Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics
Chapter 6: Mo Mei is jealous, but he plays into his own ambitions
The hint of crab-shell green on the horizon gradually disappeared, and a group of auspicious beasts led by the Phoenix Riding Immortal on the roof were quietly dormant in the glow.
In order to rush to Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, Shen Yao was awakened by Chun Nong early in the morning.
She lightly swept her eyebrows and wore an emerald-colored skirt embroidered with roses. The spring dress was elegant but not too gorgeous.
After entering the Cining Palace, Shen Yao greeted the Queen Mother as usual. Then they sat on the red sandalwood armchairs under the Queen Mother's phoenix throne.
Fu Zhaoyi and Lin Meiren sat next to her in turn.
When Bai Wanzhu arrived at Cining Palace, she always sat opposite Shen Yao, but today it was empty.
The concubines of the whole palace gathered together, mouthing flattering and auspicious words. Cining Palace was naturally buzzing with activity and it was very lively.
"Mother Qin, go see why Wan Zhu'er hasn't come over yet. Spring and summer have changed over the past few days, maybe she caught a cold."
The Queen Mother walked around the palace with her phoenix eyes and asked earnestly.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know something."
Nanny Qin happily clasped her hands in front of her chest and reported back to the Queen Mother, "Yesterday, His Majesty gave Bai Jieyu the Night Pearl. For this reason, he also changed the rules for concubines to wait for the green-headed cards."
"His Majesty said that it is too tacky to turn over the green card. From now on, he will give a luminous pearl to anyone he wants to accompany him."
"Last night was the first time that Jieyu went to bed, and Yuemo hasn't gotten up yet."
After Nanny Qin finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in Cining Palace.
Everyone thought that Bai Jieyu's honor was as high as heaven.
But Shen Yao disapproved and sneered in her heart, Lu Lingchuan is getting better and better at playing now.
Of course, no matter how dismissive he was, there was still a decent and calm smile on Shen Yao's face.
"Alas, the emperor handled matters clearly in his previous dynasty. This matter of changing the ancestral rules is too nonsense after all."
Despite what the Queen Mother said, her unsmiling face was rare and gentle.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Wanzhu was supported by two palace servants and walked into the palace gate.
Today she is different from the past, her hair is full of pearls, she is wearing a light blue moon dress with magnolia flowers all over the ground, her eyes are charming, her face is flushed, and she has a charming attitude that is invincible.
As soon as she stepped across the threshold, she called out to the Queen Mother from afar, "Auntie."
"You Wan Zhu'er, what time has it been now and you're still too lazy to sleep! You've forgotten all the family traditions of your ancestors."
Although the Queen Mother was complaining, everyone could see that she was satisfied with Bai Wanzhu at this time.
"Aunt, it's not Wan Zhuer's fault, it's all my cousin's fault."
After Bai Wanzhu finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Yao proudly, and then lowered her face shyly.
She said in a low voice, "Besides, Wanzhu only slept half an hour longer than usual today. In the past, when the imperial concubine and sister stayed in bed, she would sleep on the dragon couch until three o'clock in the morning."
"Not only that, the imperial concubine's sister would sometimes pester her cousin during her lunch break. Wanzhu remembered that there seemed to be a censor impeaching her last month."
A good move diverted trouble to the east, and the original harmonious atmosphere in Cining Palace disappeared.
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Yao calmly.
Then he looked at her with phoenix eyes and said coldly to her,——
"My concubine, you are so charming and charming, why don't you kneel down to the Ai family!"
Shen Yao stood up, knelt down in the middle of the main hall with her skirt straight up.
I knelt for a long time but didn't hear a cry. She raised her eyes slightly and carefully took a peek at the Queen Mother's face.
The Queen Mother's indifference carried an aura of calmness and dignity.
She said bitterly, "Concubine Shen, the Ai family will punish you by kneeling for an hour today."
Since the Queen Mother gave the order, Shen Yao could only kneel silently.
In the previous life, every time she was jealous and had a heated argument with the emperor, the nun next to the Queen Mother would send a message to her to kneel down and think about her fault.
But now she has clearly given way to others.
Today, with Bai Wanzhu's provocative words, the relationship that had been eased between Shen Yao and the Queen Mother was now in danger.
Forget it.
She endured it.
Shen Yao didn't argue for herself.
It's not bad to just survive. Why bother with the eggs hitting the rocks!
The Queen Mother sat on the rose chair, sipping tea leisurely without even raising her eyelids.
But he was lecturing Shen Yao, "Noble Concubine, don't think that the Ai family is punishing you today just because you like to have a bad temper and get jealous with the emperor at every turn."
