When paying respects today, naturally there was another round of verbal battle.
Concubine Su is exactly three months pregnant and was among those who came to pay their respects today. She was surrounded and besieged.
After all, she has a baby in her belly, so she is much more resilient than before.
With Fang Xiuyuan's help, he did not lose to the continuous attacks of Shufei and Yi Xiuyuan, so it was a draw.
The Queen was actually trying to bring the war towards Ye Jun.
But Ye Jun was tired today. He was in a bad mood because he didn't get enough sleep. His gloomy face made him look like a powder keg.
No one dared to take action.
After all, everyone in the palace knows Ye Jun's temper. He dared to engage in a one-on-two argument at the Mid-Autumn State Banquet and won in the end. This kind of fighting power cannot be easily provoked.
But there are always some people who get carried away and want to test the waters.
After coming out of Fengqi Palace, the concubines left in order according to their rank. Those with high enough rank rode in the sedan chair, while those who did not have high enough rank walked on their own.
Although Yao Xiang and Yi Xiuyuan were of the same status, Yi Xiuyuan had a son, so Yao Xiang let her go first.
But before Ye Jun got into the sedan chair, he saw Concubine Su's sedan chair rising up behind Yao.
I didn't want to argue with her, but I couldn't help but feel bad about it.
When passing by Ye Jun, Su smiled and turned back, "I am not feeling well, so I am leaving first. I shouldn't have walked ahead of Ming Xiurong, but this stomach... please forgive me, Xiurong."
"Since you know you shouldn't walk in front of me, why do you still do it knowingly?" Ye Jun glanced at him coldly and raised his hand to stop the servants who were carrying the sedan chair.
Concubine Su raised her eyebrows, "I have already apologized, are you still nagging me about my appearance? I don't mind, but the dragon heir in my belly cannot stand being frightened."
During this period, there was no one in the harem who could suppress Su, and she was pregnant, and had been pampered by the servants for several months. She was indeed a little overwhelmed.
As for why he wanted to go against Ye Jun.
One reason is that she developed a yearning for Kyoto and the imperial palace when she saw Ye Jun in gorgeous clothes on the grassland. In her heart, Ye Jun was her original goal.
Now that he felt that his goal had been achieved, and even exceeded, he couldn't help but think that Ye Jun was just so-so, and wanted to step on him.
Furthermore, Su thought that she was pregnant, and the first thing the emperor should do after returning to the palace was to visit her. However, not only did the emperor not go, he also stayed overnight in Yuxiu Pavilion.
For Concubine Su, this made her feel that she did not get the attention she thought she deserved, and it was all because Ye Jun was so charming that she seduced the emperor away.
But she would never take herself too seriously, especially when Ye Jun was in a bad mood.
"Su, you'd better come down by yourself, otherwise, I will help you down myself." Ye Jun looked at her gloomily, "You should know my temper. If you really value your belly, you'd better be honest. I'm always ruthless."
This uncompromising attitude was obviously something that Concubine Su had not expected.
In her opinion, no matter how brave Ye Jun was, he would not dare to do anything to her. But at this moment, Ye Jun's expression clearly showed that he would pull her down at any time.
She wanted to ask for help, but Yao's sedan chair had already gone a long way and there was no way it could return.
After thinking it over again and again, she finally didn't dare to take the risk and got off the sedan chair with gritted teeth.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jun slapped the maid Baicao beside her in the face with her backhand.
Although it wasn't her that was hit, the slap was so sudden and forceful that it really scared Su.
"You'd better pray that you can carry the child forever and never give birth to him. The amulet may work for a day, but it won't last forever."
Ye Jun took half a step forward, got closer to Su, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Although it was a warning, there was an intimate smile on his face, and he reached out and touched Su's belly, which had just bulged slightly.
From a distance, it looked more like two sisters were whispering to each other.
In the end, Ye Yun's sedan chair naturally went first.
In fact, Su Shi is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When facing Ye Jun, who is not soft-handed, he dares not to be dishonest.
What she didn't expect was that Ye Jun's slap didn't fall on her face, but Yao's slap was merciless.
It was a loud and crisp slap.
Su, covering her face, subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but Zizhu held her firmly and kindly asked her to sit on the embroidery stool.
"Why did you go and mess with Ye Shi for no reason? Do you think you are as important as her in the emperor's heart? She is in the emperor's favor, but you didn't behave yourself and let the emperor see your demureness. Instead, you took advantage of your pregnancy to mess around. It's your own fault that the child is gone!"
Yao Xiang was really furious. He didn't expect the Su family to do such a stupid thing.
"But I'm pregnant. Does she really dare to touch me?" Concubine Su was still a little unconvinced.
"As long as you didn't have a miscarriage, why wouldn't she dare?" Yao Xiang glanced at her. "If you die, the Third Prince of Zasak can send another sister to the palace, but General Ye, who died for his country, and the loyal and brave marquis who guarded the border, only has Ye as a daughter and a sister. Tell me, who is more important, you or Ye."
These few light words made Su feel cold in her heart.
Although I was unwilling to accept it, I finally became more sober.
In the harem, favor is indeed important, but family background is also important.
Is it true that Concubine Shu was able to be ranked as a first-rank concubine because she gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter? There is also Concubine Wang who can give birth to a daughter.
If you look into it more deeply, it is because Shufei's maternal family, the Yan family, is the second-rank commander of Yuzhou and holds military power.
And there is another example, that of Concubine Chen, which needs no further explanation.
Compared with these, Su Jieyu's identity as the illegitimate sister of the Third Prince of Zasak is nothing, as the Third Prince has many illegitimate sisters.
Seeing that she had thought it through, Yao Xiang waved his hands irritably and told her to go back and rest.
Just as Concubine Su reached the door, she heard a reminder from behind.
"Just pretend that nothing happened today. Don't go back and complain of stomach discomfort. Ask the imperial physician to take a look. There are so many eyes watching outside Fengqi Palace. Ye Shi really didn't do anything to you."
Su's breathing stagnated, as if her thoughts were seen through. She bowed with a stiff face, "Yes, I understand."
But compared to Yao Xiang, who has lived two lives, she is still a little immature.
With this change in expression, he was seen through.
After the people left, Yao Xiang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
She now somewhat disliked Su's stupidity, but stupidity was fine, at least she could easily control him.
On the other side, Ye Jun returned to Yuxiu Pavilion still feeling unhappy.
Seeing her gloomy face, the servants dared not say a word, for fear of getting angry.
Bai Zhu thought about it, and then asked a little eunuch to go outside and bring back the happy Nian Gao.
After the dog made such a fuss, Ye Jun’s anger was mostly relieved.
While I was drinking tea, I heard a message outside saying that Zhou Cairen had arrived.
Ye Jun then remembered that he had an appointment today.
In fact, after paying her respects just now, Zhou wanted to come along, but Ye Jun was in a bad mood, so he got on the sedan chair and left first. She didn't have a sedan chair, so she walked all the way, so she was slower.
