Chapter 498 499: The real test begins

In the past, the war between the two countries was tense, with victory and defeat possible. Since Feng Yi killed corrupt officials in front of the battle, it has greatly boosted morale. Food and ammunition from the Ministry of Revenue have arrived, and reinforcements from the Ministry of War have been put in place. The war with Beiming has advanced very quickly. .

Good news has been frequently returned to the capital, and now everyone in the harem is looking happy, just waiting for His Majesty to capture Beiming and return to the capital in triumph.

 It is precisely because of this joyful atmosphere that this year’s draft is no longer as coy and secretive as it was last year, and it has a sense of fanfare.

It seems that I can present my beauty to His Majesty when he returns.

Concubine Shu looked at the imperial concubine with a calm expression. She felt that she was really in a hurry when the emperor was not in a hurry and the **** was not. Why was she so anxious?

Song Yunzhao caught Concubine Shu rolling her eyes.

 The two people looked at each other.

Concubine Shu coughed lightly, and then said: "I am a little sleepy."

 “Sister Concubine Shu handles palace affairs and it is indeed very hard.”

 Shu Fei:…

“You’re just mocking me here, pretending I can’t hear it? I’m really kind-hearted, so I’ll take it for granted...”

 The second half of the sentence was not very pleasant, so she swallowed it back in time, but who doesn’t know what the second half of this sentence is?

Song Yunzhao sighed, "I know that Sister Shu Fei has good intentions, but the draft is a major national event. How can I use my hands as a chariot? If the news reaches the previous dynasty, the censor's excerpts will drown me."

Concubine Shu said coquettishly, "I don't have anything else to do, I'm just a little worried about you."

"With these words from Concubine Shu, I am satisfied. We have known each other for so many years, and we know everything about it. You said that the Queen Mother took Mrs. Gu Enhou into the palace years ago. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is just to suppress my arrogance. , remind me, it’s for the draft after the year.” Song Yunzhao said.

 Neither An Ling nor An Shutong could make a big splash because of their relationship with the Queen Mother.

Qin Xiyue also fell. Yun Zhao should be able to rest easy, but last year another Zhao family appeared, and this Zhao family is also an important figure in the second half of the book.

　　But it’s just from a daughter to a mother.

 In the book, Zhao Ling'e's daughter married Qin Xiyue's crown prince's son and took the position of crown princess.

 Now, it is Zhao Ling'e who wants to enter the palace to compete with her.

Song Yunzhao wanted to tell himself that he didn't care, but for some reason, he always felt that he shouldn't ignore this person.

More importantly, the book only has a specific description of Zhao Ling'e's daughter. Zhao Ling'e is briefly mentioned. She knows nothing about her temperament and temperament, except that she is a smart person and a beauty.

 It was impossible for Yun Zhao to express these worries to Concubine Shu, and there was no way to explain them.

She can't guarantee whether the Zhao family will run for the election. She can only say that the Zhao family did have this intention last year. As for whether they will send someone to the palace this year, it has yet to be determined.

Since he could not refuse, Song Yunzhao simply followed the trend.

This is not the first draft in the palace since she entered the palace. Speaking of which, she has been by the emperor's side for so many years and has given birth to two princes one after another. She has always been the emperor's favorite. I don't know how many people outside want to push her down. Go down.

Anyone would think this way. The imperial concubine gave birth to two sons in a row. Even if they are outstanding in appearance, now several years have passed, how can they compare with the delicate and tender little girl.

Your Majesty has devoted himself entirely to state affairs in the past few years, and the women in the harem have been too involved with the previous dynasty, so he also has some dislikes, dislikes, and fears in his heart.

Just looking at the concubine’s background, we can know that His Majesty prefers those whose family background is not that outstanding.

However, things are different now. This time, Dachu is sure to win the battle with Beiming. His Majesty's internal and external worries are gone, and he no longer has any worries, so he will naturally focus on the beauty.

Concubine Ming just took advantage of a good opportunity and is smarter, but Your Majesty should be tired of it after so many years, right?

Song Yunzhao knew what others were thinking without having to guess. She called Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan over, and the four of them sat down to have a meal together. Concubine Zhuang drank too much, and with misty eyes, she said to Song Yunzhao: "If it weren't for the imperial concubine, how could I have the concubine position now? No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by the imperial concubine."

The reason for the collapse of the Wang family was very complicated. The left and right parties were involved, and many courtiers in the court followed suit and added insult to injury.

Concubine Zhuang did not hate Concubine Shu, nor did she hate Concubine Gui. She did not blame her father for being too aggressive and losing his Sacred Heart. Fortunately, she still had her life saved in the end.

Compared to those families whose nests are overturned without eggs left intact, she has to burn incense and worship Buddha to repay the divine grace and remember the past.

She thought that this was the case in the palace, but in the end, she returned to the position of Zhuang Concubine because of the imperial concubine.

Concubine Zhuang never told anyone about the joys and sorrows in her heart. Ever since the fall of the Wang family, she greeted everyone she saw with a smile.

 Isn’t she feeling uncomfortable?

However, it was the imperial concubine who sent her on errands, found things to do, diverted her attention, gave her honor and status, and gave her back her lost concubine.

 In her heart, the concubine’s kindness will never be repaid in her lifetime.

When Concubine Zhuang cried, Concubine Wan also felt a little melancholy. Her natal family was better off than the Wang family, but it was only a little better.

Concubine Wan was not a person who was good at talking about things. She toasted the concubine with a glass of wine and said: "From now on, I will make more fragrant recipes for the empress."

 Let you make money to spend.

Concubine Shu looked at one of them who was crying to express their loyalty, and one who was fond of his technology. Then she looked at herself, and she fell silent.

 Song Yunzhao was overjoyed, he was really happy today.

If word got out that she could have such a relationship with the emperor's concubine, who would believe it?

 Originally, they were supposed to be love rivals, fighting to the death.

 The result turned out to be like this.

 Actually, the most important reason why we have reached this point is that the three concubines all know that the emperor is jealous of their family, so it doesn't matter whether they are beautiful, virtuous or talented.

 From the time they were sent to the palace by their families, they had already touched His Majesty's pain points and destined their future in the harem.

It wasn’t Song Yunzhao, it could be Li Yunzhao, Zhang Yunzhao, or some other Yunzhao.

It was because of thinking clearly that I realized that there was no conflict of interest between them and the imperial concubine. Some of it had always been the Sacred Heart's precautions and displeasure.

Now think about it, when they first entered the palace, they were also the apple of the family's eye. They also dreamed of being liked by His Majesty, giving birth to their own children, and staying with them for the rest of their lives.

 But they later understood that this was destined to be impossible after they entered the palace.

They felt bitter, uncomfortable, and unwilling to give up, so they made things difficult for Song Yunzhao several times after entering the palace, hoping to compete with her.

Now that I think about it, it’s a joke. This is all His Majesty’s intention. What does it have to do with her?

Several people were very drunk, and all of them were helped back home.

Yun Zhao was also a little drunk, and pictures kept flashing through his mind, from the past life, from this life, good, bad, happy, sad...

She knew that Feng Yi had completely controlled the power of the government, and the personal battle with Beiming had completely shaken the monarch's power into the hearts of the people, and her trough had really begun.

 When a man is at a low point, he can stay with you forever and have a deep love for you.

 But when he can do whatever he wants, take control of the power, and have too many choices, it will be the real test of their relationship in the past few years.
