Facing everyone's different looks, Concubine Su stood up.
"I have been taking care of myself for a year and I am now in good health. Today I came to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, but I am not strong enough and walk slowly. I came a little late, so I sat at the back. Please forgive me, Her Majesty."
Since the miscarriage, Su has been bedridden. After all, she was five or six months pregnant and it was too harmful to her body.
Today, she doesn't look as good as before.
Because she has some Zasak blood, she used to look somewhat heroic like a girl of the grassland, but now she can only be described as thin.
The most obvious thing is her thick hair, which is now dry and yellow, and not as thick as before.
"Poor thing, how can I blame you? Please sit down. You have also suffered a lot and it makes me feel sorry for you." The queen waved her hand.
Concubine Su bowed and sat down quietly.
As soon as I sat down, I felt someone's eyes falling on me.
When he looked up, his eyes met Yao Xiang's.
Before Yao Xiang could retract his inquiring and guarded gaze, he was bumped into by Su. He lowered his eyes awkwardly and lowered his head to drink tea.
Concubine Su glanced at her twice and also looked away.
But their states of mind were completely different.
At that time, Yao Xiang was under house arrest by Ning Chen in a drastic manner. Time was running out and he could hardly protect himself, let alone make proper arrangements for the Su family.
After being under house arrest for a long time, he was finally released. How could he care about Su, who seemed to be a useless pawn
Later, when I got pregnant, I couldn't think of this person anymore.
There is no need to talk about what happened afterwards. Without anyone to protect her secretly, Su herself was out of favor and had a miscarriage. Life must have been difficult during that time.
It's rare that she managed to pull through.
Although Yao Xiang couldn't be said to feel guilty, he was somewhat worried.
After all, he was also worried that Su would hate him because of this and do something.
Thinking of this, Yao Xiang made up his mind that he could not keep Su.
And at this moment the queen suddenly said.
"Feihong Pavilion is close to Fuyuan Pavilion. I heard some time ago that Wang Cainu and Zheng Cairen don't seem to get along well. If this continues, I'm afraid they will get along badly. Now that Concubine Su is not feeling well, it would be a good idea to find someone to live with her and take care of each other. Why not ask Zheng Cairen to move to Feihong Pavilion?"
Wang Cainü was very happy to hear this.
Ever since she didn't get anything good from Ye Jun last time, and Zheng Cairen ignored her when she went back, her face was completely ruined.
But Zheng Cairen has a higher position than her and has a backer, so she can suppress her everywhere.
Now that the Queen asked Concubine Zheng to move out, she was extremely happy.
He quickly said, "Sister Zheng has always been very considerate and I think she is very good at taking care of people. Your Majesty's arrangement is really the best."
"Since Zheng Cairen can take care of others, why can't she take care of you?" Wan Wanrong sneered.
Qi Wanrong rarely got involved and said expressionlessly, "Maybe Wang Cainu is a little too delicate and difficult to take care of."
This is interesting.
Why is the Wang family so disliked, with everyone bullying them
But now Ye Jun is in a high position, so if the concubines quarrel, there is no need to rush to deal with them.
Just watch the show first.
We have to see if Zheng will say something herself.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Zheng Cairen stand up.
"My queen, I have a quick temper and I don't think I can do this delicate job of taking care of people. Wang Cainu is more suitable. I see that she is very good at sewing. She is probably a truly careful person."
But it was obvious that the queen didn't intend to listen to her and interrupted her directly.
"Needlework is good, but Wang Cainu is still young, and she is not as steady as you who have been in the palace for many years. This matter is settled."
"I shouldn't have rejected your Majesty's opinion, but I have something to say."
At this point, Ye Jun could no longer sit there and watch the show. With an embarrassed look on his face, he spoke softly.
The emperor's eyes darkened, and his voice became colder, "Ming Xiuyi, what do you want to say?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Zhou Wanrong often told me a while ago that living alone was boring. I thought that Zheng Cairen and Zhou Wanrong had a good relationship, so I asked the emperor yesterday to ask Zheng Cairen to move to Fuyun Palace to live with Zhou Wanrong, and the emperor agreed."
Whether it was said or not, the queen didn't know either, and it was even more impossible for her to ask the emperor for confirmation because of such a small matter.
Anyway, Ye Jun insisted that he had said it and the emperor agreed.
The queen was unsure and did not dare to speak.
After a long while, he said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Since the emperor has already made arrangements, then let's do as the emperor wishes. Zheng Cairen, you should pack up and move to Fuyun Palace in the next two days."
"Yes, I obey your command." Zheng bowed and sat down.
At last, he gave Ye Jun a grateful smile.
Ye Jun also curled his lips slightly in response.
Although the emperor did not do anything explicit about the loss of Concubine Su's fetus, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was closely related to the Yao family.
Living in Feihong Pavilion and keeping company with Su would inevitably lead to being involved in some unclear things, and it is not a good place to stay.
The Queen targeted the unfavored Concubine Zheng today simply because she was close to Ye Jun.
Ye Jun is not Yao Xiang. She will definitely protect her own people within her ability.
Otherwise, how can you make others submit to you willingly
She has always believed that relying on leverage to threaten and induce interests is the most unreliable means of forming alliances.
Zheng Cairen picked it up safely, but Wang, who had no one to protect her, was not so lucky.
Wan Wanrong suggested, "Now that Concubine Zheng has moved away, Concubine Wang will inevitably feel lonely. Why not move out with her? That way, she can keep Concubine Su company."
The queen, who had just been humiliated by Ye Jun, was very angry. How could she allow her face to be humiliated again and again? She made the decision immediately.
Wang Cainü moved in with Su Jieyu, and Zheng Cairen moved in with Zhou Wanrong.
Fuyuan Pavilion happened to be vacant, and during the war, it also saved the cost of daily repairs and maintenance.
Even if Wang was extremely unhappy, it would be of no avail.
It's also her fault that she's too stupid and has ruined her popularity.
When she failed to join Ye Jun, Wang went around visiting high-ranking officials, doing things here and there, going to one family today and another family tomorrow, and making all the favored and high-ranking officials in the harem very annoyed.
Originally, the queen wanted to train her, but when she saw that she was too stupid, she gave up.
Instead, he managed to win over Han Cainü, who was quite pretty.
After paying their respects, everyone dispersed.
Ye Jun went back in the sedan chair and chatted with Huiyue on the way.
"I see that the qualifications of this batch of newcomers entering the palace are not very good. A few with good family backgrounds are still okay, but Li Cairen is a little bit worse. The others with bad family backgrounds are almost all wiped out."
