Chapter 477: Imperial Decree to Confer the Title of Concubine
Li Shiwen said, "Your Majesty, I have heard some news these days, I don't know if it is true or not."
Zhang Yuyan said, "It seems that what my sister and I heard was just a rumor."
The two looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting there.
As the fragrant tea went down her throat, Lin Junxue slowly put down the teacup in her hand and gently raised her exquisite face.
Her eyebrows are like a painting, her slender eyebrows are slightly raised, and her eyes are like deep lakes.
“Yes, it’s true.”
Li Shiwen and Zhang Yuyan looked at each other. Since the Queen said it was true, then it must be true.
Zhang Yuyan asked, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been acting so pretentiously these days, could it be because of this?"
Lin Junxue curled her lips
Speak softly
"The eldest princess is dead, and the Queen Mother was able to figure it out so quickly and find ways to reconcile with the Emperor. Naturally, there must be someone behind the scenes directing her."
Six days ago, the Queen Mother proposed to the Emperor that she wanted to bring her niece, An Qianning, the legitimate daughter of the Queen Mother's younger brother Anshan, into the palace to stay for some time.
Speaking of An Qianning, she is also a famous noble lady with both talent and beauty.
In the early years, she accompanied Anshan on diplomatic missions and gained his trust.
Among all the children in the An family, only An Qianning is the most favored.
famous
The most important thing is that An Qianning was already of legal age four years ago and should have been betrothed to someone else.
But there was no movement, so it has been four years and she is still not married.
This is the most interesting part. The people who are seeking marriage have already stepped through the door.
But An Shan was reluctant to give in and promised An Qian Ning to marry him off.
unless……
Li Shiwen nodded
"From what Your Majesty said, it seems that this news was also released by the Queen Mother to test the reactions of the concubines in the harem. I think it mainly depends on Your Majesty's reaction."
Lin Junxue smiled slightly
"Yesterday, the Queen Mother kept me here and told me about this matter. She was afraid that I would hinder this matter and prevent her good niece from entering the palace."
Lin Junxue thought of the Queen Mother's words yesterday and just found it funny.
Not only would she not stop An Qianning from entering the palace, she would also facilitate it.
Behind An Qianning is An Shan
Since they will have to fight sooner or later, now that An Qianning has entered the palace, it is just the right time.
Zhang Yuyan said, "I heard that the eldest daughter of the An family had a close relationship with the emperor when she was young. A few years ago, the emperor intended to take An Qianning into the palace?"
Lin Junxue nodded
"It's not a rumor, this is true. Back then, the emperor did intend to let An Qianning enter the palace, but An Qianning refused."
This An Qian is a smart man
This tactic of playing hard to get is not simple.
Her rejection back then has made Xie Yu think about it until now.
People often don't cherish what they get easily.
An emperor like Xie Yu also has the bad qualities of men.
And An Qianning's grasp of men is naturally not simple.
An Qianning, a woman who rejected him, is full of charm and boldness
Yesterday, Xie Yu went to Zhonghe Palace and mentioned that An Qianning was going to enter the palace. The joy on his face could not be faked.
Xie Yu kept saying in front of her that he just treated An Qianning as his sister.
Ha ha……
How could Xie Yu not know the Queen Mother's intention of letting An Qianning enter the palace at this time?
Zhang Yuyan didn't expect that this rumor was true.
"My queen, An Qianning will enter the palace soon. I'm afraid there will be trouble in the harem again."
Once An Qianning enters the palace, she will definitely find ways to win favor.
Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have tried every possible means, even enduring the death of the eldest princess, just to allow the eldest daughter of the An family to enter the palace.
Lin Junxue said calmly, "The women in this harem are always endless, and the struggles between the women in the harem are like the wind, and will never stop."
Li Shiwen frowned
"Your Highness, the Emperor favors you now. I think An Qianning came to the palace for you. Based on her relationship with the Emperor and their past, Your Highness should be more careful."
Lin Junxue smiled without saying anything, but there seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling in her eyes.
She just lowered her eyes slightly, leaving only a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the dark night, beautiful but short-lived.
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue had just finished dinner when Xie Yu came with Gao Cheng.
"May the Emperor be blessed with good health"
Xie Yu helped Lin Junxue up and walked to the chaise longue and sat down.
"Jun'er, I wanted to have dinner with you today, but I stayed with my mother for a little longer, so I was delayed."
Lin Junxue personally served the tea and smiled gently.
"Your Majesty, my mother has been able to reconcile with you. These days, you should spend more time with her. I have nothing to do. As long as your Majesty and my mother are doing well, I am happy too."
Xie Yu was very satisfied with Lin Junxue's understanding. He reached out and held her in his arms.
As time went by, Xie Yu's enthusiasm for Lin Junxue not only did not decrease, but increased.
"Jun'er, in half a month, there will be a royal hunting party. This time, I will take you with me."
Lin Junxue paused slightly and looked at Xie Yu's serious expression.
"Your Majesty, are you taking me with you alone? This is against the rules."
Xie Yu's eyes, as deep as a pool of water, narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be endless deep meaning hidden in his eyes.
"Jun'er, I just want to take you with me. I am the rule. I am willing to pamper you. Who dares to say anything?"
Lin Junxue leaned in Xie Yu's arms, her tone was excited, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind"
Lin Junxue deliberately mentioned the incident today when Zhang Yuyan brought the princess to Zhonghe Palace, which reminded Xie Yu of something.
It has been more than half a year since Zhang Yuyan gave birth to the second princess, and it is time for her to be promoted.
Second day
Xie Yu issued an edict to set out on a hunting expedition half a month later, and the only person accompanying him was the Queen Lin Junxue.
At the same time, Gao Cheng personally delivered an imperial edict to Jinghe Palace to confer the title of imperial concubine.
Jinghe Palace
Gao Cheng finished reading the imperial edict
"Your Highness Huifei, please accept the decree. The Emperor said that the enthronement ceremony will be held in ten days. After your enthronement ceremony, the Emperor will take the Empress to the Royal Hunting Ground. Your Highness does not need to worry. The enthronement ceremony will be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. Your Highness just needs to follow the rules and procedures."
Once you become a concubine, your status in the harem will be completely different.
Now, Zhang Yuyan has also become one of the four concubines.
Zhang Yuyan took the imperial edict with a smile, and the palace maid beside her handed her a bag of heavy golden melon seeds.
Gao Cheng accepted it, and the smile on his face deepened
"Thank you, Madam Huifei. I will take my leave now. Madam Huifei, please make good preparations in the next few days."
The news of Zhang Yuyan's appointment as a concubine spread throughout the harem in an instant, and the reactions varied.
the other side
When Sun Manrou heard the news, she had already lost the energy to be angry.
She doesn't care who becomes the concubine now.
She has long been a concubine in name only, and will never be favored again in this life.
Shenguang Palace
Concubine Mi put down the brush in her hand, her eyes slightly deep
Zhang Yuyan became Concubine Hui and was waiting for An Qianning to enter the palace.
The pattern of the harem has once again ushered in new changes
The last concubine position is ultimately a contest between the Queen and An Qianning
