Concubine Mi didn't think of what to do for a while, but Concubine Shen started to do it while rubbing her stomach.
She was afraid that others would not know how she looked pregnant, and her face was full of happiness. When the other concubines saw this, they couldn't help but say a few sour words.
Concubine Xi was the first to speak, and she glanced at her flat belly enviously: "Congratulations to my concubine, I don't know whether this is a boy or a girl. I hope my sister can give Your Majesty a baby." What about the prince! Your Majesty doesn’t have a prince yet, if my sister gave birth to a prince, how can I compare with my sister in this entire palace?”
After giving birth to her son, Shen Yuqing will be able to climb up to the queen's head logically, so she asked the empress if you can bear it!
Concubine Xi has always felt that the queen is difficult to deal with, although the empress looks like she has always been indifferent to the world. But that was also because the other concubines couldn't get past the queen no matter how much they jumped.
This time it's different, Concubine Shen Gui is already the deputy empress, and she will be the eldest son of the emperor......
Concubine Xi didn't think the queen could sit still.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the empress's expression changed slightly.
Concubine Shen Gui didn't seem to notice, she still caressed her belly and smiled triumphantly: "It depends on good fortune to give birth to a son and a daughter. I don't know that the baby in my stomach is a boy or a girl. Your majesty told me, Regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, he pampers her, so I won't worry about it anymore."
This was what An Jieyu said before, Concubine Shen didn't even change it much, so she just copied it. But the lethality was still as great as ever, and the faces of the concubines became ugly after hearing this.
Because they knew that what Shen Yuqing said was the truth.
She, Concubine Shen, has the capital to say this, An Jieyu said so, and others can still say a few words inwardly, mocking her for swollen face to pretend to be fat. After all, An Jieyu wasn't very favored, so what she said was very watery. Who knew if the emperor ever said that both men and women like him
But Concubine Shen is different. The imperial concubine has always favored the harem since she entered the palace. No matter who gets the favor, the emperor never loses face to the imperial concubine or empress. If the favorite concubine dares to confront Concubine Shen Gui, hehe, see the former Concubine Mi for the end.
So Concubine Shen Gui had the confidence to say this, and everyone did not doubt the authenticity at all.
A child is precious according to his mother, and his biological mother is favored, so what if he is a princess? The emperor will still love it. Haven't you seen that Princess Qingxi has only been raised by Concubine Shen Guifei for a few months, and she has changed from a pitiful little girl who no one cares about to the emperor's most beloved daughter? They are all princesses now!
Oh, when it comes to this point, everyone can't help but think about the fact that the empress took Qingxi's love by her side and raised her.
—The Queen and Concubine Shen should have fallen out long ago in private, right
Everyone looked at the empress empress with burning eyes.
However, the empress, who was with the old god, did not choke with Shen Guifei as they wished, but continued to drink tea, as if nothing had happened.
Madam Shu scolded the old fox in her heart, and then complimented Shen Guifei with a smile.
"Sister Guifei said that if His Majesty loves you so much, he will naturally not care whether it is a son or a daughter. There is only Princess Qingxi under your Majesty's knees, and there are no too many daughters."
This is to remind the queen that if Concubine Shen Gui gave birth to a daughter, Qingxi's love will be weakened.
Having a son has the disadvantages of having a son, and having a daughter has the disadvantages of having a daughter. She doesn't believe that the queen can remain indifferent. No matter what, Shen Yuqing's baby must not be allowed to be born by her.
But... Compared to losing early, one dead body and two lives are actually the best choice.
Madam Shu thought so, and decided not to do anything in the early stage.
Shen Yuqing has just found out that she is pregnant at this moment, so she must be careful everywhere, and it is not easy to succeed. After a while, her vigilance subsided, and that would be the best time.
Moreover, women can move a lot of hands and feet during childbirth, so they are not afraid of making mistakes. Even if Shen Yuqing was born successfully, so what? It is not difficult for her to give birth to a sick or stupid child.
What's more, there are also many ways to do things with babies.
In this harem, it is not so easy for a child to be brought up safely. If you don't pay attention, there are life-threatening knives everywhere.
Concubine Shen Gui didn't seem to notice the crisis, she was still showing off her belly with other women.
"This child is not restless at all." She retched twice suddenly, and then said pretending to be annoyed, "I have lost my appetite a lot recently, so I vomit whatever I eat."
The smile on Mrs. Shu's face froze.
Concubine Mi has never smiled, but now she is very calm, looking at Shen Yuqing coldly.
In the end, the concubine managed to control her expression, and said delicately: "Really? It turns out that pregnancy is such a tossing thing! Then, sister, concubine, don't you always have a strange smell? No wonder my cousin didn't Stay overnight in your palace!"
