Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 482 Extra Story: The Prince

"May the queen be blessed and safe!"

All the ladies stood up and saluted.

Ye Yun waved her hands worriedly, "Excuse me, I've kept you waiting for a long time, something happened to me, I'm late, please sit down, let's talk while eating."

"Your Majesty is the mother of the world, there are indeed many things to worry about, but your empress should also cherish your body. The courtiers can make incense, and today I happened to bring some soothing incense that I made myself, and dedicated it to my empress, wishing my empress a peaceful sleep. It's a little thought from my courtiers." Zeng said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, let the accompanying maid bring up a brocade box.

Ye Yun asked Huiyue to take it over, and sniffed it with dignity.

"Miss Zeng is skillful, this incense is not worse than the ones in the palace, but I have too many things on my mind, no matter how good the incense is, it just doesn't work, I just want you all to think about it for me today, The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it coincides with the Liao Kingdom sending envoys here, how should the Palace receive them?"

Immediately, the expressions of the group of girls below were different.

Everyone guessed that this was the empress's test, but some people didn't know where the test site was.

Sure enough, a Miss He who was acting as a foil said softly, "According to the rules, there will be no mistakes."

Wu Shi, who had not opened his mouth all this time, spoke softly now.

"Sister He doesn't know that the royal family of the Liao Kingdom belongs to the Tuoba style, and the death day of its ancestor emperor is August [-]th. On this day, the entire Liao Kingdom mourns in silence and cannot celebrate. It is completely opposite to our Mid-Autumn festival. .”

Finally, he smiled embarrassedly, "I read a lot of miscellaneous books on weekdays, and I know a little bit. My father often reprimands me for not paying attention to serious poems and articles. Girls, don't laugh at me."

This was said very tactfully, not only showing off his own talents, but also maintaining the face of other ladies.

Well done.

Ye Yun was the first to nod her, "Then let Miss Wu tell you how to do it first."

"Yes." Wu stood up, looking very calm.

After standing still, she said, "Your servant thinks that the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet cannot be held for the sake of several envoys from the Liao Kingdom. Doesn't this appear to be that I, Nanqi, bowed my head? But for the sake of good relations between the two countries, we cannot ignore the Liao Kingdom at all. For the sake of saving face, it is better to arrange the envoys in the Sifang Huifu Hall, and order special officials and servants to accompany them to mourn, so that the two aspects are complete."

"I don't think it's so good." The girl from the Shen family stood up and retorted, "The so-called do as the Romans do, and the Liao Kingdom should show some sincerity when they come to worship. In such a big country, why let them go to the banquet together if they don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth.”

Lin sneered, "Wouldn't that forcefully destroy the friendship between the two countries? You can't bear the consequences of this. I think Miss Wu has a better idea, which is the same as mine."

Ye Yun watched them arguing with a smile on her face, unable to see her emotions at all.

She tilted her head and looked to one side, "What does Miss Zeng think?"

"This is such an important matter, the courtiers dare not speak nonsense." Zeng bit her lips and blessed her body.

She really didn't know how to say it, she didn't have the eloquence at all.

Ye Yun withdrew her gaze lightly, and finally looked at Xiao Shi who was quiet from the beginning to the end.

"Miss Xiao, tell me."

For a while, everyone quieted down and looked over, wanting to see what the daughter of a down-and-out family could say.

"Then my servant would be more respectful than obedient." Xiao stood up and saluted generously.

He looked confident.

"The courtiers think that although the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is organized by the empress, but the reception of the envoys is a matter of the previous dynasty. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the empress can throw it out. Ask the Ministry of Rites to draw up a regulation. If everything needs the empress If you do it yourself and support so many ministers, your salary will not be white."

"Of course, since the empress asked, the courtier should also come up with a serious method. The courtier actually agrees with Miss Shen's statement. Why should I be accommodating in my big country, but because it is a big country, I should show generosity." Come in an inclusive manner.”

"The Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanqi means reunion. The Liao Kingdom set August [-]th as the anniversary of the death of the founding ancestor of the Tuoba family. It is possible to mourn on this day. It can't be said that it is a memory of the dead and a desire for reunion. It does not coincide with our reunion, but one is for the living and the other is for the dead, Yin and Yang are one, so we should celebrate together."

After the words were finished, the eyes of everyone present changed slightly.

No one expected that she could answer so meticulously and thoughtfully, including Ye Yun, who suddenly felt a little shaken in her thoughts about her family background.

But after all, he didn't show anything in front of everyone.

He just smiled and spoke like a gossip.

"They're all very good, each has its own merits. It seems that I, Nan Qi, have many talented women. This is Nan Qi's luck."

Several ladies, including Xiao Shi, wanted to catch something from Ye Yun's expression and tone, but Ye Yun's city mansion was something that these teenage girls could see through.

When she finally left the palace, no one knew what the empress's mind was.

We can only wait for the result.

On the same day, Ye Yun told Ning Chen about what happened at today's banquet.

The husband and wife discussed the decision on this matter for nearly five days.

During these five days, Ning Chen once used his secret guards to investigate these girls.

He really didn't want to choose bad women into the prince's backyard.

Ten days later, the dust settled.

The imperial decree promulgated that the Shen family was the crown prince's concubine, the Xiao family was the prince's side concubine, and the Wu family was the Liangdi.

Seeing this result, Xiao Shi was expecting it, but he was still disappointed.

But it finally came true.

In fact, these days, Ning Chen and Ye Yun had discussed for a long time, because they felt that Xiao's being a princess was enough except for her family background.

But the princess is not only to meet the standards of being a princess, but also the wife of the prince.

It is true that Mrs. Xiao is intelligent, but this woman is too calm, rational and purposeful, she is not as sincere and candid as Mrs. Shen.

For such a woman, there must be someone who can control and suppress her well, otherwise it will be extremely easy to cause changes.

Shen is not lacking in intelligence, and his tactics are more decisive, so he is a good candidate.

The prince had no objection to this result.

In fact, just as Ye Yun thought, after entering the mansion, the Shen family acted resolutely, with clear rewards and punishments, which is indeed a good material for being a housewife.

Xiao Shi is smart and doesn't want to fight, so he has become a mediator and neutralizer very well.

But people always have preferences. Obviously, the prince still likes Xiao Shi more, but he is also satisfied with Shen Shi.

Ye Yun has only one request for these two daughters-in-law, no matter who they are, they are not allowed to lay hands on their heirs.

Shen's work is open and aboveboard, and she agrees happily, while Xiao's is smart, knowing that this Nilin can't be touched, so she abides by it.

After all, it is to make the prince's backyard very stable.

It's just that the prince is also frustrated, that is, he has not been able to pursue the relationship between his father and his mother in his life.

Having been together for many years, whether it is Shen Shi, Xiao Shi, or other women, he has never had any other emotions.

This is also a pity.

After all, there are not many women like Ye Yun, even if the Xiao family was so special back then, they are still incomparable.

However, the prince also experienced two empresses in his life. After Shen gave birth to two daughters, he died of illness, and he established the Xiao family.

In fact, Xiao Shi only gave birth to one son, who was later established as the next prince.

Ning Yujing's life was actually very smooth. Before he ascended the throne, his parents paved the way. After ascending the throne, he flexed his muscles. The two empresses were also satisfied. There was never a child who died in a fight in the harem.

He has never experienced his father's difficulties at the beginning, nor has he met an indispensable beloved like his father, but his life is considered complete, which is rare in the royal family.
