After the first assistant's wife is reborn

Cui Xin paused, hey, sure enough, he really had this little thought of not being seen by others.

This is treating the emperor as the first emperor, thinking that every man should have pity on her?
Leaving aside human relations, favoring the late emperor's concubines?
With a slight snort in my heart, I said to the woman lying on the ground: "As a concubine, you don't need to call me a 'slave', because your status is not suitable."

He Ling was at a loss for words, and immediately kowtowed: "I know that your mother is magnanimous and kind-hearted, please forgive me..."

She couldn't speak, and she fell to the ground, holding her face and weeping bitterly, crying about her miserable life experience and misfortune.Thinking that she was superior to others in everything in the boudoir, she thought that she was favored by the emperor, so she jumped onto the branch, but her fate was unlucky, and she fell into the dust in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of this, her tears flowed down like a flood that burst a bank.

"Concubine He, I have no right to give you an exception. This is an ancestral system and a rule." Cui Xin didn't look at her either. Tears don't stop, they just flow more and more. She is still young and has a long time to live. Life to experience slowly.

Afterwards, not wanting to look at her again, she raised her head and said in a low voice, "Come here, send Concubine He away!"

As soon as the words fell, several palace officials dragged her out swiftly, leaving her wailing in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty."

"Hey—" Cui Xin sighed.

It's really pitiful for a young girl in her prime to be sent to the Taimiao just like that.

It's just that poor people must have something to hate!
······
The golden crow is falling to the west, the jade rabbit is just rising, the evening breeze is gently blowing, and the fragrance of plum blossoms from the distant courtyard seems to be absent.

The lanterns in various parts of the palace were lit up one by one, and the whole palace was wrapped in a hazy light.

Chen Xiao came to Kunning Palace under the guard of a group of guards under the moonlight.

Yuan Bao with a lantern came to the gate of Kunning Palace and shouted: "The emperor is here!"

No matter what they were doing in Kunning Palace, they immediately put down what they were doing and knelt on both sides of the gate. When Chen Ling came in, the palace people kneeling on the ground bowed down and shouted three times: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Cui Xin hurriedly went forward, and was about to bend down and kneel down, when Chen Xiao stretched out his arms to support her slender waist: "Zi Tong, you don't need to be polite."

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Xiao helped Cui Xin up, and saw that when she was in Beirong, every time she saw him return to the commander's mansion in Yuezhou from the border, her smile was like a flower, and the expression of joy was gone.

It was replaced by a cautious smile.

Chen Xiao felt inexplicably uncomfortable after watching it.

"Your Majesty, have you had dinner yet?" Cui Xin asked softly.

Chen Xiao sat on the carved nanmu grand master's chair with a piece of emerald green jade inlaid in the middle, and squeezed the space between her eyebrows: "Not yet."

As soon as Cui Xin heard this, she immediately told Madam Zhu beside her, "Hurry up and set the meal."

"Yes, I'm going right now, old slave." Mammy Zhu greeted the empress who was sitting high above her head, and left in a low voice.

Afterwards, Cui Xin personally poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Xiao and handed it to him: "Your Majesty, let's have a sip of tea first."

"Xin'er, choose a concubine in three days, you have to check it out for me." Chen Ling took the pastel porcelain cup, not only wanting to see her show generosity, but also faintly wanting to see her out of control and chapped.

It's no wonder Chen Ling spoke so directly, he seldom tried to figure out women's hearts, and seldom paid attention to them.

He didn't accept a side concubine before, but he just thought it was unnecessary. Although his main concubine's appearance was not first-class beauty, in his eyes, everything was what he wanted.

Why bother to marry those women who are noisy and jealous when they come back, so there is no peace.

Besides, he still has lofty ambitions, and he has unfinished business, so how can he indulge in his children's personal relationship to waste his fighting spirit?
But, now it is imperative.

If you don't choose a concubine, those courtiers are too verbose, and they keep playing for the selection of concubines.

In particular, Gao Jingwei, who has no real power and only has an empty British public name, is the most active, jumping up and down.

What an annoyance!

"Yes, the concubine obeys the order." Cui Xin restrained her expression and said seriously.

Afterwards, Cui Xin asked cautiously: "Then... what does the emperor think?"

Chen Xiao glanced sideways and asked, "What's the queen thinking?"

How dare Cui Xin tell the truth: My concubine doesn't want you to choose a concubine, is it okay?
I can only suppress the sourness, showing a virtuous appearance, and said in a gentle voice: "The concubine listens to the emperor's wishes, so no matter what the emperor decides, the concubine can accept it."

Chen Xiaoxuan looked at her, and said quite casually: "I don't want intrigue in the harem, and the woman I choose must be gentle and virtuous. Empress, you can figure it out."

cut!
How is it possible?

Not to mention the harem, in order to compete for favor, isn't that woman full of scheming and intrigues?
Even the wives and concubines in the back houses of ordinary officials and eunuchs always make troubles for the sake of favor and profit.

Cui Xin slandered in his heart, but with a decent smile on his face, he said sincerely: "Should we choose women who are gentle and generous, beautiful and virtuous, and able to balance the power of their natal families as concubines?"

Chen Xiao didn't speak, but looked at Cui Xin who was talking and laughing with a very complicated expression.

Cui Xin saw Chen Xiao staring at her with deep eyes and just looked at her without saying a word. Needless to say, this was the expression before she got angry.

It's just that she didn't say anything inappropriate?

Is it all according to what he said?

Oh yes.

What I just said was misunderstood.Make him think he is jealous.

The reason is that I am not gentle and generous enough, let alone beautiful and virtuous.

Yes, I am indeed jealous.

I wish I could go back to the past, back to Beirong
Still be his own princess, not a queen who helps him manage the women in the harem!

When he came back to his senses, Cui Xin looked uneasy: "Your Majesty?"

For some reason, Chen Ling's expression suddenly turned ugly. Looking at her, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He should be satisfied with her generosity.

Chen Xiao has never been a love brain, that's why even if he loves Cui Xin, he won't really be able to defend her like a jade.

Because the harem is not just the harem, every concubine in the harem represents the power of each family.

Many courtiers are already upset about favoring Cui Xin. If it is a true favorite, the new official will take office three times, and the new emperor may not be enough to suppress the doubts of the major families.

It's just that the draft can't be mixed, it has to be respectful and virtuous.

On the other hand, his lustful old father and the countless women in the harem, the first emperor was not a long-term lover, he fell in love with each other.

The once beloved women and children all fell to a tragic end because of the late emperor's high profile.

Therefore, the reason why Chen Xiao chose his concubine was to balance the power of the previous dynasty, to prolong the succession of the heirs, and to respect the emperor
There must be at least ten or eight concubines in the harem.

However, there are gains and losses, and Chen Xiao will also pay the price for his self-righteousness in the future.