Even this little attack couldn't break Concubine Shen's defense, she ignored the last sentence, and only stabbed back slowly: "Cousin, you are still young, it's normal to not understand these things. Women are pregnant, and there are even more troubles! After waiting for a few months, my stomach is getting bigger, and I feel like carrying a few kilograms of things on my stomach at all times, which is very tiring."
Concubine Xiang gritted her teeth secretly, who is your cousin.
Concubine Xi dipped her lips in the tea with downcast eyes, then wiped it off with a handkerchief. Sneering secretly in her heart, Shen Yuqing still wants to wait until the month is old? It's a good idea, she doesn't want to raise this baby!
"It's getting late, let's go." The empress put down the tea and suddenly interrupted the verbal battle of the crowd.
After saying this, he got up and left the place.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, had to stand up and salute, watched her leave, and then dispersed one by one.
"Empress, this is..." Liu Zhaoyi quietly approached Concubine Xi, hesitating to speak.
Concubine Xi curled her lips and smiled: "What else can it be?"
Could it be that the empress felt that her heart had been poked, she was unhappy, and she didn't want to see some people dangling in front of her eyes again.
Concubine Xi looked at Concubine Shen who was sitting proudly in the car and leaving, and smiled meaningfully.
Concubine Shen Gui returned to Jianjia Palace, shunned the palace people, and lay alone in the bedroom, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She is the only one here, she doesn't have to pretend any more, she can do whatever she wants.
Mammy also knew not to push her too hard, so she let her go kindly. Shen Guifei changed into a set of comfortable clothes, quietly went out through the window to find his wife.
"Is it fun to pretend?" The empress laughed without raising her head when she heard the movement of the window.
Concubine Shen lay down beside her, lazily on the soft couch: "I want to beat Fu Yanjun..."
Fu Qiushui chuckled: "Didn't you already beat me up?"
"Not enough." Concubine Shen Gui sneered, "I think I'm at a big loss."
Fu Yanjun suffered only once, and she will suffer for seven months!
The Empress would not sympathize with Shen Yuqing, she would just... take the opportunity to laugh.
The imperial concubine complained for a long time and didn't wait to kiss her daughter-in-law to comfort her. When she turned her head and saw the other party smiling gloatingly, she laughed angrily.
"You still have the nerve to laugh? Just help your brother torment me." She got up and threw Fu Qiushui down, dissatisfied.
Empress Fu stretched out her hand to push her away: "Don't make trouble, when did I torment you for him? You two are really of the same temper. He always complains that I help you bully him, and you say that I torment you for him. You just say, How come I was beaten into a human by you inside and outside?"
With a few words, Concubine Shen blocked her back, and the concubine concubine reflected on whether she was being too unreasonable, and saw the empress smiling like a sneaky cat.
Shen Yuqing: "..."
Tsk, followed her way again.
Forget it, who made her happy to spoil each other.
The Empress smiled for a while and then became serious, pulled Shen Yuqing up and sat down, and talked to her about the business: "You go to see Qingxi later, she is a little upset."
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuqing was at a loss.
Fu Qiushui was a little helpless: "Yesterday she heard that you were pregnant, and she started to lose her temper. I reckon, it should be that the child is worried that you will have a baby, so she won't love her."
Originally Qingxi was the only child in the palace, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was loved by thousands of people. All the emperor's doting on the child was concentrated on her alone, and she certainly didn't want anyone to take away the doting.
Although Qingxi is not a very selfish child, she is very sensible, but maybe it is because she was neglected by her father and treated severely by Mrs. Wan in the past, which made her feel a little psychologically shadowed, so she attaches great importance to the love she has received from her father and mother , is also sensitive. She was afraid that others would take away what she finally had, so she was naturally very resistant to her unborn siblings.
Shen Yuqing understood, and began to think about how to enlighten her daughter.
Her "baby" has not yet been born, and Shen Yuqing is not sure if she will like this child. But Qingxi was the daughter she recognized, so of course she had a bias in her heart.
"I'll talk to Qingxi about it," she promised.
Empress Fu breathed a sigh of relief, she tried to persuade her for a long time yesterday, but Qingxi still buried her head in the quilt pitifully, refusing to listen. Fu Qiushui was worried that the child would get bored if he kept his thoughts in his heart, and he would have to tie the bell to untie it, so Shen Yuqing could only let Shen Yuqing try.
It really doesn't work... Sure enough, should I give my younger brother a bad idea
His Majesty the Emperor, who was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, suddenly shuddered.
Concubine Shen quietly slipped into her daughter's boudoir. Ever since the incident happened yesterday, little princess Qingxi has no intention of playing around. She locked herself in the room and refused to come out, even when her friends came to play with her.
As soon as Shen Yuqing entered the room, she saw her daughter curled up in the quilt, and she felt very distressed.
