After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Chapter 137 The burden of serving His Majesty falls on the shoulders of the sisters

On this day, all the palaces came to the Weiyang Palace to pay their respects. Murong Yue, Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning were all under house arrest. Concubine Xian and Xu Chongyuan sat on the main seats on both sides. Zheng Xiyan looked at this situation and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Your humble concubine/your humble concubine pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"No need to be polite, just stand up." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Queen."

"Everyone, sit down!"

Zheng Xiyan looked listless and not in good spirits. Seeing this, Concubine Xian asked, "Your Majesty, you don't look well. Is there something wrong with your health?"

"I have been feeling a little unwell these past few days, and I always feel like I have no energy." Zheng Xiyan's pregnancy this time was more difficult than the previous one.

As soon as Zheng Xiyan finished speaking, Xu Chongyuan smiled and said, "I think the Queen is pregnant with a prince again this time. The prince is naughty and has caused the Queen a lot of trouble."

Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "A prince or princess is fine. I already have a prince, so I hope this baby will be a well-behaved and lovely princess."

"Your Majesty is right." Concubine Xian agreed with a smile.

"Now, Concubine Chen, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Shu have all been confined by His Majesty. I think you all know the reason. In the future, you must take this as a warning and never follow their old path." Zheng Xiyan's face suddenly darkened and she said in a sharp voice.

"Except for Concubine Zhao, all of you have been in the palace for quite some time. You should know what you should and should not do."

Everyone had different expressions on their faces, and they all had their own little thoughts. They whispered, "Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions!"

"Now, Concubine Chen, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Shu are all under house arrest, and I am pregnant again. The burden of serving His Majesty falls on you sisters."

Zheng Xiyan's eyes were intriguing, and she swept her gaze over them all. "Sisters, now that I have said this, it all depends on your luck."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was suddenly a very strange atmosphere in the hall.

Zheng Xiyan curled her lips and smiled softly, observing the reactions on their faces.

Chen Baolin said sarcastically, "Your Majesty is right, but who can compete with Concubine Zhao? Since entering the palace, Your Majesty has only favored Concubine Zhao."

"However, Concubine Zhao has been in the palace for quite some time, why is there no good news coming out?"

Zhao Cairen was suddenly called by her, her face was a little flustered, "My concubine..."

Xian Fei spoke at this time, glared at Chen Baolin, and helped her out, "Who can say for sure about such things?"

Zhao Cairen gave Concubine Xian a grateful smile.

Chen Baolin looked displeased. He didn't expect that she would help Zhao Cairen.

"Okay! Just take care of yourself! Don't meddle in other people's affairs." Zheng Xiyan said in a serious voice.

"Yes!"

"If there's nothing else, let's all go! I'm a little tired." Zheng Xiyan leaned her arms on the table. She had said everything she needed to say. As for what to do next, it was up to them.

Everyone stood up and bowed, "I will take my leave."

When everyone left Weiyang Palace, Chen Baolin and Cheng Baolin deliberately walked in front of Zhao Cairen, who tactfully stepped back to let them go first.

After they left, Caiwei complained, "You are obviously a higher-ranking talent than them, why do you have to accommodate them like this? You are just too kind-hearted."

"They are just some small matters, there is no need to worry about them. They have served Your Majesty longer than me. Now that I am in favor, they are bound to be jealous. It is better to have less trouble than more." Zhao Cairen said in a deep voice.

"But this is not your fault. They are not favored by themselves. How can you blame you? Who made them not favored by His Majesty?"

"Okay, say less and don't let others hear it." Zhao Cairen said in a serious voice.

"This slave knows that I was wrong."

Chen Baolin and Cheng Baolin followed behind Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian saw everything that happened and scolded them, "Do you two still have any manners? Concubine Zhao is above you in rank. What were you doing just now?"

"I……"

"You've been in the palace for so long, why are you still so unruly?" Concubine Xian scolded them angrily. The two of them were really getting more and more outrageous. If they continued like this, they would suffer sooner or later.

"Sister, look at how proud she is, I..." Chen Baolin said with an unwilling look on his face.

"This palace kindly reminds you two that she is in favor now. If this matter gets to His Majesty's ears, can you two afford the consequences of His Majesty getting angry?"

"But..." Cheng Baolin spoke unconvinced, but was immediately interrupted by Concubine Xian.

"That's all I have to say. In this palace, there are distinctions between the noble and the humble. You two must not forget that." After the Concubine Xian finished speaking, she quickly left. The two of them bowed, "Farewell, Her Majesty."

The two looked at each other and could only swallow their anger. Cheng Baolin comforted them, "Just listen to Sister Xianfei! She is so favored, we can't afford to offend her."

Chen Baolin did not answer, holding his breath.

Shoukang Palace

Princess Xuanhua lived in the palace for a few days before being taken out by Helian Cheng. Later, the Empress Dowager missed her so much that she took Princess Xuanhua back to the palace.

Zheng Xiyan is pregnant again, and the Queen Mother is overjoyed. "That's great! My daughter-in-law and my daughter are both pregnant at the same time. Such a big happy event is really rare."

"Your Majesty is right," Princess Xuanhua replied with a smile.

The Queen Mother saw that Zheng Xiyan didn't look well, so she asked, "I see that the Queen looks very bad, has the imperial physician examined her?"

"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well these days." Zheng Xiyan replied with a smile.

"You must be careful. If you feel unwell, be sure to call the imperial physician." The Empress Dowager warned.

"Yes, your Majesty and I are both looking forward to this baby being a princess." Zheng Xiyan stroked her belly which had not yet bulged.

The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "The Emperor is looking forward to a princess, but as the Queen, you only have one prince, which is far from enough. If you have more princes, your position will be more unshakable."

"My son, I will remember it."

Princess Xuanhua asked, "Mother, do you want a grandson or a granddaughter?"

"Everything is fine, everything is fine. All the grandchildren are fine. Mother loves them all the same."

"Ah."

Zheng Xiyan joked, "The prince consort has been coming to the palace every day these days. As the saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like three years. Mother, you left Xuanhua in the palace, but it's hard for the prince consort."

"I can't bear to leave my daughter, so let your husband suffer for a while!" The Empress Dowager has grown older and more willful.

"Mother~" Princess Xuanhua said shyly.

The palace maid came in and said, "Your Highness the Queen Mother, Your Highness the Queen, Princess, the Prince Consort is outside asking to see you."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Look, mother, what did I just say? The prince consort has entered the palace again."

Princess Xuanhua stood up and said to the two of them, "Mother, sister-in-law, I'm going to go out for a while."

"Go!"

Princess Xuanhua left happily. The Queen Mother saw her excited face and said with a smile, "Look how happy she is."
