MTL - My Dear, She is Always Unmotivated-Chapter 1 The harem is a battlefield

Chapter 1 The harem is a battlefield

“You should at least learn from others. Last month Li Baolin met the emperor in the imperial garden. Now he is also very favored. He has served him three times this month.” Zi Rui muttered.

"What should I learn from her? Dancing in the imperial garden on a hot day? I'm afraid of heatstroke." Shen Chuliu spoke softly, but looked uninterested.

“Then you should follow Lu Baolin’s example and make embroidery work for the Queen. You have also asked the Queen to arrange for her to sleep with you several times.”

"You don't know that I'm not good at embroidery? I'm so tired. I'm blinded by embroidery." Shen Chuliu still didn't care.

"Then you learn from Ning Cairen and write well..."

"Okay, okay, the time is coming, hurry up and comb my hair." Shen Chuliu sighed: "How can you repeat it every day without getting bored? I don't take care of you much, but aren't you also Baolin? Why are you so anxious? ah?"

"But it's been more than a year since you entered the palace! You were Baolin when you entered the palace, but you are better than them all. Now they have caught up!" Zi Rui said, but her hand movements were still a little faster. .

“There are so many people in the emperor’s harem, is it possible that I have to pass them by? I am the eighth grade when I enter the palace, why should I be anxious?”

 “That’s not because of family!” Zi Rui was anxious.

Shen Chuliu smiled softly: "That's all you know this. You have such a calm temperament, but after more than a year in the palace, you have become impatient. I can be better than them when I first entered the palace, and I will be the same in the future. What are you in a hurry for?" Seeing that Shen Chuliu had finished dressing up, he put on a pair of earrings for himself: "Let's go, it's important to pay regards to the Queen."

Since he lived far away and could not walk, Shen Chuliu could only walk with his girl Zirui.

I met Yao Baolin when I went out. This one came from Qiandi. She is the oldest among the concubines in the harem. She is two years older than the emperor. She is already twenty-six this year.

Although twenty-six seems to be fine, in the harem, without favor, no heirs, and no support from the natal family, this is a lifelong outcome.

 After the two people greeted each other, they went to the Queen's Palace together.

Fengzao Palace is on the central axis of the palace, but Cuiyunxuan where they live is at the southeast corner of the harem, so it is really not close to pay their respects.

“Sister, have you heard that there was a scene in the middle of the night last night?” Yao Baolin said with a smile.

"What's the matter? I was so sleepy last night that I didn't hear it." Shen Chuliu was curious.

"Didn't the emperor stay at Li Jieyu's Bailu Pavilion yesterday? In the middle of the night, it was said that Cao Meiren called the imperial doctor, saying that she had abdominal pain and dizziness. After checking, it turned out that she was pregnant, so the emperor was called to Qiushui Pavilion in the middle of the night. . Now, Li Jieyu is very angry. Just wait and see, there will be a show to greet you this morning. "

Shen Chuliu smiled: "That was a great show. This is also a blessing for Miss Cao."

“No, but the relationship between Li Jieyu and Cao Meiren can be considered settled.” Yao Baolin said with a smile.

 Shen Chuliu said nothing and nodded.

  No, although pregnancy is a big deal, in this harem, being beard-cut is also a big deal.

Jieyu is of the fourth rank, and Beauty is of the fifth rank, both of whom can live alone in a pavilion.

But beauty is of a lower level after all. Even if she is pregnant, she will not alarm the emperor in the middle of the night. This is probably intentional because of the pampering of the servant.

However, there are very few heirs in the emperor's harem. Now that Cao Mei has a child, as long as she can give birth to a child, she will be promoted to the throne. Then she will also be Jieyu, and she will have heirs, so she won't be too sad.

 It's just that Li Jieyu was favored, but Cao Meiren didn't serve the emperor much.

“Speaking of which, Concubine Yi has always been favored, but she’s not even pregnant.” Yao Baolin whispered.

