The imperial concubine who was hit hard angrily closed the door to thank the guests, and stopped a group of ghosts and snakes who were watching her about to give birth.
Concubine Shen Gui is more than eight months pregnant, this time is the most careful time. If it collides somewhere, it is definitely the result of premature birth.
Although Shen Yuqing is not really pregnant, if she is really bumped, should she pretend to have a premature delivery, or pretend that nothing is wrong? It always feels like it's very difficult.
So she simply didn't show up in front of the crowd, lest someone really rush up to do something.
Generally speaking, those who regard her as a thorn in the flesh are those concubines with relatively high status. These people would not come to fight her to the death, but most of their subordinates were undercover courtiers and even low-ranking concubines who were under their control. When the time comes when they jump over the wall in a hurry and let these people rush up to die with her, nothing will happen to her, but the fake pregnancy will easily be exposed.
Regarding the idea of the imperial concubine, the nuns agreed very much. The main gate of Jianjia Palace is tightly closed every day, leaving a corner gate for the convenience of the palace people to enter and exit, and it is also strictly guarded just in case.
During this period of time, the empress also seemed to avoid suspicion and did not come to visit Shen Guifei again, and the other concubines naturally followed suit. If they are unlucky and encounter Shen Yuqing with sudden fetal gas, they will not be able to tell clearly with eight mouths.
For a while, Jianjia Palace became a restricted area, heavily guarded, and water could not enter.
Because Biyan was imprisoned, Jianjia Palace lacked a second-class maid. There were people who planned to send someone in before, but they didn't succeed. Concubine Shen Gui directly picked someone up from the Shen family to take the position of the second-class maid.
Logically speaking, this matter is against the rules, unless it is the concubine's dowry maid, otherwise she cannot directly enter the palace to serve as the concubine's maid. Even if it is a dowry maid, she has to learn the rules before she can serve her closely.
However, Concubine Shen Guilong's favor was in full bloom, His Majesty the Emperor made an exception, so it was difficult for everyone to say anything.
Recently, His Majesty the Emperor has set a precedent for Concubine Shen several times, and now everyone's tolerance is very high. As long as it is not too much, they will turn a blind eye and close one eye, so as not to make His Majesty unhappy.
However, there are always people in the court who worry about the sky, worrying that the emperor will become a fool if this continues, so they play every day to keep the emperor away from the demon concubine.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor is not a real fool, so he can't just drag people down and chop him up. In addition, because of Concubine Mi's matter before, he did have some opinions on Shen Yuqing, so he simply followed their wishes and temporarily ignored Concubine Shen.
Anyway, Qiu Wei is about to start, and he doesn't have time to take care of the grievances in the harem right now.
But the imperial concubine didn't take it seriously, since the dog emperor didn't come to disturb her, it was too late for her to be happy. Living a leisurely life every day, slipping to Fengyi Palace to moleste his wife from time to time, couldn't be more comfortable.
The atmosphere in the harem suddenly became strange.
On the one hand, the concubines felt that the emperor might be annoyed by this big-bellied woman, on the other hand, they also felt that the emperor was only annoyed by the speech officials and tired of government affairs, so he didn't come. Concubine Shen is pregnant with a dragon heir anyway, and even the imperial physician said that it is likely to be a prince. This made everyone jealous, but they couldn't help but self-torturingly wonder how the emperor would favor Concubine Shen even more in the future.
After thinking about it, I still think it's better not to let Concubine Shen Gui give birth to this child.
But their various methods had no effect at all, the nuns beside Concubine Shen were very experienced, and any things that might have adverse effects on pregnant women were cleaned up. They couldn't intervene in the midwife's side, and they tossed and tossed for more than a month, to no avail.
In the Zichen Palace, after a busy day, His Majesty the Emperor returned to his bedroom, only to see Jin Li, the eldest maid of the palace, slacking off.
As His Majesty the Emperor, who has been very busy recently, he would obviously not be happy to see other people idle. As a result, Miss Jinli, who was teasing the fox, had a bad luck and was scolded by His Majesty the Emperor.
