The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Lu Zan was watching from the side, and when he saw the little woman's confident posture, he raised his eyebrows, which seemed to make him laugh.

He said nothing and continued to watch.

"Yuan Zhaoyi, a woman's appearance is not the most important, her virtue is the most important." At this time, the Queen Mother couldn't help but say.

"What the Queen Mother said is that I, my concubine, should remember the Queen Mother's teachings." Upon hearing this, Jing Shu immediately put on a obedient and obedient posture, which made it difficult for the Queen Mother to find fault with her anymore.

The Queen Mother simply ignored Jing Shu and looked at Lu Zan again.

"Emperor, what do you think of Birou?"

"Very good."

Lu Zan's answer was brief, which made people feel a little perfunctory.

Although the Queen Mother was not satisfied with his answer, she could only endure it and continued: "Emperor, Birou is the savior of the Ai family. Without Birou, the Ai family would not be able to return to the capital safely. The Ai family agreed. Birou, if you want to give her a position, the emperor cannot bring shame on the Ai family."

She had said so, and no matter how unwilling Lu Zan was, he could not disgrace her on this matter.

not to mention……

Lu Zan glanced at Chen Birou's face, which was almost identical to Princess Duan's, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"What position does the Queen Mother think is appropriate for her?" he asked in a casual tone.

"Between the Yi Ai family, at least she must be a concubine to be worthy of Birou." The Queen Mother glanced at Chen Birou and said directly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the concubines screamed in surprise.

"Concubine position? Isn't this too high?"

"That's right, Beauty Chen is the niece of the Queen Mother, and she is a beauty!"

Everyone was talking quietly.

Jing Shu also raised her eyebrows, but she was not optimistic about it.

Sure enough, then, she saw Lu Zan smile lightly.

"Mother, Yuan Zhaoyi is also my savior, but when she was consecrated, she was only a concubine. I am a majestic emperor, and I also treat my savior in a measured way. If my mother asks for a concubine, I am afraid that everyone in the harem will feel bad about it. If you don't accept it, something will happen." Lu Zan said with a cold tone.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face didn't look very good.

It's a pity that she has never been a deterrent to her son, who is the emperor.

Lu Zan's success as emperor was not due to the Queen Mother, but to herself. After all, the Queen Mother's maternal family, the Chen family, and Chen Meiren's father, was only a third-grade minister.

"What about the emperor's wishes?" The Queen Mother had no choice but to ask him instead.

"Since the queen mother insists on letting her enter the palace, then let's take the concubine position. After all, she is the queen mother's savior." Lu Zan said this, but his peach blossom eyes were filled with a slight chill.

"Concubine's position? Is it a bit low?" The Queen Mother frowned, obviously dissatisfied.

When Lu Zan heard this, he looked at her.

Jing Shu lowered her head to hold back her laughter.

She finally understood why Lu Zan didn't like his mother-in-law. There was nothing he said that he liked to hear.

As he just said, his savior was only given the title of concubine.

The Queen Mother opened her mouth and said that the concubine was too low, and her tone was so disgusting. Didn't this clearly mean that Lu Zan was stingy towards his savior?

It would be strange for Lu Zan to be happy.

"Let the concubine be the concubine, but why don't the emperor give Bi Rou a title?" the Queen Mother asked still unwillingly.

"I don't want to think about it." Lu Zan refused directly.

The Queen Mother listened without any shame on her face.

But as the Queen Mother, she really had no real power. She couldn't get any favors from Lu Zan, so she could only endure it.

Concubine Chen is now canonized.

Lu Zan pointed to Chonghua Hall, the main hall of Zhaochun Palace where Zhou Jieyu lived before. Chen Bin was directly the lord of the first palace.

"When the emperor is in the harem from now on, the rain and dew should be equally wet. Tonight is Chen Bin's wedding night. Why don't the emperor go to the Chonghua Palace?" Finally, the Queen Mother requested again.

"I know." Lu Zan frowned, seemed to agree, then stood up and left.

As soon as she left, the Queen Mother immediately waved her hand: "Okay, you all can step aside. Concubine Chen will stay with the Ai family to say a few words."

"In that case, I, my concubine, will retire." The queen stood up and saluted.

The other concubines also bowed and left.

Jingshu walked behind.

Seeing Mei Chen's gloomy expression, he took the initiative to step forward and hold her arm.

"Yuan Zhaoyi." Chen Meiren's smile was a little bitter.

Jingshu took her to the imperial garden to relax.

When they reached a deserted place, Chen Meicai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Jing Shu actually guessed a little bit of what she was thinking, but she still asked.

