Harem competition strategy 3

Tao Yuan and Sun Yuan were assigned to the same room. They were not allowed to bring anything when they entered the palace. All the items they needed were brand new items just sent by the palace attendants.

Sun Yuan closed the door of the room, and the two were about to change into the uniforms of the servants.

Tao Yuan watched him close the door, then walked behind the screen to take off his clothes. After Sun Yuan closed the door, he walked over.

"My father told me that he helped me take care of everything. As long as I behave dull and ordinary, after three months, I can definitely become a maid, and I can go home after two or three years in the palace." Sun Yuan said quietly.

While changing his coat, Tao Yuan said in the same small voice, "Your father still loves you. He knows that this harem is not a good place. He doesn't want to use your happiness for family honor."

"I myself have a mediocre appearance and a very mediocre talent. I can't attract the emperor, nor can I please the queen mother. Even if I stay in the harem, I won't get any benefit for the family." Sun Yuan probed out, looked at the door, and used more. The small voice said, "But you must stay in the palace. Those people think you can only be the emperor at best, but I overheard the conversation of my father. He said that the emperor is likely to canonize you as the queen. ."

Tao Yuan said with a helpless smile, "No matter what you are, the destiny is controlled by others."

Sun Yuan sighed, "Your father is the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses. The emperor and the queen mother definitely want to keep you in the palace, but even if you become a king, let’s not talk about sharing your husband with so many people, just those in the harem. A life of intrigue, a little carelessness, is forever. I don't want to live like this anyway, but some people regard entering the harem as a great fortune."

"Everyone thinks differently. It's just that their destiny is not their own decision, but what can they do? Although there are some who don't want to resign to their fate and want to fight, but no matter what the result is, they have to take it for themselves. "

"After you stay in the palace, whether you are a queen or an emperor, you must be more careful and guard against other people."

"I know that since I have entered this harem, I am ready to face anything. But I am not a bully, it should be mine, and I will never give it to anyone.

Because of the original owner's family background, Tao Yuan had to enter the palace, and he also had a reason to stay in the palace. Because his lover is the emperor in this life, he must stay by his side. But even if his lover is the emperor, he will never share him with other people. They can come and fight, but they have to bear the result.

The two changed their clothes, put the changed clothes in the closet, and then went to the table to sit down and chat.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Chief Chu Xiugong, they went to greet the Queen Mother together.

All show girls wear pink and all servants wear light blue. The style is simple and generous, making them look very energetic. But when everyone wears the same clothes, the contrast between looks and temperament is even more obvious.

Sitting at the top of the main hall, the Queen Mother looked at the people standing below, and felt that Tao Yuan and Ye Rong were the most outstanding. Although the appearance of the others is also very good, standing beside them is only a foil.

Although they all have to learn the rules and etiquette in the palace for three months, only Ye Rong and Tao Yuan have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the Queen Mother. This also confirmed that one of the two would be the queen and the other the emperor, but in the hearts of others, they felt that Ye Rong would definitely be the queen.

Although the queen mother is very clear in her heart, the person who becomes the queen in the end will definitely be Tao Yuan. But in the heart of the Queen Mother, she didn't have much hope for Tao Yuan to be a good queen. She felt that in the future, Ye Rong would definitely help her manage the harem together, and also to show that he valued Ye Rong, so she also asked him to follow along in advance.

…………………………

Two months later.

Tao is willing to get up early as before, use the ingredients prepared the night before, make a few snacks in the kitchenette, and then go to Jingshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother.

When Tao Yuan entered Jingshou Palace, other show ladies and attendants were already waiting outside the hall, ready to go in and greet the Queen Mother. Tao Yuan came later than them because he made dim sum, and the director of Chu Xiugong also closed one eye because the queen mother ordered him to make the dim sum.

After seeing Tao Yuan coming, other people gave way and let Tao Yuan stand in the forefront. Seeing the snacks in his hand, they couldn't help feeling envy and jealousy.

The eunuch chief Liu Gonggong next to the Queen Mother came out and said to them, "Everyone can go in and please peace with the Queen Mother."

The queen mother had just got up to dress up, and was sitting in the main hall of Jingshou Palace, waiting for them to go in and make peace.

Tao Yuan and Ye Rong walked in the forefront. The others divided into two rows and followed them in. After entering the main hall, everyone saluted the Queen Mother together and "pleased the Queen Mother."

The queen mother smiled and looked at them and said, "No gift."

"Thank the Queen Mother."

After everyone got up, Tao Yuan stepped forward two steps and respectfully said to the Queen Mother, "Give it to the Queen Mother, this is the courtier who got up this morning and made some appetizing snacks for the Queen Mother."

The queen mother said directly yesterday that she wanted to eat the snacks he made, so Tao Yuan naturally wanted to eat for her.

