The most beautiful lady in the harem

Judging from observations in previous lives, Emperor Yongjia was not the kind of man in the world who would fall deeply in love with a girl.

Therefore, in Qin Liuse's mind, Emperor Yongjia was classified as a practical emperor.

To him, concubines in the harem only existed to reproduce his offspring and settle down the harem.

Compared with other things, beauty naturally takes a back seat.

And this Xin Zhaoyuan is obviously wearing the hat of virtuous, gentle and free-spirited.

Although Qin Liuse had never met her, from observing her over the past few days and meeting her today, she could tell what her attitude was like when facing Emperor Yongjia.

As for consideration, if she was not considerate, Emperor Yongjia would not have taken her to the northwest.

It was not a place to enjoy life. The Ninth Prince at that time needed to take care of all matters, so he would naturally bring a virtuous and tolerant woman to help him manage the affairs of the house.

If she had not been considerate and virtuous, Emperor Yongjia would not have allowed her to be the person in charge of the villa in the northwest.

Although the emperor is far away, the Ninth Prince's princess is in the capital, and Xin Zhaoyuan is the housekeeper there. She really acts like the mistress of the house, which is not something an ordinary concubine can do.

There she is more like a princess than a princess. People below her and outsiders all have to flatter her, and her words carry much more weight than in the palace.

Thinking about it this way, although Qin Liuse had only met Xin Zhaoyuan once, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of her.

The sun is shining brightly today, the weather is very good, and there is also a new happy event in the harem.

That is, Emperor Yongjia had new arrangements for the people in the harem.

The concubines above the third rank were all sitting in the Cining Palace, listening to Emperor Yongjia and Empress Dowager Dong talking about some changes.

Qin Liuse sat down, listening silently with her eyelids drooped. While listening, she stared at the patterns on the ground to pass the time. She didn't expect that Emperor Yongjia would actually call her name.

"From now on, the affairs of the harem will be looked after by Xin Zhaoyuan, Li Chongyuan and Qin Jieyu." Qin Liuse was a little surprised. When she heard the voice and looked up, she met the eyes of Emperor Yongjia.

She could guess that Emperor Yongjia would let Xin Zhaoyuan be in charge, but she never expected that she would have a share. As for Li Chongyuan, she was also a little surprised.

For a moment, I didn't understand why she wasn't called the virtuous concubine like before, and just be left alone to watch over her.

There are many people and many mouths. If the arrangements made by Emperor Yongjia don't work out, it will be a mess.

However, this possibility is indeed low. At least it can be seen that both of them like to be virtuous people.

And if this happens, she will have to deal with Xin Zhaoyuan in the future.

Emperor Yongjia looked at her and said calmly, "Xin Zhaoyuan is in the northwest, and she is also a member of the housekeeper's staff. You and Li Chongyuan should follow her and learn more skills."

What else could Qin Liuse and Li Chongyuan say? They naturally stood up to accept the order and nodded in agreement.

Concubine Xiao De didn't want to take care of the affairs of the harem. After Concubine Xian passed away, she helped Emperor Yongjia manage the harem for such a long time, which was really beyond her limit.

Therefore, Emperor Yongjia made such arrangements today.

After hearing what Emperor Yongjia said, Empress Dowager Dong smiled faintly, and looked at the three people with a smile in her eyes. "You three are all lovable. You should help the emperor share his worries."

He also said some official words about how lovely, capable and helpful they were, as a way of commending them.

At the end of her speech, the Empress Dowager Dong swept her eyes across the palace and landed on Qin Liuse's face, "And Concubine Qin, Li Chongyuan and Xin Zhaoyuan have all given birth to little princesses. You must do your best. The emperor loves you and you are still young. Give me a little grandson."

Qin Liuse almost blurted out, "You were young back then, but you never gave birth to a little princess or prince until you grew old, and the princess you have was adopted from someone else."

But even though she was speechless, even if Qin Liuse had ten times the courage, she would not dare to say these words here.

She was wailing in her heart, thinking that she would really offend people. The Queen Mother Dong should obviously pay more attention to Xin Zhaoyuan who suddenly came back. What does she have to do with it? What is the point of bringing her along?

But he still smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern!"

However, two second-rank concubines and Qin Liuse, a third-rank imperial concubine, manage the harem together. It is understandable that they take over temporarily, but in the long run, they cannot control anyone at all.

So after leaving the Empress Dowager Dong's Cining Palace, the Emperor's edict was spread throughout the harem by Zhu Wanxi.

Because this imperial edict involved more than one person, Zhu Wanxi was very busy, running around. He first went to Concubine Ning Shu's palace to congratulate her.

Emperor Yongjia promoted Concubine Ning Shu to Concubine Ning Gui.

The vacant position of Shufei was given to Xin Zhaoyuan, who became Xin Shufei.

As for Qin Liuse, she has now become a Zhaoyi.

When Qin Liuse received the imperial edict, her mouth was so big that she could fit an egg.

When people outside found out about this, they were extremely surprised, and Qin Liuse himself was almost as surprised.

She became a Zhaoyi before she had any children. Emperor Yongjia was simply putting her in boiling water.

It can be said that the scene is very exciting.

This would make many people in the harem jealous.

Qin Liuse wanted to ask Zhu Wanxi a few questions during the ceremony, but Zhu Wanxi didn't have that much time. He smiled and said to Qin Liuse, "Congratulations to Qin Zhaoyi, congratulations to Qin Zhaoyi. There are so many happy events in the harem today, and I am smiling so hard that I can't stop."

"But I have to go now. My work is not yet finished."

"Eunuch Zhu, where are you going? You should take a rest in Shuyue Pavilion and drink another cup of tea to quench your thirst."

Zhu Wanxi shook his head and said, "We are in a hurry. We have to convey the emperor's order before the auspicious time."

Qin Liuse asked around and found out that Zhu Wanxi had to go to the other side.

Liu Qiuniang also got promoted to a higher position, and from then on she would be called Liu Cairen.

Together with them, there were several new beauties who had entered the palace and were promoted to Baolin and imperial concubines.

However, it is obvious that Liu Qiuniang is one of the most popular among them, and is obviously deeply loved by Emperor Yongjia.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The news that Zhu Wanxi was announcing the decree everywhere soon spread to all the palaces.

Li Chongyuan and her maid were ready to go, waiting for Zhu Wanxi to come to the palace to announce the decree.

Everyone in the harem has her own story. Li Chongyuan is watching, and the position of the virtuous concubine is left vacant!

She thought she had secured this seat, but after waiting for a long time, she received no communication from Zhu Wanxi.

Before the emperor's edict arrived, the eunuchs would be asked to deliver the message first so that they could dress up and put on palace robes to receive the emperor's order.

Li Chongyuan felt empty inside, but she forced herself to keep up appearances and sent someone to inquire.

After a while, the eunuch who had returned found out that Zhu Wanxi's decree had already been passed on to the palace of the new concubine.

Li Chongyuan softened, but she leaned on the couch with her hands to keep herself from softening.

Now she knew she had no chance.

The imperial edict was naturally passed from the top to the bottom. She was a second-rank concubine. When the edict reached Qin Liuse's palace, she no longer had a place, not to mention that it had already reached the Xiu Nu Palace.

For a moment, Li Chongyuan's face was hot and spicy. On the one hand, she felt disappointed, and on the other hand, more importantly, she felt humiliated.

Just now, everyone from Yuxiu Palace came out and sat talking in her room, thinking that her promotion was a foregone conclusion and had already called her "Empress" in advance.
