Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Xie Yun'an's imperial edict was not too formal.

Although this form is called an imperial edict, it can only be regarded as an oral order. The emperor just mentioned it casually and then let the eunuch announce it to the six palaces. After all, it was just an award of a title to a concubine in the harem. As Yao Jinse had no reputation and came from a family of minor officials, she was not qualified to issue an imperial edict in written form to confer a title on her.

In the harem, one must be at least a concubine or above to be lucky enough to enjoy this qualification.

But qualifications are qualifications, and the fact that the emperor personally conferred the title was in itself a sign of favor.

Yao Jinse had been squatting on the ground to salute the moment the emperor opened his mouth. Bai Tan and others at the door also knelt on the ground. She did not feel relieved until Xie Yun'an finished speaking and Hu Shijie left.

Her own title was expected, but the title of princess was unexpected. She didn't expect that Xie Yun'an had not forgotten that he had a daughter living in this palace. Yao Jinse slightly pinched her throat, and her voice became sweet.

Xie Yun'an had seen many women being tender and affectionate, so he was not surprised by the different tone of Yao Jinse's voice.

To him, the so-called two titles were actually a no-cost business. Yao Jinse's status would be raised eventually. When she was conferred the title of concubine, she would have been given this title anyway. Now it was just given in advance, and the same went for the princess.

Xie Yun'an couldn't say that he liked Yao Jinse very much, but he didn't hate her either.

After all, Yao Jinse was always by the side of the Imperial Concubine, and Xie Yun'an knew very well that as long as Chen Yimiao was around, his Imperial Concubine would never let Yao's status be too low. So rather than saying that Yao Jinse deserved the reward for her merits, it would be better to say that she had received an advance payment for some of her future treatment.

Just think of it as trying to please the imperial concubine, but now it seems that Yao does have some talent. Although she is not very proficient in writing, and has no skills in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if there can be a female Lu Ban in the harem and more things that benefit the people, then he, the emperor, will be extraordinary in history books.

Yao Jinse didn't know that her position in Xie Yun'an's heart had changed from a concubine to a craftsman. Naturally, if she knew, she would just accept it with pleasure - compared to being a concubine, working for someone was more within her area of ​​expertise.

The two had little to talk about. Yao Jinse wanted to please but felt uncomfortable. Xie Yun'an still had a lot of government affairs waiting for her. After Yao Jinse expressed her gratitude and said a few words, Xie Yun'an got up and left. After the main person left, Yao Jinse didn't want to stay in the house anymore. It was sunny after the snow outside, so she went to the plum garden to appreciate the red plum blossoms after the snow, which was also a different kind of fun.

It's just not a good time right now.

Going out for fun right after being conferred the title was bound to be seen as showing off, not to mention that tomorrow was the day for paying respects every five days. Yao Jinse was careful not to do so and just asked someone to bring the princess over. She also opened all the windows of the side hall where the princess lived to ventilate the room.

According to the old rules in the palace, children are young and weak, so they are prone to indigestion. They cannot eat too much and cannot be exposed to cold wind. The room was extremely stuffy. Yao Jinse was very aware of the importance of ventilation for such a room. The maids were afraid that the princess would be cold, so they just moved her to another place.

"The emperor has given the princess a new title, so you can rest assured now."

Bai Tao was particularly fond of children, so she left her in the house to play with the princess on the warm kang, and also left a nanny to take care of her. Yao Jinse put on a cloak and stood in the corridor with Bai Tan, watching the palace servants clean the snow in the courtyard.

As she was watching, a young eunuch suddenly ran in. Yao Jinse thought he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember his name. The young eunuch was quite sensible. After greeting, he introduced himself. He was a young eunuch in the Queen's palace. "My Lady Concubine, I wish you all the best. The Queen invites all the concubines to enjoy the snow together in Yunlai Pavilion tomorrow. We will not greet you tomorrow morning. Please prepare, Lady Concubine."

Yao Jinse nodded and responded, and Bai Tan beside her went down the stairs to see her off - it was said to be a farewell, but in fact it was to give her some reward secretly. The news of Yao Jinse's promotion should have been first passed to the Queen's Kunning Palace. Not long after, someone came to pass on the message. It was naturally impossible to say that it had nothing to do with the promotion.

So the reward money cannot be less.

Bai Tan came back quickly. When she went out just now, she tried to inquire indirectly about the reason for the so-called snow-viewing, but she didn't find out anything. On the way back, she shook her head slightly at Yao Jinse.

"Young Master has just received some favors, and the Empress suddenly asked us to go to enjoy the snow. This matter must be directed at Young Master." Although she didn't get anything out of her question, Bai Tan was not an ignorant little girl. She was clear-headed. Many things were strange because she couldn't get the answers. So she had to worry: "Young Master has always been cautious. In the past, these things were done by Concubine Yi. Now that Concubine Yi is gone, Young Master has to rush to the front in everything. If this continues, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of attention."

After hearing this, Yao Jinse felt that there was some truth in it.

Whether it was the original owner herself or the time when she first arrived, her principles of doing things were very fixed. Living in harmony with the world and protecting oneself were the first priorities.

Later, when Yao Jinse pushed Concubine Yi out in order to save her own life, she had thought of a replacement. Concubine Feng was a backup plan, but she made a bad move and ended up wasting a chess piece.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to come to the stage so quickly.

But Yao Jinse did not follow Bai Tan's words and instead asked, "How was the emperor's mood when you were in the room today?"

"The emperor is naturally very interested," Bai Tan didn't know what his mistress meant, so he subconsciously said something nice: "The mistress has been favored by the emperor these days. When the emperor came before, the mistress was also happy. I think as long as time goes by, the emperor will definitely like the mistress even more."

"Is it?"

Yao Jinse was stunned at first, but then she realized that the happy person Bai Tan was talking about was the original owner, not her. But no matter who it was, Xie Yun'an might have some physical thoughts about "Yao", but he definitely didn't have any psychological liking for her.

"You don't have to coax me. I can tell whether the emperor has me in his heart. If it weren't for the imperial concubine's support, I wouldn't even have this position now, let alone the emperor's love for me."

If we have to say that there is a noble person on Yao's path, it can only be the imperial concubine.

No matter what the imperial concubine's selfish motives were, her recommendation was genuine and her care was not false.

"But it doesn't matter. It's good that the emperor can come. As long as I am still useful, I will naturally have a chance to succeed. As for sincerity... In this palace, sincerity is the least important thing." (End of this chapter)
