After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 172 Ah, it’s snowing!

However, these things were within her expectations. It was normal for Chen to offer the prescription and put forward conditions.

However, when everyone present knew about this, they became upset.

"Your Highness, on what basis did Chen become a concubine?!" Yan, who had always regarded the position of concubine as a sure thing, suddenly stood up and asked angrily.

Qiao Rongjin was promoted to concubine by the emperor himself, so she didn't dare to question it, but on what basis did Chen Shi do so?

In terms of childbearing, I have one more child than her. In terms of beauty, I am far better than her. In terms of being well-behaved, she can't catch up with me even if she flatters me. Moreover, she is a murderer and has the crime of murdering the heir to the throne. So, on what basis can she be promoted to a concubine! ?

Yan was unwilling to accept this from the bottom of her heart, and her rage grew stronger. She looked at Chen as if she wanted to eat her.

This little bitch, just by going into the prince's study for a few hours, was able to get the prince to make an exception and promote her to a concubine. What a good trick!

"Yes, Your Highness, this Sister Chen..." Wu couldn't help but speak. She was also eyeing the position of concubine. She was the person who had served the prince the longest and was obviously more worthy of the position of concubine than Chen. However, before she could finish her words, she was frightened by the cold gaze of Qi Heng at the top of the table and dared not speak for a moment.

The others who wanted to speak were frightened back by Qi Heng's emotionless look.

Seeing this, Chen smiled with a hint of pride.

Why? Because she gave me the recipe!

Humph, a bunch of ignorant women!

The princess naturally knew about this last night. The prince told her about it last night and she was shocked. After asking, she found out that Chen had offered another prescription. Although the prince didn't say what it was, it should be very important and not a bad one. So the princess didn't say anything else.

She was not in a very good mood either. Although the prince stayed at her place last night, he did not do anything. This made her wonder if her body had lost its appeal to the prince. But she was not fat and had a slim figure. She was just a little older and her skin was not as tight as before. This matter bothered her the whole night, so she did not sleep well last night. She looked a little tired today, and after listening to these words, she was even more upset.

"Alright, sisters, does the prince need to discuss his decision with you?"

After the princess said this, everyone fell silent.

A gleam of pride flashed across Chen's eyes again.

Humph, so what if everyone here dislikes her? They can only envy her. Even if someone like the princess is dissatisfied, she can only suppress it in her heart and dare not say a word. This is her ability. These women can't catch up with her.

Thinking of this, Chen subconsciously looked at Qiao Rongjin. When she heard that she would become a concubine and have the same rank as her, she must have been very surprised, right?

But the next second, when Chen saw Qiao Rongjin, her handkerchief was almost torn to pieces.

I saw Qiao Rongjin holding a handkerchief and carefully looking at and rubbing the patterns on it. He looked lazy and casual, as if he didn't care about what was said just now.

Well, this Qiao Rongjin doesn't take her seriously, right? Wait, she won't let her get in her way again.

Chen was so angry that she decided to just turn a blind eye to it.

Qi Heng's eyes had been glancing at Qiao Rongjin intentionally or unintentionally since he came in. Seeing that she had no special expression and didn't speak the whole time, he was not sure for a moment whether she was angry or not.

He came here today just to talk about this matter, so he left immediately after he finished speaking, leaving the princess and concubines behind.

"Today we are here because of this matter. I won't say much else. You can send someone to pick up this month's allowance later." After saying that, he stood up and left.

After the princess left, Chen was surrounded by everyone in an instant.

Yan was still unwilling to accept this, so she spoke harshly to Chen, the one who had snatched her position as concubine. "I never thought that even though Sister Chen has become a cripple, she could still make the prince change his mind. This method is really clever!"

As she wished, she saw the gloom that flashed across Chen's eyes. Yan let out a sigh of relief, and then she walked away with a "humph". Her fast steps showed that she was very angry.

Although the others were also very angry, they did not speak as harshly as Yan Shi. However, they were not much better, as they congratulated openly but mocked secretly.

Qin simply ignored her and left. After all, her aunt was the virtuous concubine and the biological mother of the prince, and she had the support of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so she could ignore anyone, not even the princess consort.

Qiao Rongjin just glanced at them indifferently, then took Qinglian and Qinyun back to Yunshen Pavilion.

On the way back, Qiao Rongjin was in a good mood. She had not received her monthly allowance since she became a concubine. As a concubine with no status, she only received thirty taels of silver per month. How much would her monthly allowance be now that she was a concubine?

She didn't understand, so she asked Qinglian and Qinyun, they should know.

Qinglian and Qinyun looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. They knew that their master would definitely not care about this matter. Qinyun had inquired about this matter when her master was promoted to concubine.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Master, your monthly allowance is now six hundred taels of silver."

What Qinyun didn't say was that after becoming a concubine, the master would receive two new sets of clothes every month, as well as a supply of various vegetables and fruits, with four more dishes than others, except, of course, the princess.

There are many benefits after promotion.

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin's eyes instantly brightened several shades.

Six hundred taels of silver!

That’s a lot!

Hey! No wonder everyone values ​​the position of concubine so much. The higher the rank, the different the monthly allowance. One has to work hard to get promoted just for the money!

"Okay, Qinyun, you can go get your monthly allowance later."

"Yes, master!" Qin Yun was very happy. After all, the master asked her to get the monthly allowance. This showed trust in her. It was six hundred taels of silver. It was obvious that the master valued her more and more.

……

Time flies! In the blink of an eye, Qi You's birthday is here.

As soon as Qiao Rongjin woke up in the morning, he couldn't wait to put on his thick clothes, then pushed open the door and was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him.

There was a gleam of surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah, it's snowing!" The whole yard was covered with white snow, like a fairy tale world clad in silver.

Looking at the maids who were sweeping a path with brooms and dustpans, Qiao Rongjin felt a little bored, but suddenly she seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, she got down the ladder, walked to the side, scooped up a handful of snow, crumpled it into a ball, and then threw it hard into the frozen pool.
