Chapter 472 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (40)

This incident that happened before the New Year was gradually settled after the New Year.

After the incident calmed down, the emperor immediately issued an edict to everyone to confer the title of empress.

This decree not only diverted the attention of the court and the royal family to a great extent, but also put the usually low-key Furong Palace at the center of hot searches again.

Of course, the decree also included the matter of conferring the title of Concubine He of Qimei Palace as Concubine He, but unfortunately, she was defeated in an instant before being conferred the title of Queen.

“Ahhhhhhh! Why why?! All of you, get out of here!”

In the main hall of Qimei Palace, Concubine He was already dissatisfied with the imperial edict, and when she heard the news that Shen Yao was crowned as the queen, she became even more unhappy and started to go crazy.

The ornaments originally placed in the room were thrown everywhere, and even the maid who served as the personal servant had obvious slap marks on her face when she came out.

The servants in the palace were in a panic, causing everyone in Qimei Palace to tremble.

Until He Chongyi came over, everyone felt like they had found their backbone and started to ask for help.

He Chongyi: ...

"You guys step back, don't let anyone in without my permission."

After saying this, He Chongyi signaled to the maid beside her, and she pushed the door open step by step with one hand.

"roll!"

Bang——

Another porcelain cup was thrown out, smashing into pieces on the ground and scattering all around.

He Chongyi couldn't help but frowned, walked around the mess on the ground, looked calmly at He Jieyu who was half-sitting on the bed with disheveled hair, and said, "Have you had enough of the fuss? At a time like this, shouldn't you learn to keep a low profile?"

Hearing this, He Jieyu raised her extremely pale face and asked, "Low-key?"

How can she keep a low profile? She has lost her child. What's the point of saying all this?

He Chongyi became increasingly impatient, "Whose fault is it that the child is gone?"

She doesn't learn to be quiet, and keeps making trouble in the palace all day long relying on her belly. Is it possible that this child can be kept?

He Jieyu glared at him angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!"

He Chongyi did not leave, but found a nearby round stool and sat down. "I will leave when the time comes. I came here today just to kindly remind you not to forget the family's instructions."

He Jieyu: ...

Her originally angry face turned strange. He Jieyu looked at He Chongyi with sarcasm, the woman who was nominally her cousin but actually had no relationship with her at all.

"Family explanation? Hahahaha, the He family is not my family. I have no name or surname, and I was born an orphan. Did you forget how we were brought back to the He family? It's only been a few years since I put on this skin, and I don't know that your memory is so bad. It's really shocking."

You don’t know until you say it, and once you say it, you’ll be shocked. He Jieyu might have been driven crazy and dared to tell everything to others.

He Chongyi's disgust for the other party reached its peak. She hated this kind of idiot the most! She hoped that the so-called sister sent by the family next time would be a smart person with brains.

"If you don't tell me this secret and I don't tell it, no one will know it.

Unless you don’t want to live anymore and want to take the He family and other Jiangnan clans with you to die, otherwise, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.”

He Chongyi shook the handkerchief in her hand and repeated the family's instructions lightly, "Since the medicine is effective, keep going.

Don't you want to climb up the social ladder? In the harem, offspring are much more useful than favors. Sister is waiting for your good news in Changle Palace."

After saying that, He Chongyi stood up and left. Even though many teacups and cup lids flew around him, he still walked steadily.

After opening the door, He Chongyi turned her head to face He Jieyu who was breathing heavily, and smiled, "The palace rules have clear requirements. The bills sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are very shady. Sister, please don't throw them around next time."

boom--

He Chongyi left the room and called the maids from Qimei Palace with a stern face, "Take good care of your master. If there is anything, go to Furong Palace to ask for the Queen."

Although she has not been officially canonized yet, the decree has been issued and it is not excessive to respectfully address the one in Furong Palace as Empress Dowager.

There seemed to be the sound of porcelain breaking behind her, but because of the door, He Chongyi could not hear it clearly.

After giving a few brief instructions, He Chongyi led his men away, leaving the palace maids of Qimei Palace looking at each other, and finally dispersed.

"Wow wow wow, wow wow wow, host host, this is really big news!"

The system's chattering made Shen Yao's ears hurt. She hurriedly put down the empress's wedding dress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She raised her hand and rubbed her brows, "What's wrong?" It was not easy for her to be happy for a few days.

'Hehehe, host, Concubine He of Qimei Palace just told a big secret about the He family and even the Jiangnan clan.'

Listening to the system's despicable tone, Shen Yao felt helpless.

'Oh, a big secret, don't you know that what can be told is not a secret? 'It is a secret that only you know.

When something is shouted out and known to the whole world, it is called notification.

system:……

"Host, you should listen to the system's advice. You may be able to find something to hold against the He sisters and win over the entire Jiangnan clan to our side."

Shen Yao put down the hand that was rubbing between his eyebrows, turned around, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Tell me, if they can control the Jiangnan clan, they must have done something to deceive the emperor," otherwise there is no hope.