Shen Chuliu nodded, but that’s not the case. Concubine Yi is the emperor’s favorite concubine. Although it was only a second-grade concubine, it was sealed after she ascended the throne.

The two of them arrived at Fengzao Palace, neither too early nor too late, and there were still people who hadn’t come yet.

 They are just Baolin, and they are not favored. Besides, they are not the protagonists today, so everyone just said hello politely, accepting gifts where they should be received, and returning gifts to those who should be reciprocated.

 The excitement didn’t start until He Xiuyi and Song Xiurong, who were the ninth concubines, arrived.

He Xiuyi talked a lot, and Shen Chuliu always suspected that it was because she nagged too much that the emperor treated her indifferently. Otherwise, she gave birth to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was fine, but she was only one of the nine concubines. Not even the first of the nine concubines. “Hey, I’m not too late today.” She smiled.

 Everyone stood up to pay her respects.

"Li Jieyu, did you sleep well last night?" He Xiuyi asked one of today's protagonists as he sat down.

This is really a pot that cannot be opened or lifted. No one directly provoked her, so she asked directly.

But no one who arrived just now has a higher status than Li Jieyu, so he didn't dare to speak directly.

"Thank you for your concern, Xiuyi. I am very kind." Li Jieyu looked down on He Xiuyi.

 Speaking of which, among the three most favored concubines in the harem today, Yi Fei is the first to bear the brunt. She is the only second-grade concubine with a title.

 The second is Li Jieyu, and the third is Ning Cai.

Compared to He Xiuyi who has not taken over for ten thousand years, Li Jieyu is not inferior at all.

 “Mother Concubine Shu has arrived.” someone said.

 Everyone stood up to say hello.

Feng Shufei is the female concubine in the harem second only to the queen, with a rank of first-grade concubine. Among the four positions of noble virtues and virtues, there is only one like this now.

But her status is different, and she is the only prince of the emperor, the second prince, so it is naturally impossible for her not to have a high position.

 When it comes to pampering, she doesn't need to practice any good etiquette.

 Following this, Yi Fei arrived.

 Yifei was naturally extremely beautiful, with autumn eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows. Liu Fufeng's figure is weak and her skin is like snow and jade. Both charming and charming.

Especially because she plays the piano very well and has a nice name, Hu Nanfeng.

Well, to be honest, Shen Chuliu was furious the first time he heard it, but the emperor thought it sounded good.

So he recited the phrase "The south wind knows my will and blows my dreams to the Western Zhou Dynasty". He also said that the south wind was connected with my mind, so he gave me the title: Yi.

Shen Chuliu has always thought, since we have the same mind, why not call each other?

 Ahem, but after all, this is indeed a beauty with outstanding appearance and talents.

 The only shortcoming is that her family background is not good, otherwise she would be one of the four concubines of the first rank.

 Everyone paid their respects to Concubine Yi, who in turn paid their respects to Concubine Feng Shu.

The queen also came out, and everyone paid their respects to the queen again.

"Everyone, sit down. It's not the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, so you don't have to go to the queen mothers' palaces. Just sit here in this palace. Cao Meiren felt unwell with fetal movement last night and asked for leave," the queen said.

Everyone looked at each other and realized that the other one didn't come.

"Normally, it's a happy event for this beauty Cao to be pregnant, but this earth-shattering thing in the middle of the night is also unreasonable." He Xiuyi said.

Just now she was laughing at Li Jieyu, but now she started talking about Beauty Cao again. This is also the reason why she is not popular with others.

No one likes someone who talks a lot and is double-dealing.

　　【A few regular beeps, first of all, if you want to see a pair of couples, you can leave. Secondly, I don’t abuse. Secondly, this is fiction, so don’t compare it with history. Some of the positions in the harem were taken from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but there were also changes. Are there any old readers left? The first book is there. Raise your hand and let me take a look? 】

A new book has been opened, I love you.