After criticizing, he looked at the white fox cub and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
Girl Jinli was so cute when the fox cub rubbed her head, she subconsciously replied: "This is a gift from the imperial concubine to the servants... to your majesty!"
Said slipped OTZ.
His Majesty the Emperor: "..."
It would be a ghost if she would give me something, unless it was something she disliked.
The fox cub who was indeed sent here because he was disgusted was still rubbing his head unconsciously, feeling a little hungry, so he yelled twice, acting like a baby to his beautiful sister, asking for food.
Miss Jinli received a knowing blow, and looked at His Majesty the Emperor eagerly.
"..." The emperor waved his hand irritably, telling her to get out and feed the fox, don't stand here and let the fox make noise.
As if being pardoned, Miss Jinli saluted the fox cub, turned around and ran away.
His Majesty the Emperor acquiesced in her raising foxes, she was very happy.
And His Majesty the Emperor, suddenly found it interesting to play with a fur ball after work, and it was a good way to relax.
During this period of time, Qiu Wei was in full swing, and he was extremely busy every day. With the imperial examination approaching, I was even more busy, and I finally found a way to relieve stress.
The emperor's mood has been eased here, while Concubine Shen Guifei has been pregnant for more than nine months, and it is not easy.
The so-called ten months of pregnancy is naturally impossible to be pregnant for ten months. Nine months later, it may be activated at any time. The pregnant concubine is surrounded by Wenpo and nuns all year round, ready to start delivering the baby.
Although Concubine Shen's side was just showing off, and logically there should be no pressure, but in reality it was not.
She has to cooperate with the situation of the princess outside the palace. Once the princess activates it, she must activate it as soon as she receives the news, so that she can give birth to a child with the princess at the same time, and then change the position.
It's not right, there is no pillar to change, and she doesn't have to give birth, she just needs to bring the child over and raise it by herself.
But before giving birth, she needs to deal with the legacy of history so as not to reveal her secrets. For example, there are still a few spies left in Jianjia Palace.
If the spies are resolved, the concubine can be brought into the Jianjia Palace openly, and the concubine can go to give birth, and she will stay with her in the delivery room. In this way, she doesn't have to pretend that the baby is born, and she doesn't have to worry about a series of problems such as the baby not crying when the baby is born. Even, the child's birthday horoscope will be the same as his real birthday horoscope, and there will be no delay.
If it is inside and outside the palace, there must be a delay in the middle, and the child's birth date will definitely not match.
The left and right spies were easy to deal with, Shen Guifei swept them out of the house with lightning speed, threw them to the clothing bureau, and then secretly took the princess into Jianjia Palace. Shen Yuqing has lightness skills, so it is easy to smuggle people in. The princess fell asleep, and when she woke up, she found that she had changed places. Although someone told her before going to bed, she was a little surprised when she actually met her.
As for those spies, it was doubtful, and Shen Yuqing deliberately found an excuse that seemed more credible. Said that "the mother found their movements strange and their faces were wretched", suspected that their intentions were not righteous, so they dealt with them with the attitude that they would rather kill by mistake than let them go.
The masters behind the spies didn't have any doubts, they didn't expect these spies to hide from the nuns. Since Concubine Shen is only dealing with it now, it means that it took a long time for the nanny to confirm that there is something wrong with them, and it is normal for them to be exposed.
The empress dowager who learned of this matter attached great importance to it, and personally sent some people around her to serve Concubine Shen, so as to prevent any more spies from infiltrating the Jianjia Palace.
These people are not the emperor's people, but the palace servants cultivated by the empress dowager. There is no need to doubt their loyalty, and they also know many secrets. Concubine Shen gave the Queen Mother a face by not controlling them with Gu worms, letting them directly fill in the previous vacancy.
Now, Jianjia Palace is completely like an iron bucket like Fengyi Palace, Zichen Palace and Shoukang Palace. For this reason, how many concubines tore the veils and dropped the plates behind their backs, it's really hard to say.
