forward to, but also what I am looking forward to." Do you think that the queen, concubine, and concubine Rong are all my choices? No, not even Concubine Jiang, let alone the rest. It's just you from beginning to end, and it's just you. β
Xiao Qi seemed to be saying something very ordinary, but Shen Qingjiao's beating heart missed a beat, Xiao Qi's gaze was too deep and contained affection, Shen Qingjiao couldn't avoid it, and Xiao Qi's eyes were opposite, and the heart that was skipping suddenly thumped like a storm, as if it was about to jump out of the warm chest, Shen Qingjiao suddenly lowered her eyes and took a few deep breaths.
After calming down, Shen Qingjiao carefully recalled what Xiao Qi said, she knew that the queen's concubines in the middle palace, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Rong were all just selected by the Queen Mother and the first emperor for Xiao Qi, as for Concubine Jiang Guifei.
"I can't choose when I'm young, since someone has made a choice for me, good or bad, with or without a family, but the left has to choose, then let them go, everyone else has no choice for the woman who entered the palace, so why don't I? The only time I spoke, I was rejected, and it's funny to think about. When Xiao Qi said this, his playful eyes fell on Shen Qingjiao.
Shen Qingjiao's face was unnatural for a moment, after thinking about it, he put one of his hands on the back of Xiao Qi's hand, of course Xiao Qi laughed naughtily, but he didn't want to accept the benefits in front of him, he kneaded Shen Qinghui's white hands to his heart's content, but the rest of his words did not stop.
"As for Concubine Jiang, do you know that her relationship with me is all due to my biological mother, Zhao Guiji?" Xiao Qi probably remembered something, and his eyes were gloomy: "But Shen Qingjiao, what you don't know is that Zhao Guiji was originally a concubine in the family, and because the concubine had a beloved, she was forced to take the name of the concubine and enter the palace." β
Shen Qingjiao was afraid that she would not be able to know the secrets of Xiao Qi's biological mother in her life, so she was shocked and quickly reined in her thoughts and asked, "Aren't the daughters of Zhongchen officials who can participate in the draft very strict?" How can I let the concubine replace the concubine in the family? β
"Money makes the devil grind." Xiao Qi seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed loudly: "Can you not know such a simple truth?" From the very beginning, the portrait sent to the palace is my biological mother, Zhao Guiji! Therefore, on the day of the draft, the concubine and the concubine not only changed their identities, but also changed their names, and even their appearance was made by the aunt in the palace because of their quadruple resemblance, and the makeup was changed more similarly. β
"I see."
Shen Qingjiao knows how to live in the palace, not to mention that you can make ghosts grind, even if you have money, it is not impossible to let ghosts and gods bow down to you, not to mention just doing things in portraits, makeup, etc.
After Xiao Qi laughed, his tone became deeper and colder: "But when I sat on the dragon chair, the Jiang family actually used this to cling to me, and even said many things about Zhao Guiji that I didn't know to show affection, don't you say it's funny."