"You have been in the palace for five years and have received so much favor, but you have not given birth to a son or a daughter for my royal family. This is a sin."
"Why did the emperor leave your Zichen Palace in anger a few days ago? As a concubine, it is the second crime not to relieve the king's worries and to frequently disobey the emperor."
After being scolded, Shen Yao knelt obediently, not even daring to rub her sore waist.
Yesterday, when Lu Lingchuan walked away, she couldn't sleep well, and her eyebrows kept twitching.
Sure enough, this dog emperor was incompatible with her.
No matter how angry and unjust she felt, Shen Yao admitted her mistake obediently.
"The Empress Dowager has taught you a lesson. I have served Your Majesty for many years and have not been able to have a son. I feel deeply ashamed. Now, the flowers in this palace are blooming. I can also create children for the Royal Family."
Seeing Shen Yao being punished now, Bai Wanzhu would not easily let go of the opportunity to step on Concubine Shen.
"Aunt, the imperial concubine is very generous now. I was serving my cousin yesterday, but I didn't see her coming to Xingning Palace to cause trouble. Although she made a mistake, please ask my aunt for a small punishment or a big warning. If the punishment continues, My cousin feels very sad."
The emperor summoned Bai Wanzhu to his bed last night, and today she wanted to walk around the Sixth Palace to let everyone know that she had accepted the favor.
"Wan Zhu'er from the Ai family is still sensible. Your cousin summoned you last night, so he hasn't given you a reward yet."
The Queen Mother turned to Bai Wanzhu with a loving look on her face and paid no attention to Shen Yao who was still kneeling.
"My cousin has a lot of things to do, and Wanzhu doesn't want any reward from him. She just wants to spend more time with him and be a interpretive flower beside him."
Bai Wanzhu was very shy and said coyly. A pair of charming eyes glanced at Shen Yao from time to time.
"The royal family has always made clear rewards and punishments. If you are so sensible, there is no reason for your aunt to feel distressed."
Shen Yao couldn't stand listening to the flattery between the Queen Mother and Bai Wanzhu.
"Since my aunt asked me what reward I wanted, Wanzhu spoke boldly."
"Aunt, I think Concubine Shen's Zichen Palace is very nice. It only takes half a cup of tea to walk from my cousin's Xingning Palace and Qinzheng Palace."
Bai Wanzhu knelt down slowly, "Aunt, in order to take better care of my cousin, I am bold and want to change palaces with Concubine Shen."
As the Queen Mother's niece and the Emperor's cousin, she now has the honor and favor, and she also regards herself as a phoenix on a high branch.
As soon as Bai Wanzhu said this, there was silence in Cining Palace.
None of the concubines spoke, some looked gloating, while others lowered their heads and sighed secretly.
"Oh, Wan Zhu'er is interested. What does Concubine Shen think of this proposal to change palaces?"
The Queen Mother was indeed a fox with thousands of years of experience. Instead of scolding Bai Wanzhu for her rudeness, she asked Shen Yao for her opinion.
In the previous life, Bai Wanzhu also had the idea of living in Zichen Palace.
How did Shen Yao do it?
She was so powerful. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed up to Bai Wanzhu and slapped Bai Wanzhu twice in front of the Queen Mother.
The beating caused Bai Wanzhu to stagger, fall to the ground and cry loudly.
Shen Yao was originally a noble concubine running rampant in the Sixth Palace, so she didn't care if she did one more evil deed.
Although Lu Lingchuan protected her, he also knelt for an hour in front of the ancestral tablet in the Fengxian Hall.
It turns out that he was punished for no reason in this life in order to repay the kindness of Lu Lingchuan in his previous life.
When Shen Yao came back to life, she had already understood that taking a step back would lead to a brighter future.
In her previous life, the queen was weak. She was a favored concubine, and Bai Wanzhu was the niece of the queen mother. If something happened to the queen one day, they would both be strong candidates to succeed her. As a result, Shen Yao and Bai Wanzhu had a bloody fight.
What she is fighting for is not the position of queen. Because what she wanted most deep down in her heart was the name of Lu Lingchuan's wife.
Since she had made a mistake in her previous life, she was no longer willing to compete for favor in this life. She only wanted to hide from Lu Lingchuan.
This proposal to change palaces is exactly what Shen Yao wants.
She supported her sore and shaky waist and said loudly.
"The Queen Mother, Shen Yao is willing to give up Zichen Palace to Bai Jieyu."
"Concubine, are you really willing?"
Seeing Shen Yao nodding, the Queen Mother ordered, "Tai'an, go and invite the emperor over. Let him also listen to the noble concubine's heartfelt words. The Ai family will not make the decision on the palace change, let the emperor make his own decision."
