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

In the afternoon of the second day, Jiang Shiying just came out of Shoukang Palace.

The weather in Beijing has been gloomy the past few days. It's not raining either, it's just a gray sky, which makes people feel depressed and panicked.

It's rare that it's sunny today. Seeing that the sun is just right at this moment, Jiang Shiying is in good spirits and says: "If we don't go back now, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk. At this time of year, the hibiscus is about to bloom, right? We haven't seen it yet. , I just happened to go take a look today.”

The hibiscus in the palace is very old, and now it is taller than people.

Jiang Shiying took Qiu Yu, Hongying Hongshan, and two young eunuchs along the cobblestone path. They were about to reach a fork in the road.

Under the cover of layers of flower branches, someone could be vaguely seen walking towards the intersection on the path on the right.

The woman's voice came clearly to this side through the gap between flowers and leaves——

"This hibiscus blooms proudly even in the frosty and foggy October weather, so it is also called the frost-resistant flower."

Listen to this voice, the speaker is Zhenmei.

Jiang Shiying stopped and signaled to everyone behind her not to go forward and to wait here to avoid accidentally bumping into Zhenmei.

Another female voice was heard saying: "Mrs. Zhenmei really knows this hibiscus. I have learned a lot today."

This voice is not unfamiliar either, it belongs to Zhang Guiren.

Jiang Shiying just heard from Hongying last night that Zhang Gui and Zhen Meiren were traveling hand in hand in the Imperial Garden, and she didn't expect to see them today.

I heard Zhen Meiren say: "My mother likes hibiscus very much, so I planted some at home."

There was a bit of nostalgia in her tone.

Zhang Guiren said flatteringly: "When the beauty gives birth to the little prince, your majesty will surely promote you as the head of the first palace. At that time, the beauty's mother can hand a sign to visit the palace."

Zhenmei heard the words, but said nothing.

Soon, Zhen Mei and Zhang Guiren took a few steps forward, rounded the corner, and revealed their figures.

I guess they didn't expect to meet Jiang Shiying here. When they first saw her, they were a little surprised at first, and then they saluted and said, "Concubine, I pay my respects to the noble concubine."

Jiang Shiying said: "No need to be polite, just get up."

Seeing Zhang Gui and Zhen Meiren holding hands and being intimate, Jiang Shiying couldn't help but curse.

Zhenmei is pregnant now, and it is the most difficult time to withstand the collision. Didn’t you see that all the high-ranking concubines in the harem kept a distance from her? They were all afraid that if something happened, they would be involved.

Zhang Guiren was kind enough, so he stepped forward on his own.

When Jiang Shiying met them here, they were two or three feet away and didn't want to get involved.

Zhen Meiren stood up straight and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet your empress here. Does your empress also like hibiscus?"

Jiang Shiying said: "That's not true. I'm just wandering around casually."

Then, seeing that Nanny Feng was not following Zhenmeiren, she asked, "Why don't you see Nanny Feng with you today?"

Ever since Grandma Feng was pointed to Zhen Meiren, she has been very dedicated to her duties. Even when she goes to the imperial concubine's palace to greet her, she will follow her every day, for fear that she will encounter any accident.

Zhen Meiren replied: "Mother Feng accidentally sprained her foot today."

It was reasonable, but it made Jiang Shiying feel more cautious. She felt that something might happen today, so she decided to stay away from her.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhenmei seemed to realize that Jiang Shiying was not very talkative, so she wisely left.

Jiang Shiying still stood there, ready to wait until they were far away before moving forward.

Zhen Mei and Zhang Guiren led people to the path on the left. After walking only two steps, they heard her exclamation.

It turned out to be Zhang Guiren beside her, who fell forward for some reason. Zhen Meiren held hands with her, and her body, which was affected by her, was leaning forward, about to fall to the ground.

Zhang Guiren quickly let go, but it was too late.

The palace maid and the young eunuch behind them stretched out their hands to pull her, but instead they bumped into a mess and no one could pull her.

Jiang Shiying sighed in her heart, but she still moved forward. Somehow, she saw her quickly bypassing the eunuch and maid in front of her, and arrived in front of Zhenmei, who was able to support her.

Zhen Meiren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much, Concubine Chungui."

Zhang Guiren, who fell to the ground, was also extremely happy.

Chungui concubine not only saved Zhen Meiren, but also saved her life. If it was because of her that Zhen Meiren's pregnancy would be anything bad, the best outcome she could get would be to spend her remaining life in the cold palace.