Concubine Shen Gui is accompanying the concubine right now.
The concubine was half lying on the soft couch, and Concubine Shen was sitting next to her eating warm crispy cheese. Around them were a few idle girls who told her interesting things to pass the time. Among them was a palace maid who was born with a face. She was very pleasant, with a round face, and when she smiled, people felt in a good mood.
This is Bi Ling, the new second-class court lady, and Ling Lan, the personal servant girl next to Miss Shen.
Originally, when Miss Shen entered the palace, there were two dowry maids by her side. One is lily of the valley and the other is rose.
After Miss Shen was released from the palace by Shen Yuqing, she asked the two servant girls whether they planned to follow the original Miss Shen or stay in the palace. The two of them were unfamiliar with Shen Yuqing, so they were naturally hesitant.
On one side is their own lady, and they are very worried about letting the lady leave alone. On one side is Miss's great benefactor, and they would also feel sorry if they left the benefactor alone in the palace to deal with the emperor for Miss.
Later, Linglan gritted her teeth and decided to stay by herself, and asked Qiangwei to follow the lady.
"Qiangwei, didn't you agree to be with Jing Zheng who is next to Mr. Shang? You go, don't let Jing Zheng wait for you for too long."
Jing is the personal servant of Miss Shen's sweetheart, this pair is good enough, not to mention the master is right, the servant and the maid are also right. However, the two masters were very pleased with this and were not angry.
Qiangwei was persuaded, and finally left with Miss Shen. After Miss Shen married Mr. Shang, she also married Jing Zheng. Although they got married, she and Jing Zheng still stayed with the young lady and young master to serve them, and did not leave to work outside as stewards and stewardesses.
At that time, Ling Lan was the maid of honor next to Concubine Shen, working with Man Xing. But not long after, Shen Yuqing's side was exposed to Mrs. Shen, and Linglan had no choice but to tell Mrs. Shen the truth.
In order to prevent Mrs. Shen from being overwhelmed and expose the matter, Ling Lan went out of the palace and returned to Shen's house to stay by Mrs. Shen's side. It is said to be serving, but it is actually monitoring in a different direction.
There is no way to do this, if Ling Lan doesn't go there, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely send secret guards there. At that time, the emperor didn't have any extra female guards, so he could only send two male guards there.
Although this kind of thing is understandable, but it is too much to send two men to stare at the wife every day. If it was exposed, would Mrs. Shen Qingyu still want it
Mrs. Shen really couldn't accept her daughter's elopement at the beginning, after all, she was a family of civil servants who paid great attention to reputation. But the more times Linglan persuaded her by her side, she gradually got used to it and accepted it.
Lily of the valley retired, she could go back to the palace directly. But at that time, His Majesty the Emperor had already made up for the poor maids around Concubine Shen, and the position of another first-class maid was taken by Manchen, who was originally the first-class maid by the emperor's side, and the second-class maid had no place, so she had to give up. Now that Bi Yan's position is vacant, she can just come back, but she changed her name to Bi Ling.
There are a few concubines in the palace who still have some impressions of her, but after changing their names, they are not sure if they are alone. But if Lily of the Valley really came back, then it really wasn't too much.
Ling Lan had been a first-class maid in the palace, but she was wronged when she came back to be a second-class court lady, and she did not exceed the rules. At the beginning, Ling Lan used the excuse of "serving Mrs. Shen who is not in good health on behalf of her own mother", and returned to the Shen family, she went there as a filial piety for Concubine Shen. The teacher is famous, and he has meritorious service.
Now that she came back, Ling Lan directly became the head of the second-class maids, and received the monthly salary of the first-class maids, and her treatment was no different from that of the first-class maids.
Before Ling Lan returned to the palace, Concubine Shen Gui also asked her that if she didn't want to, she could be let out of the palace to marry. However, Linglan was very grateful to Concubine Shen, declined her kindness, and was willing to serve the concubine forever.
