Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character
Chapter 448: Lowly Concubine 8
In fact, Su Tong could have taken the route of Jie Yuhua, but perhaps because he had too many tasks to do and he didn't have the temperament for it, every time he saw the emperor, he would lower his head and be submissive, and he simply didn't have the leisure to coax another person.
Zhao Yan was indifferent to Su Tong's performance. All the women in the harem liked her, but this liking was mixed with various interests. In the past, Su Tong deprived her of her favor for the sake of his status, and even sang to please him. But since she had a child, she became indifferent to him. It was precisely because of his indifference that Zhao Yan came to Su Tong's palace with more confidence, so that at least he could feel at ease.
I can only say that men are all scoundrels. The less you pay attention to him, the more excited he becomes. It turns out that women need to learn to play hard to get.
In the blink of an eye, Concubine Qing gave birth to a little prince as she wished. Zhao Yan was very happy and made her a concubine. At the same time, he did not forget to make Su Tong a concubine as well, and even found a neighboring palace for her.
"You and Concubine Qing have been sisters for many years. I originally wanted you to live together, but the palace here is too small, and you both have children. I will simply find you another palace nearby so that you can have more free time."
The main purpose of Zhao Yan doing this is that he hopes it will be quieter when he comes next time, and with a separate palace, it will be more convenient to enter and exit.
Zhao Yan is the ruler of the world, and he always does what he wants. When he likes someone, he really thinks about the other person. At least this time he directly promoted Su Tong's position. You know, some concubines who have given birth to children may not be promoted in their entire lives if they are not remembered by the emperor or reminded by the empress.
When Su Tong gave birth to the little princess, she was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine, and now she has been promoted to a concubine. Now she can call herself "this palace" to others.
Concubine Qing thought that she could surpass Su Tong after giving birth to a son, but she didn't expect that giving birth to a son would make things easier for someone else, who was still on an equal footing with her. Fortunately, the other person only had a daughter, while she had a prince.
In the next two years, Su Tong became the most favored concubine in the palace. Other concubines could see the emperor three times a month at most, but she could see him four or five times. However, most of the time, the emperor came here to avoid the emperor.
For fear that the Queen would be wary, Su Tong specifically told the Queen why the Emperor came to visit him when he was paying his respects to her. The Queen was only slightly stunned at the time, then showed a gentle smile and even rewarded him with a lot of things.
Su Tong's heart finally settled down. In fact, for the queen, it was nothing for a concubine in the harem to be favored, but what she feared was being favored exclusively, because once she was favored exclusively, it meant that the emperor had fallen in love with this woman.
The love of the emperor is the most terrible thing in the world.
The emperor is thirty-eight years old this year. It is often said that it is rare for a person to live to be seventy years old, especially in ancient times when people's lifespan was very short. Living to fifty or sixty years old was considered a long life.
In order to secure a future for her daughter, Su Tong became pregnant with her second child. The emperor was very happy and directly named her a noble concubine. He even promised that after she gave birth to the child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, he would directly name her a concubine.
There are eight levels of concubines in the harem. The lowest is Beauty, followed by Talented Lady, then Noble Lady, Imperial Concubine, Concubine, Noble Concubine, Concubine, Noble Concubine, and Queen.
It is easy for concubines below the rank of Jieyu to be promoted, but it is a hurdle for those above Jieyu. Su Tong originally thought that she would die of old age in a surplus position, but she did not expect that she would become a concubine, and now she has become a noble concubine. Now that she is pregnant, she may be able to see the original owner's mother when she gives birth.
Su Tong did meet the original owner's mother when she was seven months pregnant. The mother and daughter had not seen each other for such a long time, and when they met again after many years, they felt that everything and everyone had changed.
The original owner felt regretful. If she had listened to her parents' advice and married a man of equal status, she might not have entered the palace, let alone the luxury of meeting her own parents.
Su Tong specially asked the wet nurse to bring the little princess over so that her mother could see her granddaughter, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren could share the family happiness.
Su Tong cherishes such days very much, but unfortunately such days are gone in the blink of an eye. After Su Tong gave birth, even if it was delayed for a while, the original owner's mother still left the palace. But this time the mother and daughter parted happily, at least both sides had hope.
Su Tong gave birth to a little prince, and now she had both a son and a daughter in the palace. In fact, there were a few concubines in the palace who had two children. Most of them had two daughters or two little princes, and some had one son and one daughter. However, only herself and Concubine Shu had both a son and a daughter.
The Emperor originally wanted to confer the title of Consort upon himself, but the Empress submitted a memorial stating that she was still young, of humble origin, and that, since she had just been conferred the title, she should wait two years before being conferred the title.
The queen was not afraid of Su Tong. There was nothing to be afraid of based on his family background. Even though he had a son and a daughter, and even though his father was promoted from county magistrate to prefect, it was not enough for their prominent family.
The reason why the queen stopped it was to calm the harem. A woman who was too favored was like a drop of boiling water suddenly dropped into a frying pan. If not handled properly, it could easily cause chaos.
Su Tong was not so anxious about the matter of position. The position of noble concubine was already a high-ranking concubine. The only headache was that she had to pay respects to the empress on the first and fifteenth day of every month. It was okay in the summer, but it was really hard in the winter. If she could become a concubine, she would have a special sedan chair.
"I haven't seen my sister for a few days. No, I should call you sister. After all, you are the Empress Guiping now." It would be a lie for Concubine Qing to say that she was not jealous. She had always been under her feet before, but that person suddenly climbed over her head. She immediately felt jealous.
Su Tong knew what kind of person Qingpin was, so she didn't take it to heart. "Sister, we have been good sisters for many years. Could it be that you really took it to heart?"
Concubine Qing was immediately appeased and said with a smile, "Okay, even you dare to tease me, you really deserve a beating."
The two sisters reconciled again. The fact that they can maintain their current relationship in a place like the harem is enough to make others look up to them. The harem is mixed with all kinds of interests, and some concubines were good sisters before entering the palace, but after entering the palace, they fell out because of various things, and some even murdered each other.
Su Tong and Concubine Qing had been through thick and thin together. In the beginning, they had indeed put in a lot of effort in their quest for favor, but now both of them have made it through and have children. They will rely on their children to survive in the future.
