Ah Man murmured in his heart, this petty Canglang King had clearly agreed that she would be granted the title of first-class concubine if she was willing to sleep with him. Now, when she woke up, she actually got a discount and became a concubine of the fifth-class.
What kind of grace is this?
Ah Manzheng was very angry at Cang Lang King's breach of trust, and even planned to settle the score with him next time he saw him.
Ah Man, who didn't understand the many tricks in the harem, never realized that he was currently in a state of divine favor, and that he was at his most prosperous.
Danger is approaching.
After Concubine Yuan heard the report from her wet nurse, Grandma Zhang, she looked in disbelief.
Concubine Yuan asked Aunt Zhang: "What did you say? Just now Xiao Dezi went over to announce the decree and promoted her to Wanyi?"
Nanny Zhang's stooped body bowed even lower. She was silent and did not dare to speak, but her eyes could not hide the sadness that she felt.
Concubine Yuan slumped down from the mat where she was kneeling in the Buddhist hall and fell to the ground. She murmured: "Why? Why on earth does she have?! My father fought on the battlefield to expand the territory for your majesty. But your majesty did not care about such a foreign country.
A barbarian woman promised a high position! What is her origin, and what is mine? I am His Majesty’s cousin? She is just a bloodthirsty maniac who has an sworn hatred against our Canglang Kingdom! Why does she get the favor so easily?
?Why do you jump several levels at once? The rank of Canglang harem is so low and so easy to get?"
Grandma Zhang cupped her hands and said, "I'm scared."
So, Concubine Yuan seemed to have made up her mind. She stood up and said to Aunt Zhang: "Auntie, please come with me to the side hall. She has served His Majesty and has done a great job. I will reward her heavily."
"When the words came to the end, Concubine Yuan's face was quite ferocious, as if she was gnashing her teeth.
Mammy was puzzled, but she followed Concubine Yuan out without asking any more questions.
-
Side hall.
Just when Youbai whispered that he could use the reward money to buy food, and Xueping was hiding in the corner counting the broken silver one by one, a message came from outside the door: "Empress Yuan Fei has arrived~"
"This is a rare visitor." Ningdong was a little confused. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Aman with a frown.
"I'm afraid I didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Isn't the weasel not well-intentioned in paying New Year greetings to the rooster?" Qingqiu muttered in a low voice.
Shangguan Qingluan knocked Qingqiu on the head and said: "How can you talk so much? Maybe someone will really come to visit us. After all, we live in the same house, at least in the Yuanjia Palace, so we don't look up when we lower our heads.
See you."
Qingqiu exaggeratedly covered his head, pouting aggrievedly, and said coquettishly to Shangguan Qingluan: "As for Liangdi, you are kind-hearted. You are kind to everyone, but you are especially cruel to slaves."
Shangguan Qingluan touched Qingqiu's head and said, "I'll compensate you later, okay?"
Qingqiu immediately clapped her hands excitedly and said: "That's great!".
At this moment, Concubine Yuan officially entered the door, and everyone quickly bowed and saluted.
Ah Man, however, stood silently looking at Concubine Yuan. As the saying goes, if the enemy does not move, I will not move. Before you understand the opponent's purpose, you should not act rashly.
Shangguan Qingluan, who was enthusiastic and generous, took the initiative to greet her. She walked to Concubine Yuan warmly, took Concubine Yuan's hand and said, "It's rare that Concubine Yuan's sister is here, but I don't know what to teach her?"
Regarding Shangguan Qingluan's undue familiarity, Concubine Yuan endured it silently and did not dodge away.
Concubine Yuan pretended to be gentle and smiled naturally. She raised her eyes and looked at Ah Man and said: "I heard that my two concubines in Yuanjia Palace have been favored by the Holy Spirit and have been promoted to a new rank. I specially come to congratulate you two with gifts.
I have worked hard to serve His Majesty, and I will be richly rewarded."
On the side, Youbai and Xueping both had radiant looks in their eyes, and they couldn't help but beam with joy.
Shangguan Qingluan quickly taught them a lesson: "Xueping, Youbai, don't be rude."
Concubine Yuan still smiled dignifiedly and said, "It doesn't matter, everyone in Yuanjia Palace is celebrating. Everyone has a share of this reward."
Xueping and Youbai immediately jumped up with excitement. Later, when they saw Ningdong frowning at them and shaking his head, they finally realized that their behavior was inappropriate, so with a "plop", they knelt down heavily on the ground and begged for strength.
Concubine, forgive me.
However, Concubine Yuan was not angry. She said as cheerfully as ever: "It doesn't matter, let's all get up. Don't be cautious."
Xueping and Youbai immediately expressed their gratitude to Concubine Yuan, saying that Concubine Yuan was simply the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva.
Concubine Yuan still stood there, but smiled and said nothing.
Then, at Concubine Yuan's signal, Aunt Zhang divided the rewards among everyone. Unlike Canglang King who had several boxes brought in and allowed them to allocate them by themselves, Concubine Yuan's reward for each person was fixed.
After the rewards were distributed, everyone was very happy and shouted again that Concubine Yuan lived a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years.
However, Aman is like a cowhide lantern, no light can be seen through.
