"Thank you, Queen." Shen Chuliu smiled happily.
"I forgot about Jing Xiuyi's birthday for a while. Speaking of which, Zhuang Baolin went there specially yesterday. I'm afraid he wasn't thinking about Jing Xiuyi's birthday. Did he go to celebrate in advance?" Concubine Jin couldn't let it go. An opportunity to make someone else laugh.
"Concubine Jin is really good at joking. It's really far from Caiwei Pavilion to Cuiyunxuan. Is Zhuang Baolin going there for something else?" Ying Meiren said with a smile.
"I was just visiting the Imperial Garden. When I walked over there... I went to pay my respects." After all, Zhuang Baolin did not dare to say that he really went to celebrate his birthday.
"Are Fang Xiaoyi and Zhuang Baolin not getting along?" Zhenmei suddenly said.
Fang Xiaoyi was stunned: "I am frightened by what Lady Zhenmei said. I entered the palace at the same time as Zhuang Baolin, how can I be at odds with each other?"
"Since it's not the case, Fang Xiaoyi's Lan Yuexuan is also close to the Imperial Garden and is still at one end of the Imperial Garden, but Zhuang Baolin has gone to the other end... Does that mean Zhuang Baolin is very close to Empress Jing Xiuyi?" Zhen The beauty smiled.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of Zhenmei's jokes. I have a bad memory. I finally saw what Zhuang Baolin looks like yesterday." Shen Chuliu laughed.
Everyone laughed.
This slap was hard enough.
"But I'm a little curious. Forget it that this person came to me specifically to greet me, shouldn't Zhuang Baolin? Let me calculate, I haven't seen the emperor for a month, right? Many sisters in the harem have also not seen the emperor for a long time. , but in this month, Zhuang Baolin visited me the most, so why did he come to my place yesterday? Is it a coincidence that Zhuang Baolin is lucky? Or should I say that Zhuang Baolin is not satisfied? "
Shen Chuliu said with a smile: "I really can't figure it out."
"Jing Xiuyi is one of the nine concubines after all. It's okay for Zhuang Baolin to want to make progress. There's no need to be so aggressive." Feng Shufei snorted.
Naturally, she couldn't stand Shen Chuliu.
"What Concubine Feng Shu said is good, I will remember it. Zhuang Baolin wants to make progress in Concubine, so naturally he will rely on his own ability. In the future, when Concubine Feng Shu comes to bed, I will also try my skills. How about it?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"You! You are so arrogant!" Feng Shufei was greatly stimulated.
She knew that if she were to serve as a bed attendant, she would never be able to compete with Jing Xiuyi.
"Okay! Concubine Feng Shu, you are a first-class concubine. Why are you arguing with them?" The queen said calmly, "The second prince is not young anymore, so you should restrain yourself."
Concubine Feng Shu was very angry, but she didn't dare to make a mistake. She was still scared after being imprisoned for several months.
"Yes." Shen Chuliu could only take a look and sit back.
Concubine Feng Shu was denounced by the queen, and others naturally stopped talking about this. Zhuang Baolin also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was so passionate yesterday, but today she realized how much she regretted it.
After they were separated, Zhenmei was invited to see Queen Mother Li.
"Aunt." Zhenmei lowered her head and said, "I talked too much today."
"That's not why I called you here. You are a concubine in the harem, but not a queen. I don't expect you to be cautious in everything you say and do. If that's the case, it's annoying." Queen Mother Li waved her hand. "Yes." Zhenmei breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Ai family called you here to ask you what you have planned for Jing Xiuyi's birthday tomorrow?" Queen Mother Li asked.
"Yes, giving her a pair of jade bracelets is also a good thing. I am a beauty, no matter how nice it is, it is not appropriate."
"That's good. The Ai family came here to tell you to be careful about the things you send out. Secondly, they asked you not to be impatient." Empress Dowager Li held her hand: "You are a beauty now, so naturally you don't have enough status. But nothing can be rushed, you have only been in the palace for less than a year."
"Yes, aunt, don't worry, I know this." Zhenmei said.
"I thought the emperor would promote everyone to the throne during the Chinese New Year, but since he hasn't, it's hard for the Yi family to ask him to promote you. Although you are a beauty, you are different after all. Life is not sad either." Queen Mother Li patted her hand. : "If you want to stand firm for a long time, you have to strive for success. It is best to have children, even if you are a princess."
"Yes. I... I also actively take supplements. The imperial doctor said that I am in good health." Zhenmei was shy.
"Now you have time to sleep with me every month, so don't worry, you will always have time." Empress Dowager Li smiled.
"Yes, but aunt, I sometimes wonder, Jing Xiuyi...does the emperor really love her so much?" Zhenmei was puzzled.
"She. First of all, she has a good appearance, and her temper... This temper is not good to say, but it is good if the emperor likes it. Then she will live up to the Shen family. She has a good belly. But this is not the point, you know What is the most important thing?" Queen Mother Li looked into Zhenmei's eyes.
Zhenmei was stunned. Isn't this the whole reason
"I am stupid."
"She is uniquely endowed, but in this harem, she is not the only one who has these foundations. Is Song Zhaoyi's family well-off? Is Yingmei's family well-off? You don't need to mention it. Whether she has a son or not, he will be favored by the emperor. But the most important thing is What's the point?"
"Jing Xiuyi is a smart woman. You see she has a bad temper and dares to hit people at every turn, but how can she be unreasonable?"
"You heard that every time she caused trouble, was the emperor really angry?"
"Then what happened with Shen Baolin last time, she...can't say it's reasonable, right?" Zhenmei was dissatisfied.
"What a coincidence that the word "Chen" is on it! Then Shen Baolin is her cousin!" Queen Mother Li smiled and shook her head: "Even if she didn't make trouble, the emperor would not ask Shen Baolin to climb up. Feng Baolin is normal. , After all, the Shen family is a meritorious family, and Shen Baolin’s father is still a general stationed on the border, so how could he not even give it to Baolin? "
"Jing Xiuyi is brilliant because she told the emperor clearly that she would not allow Shen Baolin to stand out. How appropriate for the emperor to throw away the crime of not favoring Shen Baolin on Jing Xiuyi? Everyone said that Jing Xiuyi was jealous and jealous. How? The emperor still goes to her place. Just like this time, there are not many people in the harem who can sleep with her. "
Empress Dowager Li patted her niece's hand again: "The emperor likes smart women. But he prefers women who are smart and measured. And compared to this, he prefers women who are smart, measured and interesting to him. Otherwise Kant Why is the concubine not favored?"
Queen Mother Li had watched Concubine Kangde for many years and naturally knew that Concubine Kangde was smart.
If a person of bad origin can serve the emperor, what kind of appearance can be bad
"Yes, I have learned a lesson. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your teaching." The beautiful lady stood up and blessed herself.
"Okay, get up. You are still young and have been pampered by your family since you were raised. Naturally, you are in a different situation from Jing Xiuyi when you were young. There is no need to imitate her, and the emperor will not like the same thing. But you must remember to be careful when doing things in the future. It would be nice if one day the emperor no longer needs to care about the Ai family when he favors you."
