The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 122 - The Heartbreak (9)

The queen mother snorted lightly, and said mockingly: "Your Majesty Lan is such a great honor. Concubine Jing and Concubine Ran Shu, even Concubine Xinhui, who was deeply favored by the honor at the beginning, only used the word in their names as their title, but the emperor has to personally It's really a good way to choose to think of a flattering word to give you a title."

Xia Lanyue answered immediately: "I don't dare accept this title..."

Before the words were finished, the Empress Dowager immediately received: "Of course you don't dare! Not to mention whether you, a humble maid in the palace, are qualified to use this title, even one of the four concubines is not eligible."

"The concubine knows that her status is humble, so she has already declined to the emperor."

"You know how to retreat and push this matter to the Ai family. Everyone in the harem knows that you are the emperor's new favorite. If the Ai family opposes the emperor at this time, it will definitely cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. Could it be that you want to separate the Ai family? Mother-child relationship with the emperor."

"The concubine has no such intention."

"The Ai family thinks you are very smart, but so what? Concubine Xinhui is also smart, but now the Ai family is still the queen mother, and the niece of the Ai family is still the queen, and what will happen to Concubine Xinhui?" Speaking of this, the elite's eyes glanced over Shi Jingrou and Mu Yanran inadvertently, and then cast their eyes on Xia Lanyue in front of them, and said with a pun: "Don't think that you can covet the queen's daughter because you have a dragon heir." Concubine Duan also has the eldest son of the emperor, but so what, as long as the family is in mourning, the empress will not change."

Shi Jingrou naturally realized that these words were not only addressed to Xia Lanyue, but also to herself. The expression on her face was indifferent, but there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, which disappeared in an instant.

"Concubines don't dare." Xia Lanyue replied meekly with her eyes lowered.

The Empress Dowager stopped talking, took a sip of the tea at her side, and Mu Yanran kept her face sombre all the time. Recently, there were rumors in the palace that the affair between her brother and Shi Jingrou was enough to annoy her. Xia Lanyue was a concubine, full of restlessness welled up in her heart, and said coldly: "Lady Lan was born as a maidservant, there are rules in the harem, and those with low status are not allowed to be promoted to the concubine. The emperor Jin Xia Lanyue has broken the rules of the harem as a nobleman , now we can’t break the rules again.”

Mu Yanran's voice sounded deep, but the Queen Mother did not answer her words. She was still sipping tea carefully, as if waiting for something, but the sharpness in her eyes made it impossible to guess what she was thinking at this moment.

The hall suddenly fell into a moment of silence, and suddenly the palace people sang "The Emperor is here" from outside the hall, which broke the deadlock at the moment.

Dressed in a yellow robe, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Su Chen had already entered the hall. He glanced at Xia Lanyue who was still kneeling on the ground, and then saluted the Queen Mother: "Mother Queen."

"The Ai family knew you would come." The Empress Dowager put down the white jade teacup in her hand, and looked at Su Chen with gentle eyes.

"My lord heard that my mother called noble Lan to come here, so I came here to have a look." Su Chen walked to Xia Lanyue, bent down to help her up, and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty Lan is pregnant." If you are here, if..."

The queen mother knew what Suchen was going to say later, so she interrupted lightly: "It was the Ai family who made her kneel, isn't it because she was pregnant, could something happen just by kneeling? I think Ai family was pregnant with the emperor back then. When you were punished by the queen to kneel outside the palace for two hours, didn't you still stand in front of Aijia?"

"Isn't it because of the fact that I want to make her a concubine? I am the emperor of Wei, so can't I make a decision even if I can make a concubine? If it's just because of her status, Bai Xin was the daughter of a criminal official of Yan, and I canonized her." As Concubine Hui, you have never objected to the empress." Su Chen's voice was somewhat sullen.
