Chapter 476 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (44)

"He Chongyi, do you mind if I stay here and sit for a while?"

Shen Yao smiled and sat down directly without waiting for He Chongyi's answer after asking her.

He Chongyi:……?

Since she didn't need to speak or answer, why did the Queen ask for her opinion? It was totally unnecessary.

He Chongyi complained in her heart that the new queen was a bit hypocritical, but then she smiled faintly because they were the same people.

"Your Highness, as the head of the harem, there is no place you cannot go or sit. I dare not."

Although she clearly had nothing in her heart, her words were filled with resentment. He Chongyi felt that she also had a bad temper and would not allow herself to be bullied. After all, she was the mistress of a palace.

Hongguo and Luying, the two new personal maids who were transferred to follow Shen Yao, looked at each other and wanted to remind He Chongyi not to offend the Queen with her words, but the Queen raised her hand to stop them.

"He Chongyi doesn't dare, not that she doesn't mind. I think she is still dissatisfied in her heart."

As she spoke, Shen Yao suddenly sighed heavily to the people around her, "It's no wonder. I heard from the palace servants that He Chongyi has lost her appetite and sleepless nights these days because her family has been away from Beijing.

It has been five years since He Chongyi came from Jiangnan. It has been five years since she got to see her family. I understand He Chongyi's sadness and helplessness, and I believe that the next opportunity for you to meet will come soon. "

He Chongyi looked up at Shen Yao and said nothing more, neither denying nor agreeing. Was it like a tacit protest?

Shen Yao continued to smile and tapped the table with her fingers, "Does He Chongyi miss home?"

"Does the Queen miss home?" He Chongyi asked back. She kind of understood why the Queen came to the Imperial Garden today. Could it be that she was blocked by her?

why?

He Chongyi didn't understand, and at the same time she was thinking whether there was any obvious flaw in her body, otherwise why would the Empress, who was no less powerful than the Emperor, pay attention to her? She was just a small second-rank Chongyi.

A mere second-rank Chongyi? One of the nine concubines, not even the lowest-ranking Chongyuan. He Chongyi was too modest about her position.

“Since I came here today, I want to do a business with Chongyi.

Chongyi, you don't have to worry about how I treat you, and don't test me in any way.

In other words, Chongyi thinks that if I really want to cause trouble for someone, I will be considerate enough to give the other person a chance to react?"

It's impossible. Shen Yao will never give up until he achieves his goal.

There was no hesitation or indecision. Sometimes, even the system would think that Shen Yao was a little too cold.

He Chongyi's expression changed slightly, and although he adjusted himself quickly, people could still see the clues.

Shen Yao continued to wait for He Chongyi's answer, as if she would not give up until she heard something that satisfied her.

He Chongyi: ...

He Chongyi lowered her eyes, looked at her folded hands in front of her, and took a breath, "It is my blessing that the Queen values ​​me so much.

Please make it clear, Your Majesty, I will fully cooperate. "If you can't beat them, just join them. Why do you have to fight for a family that has nothing to do with her?

Even though He Concubine He was more likely to rebel than He Chongyi, who made Shen Yao come to her directly? He Chongyi had finally managed to survive until today, but the He family not only did not help but also liked to hinder her. It was not enough to send in a chaotic He Concubine He, and they planned to send in a second and a third... Ha, did they really think that she had survived these years in the palace by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures? !

"Since He Chongyi has made up her mind, she will not regret it again.

To be honest, although there are many Jiangnan concubines in the harem, I am most optimistic about you.

What is the purpose of us entering the palace? Family honor is important, but we also need to live to enjoy it, otherwise it will be a death warrant."

Who said no!

He Chongyi agreed with Shen Yao's words. If Shen Yao was just chatting with her instead of forcing her to make a choice, she might be happier than she is now.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The maidservant reminded He Chongyi, who was lost in thought, and said with a worried look that they had spent a whole day in the Imperial Garden, and if they continued like this, the Empress' legs would be in danger.

Could it be that the words spoken by the Queen were so damaging to the master? How come the master hasn't returned to normal even after the Queen left for a long time?

No, that's not right.

The master has not been as happy as before since his lady left, and it should have nothing to do with the Queen today.

The maidservant had all sorts of conspiracy theories in her mind, but she still expressed her concern.

He Chongyi shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I'm just making some plans."

There was nothing wrong with betraying the He family. He Chongyi didn't have a good impression of the He family in the first place. What she was worried about was whether she, as a traitor, could have a good ending after the betrayal.

What the Queen Mother said made her sober, but the Queen Mother was also painting a pie in the sky. At least there was some filling in the He family’s pie, but what about the Queen Mother?

"Forget it, let's go back to the palace."

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not explicitly ask her to express her opinion today, so she had time to think about it and find a way out for herself.

He Chongyi took her maid back to Changle Palace, but unexpectedly, the maid who stayed in the palace brought a wooden box, saying that it was sent from Fengyi Palace in the afternoon and must be handed over to the master and opened by the master herself.

He Chongyi:……???

what?

He Chongyi opened the wooden box curiously and saw a string of beads with an extremely exotic style.

