Lin Lianlian was suddenly promoted to Concubine Li, who was very unhappy. Now Lin Lianlian had obviously threatened her position. She was just a newcomer to the palace, but she was already like this. If she became a concubine in the future, how could she tolerate this
"I didn't expect this bitch to have such a talent." Li Jieyu clenched the teacup in her hand and spoke fiercely. After all, she was unable to prevent this woman from competing for favor.
One is Lin Lianlian and the other is Li Xinyu. She didn't like them the first time she saw them. But she didn't expect them to take action so quickly. Her family was the one who was hated.
Shen Qingwan's father took the lead in donating money, and the father at home should have followed suit immediately. However, Lin Lianlian's father got there first and was promoted. If he donated money now, he would inevitably be criticized for vying for favor and following the trend.
"Don't be angry, my lady. Things are not irreversible yet." Seeing that Li Jieyu was unhappy, the maids around her quickly persuaded her. After all, they would be the ones who would suffer if the master was angry.
"Yes, I know. Go to Fengluan Palace." Concubine Li nodded. She knew that the situation was not irreversible. No one in the palace could compare to Shen Qingwan in terms of favor, but in terms of status, their Queen was the highest after all. Therefore, it would be better to go to Xiao Shushen if there was anything.
Thinking of this, Li Jieyu brought people to Xiao Shushen's bedroom.
Xiao Shushen has not been going out recently because she is pregnant. The weather in the first month of the lunar year is cold and the road is slippery. If she is not careful, it will not be as simple as she said.
Besides, it is true that the crown prince is her son now, but the more children there are in the harem, the better. Here, a mother has always been honored by her son.
Her attitude towards Li Jieyu's arrival was somewhat lukewarm.
"Empress, I'm sure you've heard about Concubine Lin..." Concubine Li had a bitter face when she arrived at the Queen's Palace. She had worked so hard to climb to the position of Concubine, but Lin Lianlian got there so easily.
"Well, I know, so what?" Xiao Shushen looked at Concubine Li and spoke indifferently. Why should she be so nervous about just a concubine
Now the only person she cares about is Shen Qingwan. She used to think that Fu Yuheng was finally tired of Shen Qingwan and no longer liked her. But now it seems that this is not the case. When she was watching the lanterns, she could see the tacit understanding between the two.
Even if Shen Qingwan was calm, it was impossible for her to not have any feelings for him. But when she punished Shen Qingwan to kneel in the snow, Fu Yuheng did not show any distress. Shen Qingwan should have been angry, but she remained calm.
At this time, Li Jieyu didn't know how to start, and looked at Xiao Shushen's hesitant expression.
Xiao Shushen frowned impatiently, "Just say whatever you want to say. If you really have something to hide, I will naturally help you."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin is truly scheming. She was promoted to a higher position in such a short time. The Emperor dotes on her so much now, and who knows what he will be like in the future." Concubine Li had a look of dejection and was about to cry. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke out, as if Lin Lianlian had persecuted her.
She and Li Xinyu are both newcomers to the palace, but Li Xinyu is easy to deal with because she has big breasts and no brains. However, Lin Lianlian looks harmless, but in fact she is extremely scheming. Given time, she will probably be more difficult to deal with.
"I know about this. The emperor has told me that Minister Lin donated money to the national treasury, so it is only natural for her to be promoted." She still admired Lin Lianlian for this. She was a smart person, but she was not tolerated in the harem.
Knowing Fu Yuheng's thoughts and prescribing the right remedy made him look at her differently, but it was probably not enough to really threaten her position.
"Then according to your Majesty's wishes..." Li Jieyu was a little confused about Xiao Shushen's attitude and spoke in a low voice, but was glared back at by a stern gaze the next second.
"I am tired, Concubine Li, please go back today." Xiao Shushen waved her hand to let Nanny Gui send them away. She didn't care about competing for favor with the lower-ranking concubines now. The only thing she cared about now was the child in her belly.
Li Jieyu was even more unhappy when she returned, especially when she heard that someone had given Lin Lianlian a gift. It was just a promotion, wasn't it the same as hers? What was there to be proud of
Lin Lianlian was very happy when she saw people coming in and out of the palace to congratulate her. She only paid a small amount of money but got so many things. It was really worth it.
"Congratulations, young lady. There are many good things today." The palace maids around Lin Lianlian felt arrogant because their master was favored. They didn't even look at those who brought gifts.
Listening to the maid's praise, Lin Lianlian also understood that she must be more favored in the future, and one day she would stand shoulder to shoulder with the four concubines. What made her even happier was that Fu Yuheng also came to her palace for several days in a row.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Every time she faced Fu Yuheng, Lin Lianlian acted like a beautiful girl from a small family. However, this Fu Yuheng didn't look as scary as my father said.
Since entering the palace, she has discovered many unusual things. Shen Qingwan does not seem to be as favored as the outside world has rumored, and her current status seems to be only because her father is General Shen. However, Xiao Shushen and Fu Yuheng are really in harmony.
"My beloved, please stand up." Fu Yuheng helped Lin Lianlian up and spoke softly. He would stay here overnight.
In the courtyard not far away, Li Jieyu got so angry that she broke a cup when she heard that he stayed overnight in Lin Lianlian's courtyard.
"How many days has the emperor been gone?" Xiao Shushen in Fengluan Palace was also a little unhappy. When she learned that it was already the fifth day, her face darkened.
He stroked his belly, his face showing some anger. He was being too much, could it be that he had really fallen in love with someone else? If he continued to dote on her like this, Lin Lianlian might soon have a dragon seed.
"Madam Gui, I have stayed in this palace long enough. It is time for me to go out and take a look." Lin Lianlian's matter made her a little worried, so she wanted to go out for a walk early the next morning.
The first month of the lunar year had just passed and the weather was very cold. Xiao Shushen was pregnant again so she was naturally very careful. But so-called relaxation was actually just a walk in the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow scenery.
"Your servant comes to see Her Majesty the Queen. You seem to be in a good mood to come out today." As she was looking at him, she heard a voice behind her. She turned around slowly, but when she saw it was Lin Lianlian, she didn't want to pay attention to it.
However, Lin Lianlian couldn't read her emotions and walked over quickly to talk to her. She walked so fast that she accidentally bumped into her.
"Ah..." Xiao Shushen was hit suddenly and screamed in fright. Fortunately, Nanny Gui who was following behind her was quick-witted and held her firmly.
