The news that Concubine Su was happy made all the palaces uneasy.
The back seat is still vacant. Which of these women in the palace doesn't want to squeeze into that position
There is only one imperial concubine in the palace now. The imperial concubine was feared by the emperor because of her family's power, and she still has no heirs. If Concubine Su is pregnant with a prince, then the harem may be in trouble...
Concubine Rong gritted her teeth and twisted her handkerchief after hearing the news. She was already overpowered by Concubine Su, so how could she be willing to let Concubine Su give birth to the prince before her
Unlike each palace, which had its own thoughts, there was no reaction from the Yikun Palace.
Now that there is no queen, the imperial concubine is equivalent to the lord of the sixth palace. The first thing she came to visit was Su Guifei.
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived!"
Concubine Su quickly got up from the bed and bowed to the imperial concubine in a polite manner.
The imperial concubine waited for her to finish her ceremony before pretending to give her a hand, "Sister, please get up quickly. Now that you are pregnant, you still care about these false gifts."
Lin Zhiyu looked at the imperial concubine's hypocrisy coldly, and her message came to mind.
The imperial concubine Liu, named Qianyun, entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and is now in her sixth year.
Liu Qianyun is a truly noble daughter of a noble family. Her father is the chief minister of the cabinet and her mother is the daughter of a censor. They all thought that the position of queen was firmly reserved for her, but they did not expect Liu Qianyun to sit in the position of imperial concubine for four years. .
Lin Zhiyu carefully observed the woman who was communicating with Concubine Su. Her eyebrows were like willow branches and her lips were dyed with red light. Wearing a red floor-length skirt and a white fur-trimmed cloak, a few golden butterflies at the cuffs followed the movements of the slender catkins.
Elegant and calm.
After all, after sitting in this position for so many years, Liu Qianyun has the air of a queen.
It is estimated that even she herself believed that the position of queen was hers, so she became jealous when the original owner continued to favor her.
Coming to visit Concubine Su was just a few words, like the royal wife coming to visit her pregnant concubine.
"My sister has been working hard during this period. Apart from other things, if you need anything, my sister can send someone to talk to me. If there is a bitch who doesn't obey my command, you can just talk to me. I am my sister. , this little bit of help can still help.”
Liu Qianyun held Concubine Su's hand, her expression of concern did not seem to be fake, but her words clearly indicated that she was in charge of the harem.
Concubine Su's face was not very good, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Thank you very much, sister."
After Liu Qianyun left, concubines came to visit her one after another. In the end, Concubine Su was tired, so she arranged for a maid to receive her.
A pile of gifts filled the outer room, including gold and silver hairpins, emerald agate, and some precious cloths.
The maid received the gifts, invited the masters of each palace to drink tea, and then counted the gifts and put them away.
"Master, it seems that Concubine Rong is not here this time. Concubine Rong is too arrogant. Even the imperial concubine came to visit you, but she dare not come." The maid was indignant.
"It doesn't matter, she and I have never dealt with each other. It would be better if she didn't come. If she comes, won't I have to focus on guarding against her? You can step back and I'll take a rest."
"No." When the maid left, she saw Lin Zhiyu on the soft couch. She paused and hesitated whether to take her out.
Concubine Su smiled and said, "It's warm in this winter in my room. Let her go. If she wants to go back to the palace later, remember to send someone to send her back."
Concubine Su, also known as Qingyu, was Taifu Su's eldest daughter. She had always been gentle in temperament. Taifu Su originally wanted the second daughter to enter the palace, but the second daughter had already agreed to marry her as soon as she had hair extensions.
The three daughters are young, and only the eldest daughter Su Qingyu can enter the palace.
Concubine Su stroked her belly carefully, recalling some past events with a gentle look on her face.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Zhiyu wouldn't have believed that there was such a peaceful person in the harem.
Just like her small characters, they are elegant and tranquil, like a piece of jade.
Then, she will be the jade carver.
System: Host ball is over, stop causing trouble and do your job well, isn’t it nice
Lin Zhiyu: Have I completed my tasks in the first two worlds
System: Done.
Lin Zhiyu: Then it’s over
System: The world has been half destroyed by your play, wuwuwu...
The heavy snow is still falling outside, and it's as warm as spring inside. There was smoke from the incense on the table, and Lin Zhiyu was half asleep when she heard someone opening the curtain and approaching the inner room.