"Qingxi?" She walked over and patted Qingxi's back lightly, "Why haven't you gotten up yet? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Qingxi turned over and looked at Shen Yuqing with red eyes: "Mother Concubine."
As soon as he said two words, he sucked his nose, crying or not, looking very pitiful.
Concubine Shen Gui immediately hugged her into her arms, and kissed her pink face: "Don't cry, don't cry, Qingxi tell Concubine Mother, who bullied you?"
"No one..." Qingxi hugged Concubine Mu's neck tightly and buried her in her arms, "Qingxi just misses Concubine Mu."
Shen Yuqing picked her up, put clothes on her to prevent her from catching cold, and then wrapped her up with a quilt, then put her arms around her and began to enlighten her.
"Mother Concubine knows why Qingxi is unhappy." Shen Yuqing said softly, she dared to swear that she had never been so gentle in her life, "Are you worried that after having younger siblings, Mother Concubine and Father Emperor will not love Qingxi anymore? "
Qingxi snuggled into her arms, nodded obediently, and tightened her grip on Shen Yuqing's clothes nervously.
Shen Yuqing wiped away her tears: "Qingxi is such an idiot."
"Qingxi is not an idiot." Her Royal Highness retorted unconvinced.
"Obviously it is." The old god Shen Yuqing said on the ground, and successfully used this sentence to divert Qingxi's attention. Qingxi's mood calmed down a lot, and she finally got her mood together and stopped crying.
Shen Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and began to reason with her daughter: "Even if the mother concubine and the mother empress have a baby, she will not ignore Qingxi. Doesn't Qingxi trust the mother concubine and the mother empress?"
Qingxi shook her head embarrassingly: "Mother Concubine and Mother Empress will not lie to Qingxi."
"Then why is Qingxi still worried?"
Qingxi said softly: "Because Father will definitely not hurt Qingxi anymore!"
Speaking of this, the little girl's eyes turned red again.
What a crime, Your Majesty, what did you do to make your daughter have such an illusion
Shen Yuqing gritted her teeth, as expected, she still wanted to beat up this scumbag.
It's better to coax her daughter, Shen Guifei has repeatedly assured that her father will not ignore Qingxi just because of her younger siblings. It wasn't until the little girl finally showed a smile that Shen Yuqing was completely relieved, dressed her daughter herself, and watched her go to play with her little friends.
Then... ...
Concubine Shen twisted her fist, it's time to settle the score with the scumbag father.
The result of the incident was that His Majesty the Emperor went to Fengyi Palace in despair that evening, picked up his daughter, and went to Jianjia Palace to visit the pregnant concubine Shen Gui together.
Qingxi was very happy, she surrounded Shen Guifei the whole time and chattered non-stop. With her mother and concubine by her side, and her father also by her side, Qingxi was very satisfied.
It's a pity that the queen mother is not here.
The concubine mother is much gentler than before, and she even picks up vegetables for Qingxi herself. In the past, the concubine mother only cared about her own food!
Shen, the unqualified concubine and concubine, did a self-reflection, and became more considerate to her daughter.
The little girl is sensitive and thoughtful, so she needs to be cared for more. Now that there are more "brothers and sisters", it is even more important to pay attention to the physical and mental health of the children. Even if the bowl of water cannot be leveled, there should be no obvious preferential treatment, and a bridge of friendship and family ties should be built for the two children so that they can support each other and love each other.
The royal family is prone to brotherhood, if you don't pay attention to it, there will be no place to cry when siblings turn against each other in the future.
After thinking about it, Shen Yuqing still felt that only by making the two children so close that their interests could not be shaken would they be able to rest assured.
With the dedicated care of her parents, Qingxi really quickly changed her mind. She no longer felt that her unborn siblings were a threat, but regarded them as one of her only relatives.
"Qingxi wants to be a good older sister." The little princess said righteously, "Teach her to be filial to her mother and concubine!"
His Majesty the Emperor felt sour in his heart: "Then what about Father?"
Princess Qingxi's words were very reasonable: "Father will have many people who will be filial in the future, so Qingxi and her younger siblings will not be needed." Hmph, it's not her younger siblings that other bad girls gave birth to.
His Majesty the Emperor: "..." Daughter, it's really not good for you to understand so well, do you know that
After coaxing his daughter to sleep, the emperor touched his face and asked with a delicate expression, "Do I really have the face of a stallion?"
"It's a breeding pig." Shen Guifei corrected.
The emperor wanted to call someone to drag this disrespectful woman down.
"I didn't intend for another woman to bear my child." But he still had to defend himself.
To this, Shen Guifei's reaction was: "Haha."
The real capable women in the harem are not so easy for you to handle. Shen Yuqing felt that this guy was going to stumble sooner or later.
It would be an interesting scene if some unplanned woman gave birth to a child in the future.
