The concubine is extremely cautious

Concubine Zheng's face turned pale and she looked at Concubine Shu for help.

In her heart, Concubine Shu cursed Ning Wanyin for being difficult to deal with, and said with a smile, "What Concubine Zheng said is indeed inappropriate... By the way, the sacrifice ceremony for Empress Dowager Zhaoci..."

She changed the subject abruptly.

Since they did not force Wei Yingya to kneel, Ning Wanyin would not force Concubine Zheng to plead guilty.

Each side takes a step back.

On the surface, everything appears peaceful.

Wei Yingya looked at Ning Wanyin with gratitude.

Sister Ning, you are really my God!

You must not die.

From now on, of the three birthday wishes every year, I pray for peace of mind and longevity, and one of them must be fulfilled!

After a while, Wang Degui came with the imperial edict.

"Please accept the order, Concubine Cen!" Wang Degui smiled.

All the concubines saluted together, with Concubine Cen kneeling at the front.

Family merit is an important way for concubines to be promoted.

In Dayan, where clan values ​​are strong, if a person makes a contribution, his wife and children will be given titles.

Rewarding the families of meritorious officials has always been a practice. With the Cen family's military achievements, Concubine Cen will definitely be promoted, and no one is surprised.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Concubine Cen, who is respectful, virtuous, and respectful, be promoted to Zhaoyi."

Concubine Cen knew this would happen, and thanked calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

The concubines were about to stand up...

Wang Degui immediately reminded, "Your Majesty has another order."

"Your Majesty has decreed that Lady Ying, who is of noble birth and of good character, is promoted to the rank of Concubine."

Wang Degui finished reading.

All the concubines were stunned.

The most stunned one was Wei Yingya, who accepted the order in a daze, "I thank your majesty for his grace."

Concubine Shu asked in surprise, "Eunuch Wang, I wonder if Lady Ying's promotion this time is...?"

"The Wei family has made great contributions to the great victory in the southwest, so Your Majesty has rewarded them." Wang Degui was also secretly amazed.

The emperor's reward was quite unexpected.

The Wei family did have great military achievements...

Wei Yingya is indeed a daughter of the Wei family.

There's really nothing wrong with this string together.

Ning Wanyin just heard the words "Yuxiu Mingmen"...

Then I understood what the emperor meant. Lady Ying's promotion was due to her family's merits.

Use the Wei family's merits to promote the person the Wei family wants to kill the most...

What a shame on you.

The emperor has always been a man who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments.

He promoted Wei Yingya and slapped the Wei family and the Cen family in the face.

Is there something wrong with this great victory?

After hearing Wang Degui's answer, the Cen family felt as disgusted as if they had eaten a nest of flies.

It's very disgusting.

Even though Cen Zhaoyi had always been well-mannered, she felt upset when she saw the newly-appointed Concubine Ying.

"Some people are really good at taking advantage of others..." Zheng Jieyu was very jealous.

She was an old member of the Qiandi Palace, and had to endure for several years before she was promoted to the position of Concubine. Wei Yingya relied on luck to get ahead of her, so how could she not feel jealous?

Although Wei Yingya was confused, she smiled brightly at Cen Zhaoyi: "Thank you!"

Cen Zhaoyi: ...

……

Coming out of Jingxi Palace.

Wei Yingya smiled with gloating pleasure. Seeing Cen Dang unhappy made her happy.

But she also felt a little sad.

Thinking back to when she wanted to advance to the throne, she had used every possible means and made every effort, but the emperor only gave her a title...

Still nailed to the status of beauty.

Now it's so easy to get promoted to Concubine...

It is true that when you try to plant flowers, they don’t bloom, but when you plant willows by accident, they grow into a shade.

As soon as Wei Yingya returned to the palace, Concubine Shi came to visit her.

"Congratulations, Concubine Ying!" Lady Shi said with a smile:

"Among the new talents now, except for Cen Zhaoyi, you are the only one with the highest rank."

