Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Lin Junxue doesn't like children by nature, let alone a newborn baby. There are too many things to worry about.

It would be fine if Shiwen gave birth to a princess, but if it was a prince, it would be good even if he was raised by her and nothing happened.

If something happened, given Xie Yu's deep suspicion, he would definitely suspect her of something. She didn't want to be charged with murdering the heir to the throne.

Let’s not talk about the secret plots and murders against the children in the harem.

Even children will inevitably get sick as they grow up, and medical technology was not well developed in ancient times.

By then, if something really happens, she won't be able to explain it even if she opens her mouth a thousand times.

You could say she was selfish or overly prudent, but she didn't want to take such risks and troubles, so Shiwen's child could not be raised under her wing.

Furthermore, since the poem only wishes for the safety and well-being of his children and does not have any big ambitions, this has been made clear.

If she gave birth to a prince, she would hope that he would grow up safely and become a leisurely prince in the future.

If you are a princess, you should not go to another country to marry a foreign prince. You should just find a prince consort and live a stable life in Kyoto.

Since Shiwen asked for this, Lin Junxue would not raise the child.

She will do her best to protect the child and let him grow up safely, which can be considered as accumulating some blessings.

The child she wants to raise cannot be her own biological child, but she must fight for that position.

She chose the eldest prince because she liked him and because of his age and background.

In ten or eight years, Xie Wuji might be able to compete for that position.

She couldn't wait too long. After traveling through time, she couldn't spend her whole life in this harem. There should always be a day when she could retire after achieving success.

Lin Junxue put away her thoughts, lowered her eyes and looked at Qiao Xin.

"I don't have that intention. I don't want to raise Shiwen's child, and I can't raise him, but I will protect him a little bit."

Qiao Xin agreed and said softly, "Your Majesty is right not to raise him."

Lin Junxue said nothing more and went to sleep.

Qiao Xin lowered the curtains beside the bed and went outside to keep watch.

Second day

Of course, the fact that Zi Shuang was punished with ten sticks last night could not be concealed, and the concubines in the harem knew about it early in the morning.

However, Chen Xier was exempted from paying respects, so naturally she had no chance to make sarcastic remarks.

When the concubines paid their respects today, there was a hint of joy on their faces.

For half a month in a row, the concubines whose concubines were snatched away by Chen Xier felt that they had finally gotten rid of their anger.

Lin Junxue was at a morning meeting, listening to the concubines talking to each other, which made her ears hurt.

Finally, she really didn't want to listen anymore and sent away all the concubines.

These women in the harem all seem to come from big families, but when they get together, they are no different from the village women gossiping on the street.

Hall

After the concubines paid their respects and left, Xiao Cheng came over with Xiao Xia Zi and stood respectfully.

Half a month later, the two reported on the selection of concubines, their identities and backgrounds, and every detail.

Xiao Chengdao said, "Empress, this year's selection of concubines has been rigorously screened and only 103 of them remain. Among them, Zhang Yuyan from the family of the Minister of Rites is the most outstanding of the concubines."

The name Zhang Yuyan?

Lin Junxue has heard this quite often recently. It seems that she is indeed a potential stock.

Lin Junxue gave Xiao Cheng a seat, Xiao Xiazi stood aside, Xiao Cheng smiled and thanked her and sat down

Lin Junxue said, "Eunuch Xiao, in half a month, the concubines will enter the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be busy. You must take care of yourself. I think Xiao Xiazi can take charge of it under your guidance. It is better to let Xiao Xiazi take charge of the selection this time. If she acts properly, I will give Xiao Xiazi a few words of advice in front of the emperor."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he was delighted. How much more could he pave the way for Xiao Xiazi?

Finally, if Xiao Xiazi wants to take his position, he must show his face in front of the emperor in order to be promoted.

The Queen wants to give Xiao Xiazi a chance to show up in front of the Emperor, an opportunity she could never ask for.

With the favor that the Queen now enjoys in front of the Emperor.

As long as she says a few words, Xiao Xiazi's future will be stable.

Xiao Xiazi quickly stepped forward and knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Queen, for your promotion."

Xiao Cheng smiled and became more respectful

"Your Majesty, I will let Xiao Xiazi do it. It is Xiao Xiazi's blessing that Your Majesty values ​​him."

Lin Junxue smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said "hmm" faintly.

They are all smart people. If she wants to promote them, she naturally wants Xiao Cheng and Xiao Xia Zi to be sensible.

Ever since Xiao Cheng came to her for help, she has been very satisfied with everything he has done for her.

After her observation, Xiao Xiazi was also a capable person, so it was time to promote him and gradually take over Xiao Cheng's class.

As soon as Xiao Cheng walked out of the Zhonghe Palace, he ran into Xie Wuji who came to pay his respects. The eunuch who followed him was selected by Xiao Cheng himself and sent to him.

Xiao Cheng had been in the palace for many years and had already guessed something about it.

The eldest prince Xie Wuji has surrendered to the Queen

With the Queen's current means, it is hard to predict what the eldest prince's situation will be like in the future.

Xiao Cheng was able to reach this position in the palace. He had been the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department for so many years without making any mistakes.

The most important point is that he never flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak.

Whether down and out or glorious, the true attitude is all in the heart, not on the face.

Just like when Lin Junxue was still an out-of-favor queen, Xiao Cheng was willing to turn a blind eye and opened the door for her, which led to her current allegiance.

Xiao Cheng respectfully greets Xie Wuji

Xie Wuji was also very polite, "Eunuch Xiao, the road is slippery, be careful."

Xiao Cheng leaned forward and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness, for your concern."

Xie Wuji nodded slightly, and Xiao Cheng watched Xie Wuji enter the Zhonghe Palace.

Xiao Xiazi whispered, "Master, with such grace and demeanor, the eldest prince doesn't seem to be as bad as others say."

Xiao Cheng turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiazi, his old eyes narrowed, and his tone was full of emotion.

"The eldest prince now has the protection of the queen, so he naturally has the demeanor of a prince. You know, a few months ago, the eldest prince did not have the confidence and composure he has now. In the past, the emperor never cared about the eldest prince. For so many years, he didn't even ask a question and ignored him. But two days ago, the emperor mentioned the eldest prince inadvertently. This is unprecedented. Although it was an inadvertent mention, if it weren't for the queen, the emperor would probably not even remember the eldest prince. The eldest prince's blessing is still to come."

Xiao Xiazi nodded

"Master, I will pay more attention to the Prince's Mansion from now on."

Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Xiazi with satisfaction

"Master knows that you are smart. Master will give you one more thing to say. If you want to live long in this palace, stand high and stand firm, the most important thing is to understand people's hearts and have a long-term vision."

Hall

After Xie Wuji greeted her, he sat opposite Lin Junxue.

During this period, he really regarded Lin Junxue as his biological mother. He felt unprecedented warmth in Zhonghe Palace.

"Your Majesty, just now, I met Eunuch Xiao at the palace gate."
