==Chapter 2‌Jieyu==

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and stared at the burned out candle next to the bed in a daze.

An old dream seemed to drag him directly to six years ago.

At that time, he was young and mature, and he refused to give in to her at all. She was in the first year of junior high school, and he was in the fifth year of junior high school. They were **** for tat, and they were incompatible with each other.

I still think that the most indispensable thing is time,

I thought it was natural that Xiniang said her hair would turn gray on the wedding day.

I never imagined that the girl he loved would suffer so much for him from the moment she put on her wedding dress.

His thin lips trembled, as if he wanted to call her name, but couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Yu regretted the loss, but Qin Juan was reborn in regret.

Listening to the erratic breathing around her, she could tell at once that she and he had had the same dream three times.

After all, she had gone through **** once. Even though she had suffered many grievances, looking back today, she no longer blamed him.

In fact, she has no right to blame him.

After all, compared with love, the Su family's collusion with the enemy and treason, which resulted in the death of 60,000 soldiers on the battlefield, is the truly unforgivable crime.

‌The world is already his. With his temperament, he has not stripped her of her title of queen, and he is willing to treat her children well. How could he not miss the love between husband and wife?

It's just that this kind of love should be based on the death of people and the peace of government.

When she entered the palace this time, she no longer wanted to get lost and struggle in the deep palace. She just wanted to be a ruler and minister with him again and bring up Yun'er well.

The concubine is right. If she wants to raise a prince, she still needs to be pampered.

After a long moment of silence, Qin Juan touched his shoulder with her thin white fingers and said softly: "Your Majesty is still going to court today, it's time to get up."

Xiao Yu's thoughts returned instantly, his Adam's apple moved slightly, he said "Hmm" and sat up.

Qin Wen went to the ground with her shoes on, holding ten pieces of uniform in her hand, and asked softly as before: "I, my concubine, please change your clothes for your majesty."

Xiao Yu stared at her, but instead of refusing as usual, he stood up and walked to her, opening his arms.

Qin Jing was startled for a moment, then she carefully helped him change his clothes, tie the crown and jade belt, and finally caressed the mid laner Qing Yuan. She had done the same thing countless times, but now she felt particularly clumsy. .

Xiao Yu looked at her panicked fingertips with a dark expression, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

Qin Juan followed him and watched him leave.

The autumn colors are beautiful today.

Xiao Yu walked towards the Gate of Supreme Harmony. His black dragon-patterned robe looked impressive against the red wall, just like when he woke up one morning in his memory and the sky turned blue.

"Sheng Kanghai." Xiao Yu said.

Eunuch Sheng followed the emperor slowly and said with a smile: "I'm here, my slave."

"‌Chang Ning sent a letter telling the truth and asking her to come back immediately."

Eunuch Sheng nodded and said, "I understand."

Xiao Yu paused for a moment and then said: "I will pass on my oral instructions again to the Ministry of Taoism and Etiquette. The beauty of Qin will obey the etiquette and know the etiquette. She will bow chastly and quietly. She will be named Jieyu of the fourth rank and move into the main hall of Jingyang Palace on a selected day."

A sixth-grade beauty is conferred the title of fourth-grade Jieyu, ‌... This is a reward for leapfrogging.

Eunuch Sheng was startled, thinking about the connection between the two holy edicts, and immediately said: "I just ordered you to go ahead."

After the Ministry of Rites prepared a record, Eunuch Sheng sent the imperial edict of canonization to Jinlanyuan.

Then Wang Fusheng, the **** in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, came again.

‌The smile on Wang Gonggong's face was much more flattering than when Qin Juan first entered the palace.

"Slave, Jieyu, please greet me." The prince said in a fair manner.

The prince took a list from the painting tray, held it up with both hands and said: "This is the list of quotations for our Jingyang Palace. If there is not enough room, just tell me, and I will make it right away." ‌Send it to you."

