"Imperial Concubine? No!" The Empress Dowager was taken aback for a moment, and then felt something was wrong.

Jiang Xinyue is just the second-in-law daughter of the prefect of Jiangzhou, and this second-in-law daughter is also wet. Her mother was no more than a concubine and died when she gave birth to a daughter. Jiang Xinyue was remembered under the name of the mistress.

She had inquired before, and considering the emptiness of the harem, she wanted to be named a concubine. This is already a great honor, how can she get the position of noble concubine!

"Queen Mother..." Jiang Xinyue looked at her in disbelief. She had clearly favored her just now, but now she took the lead in opposing her.

The queen mother patted her hand, and said grandly: "It's not so easy to be promoted to a high position. The higher you lift, the harder you fall. It's better to start with talents."

Afterwards, she said to the emperor: "Jiang's family is full of quality and heart, and has both talent and appearance. How about making a talented person, Your Majesty?"

Jing Guhan nodded, his cold eyes slid across Zhong Yanyu's white and tender face, only to find that the young man was looking at him with a smile on his face.

He was suddenly speechless...

Even though it was cold winter, the young man only wore some thin clothes, white brocade clothes, embroidered with gold silk, which fit perfectly with loose inside and tight outside. His eyes were beautiful, his eyes were affectionate, and his face was like a peach petal.

His eyes fell on each other, they have not been tender for many days.

But he still remembered the tenderness and delicateness from a long time ago, the young man wrapped his waist tightly and made a broken sound, and the corners of his eyes were red.

But now that person is close in front of his eyes, it seems like a world is separated between them.

"emperor?"

Zhong Yanyu maintained a dignified posture, her eyes fell on Jing Guhan, as if urging, "I don't know what the emperor means?"

Jing Guhan's eyelashes drooped, "Just follow what the queen mother said."

Zhong Yanyu felt bitter in her heart, just like in her previous life.

But this time he won't sit still—

Perhaps it was because he did not object to Jiang Xinyue's entry into the palace, and because of the draft, the relationship between the queen mother and him eased, so the three had a rare lunch at the Palace of Compassion.

As a talented person, Jiang Xinyue was not qualified to serve at the table, so she served on the sidelines.

Jing Guhan was busy with government affairs, and after finishing the meal with the queen mother, he resigned and left, but he couldn't help looking at Zhong Yanyu, expecting what the other party would say.

Zhong Yanyu met his gaze and felt her heart was in a panic.

To whom would you show such love?

The talented person he brought back is still watching. Didn't the old favor turn into mosquito blood in the end?

Jing Guhan married him, and although he had a good impression of him for many years, it was more for the power of the marshal of the country and to stabilize his throne.

The young man said nothing, the smile on his face was empty and pale, Jing Guhan pursed his lips.

Why pretend to be happy?

Respectfully sending people away, Zhong Yanyu looked back at Jiang Xinyue who was beside her, "The palace is suffering from wind and cold these days, so I hope sister Jiang can take care of the emperor more."

"The concubine naturally lives up to expectations." A gleam of joy flashed across Jiang Xinyue's eyes.

Doesn't Zhong Yanyu's words mean that she will not be able to serve the emperor in the near future, this is her chance.

"It's hard work sister."

After all, he has just entered the palace not long ago, and has no plans for a few years later, after Zhong Yanyu finished speaking, his eyes fell on the Queen Mother.

"Empress, I will trouble the nuns for the selection. If there are other matters, please send your sons and servants to follow the maids."

After hearing the words, the Queen Mother stared closely at Zhong Yanyu, trying to find a trace of reluctance on his face, but found that the young man in front of her was upright, with a dignified demeanor.

"Since the empress is not feeling well, we should leave the matter of the draft to Nanny Lin. When the late emperor was in power, Nanny Lin was also in charge of several drafts."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your understanding, and I thank you, my son." Zhong Yanyu saluted.

"Okay, you're tired too, go down and rest." The queen mother didn't bother to talk to him, and now the most urgent task is to confirm the draft list.

For the sake of the emperor's heir, even if it was a trap, she jumped into it.

"My son bids farewell to the queen mother." Zhong Yanyu led the people back out.

Inside the palace, only Jiang Xinyue was left with an uneasy face.

"Jiang Cairen should go down too, and serve the emperor well during this time." The queen mother glanced at her, since she was able to be drafted, Jiang Xinyue's identity and appearance were not enough.

Jiang Xinyue also knew this, and retreated slightly sadly. When the queen mother proposed to make her a concubine, she was secretly excited, and when the queen later proposed to be a noble concubine, she was even more excited.

Unexpectedly, the one who was finally confirmed was actually a talented person, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The palace lady was sent by the queen mother to serve Jiang Xinyue. Seeing her thoughts, she said: "Master, don't worry, the queen is sick. You are the only one serving the emperor in the harem. If you conceive an heir within the next ten days , isn't the mother more valuable than the child?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Xinyue lifted her spirits again, thinking that today was the first night of bedtime service, she couldn't help but blush.

Although she stayed in the imperial tent during the winter hunting, nothing happened between the two of them, and she is still innocent now...

Cairen does not have a palace, but lives in a side courtyard, but the Queen Mother Gu Nian was the first to be included in the harem, and her food and clothing costs are beyond the scope of Cairen.

Jiang Xinyue also seized the opportunity, dressed up a bit, and waited for the eunuch to pick her up at night to serve in Qianqing Palace.

……

When Zhong Yanyu returned to Kunning Palace, the first thing he did was to ask Liu Qingxuan's imperial doctor Liu Zhi to see a doctor for him.

Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in navy blue came in and put a silk handkerchief on Zhong Yanyu's hand to feel his pulse.

Zhong Yanyu gave Liu Qing a wink, leaving everyone behind, leaving only his confidantes.

Liu Zhi's eyelids twitched, and he instantly knew that the visitor was not good.

After inquiring about the situation, he put down his hand to feel the pulse, and saluted respectfully, "Report to Madam, everything is normal, and the wind and cold have disappeared."

Zhong Yanyu poured two cups of tea by himself, "Master Liu has worked hard, drink some ginger tea to warm your body."

Liu Zhi lowered his head, not daring to take the tea, "The queen's words are serious, and the responsibility of the humble minister is, so I dare not take credit."

Zhong Yanyu lowered her eyes and smiled, raised her chin, and said lightly: "I have been suffering from wind and cold for more than a month, and with the heavy snow in Kyoto, I haven't recovered for a long time, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to recover in the future. I need to be careful and take medicine regularly. , I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait for bed."

"Your Majesty, worry too much, this disease is already cured." Liu Zhi's head was lowered even lower to the ground, not daring to look at Zhong Yanyu again.

Beauty is poisonous, if it is not done well, it will kill him!

Zhong Yanyu drank tea slowly, not in a hurry, and chatted with Liu Zhi while drinking tea, "I remember Master Liu is from Suzhou, right?"

"Return to the Empress, a humble minister from Anxian County, Suzhou."

Zhong Yanyu took out a jade pendant and looked at it, "I heard that Lord Liu's parents died, and no relatives are alive. Recently, the Zhongfu rescued a woman who called herself Liu Mei, and said she was Lord Liu's younger sister."

The young man laughed when he said this, "I said, why does Master Liu still have a younger sister? She must be a liar, so she wanted to send her to the government. Who would have thought that woman still has a token, Master Liu, take a look, do you know her?"
