I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liangpin may not be a complete supporter of the Queen, but she should have some conflicts with Chenfei.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that you can figure out that both Liangpin and Chenfei are beauties of almost the same type. Although they are not like Shufei, with delicate facial features and the most beautiful woman among all, they also have a unique and extraordinary charm.

What is even more commendable is that both of them seem to particularly like white clothes. They are both relatively thin, and standing in the wind they actually have a feeling of floating in the air.

The only difference is that Concubine Chen seems to be more favored and gave birth to the second princess for the emperor, while Concubine Liang has no children and the emperor does not value her much.

As the saying goes, people of the same kind are enemies. Their entire harem is basically made up of people of the same kind, and the two of them happen to be beauties of the same type. It is not difficult to imagine that there would be some conflicts between them.

Since the Emperor favored Concubine Chen, Concubine Liang naturally felt that Concubine Chen had taken away her favor. Similarly, once the Emperor showed his affection for Concubine Liang, Concubine Chen would definitely feel a sense of crisis. It was not unimaginable that the two of them would fight.

Concubine Chen and Concubine Liang quarreled for a while, but they realized that simply bickering would not solve the problem, so they stopped.

At this time, it was the Queen who stepped out to smooth things over and move things forward. To call it a matter, it was actually nothing serious, just that a few palace maids died in a palace and needed to be replaced, a number of porcelain and jade pieces were broken in a palace and needed to be replaced, who was favored by the Emperor, and who had not seen the Emperor for several months.

Some things can be solved with just one order from the Queen, but some things cannot be solved even if they discuss them until next year.

"Sister Chunpin has just moved to Changchun Palace. Are you adapting well?" The Queen asked as a routine question.

Liu Zhirou stood up and replied: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. Everything is fine."

"That's good. Sister Chunpin should take good care of yourself and try to give birth to a prince for the emperor next year." The queen heard the answer and nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Zhirou didn't know how to answer, so she just bowed slightly and then sat back in her seat obediently.

"How is Concubine Lan? I remember that Concubine Lan entered the palace with Concubine Chun. Is she not pregnant yet?" Concubine Chen suddenly spoke and directly mentioned another person who also lived in Weiyang Palace.

Liu Zhirou frowned, feeling quite unhappy. She originally had no particular preference towards the Queen or Concubine Chen, so it didn't matter whether she joined either of them or remained neutral.

But now it seems that Chen Fei really went too far. She knew in her heart that Ai Ziyi was an open-minded and generous person and would not take this matter to heart. But if it was said more seriously, what Chen Fei did was not much different from instigation.

Maybe she should find a way to prove that Chen Fei had an affair with Guo Jieshu.

Ai Ziyi was distracted at first, but when she suddenly heard someone calling her title, she stood up immediately.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but the fate of children is determined by heaven. For someone like me, there is no point in being anxious." Ai Ziyi answered in a proper manner.

"That's true, but giving birth to a child is also different. Some people have done too many evil things, and the children they give birth to are born stupid. But for some people, it's different." Chen Fei still didn't raise her eyes, but the words she said could almost be called heartbreaking.

"Princess Chen, don't go too far!" The queen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"It's not the first time that I've gone too far. Your Majesty, don't you understand yet?" Concubine Chen raised her head and looked directly into the Queen's eyes without any hesitation.

"How dare you! You, a lowly servant, challenge me?" The queen was furious.

At this time, an old lady came out from behind Chen Fei.

"Queen, please be careful with your words. Queen Chen is pregnant with a dragon fetus and cannot stand your tricks."

Liu Zhirou didn't feel anything at first, until she stood up completely, then she saw that this old lady seemed somewhat familiar. She had also come to see her when she was pregnant.

Probably...it seems to represent the queen?

Liu Zhirou suddenly realized that the emperor or the empress dowager must have made a promise to Concubine Chen, so she could be so unscrupulous against the queen today.

Indeed, the most important thing in the palace now is offspring. No matter what, as long as Concubine Chen is pregnant, no one can do anything to her.

Compared to the queen who gave birth to a foolish princess, Concubine Chen was obviously more anticipated by the emperor. Although the second princess she gave birth to was only 4 years old, she could already be seen to be smart and cute.

If Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince, then her promotion to Imperial Concubine would be almost certain. If the Queen made any more mistakes, Concubine Chen could also dream of becoming the mother of a country.

In this situation, the Queen will not give up her plan against Concubine Chen, so there is no point in them continuing to maintain that false peace with each other. It would be better for them to follow their own temperament and offend others.

Anyway, the Queen can't do anything to her, right?

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know about this?" The Queen was obviously very angry, but she still forced herself to calm down and asked this question.

"Empress Chen has been three months pregnant. Because of what happened to Concubine Chun, she didn't dare to make it public until now that it was confirmed that she was pregnant. Now she announced it." The old nanny said in a serious tone.

Liu Zhirou also understood where the love between the emperor and Concubine Chen came from yesterday.

She had heard long ago that the emperor was not a monarch who indulged in women, and naturally would not favor a concubine particularly. There must be deeper reasons for his actions.

It seems that the reason is the child in Chen Fei's belly.

The queen sat down dejectedly.

"I failed to protect the baby in Chunpin's belly. Although it was Shufei's evil ambition, I was also wrong. Since Chenfei doesn't trust me, let it go." The queen did not give others a chance to attack her. She admitted her mistake directly. Although she lost face for a while, her basic situation was still very stable.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager value Concubine Chen for the sake of offspring, but it is impossible for them to value Concubine Chen for her whole life. As long as she does not make big mistakes and is not framed, her position as Queen is very secure.

Concubine Chen had an ordinary family background, so she would not be particularly sad to become the empress dowager after the new emperor ascended the throne.