Concubine Su opened her eyes, and the maid whispered in her ear.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Madam is very happy to know that you are pregnant. The Emperor has granted Madam permission to come to the palace to visit you. It should be here soon."
"Mother is here?" Concubine Su was delighted, "Hurry up and dress me up."
The Taifu's wife was sitting outside waiting when she heard the door curtain being opened.
Concubine Su came out wearing a flower crown, a light-colored skirt and a mink fur.
"My wife has met the noble concubine."
Concubine Su quickly stopped the person who was about to salute, "Mother, there are no outsiders here, so we can just avoid these red tapes."
The Taifu's wife shook her head, but still insisted on completing the ceremony meticulously.
"It has been authorized by the emperor that my wife can enter the palace to visit my empress. How can I be exempted from these etiquettes?"
Concubine Su called the servants away, then took the hand of Mrs. Taifu and entered the inner room.
"Mom, how are you doing at home recently?"
The Taifu's wife sat opposite her on the Kang and nodded, "Everything is fine at home, you don't need to worry about it, but you, after so many years in the palace, finally feel something in your stomach."
The emperor's children are now all princesses. If this child is born as a prince, and with the help of the family, the queen will definitely be unable to escape.
Concubine Su frowned and said nothing.
It’s not that no concubines have become pregnant over the years, but some fetuses have slipped away without their gender even being diagnosed.
It's not that she couldn't understand the meaning of her mother's words, but that seat was not what she wanted. All she wanted was for the little life in her belly to be born safely.
"Mother, don't you understand my temper?"
Mrs. Taifu sighed.
"It's not that I don't know, I'm just afraid that you will be wronged, Qingyu! Neither your father nor I can do anything to help you with whatever oppression you suffer in this palace. Only by sitting in that seat can you protect yourself. "
"Mother… "
Lin Zhiyu listened to the conversation between mother and daughter and yawned humanely.
Only then did the Taifu's wife notice the snow-white fox on the couch, and she was shocked. "Qingyu, why are you raising these beasts when you are pregnant? Throw them out quickly, so as not to affect the child in your belly."
Lin Zhiyu waggled her tail lazily, still sleeping on her own.
Concubine Su looked at her boneless look with a faint smile in her eyes.
"This is the snow fox that was paid tribute by the envoys from neighboring countries a few days ago. The emperor treated it like a treasure. I don't know why she likes to come to me so much."
She walked over and hugged Lin Zhiyu. The soft fur was as smooth as warm water. Mrs. Taifu's heart was in her throat.
"Look, mother, she is well-behaved."
The little fox in Concubine Su's arms was extremely docile and nuzzled Concubine Su's hand with its head.
Concubine Su picked up a piece of dried meat on the plate and brought it to her mouth, and Lin Zhiyu ate it in one gulp without hesitation.
System: Host, please don’t think of yourself as a fox!
Lin Zhiyu: What do you know? This is called brushing up on favorability. Please help me find out how much favorability Concubine Su has for me now
System: [Ding! The query results are as follows]
Concubine Su: 65%
Rong Bin: -5%
Emperor: 10%
…
The favorability of some other concubines, maids and eunuchs in the palace were also listed.
Lin Zhiyu: ...Who can tell her why Rong Bin’s favorability score is negative!
Seeing her daughter doting on the little fox so much, Mrs. Taifu couldn't say anything more. She only told her to take care of herself.
Concubine Su personally sent her to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, suppressing the reluctance in her heart, "Mom, please remember to tell your father and sister that everything is fine with me here and there is no need to worry about me."
"Okay, good child." Mrs. Taifu's voice was slightly choked, "Look at me, an old woman. It's a great blessing to meet you, but I'm actually crying. Mother won't embarrass you here. Ah, mother is leaving right away."
Although he said he was leaving, he was still reluctant to let go in his heart, and he still held Concubine Su's hand without letting go.
Concubine Su forced a smile and said, "If mother doesn't leave, there will be no place for her to stay here."
After seeing off the Taifu's wife, the tears in Concubine Su's eyes slid down her cheeks.
Why didn't she understand what her mother said? All the glory in this deep palace is given by the emperor.
A sentence suddenly came to her mind.
"This time of separation, I don't know when we will get together next time. I hope you will cherish it in the future, and I will too."
I checked specifically and found that pregnant women should try to avoid pets as much as possible in the first three months, and pets must be dewormed both internally and externally. Please do not imitate dangerous behaviors~
