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

Jiang Shiying elaborated on Xiao Dazi's words yesterday.

Concubine Yu was not stupid. After listening to what she said, she knew that she was being treated as a raft. If it weren't for Concubine Chen's intelligence, I'm afraid the two of them would have been as sharp as a needle-pointed wheat.

She suddenly felt cold all over: "I just announced the good news to the public."

Jiang Shiying turned to look at her and looked directly into her eyes: "Sister Yu Fei entered the palace a few years before me, why are you still so naive? Isn't this the kind of place this palace is?"

Concubine Yu was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Yes. This palace is such a place."

It was precisely because she had seen through this that after losing the sixth prince, she became exhausted physically and mentally and turned her back on him. In the past few years, I have indeed stayed away from the turmoil and lived quietly.

Jiang Shiying picked up a red cuckoo and tied it in Concubine Jade's hair: "Sister, can you blame me for pushing your sister back to the center of this turmoil?"

Concubine Jade shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you just hit my mark. It was me who was greedy in my heart, so I started flattering and competing for favors again."

Jiang Shiying gently covered her lips and whispered: "How can the yearning for children be called greed?"

These few words made Concubine Yu's eyes filled with mist.

Jiang Shiying lowered her head and looked at her belly: "I just hope that my sister can get her wish this time."

Concubine Jade also lowered her head, and her voice was low, but full of hope: "I am also looking forward to this."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shiying smiled slightly.

She herself had a son, but she was born prematurely and was weak.

The imperial concubine was less favored than her, but she had a strong maternal family and a healthy prince.

Concubine Jade's love is between her and that of the imperial concubine. Her mother's family is only slightly worse than the imperial concubine's family, but much better than hers.

What if another healthy tenth prince was born from Concubine Jade's womb.

Among the eight or ninety-three, her peace will be the least eye-catching one.

Whether it is the Ninth Prince or the Tenth Prince, they are Ping An's best shield and whetstone.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is also a seventh prince born from Zhenchong Rong.

With them here, she could get a chance to breathe and let Ping An slowly recover her body.

The two of them walked forward in silence along the stone path of the Imperial Garden. Concubine Yu didn't know where her thoughts turned, she was still thinking about the bamboo silk fan.

"In my opinion, who is behind the bamboo fan?"

Jiang Shiying said: "If we analyze it rationally, it is possible for everyone in the harem."

Concubine Yu asked: "What if we don't analyze it rationally?"

Jiang Shiying uttered two short words: "Your Majesty."

"Why?" Concubine Yu asked.

Jiang Shiying said: "Just think of it as my intuition."

This is a lie.

The truth is, the imperial concubine, just like her, doesn't take the other princes seriously. In the eyes of the imperial concubine, the only competitor for the ninth prince was the frail Ping An, the monk in the imperial concubine's womb.

So when the imperial concubine took action, she was targeting both herself and the imperial concubine.

Concubine Yu pondered for a while and then said: "From now on, I should be more careful about Concubine."

Jiang Shiying took her arm and the two stopped.

Concubine Jade looked at her in surprise and saw Jiang Shiying's serious expression as she said word by word: "It's not just the concubine. Everyone in this palace, sister, must be careful."

Concubine Jade was startled and asked, "Including you, the empress?"

Jiang Shiying nodded: "Including me."

When they reached the vicinity of Pei Ran Pavilion, the two said goodbye and went in different directions.

Chunjian, the eldest maid of Concubine Jade, supported her and walked forward slowly.

"Concubine Chen seems to be quite candid."

"Is it?"

"My queen, do you think Concubine Chen can't be trusted?"

"I don't know. After what happened to Qi Shuren, I no longer dare to trust anyone easily."

On the other side, Jiang Shiying and Qiu Yu also talked about Concubine Yu.

"I hope she can give birth to a child safely, preferably a prince."

"Your Majesty has a kind heart. I'm afraid you are the only one in this palace who thinks so."

Jiang Shiying raised the corners of her lips slightly.

The imperial concubine wanted to watch her fight with the jade concubine, so why didn't she want the imperial concubine and the jade concubine to fight together?

···

In the Ganquan Palace.

Yao Xingde was reporting to Lu Zhaolin about the palace fan.

"Your Majesty, this year Shu was supposed to have presented thirty-six bamboo silk fans as a tribute, but when it arrived at the Department of Internal Affairs, six were broken and only thirty were intact.

As a rule, the Queen Mother and the Empress each get ten fans, the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Chen each get five fans, and the other empresses will not get any fans this year. "

There are not enough silk and bamboo fans to distribute to each palace every year. When the quantity is insufficient, it is often the case that those who are not high enough cannot receive fans.

This is like cherries in summer, although according to palace rules, the ninth concubine has the cherries to eat the peaches. But if the number of people coming in is less, it means that the cherries have already been divided before the ninth concubine's turn.

What to do after the distribution is over? Either he is particularly favored by the Queen Mother or the Emperor, and takes the initiative to step out of the shoes of others. Or just endure it.

The bad thing about what happened this time was that neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor was particularly merciful and said that they would remove the palace fan from those above, but the Secretary of Internal Affairs took the initiative and took action on Concubine Chen. earth.

Yao Xingde looked at Lu Zhaolin's expression and saw that he had no intention of interrupting, so he continued: "Wang Changliang, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Department, broke his leg a few days ago, and it was Deputy Zuo Si who took care of the division of fans.

He originally wanted to order people to distribute the palace fans to various places in accordance with the palace regulations, but considering that the Jade Concubine has just become pregnant, she is receiving your favor. Because of Concubine Jade, you have not even seen Concubine Chen in the past few days. So he made the wrong idea and took out three of the five fans from Concubine Chen and sent them to Changxin Palace. "

Lu Zhaolin asked him: "The imperial concubine has a lot of fans?"

Yao Xingde said: "A handful is a lot."

Lu Zhaolin sneered and sat on the throne with a gloomy face without saying anything.

In terms of favor, the concubine's favor has become less and less since Ah Ying entered the palace. In the past two years, no servant anywhere in the palace dared to neglect Xianfu Palace.

As for Ah Ying, he had only not seen her for a few days, but the Secretary of Internal Affairs dared to take advantage of her and touch her things.

After looking at it, the imperial concubine not only has a high status and long-term seniority, she also has the support of the British government outside the palace! The imperial concubine’s natal family is no less impressive than the queen. Not to mention that she is a first-class noble concubine today, even if she is just a concubine, or a ninth concubine, and even if she is not favored, which slave would dare to tease her? Aren't you afraid of revenge from the British government outside the palace?

Ah Ying was different. Ah Ying's mother's family had been killed by him with his own hands. The only remaining uncle is also deeply estranged from each other because of the past. For this reason, Ah Ying begged him to conceal the uncle-nephew relationship between her and Marquis Xinwu. Almost no one in the former harem knew that she had such an uncle.

Ah Ying is the only one she can rely on. Although the Queen Mother dotes on Ah Ying, she rarely interferes in palace affairs unless necessary. Those slaves were looking at this and felt that it was impossible for her to beg in front of the Queen Mother for a few fans, so they dared to bully her boldly.

Thinking like this, the clouds in Lu Zhaolin's eyes became more intense, and at the same time, a little bit of guilt rose in his heart.
