In September, Guan Jiaojiao entered the palace.
Jin Xin asked the emperor what he wanted and gave the concubine the throne.
Shun concubine.
Respect and submissiveness, this is also the emperor's expectation.
With her family background, it would be difficult to be given a noble person. If the daughter of a sixth-grade official was not lucky enough to be selected into the palace, she would at best be given a talented person or noble status.
As the daughter of a fifth-grade prefect, Sun Yixue was only ranked among the nobles. Guan Jiaojiao was able to get the concubine title, which was considered a great blessing for her.
However, living alone in Changle Palace, with such honor and favor, it is rare to be stared at.
There have always been a lot of fights in the harem, but Jin Xin won't be involved in them anymore. As long as things don't affect her, she will balance the harem a little.
During the canonization ceremony, Concubine Shun raised her eyes and saw the queen's face. She was startled and felt familiar.
"Concubine, I thank the Queen, and wish the Queen good fortune and peace." Concubine Shun said, kneeling down and completing the ceremony respectfully.
"Get up, now you are also the emperor's concubine. From now on, you must respect and love each other with the sisters in the harem, serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and share the emperor's worries."
"Concubine, please keep this in mind. Thank you very much for your teachings."
Cui Gu stepped forward and helped her up.
Shun Bin met Jin Xin's face again, and she still couldn't hide her expression, so she was confused.
"What's wrong?" Jin Xin asked with a smile.
"Concubine, I'm sorry. I really think the queen looks very familiar. Have you seen her somewhere?" Concubine Shun asked curiously.
"We met once during your palace election." Jin Xin reminded.
Concubine Shun then remembered and said immediately, "No, it was at the Dragon Boat Race Lake in Suzhou. You were the young master. I saw you when I went to see General Gu."
Jin Xin was startled, and immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "The emperor was also there that day."
Concubine Shun was stunned for a moment, so when she went to Gu Zhao to return her things that day, she was favored by the emperor, so she lost the election and was sent to the palace again.
Shunbi lost her consciousness for a moment, realizing that she was rude, but she couldn't control her mood at all, and she actually felt a little regretful.
If she hadn't gone to the lake that day, she wouldn't have been elected to the palace.
But why should he meet Gu Zhao first and then be selected into the palace?
In fact, in the past few months, she had accepted her fate and wanted to serve the emperor with peace of mind after entering the palace without causing any trouble to her family.
At this moment, I suddenly learned that I had reached this point by accident, and I couldn't calm down anymore.
Seeing her distracted look, Jin Xin also knew that it would be difficult to talk about the palace rules next, so she said to her, "You have just entered the palace, so you should have a good rest first. When you get used to the sleeping arrangements, we will send someone back to the palace." The palace, the reception room will make arrangements."
Concubine Shun smiled gratefully upon hearing this, nodded, and was led down.
Cuigu frowned, sent her out, and then turned back.
"Concubine Shun has returned to Changle Palace. The servant looked at her and seemed very unhappy and sad." Cui Gu said.
"It's hard for her. I just hope she won't be as confused as Concubine Yu." Jin Xin said softly.
"I asked General Gu just now. I didn't know how to answer, so I made an excuse to pass it by."
Cui Gu's words made Jin Xin frown, "She asked openly?"
"yes."
"It's not a good thing that her thoughts are superficial. You can give her some advice later so that no one can take advantage of her." Jin Xin said helplessly.
Jin Xin couldn't quite understand why she cared about Gu Zhao so much. It was just a one-sided relationship, so she shouldn't be thinking about him like this.
She had never felt the urge to be in love with someone, so naturally she couldn't understand it.
But if the emperor finds out about this, both of them will have to play it out.
Nothing can happen to Gu Zhao.
Cui Gu nodded in agreement.
Gu Zhaoji had led the army seven days ago. If she knew something, she should hide her thoughts and just become the emperor's favorite concubine.
In the afternoon, the emperor came to Kunning Palace. It was obvious that he was in a good mood, with a relaxed and unconcealable smile on his brows.
During this time, he looked good and recovered well.
He had been weak some time ago and was always sleepy. The imperial doctor reduced the dosage of medicine for him and told him not to be impatient. He also felt that his body was damaged, so he obeyed and nursed back to health.
Probably because I was in a good mood, my body felt much more relaxed.
Jin Xin saluted, he stepped forward and took her hand and sat down.
"Is the Emperor here to see Sister Shun?" Jin Xin asked.
"She has just entered the palace. I am not in a hurry to see her. I came to see you. Where is Huan'er? I haven't held her in my arms for a long time." The emperor smiled.
Jin Xin asked someone to bring the princess.
A few days ago, he was always sleepy and tired, and he didn't look at the child much. Now he feels much refreshed and just comes to see the child.
The wet nurse brought the princess and put her in the arms of the emperor. The child was dressed in festive clothes and had two lovely trousers. Her eyes were big and round, she was very smart, and she was very talkative.
Everyone likes good-looking people more.
Especially Huan'er, who has a fair and tender appearance, not the slightest bit timid, and has a big temper. She can talk to anyone for a long time, and everyone wants to tease her.
The one-and-a-half-year-old baby was muttering something incomprehensible, but it didn't stop.
The emperor likes to hold her in his arms and chat with her. Although she doesn't understand, she talks very enthusiastically when the emperor responds to her. The more this happens, the more the emperor likes to tease her.
Whenever the emperor comes to Jinxin, he will interact with the princess first.
"Come, father, give me a hug. Let's miss you, father?" The emperor hugged her, grabbed her hand, and played with her little fat hands.
"No!" She put aside the emperor's hand, lay on him, stood up, and wanted to grab his hair crown.
Jin Xin looked at the princess worriedly and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the child is young, be careful of tearing it."
"It's okay. Huan'er has strong hands. I like her strong hands. I need to trim my nails. Otherwise, my father will be embarrassed, right?"
As he spoke, he used his rough chin to deliberately nudge her hand.
Huan'er was amused so much that she giggled and swayed like a fish. Her laughter echoed in the hall, which sounded particularly healing.
"Kiss, father." She could only say two words, then she pinched the emperor's face and gave him a forceful kiss.
The emperor suddenly smiled even more happily.
"When Huan'er grows up, my father will teach you riding and archery in person, okay?"
"Okay!" She answered firmly.
Jin Xin looked at her daughter smiling happily in her father's arms, and she felt happy in her heart.
Don't say anything else, but the emperor does love Huan'er very much.
Even Hong'er was not hugged by the emperor many times.
It was a warm moment when someone from outside came in and reported that Concubine Chen had hanged herself in the palace.
Jin Xin frowned, "When did it happen?"
"This morning, Concubine Chen pushed him away. When she found out, she was already out of breath."
"In that case, let's announce the mourning to others." The emperor still hugged the princess and teased her without caring at all.
The people in Jinxin kept a close eye on him, and it was not like he had committed suicide before without success.
Apparently, the emperor gave his tacit approval.
