The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Hearing Lu Zhaolin's voice, Jiang Shiying turned around and said in surprise: "Your Majesty is here."

Ah Yuan took two steps back and stood aside with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered.

Jiang Shiying stood up and walked towards him. At first, her pace was a little hurried, but then she thought of something and deliberately slowed down her pace.

"A Ying has met Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he did not salute, but hid in his arms.

Then, thinking of Lu Zhaolin's question just now, he said: "The Queen Mother sent Aunt Wan to take care of Aying. Aunt Wan is leading people to inspect the things in Dongnuan Pavilion."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin nodded: "Aunt Wan is thoughtful. Have you checked it in other places?"

Jiang Shiying said: "The interior of the dormitory has been inspected."

Lu Zhaolin pulled her towards the bed and asked, "Did you find anything that shouldn't be there?"

Jiang Shiying said: "I didn't find anything dirty. It's just that Aunt Wan said that it's best to stop using lead powder on the face and use less rouge. It's not good for the fetus. But Aying didn't like it in the past. It doesn’t hurt to use those things.”

After talking for a while, Jiang Shiying started to yawn, and the two of them went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Yao Xingde gently woke up Lu Zhaolin.

Lu Zhaolin stood up carefully, but Jiang Shiying was still alarmed.

First there was a shout, and then she asked: "Is it time yet?"

Lu Zhaolin touched her head and said, "If you sleep a little longer, I have to go to the morning court."

Jiang Shiying put her face close to his palm and rubbed it into his warm palm.

Then, she opened her eyes and said, "I still have to pay my respects to the Queen."

Lu Zhaolin frowned: "You are pregnant, so it doesn't matter if you take a leave of absence."

Jiang Shiying was still a little sleepy, but when she heard his words, she laughed. After laughing, she finally woke up.

Hear her say: "It will take nearly ten months to be pregnant with the child. There is no such reason for not going to greet the Queen for ten months in a row. If word spreads, Ah Ying will really become a monster that will cause harm to the country. Concubine."

Lu Zhaolin pinched her nose and said, "You are speaking openly again."

After letting go of his hand, he added: "Your body is more important. If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on, just ask for leave."

Jiang Shiying sat up and put her head on his shoulder: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what's right."

Another quarter of an hour later, Lu Zhaolin got on the chariot and headed in the forward direction.

When the chariot was halfway through, he listened to his instructions: "Yao Xingde."

Yao Xingde quickly responded: "My slave is here."

Lu Zhaolin said: "Have your people screen the people in the main hall of Jingyang Palace again."

Yao Xingde said "Promise".

After a while, Lu Zhaolin said again: "I remember, there are other concubines living in Jingyang Palace?"

Yao Xingde replied: "Zhang Baolin lives in the west wing of Jingyang Palace."

"Zhang Baolin?" Lu Zhaolin frowned, unable to remember who she was.

Yao Xingde said: "Zhang Baolin used to be a nobleman, but he was demoted to Baolin because of Zhenmei's fright."

Lu Zhaolin had a vague impression: "Zhen Meiren seems to have spoken for her? The two of them have a good relationship?"

Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty remembers well that Zhenmei once interceded for Zhang Baolin."

As for whether the relationship between the two of them is good or bad, it's hard to say.

Lu Zhaolin said: "In that case, let's move Zhang Baolin to Pingyizhai, the second courtyard of Yikun Palace, so that he can keep company with Zhenmei."

Yikun Palace entered the courtyard in two parts: front and back.

When you first enter the courtyard, there are the main hall and the east and west auxiliary halls. Now that the main hall is empty, everyone feels that they are waiting for Zhenmei to give birth to an heir and be promoted to the throne.

Zhenmei lived in the east side hall, and Bai Guiren lived in the west side hall.

The main hall at the second entrance to the courtyard is a cross hall with front and rear doors. There are east and west side halls in front of the main hall. Pingyizhai is the west side hall at the second entrance.

Just as Yao Xingde responded, Lu Zhaolin added another sentence: "Ask her to move here today."

As he spoke, he had already arrived outside Tai Chi Hall.

As Lu Zhaolin got off the imperial chariot, he ordered: "When Zhang Baolin's people move, let them move more gently so as not to disturb Concubine Chun."