"My father-in-law is too polite." Qin Juan said with a smile.

"It should, it should." Wang Gonggong said again: "The beautiful female **** who was assigned last time is still available? If not, I will replace you this afternoon."

Qin Huan said: "It's all still useful, it's all at public expense."

After Wang Fusheng left, Qin Juan slowly opened the brief list of cases——

Four-grade Jieyu:

The annual salary is four hundred silver, and the utensils used are silver; the color of the porcelain is blue and yellow dragon, and the number of umbrellas, fans, and ice is half more.

Two sticks of white wax, two sticks of yellow wax, and four sticks of mutton wax.

She finally didn't have to calculate all day long.

The news that Qin Meiren was promoted to Qin Jieyu was like a wisp of smoke on the battlefield. With the wolf smoke, the expressions of all the palaces changed.

‌The harem has always been like this. Anyone who falls out of favor or makes a mistake is treated as a joke by everyone.

But if you are favored, that will be different.

Taifei Sun was well aware of all the palaces in her body. Now she was frequently calling Qin Juan to Shou'an Palace, and the emperor followed suit. It was obvious that she was preparing to hand over the eldest prince to Qin Juan to raise him.

It is no small matter that there is only one person in the harem.

Concubine Xue slapped her palm on the table and said sternly: "Didn't I say that His Majesty disliked her? Why did she get promoted?"

Chang Ge bowed and said: "My queen, please calm down. In the past two days, Miss Qin really didn't seem to be favored. I don't know what's going on today?"

"I don't know what's going on?" Concubine Xue said angrily.

Chang Ge immediately knelt down and said: "In this case, we might as well do something. The Queen's orders are all, and there is nothing I can't do but obey."

"What should we do?" Concubine Xue let out a "ho" and said: "Are you stupid that Qin Jieyu? As soon as she entered the palace, I asked her to copy the scriptures. She knew full well that I meant to make things difficult, but my manners are so good that I can't make any mistakes. Tell me what you can do to make her take the bait?"

Changge's legs trembled.

Concubine Xue took two breaths and said: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

‌She was not the only one who couldn't sit still in the deep palace courtyard.

****

The next day is the Wanshou Festival.

Since the treasury of the Zhou Dynasty was still not full, the emperor requested that everything be simplified during the Wanshou Festival. To this end, neither the Ministry of Rites nor the Ministry of Households had any objections.

Early in the morning, Lu Ze, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, led his men to stand on both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Luan Yiwei followed him in front of the hall, driving and walking.

After entertaining all the civil and military officials, the family dinner begins.

Everyone from the Sixth Palace of the East and West has arrived today.

Everyone is having a feast, sitting on the floor. There are many delicacies placed on the table, including a plate of beef leg, a plate of leg of lamb, a plate of mandarin fish and a plate of fruit.

According to Qin Juan’s rank, she was just next to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at her with a complicated expression, but still whispered, "Congratulations to Qin Jieyu."

Qin Chan said: "Thank you, empress."

She was just a beauty two days ago, but today she has transformed into Jieyu. If anyone is the most uncomfortable person, it is actually not the third concubine in the palace, but the charming He Shuyi and Xu Shuyi who are tidying up on the side.

‌The two of them came from a good family and were very beautiful. To be honest, they didn't take Qin Juan seriously at all.

Especially for Xu Shuyi, her father told her that the emperor was promoting a poor family and he valued the Xu family very much, so he sent her to the palace for the sake of the queen and the position of his majesty's first wife.

But let’s not talk about the legal wife now.

The emperor has not even been to her palace.

She specially wore a peach-pink long skirt with a low collar and wide sleeves today, and she didn't see the person in the palace looking at her twice.

Everyone knows that serving people with **** will not last long, but if you can't even attract people with your skin, then what will happen in the future.

Xu Shuyi clenched her fists.

