Everyone in the harem was still watching the emperor reward Concubine Jing and help Yao Meiren up.
At night, the emperor came here again.
In Cuiyun Pavilion, the servants rushed to report that the emperor was here.
Li Zhaoyi hurriedly got dressed and went to wait at the door. She was grounded and naturally couldn't go out.
The imperial driver passed by Cuiyunxuan but did not stop. Although Li Zhaoyi greeted him from afar, the emperor ignored him.
The charming Li Zhaoyi's flirtatious looks were all in vain.
Twisting the handkerchief, he watched Yujia walk away angrily.
Laba ran back in small steps and said, "Hello, Madam Zhaoyi, the Emperor has something to say and tells you to be grounded properly. Don't wander around."
Li Zhaoyi was so angry that her lungs were about to burst: "Yes."
Yujia naturally entered the Jade Palace, but Shen Chuliu did not come out to greet him.
On the other hand, Beauty Yao came out and knelt in the corridor: "I respectfully welcome the Holy Master and thank Him for His grace."
Qi Yi hummed for a moment, then paused to help her up: "My dear, you don't have to be like this. My dear, you have been wronged today. Go back and rest."
Yao Meiren bowed her head in agreement, thanked the emperor again, and then withdrew.
She had tears in her eyes, how many years had it been? She is like a wooden pile in front of the emperor!
The emperor couldn't see her, and she didn't dare to say a word.
She knew that the emperor's support today meant that the emperor didn't care about those things back then.
These are all the benefits of empress.
She didn't know what the empress said when she went to Tai Chi Palace, but she must have said it, otherwise how could the emperor remember her for no reason
In the main hall, Shen Chuliu smiled brightly: "The emperor is here. I wish you well."
"What are you doing, my beloved concubine?" Qi Yixiu came over and held her hand.
"I'm painting, but it's dark and I can't draw well." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
She must have learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't have much interest in it.
Just to entertain myself occasionally.
Today, on a whim, I was painting the orchids that Qi Yan brought for her.
Qi Yixiu shook his head after seeing her painting: "Your painting is quite unique, but I have never seen anything like this."
She just doesn't look good. Shen Chuliu snorted: "Of course it's not as good as Ning Zhaorong, and it's not as good as Yan's beauty."
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine? Could it be that she was jealous today?" Qi Yixiu said in a funny tone.
"You're old and yellow, and it's useless to leave in a vinegar vat." Shen Chuliu shook his handkerchief.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Stop making trouble, I will draw it for you."
As he said that, he picked up a pen and started tracing for her slowly. Just adding a few strokes to her original painting, she really painted orchids with a gentlemanly style.
I have to say, it’s quite charming.
"Excellent." Shen Chuliu said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really powerful."
"My concubine praises me, so my hard work is not in vain." Qi Yixiu put down his pen and washed his hands under the care of the slaves.
"Eat dinner early, let's serve some snacks." Qi Yixiu sat down.
Shen Chuliu happened to want to eat, so he simply asked someone to serve him a supper.
After a while, the two of them were eating hot noodles, which tasted very good.
The atmosphere in the Yufu Palace was excellent. The emperor is here now, and naturally he is here to stay overnight.
Therefore, the newcomers in the harem were thanking Concubine Jing during the day for her intervention, which made Li Zhaoyi fall into trouble. At least they would not be able to sleep with her during the confinement period.
In this way, the newcomers will be able to get ahead easily.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing herself went to bed in the evening. I really don’t know what to say. Anyway, there are quite a few people who curse people behind their backs.
The atmosphere at the greetings the next day was subtle. Li Zhaoyi, who had been in the limelight for a few days, was grounded, and the rest of the newlyweds had not yet gone to bed...
"Sure enough, Concubine Jing is always favored." Ning Zhaorong said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words." Shen Chuliu said calmly.
"We have all heard about what happened yesterday. Congratulations to Beauty Yao." Concubine Qianshu smiled: "You came from Qiandi, and you have a serious position after so many years. It's just a pity. , If you can’t do it yourself, Concubine Jing will have to make plans for you.”
This is provocation.
"Thank you very much, Concubine Qianshu, but I am incompetent. I have been with Concubine Jing for many years, and I can only be grateful for my concubine's plans. I have a bad background, and now I have to hurry up."
Yao Meiren's words were also rude, sarcastically saying that Concubine Qian Shu's high status was not because of her mother's family
Concubine Qianshu snorted but didn't answer.
"Speaking of which, Beauty Yao has been following Concubine Jing for many years. Now she is no more than a beauty..." Concubine Li shook her head.
"Chen Xiaoyi and Concubine Li entered the palace on the same day. Didn't they always take good care of them that day? What happened in the past two years? No more contact?" Shen Chuliu smiled and looked at Chen Xiaoyi: "Don't get separated from Concubine Li. Life in the palace is not going well. Better."
Chen Xiaoyi's face turned red and white.
She was secretly taken care of by Concubine Li, but she really didn't like Concubine Li.
Li Fei glanced at Chen Xiaoyi and was so distressed that she stopped talking.
After the queen came out, everyone's bickering came to an end and they were preparing for the second round.
However, the queen asked what she needed to ask and said what she needed to say. Xue Cairen stood up and said, "Empress, my concubine has been feeling unwell lately. Because she didn't dare to disturb her, she went to see the imperial doctor herself. I'm afraid I'm afraid of it." I'm pregnant, but I didn't dare to tell you because it wasn't accurate at that time. Now, if I'm pregnant, it should be three months later. Please ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it."
Everyone was stunned, this Xue Cairen was hiding something very secretly.
"In that case, let's go and take a look here. If it happens, it will be a happy event." The queen waved her hand.
Xue Cairen has kept a low profile these years and occasionally visits his bedside. He is not considered favored, but the emperor also remembers this person.
So the queen's impression of her was pretty good.
Everyone was talking to each other, both good and bad. Xue Cairen just dealt with it and waited for the imperial doctor.
Not long after, the imperial doctor arrived and asked for pulse in the palace.
Sure enough, after a while, it was confirmed: "Returning to the queen, Xuecai is more than three months pregnant and the fetus is stable."
"Oh? That's good, reward! Xue Cairen, take good care of the baby." The queen smiled: "Go and tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor the news."
The eunuch smiled and agreed and left.
The imperial doctor received the reward and left.
Everyone, no matter how bitter they are, is congratulated.
This one is really too low-key. She got pregnant without any news at all. Now that she has revealed it, the fetus is stable.
And I said it openly, but it was more insurance.
Sure enough, Qi Yixiu was very happy when he got the news. He did not immediately promote Xue Cairen to the throne, but he rewarded him with many things.
That night, of course, I went to Xue Cairen's residence.
Logically speaking, talented people can't pick up the driver, but it's a different matter if she's pregnant.
In Yongning Palace, Qian Jieyu and Xue Cairen now live in the side hall. Xue Cairen is pregnant, so naturally he has to suppress Qian Jieyu who has fallen out of favor.
Things were changing, and even though Qian Jieyu was jealous, she was too scared to do anything now.
Suddenly, there was another noble master in the harem. Make newcomers envious.
I'm fine today, I have a little diarrhea, I guess I caught a cold.