Yao Xingde thought to himself, you want people to move quickly but also lightly.

But he was not the one who was in trouble. He just lowered his head and made a "promise" and said: "When I send people to deliver the order, I will warn them."

Lu Zhaolin nodded, said nothing more, and strode into the Tai Chi Hall.

At the same time, Jiang Shiying had also arrived at Fengyi Palace.

Her seat has been replaced with soft cushions.

As soon as we sat down, a little maid came to serve tea.

Jiang Shiying picked up the tea cup, opened the lid and looked at it. It was white fungus soup.

But she had no intention of entering the things in Fengyi Palace now, so she just looked at them and put them back.

Qin Xiurong, who was diagonally across from him, saw her action and said, "Why don't you use the teacup when your concubine is holding it? It's something from Fengyi Palace. Isn't it to your liking?"

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Xiurong. Before she could speak, she heard a cold female voice: "Isn't Qin Xiurong being too strict? What has Concubine Chun done that I still need to explain to you?"

Hearing the sound and looking over, it was Concubine Jade who was coming.

Qin Xiurong was stunned. He didn't see any contact between Concubine Yu and Concubine Chun in the past. Why would he speak for Concubine Chun today?

Jiang Shiying looked at Concubine Yu, with a faint smile on her lips: "Concubine Yu, are you okay?"

This is the first time she has appeared in greetings since Qi Shuren was relegated to the cold palace.

Concubine Yu nodded: "It's better now. Thank you very much Concubine Chun for your concern."

Jiang Shiying only said: "You're welcome."

After a while, everyone came and the queen also entered the palace.

After everyone sat down, the queen smiled and said: "Now there are three pregnant women in the harem, I am very pleased."

Then, she looked at Jiang Shiying and said: "I have already told Zhen Mei and Dong Cainu before, and the same is true here for Concubine Chun. Everything is focused on the children. If you feel unwell, just send someone to ask for leave. "

Jiang Shiying stood up and blessed her: "Thank you, Queen."

Then, without waiting for the queen to say anything, she sat down on her own.

The queen's expression remained unchanged, Qin Xiurong curled her lips.

After everyone dispersed in Fengyi Palace, Jiang Shiying took a carriage back to Jingyang Palace.

The small pavilion has returned with food.

It is said that appetite will inevitably change during pregnancy, but Jiang Shiying didn't feel anything about it, and she still ate very deliciously.

When she was about to finish her breakfast, she saw Yu Chengyi coming in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, someone from the imperial court has just come to announce the decree."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows.

Yu Chengyi continued: "This is a decree for Zhang Baolin of the West Wing Palace. Zhang Baolin is ordered to move to Pingyizhai of Yikun Palace today."

Jiang Shiying was a little surprised: "Moving today? Why so suddenly? Pingyizhai's place has not been repaired yet."

Yu Chengyi said: "I secretly speculate that His Majesty may not want Zhang Baolin to disturb the purity of your pregnancy."

Jiang Shiying smiled: "Your Majesty is considerate of me."

Then, she ordered Yu Chengyi: "Send someone to the West Wing Hall and ask Zhang Baolin if he needs help."

Yu Chengyi said "Promise" and then sent Xiao Pingzi to ask.

In the West Wing Hall, Zhang Baolin smiled gently: "Thank you, Madam, for caring about me. I have enough people here and I don't need help."

She said this, and Xiao Pingzi went back to resume his life.

Jiang Shiying didn't say anything after hearing Xiao Pingzi's message.

In the West Wing Hall, Zhang Baolin watched Xiao Pingzi go out and slapped his right hand hard on the table.

The table was intact, but her hand hurt badly. She jumped up in pain, then stood there hunched over, holding her right hand with her left hand and inhaling.

When the pain in her hand subsided, I heard her say angrily: "She was clearly the one who slandered His Majesty and asked me to move away from Jingyang Palace. Now, she is a good person in front of me again."

After saying that, he spat in the direction of the main hall.

Zhang Baolin originally thought that when His Majesty came to see Concubine Chun as she was pregnant, she would not be able to accept his favor and would not have the chance to ascend to the throne.

But I never thought that this sweet dream would be completely shattered as soon as I started to have it.