Since she followed Mrs. Shen, she often went to visit Miss Shen with her. Seeing that the young lady is living a very happy life, her gratitude to the imperial concubine grows day by day. She doesn't care about being a second-class court lady when she comes back, she just wants to do her best for the imperial concubine.
Concubine Shen was embarrassed for a moment, but in the end she left this obstinate silly girl behind.
At this moment, Miss Ling Lan, who had changed her name to Bi Ling, was telling the imperial concubine an anecdote outside the palace.
"Princess Xiushan of Princess Wenle's family has proposed a marriage. The man is the young son of the Qin family, the eldest master's wife." Bi Ling laughed with two small dimples, "The two are about the same age. I heard that Princess Wenle and Anping Mrs. Bo is very satisfied."
Concubine Shen felt that these names sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, she remembered what happened during the Lantern Festival this year.
She and Fu Qiushui went out secretly to watch the lanterns, and then met Princess Xiushan, and frightened him, letting the girl know the horror of human traffickers. Her grandmother is Qixue's eldest sister, Princess Wenle, the eldest daughter of the first emperor who is older than the empress dowager, and her father is Princess Wenle's son, Uncle Anping.
During the Lantern Festival, Princess Xiushan ran out angrily because her fiancé was visiting a brothel, and wanted to see what was so good about that Qingyage woman, and how she was different from ordinary brothel women. Naturally, her fiancé was knocked out by her brother and broke off the engagement, which made this matter a joke in the capital.
At that time, some people thought that it was right to withdraw from the engagement, while others thought that Uncle Anping's family was making a fuss out of a molehill. However, because several bigwigs in the palace favored Princess Xiushan, a relative of the emperor, the family of the original fiancé became a laughing stock, and those who supported them did not dare to beep anymore.
Concubine Shen thought that it would be difficult for Princess Xiushan to discuss marriage in the future, but she didn't expect to see the son of the Qin family right.
The current head of the Qin family is the Minister of the Household Department, who has a daughter and a son. The daughter, Qin, married Miss Shen's eldest brother, and gave birth to Shen Liyi, the eldest grandson of the Shen family. The son is only fourteen years old, he is a handsome young man, and he is also a sweet bun in the capital.
If it hadn't been for the young master Qin who didn't know anything about relationships, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Xiushan's turn to pick it up.
Concubine Shen Gui told the empress about this when she went to climb the bed at the empress's place.
Empress Fu was not happy at the time: "What a good girl Xiushan, our royal princess is better than those who claim to be the first family daughters in the capital, why did you miss it?"
What else can the imperial concubine say? She could only follow her wishes and praise their royal little princess.
Although she and the emperor are not real royal people, the emperor has long classified the queen mother and those who have a good relationship with the queen mother among his own people. And the empress who protects the shortcoming is naturally the same as His Majesty the Emperor.
In short, the children of Princess Wenle's family are very good. Even the mediocre An Pingbo is a very good junior—well, a junior who is older than them.
Mentioning this, Concubine Shen suddenly remembered: "Eh? That's the next generation."
Princess Wenle is twice as old as Qixue and Concubine Shen, and Princess Xiushan is two generations younger than Concubine Shen. But Young Master Qin and her sister Qin Shi, brother-in-law Shen Dashao and Concubine Shen are of the same generation. In other words, Princess Xiushan is two generations younger than her fiancé.
"What's the matter?" The empress didn't care, "The royal family's seniority has always been chaotic."
Shen Guifei thinks about it too, anyway, it's not her who will struggle with how to address others.
But Mr. Qin is indeed a good match, the Shen family is very good at picking in-laws, and the in-laws selected are basically good people. For example, General Xiao, the Qin family and so on. The only accident was Miss Shen's entry into the palace. It wasn't that the emperor insisted on bringing the daughter of the Shen family into the palace to guarantee the loyalty of the Shen family, but it was purely an accident.
Ms. Shen was used to being domineering and domineering. Some people disliked her and deliberately punished her by pushing her into the water. Then he lured a group of sons over to try to destroy her innocence.
