After sending Jimei away, the needlework nanny from the clothing department laughed and said, "Although this favored master is very generous, in the harem, only the queen has this kind of generosity. Now there is also Lady Jing."
"Empress Yi was also very generous in the past, right?" asked Nanny Wang.
Nanny Zhang shook her head, "They can't be compared. First, she is a concubine, so it is normal for her to have more things. Second, you see a lot. In fact, it is very little for her. It's different for Lady Jing. You see a few pieces of cloth. This is a reward from the emperor this morning, and he brought it immediately. It shows how generous she is."
"Hey, although that one is a concubine, their backgrounds are different. How did that one grow up? This one is the daughter of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is a long-standing noble family."
"That's true, but think about it, if someone is willing to wear clothes and dress up, wouldn't the emperor like it? I've heard it several times that the emperor praised Lady Jing for her dressing skills. Because of her dressing skills, the emperor has rewarded her with rouge and powder more than once. It's said that the emperor has given her a lot of the best eyebrow pencils."
"Yes, there are also flower ornaments. It is said that this lady likes to paint flowers under her eyes, so the emperor rewarded her with flower ornaments of various colors, including gold and silver powder." said a young needlework maid.
"I don't mean to say that in this regard, no matter it is Concubine Jing or Concubine Li, they are better than over there." Nanny Zhang pursed her lips and pointed in the direction of Changle Palace.
Nanny Wang smiled with great meaning.
Isn't it? Even if you think plainness is good at first, after a while, you will get tired of it, right
"That person is not doing well now."
They all shook their heads and stopped talking.
People in the palace have been saying privately that Concubine Yi has a good fate but no luck.
They also said that it was Li Jieyu's child that brought bad luck to us. Tsk, it's just that we are unlucky.
Lu Baolin was looking at the leaves blown by the wind outside and was lost in thought. Empress Dowager Feng's people had come this morning.
She knew exactly what Empress Dowager Feng meant, but she was no longer sure.
At the beginning, she didn't stand on that side. Although her scheming was always seen through, she was not stupid.
Feng, something bad will happen to you one day.
But Empress Dowager Feng's words...
Empress Dowager Feng said that it would be difficult for her to stand firm on her own. Even if she had the Lu family, she would only be out of favor and nothing would happen.
Lu Baolin had put in all his efforts, so naturally he would not be satisfied with such a result.
She took a deep breath. She knew that Empress Dowager Feng was disappointed with Concubine Shu.
Lu Baolin thought for a long time, then called Shuxiang: "Go see Eunuch Liu and ask her to tell Empress Dowager Feng that I have only one request. On the surface, I will not take sides. In secret, I will do whatever you want. If you have made up your mind, you don't have to tell Concubine Shu."
Shuxiang agreed and went to find Eunuch Liu who worked in the kitchen.
It was Eunuch Liu who came in the morning.
Empress Dowager Feng would naturally not send anyone close to her, as that would be too obvious.
Now that Lu Baolin is pregnant, it is not surprising that the kitchen rushes to serve her.
In the evening, the news was passed back to Empress Dowager Feng.
"She is quite smart, at least she can keep her composure." Empress Dowager Feng smiled.
She was disappointed with Concubine Feng, but she was not going to give up. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Feng family and also a Concubine.
Putting aside the fact that she is her niece, the other things are significant enough.
So she only needed to win over one person, but not directly replace Concubine Feng.
"Tell her tomorrow that I will at least guarantee to protect her so that she can give birth to the child smoothly." said Empress Dowager Feng.
After Eunuch Liu left, Madam Zhuang asked, "Do you want to keep this baby?"
"Keeping her will always be useful. Besides, the emperor will keep her. He has already had several miscarriages. If he needs the Lu family, he will naturally keep her." Empress Dowager Feng said. Madam Zhuang nodded: "I hope she is smarter."
"She hates the Queen, Concubine Yi, Concubine Li, and Lady Jing. That's enough." Empress Dowager Feng laughed, "How much can I support her? The future depends on me."
"That's right. If I can't do it, then nothing I say will be of any use." Nanny Zhuang said with a smile.
"Su Yu Nu is also favored after coming in? I've heard it, is she a scheming person? It's a pity that she is just a concubine, her rank is too low and her background is too poor. It's not worth winning over." Empress Dowager Feng shook her head.
Upon seeing this, Madam Zhuang didn't say much. After all, that person was a stranger from Changle Palace, so who would know what happened
"No matter how good or bad it is, just let Concubine Yi take it."
"Empress Yi is not worth mentioning. But Concubine Li, with this baby, she has become a great success."
She must become one of the nine concubines.
"After all, the Duke of Qi's Mansion is married to the Feng family, so I don't think she would be ignorant." said Nanny Zhuang.
"Hehe, she is smarter than those people in her family. Well, let's wait and see. It is impossible for Su Xin to be the only one in power in the harem forever. What's more, Su Xin is not favored." Speaking of this, it is the most infuriating.
The emperor put on all kinds of shows, but he just refused to show that he favored Concubine Feng.
"Just watch, there will be no shortage of harem fights in the future. Who can be worry-free? Our Concubine Shu at least occupies the position of the second prince. How can it be so easy to get promoted? Concubine Yi has failed, and the others are even further away."
"You are right." Empress Dowager Feng leaned against the cushion and said, "For now, this is all I can think of."
In Fengzao Palace, the queen listened to Emei talking.
"Although she is pregnant now, the emperor doesn't care about it, and the eunuchs in the kitchen don't care much either. But Eunuch Liu is eager to help? What's the benefit?"
"We all know that Eunuch Liu is Empress Dowager Feng's man. Are they trying to win him over?" Pei Yue said.
"I guess so. What do you think about this matter, Your Majesty?" Emei asked.
"I don't care, just know it. She wants to win over Lu Baolin, as long as it doesn't interfere with me. Fight, isn't it clear that there will be another Miss Li coming in next year?" The queen sneered: "The more they support the powerful, the more exciting it will be. If the fight is fierce, no one will care about me, the queen."
What's more, the more they fight, the more unstable they become, and the queen becomes more and more stable.
"Lu Baolin's belly is doing well, but it's a pity that he is not favored." Emei said with a smile.
"She is too favored, and even Empress Dowager Feng can't stop her. Ask her to bring Concubine Li and Lady Jing! Who will care about her?" Pei Yue said, "I don't care. I will go and prepare drinks for my master."
She went out, and Emei shook her head: "This temper."
"Don't restrict her. It's rare that she still has this kind of personality." said the queen.
"Yes, yes, that's not restricting her. She is sensible and won't say anything when she goes out."
All the maids close to the Queen were brought from the court, so they are especially close to her.
"Bring the second princess to me." What could be more important than a daughter
Ever since the Queen gave birth to a child, she has had this additional activity. She feels uncomfortable if she is not close to her daughter every day.
The second princess didn’t know how to call her mother yet, but she reached out her hand as soon as she saw the queen.
It's also very well-behaved and cute.
No more today, everyone goes to sleep. The last day of the lottery.
