"It is a good thing for the royal family to have a concubine who is pregnant. You are all still young, so there is no need to be envious or anxious. You can all have children."
The Queen smiled and spoke.
"Although there are already five children in the palace, it is not too many. Now that Ming Xiurong is pregnant, the emperor is very happy. Yesterday he told me to clean up Zhao Chunxuan and let her move in next year. This means that her position will also be moved during the New Year."
Although Ning Chen didn't say that we must not tell anyone, but since he mentioned that he would be promoted after the New Year, it probably meant that we had to wait a while.
So the queen deliberately didn't say anything final.
The main purpose was to leak some information out, just in case some capable person could come up with a way to prevent Ye's advancement.
Having said that, the queen was not in good spirits, so she didn't keep these people for long.
The concubines came out of Fengqi Palace and were unusually quiet.
The main reason was that the two pregnant targets didn't come, and it was the queen who slept with him last night, so no one dared to be jealous, and they had no place to use their energy.
The consequence of having no place to use this energy was that when Yi Shunrong met Yao Xiang who was out for a walk on the way back, she mocked him harshly.
"Oh, the emperor is pregnant. Why does he only go to Yuxiu Pavilion and not Weiruixuan? Oh no, Ming Xiurong will move to Zhaochunxuan soon. It is much bigger than Weiruixuan."
Yao Xiang's face turned black, but the person in front of her was of a much higher status than her, so even though she felt uncomfortable, she had to endure it.
"Shunrong, you are joking. I am only a concubine, how can I compare with Ming Xiurong, who is a concubine."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that since you are no longer a concubine, you can't live in the main hall of Weiruixuan. You should move to the side room immediately. You can't break the rules. It's okay if I saw it, but if others knew, they might think you deliberately violated the palace rules."
Yi Shunrong curled his lips into a cold smile, then turned around and gave instructions to Yunxiu beside him.
"I'm afraid Concubine Fang doesn't have enough people around her. You can take two people to help her move her things. It's also a kind gesture from me."
Yao Xiang had no time to refuse, and Yunxiu immediately called four young eunuchs over.
Yao Xiang gritted her teeth in anger, but she was indeed in the wrong and could only endure it in silence.
So that morning, with Yunxiu's diligent help, Yao Xiang moved from the spacious main hall to the side hall in half a day.
Looking at the room that had shrunk by half its size, Yao Xiang was so angry that he smashed the teacup beside him as soon as Yunxiu left.
Zizhu was so scared that she hurried to comfort him.
"Jieyu, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. You are pregnant now. Yi Shunrong must have done this to irritate you. Don't let her trick you!"
"Even though we are both pregnant, Ye Shi is precious. Am I carrying a stone in my belly? The emperor doesn't value me, and even these bitches dare to abuse me!"
Yao Xiang was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he smashed the teapot again out of frustration.
There was half a pot of tea in it, which splashed all over the floor and wet her skirt.
Zizhu was also angry, but she was really worried about Yao Xiang's stomach, so she could only persuade her kindly to change her clothes first.
"Jieyu, why don't we go and tell the Emperor?" Nianwen frowned.
"Stupid girl, do you want to make the emperor hate me even more?!" Yao Xiang glared at her fiercely, "I am not a concubine, so I cannot live in the main palace. Yi Shunrong did nothing wrong. I finally got well again with the help of my father, brother and this pregnancy. I must be more cautious. Why make a big deal out of such a small matter? I am still not in the right."
Nianwen was scolded and looked embarrassed for a moment, then she quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
Yao Xiang waved his hand and let her go out first, leaving only Zizhu to serve her personally.
On the other side, Ye Jun had just finished lunch when Yuan Jiu arrived.
Following behind him was an oval-faced woman who looked to be in her forties.
She was wearing a dark blue round-necked jacket, her hair was combed meticulously and fixed with two plain silver hairpins, and there were no other decorations.
He looks like a neat person.
"I pay my respects to Xiurong. This is Madam Liang, whom the Emperor ordered me to bring. From now on, I will be responsible for taking care of Xiurong's diet and daily life, and ensuring her pregnancy."
Yuan Jiu smiled and bowed, then took a step aside and asked the woman behind him to stand in front.
Liang has fair skin and regular facial features. She must have been a pretty lady when she was young.
"This servant Liang is here to pay her respects to Xiurong."
"No need to be so polite, Ma'am. From now on, I will be relying on you to take care of my belly." Ye Jun smiled kindly.
Huiyue who was beside him immediately stepped forward and stuffed a heavy purse into his pocket.
Liang was shocked when she saw it.
When I came here, I heard Manager Yuan say that this master was very generous and would reward you if you did a good job. I didn't expect that he would give me so much the first time we met.
After receiving it, he quickly expressed his gratitude.
But after all, he was an old man who had worked in the palace for many years. Although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
steady.
This made Ye Jun feel quite satisfied.
The first impression is good.
Bai Zhu personally sent Yuan Jiu out, and Ye Jun brought Nanny Liang into the house.
We have to have a chat first and set some rules.
Her original intention was to find someone to serve her, not someone to take care of her.
"I always speak directly. Since we will be together for a long time, I have to tell Mammy some things in advance."
"Xiurong is very polite. I will do whatever you say." Nanny Liang said respectfully.
It's obvious that he's a smart guy who knows how to appreciate things.
Dealing with smart people is not difficult.
Ye Jun then explained his rules very clearly.
First of all, when it comes to eating, she adheres to the three elements of safety, nutrition and taste.
Unless necessary, everything she puts into her mouth must try to meet these three points.
Also, don't take pregnancy-maintaining drugs or any other weird medicines.
Ning Chen knew all this, and Doctor Shen also agreed, so Liang was surprised but didn't say anything.
As for the little maids in Yuxiu Pavilion, they were all put under the supervision of Liang, but they were only allowed to make decisions regarding her pregnancy and were not allowed to make any comments on anything else.
Most of the time, that's just these two points.
Nanny Liang also accepted it.
During this conversation, Ye Jun found out that this Nanny Liang was actually the cousin of Nanny Qin who served the emperor.
With such a relationship, it is obvious that Nanny Liang was someone specially chosen by Ning Chen.
Maybe it was Nanny Qin who recommended her personally.
In this case, her background is naturally clean.
After saying everything that needed to be said, Ye Jun asked Nan Zhi to take Liang down and settle her down first.
He had been living here for almost a year, and since he was a gift from the emperor, he was given a separate room.
Liang had never expected to receive such treatment. Besides being flattered, she also had a better impression of the master of grooming.
In the afternoon, Ye Jun took a nap as usual.
When she woke up, Lumei and Luzhi were waiting outside.
The two men helped her up and first served her a cup of warm water to moisten her throat.
Then Luzhi smiled and told what happened in Weiruixuan today.
