Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Liu Bin glanced at her. Sometimes she felt that Xu Yueru was quite ridiculous, and she would treat people like fools, and pretend that no one could understand the meaning of such obvious provocative words.

In the past, Liu Bi would have just listened. She was used to looking down on this kind of people, but today she didn’t know where her muscles were. She looked at him with a sneer and said, "Xu Guiren, you are just a little person." You noble lady, how can the Queen allow you to say this? This is the case in the palace, and the bad habits will not change after entering the palace!"

Concubine Liu didn't say anything, so naturally the palace servants waiting outside the palace listened to her words, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes here.

Xu Guiren did not expect Liu Bin to treat her like this, and was a little stunned for a moment. However, she reacted very quickly and immediately retorted: "Liu Bin, although you have a higher status than me, you can't talk nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense? Who just said, 'I have just become a queen, and I am so arrogant. I don't think anyone knows what Su Yaoniang used to be'!" Liu Bin sneered.

As soon as these words were said, the people in Kunning Palace suddenly showed angry expressions.

Hong Fei heard the commotion outside and walked out of the side hall, with a smile on his face but his eyes staring: "I'm afraid Xu Guiren has forgotten where this place is."

And these words have already been reported inside. Yao Niang, who was having a meal, turned ugly after hearing this, and the red silk jade cicadas also had angry expressions on their faces.

Yao Niang took a deep breath and said, "How should this kind of behavior be handled according to palace regulations?"

Yu Chan and others have been familiar with the palace rules recently. As the queen's steward aunt and palace maid, it is not easy for them to not understand the palace rules. So Yuchan answered quickly.

"This crime can be big or small. It can range from being slapped in the face to being sent to the Criminal Punishment Department and beaten to death."

"Then just deal with it. Let them go. I don't want to see them today."

"yes."

Soon, Xu Guiren's cries were heard outside. The palms in the palace were different from other places, and there were several types.

Normally, the punishment is done with hands, and there are also cases where the torturer holds a piece of bamboo in his hand. If someone doesn't like it, just move some hands and feet on the bamboo slices, and it will be enough for the other person to eat it and walk away. It may take a few months to raise it before you can see anyone, or it may end up being disfigured.

However, no one gave orders here in Kunning Palace, so he was naturally beaten with his hands, but he was determined to teach him a lesson and worked hard. After being slapped for more than ten times, Xu Guiren's cheeks were red and swollen. Standing in front of her was a girl in her thirties, saying: "Xu Guiren doesn't know the rules, so the queen ordered her slaves to teach her. I hope Xu Guiren will be careful in her words and deeds in the future." "There are other reasons to be respectful. This palace is different from outside. If you don't keep your mouth shut, you may lose your life."

Xu Guiren knelt there and said solemnly: "I remember."

"Look, the noble is wrong again. The concubine should have remembered it. The noble has no status enough, so he can only call himself a concubine."

"Auntie taught me a lesson, and I will remember it."

Aunt Qin nodded and said: "My queen is feeling a little unwell today, so I won't see you two ladies. Juan'er, come and see these two ladies out."

"Yes, aunt."

It wasn't until he left the gate of Kunning Palace that Xu Guizhen glared at Liu Bin bitterly, covered his face and hurried away with his personal maid.

"Empress, look at her like this, don't be afraid that she will hold a grudge against you." Celadon said worriedly.

Liu Bin looked at Xu Guiren's back and sneered: "Hold a grudge? I hope she hates me. The more she hates me, the better."

Because of what happened, Yao Niang only took a few bites of her breakfast and then put down her chopsticks.

"Slave, please tell me that your empress shouldn't be punished so lightly. She should be taught a lesson!"

"If the empress is still angry, I will ask someone to teach her a lesson."

After hearing this, Yao Niang was stunned and said hurriedly: "No need, I'm not angry with her, I'm just wondering why Liu Bin wants to confront Xu Yanru. This has never been her character." Although Yao Niang is amiable, I haven't seen Liu Bin very often, but from those few times I can tell that she is not a person who likes right and wrong, and is rather aloof and cold.

"Perhaps she is aware of current affairs and knows that she will not have a good life if she goes against the queen in the palace, so she abandons the dark side and turns to the bright side." Hong Fei's statement made everyone laugh, and Yao Niang said angrily: "Okay, okay, let you talk me out of it." So fierce."

Since she couldn't figure it out, Yao Niang simply put it behind her and didn't think about it. But the whole morning she felt helpless and helpless. It just so happened that today was the day when Dr. Liu Liang asked for Ping An's pulse. As soon as Dr. Liu entered the palace, Hong Fei told him about the matter.

Yao Niang was leaning on the kang, and Dr. Liu Liang sat on the pillar to check her pulse.

After a while, Dr. Liu Liang said: "Congratulations, your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

Chapter 209

Hearing this, Yao Niang couldn't react for a while, and looked at Dr. Liu Liang in surprise.

The other party stroked his beard and smiled: "It's only been more than a month, and the pulse is not obvious yet, but it should be correct."

