Chapter 477 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (45)

Shen Family Outside the Palace

Shen Chunbai and his son Shen Changyu got together again. The two of them stayed in the study and whispered to each other, mainly discussing the affairs of the Jiangnan clan.

"The He family will definitely not be able to escape this time. The queen wants to use the He family as bait to see if she can catch other big fish."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changyu made a small gesture towards the palace and lip-read, "Your Majesty"

Shen Chunbai stroked his beard and said, "The He family is the key to digging deeper.

I will immediately arrange personnel and take the opportunity to set off for Jiangnan.

The Queen's palace still needs She to visit more. You must know that everything our Shen family has today is due to the Queen's deliberate promotion."

After returning to Beijing for such a long time, Shen Chunbai witnessed the infighting in the court, which was even more intense than before he and his son left Beijing. Officials of different ranks were dismissed every day, and many low-level officials were promoted.

Shen Chunbai relied on Shen Yao's strong connections to prevent everyone from getting a chance to attack, but this was not a long-term solution.

“As a father, I thought that the Emperor’s attitude was clear, and that there was the Empress’s legitimate son in the palace, so the court should not have been stirred up in such a turmoil,” but human greed was hard to stop.

“Father, man proposes, God disposes.

"Our Shen family didn't intend to do this at the beginning," but was pushed up step by step, relying on the palace and our own efforts to reach the height we are today.

The view from a high place is always better than that from a low place. If someone suddenly wants to destroy the Shen family's status at this time, the Shen family will definitely fight back with all their strength.

"Everything is fate," Shen Chunbai said that he believes in fate but does not accept it.

Otherwise, Shen Yao would not be able to enter the palace, Shen Rong would not be able to achieve what Shen Yao has today, and the Shen family would not be able to squeeze into such a class where they can reach the sky with just a touch of their hands.

"Changyu, go and make arrangements. Make sure this matter is done properly," Shen Chunbai looked out the window, his eyes fixed on the sky in the distance.

…………

Shen Yao still stayed in Fengyi Palace, and occasionally went for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

In the new year, another beautiful girl entered the palace to become a concubine, and Shen Yao, as the queen, was very busy.

Although there were people like Concubine Xian and He Chongyi who helped, the main contributor was Shen Yao. Shen Yao even had to take into account the emperor's physical condition and aesthetic preferences. The few beauties who were left at the end, regardless of their backgrounds, were definitely excellent in appearance and temperament.

"Hongguo, just arrange them according to the palaces above. The concubines entering the palace this time are not of high rank, but we also have to consider their subsequent promotion possibilities." After all, moving the palace is still troublesome, so it is best to directly choose a palace without high-ranking concubines.

"Yes, the servant understands."

Hong Guo reached out and took the booklet filled with palace information, then said, "Your Majesty, the new concubines will enter the palace on the ninth day of next month. Do you need to give instructions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Shen Yao raised his head and touched his chin. "Give me a few words of advice, especially to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for transferring people. We should not give rise to any criticism in these areas."

The Imperial Household Department is responsible for daily trivial matters such as being dissatisfied with the palace servants, not having enough people, or the decoration being wrong, and there will always be some problems.

For ordinary small troubles, the officials will not investigate unless the people report them. But it is different for the newly promoted concubines. They are destined to be the emperor's favorite concubines. After entering the palace, they will definitely have the opportunity to serve the emperor. If there is someone who is particularly favored by the emperor, Shen Yao will have to judge the case for them.

Raising his hand and rubbing his forehead, Shen Yao signaled Hongguo to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first and report back if there was anything.

Hongguo turned and left, passing by Lvying who was carrying a tray in the door.

"master"

Luying placed the tray in her hand on the coffee table, bowed, and then talked about the news she received today.

It's about Princess Yu Xi who lives in Fengyi Palace. Didn't Shen Yao originally plan to find a female teacher for her? Now that the teacher is in place, the princess has worked hard to learn skills from the other party for a period of time, but the result was not so good.

"Master, maybe the content taught by this female teacher is not very clear and proficient. Sister Xiaoji always says that the princess likes to sleep more recently. I think this female teacher..."

Before Luying finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and apologized to Shen Yao.

As a slave, it is against the rules to talk about others in private. It is not easy for Lu Ying to be transferred to Shen Yao's side, so she cherishes the opportunity to show her face even more.

Shen Yao waved her hand, telling Lu Ying not to be so cautious, "Xiao Ji once told me about the female teacher, and Xi'er also mentioned it occasionally.

How about this, find an opportunity and ask that female teacher to come over."

Whether he had ulterior motives or something else, Shen Yao guessed that the other party couldn't hide it.

Luying lowered her head and replied yes, then stood up and talked about Prince Yu Sheng of Xiefang Palace with a smile.

Compared to the princess, who was having a hard time, everything was going smoothly for the prince.

The emperor cares about the prince on a daily basis, the great Confucian scholars teach him diligently, and the prince studies very hard. Now everyone in and outside the court brags about the prince's intelligence, and even the royal relatives who were ready to make a move have become much more obedient.

A smile appeared on Shen Yao's originally calm face. Yu Sheng's performance was indeed good.

