This woman doesn't deserve sympathy either. Although some things that happened back then have been buried and cannot be revealed. But she has to bear the blame.
How can you know that this is not retribution
"It's just like that. Although Meng Baolin's health is broken and she no longer attends the bed, the emperor still occasionally asks her to serve a meal. Yi Chongyuan has not had any private contact with the emperor since that time. Four The rewards in the Shiba Festival are all according to the rules, and there are no extra rewards. "Jimei shook her head: "It's been a long time, nothing is free of money. She was born in an ordinary family, and her status was not high when she was favored. In recent years. , I guess there’s nothing left.”
"Yes, I am sick and I take medicine all year round." Zhemei also said.
"Every time at this time, I have to sigh, fortunately I still have a family background." She has a lot of money in her hands, and it is not difficult to support her life in the palace.
What's more, the more favored you are, the more everything goes smoothly.
Yi Chongyuan now relies entirely on money, so it is naturally difficult.
"It's not just you. Yao Baolin has been much more comfortable following you these years. Speaking of which, Rong Jieyu's status is much higher than hers, but he has never been so comfortable." Zhemei said with a smile.
"Yes, but fortunately Yao Baolin is of the same mind as us, and he likes the sixth prince wholeheartedly. The sixth prince is going to live in Ruiqing Palace in a few years, and she has made a lot of things for him."
Shen Chuliu watched Zhemei and Jimei chatting, saying something from time to time. It's quite interesting.
Everything is good and everything is lacking here, so naturally there are some bad things.
For example, Yi Chongyuan just returned from the Queen's stay.
Yi Chongyuan looked at the half-new Furongxuan, and she didn't know how to calm down.
When she was favored, she used silver wire charcoal every year, so there was no shortage of it.
In winter, there is no need to go get it, someone will naturally send it to you.
But now... Yes, it is no longer favored. Silver charcoal cannot be used, but even the second-grade red charcoal is not enough.
She was indeed too afraid of the cold and needed more, but the charcoal sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not good. Out of ten pieces, four were unburnable stone charcoal...
Although the queen is generous, she doesn't want to give everything. If she asks for everything, wouldn't that be troublesome
So even if you give it to her, don’t give it too much.
Yi Chongyuan felt cold in her heart as she listened to the slaves outside busy celebrating the New Year.
Carrot carbon is already a very bad thing, and even the palace ladies who want to lose face don't use it.
The best in the palace is gold wire carbon, which is used by the queen mothers and empresses of the two palaces.
However, there is also a good kind of silver frost charcoal that is used by the emperor alone. I heard that the prince is also using it now.
Silver wire charcoal is also precious. Only favored concubines with high status can use it. Princesses also use it.
Usually it is red charcoal, but worse than black charcoal, it is too smokey to withstand burning.
But someone like Yi Chongyuan, who is weak and afraid of the cold, cannot use this red radish charcoal. The charcoal burns too hot and is not good for the body.
But she had no choice, she couldn't even supply it.
When I think about that year, I really don’t want to live anymore.
But who wants to die
Just enduring it year after year makes people numb.
Yi Chongyuan has gray hair.
The longer I endured it, the less energetic I became. The less energy there is, the harder it is to endure.
I don't know when it will end.
The palace maid Lian Xin brought hot tea, but Yi Chongyuan was indeed cold, so she picked it up and took a sip.
She has long been used to it, and the tea here is nothing good.
She likes green tea, but she should drink new green tea...
The old green tea tastes very strange in the mouth, but the green tea she has here is limited to the new ones she can get every year.
I don't dare to drink it myself, so I always keep some to entertain guests. "Don't use this tea in the future. Change it to something else, something cheaper, or make some chrysanthemums. If that doesn't work, just use plain water." Yi Chongyuan drank the tea and whispered her instructions.
Lian Xin hurriedly responded, but she was also very worried. Furongxuan was really getting worse every year.
Think about what it was like when the master was still pampered...
I really don’t dare to think about it. The more I think about it, the less hope I have.
The weather is as cold as ever.
When it was the sixth prince's birthday, the emperor came over as usual.
The sixth prince celebrated his birthday by himself, and he was very happy. He had many gifts. Although he threw them away after seeing them, he still liked them.
Since the emperor came, he naturally stayed.
I just didn't expect that at this time and under this situation, Concubine Qian's old habit would relapse in the middle of the night. He came to invite the emperor again!
Shen Chuliu was sleeping soundly, but the sound of calling someone on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year also woke her up.
She almost wanted to get angry, but Qi Yixiu got angry first: "Tell her that if she wants to be demoted, she can just commit suicide again!"
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I answered yes, thinking that Concubine Qian was really stubborn!
But this time, the wolf really came.
Because the emperor was angry, Concubine Qian did not dare to beg again, so she had no choice but to beg the queen.
In fact, he should have gone to the queen first, but she had to go to the emperor first.
The queen was also awakened.
"It's said that Concubine Qian is giving birth." Peilan came in and said.
"When is this, why is the baby about to happen?" The queen frowned: "It's not enough months, right?"
"It's not enough, but it doesn't look like this slave is lying. She said she went to Cuiyunxuan first and was scolded by the emperor before coming to our place. This is really unruly," Peilan said.
"Forget it, ask the imperial doctor and Po Wen to prepare. I won't go, it's so late at night." The queen didn't like Concubine Qian, so she naturally didn't want to go: "You go and keep an eye on her."
Peilan agreed and went to do things.
The emperor didn't come in the middle of the night, and neither did the queen. Naturally, other concubines didn't dare to come either.
The emperor really didn't know that she was going to give birth, and he blamed himself for always making excuses about pregnancy, and no one believed him anymore.
As for the queen, she thought that the emperor thought so. Even if something happened, she would be the same as the emperor. The emperor would suspect that she was a demon, but wouldn't the queen? In this cold weather, the Chinese New Year is coming again.
Therefore, Concubine Qian's life was deserted and embarrassing.
But she was really going to give birth. It was not difficult to give birth to a seven-month-old child.
Near dawn, the emperor's tenth prince was actually born.
It’s just that the child is very small, barely weighing five pounds.
In the morning, when Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu got up, they dared to report on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year: "Congratulations to the Emperor, Concubine Qian has given birth to the tenth prince. Both mother and son are safe."
In fact, the tenth prince was born prematurely and was very weak. But compared to the seventh prince born to the Han family in the past, it was much better. At least the imperial doctor believed that the child could survive.
Qi Yixiu was stunned: "Have you given birth?"
I was thinking about it on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and this really happened!
"Yes, she gave birth." You said this. You usually don't seek death, so you wouldn't be surprised if you gave birth, right
Shen Chuliu was also surprised: "It's pretty fast?"
"Back to Zhaoyi, it's almost time, but she was born prematurely." Chusi explained hurriedly.