Before Zhang Guiren could say his words of thanks, Zhen Meiren's face instantly turned pale, she covered her stomach with her hands and said, "My stomach hurts."

Jiang Shiying shouted sternly: "Why don't you go ask the imperial doctor quickly?"

The closest place to here was Concubine Jin's Yongfu Palace. Jiang Shiying immediately ordered people to carry Zhenmei to Yongfu Palace.

In Yongfu Palace, Concubine Jin had received the news and gave up the bedroom in the main palace so that the imperial doctor could diagnose Zhen Meiren's pulse.

Jiang Shiying roughly described what happened to her, and she saw that Concubine Jin, who was always kind and easy to talk to, her face instantly darkened, and she looked at Zhang Guiren with a look that was somewhat majestic for a concubine.

Zhang Guiren was scared and anxious, and explained anxiously: "I didn't do it on purpose. I fell forward when the sole of my foot slipped and I couldn't stand firm."

Concubine Jin glanced at her and ordered: "Help Mr. Zhang to kneel outside the palace."

When the imperial concubine arrived, she saw Zhang Guiren kneeling outside the palace. Her eyes glanced at Zhang Guiren, and she led them into the palace without saying anything.

The imperial concubine's hair was simply pulled into a bun, no makeup was applied to her face, and her clothes were simple and comfortable. Apparently, he rushed here as soon as he received the news.

Seeing that Concubine Jin and Jiang Shiying were about to salute, she stopped them directly and said, "Stop being so polite and tell me what's going on."

No wonder she was so anxious, and no wonder Concubine Jin had a rare cold look on her face just now.

The two of them are now in charge of the palace. What happened today may be due to their inability to manage the palace.

Just as Jiang Shiying was about to speak, she heard the young eunuch outside announcing: "Your Majesty has arrived."

Several people saluted Lu Zhaolin. Lu Zhaolin personally helped Jiang Shiying up and said, "What happened today is thanks to you again."

Jiang Shiying said: "This is what Ah Ying should do."

Just as Lu Zhaolin was about to ask in detail what happened today, Li Fei and others also arrived and saluted him one after another.

Lu Zhaolin shouted, his eyes passing over them inadvertently, not knowing what he saw, his eyes instantly darkened, pointing to the two concubines standing at the end and said: "Which palace are you two from, and what are your names?"

The two people he named were delighted when they heard this. They all entered the palace during this year's general election. They have been in the palace for almost half a year, but they have not yet slept with them.

Everyone in the palace is snobbish. They have a low status and are not favored. You can imagine what kind of life they live. Now, is the time for change?

Just listen to their answers——

"Concubine Hanzhang Gongguan Cainu pays her respects to Your Majesty."

"Concubine Chen Cainu of Jingren Palace pays her respects to Your Majesty."

Then, the two people, who were full of expectations, heard Lu Zhaolin say: "Your Majesty, please remove their green cards."

Then, he looked at the two Cai Nu and said, "You two, go back and be grounded for three months."

The two of them were stunned. As soon as they asked for mercy, Yao Xingde ordered someone to take them away.

Jiang Shiying was not surprised.

Look at the attire of the imperial concubine, and then look at the attire of Concubine Jin, Concubine Jing, and others. Even Concubine Li, who usually wants to open a jewelry shop on her head, is wearing something light and watery today.

Obviously, after receiving the news that Zhenmei's fetal image was unstable, they had no intention of pretending, whether it was true or false.

The two people just now were dressed like butterflies, and the makeup on their faces was also exquisite and beautiful, making them stand out among the concubines.

Obviously, he came to Yongfu Palace not because of Zhenmei and the emperor's heir, but because he had a chance to meet Lu Zhaolin here.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaolin was worried about the child in Zhen Meiren's belly. They happened to bump into each other and became the victims of the fire at the city gate.

At this time, several imperial doctors just walked out of the inner room of the dormitory.

Lu Zhaolin asked anxiously: "How is Zhenmei?"

The leader, Zhao Yuanshi, bowed and said: "Replying to Your Majesty, Zhenmei was frightened today and almost blushed. I gave Zhenmei an acupuncture, and now the condition of the fetus has been stabilized. It only needs a few more days to calm down." Fetal medicine will do."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall finally felt relieved.

After the report on the history of Zhao Yuan was completed, Zhen Meiren's eldest maid, Chang Xia, also came out of the inner room, took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "I have seen your majesty. Our young master would like to invite your majesty to come in and see you."