"Host, you are sending it straight to him, won't it scare He Chongyi?"

That is a specialty item of the Southern Barbarians. Although it is not prohibited in the State of Yu, it is indeed a bit too advanced to give it to others so carelessly.

Shen Yao turned over and continued leisurely, "What do you mean by ahead of the times? I am reminding her not to hesitate, because the He family is on a dead end."

The He family is so bold to dare to get involved with the southern barbarians!

Not only Shen Yao knew this news, but even the Shen family outside the palace knew it.

It was also because Shen Yao deliberately concealed the fact and didn't want the emperor to know. Otherwise, He Chongyi would have no chance to stay in Changle Palace and would have been directly sent to the cold palace without any chance of turning over.

system:……

The system thinks that the host is too confident. It is not good to always have such thoughts. They must learn to be low-key and cautious to avoid accidents.

There is a possibility that Shen Yao will fall in the future, and the one who is currently affected is He Chongyi of Changle Palace.

As long as He Chongyi is not stupid, she can discover the hidden meaning of this string of beads.

Thinking about what the Queen had said openly and secretly during the day, He Chongyi broke out in a cold sweat, and was even more shocked by the He family's suicidal behavior.

Is that the case? Is that the case?

He Chongyi put away the wooden box and held it tightly in her hand, "Early tomorrow morning, follow me to Fengyi Palace."

She couldn't delay it too long and had to draw a clear line with the He family as soon as possible. This matter would not benefit her in the short term, but it would not be harmful in the long term.

…………

Early the next morning, Shen Yao was in the palace dealing with the palace affairs that were sent to her. They were all trivial matters that were not troublesome at all, but Shen Yao needed evidence, so she had to bite the bullet (with the help of the system) and find the mistakes in them.

Hongguo walked in holding a teacup, walked to Shen Yao and whispered, "He Chongyi from Changle Palace is here to visit."

Shen Yao said "Oh" and put down the account in her hand, "He Chongyi is here? Please invite her in."

He Chongyi is a decisive person as he decided on the route after thinking about it for a whole night.

Hongguo responded with a "yes" and turned around to lead He Chongyi in.

"Empress"

"He Chongyi"

Shen Yao waved her hand and asked Lu Ying to serve tea. She walked to the couch and sat down. "He Chongyi came here in a hurry this time, but has your hesitation yesterday come to an end?"

At this time, besides He Chongyi, only Shen Yao was left in the main hall.

The two of them sat face to face, with Shen Yao sitting high up, just enough to see He Chongyi's expression and emotions.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that I realized it when I returned to the palace yesterday. The He family has evil intentions and has done evil things. We are unworthy of the emperor's grace.

I am willing to sacrifice my own family for the sake of justice, because the people of Yu should not have second thoughts. "

The southern barbarians are wild and ferocious. All clans in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered various kinds of harm as long as they have existed long enough. The He family is a native of Jiangnan, and their ancestors were even hunted down and tortured by the soldiers of the southern barbarians. Now that they dare to go against their ancestors and get involved with the southern barbarians, He Chongyi can only get himself out of this situation first.

Shen Yao reached out her hand and helped He Chongyi, who was bending over, up with a serious look on her face. "He Chongyi acted righteously. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would not blame you."

This sentence was a promise from Shen Yao to He Chongyi that He's affairs had nothing to do with her.

He Chongyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then mentioned He Jieyu of Qimei Palace, saying that she had a bad relationship with her. If she hadn't been concerned about her family's explanation, "I would not have chosen to tolerate He Jieyu again and again, causing so many jokes and troubles for the queen."

He Chongyi did not forget to file a complaint against Concubine He. After all, when Concubine He was pregnant, she took every opportunity to make trouble for her. After she finally had peace for a while after the child was born, she showed signs of resurrecting her evil intentions as soon as Madam He entered the palace.

He Chongyi hated the He family for sending anyone else into the palace, while He Jieyu was looking forward to the newcomer entering the palace to help her turn the tide. They had two different attitudes, and if they had kept to themselves, He Chongyi wouldn't have thought anything of it.

But He Concubine Yu has always been abstract and arrogant. If she doesn't play by the rules, won't He Chongyi be in trouble? Since she can even sell the He family, there is no reason for her to be reluctant to part with He Concubine Yu.

Shen Yao understood what He Chongyi meant, smiled and patted the back of He Chongyi's hand, "I know that the matter of Qimei Palace has nothing to do with Chongyi. If there is anything in the future, just send someone to report to Fengyi Palace."

Fengyi Palace is the central palace, in charge of the entire harem. No matter how noisy the Qimei Palace is, it will be suppressed.

This is also the reason why Concubine He only dared to cause trouble for He Chongyi and not for other people. No matter how crazy this person appears, she still has a string in her heart and will not commit suicide easily.

After chatting about other issues with a smile, He Chongyi left on the pretext of having something to do in the palace.

"System, look, this guy is quite smart, but he only got the second-grade Chongyi, which is a bit of a waste of talent."

If it is useful, you can move it up. The positions of the four concubines are not filled yet.
