Chapter 192 The Poor Man
Spring goes and autumn comes, another three years.

She and Xie Zhuo took care of the group of forces that attacked Xie's family and her aunt back then, and now Xie Zhuo is the leader of a hundred officials under one person and above ten thousand.

"I heard that His Majesty sent the rare night pearl to the Lingxi Palace, and the concubine sister really won the holy favor, which is beyond our reach."

The person who spoke was a young girl who entered the palace only after being drafted this year.

Cui Ming raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, but didn't speak.

Three years in the world under the influence of power, Cui Ming is not angry but powerful.

The girl seemed to be intimidated by her look, so she closed her mouth resentfully, but her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Your Majesty, this empress has a very good reputation outside the world, she is graceful, dignified and calm, and she has never done anything wrong in the three years she has been the empress.

Before she entered the palace, she often heard her father boast that the Nanyue Kingdom was blessed to have such a good queen.

But now that she has entered the palace, she doesn't think so. Although the empress is quite virtuous and generous, she is too cold and calm.

His Majesty has been on the throne for three years, and the harem is full of fat, swallows and thin, unrecognizable. The elder sister who lived with her in the same palace is an old man who entered the mansion before His Majesty took the throne.

She had heard her say a few days ago that harem battles should never be provoked in front of the queen.

Because the queen has always turned a blind eye to these concubines competing for favor, she is too lazy to care about it but she doesn't like these people making too much noise and annoying her.

In fact, she didn't quite understand whether the Empress really didn't mind who Her Majesty favored, or everything was hidden under her calm face.

"If my younger sister likes it, I will give it to my younger sister." The imperial concubine said softly.

She was the woman who was lucky enough to save His Majesty and was named a noble concubine by His Majesty's side and pampered her for three years.

She curled her lips, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, "I don't have the guts to ask for something that Your Majesty bestowed on the concubine's sister. I just think that this fine night pearl should match the grace and generosity of the empress." .”

She is just a divorced woman, to be favored by His Majesty is already a blessing she has cultivated in several lifetimes.

Her father was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and she didn't need to bow down in front of such a powerless concubine.

What's more, it was widely rumored that this noble concubine doted on the harem, but according to what has been heard in the past few days since she entered the palace, since His Majesty took the throne for three years, no matter who is favored, he has never surpassed the queen.

It's unknown if she really loves the sixth palace, but she really thinks she likes a pearl of the night.

The corners of Cui Ming's mouth twitched, this girl is really a tiger, she has already learned how to kill with a knife after only entering the palace.

But if this kind of thing is fought by others, if she is interested, she can still watch the excitement, but it will not be so wonderful if it is brought up on her head.

Cui Ming glanced at her indifferently, and said lightly: "Since it is a gift from His Majesty to the concubine's younger sister, there is no reason to give it to someone else. The concubine's younger sister should just keep it."

"Elder Sister Empress said so." The noble concubine gave Cui Ming a soft and feeble look, and her eyes aroused pity for no reason.

Cui Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is indeed Li Xiuqi who braved the courtiers' opposition to the canonization of a noble concubine and doted on someone for so many years, she looked like a woman and couldn't help wanting to pamper her, let alone a man.

It was only after she entered the palace that she realized that she had shown some kindness to the seventh prince when she was a child, and the seventh prince who lacked love since childhood has never forgotten him ever since.

After she reconciled and divorced, she even hid her in her own courtyard. After ascending the throne, she couldn't wait to find an excuse to make her a noble concubine, and her honor and favor continued for the next three years.

"It just so happens that there is a fine night pearl in my private treasury, Xiangyun, you go and get it and give it to this younger sister."

"Empress, concubine doesn't mean that. Since it's your concubine's favorite thing, I don't want to take it from others." The concubine put away her posture and pretended to be cute.

Cui Ming pressed his forehead impatiently, "It's not really a beloved thing, it's just that there happens to be such a night pearl. If my sister likes it, I'll give it to my sister."

"The concubine thanks the empress for the reward."

When she opened her mouth without any doubt, the concubine nodded quickly, not seeing the arrogant look just now.

"That's the end of today's greetings, all sisters, please go back, I'm a bit tired."

"Now that it's severe winter, sisters don't have to brave the wind and snow to pay their respects in the next month."

Cui Ming just wanted to quickly find a reason to bring this group of Yingying Yanyan back to his palace.

Who can sit here patiently and listen to their snarky chatter.

"Thank you empress!" All the concubines got up and left.

When everyone was almost gone, Gu Shulan still sat in her seat without moving a bit. Cui Ming yawned boredly and looked at her and asked, "Sister Lan Fei?"

In the harem, apart from her, the empress, and that noble concubine, only Gu Shulan has the highest status. The positions of the women who entered the palace later are very suitable for their family backgrounds, and the highest is only the one who just said nothing. Daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Back then, Wen Hui had already been awarded the title and relegated to the cold palace following the fall of Prime Minister Wen.

Now two years have passed, and the old people in the harem are replaced by new ones, only the new ones laugh, but the old ones cry.

If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Shulan, who was concubine with her back then, was still here, she might have forgotten about this person.

Gu Shulan's father is loyal to the emperor, Li Xiuqi will not treat her badly in the open, there are as many rules as there should be rewards.

However, Gu Shulan could still see her tranquility and indifference with the naked eye, and three years had turned a lively and enthusiastic girl into a lifeless puppet.

The harem is like a hell, only the people on the outside look at the colorful flowers and scramble to rush in, but there are probably few people inside who are willing to stay here.

At least, she didn't want to.

Gu Shulan didn't seem to think about it either, as for what that imperial concubine thought, she didn't know.

"Even if the concubine returns to the palace, she has nothing to do, so she wants to stay here and talk to the queen sister. The queen sister won't be disgusted, right?"

Her status in this harem is indeed not low, the noble concubine conferred by the emperor would not leave the Consonance Palace easily, and it seems that she has no intention of disturbing them, and above her there is only this magnanimous queen left.

But what's the use of that?

Her Lanfeng Palace is like a cold palace, without any vitality.

Cui Ming looked at her quietly, and at some point, she could no longer see the ostentatious appearance from her body.

"As you like."

In the past two years, Gu Shulan has gotten closer to her invisibly, and she seems to have no fighting spirit to fight for favor, so she just stays in her own Lanfeng Palace.

She greeted Li Xiuqi when he went according to the rules, and she didn't seem to complain if he didn't go.

That's all, poor people.