Ah Man just stood there quietly, silent and unmoved.
Concubine Yuan, who was also standing quietly, suddenly burst into laughter after confronting Ah Man for a moment.
Everyone, including Aunt Zhang, were stunned. Who has seen an immortal smile like this? It seems that Concubine Yuan has returned to the human world.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched. Concubine Yuan walked over while smiling. Like Shangguan Qingluan, she gently held Aman's hand and said, "Oh, good sister. I heard you are quite worthy."
Holy pet, everyone is happy for you? Look at you now, dull and dull, and you are still in the midst of blessings and don't know how blessed you are?"
Aman looked through her nose, nose and heart, but she still couldn't figure out the purpose of Concubine Yuan's visit. So she pursed her lips and smiled, but her eyes looked sharply through Concubine Yuan's eyes, as if she wanted to look into her heart.
Aman said: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. How can you know it's not a blessing? Only by taking care of yourself can you protect yourself." To be honest, Aman actually didn't know what she said. She just told her
All the literate words that I know are put together to bluff this empress Yuan Fei. Shouldn't it be so Zen and profound to talk to immortals who don't eat fireworks? Aman was very impressed with his sudden literary talent.
Fei Ran, very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, after Concubine Yuan heard this, she choked and tightened her hands so hard that it hurt Aman.
Ah Man didn't shake it away, and actually took the initiative to hold it back. The strength was many times stronger than that held by Concubine Yuan.
As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. In the end, Concubine Yuan was the first to throw away her hand in pain.
Ah Man said with disdain: "Ah, could it be that Concubine Yuan dislikes Ah Man?"
Concubine Yuan glared at Aman and said: "You..." After that, she swallowed back what she was about to say. Then she said "hum" and said "let's go", then turned around and took Madam Zhang with her.
Grandma is getting ready to leave.
As Concubine Yuan and her party were about to walk out of the door, Aman seized the last chance and showed off his literary talents again.
Ah Man muttered: "Emptiness is form, form is emptiness!"
Concubine Yuan stumbled and almost fell. Finally, with the help of Aunt Zhang, she left in embarrassment.
After Concubine Yuan left, Ningdong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Ningdong approached Aman and asked with concern: "Is Miss Aman okay?"
Ah Man looked at his hands that were once stained with blood and asked, "What can happen to me?"
Qingqiu hurriedly walked to the door to see if Concubine Yuan and the others had gone far. After reading it, she muttered again: "I'm afraid it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. Fortunately, Miss Aman is here to send this plague god away.
Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen. It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. The most poisonous woman’s heart is.”
Youbai and Xueping, however, looked ignorant and contented with the rewards. They all said: "No, we think that Concubine Yuan is very good. She has given so many rewards and has the heart of a Bodhisattva, but she didn't follow her."
We, the little ones, just care about it."
But Qingqiu showed his teeth and claws to scare Youbai and Xueping: "In this harem, there are many monsters that bite people. If you don't watch out, you may be eaten!"
Immediately, Youbai and Xueping were frightened until their faces turned pale.
Youbai trembled and said, "Sister Qingqiu knows how to scare people. I...I went to exchange the reward for food." After saying that, Youbai turned around and ran away.
Qingqiu stamped her feet behind Youbai and said angrily: "You know how to eat and eat all day long, but Youbai is just a snack and doesn't know how to do anything."
Xueping also took a few steps back. She grasped her reward in fear and said: "I...I'm going to count my money too. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that there are monsters in the harem who steal people's money."
After that, Xueping also ran away.
In the end, Qingqiu was left standing there alone, still wanting to perform with high spirits, but unable to find an audience.
Ningdong shook his head and said to Qingqiu: "Don't blame them. We are all poor children."
Ah Man looked at Ningdong deeply.
Ningdong said: "Don't look at what Youbai does in daily life. She spends a lot of the money she earns in the palace on food. That's because Youbai comes from Wu Town, the northernmost town of Canglang Country.
.Wuzhen is close to the Northern Desert, with very little rain and drought all year round. In recent years, the Dragon King has not paid attention to it, and the drought has caused no grass to grow. It was because of the famine in her hometown that Xiaobai watched her parents and brothers starve to death in front of her. She was willing to
She was sold into the palace by human traffickers. According to Youbai, there has been a situation of cannibalism in her hometown. If she doesn't leave, I'm afraid she will be eaten."
After hearing this, Aman looked into the distance, as if she was about to see Youbai's hometown directly. She told Canglang King that her dream was that people in the world would no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold. But how easy is it?
Ningdong continued: "As for Xueping, she is a money addict. Now that everyone can't find her, she is probably hiding and counting money again. Xueping's biggest interest is counting money. She said she likes to hear numbers.
Those tinkling sounds when making money. Xueping said that the sound of counting money was the most pleasant, and she felt at ease listening to it. In fact, Xueping did not like to count money. She was weighing it all day long, and the money was enough.
Not enough for her to redeem herself."
Qingqiu asked nervously: "Ningdong, when did you become a close sister? You actually know their affairs so clearly. Youbai and Xueping have never mentioned it to me. And Xueping?"
Why does she want to leave the palace all day long? Isn't she unhappy staying here? "