But now the conceited emperor didn't feel that he would miscalculate, he confidently went to rest next door, and didn't take the cold water poured by Concubine Shen Gui into his heart.
The next day, being bullied by his daughter, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't swallow the bad breath, thinking that it was time to show his backhand.
This backhand is related to the matter of the concubine's entry into the palace.
At the end of March, the concubine plotted against the emperor, and planted it on other concubines. The emperor took the bottom of the pot and diverted the dirty water to another concubine.
The emperor promised to the concubine before that he would find out who harmed her, but it has been April and a half now, and he still has no confirmation. Concubine Xiang repeatedly reminded her overtly and secretly, but the emperor pretended not to understand, but this time she finally decided to "find out" the matter.
Miss Jinli, as a person who is professionally responsible for investigating the harem's private affairs, is generally very efficient. For example, in the previous incidents, it took her a day or two to find out the truth. This time, it took so many days, which is considered rare.
Miss Jinli took the things she found out to ask to see the empress, just when the concubines came to pay their respects.
Seeing the extremely favored court lady in front of the emperor, the concubines who had ghosts in their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
—To make a digression, the only other person in the palace who can receive this kind of treatment is Miss Manchen from Jianjia Palace, except for Jinli.
What did Miss Jinli find out
Everyone muttered in their hearts, and they were a little restless, like a bad student who was called over by the head teacher, and couldn't help but start to reflect on what bad things they had done during this period. As a result, after reflection, I found that there were quite a few, and I didn't know which one it was.
It really sucks.
Fortunately, Miss Jinli didn't like to talk nonsense. After saluting respectfully, she immediately explained clearly the purpose of her visit.
"A few days ago, the concubine was plotted against by someone, and the servants have already found out who is behind the scenes."
When everyone heard this, half a stone was put down in their hearts. It turned out to be this matter, so it has nothing to do with them.
However, they were relieved a little early.
In the next second, Miss Jinli said again: "The person behind the scenes has to ask Mi Concubine."
"Ask me?" Concubine Mi looked at Jinli in surprise, "What does it have to do with me?"
Everyone looked at her silently, who knows? Whether or not it matters, you know it in your heart!
Concubine Mi couldn't help frowning: "What are you looking at me for?"
Did these people think she did it? What a joke, she never played tricks behind her back, let alone she didn't have that condition.
I'm afraid that any low-ranking concubine in this palace may have more hidden chess pieces than her, right? After all, she is a princess of the Western Regions who entered the palace with her relatives. She has no connections in Dayan Palace, and she can't do anything she wants.
But other people don't think so, after all, Jinli rarely catches the real culprit wrongly in her investigations.
No wonder.
Concubine Shen looked up at the sky, pretending that she didn't know anything.
In fact, although Jinli can find out the real murderer, the real murderer she speaks out every time may not necessarily be the real mastermind behind the scenes. She left according to the emperor's will, so sometimes she had to pull out the ostensible murderer and let the real murderer go, and sometimes she would hide a certain concubine involved in the case, because it was not time to touch her.
But these things, the other concubines basically don't know. Apart from those who have been liquidated, the only ones who know are the sisters of the Yu family.
Unfortunately, Yu Zhaoyi was grounded, while Concubine Xi kept her mouth shut and would not speak out.
Concubine Mi looked at Jinli angrily: "Miss Jinli, please don't spout blood!"
Jinli bowed to her neither humble nor overbearing: "Why are you so excited? The maidservant only said that she wanted to ask you, but she didn't say that it was you who did it. You act like this, but it arouses suspicion."
"You!" Concubine Mi swallowed a mouthful of blood, and found that Dayan people were really unfriendly, everyone had such sharp teeth and sharp mouths.
Jin Li didn't tease her, she just clapped her hands, and asked people to press down on the mastermind she had caught.
"Does Concubine Mi recognize her?" Jin Li smiled.
Concubine Mi took a closer look and couldn't help frowning: "This is a maid in my palace."
Not only a court lady, but also a first-class court lady.
Concubine Mi brought only one dowry girl, that is Ayi who helped the evildoers. It's not that Concubine Mi doesn't have other dowry maids, but that the other maids are not acclimatized, so it would be nice not to be served in Dayan territory, let alone serve others.
So in the end, Concubine Mi had no choice but to bring Ayi into the palace alone, and let them follow her elder brother back to Loulan for the rest.
Therefore, the other people in Xianluo Palace were basically allocated to her later. Concubine Mi used Loulan's unique poison to control them, so she felt at ease and didn't have to worry about their resistance.
You must know that this poison-drug attacks once every half a month, and without an antidote, life would be worse than death. As long as Concubine Mi suspects that someone is unfaithful, she will deliberately not give him an antidote, so as to force them to be loyal to her.
However, Concubine Mi obviously doesn't understand what is unpredictable.
