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

After the draft, Xie Yu was not in a hurry to flip the cards in the next few days.

As soon as spring began, a flood occurred in the south, and the previous dynasty had been arguing for several days about the selection of people to provide disaster relief.

The husband said he was right, the wife said she was right, and even the harem heard the news.

Recently, Xie Yu had no intention of entering the harem, let alone looking for a concubine.

Chen Xier has been in a much better mood these days because Xie Yu did not turn over any of the concubines' cards.

One day, she took some time to take people to visit the palace of several beautiful ladies.

His words not only showed off Xie Yu's favor for her, but also tried to win over the concubine.

When Sun Manrou heard that Chen Xier had left, she was not to be outdone. She followed the remaining concubines and showed off her might, looking very majestic.

Second day

Among them, the daughter of the Grand Commandant, Qian Si, was ill, but both Chen Xier and Sun Manrou tacitly did not bother Zhang Yuyan, who was given the title of noble lady.

Everyone in the harem knew that Zhang Yuyan would be favored in the future because of her looks and talent.

Therefore, even Sun Manrou, who was used to being domineering, did not feel uncomfortable with this.

Zhonghe Palace

After Qiao Xin reported what had happened in the harem in the past few days, Lin Junxue picked up the brush and accidentally dropped ink, staining the white paper black.

She waved her hand, and Guyu stepped forward and put away the drawing paper.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. Of the five contestants that Xie Yu kept in the finals, except Zheng Jin who was kept by accident, the other four all had their own merits.

Zhang Yuyan has a profound family background and is both talented and beautiful.

Qin Shushu's reason was because she had a good body and was good at giving birth.

Although Qian Si does not have the obvious advantages of the first two, she has some of the elegant and tranquil temperament of the Queen Mother.

Two days ago, Sun Manrou went there the day before, and she fell ill the day after and removed the sign. She is also a smart and interesting woman.

Among the concubines who serve the emperor in bed with the emperor, being the first one to do so is not necessarily a good thing, as it will make you a target in the harem.

Sometimes, a steady stream of income may not be a bad thing, so, in her opinion, Qian Si's illness came at a very timely moment.

And that Gu Mo, the Gu family is Xie Yu's confidant

One day, the military power that Xie Yu took back would probably be handed over to this member of the Gu family, so a woman from the Gu family must enter the palace.

Even if it was a confidant he had personally trained, Xie Yu would not trust him completely.

Lin Junxue saw clearly that although this talent show seemed to be a selection of women that Xie Yu liked, in fact, they all had their own value.

Lin Junxue said calmly, "What happened in the previous dynasty yesterday?"

Danzhen stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, yesterday, the chaos in the front court became even more serious. Someone recommended Concubine Xi's father to go to provide disaster relief."

Lin Junxue picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes darkening slightly.

Chen Xier's father? Which political master pushed this fool out to block the robbery?

If Chen Xier's father had not relied on Chen Xier's favor, how could such an incompetent and incompetent little official have reached the sixth-rank position today? It was all given by Xie Yu for Chen Xier's sake.

for a while

Lin Junxue said, "What did Chen Baolu say himself?"

Chen Baolu is the name of Chen Xier's father.

Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, after Concubine Xi's father was recommended, he solemnly promised in front of the emperor yesterday during the court session that he would definitely handle the disaster relief work. The emperor did not say anything and did not express his opinion."

Lin Junxue chuckled. Could it be that this Chen Baolu was an older version of a naive girl?

Otherwise, why would he be so stupid as to stand up at this time?

Guyu asked, "My Lady, why are you laughing?"

Lin Junxue said, "Chen Baolu relied on Chen Xier to reach his current position. How could the emperor not know his abilities? Chen Baolu himself cannot see clearly."

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, the Chen family has relied on Concubine Xi's favor in recent years and has become arrogant. Now that Concubine Xi is pregnant, even if the emperor's favor is not as good as before, the Chen family wants this lucrative job, and they probably want to take a gamble by relying on the child in Concubine Xi's belly."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, with a meaningful look in her eyes.

"The Chen family's move will only make the emperor even more dissatisfied. Disaster relief is a complicated matter involving many things. There are many officials in the court who are both virtuous and talented, and they are outstanding. It is not Chen Baolu's turn. If he stands up on his own, it would be a brainless act."

Lin Junxue said again, "In the past few days, the court has been arguing over the disaster relief officials. If the disaster relief officials do a good job, they will definitely be rewarded. Moreover, disaster relief is also a lucrative job. Who in the court doesn't want it? At this time, Chen Baolu was pushed out by someone with ulterior motives. He is just a target. They want the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible about the disaster relief officials."

Gu Yu said, "But Madam, doesn't Concubine Xi know to remind her father not to be the first to do something? If the emperor is not satisfied, what will the Chen family gain?"

Lin Junxue curled her lips

"Chen Xier may know that this is not right, but people are greedy. What if her father can really participate in this disaster relief, gain merit, win the emperor's favor, and get promoted?"

If Chen Xier listened to her family and talked about this matter in front of Xie Yu, then she would have touched Xie Yu's bottom line.

The most important point is that the harem will never interfere in politics.

If Chen Xier asked for this, the little affection between Xie Yu and Chen Xier would be completely exhausted.

She was curious whether Chen Xier would make the right choice this time?

Elegant Palace

After Chen Xier read the letter sent from home, she asked Zi Shuang to put it away, with an obscure expression.

Her father told her to find a way to persuade the emperor that he wanted to go south to provide disaster relief.

He also made many promises in the letter that if he got the opportunity to provide disaster relief, he would do his job well and not let her down.

If successful, it will also allow the emperor to see the capabilities of their Chen family.

Chen Xier looked hesitant. She knew her father and brother's abilities.

Disaster relief is no joke.

If it is done well, the emperor will certainly reward it, but what if it is not done well? Will my father be punished for it? In the end, she was implicated.

Her affection towards the emperor is no longer the same as before. What if something goes wrong again?

Chen Xier was very upset and couldn't make up her mind. She looked at Zi Shuang who was standing beside her.

"Zi Shuang, tell me, should I help my father with this matter?"

Zi Shuang glanced at Chen Xier's expression before replying.

"Your Highness, I say that you should help the Master with this matter. Your Highness, now that you have a prince, what you lack most is the support of your family. If the Master does a good job this time, the Emperor will also look at the Master differently. When the Master is promoted, it will also be good for the prince in your belly."

Chen Xier was originally wavering

However, when she thought about the prince in her belly who would have to have the strong support of his mother's family when he competed for the position of crown prince in the future, she gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind.

Yes, if she had families like Lin Junxue, Sun Manrou, and Chen Mi.

With her favor over the years, the position of Imperial Noble Consort would have been hers long ago.