The maidservant beside the queen mother walked over, took the tray in his hand, and sent it to the queen mother.

The queen mother glanced at the delicate snacks in the tray and said, "Thank you very much."

"It doesn't work hard, the queen mother loves to eat, it is the blessing of the courtiers." Tao Yuan said respectfully.

Just smelling the scent of those desserts, the queen mother immediately opened up her appetite. She has a bad appetite these few days, and only the desserts made by Tao Yuan can make her appetite.

In these two months, the Queen Mother has greatly improved Tao Yuan, feeling that he is not a person who does not understand the rules and has no education like she had always thought before. Not only was he well-mannered, but he also behaved generously and decently, and he was able to understand everything she taught him.

The most rare thing is that he still has a good cooking skill, and the dim sum is many times better than the Imperial Kitchen.

In the past two months, Tao Yuan has relied on these delicacies to increase her favor with the queen mother. Although the queen mother still prefers Ye Rong in her heart, at least she has treated them equally now.

The queen mother just picked up the chopsticks and wanted to taste those snacks when she suddenly heard a sound from outside the palace.

"The emperor is here!"

The queen mother immediately put down the chopsticks and looked outside the gate.

Others immediately stood on either side, knelt down on one foot, and saluted the emperor who walked in, "See the emperor!"

The emperor walked to the front and bowed to the Queen Mother to salute the "Mother Empress."

The queen mother asked, "Why didn't you go to court?"

"I have retreated." The emperor replied, then walked to the lower left position of the Queen Mother and sat down.

"Did the emperor eat breakfast?" the queen mother asked.

"Not yet, thinking that I haven't eaten breakfast with the queen for a long time. I retired early today and came over to eat breakfast with the queen." The emperor replied.

"How about the emperor taste these snacks." The queen mother raised her hand and motioned to the maidservant to distribute the snacks in front of her to the emperor.

The maidservant brought up the table and put it in front of the emperor, and then put the divided snacks on the table.

Xiao Junye read the dim sum on the table once, then picked up a small soup bag with his chopsticks, just put it in his mouth and took a bite, and the delicious soup flowed into his mouth.

Xiao Junye froze for a moment and said, "Is there a new cook in the Imperial Dining Room? I have never eaten such a delicious soup dumpling."

"It was not made by the Imperial Dining Room, but Mu Xi made it." The Queen Mother said with a smile

"Oh?" Xiao Junye stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked down. Seeing Tao Yuan standing there with low eyebrows, he couldn't help but glanced at him more. I thought that after he entered the palace, he had never "coincidentally" with him, and that Ye Rong who entered the palace with him at the same time had "coincidentally" with him several times in the Queen's Palace.

Xiao Junye thought to himself, with such a good cooking skill, after he entered the palace, he didn't even give himself a meal. Doesn't he want to attract his attention?

"If you try this pastry milk again, it will not only melt in your mouth, but also has a salty and sweet taste, which is not greasy at all. The queen loves this."

Xiao Junye took a sip, and it melted in the mouth, sweet but not greasy.

"You can also try this egg yolk cake. You will definitely like this taste." The queen mother said again.

"During the period of the mother, she must have often eaten such good snacks, why didn't you ask your son to taste it?" Xiao Junye complained to the queen mother, in fact, praising Tao Yuan's craftsmanship.

"In the future, there will naturally be opportunities to let you eat enough." The queen mother said with a smile.

Other people's hearts are as jealous as being scratched by a cat's claw, painful and itchy. Since they entered the palace, every day they hoped that they could meet the emperor when they greeted the queen mother, and he would take another look. They are not like Ye Rong, who can often stay in the Queen Mother Palace and have more opportunities to meet the emperor. thought it would be useless for them to be jealous of someone who was favored by the Queen Mother like Ye Rong. Besides, there was someone who was definitely more jealous than them.

But didn't expect that after entering the palace, that person would be more and more recognized by the Queen Mother, and he would cook a few foods, which made the Queen Mother full of praise. Now the conversations between the Queen Mother and the emperor mother and son are both openly and secretly complimenting his good cooking skills.

Xiao Junye was eating happily, and suddenly frowned. When the queen mother noticed it, she immediately said to the people below, "You all get back."

"promise."

Tao Yuan and Ye Rong took the lead and walked out, and the others followed them.

After returning to Chu Xiu Palace, Tao Yuan and Ye Rong looked at each other. They didn't say a word, but the sparks were sparked just by looking at them. After looking at each other for a while, the two turned around and went back to their rooms.

The people behind looked at them, thinking that the harder they fought, the better, and the emperor who fought in the end hated both of them at the same time, so people like them would have more opportunities.

Ever since Tao Yuan entered the palace, Ye Rong felt very regretful every time she watched Tao Yuan brush up her favor with the Queen Mother with delicacies. If he had known this a long time ago, he should buy a level ten cooking skill when buying skills. . At that time, because his cooking skills were too expensive, and every time he cooks, his appearance value was reduced, so he didn't buy it.

