Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Under normal circumstances, Emperor Yongqing would not come to the Queen's place except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month unless something happened, so it was normal for An Ran to be surprised when Emperor Yongqing came again today.

An Ran saw that Emperor Yongqing came again differently than usual. Although he was surprised, he didn't say anything. After all, he was the emperor. It was his right to go wherever he wanted. There was nothing for others to question.

So he immediately dined with Emperor Yongqing, during which time he told Emperor Yongqing that a martial arts master had been arranged for the prince.

Emperor Yongqing said: "Just make arrangements."

Emperor Yongqing would not interfere with everything. Naturally, the queen would handle such small matters by herself. If she had to arrange everything by herself, he would not be able to handle it.

The evening was still a good one.

This happened for several days in a row, which naturally caused ripples in the harem.

The concubines in the harem were worried that after the newcomer came in, new favorite concubines would appear and compete with them for favor. As a result, after the newcomer was elected, the emperor never went there, but stayed in the queen's palace every night. What kind of thing is this? , especially the newcomers who came in with longings, couldn't help but be disappointed after seeing that they had been in the palace for many days, not to mention being favored, but not even lucky. The most disappointed among them was undoubtedly Cao Rui.

In fact, Cao Rui did not have to participate in the palace election. After all, the dynasty did not force court ladies to participate in the election. However, time travel and mind reading made her feel that she could enter the palace and give it a try, and she might be able to sit in the supreme position. Where's the seat? If she could, why would she marry someone else and pay homage to those noble people in the future? Besides, I heard that the emperor is only about thirty years old and is not old, so she can accept it. If it is a bad old man in his fifties or sixties, she may not be willing, but a young man in his thirties, she is willing.

So when the family was discussing whether to send her to participate in the palace election, she pretended to have a clear sense of justice and expressed her willingness to go in and fight for the family. This naturally made Ben, who was a mind reader, fall in love with her. As a result, everyone in the Cao family fell in love with her more and more. When she entered the palace, everyone in the family voluntarily contributed money and collected tens of thousands of taels of silver for her to bring into the palace so that she could take care of herself. For the Cao family, tens of thousands taels is not a small amount.

She thought that after entering the palace, she would be able to soar quickly with the help of time travel and golden fingers. Who knew that it had been a long time since she entered the palace and she hadn't even met the emperor. Naturally, she was disappointed and wondered if she should Take the initiative.

Not talking about Cao Rui's thoughts, but talking about the ripples in the harem, Lu Zhu, who had always helped An Ran pay attention to the movements of all parties, soon heard about it. At that moment, Lu Zhu told An Ran about the matter with worry: "Mother, do you want to persuade her?" Please advise Your Majesty to go to the other ladies as well, lest they be dissatisfied?"

Although An Ran was surprised by what Emperor Yongqing did and knew that Emperor Yongqing would cause trouble in the harem if he did so, she was not someone who was afraid of trouble. Naturally, she would not persuade Emperor Yongqing not to come to her place and to go to other sisters. , the rain and dew are all wet, she has never been the one to persuade her husband to do that kind of thing, so after listening to Luzhu's words, she shook her head and said: "If they are dissatisfied, they will go to your majesty. Can I influence who your majesty wants to sleep with? Really?" After doing this, don’t you want to make His Majesty unhappy? Then why should I make His Majesty unhappy for the sake of outsiders? I’m not a fool.”

Luzhu heard what the queen said and thought it was true, so she stopped trying to persuade her.

Fortunately, Emperor Yongqing also went to see other concubines, and the excitement in the palace calmed down.

In fact, it was not that Emperor Yongqing wanted to go to the other concubines, but that the other concubines saw that the emperor always went to the Queen's Palace, so they began to take the initiative, sending food, and met by chance, I don't know how many. Emperor Yongqing saw them working hard to seduce him, Sometimes he would go along with the flow, but more often he felt that these concubines were boring and still ran to Anran Palace.

Naturally, Cao Rui was also the one who took the initiative.

only……

"What does Cao Cairen want to do?"

On this day, Cao Rui finally heard the shout of "The Emperor has arrived" from outside, and wanted to go out to greet the Emperor. When he got in touch with the Emperor, he finally took the palace maid out of the courtyard, and heard a gloomy questioning voice coming from outside. See At that time, it was the old nanny who had been guarding him before.

After hearing her question, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel numb. He held on and said, "Your Majesty is here, I should pick him up."

The old nun sneered and said: "Your Majesty is looking for our empress. What's the matter with you? It's your turn to pick me up?"

After saying that, she came up and pushed Cao Rui. The old lady was very strong and pushed Cao Rui into the yard. She shouted contemptuously: "Come in and stay there! How dare you do it under the nose of our master?" I think you don’t want to play this kind of trick!”

Cao Rui was furious, but had no choice but to go in bitterly, watching helplessly as the opportunity to meet the emperor was missed.

Yes, Cao Rui wanted to take the initiative, but she was being stared at by Concubine Liu. It was very difficult for her to take the initiative, because every time she wanted to do something, she would always be discovered by Concubine Liu, and then just like now In this way, dragging her back to his yard and letting her stay well is no different from house arrest.

But Cao Rui would not sit still and let Concubine Liu keep him under house arrest like this. After all, if he continued to be under house arrest like this, he would never be able to contact the emperor.

She originally wanted to send a message to her family, but she thought that Concubine Liu was the niece of the Queen Mother. Even if she found the family, it would be useless, so she had to start from the emperor, because as long as she got the favor, Liu Guifei would The imperial concubine is about to have nothing to do with herself.

The opportunity still came.

Even if Concubine Liu kept her locked up, she could not stop her from giving greetings to the Queen and the Queen Mother. After all, if she really dared to do this, she would be handing over the clues to her enemies in the palace, including the Queen, and then they would have to Taking this to attack her, even if she is the Queen Mother's niece, it is obviously beyond her scope of authority. Once others know about it, she will not be able to do well.

And this was her opportunity, because sometimes the emperor would pass by when greeting the queen.
