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

At this time, everyone in the palace was staring at Princess Huiming. The look in her eyes made Princess Huiming extremely frightened. She wondered in her mind whether those three needles had penetrated into her head?

Thinking like this, she grabbed the eldest palace maid's arm and asked, "Did that needle go into my head? Why didn't I feel any pain?"

Before the eldest palace maid could reply, she stood up, walked to the palace, knelt down towards the Queen Mother, and said in a panic: "In full view of the public, Concubine Chun dares to murder her son, please ask the Queen Mother to make the decision for her son."

As he finished speaking, he heard sneers one after another in the hall.

The queen mother above her raised her lips and said, "Bring Huiming a mirror."

Huiming was a little confused: "Why get a mirror instead of calling a doctor?"

The Queen Mother only said: "You will know after you look in the mirror."

Not long after, Princess Huiming took the mirror from the palace maid and saw the three needles inserted in her bun. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, I felt extremely humiliated. Concubine Chun, this is just provocation and teasing! But what she did just now was like a monkey being tricked by her.

Thinking like this, Princess Huiming became even more angry.

She bowed to the Queen Mother again and said: "Mother, you have seen that Concubine Chun is threatening my son. On an occasion like today, she dares to use weapons against my son. Where you can't see, I don’t know how domineering she is.”

"Weapons?" Princess Cheng interrupted: "Did Huiming mean the three needles on your head?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed again.

To the right of the Queen Mother, slightly lower, the Queen cleared her throat and said: "Huiming, Concubine Chun has no ill intentions, otherwise this needle would not have fallen into your bun. You should also be blamed for this matter. Myself, if you hadn’t provoked Concubine Chun with words, she wouldn’t have done this.”

After the words fell, the concubines in the harem, including Jiang Shiying, were a little surprised. Is the queen saying good things for Concubine Chun?

Princess Huiming flattened her mouth in grievance and muttered: "Sister-in-law of the emperor."

She and the Queen have always been close, otherwise, she would not have presented herself to her royal brother at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet before. It's so good for her to be her own princess, why should she get involved in the mess in the emperor's harem?

That beauty was originally prepared by the queen.

The cynicism towards Concubine Chun today was also from the perspective of the queen, who couldn't stand the concubine Chun.

The queen said this, which really made her feel extremely wronged.

The next moment, the Queen changed her voice and said: "But Sister Chunfei, Huiming, although she is a bit rude, she doesn't have any evil intentions. You just stuck three needles on her head without warning." , it’s really a bit of a fuss.”

"Oh?" Jiang Shi's eyes flashed: "Didn't Princess Huiming want me to participate in the fight of tricks? I have accepted Princess Huiming's invitation."

When she said this, she smiled brightly, and the smile was so pure: "This is how I use my concubines to fight skillfully."

The Queen Mother sat up high and ordered: "Send this bracelet of mine to Concubine Chun. For her unique skill in fighting tricks, she should be rewarded with an extra bonus."

As she spoke, she took off the bracelet on her left wrist.

The Empress Dowager has already said that Concubine Chun is trying to be clever. What else can the Empress say? Her eyes were dark, but she could only say nothing.

Jiang Shiying stood up with a smile on her face, bowed to her superiors and said, "Then I am partial to the Queen Mother's good things."

Then, he took the bracelet from Qingshan and put it on his wrist.

Diagonally opposite, Princess Cheng's daughter-in-law, Princess Cheng, said: "The skills of the Queen Mother are better than those of us. We must also thank the Queen Mother Chun for not participating in today's skill match, otherwise the reward of the Queen Mother would definitely be lost. Let Concubine Chun win."

Concubine Shu and Concubine Jin also cooperated with each other and said a few words to make the situation clear.

After another two-quarters of an hour, the skillful needle-threading competition ended. The precious concubine took the lead and received a golden crown inlaid with eight precious pearls from Qingshan.

After that, several more rounds of wine and food were served, and we enjoyed several new songs and dances performed by Yuefu. Before we knew it, it was the time when the moon was at its peak.

The excitement of this day is not over yet.

Qingshan said: "The Queen Mother has asked people to prepare a frangipani boat for all the queens, princesses, princesses and young masters to take a night tour of Chenghu Lake."

Everyone stood up one after another, thanked him, and walked to the shore of Chenghu Lake.

The Queen Mother was already feeling a little tired, so she decided not to go and left the rest of the lake tour to the Queen.

Jiang Shiying, who was pregnant, did not join in the excitement of the lake tour. When she came out of Yingtai Hall, she walked with the Queen Mother for a while, and then led people back to Xiangying Residence.

After she came out of the shower and changed clothes, she had just sat down in front of the dressing table and was about to apply some moisturizing cream on her face when she heard some unusual noises outside.

After a moment, Hongying came in and reported with a serious face: "My Lady, someone from the palace just came to send a message, saying that the imperial concubine accidentally fell into the water while swimming in the lake."

"What?" Hearing this, Jiang Shiying moved her hands and asked, "Is the imperial concubine okay now?"

Hongying said: "The imperial concubine has been rescued and is now back in the Xingyue Pavilion."

Jiang Shiying hurriedly applied the ointment, and then said: "Bring me a coat, let's go to Xingyue Pavilion to have a look."

By the time she arrived at Xingyue Pavilion, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

The maid next to the imperial concubine led her into the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, a group of low-ranking concubines stood quietly.

Seeing her coming, they all saluted her and said, "I have seen the pure concubine."

Jiang Shiying shouted, and then continued walking into the inner room of the dormitory.

In the inner room, the imperial concubine was lying on the bed, Zhao Yuanshi was diagnosing her pulse, and several imperial doctors were standing behind Zhao Yuanshi.

The Queen, Concubine Shu and several other high-ranking concubines were standing not far from the door.

Jiang Shiying took two steps forward and greeted them one by one.

The queen frowned: "Why are you here too?"

Then, without waiting for Jiang Shiying's reply, he ordered: "Bring the concubine Chun over here."

Jiang Shiying thanked her and then said, "I heard that the imperial concubine fell into the water. How is the situation now?"

Before the queen could answer, she heard a voice singing a promise from outside: "Your Majesty is here."

After a moment, Lu Zhaolin strode in.

Everyone saluted him one after another.

"No need." Lu Zhaolin said, "How is the noble concubine?"

Zhao Yuanshi looked a little unhappy: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine was rescued quickly after falling into the water. She did not choke on much water. However, the condition of the fetus in the imperial concubine's belly is not very good."

"Fetus?" Lu Zhaolin asked in surprise: "Is the imperial concubine pregnant?"

Zhao Yuanshi nodded: "More than a month."

Lu Zhaolin was about to say something when the imperial concubine called him softly: "Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin turned to look at her and saw that her face was pale and she looked pitiful.

Then, he walked slowly to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and took the imperial concubine's hand.

The imperial concubine squeezed his hand tightly, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.

Lu Zhaolin hugged her and comforted her with gentle words for a long time before she gradually calmed down.

She raised her head and looked at him, with crystal tears on her face: "Your Majesty, I am so scared. The lake is so icy, cold, and deep, like a man-eating monster."

Speaking of this, she shuddered and then crawled into Lu Zhaolin's arms.

Lu Zhaolin hugged her tightly and said warmly: "Okay, okay, you have been rescued and you are fine."

When Jiang Shiying saw this scene, she remembered that at this time last year, after she fell into the water, she seemed to be too strong?

The imperial concubine's performance was good today. She was so fragile and pitiful that even just looking at her, she softened her heart.