Young people are like this. They think they hide their unwillingness very well, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Concubine, it couldn't be more obvious.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Since today is a family banquet, everyone should not be restrained. I heard from people in the Shangyi Bureau that Xu Shuyi has prepared a dance for His Majesty, and the Ai family is also looking forward to it."

Xu Shuyi's face turned red, she stood up and said, "I'm not good at dancing, I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed today."

This is something I would never dare to say if I don’t have dancing skills for a long time.

Xu Shuyi came to the center of the hall, and with the sound of music, she seemed to have changed into a different person.

Although Xu Shuyi's wide-sleeved robe is made of satin, the waist is made of thin gauze. The posture of bending down and fluttering the sleeves makes even women take a second look.

The beautiful eyes are full of emotion, and she really seduces the emperor.

With such a style, even that emperor would try to copy her tonight.

But Xiao Yu would glance at Qin Huan from time to time. To be precise, he would look at the fish on her table.

Qin Yanli knew what was going on, but others did not.

The emperor's probing gaze turned into a brow coming and going in full view of everyone.

Even the Queen Mother noticed something was wrong.

‌The look in his eyes is really different from looking at others.

Is it possible that the emperor likes this face? Can't control yourself when you see a face?

At the end of the song, everyone saw that the emperor's interest was with Qin Jieyu instead of the dance, and they couldn't help but look at Xu Shuyi with a little more sarcasm.

Concubine Liu spoke slowly: "Sister Xu, for her good dancing skills, it would be too modest to say that she is not superb."

Xu Shuyi's ears turned slightly red and she said: "I have only studied for two years, and it is indeed far from perfect."

Concubine Liu said "Huh" rather speechlessly, and said: "It takes only two years... That Xu Shuyi is really smart and talented."

Concubine Liu is the daughter of the chief minister of the cabinet. Although she has a distinguished family background, her beauty is the most ordinary in the harem. Now that she is in her prime, she cannot see many young and beautiful girls.

Xu Shuyi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and then said after a moment: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam."

The Queen Mother smoothed things over and said, "Well, the Ai family also thinks Xu Shuyi dances well. What does the Emperor think?"

For a moment, Xiao Yu seemed to be no different from a man in the world of mortals. He smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good too."

‌As soon as the man spoke, Xu Shuyi immediately blushed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu tilted his head and said to Duke Sheng, "Reward."

After Xu Shuyi sat down, the Queen Mother looked at Qin Jie and said, "I wonder what gifts Qin Jieyu has prepared?"

Qin Wei stood up and said softly: "My concubine's dancing skills are not as good as Xu Shuyi's, so I prepared a painting."

The Queen Mother said: "Come and take a look."

Qin Juan handed the painting to the two young eunuchs.

The scroll unfolds slowly, showing a decent picture of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Queen Mother tilted her head and said to the concubine: "The concubine thought she was painting, how was the painting?"

The concubine said softly: "The brushwork is deft and graceful. It is a masterpiece of landscape painting."

After saying that, the concubine started coughing.

One voice after another, anyone who listens to it can't help but feel worried. The deadline has come.

Nanny Yuan hurriedly held a bowl of soup, walked around from behind, and whispered: "Be careful, Princess."

At this moment, the small yellow door outside suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Changning has arrived!"

Xiao Yu said: "Let her in quickly."

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to the entrance of the palace.

The eldest princess Changning, Xiao Lianyu, was the late emperor’s most beloved daughter.

Wearing a turquoise-green satin coat with gold intertwining patterns and a moon-white fairy skirt, she walked toward the center of the hall on lotus steps. Even though his face looked a little haggard and he had lost a lot of weight, his crooked almond-shaped eyes were still as bright as pearls.

"Chang Ning wishes your majesty good health." Chang Ning gave a big salute.

"No courtesy." Xiao Yu said.

No one expected that Princess Changning would come tonight. When they were shocked, the little prince in the concubine’s arms suddenly whispered: "Yes, aunt?"
