Although the original person entered the palace not long ago, it was not the first day, so the polite words for the first meeting had already been said, and now it was the usual routine.
But the palace was much more lively than before the draft.
Before the draft, today's emperor has never been drafted. Except for the old people in the palace who accepted them when they were princes, they were the girls from their natal families who were stuffed into the palace by several top leaders after becoming emperor.
Linlang estimated that this was one of the reasons why the emperor wanted to draft a draft. After all, the emperor was tired of seeing those old people coming and going, so he wanted to choose some new people to come in and try something new. After all, both men and women liked it. Young, good-looking and fresh people of the opposite sex.
The emperor is rich all over the world, how can he only have a few women coming and going? Naturally, he wants to see more beauties. This is the power naturally given to him by his status.
Because there were just a few old people coming and going, the palace was quite boring before. After all, there were only so many people coming and going. Everyone had already run out of things to talk about, and there was nothing left to talk about. Can you not be bored? .
Well now, a large number of new people have come in, and everyone has something to talk about.
At that moment, I heard Concubine Ding say to a very beautiful young concubine: "Last night, it was Sun Jieyu's bed again. It seems that His Majesty is really satisfied with my sister." Then she looked to one side and looked at a cold-looking, older concubine. The concubine, who was getting older, said: "Sister Han, you have to be careful not to be squeezed out by the newcomer, hehehehe..."
This Concubine Ding was the niece of Empress Dowager Ding. Because she had the support of her aunt, she had no one to fear in the palace, so she dared to say whatever she wanted.
She was obviously angry when she said this, so the young and beautiful concubine looked a little uneasy after hearing what she said. Obviously, she was afraid that Concubine Ding would say this about herself, Concubine Han, and other concubines would be jealous of her. In the future, I will become a target and be targeted.
Although she knew that Concubine Ding was putting herself on the fire and she would have definitely fought back if someone else had said this, Concubine Ding's status made her dare not say anything and could only look embarrassed.
But the two concubines that Concubine Ding mentioned, the young and beautiful one, is the newcomer who came in this time, Sun Jieyu, whose father is a fifth-rank Beijing official. Logically speaking, the fifth-rank is not forced to recommend a girl to be selected, but she The family obviously had thoughts about the palace. He probably thought that his girl was beautiful and would have a chance to be favored in the palace. Seeing that the emperor finally held a talent show, he submitted the girl's name. Sure enough, Sun Jieyu won the title of Jieyu because of her beauty. , the position is only under the concubines, and she is favored as soon as she comes in. The emperor has been favored several times.
This is normal, after all, who doesn’t like beautiful people.
That Han concubine was the one the emperor liked more before.
To be honest, it’s not that I dote on you too much, I’m just the taller among the dwarfs, so I was a little worried when I saw a new person coming in, but naturally I couldn’t show my worries on my face, so I just said calmly: “I have a younger sister to take care of me. Your Majesty shares your worries, but it’s too late for me to be happy, so why do I need to be careful?”
How could Concubine Han not be worried? She had no backer. The only backer was the emperor. If the emperor stopped pampering her and pampered someone else, her end would be coming. After all, Concubine Ding and others would have waited long for her to be pampered. He couldn't stand her anymore and wanted to eat her flesh. When she fell out of favor, she would definitely make trouble for her, so Han Bin was actually very worried.
——In fact, Concubine Han’s worries were not false, because as the number of new people increased, she did fall out of favor.
There is no way, today's emperor is not a long-term romantic person. Naturally, like most people, he has the problem of liking the new and hating the old.
Concubine Ding became angry when she saw Concubine Han's cold look. She thought about Tiantian's dead face and thought she was so noble, so she said this because she didn't believe that the other party really didn't care.
In fact, Concubine Ding's guess was correct, because Concubine Han was just a character who was aloof and cold, and she was indeed not as nonchalant as she showed.
Concubine Han was a concubine that the emperor took into his arms when he was about to become the crown prince but had not yet entered the palace. Since the late emperor passed away shortly after he established the crown prince, Concubine Han had only been in the palace for more than three years, so she was not very old.
The reason why Concubine Han is said to be aloof is just a persona, not aloof from the world, because when she entered the prince's palace, she was not like Linlang and others. She was from a third-rank or above official family who forcibly pushed someone into the palace. She was Enter the Prince's Mansion voluntarily.
When she entered the prince's palace, the emperor had already begun to fall ill, and the emperor was the only adult prince, so many people knew that if the emperor's illness did not recover, the third prince (the emperor was the third) should be able to take the throne, so at that time, she He stuffed a lot of women with him, just to try to get rich.
Concubine Han was also stuffed into the Third Prince's Mansion by her parents at this time.
And the reason why she is so cold and aloof is because she comes from a scholarly family, so she has created an image of herself that is impeccable.
In fact, no one can tell that she is a rigid persona. After all, if she is really aloof, she will not be a concubine. After all, no one is forcing her, and she does not want glory and wealth.
Since being aloof is just a created persona, and he doesn't care so much about being unfavored, then seeing the emperor doting on the newcomer will naturally make him worried.
At that moment, Concubine Ding didn't know the true face of Concubine Han. She just heard her say this, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll see if you are in a hurry when you fall out of favor."
Queen Mother Ding, who was above, heard the two people bickering and was busy chatting with Xini, saying: "Okay, okay, new people will be admitted frequently in the future, and new people will definitely be favored. This is normal, and you will get used to it after a while. , We all came here like this back then, so we didn’t have to worry about anything..."
Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Cui on the side also echoed: "Yes, you are all old people. You have to set an example for the newcomers in the future. Don't make a lot of noise with just a few newcomers."
Linlang couldn't help but laugh when she saw the three of them enlightening the young concubine.
Even though the three senior officials smiled kindly at each other, Linlang knew that it was impossible for them to be friendly at all. After all, the three families had all allowed their natal nieces to enter the palace to strive for wealth, and they were all vying for the position of concubine, imperial concubine, and even queen. Who could be harmonious? stand up? It is estimated that whichever family has the possibility of further advancement, the other two will take action to kill each other, otherwise the children in the palace will not always be unable to survive.
Although it is possible that he died of natural causes, it is also possible that it has something to do with these people.
After a "cordial" and "heart-to-heart" exchange, everyone came out of the palace of the Empress Dowager and slowly hurried back.
At this time, an acquaintance stopped Linlang and said, "Linlang, wait for me, let's go together."
When Linlang turned around to look, it was Huang Bin, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. She was also granted the title of concubine because of her good background.