If you are rescued by a young master, you can be regarded as having skin relatives, then it would be fine to marry the other party. If a group of sons saw her disheveled appearance after falling into the water, then she would be finished.
Coincidentally, His Majesty the Emperor was visiting in private at that time, and came to see what the banquet of young unmarried princes and ladies looked like on a whim. Then, seeing the unlucky Miss Shen, she asked the girl Jinli who followed her to save Miss Shen.
As soon as Miss Jinli wrapped her in a clean cloak, a group of young masters and ladies came over.
The person who framed Ms. Shen saw that things didn't work out, but he didn't give up. She looked at the emperor very strangely, and thought that he was a shabby hukou who came in through other people's invitations, the kind who came to seek connections, so she just kept doing nothing and let Miss Shen marry this person.
So she manipulated everyone's emotions and insisted that Fu Yanjun saw Miss Shen's body. After all, even if Ms. Shen was rescued by Miss Jinli, when she just came out of the water, she was still wet for others to see
However, when the emperor came out this time, he brought Jinli and Manchen with him on the surface, and the rest were hidden guards hiding in the dark. In other words, before the crowd came, there were only three women and one man here. The only one who ruined Miss Shen's reputation was the emperor.
Even if the emperor said that he turned his back and didn't look at it, everyone didn't believe it. In the final analysis, Qingyu's incident does not mean that Qingyu will not be affected if it does not happen. As long as everyone believes that it happened, then Qingyu will naturally be damaged.
In consideration of Shen Zuoxiang's face, His Majesty the Emperor held his nose and agreed to marry Miss Shen back home. You can't let Mr. Zuoxiang's family's reputation be ruined, right? Regardless of whether it is the main branch or the side branch of their family, there are other girls who want to marry.
Miss Shen is not happy, she has a sweetheart, and the sweetheart will not dislike her for such a thing. But for the sake of the Shen family's reputation, she couldn't yell not to marry, so she could only stare at the woman who hurt her.
Just when she was trying to figure out a way, the host of the banquet found out that there was something wrong here, so he came over. When he saw His Majesty the Emperor at a glance, he was so frightened that he almost flew out of his wits, so he knelt down and began to salute.
Only then did everyone know that this was the current emperor.
Miss Shen was also stunned by this sudden change, until the Emperor Jinkou Yuyan promised to let her be a noble concubine, and after the promise was made, she was sent back to the Shen family, she did not recover.
Soon, rumors spread throughout the capital that the coquettish eldest lady of the Shen family, who thought she would never get married, was going to enter the palace and become a noble concubine. The Shen family was not shocked by favor or humiliation, the perpetrator regretted it unceasingly, and Miss Shen herself was still in a daze.
After that, various attempts to escape from marriage were unsuccessful, and she was forced to be sent to the palace. Then when she was about to accept her fate, she met Shen Yuqing who fell from the sky, just like meeting a fairy who rescued the suffering.
Concubine Shen Gui had never inquired about these past events, she really thought that the emperor married Miss Shen just to win over the Shen family. Today, after hearing what the empress said, I realized that I misunderstood the emperor.
"It turns out he's not too scumbag..." Concubine Shen touched her chin.
He was forced to marry an unlucky girl, but he was implicated innocently. But you can't go around complaining that you have been calculated by others, but you have to comfort the poor girl and give her a decent concubine position so that she doesn't feel wronged. His Majesty the Emperor has worked hard.
You know, Miss Shen's family background, marrying anyone is the rhythm of being a legal wife. If it wasn't for the emperor having a queen, she would be able to directly point to the position of queen when she entered the palace. It is really aggrieved to enter the palace as a concubine.
"Let's not talk about them." The empress touched her belly, it was really big and scary, "Is the princess still alive?"
Concubine Shen thought about it for a while: "The imperial doctor said it will be soon, within a few days."
The child is about to be born, and the princess is about to run out of fuel.
The author has something to say: I will give birth tomorrow!
