Chapter 34

Jiang Changzai, who performed an astonishing dance at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, did not meet his expectations.On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Hongyou went to Su Qinwan in the Yixiang Palace. In the next few nights, he turned over the signboard of Concubine Xu Shu, and the rest either went to the Yixiang Palace or stayed in the Longgan Palace. Zai's admiration is limited to her dancing posture, but she doesn't have much impression of the dancer herself.

In this way, people who would have been worried about Jiang Changzai or would be favored and dare not blatantly target her, now see that the emperor is indifferent, and also see that the second concubine Yan and Xu treat her coldly, so that there is no more scruples, It is rare that all kinds of irony, sarcasm, and dark tricks come in turn, making life even more difficult for Jiang Changzai, who was already isolated.

Su Qinwan looked at Jiang Changzai who was in a mess and was hurriedly walking to the bedroom with the help of the maids, and then glanced at the concubine Chang who was surrounded by several women dressed as concubines and frowned slightly.

Liu Guipin is arrogant because she has a high status and her natal family is powerful.And this Concubine Chang is just a cousin who has been kidnapped by the Prime Minister's Mansion for several times, even if she called Concubine Xu Shu privately, she might not be able to enter the palace if there was no reason for the incident.

There are two one-size-fits-all rules for the selection of concubines in this dynasty: daughters of families below the fourth-rank official are not selected, and there are no second concubines in one dynasty.The first one is to look at one's background, only official girls whose rank is above the fourth rank are eligible to participate in the election, because of this rigid rule, but Sun Jinrong, a petty official of the eighth rank, will offer food and drink Niece Su Qinwan.

This rule was set by the Emperor Taizu to prevent the harem from being dominated by a family of women like in the previous dynasty.

Su Qinwan was very puzzled by this rule, "Empress Xianmin and Concubine Qing are sisters from the same family? Why did they become concubines of the Qiyuan Dynasty at the same time?"

Liu Shuang smiled slightly to explain her confusion, "Concubine Qing only entered the palace after Empress Xianmin's funeral. If the empress was still alive, she would not be able to enter the palace. There is another situation, the empress dowager's nieces can also enter the palace." Entering the palace to serve the new emperor, but not the Supreme Emperor."

Su Qinwan nodded knowingly. In fact, it was to prevent Ehuang and Nvying from appearing in the harem. Emperor Taizu seemed to hate the phenomenon of sisters serving one husband together, so he made this strange rule.

"Wanyi, it seems that Jiang Changzai has suffered a lot." Chunqian said in a low voice.

Su Qinwan lowered her eyes and said nothing, she still walked straight forward at a leisurely pace. When the people in front saw her coming, they hurriedly bowed to salute. She saluted and returned the salute, but turned her head to look at Concubine Chang's resentful but provocative eyes .

Su Qinwan frowned slightly, before she had time to ask each other, she saw Concubine Chang suddenly stepped forward a few steps, and leaned in front of her, then bent her knees slightly, and made a gesture of salute, but her But his right hand suddenly stretched towards Su Qinwan's waist...

Su Qinwan flicked her hand subconsciously, and just touched the other's wrist between her fingers, only to hear "Oops", and Chang Concubine fell to the ground in response, but after a while, she struggled and knelt up, and said sincerely, "Wanyi Forgive me, Wanyi forgive me..."

All the concubines present stared blankly at this sudden change, and subconsciously looked at Su Qinwan. At this moment, they only saw Chang Concubine stepping forward to salute, but Yu Wanyi suddenly pushed her to the ground.Even Zhichan and Chunqian, who had been standing behind Su Qinwan, saw the master raised his left hand, and then Concubine Chang fell and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Su Qinwan was startled, and for a moment didn't understand what the other party was doing, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a bright yellow figure and instantly understood.She pursed her lips tightly and looked at Chang Concubine who was excellent in singing and singing without saying a word, neither asking nor explaining, until the voices of greetings from everyone beside her sounded, "Concubine respectfully invites the emperor install!"

Feeling a familiar masculine breath lingering around the tip of her nose, she turned sideways and blessed Zhao Hongyou, her lips were still tightly pursed, but those bright water eyes looked at him without blinking, Watching him turn slightly sideways to face the aggrieved and weak Concubine Chang.

"What's the matter? Why are you kneeling on the ground?" Zhao Hongyou asked with a frown.

Like a frightened little animal, Concubine Chang quickly raised her eyes to glance at Su Qinwan in fear, and then said in a trembling voice, "It's not, it's not about Yu Wanyi, it's, it's the concubine's slow movements."

"Oh..." Zhao Hongyou raised his eyebrows and dragged his voice, but after a while, his eyes fell on Su Qinwan.

Su Qinwan pouted with displeasure on her face, "The concubine doesn't like the smell on her body!"

Zhao Hongyou was taken aback for a moment, looked at the distance between the two of them, then burst out laughing, pinched Su Qinwan's bulging cheeks affectionately, and said indulgently, "If you don't like it, then let her stay away. That is, why bother to be angry with yourself!"

Concubine Chang's expression changed, she looked at the two standing in front of her in disbelief, and forgot to react for a moment.

Hearing what he said, Su Qinwan made up her mind, snorted out her nose, reached out and hugged Zhao Hongyou's arm, and said delicately, "Concubines don't dare, if they complain to the emperor, what if the emperor annoys the concubine?" Is good?"

Zhao Hongyou seemed to be helpless, but also shook his head indulgently, "You..." After a while, he turned around and looked at Concubine Chang, who was on the ground with a bluish face, and said without emotion, "Concubine Chang is disrespectful in front of the imperial court. From Wupin Liangdi!"

After speaking, he took Su Qinwan's hand and walked forward slowly.

Subconsciously, Su Qinwan followed his pace. After walking a few steps, she turned her head and smiled triumphantly at Concubine Chang who was on the ground with her mouth open and her face pale. Followed by the tall and straight bright yellow figure and left.