Wei Yingya looked at her warily, "Miss Shi, what's the important matter that brought you here today?"

"I feel unfair for Concubine Ying. You used to be equally favored as Concubine Ning, but after you joined her, you no longer sleep with her. Concubine Ning monopolizes the favor of His Majesty and doesn't even share some with her good sister..." Concubine Shi was trying to sow discord.

Wei Yingya thought, do you think I would?

On the surface, he was polite and said, "Miss Shi, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

"Master Xue thinks highly of you. Now your position is higher than Ning Wanyin, and you have a better future than her. There is no need to follow her lead. It is better for you to join Master Xue." Lady Shi smiled.

Wei Yingya: ??? Isn’t Xue Jinyan’s position lower than mine, Ning Shen?

However, she also understood that as the spokesperson of the Xue family, Xue Jinyan did not look at her current position, but at the Xue family behind her.

"I am stupid and unworthy of being appointed to important positions..." Wei Yingya declined politely.

Lady Shi smiled, "Ying Jieyu, you have to see the situation clearly. The Cen family has a grudge against you for killing your father, and today you have offended them severely. You will definitely die. Ning Wanyin will die at the hands of our noble master Xue. If you follow her, you will be on two dead ends."

"He who knows the current situation is a hero. If you join Master Xue, you don't have to be afraid of the Cen family."

Of course it was impossible for Wei Yingya to join the Xue family.

As for her feelings, Ning Wanyin had done her a favor, and she would never repay kindness with evil for someone who grew up under the influence of the core socialist values.

Yu Li, I finally joined the heroine team! What happened to the person who betrayed his sisters in the main trio? She has watched the TV series!

But suddenly an idea came to her mind.

She could actually go undercover in the Xue family!

On the one hand, he could use the power of the Xue family to avenge himself against the Cen family. On the other hand, he could know their plan to deal with Ning Wanyin in advance and tip Ning Wanyin off.

Isn’t this a win-win cooperation?

Ning Shen and I each won once!

"Sister Shi, what you said makes sense! The Cen family killed my father, and I have an irreconcilable relationship with the Cen family. I had no choice but to seek refuge with Concubine Ning. If the Xue family is willing to help me, I am certainly willing to serve them!" Wei Yingya said excitedly with an expression of regret for not meeting them earlier:

"Everyone in the world knows that the only family that can deal with the Cen family is the Xue family! I believe that the Xue family will be able to avenge me!"

Lady Shi was not at all surprised by her reaction.

Most people in this world, if given a choice between the Xue family and Ning Wanyin, would choose the former.

What's more, Wei Yingya's current situation is not good.

If she wants to survive, she needs someone to support her.

And everyone knows that the only family that can protect her from the Cen family is the Xue family!

"As long as you work for Lord Xue, the Xue family will naturally protect you." Lady Shi did not mention how to deal with the Cen family specifically, avoiding the important issues.

This is just a promise. Dealing with the Cen family is not an easy task.

They just wanted to use Wei Yingya to deal with Ning Wanyin.

"You continue to stay with Ning Wanyin, pretend that everything is normal, and cooperate with Master Xue's plan." Lady Shi arranged.

Wei Yingya was stunned. Huh? She had already prepared to pretend to have a falling out with Ning Wanyin, but you wanted me to continue pretending to be good friends with her?

That's simply, acting in his true colors.

"That's no problem." Wei Yingya nodded, and said loyally, "I will follow the arrangements of Master Xue."

Come and tell me, how do you want to deal with me, Ning Shen?

Hey.

In order to avoid suspicion from Xue's party, Wei Yingya did not go to find Ning Wanyin immediately.

I was so excited that I held it back for three days...

Just when Tang Miaoling came to play with him, he went with her to see Ning Wanyin.

He immediately told the story of Lady Shi coming to find him, and told the whole story like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