"My aunt has always disliked me and my father's family. She thinks my father is not motivated enough. The third-grade minister has reached the top, and it is impossible to go up any higher." Chen Meiren said rather unhappily, "When I entered the palace, she I also asked the Holy One for a position, but at that time I just wanted to beg a noble concubine. I didn’t expect that for an outsider, I would ask for the concubine position. It’s true that the older I get, the more confused I become.”

"Could it be that you didn't enter the palace voluntarily?" Jing Shu was a little surprised.

"That's right." Chen Meiren did not deny it. "A large part of the reason why I entered the palace was that my aunt wanted me to enter the palace to help Concubine Xie. At that time, she and Concubine Xie took the eldest prince to Hanshan Temple together, and were worried about leaving. After a long time, there will be someone new around the Holy Emperor, who wants to send me to the palace."

Speaking of this, a hint of sarcastic annoyance appeared on her face, "My father is also a soft-hearted person and listens to my aunt in everything. He actually thought of sending me to the palace. But at that time, I was already discussing marriage. Thank you." In order to accomplish this, the concubine asked people from the Xie family to intercept my marriage, which made me a laughing stock in the capital and forced me to enter the palace.

"She wants me to dote on her? But I don't want her to do as I wish!"

After she said this, Jing Shu finally understood why Chen Meiren never took the initiative to invite favors and insisted on confronting Concubine Xie.

Jingshu raised his hand and caressed her shoulder, and sighed: "Even you, the Queen Mother's niece and the Holy Emperor's cousin, can't escape the overwhelming power of the Xie family. I don't know how many other people are also affected by it. The Xie family is bullying like this."

"That's really too much." Beauty Chen said with a touch of sarcasm on her face, "Sister, do you still remember Zhang Zhaoyi?"

"Of course I remember." Jing Shu nodded.

"She was carried into the East Palace because she saved the prince who was still the prince. After that, she was constantly targeted by Concubine Xie, and she soon fell out of favor. However, Concubine Xie was still not satisfied, and later asked Concubine Shen to kill her." Mentioned. Regarding this matter, Chen Meiren's tone was a bit cryptic, "Zhang Zhaoyi and I have known each other since childhood. She treats people very well. In my mind, she treats me better than my own sister."

Hearing these words, Jingshu couldn't help but think of the dead Zheng Liangdi.

She said in a serious tone: "I understand, I once had such a good sister."

Later, this sister was also killed by Concubine Xie.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I saw this Concubine Chen today. She looks too much like Princess Duan, right? Except for the extra mole on her face, they are almost exactly the same." Beauty Chen changed the topic, A look of amazement.

"Oh? Is that true?" Jing Shu pretended to be amazed.

"Really, my aunt wanted her to come to the palace, and your Majesty didn't refuse. I wonder if she thought of Princess Duan." Chen Meiren looked at Jing Shu, "My aunt also seemed to have agreed to go to Concubine Chen's place tonight. Let me see her. It’s not a simple role, what do you plan to do in the future?”

"What to do? Just do whatever you have to do." Jing Shu smiled slightly.

That night, after Lu Zan finished reviewing the memorial, he followed the Queen Mother's wishes and went to Chen Concubine's Chonghua Palace.

However, as soon as they arrived and before they sat down, someone came over in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, Yuan Zhaoyi said that she is not feeling well and wants the Emperor to come over and take a look."

When Lu Zan heard this, he almost couldn't help but curl up his lips.

He quickly straightened his expression, glanced at Chen Bin, looked solemn, and said anxiously: "I'll go see her first."

After saying that, regardless of Chen Bin's attitude, she went straight out of Chonghua Hall.

Chen Bin originally looked gentle.

As soon as he left, his expression immediately changed.

"This Yuan Zhaoyi has gone too far! The Queen Mother said today that tonight is her wedding night, but she still dares to come and intercept her! She really doesn't take the Queen Mother's words to heart at all!" On the side, The palace maid Qian Lu immediately said angrily.

"The important thing is not that she dared to come to intercept her favor, but that the Holy Emperor went immediately as soon as he heard that she was not feeling well." Chen Bin said lightly, glanced at Qian Lu, "Go and get ready, I plan to take a rest."

"Ah? Aren't you waiting for Your Majesty?" Qian Lu asked.

"He won't come tonight." Concubine Chen said, then turned and entered the inner room.

In the Yicui Palace.

When Lu Zan arrived, Jing Shu was taking a bath in the tub.

He came straight in, raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, with a frivolous tone: "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Why did you take a bath?"
