"I am not in the palace at this time, and Concubine Kande is busy with trivial matters." The queen smiled.
In fact, during the Queen's absence, the eunuchs and nuns in charge of the palace were in charge, and Concubine Kangde was not really entrusted with the matter.
However, as a concubine, Concubine Kangde was inevitably involved in some things.
Of course, she was smart enough not to do anything obvious.
"Whatever the Queen said, I'm just trying my best." Concubine Kande said hurriedly.
"You are the one who doesn't take credit. I only know your benefits," the queen said.
Concubine Kande hurriedly thanked her and showed great respect.
In any case, in the eyes of others, the queen was kind to Concubine Kangde.
If it hadn't been for the Queen's words, Concubine Kangde would not be Concubine Kangde now.
Therefore, she should be grateful.
But, who knows what's going on inside
"Speaking of which, Concubine Kangde is busy, and Concubine Song Zhaoyi is really free." Lu Baolin said suddenly.
Everyone looked over and knew that this was something to say.
Song Zhaoyi blushed: "What Lu Baolin said, what can I do to be busy?"
"Of course something happened to Empress Song Zhaoyi. The Chengri family has a lot of plans. If Empress Song Zhaoyi had a son, wouldn't she be able to be promoted to the throne?" Lu Baolin snorted.
"Lu Baolin, if you have anything to say, just say it," the queen said boredly.
"Yes." Lu Baolin stood up and glanced at Song Zhaoyi: "I missed the fifth prince some time ago, so I went to visit. I heard that the fifth prince was taken to the imperial garden, and I was worried. The emperor and the queen were not there. The prince is still young, how can he carry him around? I rushed to the imperial garden and saw Empress Song Zhaoyi holding the fifth prince. "
"Hey, I don't know when this happened. Does Song Zhaoyi want to raise a child?" Concubine Jin said with a smile.
Song Zhaoyi blushed even more and stood up: "Empress, I just saw that the child was cute, so..."
"Empress Zhaoyi! I didn't ask the wet nurses to carry the baby." Lu Baolin snorted.
"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't met the fifth prince yet? Sister Song likes him. She must be cute, right?" Shen Chuliu said suddenly.
"It's been a day or two that Madam Jing Xiuyi has disliked my concubine, but now I really shouldn't say that. The emperor only said that the fifth prince was raised in Ruiqing Palace, so he is still my concubine's child!" Lu Baolin It had never been so sharp before.
At this moment, she was also afraid that her child would be adopted. How can I recognize it in the future
"It's okay for Sister Song to like children, but the fifth prince is still young after all, so why would he dare to take him to the imperial garden?" Concubine Kangde smiled: "You see, Lu Baolin is so anxious."
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Song Zhaoyi's face turned red and white at the same time, and she could hardly stand.
Of course she wanted children, but not too much.
It was indeed her intention to ask someone to take the child out.
Thinking about getting close to the child, maybe the emperor could ask her to raise her
Now that it has been exposed in public, I am really ashamed.
He is truly an honest person, the kind who has no sense of existence. He does not harm others or makes plans. He can be Zhaoyi solely because of his honesty.
"Okay, Song Zhaoyi, just don't go see the fifth prince again in the future. Lu Baolin, don't be disrespectful to the high-ranking concubines. Forget about today. If you are disrespectful in the future, I will punish you in the same way. The emperor only said The fifth prince will not regret it if he is raised in Ruiqing Palace. It’s hard to see Song Zhaoyi, and the same goes for you!”
"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother." Lu Baolin said hurriedly.
Song Zhaoyi also thanked the queen and sat back with a blush. After saying this and nothing else, the Queen just told everyone to leave.
When he came out, Shen Chuliu was walking behind Song Zhaoyi and said softly: "Sister, there is no need to think about these people in Ruiqing Palace. If they could be raised by others, they should have been raised by others long ago. Sister asked for heirs. , It’s better to ask for a princess whose mother doesn’t show up. If you ask for a prince, you’re just entering the battlefield. Why bother?”
After that, she walked away without hearing Song Zhaoyi's answer.
Song Zhaoyi clutched the handkerchief, mumbled something, then got up and pushed her back.
After returning to Shu Yuxuan, Zhen'er served Song Zhaoyi to drink tea and said softly: "Empress Jing Xiuyi has always been powerful, but these words are also correct. Master, you don't ask for anything else. You have no bad intentions for raising a prince. Yes, there is no guarantee that others will come to harm you when the time comes. How can you resist it even if you have all your strength?"
The Song family was also a feudal official, but after all, they were far away from the imperial city.
Besides, that means you are better than ordinary people. If you get it in the palace, isn't that enough
Song Zhaoyi sighed: "If I had her ability, I wouldn't be like this now."
"Well, it's not that I don't know this in my heart, it's just... that child is really cute." Song Zhaoyi shook her head.
"Master, don't be anxious. Aren't there two more pregnant women now? No matter who they are, they will only be promoted to the first level after giving birth to a child, and they won't be able to raise the child." Zhen'er said with a smile.
Song Zhaoyi also smiled and put the matter aside for the time being.
"Master, do you think the emperor will ask Empress Song Zhaoyi to raise the fifth prince?" Zi Rui asked in a low voice.
Shen Chuliu shook his head firmly: "Of course not. If Hui had asked her to raise him long ago, why should he wait until now?"
"Then it's not good to keep her in Ruiqing Palace like this?" Zi Rui whispered: "Isn't that good?"
"What's wrong? Nominally, that's Lu Baolin's child. When the fifth prince is old and needs to discuss marriage, Lu Baolin can be promoted to the throne if he is still alive. It's just that they haven't been together since he was a child. At that time, the prince was older Now that we are out of the palace, we can only see each other a few times, which is very limited, isn’t it?”
In fact, Shen Chuliu knew very well that the emperor just hated Lu Baolin for being too narrow-minded and unintelligent.
She was afraid that she would spoil the child, otherwise she would be qualified to raise a child based on the Lu family.
There is no other way. The emperor would rather benefit the Lu family from elsewhere than praise the Lu family.
But this was a good thing for her. Lu Baolin couldn't catch the child, so naturally he didn't have the confidence to harm others.
There is one less enemy at the root.
However, as the sixth prince grows up, she will not fall out of favor for a while, then the palace will be full of enemies.
Shen Chuliu did not dare to relax.
As soon as he returned to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Biyu came to greet him.
Shen Chuliu naturally disappeared.
Shen Biyu was anxious: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your wife very busy?"
"Shen Yunu, please go back. Your Majesty said that you are tired. See you another day." Yuan Xiao said with a smile.
Shen Yunu bit her lip: "Sister always refuses to see me. Do you resent me in your heart?"
"Whatever the imperial daughter says, she is the emperor's concubine. You must know that concubines in this palace are the most taboo and resentful."
Yuan Xiao meant to ask Shen Yunv, do you want to harm your sister