The system choked and stuttered as it repeated He Jieyu's words in full, with a few scenes of He Chongyi mixed in.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao put down the teacup in her hand and chuckled, "It's really interesting. Isn't this just a trick of using someone else's power to kill someone else? As long as the emperor doesn't care about it."

After all, it was not a public matter that the emperor asked his trusted ministers to select concubines from Jiangnan to enter the palace.

Most of the beauties selected were to please the emperor rather than to win over the Jiangnan clans.

Then there seems to be nothing wrong with the Jiangnan clans choosing carefully selected adopted daughters to replace their own daughters. After all, it's because the emperor loves this kind of daughter.

"The identities of these adopted daughters are not a problem, but their origins are the problem."

Shen Yao touched his chin, saying that Jiangnan has always been a prosperous place and a major area for taxation and grain production.

Many of the people in Jiangnan are villagers who migrated from surrounding areas.

"The area south of the Yangtze River is not dangerous; the dangerous part is the barbarians further south." It is no longer the territory of the Yu State, and small-scale armed conflicts take place there several times every year.

The border is unstable. The border here includes the territories on all sides of the Yu State, not just one or two places.

'System, go explore the possibility of the Jiangnan clan colluding with the Nanman.

If this speculation is true, then we can really control the Jiangnan clan.'

If this is really a big thing of confiscating property and exterminating the clan, perhaps Shen Yao will have to use the emperor to kill the Jiangnan clan's fighting spirit. After all, this is shaking the foundation of the Yu Kingdom.

We may even exaggerate a little further. A woman with foreign blood sneaked into the harem with the help of the Jiangnan clan and successfully gave birth to an imperial heir. Such operations of confusing the royal bloodline are tantamount to deceiving the emperor and the entire family should be executed.

The ancient royal families attached great importance to bloodline, and there are countless records of this in history.

The size of the Jiangnan clans' actions all depended on how the superiors thought about it. Once the true backgrounds of these girls were implicated, things would become extremely complicated.

Human nature is greedy. Just like those women who appear in brothels, how many of them do so voluntarily?

In the harem over the past few years, the number of concubines from Jiangnan has already exceeded two hands, and there will be a steady stream of people selected from Jiangnan in the future. As long as there is one with impure intentions, it will bring down all the people related to him.

system:……?!!!

The system was shocked by the host's idea. Perhaps it initially thought that this was just an ordinary case of mistaken identity, but after listening to the host's various analyses, the system felt that its brain was not enough.

"Host, if we find out there is a real connection, should we tell the Emperor?"

'I don't know. We need to analyze the specific situation to see whether it is serious.'

'What is a serious case?'

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, "Someone really dared to get involved with the Nanman, knowing the truth but not reporting it, deliberately disrupting the situation."

The area south of the Yangtze River is difficult to deal with because it is too rich and prosperous. Most of the annual expenditure of the State of Yu is supported by the supply from south of the Yangtze River. If the supply is suddenly cut off, it would be more terrible than unrest in the court.

"Be careful, and mainly monitor the concubines from the Jiangnan faction in the harem. They should be generally safe. "Otherwise, they would have been dug out by the gossip-loving system long ago.

The system guarantees that it will do so, and by the way, it will also monitor the Jiangnan officials in the court. With these two approaches working together, any problems will not escape its eyes.

…………

Time quickly came to February. In addition to the emperor's birthday, there was also Shen Yao's enthronement ceremony.

The Imperial Household Department changed the empress's auspicious attire again and again, and finally she did not embarrass herself on the day of the enthronement ceremony.

Shen Yao attended the event in her best attire and worshipped the ancestors of the Yu State with the emperor.

Listening to the people below the stairs calling out "Empress", Shen Yao felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

No matter how difficult this step was, she still did it.

That night, Shen Yao and Yu Yu, who had already moved into Fengyi Palace, drank their wedding wine.

The sense of ceremony of the successor queen is not as good as that of the original queen, but Yu Yu also compensated in other aspects, including the palace power and phoenix seal that were scattered earlier, which are now gathered in Shen Yao's hands.

It can be said that Shen Yao is now the true mistress of the harem, and all the mundane affairs of the harem are decided by her.

"This palace is new to being the Queen, so there are some things I am not familiar with, such as the daily greetings. Coming every day does disturb the rest of the sisters.

So they temporarily decided to greet each other in the morning once every three days, excluding the first and fifteenth days.

What do you think, sisters? "

A new official has three things to do when he takes office, but Shen Yao can only pay his respects after a long delay.

Shen Yao stated her purpose with a smile, and then asked Xiaoji to bring the gift that had been prepared earlier. She followed the etiquette perfectly.

During this period, even if someone was unhappy (especially Concubine He), they could only complain in a low voice. On the surface, everyone was very respectful and docile.

"I am a little tired, so I will leave first. My sisters can do as they please."

"Your humble concubine respectfully sends off Her Majesty the Queen"

Not long after Shen Yao left, the other people who had gathered in Fengyi Palace also slowly dispersed.

Xiaoji leaned over to Shen Yao and whispered something. Shen Yao smiled and nodded, "Go and arrange it."