But recently, he has asked his family to find a servant who is good at cooking and send him into the palace. When he becomes the emperor, he will be able to have servants to wait on him. He still feels that he should let his servants do things like cooking. But even if he doesn't know how to cook himself, he has to admit that using food to brush his opinion is a good way, so he can't lose to him.

According to the progress of the plot in the game, the three months to be selected is the time for Ye Rong, as the protagonist of the game, to find a way to gain the emperor's favor. Because of the game settings, the emperor was married to Mu Xi and Ye Rong at the same time. On the night of the wedding, he would go to Mu Xi, the queen, or Ye Rong, the emperor, even if he wanted to see Ye Rong brush's favorability value is high enough.

After Tao Yuan and the others left, the queen mother said to the maidservants, "You too, leave."

"promise."

The other palace servants all retreated, only a few confidants of the queen mother guarded the outside of the hall.

"How are you in the last few days?" The Queen Mother asked concerned, "Do you have many headaches? Have you coughed up blood?"

Thinking of Xiao Junye's body, the empress dowager's heart couldn't help but feel pain, and even the delicious food was tasteless.

"I haven't coughed up blood in the past few days, and I have only had a few headaches. It's not a special pain, but I can still bear it." Xiao Junye comforted the queen mother, "Don't worry about the queen mother. This new medicine has a good effect. Part of the poison in the body is eliminated."

"It's the queen mother who didn't protect you. It was the queen mother who hurt you." Every time she talked about this, the queen mother couldn't help crying.

When Xiao Junye was young, he was given chronic poison|drug. Since then, he often feels uncomfortable, but the imperial doctor has been unable to diagnose the problem. A few years later, he suddenly vomited blood and almost died. He turned out to be poisoned. Although he managed to save his life, the poisoning was too deep and there was no cure, and he could only rely on other medicines to maintain his life. Because he couldn't get rid of the poison, his head would be very painful every time the poison attacked. When the attack was severe, he would vomit blood.

But for so many years, the Queen Mother has not found the person who poisoned him. In order not to shake Xiao Junye’s status as a prince, no one would know that he might die by poison at any time. The Queen Mother tried to hide this matter until he Successfully enthroned.

Xiao Junye comforted the queen mother for a while, and when her mood improved, she began to change the subject, "The queen seems to have improved Mu Xi. It seems that his performance after entering the palace makes the queen very satisfied."

"In these days, the views of the Ai family towards him have indeed changed a lot. He is not at all like a child raised by a military commander's family. Not only does he behave generously and decently, but he also speaks and handles affairs with great dignity and demeanor, but he looks like a scholar. The family was brought up by the nobles. At the beginning, the Aijia thought he was pretending, thinking that after a long time, he will be fully exposed. But in these two months, the Aijia has also seen it. If it weren't for the habit cultivated since childhood, pretending would never be like him. What's more, his good cooking skills can't be learned in a day or two."

"Before the mother did not worry about him as the emperor, now it seems to be relieved?" Xiao Junye said.

"I can't say rest assured, I can only say that he is not as bad as the Aijia thinks. Whether he can be a good queen depends on himself and whether he has the ability to survive in this deep palace. If the mother is allowed to choose , The mother still wants to choose Ye Rong as the queen, but now she doesn’t look down on Mu Xi as much as before.”

"It takes a long time to see people's hearts. I met Ye Rong several times in the mother's harem, but I didn't meet Mu Xi alone once. From the point of being able to hold my breath, I think Mu Xi might be more suitable to be a queen. "

"Really?" The queen mother was taken aback and said, "Mu Xi has been in the palace for two months, haven't you met alone?"

As long as Xiao Junye is in the palace and is not particularly busy, he will definitely come over to please the Queen Mother. He met Ye Rong several times in Jingshou Palace, but Tao Yuan had never met him once, so he and the Queen Mother were very surprised.

In order to rush to get the Emperor's Favor Points as quickly as possible before the big wedding, Ye Rong had many chance encounters with Xiao Junye purposefully. He has almost completed his strategy for King Yu, and he has made a lot of good feelings in the Queen Mother. After that, the main target of the strategy is Emperor Xiao Junye, so of course he has to meet him more by chance, and wants to attract with the protagonist's aura and appearance. He leaves an impression in his heart, and it will be easier to attack later.

But what he didn't know was that Xiao Junye, who had already changed his lining, was immune to his protagonist's halo. He appeared in front of him several times, and it would only make him feel that his heart is very restless, and his ambition is also very strong. And he didn’t know what incense Ye Rong used. Every time he was a little closer to him, the smell made him very uncomfortable.

After talking with the Queen Mother for a while, Xiao Junye got up to leave.

