Chapter 152: The Noblewoman of the Li Dynasty
"Flip the cards?"
Whose sign are you flipping?
How did you flip the sign?
When Huang heard Shen Yuyao talking about flipping the cards, her face turned red and white, and there was some grievance in her eyes.
The other concubines also lowered their heads and did not say a word.
"Uh... why are we talking about that sign again?"
Xia Yu's eyes were filled with impatience. "Besides, what does my family affairs have to do with the ruler of your Li Dynasty?"
It was as if tens of millions of horses were galloping through his heart.
Manager Li Chaoguo is really too lenient!
"My Lady Princess, this matter has nothing to do with flipping the cards."
Huang seemed to have suddenly made some kind of decision. She knelt up straight and looked up at Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao asked curiously: "If it's not flipping the cards, then what's the point?"
"The ruler of the Li Dynasty will send another beauty to the Ning Wang Mansion and will also punish the families of the maids and concubines."
"..."
Shen Yuyao listened to Huang for a long time before she understood the whole story.
It turned out that Xia Yu announced a few days ago that Concubine Xu had passed away.
This news spread from the capital of Daxia to the ruler of the Li Dynasty.
The King of the Li Dynasty took it for granted that the opportunity to send concubines to the Ning Wang Mansion had come, so he quickly asked the concubines' families to pass letters to them.
The King of the Ly Dynasty said that if any of them were favored by King Ning and promoted to concubine, their families would enjoy wealth and glory in the Ly Dynasty.
But if no one else could gain the favor of Prince Ning, the King of the Li Dynasty would select other beautiful women of appropriate age to send to Prince Ning in order to achieve the goal of forming an alliance with Daxia through marriage.
As for those concubines who were not favored, their families would be severely punished by the King of the Li Dynasty for failing to educate their daughters!
These concubines came to Daxia because they wanted to use their bodies to gain a future for their relatives.
But after arriving at Prince Ning's Mansion, Prince Ning not only turned over Huang's nameplate, but the other concubines hardly even got to see Prince Ning.
How can I accept your grace then?
How to raise your status?
So, several concubines decided to use the tactic of fasting to force King Ning to choose one of them as a concubine.
If one person is carried, they will look after each other.
One glory and all glory!
After Huang explained the whole story in one breath, Xia Yu's face quickly froze, as cold as it could be.
"Don't think about it!"
Xia Yu stood up, his eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "This prince has already promised the princess that there will only be one princess in the Ning Palace in the future, no more."
"If you continue to covet the position of concubine, I will send you a letter of divorce and tell you to go back to the Li Dynasty!"
Xia Yu turned to Shen Yuyao and said, "I'll have to ask the princess to handle this matter!"
After saying this, he walked straight out of the palace without caring about the concubines who were still kneeling on the ground.
Xia Yu, you are really something. You left the mess to me and ran away?
Although Shen Yuyao didn't understand why Xia Yu was so persistent in not giving positions to other concubines, she really hated the King of the Li Dynasty in her heart, who always offered beauties from his country in exchange for peace!
This move is really terrible!
Shen Yuyao looked at the concubines kneeling at her feet and could only say indifferently: "A mother is honored by her sons. My sisters, you should put more effort into having children."
"If anyone can give birth to a son or daughter for the prince, she will naturally have status and favor."
Huang Shi saw that the self-torture trick was not going to work, so she could only go along with it and said, "I will follow your Majesty's instructions."
There was a barely perceptible flash of hatred in her eyes.
......
Early the next morning, Zi Su brought good news to Shen Yuyao. The concubines in Chuxiu Palace could not hold on any longer and started eating one after another in the middle of the night.
In the room, Baizhi served Xia Xiaoxian breakfast.
When Zi Su was combing Shen Yuyao's hair, she heard Bai Zhi say, "Last night, Chuxiu Palace was very lively. I heard from the palace maids that several concubines almost fought again for the leftover meat in the kitchen."
"Later, Huang's maid brought back the roast chicken and fried meatballs that Huang refused to eat during her hunger strike."
"At night, Huang and her maids did not complain and ate with great relish."
"Hunger strike? It's just a scare tactic!"
"It's hot now. Aren't they afraid that they will get stomach upset if the food is left out for a day or two?" Zi Su looked worried.
"If you have a stomachache, the palace will have to pay for medicine!" Bai Zhi really hated those concubines of the Li Dynasty.
A shrewd person is always full of troubles.
Shen Yuyao, who was facing the diamond-shaped mirror, glanced at Bai Zhi with a smile, and a servant's report came from outside the door.
"Princess, Miss Huang from Chuxiu Palace wants to see you."
"Well, if you mention the devil, he will appear. Huang is smart. She knows about the inner courtyard of the palace. She still has to come and ask our young lady for help." Bai Zhi wiped Xia Xiaoxian's mouth. "Don't you think so, little princess?"
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly and said lightly: "Let Huang wait in the front hall, put some soft and easy-to-digest cakes, don't neglect it."
"I obey, little one."
Not long after, Shen Yuyao changed into a queen's bright red long-sleeved gown and a red gauze skirt. She also asked Zi Su to comb her hair into a peony style and put on the golden phoenix hairpin that Xia Yu had given her.
She has a stunning appearance, and when she puts on gorgeous clothes, she is truly a blooming flower in the world.
Dazzlingly beautiful.
As soon as Shen Yuyao entered the front hall, she saw Huang eating the cakes on the table with big mouthfuls.
When she saw that it was Shen Yuyao who came in dressed up, Huang's eyes became gloomy, she frowned slightly, stood up and greeted Shen Yuyao.
"My Lady Princess, I am really hungry."
Shen Yuyao smiled faintly and waved at Huang, indicating that it was okay.
"I asked the servants to prepare it for you. Just eat it."
"Thank you very much for your reward, Your Majesty." Huang stood up and bowed again, "Your Majesty, I came here today to ask for your advice."
Shen Yuyao nodded and said, "Just say it."
After saying that, she walked up to the main seat in the front hall and sat down.
"Last night, the princess taught me and the others that we should think more about having children. Am I right?"
Shen Yuyao nodded.
"Yes, that's what I said."
"Then could your Majesty teach me how to plan for offspring?" Huang persisted.
"Your Majesty, you only flip cards and don't work, where will your offspring come from?"
Last night, in front of everyone in Chuxiu Palace, Huang was too embarrassed to say how the person whose name card was turned over was turned over.
Now, Shen Yuyao was the only one in the front hall, and Huang didn't care and said it directly with a thick face.
Shen Yuyao had planned everything, but she never expected Prince Ning to be so absurd!
Flipping the sign, but not working?
If that's not humiliation, what is it?
It was not until this moment that Shen Yuyao finally understood why Huang was willing to be the first to lead the people in Chuxiu Palace in a collective hunger strike yesterday.
