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

Chapter 124 - The Heartbreak (11)

"You are indeed capable." Mu Yanran looked at Xia Lanyue who was standing not far away, and broke the silence at this moment.

Xia Lanyue acted as if she had never heard of it, she still stood there, staring quietly.

"Could it be possible, you really want to be the second Bai Xin, Bai Xin traded her life for a few years of fame and honor, and how many years can you trade your life for?" Mu Yanran's voice was lukewarm. , but echoed in the empty hall.

Shi Jingrou smiled coldly: "Guess what the Empress Dowager wanted to say to the Emperor when she dismissed us?"

Shi Jingrou's question did not get any response from anyone, so she continued: "No matter what they said in it, there can only be two results in the end, one is that the emperor persuaded the queen mother to agree to canonize you as a concubine, and the other is that the queen mother persuaded the emperor Give up canonizing you as a concubine. If it's the former, everyone is happy. But if it's the latter..." She paused, looked at Xia Lanyue's back mockingly, and said, "I've heard about the vicious methods of the Queen Mother in Qi State. But now you make her own son like this, after all, it's just a way of giving death."

Hearing this, Mu Yanran pursed her lips and said, "I guess the final result is the latter, Xia Lanyue, do you really think that the emperor will give up the throne for you? You don't know how much the emperor used It took a lot of hard work to keep the crown prince and become the emperor of Wei, it is hard to come by, and it will be hard to give up."

Xia Lanyue moved the corners of her mouth, but in the end she still didn't speak, she still waited quietly.

After a long while, the palace servant came out to send a message, calling the three of them back to the side hall.

The three of them entered the side hall one after another. At this time, the emperor and the queen mother were sitting on the left and right of the main seat. The expressions on their faces were much calmer than before, and they seemed to have reached a consensus.

Shi Jingrou who just sat down couldn't wait to ask: "Empress Dowager, do you need to draw up an order to confer Xia Lanyue as a concubine?"

The queen mother didn't answer Shi Jingrou, but just looked at Xia Lanyue, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Lanyue, the Ai family doesn't like you very much, but the emperor likes you. Since even Bai Xin could accept it at the beginning, he will accept you now."

After the Queen Mother's words fell, Mu Yanran and Shi Jingrou immediately shouted in unison: "The Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager glanced at the two of them coldly, and they immediately fell silent, not daring to speak further.

"The family background of the Ai family was also low back then, but the first emperor conferred the title of noble concubine to the Ai family and the crown prince to Chen'er. Now that Chen'er likes you, the Ai family will fulfill you. I won't spare you!" The more the Queen Mother spoke, her voice became colder and piercingly cold, and her sharp eyes seemed to see through Xia Lanyue.

Xia Lanyue never thought that when she came back here, the Queen Mother's attitude would suddenly change, which caught her by surprise, secretly wondering what Su Chen had said to the Queen Mother during this period of time.

The queen mother continued: "Your position is according to the emperor's will, canonized as Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen Xia."

Su Chen immediately turned his head to look at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, we agreed..."

"Your Majesty, this is already the biggest concession made by the Ai family. Concubine Duan's family can only be titled by her surname. If Xia Lanyue uses flattery today, wouldn't it cause criticism from everyone in the previous court and the harem!" The queen mother said so Suddenly, his eyes were a little sad: "Even if the Ai family was canonized as a noble concubine at the beginning, the late emperor only canonized the Ai family as a concubine of ten thousand nobles."

"My concubine thanks the Empress Dowager for your kindness." Xia Lanyue respectfully bowed down and thanked Su Chen without waiting for Su Chen to continue speaking.

"Since Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu are also here, this matter is settled. The emperor will draw up a gold book and go to the queen to ask for the phoenix seal. Find a day for the canonization ceremony."

Shi Jingrou was a little surprised when she heard the queen mother's words, and immediately asked: "The queen has not asked about the harem for many years, please Feng Yin..."

Halfway through Shi Jingrou's words, the Empress Dowager answered with a faint smile: "Look at Aijia's memory, I forgot to tell you, and just discussed with the emperor, the power of the harem will be returned to the empress. From tomorrow, all the concubines will go to Weiyang The palace greets the queen."