Only then did Yao Niang remember that her period had not come for a while, but she had been busy with the concubine ceremony a while ago and had neglected it. Hongsi had mentioned it to her before, but she turned around and forgot about it.

"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress."

Hong Silk and others came forward to congratulate her. Yao Niang was so dizzy that she could only smile.

Just laugh, of course you should be rewarded. Everyone in Kunning Palace was rewarded with one month's salary, and those who served closely like Yu Chan and Hong Silk were rewarded with three months. Kunning Palace also sent people to announce the good news to Emperor Jin'an, and there will surely be a wave of rewards later.

This good news spread throughout the palace in a short time, and everyone in the entire Forbidden City knew that the Empress was pregnant. Everyone who knew about it envied the Empress's good fortune, not because it was such a blessing to be pregnant, but because of the good timing.

Look, she got pregnant not long after being crowned as the Empress.

If it wasn't good fortune, then what was it!

Especially recently, the court was not peaceful, and seeing that the Empress's position was no longer wanted, some ministers suggested that Emperor Jin'an should expand the harem.

It stands to reason that it is unreasonable for a monarch of a country to have only two or three little girls in the harem. Only with more concubines in the harem can the descendants be passed on and the country be kept peaceful for thousands of years.

Once he became an emperor, everything could be related to the country.

Emperor Jin'an was discussing this matter with several old ministers in the Yangxin Palace. Several ministers were talking excitedly, but he remained silent. The good news sent from Kunning Palace at this time was exactly what Emperor Jin'an said just now, that I already have two princes, and the queen is young and blessed, so there is no need to expand the harem for the time being.

Emperor Jin'an was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately abandoned all the ministers, and all the ministers could only rub their noses and leave the palace.

The happy event was not over yet. The next day, Emperor Jin'an issued an imperial decree to make the eldest son Zhao Chen the crown prince.

This matter naturally caused a storm in the court. The eldest son was not yet five years old, and young children were prone to premature death. When the former crown prince was made, he was also over five years old.

However, the eldest son was both the legitimate and the eldest, and the ministers could not come up with too many excuses to oppose it. They could only dissuade the eldest son from being too young. However, this matter came to an abrupt end before it caused any storm.

The emperor of Qianqing Palace issued the first imperial decree since he abdicated, making the eldest son Zhao Chen the crown prince, and the court was immediately calm.

The weight of the two imperial edicts added together is not doubled, but multiplied. With the imperial edict of the retired emperor, as long as the eldest prince does not commit unforgivable crimes such as treason, he can almost sit on the throne of the crown prince without worry, and he will be the king of a country in the future.

Even if Emperor Jin An wants to abolish the crown prince one day, he must first bypass the imperial edict of the retired emperor. But by then, the retired emperor may have passed away. If the living emperor wants to overturn the will of the deceased emperor, who is still his biological father, it is almost equivalent to risking the world's disapproval.

Kunning Palace has once again become a place of attention. Everyone in the world praises that if anyone can share a little bit of the blessing of the queen, he will not have to worry about his life.

Why?

A woman is only in her twenties, and she is already the future queen mother. This kind of blessing is really enviable for all women in the world.

For a time, the Su family of Cheng'en Marquis Mansion became a hot figure in Beijing. Even the Yao family, a small family that was unknown to the public, became the guests of honor of all the families and mansions in Beijing.

There was no other reason, because the imperial palace rarely showed up in front of people, and if you wanted to get through to the imperial palace, you always needed a medium.

These three imperial edicts came down in a row, forcing many people to change their minds. If it was just Empress Su, it would be fine, but with the addition of a prince whose position was as solid as a rock. The son is honored by the mother, and the mother is honored by the son. These have always been complementary. The prince's position is as solid as a rock, and Empress Su's position is naturally unbreakable.

In this case, instead of thinking about pulling the queen down and replacing her own people, it is better to be a vassal, which is also a smooth road.

As for Kunning Palace, Yao Niang is now concentrating on keeping the baby wholeheartedly, and she knows nothing about the wind and rain outside.

She sent off Qiao who came to the palace to congratulate her on the first day, and Xiao Jirou also came the next day.

The two sat together and talked a lot. Unlike the Qiao family, Xiao Jirou rarely shows up in public, and she would not come to the palace unless she could. The last time she entered the palace was when Yao Niang was crowned as the queen and all the ladies came to the palace to congratulate her.

"You said you moved back to the Xiao family?" Xiao Jirou did not deliberately say it, but Yao Niang still heard it from her words and asked in surprise.

Xiao Jirou smiled bitterly. In fact, she did not want to hide it from Yao Niang. This matter could not be hidden in the first place. If she had not hesitated about this matter, she would not have been entangled until today to enter the palace.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Yao Niang asked again: "Why? Are you still angry with the seventh brother?"

"I am not angry with him. It has been a long time, and I have forgotten it a long time ago."

"Then why?"

Why? She couldn't say it.