Perhaps this was due to her and the emperor's expectations, but Yu Sheng himself was also hardworking and did not disappoint them, otherwise how could he have such a thriving scene before his eyes.

“Sheng’er is young, but he never causes me and the emperor to worry about this.

Luying, ask the kitchen staff to prepare some soup and send it to Xiefang Palace for Xiaofu later.

Sheng'er hasn't been home much these days, and I've been busy with palace affairs and rarely go to see him, so it won't hurt to nourish him more."

In fact, the amount of food, clothing and other necessities that Fengyi Palace sent to Xiefang Palace on weekdays was not less at all.

Coupled with the extra care from the Imperial Household Department and the special concern from the Emperor, Yu Sheng could be said to be the person living the most comfortable life in the entire harem. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had everything he wanted.

Upon hearing this, Luying responded with a "yes" and then changed the subject to mention the Shen family outside the palace.

The Shen family has arranged for people to go to Jiangnan in a low-key manner, ostensibly for purchasing, but actually for investigation.

Shen Yao received the news from the system earlier, and Shen Changyu was still responsible for handling this matter.

After finishing what she wanted to say in a clear and organized manner, Lu Ying turned around and left, leaving Shen Yao alone in the room.

Swaying her body and leaning against the soft pillow behind her, Shen Yao sighed and asked the system, "Do you know where the Shen family's fleet is going?"

The system popped up, 'We are halfway through the journey and will arrive in Jiangnan in a few days.

Host, according to He Chongyi's information, the He family is still trying to put people into the harem to achieve their goals. Should we stop them in advance or remind the emperor?'

At the same time as the new concubines entered the palace, the selection of concubines in Jiangnan was also coming to an end.

Over the years, the emperor has never given up on enjoying happiness, and the number of concubines in Jiangnan has increased year by year. With the ability of the He family and the looks of the selected beauties, and with the support of the two He concubines in the palace, this force cannot be underestimated.

"Don't remind her for now, let her in." Rather than blocking her out in advance, it's better to keep her by your side and monitor her.

It is safest to keep it by your side, otherwise who knows what other means the He family will use.

The He family cannot be kept, and there is a high probability that they will become the chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys. As for the other Jiangnan clans, it depends on the situation. If the situation is not serious, Shen Yao can give them a chance. If it is serious, they will go down and accompany the He family.

'Host, is our mission really coming to an end?'

The system is somewhat unbelievable. To this day, it still feels as if it has done nothing.

Many of the things they said came out of their daily chats, some of the things were done by the Shen family themselves, and even the emperor was taken advantage of many times.

The number of people who actually made the host take action can be counted on one hand, which is absolutely clear.

Even so, the task completion rate is still very high, which is incredible.

Not understanding why the system started to panic again, Shen Yao raised her hand and touched her temples, "The emperor cannot have children. As long as Sheng'er grows up safely, it will be easy for us to fail to complete our mission."

Besides, the conflicts between the emperor and the court were becoming more and more serious. The longer the emperor was in power, the more afraid the court officials became.

Even if we don't take action in the future, we will be pushed around by the court officials.'

At that time, they can take the opportunity to shift the blame and clear themselves.

Shen Yao clapped his hands together, raised his eyebrows, and closed his eyes slightly, "We have such a big advantage, just wait for the reward."

system:……

Suddenly, it was no longer worried or afraid. It turned out that they were so strong. It was just that it didn't think enough.

After secretly reflecting on itself, the system flattered Shen Yao and then drifted away to an unknown place.

…………

"Empress"

"He Chongyi"

Shen Yao smiled and waved her hand, "He Chongyi is free to come here today, which surprises me."

Everyone knows that the new Concubine He who has just entered the palace is an exact replica of Concubine He. She is no less favored than Concubine He at the beginning. The frequency with which she orders He Chongyi around has also steadily increased. He Chongyi cannot even stay in her own Changle Palace, let alone have the time to come to Fengyi Palace.

After making a little joke about the busy He Chongyi, Shen Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip. Hmm, the taste was still very authentic.

It is worthy of being the tribute tea sent from Jiangnan. The fragrance lingers for a long time after you take a sip.

He Chongyi smiled bitterly, "I really can't handle He Cairen."

To be honest, He Chongyi came to Fengyi Palace now with the intention of avoiding trouble.

He Cairen was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. She did not feel afraid at all. Also, the emperor was very satisfied with her serving the emperor, so she ordered He Chongyi around without any courtesy.

At first, He Chongyi thought about hypocrisy and being a snake. After all, she had agreed to the queen's conditions first, and at the same time, it would give her a life-saving trump card so that she could save herself in case of problems later.

Later, she found that He Cairen was becoming more and more excessive and would go to her for every trivial matter.

After He Chongyi pushed it several times and found that it didn't work, she just gave up and ran away.

"But before I left, I entrusted Concubine He's affairs to Concubine He. We are cousins, and I believe Concubine He will take good care of Concubine He."

It’s not her fault that she couldn’t take good care of him. He Chongyi curled her lips, then pursed her lips and took a sip of tea.

Shen Yao smiled, "It seems that Concubine He is not good at taking care of people, and Concubine He will probably miss Chongyi more."

He Chongyi: ...No, absolutely not. People like this will annoy anyone who comes into contact with them.
