Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Of course, if someone has ulterior motives, they might take advantage of this and, for example, try to trick Shu Jiao into taking some "sex-changing medicine" or "child-making medicine" or some other folk remedy.

That's all to fool fools.

Even if Shu Jiao wanted to believe it, the Queen, Consort Xian, and the Queen Mother who had been watching the battle for a long time would not allow the medicine to enter Shu Jiao's mouth.

The concubines saw clearly the Queen's biased and protective attitude, so they naturally would not say anything against Shu Jiao in front of her or try to show off any tricks.

But the four concubines who had been fighting with the queen for many years all had subtle and meaningful expressions.

What is the Queen doing?

Weren't they colleagues in the Duo Le Mo Group in such a tacit understanding before?

Why did you suddenly rebel?

They didn't believe that the queen, who held the power of the phoenix and could suppress four concubines, some of whom had families, the emperor's favor, some of whom even had children, and whose methods were more cunning than the other, would not know that they had tacitly agreed to have abortions in the past few years?

The queen clearly knew the truth, but she just ignored it.

Why did you suddenly take care of Concubine Yi's pregnancy?

Concubine Hui held her handkerchief to her lips and coughed twice, then tentatively said, "The Queen really loves Concubine Yi and is really kind to her~"

Upon hearing this, the Queen knew that her attitude of protecting Shu Jiao was too obvious and had been discovered.

Hey ~

Isn't it said that old rivals know themselves better?

But now that the topic has come to this, let’s just confirm her attitude!

The queen thought about it, but her face did not show any emotion. She only replied in a deep voice: "It has been a long time since we heard the cry of a baby in the palace. The previous dynasty and the harem had quite some objections. Thanks to Concubine Yi's pregnancy, those rumors have stopped."

So... the Queen feels that the lack of newborn babies in the harem affects her reputation for virtue?

Also!

Now that her eldest son has been deposed, has no real power, does not attend court, is in poor health, and has only been given the title of prince, must she not seize on her reputation for virtue and stand on the moral high ground to blackmail the future new emperor?

Thinking about it this way, the four concubines felt that the logic made sense.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Shu no longer cared about this matter. Concubine Shu began to think about her own soft and cute little girl, while Concubine Jing was observing Shu Jiao——

The queen has clearly decided to protect this baby, so it's difficult for her to do anything!

The eyes of Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui fell on Concubine Guan, Concubine Xiang, and Concubine Zhang, who had just been playing with Shu Jiao.

These three are really good~

"The Queen is right."

Xian Fei took the lead and said, "This baby of Yipin is so important. Whether it is a boy or a girl, we cannot allow some people with bad intentions to say it. In my opinion, Zhang Chang is really smart in talking. He should recite Buddhist scriptures every day and learn to be quiet."

"And Concubine Guan. The emperor favors Concubine Yi, that's the emperor's business, how can you instigate it here? From my point of view, you want to be the emperor's boss."

She dared to provoke Concubine Xiang and tried to make her take action against her daughter-in-law!

She thinks Concubine Guan is really tired of living!

"Xiangpin~"

Concubine Hui coughed softly, her voice weak, but she looked at Concubine Xiang with an especially deep look, "Concubine Yi's baby is still young, and the imperial physician hasn't determined the gender, so don't speculate wildly. Ahem—"

"The emperor loves the princess, too. As long as her biological mother doesn't make any mistakes, the emperor will definitely find a good consort for the princess in the future."

Don't think I don't know your methods.

Do you dare to try it?

If you dare to move, I will take you down. You can imagine what will happen to your little princess then.

Concubine Xiang looked at her, and her heart tightened in fear. Her previous thoughts were instantly stopped, and she smiled awkwardly, "Sister Huifei is right. The emperor naturally loves the princess as well."

damn it!

what happened?

Didn't she just want to make things difficult for Concubine Yi? Why did she bother Concubine Hui, who was so important?

Concubine Hui is used to not caring about anything, but now she is suddenly helping Concubine Yi... Is this the Empress Dowager's intention?

correct!

The Empress Dowager attached great importance to Concubine Yi's pregnancy and even sent Nanny Fang Yue over.

Forget it.

The Empress and the Empress Dowager are the two top bosses in the harem who need to be protected. As small characters, they should not challenge their methods and just be content to be cuckolds.

Not only was Concubine Xiang puzzled, but Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing, who had been rivals of Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui for many years, were also full of doubts.

The two concubines looked at each other, and then tacitly looked at the Xianfei who was drinking tea, the Huifei who was coughing lightly, and the queen who was pretending to be a bodhisattva. After looking at each other with their eyes -

Not right.

Something is terribly wrong!

The Queen's protection can be said to be for her own reputation.

Concubine Hui Bao can be said to have obeyed the instructions of the Empress Dowager.

Why is she the virtuous concubine?

Whether it was directed at Concubine Guan and Concubine Zhang, or the good things delivered to Huanyi Palace every now and then, and the loving look when looking at Concubine Yi... every single one of them must be true.

This is clearly the meaning of Concubine Yi's pregnancy in Baoding.

but……

why?

The second concubine really didn't understand.

But the two concubines were very good at avoiding danger and seeking good fortune, and at responding to emergencies and making flexible decisions.

Shufei was fine, she had a daughter and a stable position, so she had no intention of taking action against Shujiao.

If Concubine Yi is good at calculating, then she will go with the flow and do a few things to be sociable.

If it's not a good plan, she won't do it, so as not to dirty her own feathers and drag down her daughter and her father's family.

After weighing the situations of the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Consort Xian, and Consort Hui, who could have been her partners but turned into her rivals, Consort Jing performed her ultimate move on the spot:

Back off!

Knowing when to retreat and protecting oneself is one of the classic rules for survival in the harem.

Although she was distraught at the loss of an order for abortion, she still told her people to stop and wait a while after returning to the palace.

And Shu Jiao, after watching the daily updates of the palace bickering drama with satisfaction, slowly prepared to return to Huanyi Palace to escape the summer heat.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Fengyi Palace, he saw Concubine Xian, with her head slightly raised, striding towards him, "Concubine Yi, please stay."

"I have seen..."

Shu Jiao had just raised her hand and hadn't even bent her knees when she was interrupted by Concubine Xian, "No need to be so polite. I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time to come with me?"

"Since your Majesty has invited you, I am naturally free."

Shu Jiao responded softly, wondering why she called her over?

Before the two of them took two steps, the frail Huifei followed closely behind them, "Sister Xianfei, sister Yipin, what are you talking about?"

"I invite Concubine Yi to visit Yaohua Palace."

The virtuous concubine responded.

"Really? What a coincidence~"

Concubine Hui smiled, took a step forward and gently took Shu Jiao's hand, "Sister, I also want to invite Concubine Yi to visit you. Do you have something important to ask Concubine Yi? If not, why don't you let me go?"

Concubine Xian: ...

"Why should I let you? I discussed this with Concubine Yi first!"

Concubine Hui looked very weak and swayed. "Then it won't be too late for you to wait. I am here at the order of the Queen Mother to bring Concubine Yi to get some things from me. We can chat for a while, and it won't take much time."

It's this horrible look again!

Pretending again!

You’re such a ***** person!

The corners of Concubine Xian's mouth twitched, and she wished she could roll her eyes to the sky.

After entering the palace for many years, she had suffered so much at the hands of Concubine Hui, who pretended to be sick, weak, innocent and pitiful!

All are bitter tears!!
