Chapter 184 The Prince of Bo's Mansion 7
Kunning Palace.

The concubines are going crazy these days.

"Empress, I heard that Lord Ning slept in the Yangji Palace again last night. If this continues, won't the Emperor be completely seduced by him?"

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was despised by the previous emperor and was a nobody. Not to mention a princess, he wasn't even given a concubine, so Xiao Li didn't have a woman before he ascended the throne.

It was only after he ascended the throne that he held a beauty selection under the pressure of all officials. He had a very stubborn temper, and his principle was "if you don't make me happy, I won't let you be comfortable either." He wrote down the names of all the girls who were asked to be selected in a beauty contest in his little notebook. Then he selected all the daughters into the palace, but he didn't touch any of them, leaving all the beauties in the harem.

Those concubines were not easy to deal with either. When the emperor didn't come to the harem, they ran to the Shengji Palace. When Xiao Li caught them doing something wrong, he killed some, chopped some, or sent some to the cold palace. Finally, those women were shocked and no one dared to provoke him anymore. But they also hated Ning Yan, who had seduced the emperor not to enter the harem!

The Queen was the daughter of the Left Prime Minister. She originally thought that after entering the palace, she would be able to win the Emperor's love for her, give birth to a prince, and then become the Queen Mother.

As a result, she just thought that, and her thoughts only stopped at entering the palace, and she couldn't take any further steps.

These concubines still want to instigate her to go find the emperor. Do they think she is a fool?

The emperor obviously doesn't like concubines like them. If she really goes there, she might lose her head.

Wupin saw the Queen's expression and naturally understood her thoughts. She secretly called her a waste and took a sip from her teacup, "Speaking of which, the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion has only one male heir, Prince Ning. He is about eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and this age is just right for him to start a family.

He is not even an adult yet, but he is already a third-rank general. With the emperor's favor towards him, he may be promoted again at any time. He has status and power, and there is no telling which lady from a wealthy family will marry him."

Several concubines in the palace who prided themselves on being smart suddenly had their eyes light up. God, why didn’t they think of it in this regard before?
No matter what the reason is, it is certain that Ning Yan is appreciated by the emperor. If a family member marries into the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion and becomes his legal wife, will she also be able to whisper in the emperor's ear?
Even if the sisters at home cannot make Ning Yan obey their words, as long as he gets married, I don't believe that the emperor will still be interested in him!
That's the Emperor. If Ning Yan is not clean now, can the Emperor still want him?
Thinking of this, some people's eyes secretly fell on Concubine Wu. When they were in the boudoir, they heard people say that the daughter of the Grand Tutor was Wu Zhuge. Now they see that it is true!
As soon as she opens her mouth, she reveals that she has eight hundred plans in mind. It's only because the emperor doesn't come to the harem that she would have schemed to death many of the concubines with her around.

The queen also smiled. She had no way to change the emperor's will, but it was a piece of cake to deal with a mere general of the Qianniu Guard.

There are many maids in the palace who want to get married. As long as the two of them are locked up together and the emperor catches them adulterously, I don’t believe that the emperor will still be so fond of Ning Yan!
When the time comes, she will arrange for the palace maids to test him a bit. How can a rough man compare to a gentle woman? She doesn't believe that the emperor can still bear it!

"I remember that Concubine Wu seems to have a younger sister. The two of them are of the same age."

Wupin frowned, "Empress, my younger sister is already married and will be married at the end of the year."

A favorite who serves the king with her beauty is not worth their Taifu Mansion giving up another legitimate daughter.

Concubine Shu said proudly, "What a coincidence! Although I am the only legitimate daughter in my family, I have several concubines who are of the right age. I will send a message to my family later to see if we can help them find a good marriage."

She is just a concubine's daughter. She wouldn't feel bad even if she married off ten of them. There isn't much else in her family, but there are many concubines' daughters, all of whom her father is preparing for marriage.

Since it's a marriage of arrangement, it doesn't matter who you marry.
As long as there are benefits, his father will not object.

Some people looked at Concubine Shu with disdain. The Nanchang Marquisate was a dignified family that was awarded a title for military merit, but by the time of Concubine Shu's father's generation, no one in the family was useful. The men didn't even dare to hold a knife, for fear that one day they would be sent to the battlefield by the emperor and hacked to death by barbarians.

But everyone has to live, so Concubine Shu's father, the Nanchang Marquis of this generation, tried his best to take concubines and give birth to daughters. When they grew up, he would send them out for marriage. He was beautiful, and the concubines he married were all stunning, and the daughters he gave birth to were all beautiful.

There are many mansions in the capital where their daughters live, some as principal wives and some as concubines. The Marquis of Nanchang has gained a lot of benefits. At the very least, the Marquis of Nanchang's mansion is still prosperous and no one dares to bully it!
It's not that Concubine Shu didn't notice the contemptuous looks from those people, but she didn't care at all. Everyone has their own way of living, and being looked down upon by others would not prevent her from living a good life!
Several concubines of lower ranks also echoed the sentiment, saying that their own sisters were suitable and they must ask their families to test the waters with Lady Cheng'an.

The queen listened for a long time before letting the group disperse.

Let her make a fuss, she has waited for three years, she doesn’t mind a little more time, if someone really succeeds, she won’t have to do anything.

……

After sleeping in the palace for six full days, Ning Yan finally caught up with the holiday and was able to go home.

She felt that if she had not been disguised as a man, the emperor would have slept with her long ago.

These few nights were really torturous for her.

Every day the emperor would invite her to take a bath with him.

There is no solution to this problem!
She could only take a bath every night when the emperor was not paying attention, and then grunt as a bath scrubber.

Then, she was used as a pillow by the emperor.

Xiao Li really hugged me!
At first, I just put my arms and legs around him, but when I woke up this morning, I was hugging him with my whole body.

She always felt that her innocence was not far away.

But she didn't expect that she almost lost her innocence when she returned home!
"What? Blind date? And the Seventh Young Lady of the Nanchang Marquis's Mansion?"

The old marquis said earnestly: "If you don't like this seventh daughter of a concubine, there is also the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, who is three years younger than you. If this doesn't work, there is also the legitimate second daughter of the Shaoqing of the Ministry of Rites..."

The old marquis mentioned seven or eight candidates in one breath. Ning Yan didn't need to think about it, as these gentlemen were all of the same kind. They had no real abilities and only used unorthodox methods. Who would discuss marriage with a treacherous minister and favorite like her?
Her father was sitting on the side with his eyes about to spit fire. She was afraid that if her grandfather said another word, her father would get angry and hurt someone, so she hurriedly said, "Grandfather, my marriage is not something I can decide, nor is it something my parents can decide. Of course, it is not something you can decide either. Do you understand what your grandson means?"

Wouldn't it be harmful to her if she married anyone in her situation?

The higher the status of the woman’s family, the less likely she is to be considered.

The old marquis' face immediately turned pale, and he slumped down in his chair. "You, you and the emperor, are you really, really in that kind of relationship?"

"Grandfather, be careful with your words!

The Emperor's secret guards are everywhere!"
