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

Chapter 220: Greetings

Chen Mi paused, nodded slightly, his eyes understanding, and felt a little emotional about what had happened in the past two days.

"You are right. Today, Concubine Lan successfully gave birth to a prince. Her promotion is inevitable. When she was having a difficult delivery, Concubine Lan allowed the Empress to return to the palace with this opportunity. The Empress is also a person who values ​​friendship. How could she not repay this kindness? Otherwise, the Empress would not have taken the initiative to ask the Emperor to give her a name directly. The Empress is just honoring Concubine Lan and her son. Even if the Emperor has no intention of promoting her, the Empress will definitely ask for a concubine for her. Only a concubine or above can raise the prince. Maybe, in the future, she will even be a consort."

Hua Ling was surprised

"A concubine? Your Majesty, now besides you and Concubine Chen, there are only two left among the four concubines. Even if Concubine Lan gave birth to a prince, it would not be easy to make her a concubine."

Chen Mi looked at the surprised Hua Ling and shook his head.

"There is nothing surprising about this. If it was just Lan Guiji and a prince, it might not be enough for her to be crowned as a concubine. But with the support of the Empress, Lan Guiji may not be unable to become a concubine. In this harem, the help of noble people is sometimes better than working hard all your life."

Hua Ling slightly opened her eyes

"My Lady, if that's what you said, then there will only be one concubine left in the future."

Chen Mi smiled and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid the emperor has already decided on the last concubine position. Anyway, we can just live our own lives in Shenguang Palace."

After Chen Mi finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to organize the things in his hands. He had no intention of continuing.

Second day

After a night of spring breeze, Xie Yu left feeling satisfied.

Before leaving, Xie Yu told Lin Junxue that he would have dinner with her in the evening.

Lin Junxue agreed with a smile. After Xie Yu left, Qiao Xin, Dan Zhen and Gu Yu came in.

In the second half of the night, Qiaoxin, the palace maids and the eunuchs had already returned to Zhonghe Palace. After a busy night, they finally managed to tidy up everything.

Zhonghe Palace has been completely renovated and has returned to its former state.

Qiao Xin and the other two came in and said, "My queen, you must be tired yesterday, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lin Junxue looked at the three people who looked tired and stood up.

"No need. You three should go and rest later. Let the maids outside serve you. You must be tired after running around all night."

The three of them were indeed tired after tossing and turning all night, so they didn't try to be brave and just nodded.

While Danzhen was dressing Lin Junxue, she said, "Your Majesty, it has been four months since the concubines came to Zhonghe Palace to pay their respects. I will help you change into that lotus-colored brocade skirt."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly and said softly, "Well, you decide."

Hall

All the concubines have arrived and are waiting, except Chen Xier.

In the past, everyone could still chat, but today, everyone was silent like a mute, and it was unusually silent.

The Queen's return to the palace and Concubine Lan's giving birth to a child were not good things for them.

Even Sun Manrou, who always liked to make sarcastic remarks, was silent, with a look of displeasure on her face.

Zheng Jin, Qin Shushu, Gu Mo, Qian Si, and the newly appointed people were all there, and they all had their own plans.

Chen Mi, Zhang Yuyan and Sun Shunyi sat in a row and talked to each other for a few words. The atmosphere between the three of them became much better.

Zhang Yuyan looked particularly happy. She was in a very good mood and could improve the Queen's favorability again.

Yesterday, she went home and had a long sleep, and she felt very energetic.

Looking at the expressions of Sun Manrou, Zheng Jin and others opposite her, she took a sip of tea happily.

As soon as the Queen returns to the palace, so many people will have trouble sleeping!

"The Queen has arrived"

Chen Mi, Sun Manrou and the concubines stood up

"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"

Lin Junxue walked out from behind the curtain, walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at the people who came to pay their respects, and said calmly, "Everyone, get up."

All the concubines stood up and looked up at Lin Junxue. The queen looked and looked better than before. How could that be?

Shouldn't the queen be crying and feeling sad every day in the palace?

How could she look even better? This is too unreasonable.

Lin Junxue saw everyone's gazes and remained calm, cool and elegant.

She picked up the teacup with her bare hands and gently skimmed off the foam, allowing the concubines below to look at her.

Sun Manrou couldn't help but said jealously, "Your Majesty, the water in this palace is really nourishing. I see that your skin is better than before."

Lin Junxue smiled slightly when she heard the sourness in Sun Manrou's tone.

It has been four months since she left the palace, but Concubine Chen is still so "cute" and doesn't hide her little thoughts at all.

Lin Junxue put down the teacup

"It has nothing to do with the water in the palace. I am naturally beautiful and I look the same wherever I am."

Sun Manrou choked. The Queen was still so shameless in her words, but she couldn't refute her, which was very infuriating.

Sun Man turned her head away angrily and stopped talking.

Zheng Jin and other newcomers had never seen this side of Lin Junxue before, and they were stunned for a moment.

Chen Mi, Sun Shunyi and others had seen this several times this year and had gotten used to it.

Zhang Yuyan couldn't help laughing. When she laughed, Sun Manrou became even angrier and glared at her.

Zhang Yuyan smiled and said, "I think the Queen is naturally beautiful. If the Concubine thinks the water in the palace is good, why not stay there for a while and see how it works?"

All the concubines in the harem had experienced Zhang Yuyan's sharp tongue, and no one said a word.

If it were normal, Qin Shushu and Sun Manrou would have stood together.

She would definitely say something for Sun Manrou, but now, she was not stupid, so she dared not say a word.

Sun Manrou slammed the table, glared at Zhang Yuyan, and pointed her finger.

"You, Yan Zhaoyi..."

Zhang Yuyan looked at Lin Junxue aggrievedly, and Lin Junxue smiled dotingly

Then, looking at Sun Manrou who had stood up, he said in a neither light nor heavy voice:

"Princess Chen, sit down."

These four words hit Sun Manrou's heart, and she sat down angrily.

Lin Junxue said, "Empress Chen, Concubine Yan is joking with you, sisters in the harem, let's have a few jokes."

Sun Manrou knew that Zhang Yuyan was protected by Lin Junxue, but now, she could no longer afford to offend the queen.

"Empress, I was just excited. You are right. The sisters in the harem were just joking. I won't take it to heart."

Lin Junxue said "hmm" nonchalantly.

Then, she looked at Zheng Jin and the others, "Jin Ronghua, Shu Jieyu, Mo Guiren, Si Guiren, come forward."

Zheng Jin and the other three who were called quickly stood up and stepped forward.

Lin Junxue waved her hand, and Danzhen and Guyu walked down with the trays.

Lin Junxue smiled and said, "Since the four of you have all been canonized, I was away from the palace for some time. Now that I am back, I will make up for your canonization ceremony. From now on, you will all be the sisters who serve the emperor."

Zheng Jin, Qin Shushu and the other two knelt on the ground to express their gratitude. After they stood up, their personal maids took away the rewards and the four of them stepped aside.

Sitting in the main seat, Lin Junxue took in the expressions of the four people.

Gu Mo and Qian Si, who are not favored, still appear to be very well-behaved.

Qin Shushu's every move also showed a bit of arrogance and pride.

As for Zheng Jin? He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. It seemed that he was also a good actor.
