Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 15

Yuan Shan was one of the three great eunuchs around the emperor, not the most respectable one, but he was extremely majestic in the palace on weekdays.

In a sense, the position next to the emperor is a competition. If you can't complete the tasks that the emperor has given you, you will probably be replaced. Because of the pressure on you, the few around the emperor Each eunuch has its own unique irreplaceability.

Yuan Shan is familiar with all affairs in the harem, and is usually responsible for the emperor's movement in the harem, including a series of activities such as serving the bed and visiting the garden, so he is very respectable in front of the concubines; in Yao Jinse's memory, other people around the emperor There are two eunuchs, a more stable one named Hu Shijie, and a younger one named Mao Tuan. These two are a pair of masters and apprentices.

Now, it is this middle-aged eunuch named Hu Shijie who mainly follows the emperor, and Yuan Shan's status is between the two, equal to that of the head of the harem.

Therefore, it is Yuan Shan who came to pass on the emperor's order to attend the bedchamber today.

In the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, concubines do not need to go to the Qianqing Palace to serve their bed.

The place where the emperor handles government affairs is a forbidden place for concubines like them. If it is not the kind that is really favored by the emperor, then except for the empress and queen mother, the Qianqing Palace prohibits concubines from setting foot there.

This is to prevent the harem from meddling in politics, and it is also a rule set by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yao Jinse herself is not willing to pay attention to political matters, so she is very accepting of these matters.

But this rule also has some limitations.

That is, the concubines can no longer go to the Qianqing Palace, but can only stay in their own palaces.

It's good for them to live in a palace like them, the emperor will not dislike the small place, but those talented and beautiful women who live in the pavilions and pavilions behind the imperial garden usually live in a bad environment.

So when the first emperor was in court, he changed the Hall of Mental Cultivation next to the Qianqing Palace into a place for sleeping. Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he changed the rules again—if he didn’t want to enter the harem, then the emperor chose to sleep alone. There are two places, Qianqing Palace and Yangxin Palace.

Low-ranking concubines have to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to sleep; those who are slightly higher, or those who have their own palace, can sleep in their own palace.

Yao Jinse is very familiar with this process, but she never thought that she would still have a day to serve her bed.

You know, even in the original plot, Yao Jieyu's number of bedtimes is calculated according to the year. An unfavored concubine, whose appearance is not very outstanding, can only be used in this harem. It's just hard work.

Most of all, this is not the right time.

Even if the emperor wants to flop, it should be in the evening. Why did he decide so early?

But soon, she understood the reason of this incident from Yuan Shan's words.

It wasn't that the plot was messed up by her butterfly wings, but because the emperor wanted to see the child before sunset.

If it was later, the little princess might have to go to bed. The emperor rarely visits the harem every month. The princess has never seen her father's face at this age. The emperor kept it in mind, so he deliberately picked such a time.

Since you want to see, then see you.

Now that the heroine has not yet entered the palace, she just gave her some opportunities. If she doesn't take advantage of this time to sell some benefits in front of the emperor, I'm afraid there won't be any good opportunities in the future.

Yao Jinse responded to this matter with a smile, raised her finger slightly, and Bai Tan, who came out of the room, walked to Yuan Shan's side and touched a purse.

The smile on Yuan Shan's face grew stronger.

As a person close to the emperor, he actually doesn't like the reward given by a Jieyu. After all, the amount is not much. He has always been familiar with the situation in the harem, and he knows that Yao Jieyu's life in the palace is not good. Being well-off, he naturally knew that this little lord couldn't give much good things.

But one cannot just look in front of the eyes.

This Jieyu gave birth to the emperor's first child after he ascended the throne, and she has always been close to the noble concubine. With these two symbols hanging on her body, the emperor has shown goodwill again. Is it possible to worry about the future? what?
In this harem, no one knows how to behave better than these eunuchs. Who can bully and who can't bully, they are like mirrors in their hearts.

And Yao Jinse looked at the back of Yuan Shan leaving on his face, and a smile secretly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

God gave her such an opportunity, she couldn't let it go rashly.

……

Because living in the same palace with Concubine Yi made many things inconvenient, Yao Jinse didn't dress up too much, but kept the old routine and asked the imperial dining room to bring over a table of dinner.

She is now a noble concubine on the surface, and she always has to be considerate of the noble concubine's thoughts when she does things. Although she was introduced by the noble concubine at the beginning, for the noble concubine, recommending by herself and the emperor taking the initiative to go are completely different concepts.

Her recommendation is valid, which proves that she has status in the emperor's heart; but if the emperor takes the initiative to go, it means that Yao Jinse is already in the emperor's heart.

The imperial concubine may not be able to tolerate such a thing.

Yao Jinse was afraid that such a thing would happen, so he had to make sufficient preparations.

Who knows who in this palace is someone else's eyeliner?

She didn't dare to bet on this possibility, because in the plot she was familiar with, their imperial concubine could still grow popular in the harem for at least five or six years.

In this clichéd story, it is true that the emperor wants to take action against the Duke's Mansion, but, as the so-called centipede is dead but not stiff, it is not so easy for a giant to collapse.

The old man is still alive, even if he really does something, he will have to wait for the old man who has made great contributions to the country to die.

Therefore, for a long time to come, Yao Jinse may still have to rely on the imperial concubine to survive in the harem.

Then, while seeking the favor of the emperor, the favor of the imperial concubine and empress must not be left behind.

……

Xie Yun'an came half an hour before dinner, the mighty team reached the gate of Yuxiu Palace, and a sensible little eunuch had already opened the way ahead.

Concubine Yi didn't come out to meet the emperor, she has been with the emperor for many years, she knows best what kind of person the emperor is, since the emperor asked Yao Jieyu by name today, she naturally wouldn't rush to join in the fun at this time.

On the other side of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Rong Gui did not respond at all.

Because she had expected this early on.

When the emperor went to Yuxiu Palace, she personally mentioned this matter to the emperor. The last time the emperor sat down and left, this time, in Concubine Rong's opinion, it is really a reasonable thing .

After all, there is a child.

She wasn't worried at all that Yao Jinse would be spoiled, if it wasn't for her recommendation, Yao Jinse would still be like those ordinary talented and beautiful women, who could only live in the pavilion behind the imperial garden.

What she really has to worry about is those women who are about to enter the palace through the draft, as well as the newcomers in the future.

After all, she can't be young forever, but there will always be someone as young as her.

　Steady on the street...