The Queen Mother also stood up and said to him, "Yesterday Mu Xi said that the roses in Jingshou Palace were just blooming, and he wanted to pick some roses to make flower cakes. The Ai family approved him. He must be picking rose petals at the moment, waiting for him. When it’s done, the queen will be sent to give you a taste."

When the queen mother suddenly said such a sentence, Xiao Junye naturally understood what she meant.

During the period of the queen mother, after eating so much food made by Tao Yuan, although the heart has not been subdued, the stomach has been subdued. She felt that regardless of whether she was satisfied with Tao Yuan before, but at least now it seems that he is still good, so she wanted to create a chance for Xiao Junye and Tao Yuan, so that the two could get along a little bit before their wedding.

This is also because Tao Yuan has worked hard to improve the empress dowager's affection for him, so that the queen mother will act like this.

Although Xiao Junye understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, he still had things to do, so he planned to leave directly.

Xiao Junye was walking on the corridor and suddenly looked at the figure passing by at the corner in front of him. His footsteps stopped for a moment, and then stopped involuntarily. He said to the eunuchs behind him, "You stay here, don't follow."

After Tao Yuan had breakfast, he went to the garden to pick rose petals with a basket. The days in the palace were actually quite boring. So when he doesn't need to learn the rules and has nothing else to do, he just cooks food to pass the time, and by the way he can brush up on the queen mother's favor.

As for Xiao Junye, he is not in a hurry, anyway, after the big wedding, he is sure that he will fall in love with himself soon. Moreover, only he can solve the poison of Xiao Junye. Even Ye Rong, who has the eighth level of dispensing skills, can't solve the poison of Xiao Junye. Moreover, in order to achieve his own goals, it is very good not to poison Xiao Junye. How could it be possible? Will detox him.

Xiao Junye stood at the corner, looking at the picture in front of him, he was suddenly stunned. The person standing in the rose bush was a hundred times more beautiful than those flowers, as if the flower god descended, and the beauty was unreal.

Tao Yuan picked half of the basket of petals, felt that it was almost done, and was about to return to the Palace of Chuxiu. As soon as he looked up, he saw Xiao Junye standing not far away, and then he was taken aback.

Xiao Junye had already walked into the garden without even realizing it.

After Tao Yuan recovered, he walked over and prepared to salute him.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xiao Junye coughed suddenly and violently. He felt uncomfortable. He was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly a sweet smell came into his throat, and he spouted a mouthful of blood, "Puff!"

"Your Majesty!" The bamboo basket in Tao Yuan's hand fell to the ground, and then ran to him quickly.

Xiao Junye's headache began to strike, and the blackening and severe pain in front of him made him a little unstoppable. Although had frequent headaches before, rarely experienced such severe headaches.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Tao Yuan supported him when he was about to fall.

Xiao Junye's body shook and fell on Tao Yuan. Although he was highly toxic for many years, he was born with a tall body. Coupled with these years of training in martial arts and riding and shooting, his physique was fairly strong. He completely fell on Tao Yuan. , Tao Yuan's body of this sixteen-year-old brother couldn't support him at all.

The two squatted on the ground together, Xiao Junye's head weakly leaning on Tao Yuan's shoulder, he suddenly smelled a very sweet smell, which made him a lot more comfortable, he couldn't help but breathe hard and wanted to inhale More such fragrances.

Xiao Junye buried his face in Tao Yuan's neck and breathed hard, Tao Yuan could only tilt his head, and then carefully watched if anyone came here.

The sweet smell entered his chest cavity from Xiao Junye's nose, and then spread throughout his body. His headache gradually eased and his brain consciousness slowly returned.

Tao Yuan waited until he should be better, then shook his body and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

When Tao Yuan said that he was going to call an imperial physician, Xiao Junye immediately became sober. He endured a headache that he could endure, and looked at Tao Yuan and said, "You don't need to call an imperial physician, I'm fine."

"Your Majesty, you, you don't look like it's okay." Tao Yuan said, looking at his pale face.

"I said it's okay, it's okay. I'm not allowed to tell anyone about this. Do you know?" Xiao Junye said with a stern face.

"I see..." Tao Yuan said, "The minister will never tell anything."

Smelling the fragrance of Tao Yuan's body, Xiao Junye couldn't help but put his face to his neck.

Tao Yuan stepped back and said, "Your Majesty, you are like this... If someone sees it, it would be bad."

Xiao Junye just remembered that there might be a maidservant passing by here, and it was really not good to be seen so close in broad daylight.

The two stood up, and Xiao Junye seriously warned him again, "Don't tell anyone what happened just now."

"No." Tao Yuan bowed his head and replied respectfully and seriously.

Xiao Junye took another strong breath before turning around and walking away quickly.

Tao Yuan looked at his back. After standing for a while, he turned to pick up his bamboo basket, and then left calmly as if nothing had happened.
