37 years old, I became a harem concubine

Chen Tingfang and Xin Changzai were the first to go. They didn't tell each other, but they both brought gifts to Yikun Palace by coincidence, and met at the gate of the palace.

Xin Changzai smiled and said, "It turns out that someone, like me, thought of a place to come."

Chen Tingfang was shy, she pursed her lips and smiled: "He came as soon as he heard the news. For such a big happy event, you have to listen to the nobleman yourself to be at ease."

"Yes, yes, let's go in quickly." The two of them are Shen Huan's good friends, and they will come seven or eight times ten times a month. The eunuchs guarding the palace gate know each other, and let them in after saluting.

Shen Huan was eating chopped melon sticks with rice, when she saw Xin Changzai and Chen Tingfang, she put down her chopsticks and said, "It's just in time, do you want to use something?"

Both Xin Changzai and Chen Tingfang couldn't eat spicy food, and when they saw the bright red color in his bowl, their stomachs ached, so they sat down on the kang and chairs unceremoniously.

Xin Changzai said: "When the news reached my ears, I was still a little worried. I was afraid that someone with a heart would spread falsehoods." She looked at the spicy food that Shen Huan liked to eat before, "I didn't expect it to be true. "

"It's a good thing Chen and I thought of it together. No matter whether the news is true or not, we have prepared a gift. Otherwise, it would be a breach of etiquette now." Bring up the gifts that come.

The status of the two is not high, Shen Huan naturally does not lack this thing.

But it is one thing not to lack, and another thing to want.

Shen Huan asked the maid to take the things down and put them away, and said: "I didn't plan to tell the outside world, the month is still young, so as not to be shocked, I didn't expect someone to spread it for me first."

Xin Changzai, who was still joking just now, looked serious: "I don't know anything about your pregnancy yet?"

Shen Huan shook her head: "Only the emperor, Eunuch An Ning, Xiaoxi and Huiyi beside me, and Qiao Fu who diagnosed the Xi pulse knew, and no one else told."

"The person who spread the news has no good intentions, and wants to use the knives of other people in the palace to kill people."

The women in this palace, if they can fight for anything, they will be heirs if they are favored by the emperor.

In the long run, heirs are more important than the emperor's favor. A prince can not only make the women in the harem gain a firm foothold, but also help the families in the previous dynasty to have more confidence.

Not to mention others, such as the Queen Mother.

When she entered the palace, she was only a small resident, but her stomach was upbeat, she gave birth to the emperor, and now she is the empress dowager.

Chen Tingfang had suffered a lot in the palace, and she was terrified when she mentioned these insidious means, and looked at Shen Huan: "Since so few people know about it, do you know who sent the news?"

"Those who have doubts are just not sure yet," Shen Huan said, "After all, I didn't hide it too much. If someone is watching, they will be able to detect it."

And the doubter...

Except for Niu Hulu, who had seen his morning sickness, he didn't think about it.

If she hadn't returned to the palace, news of her pregnancy would have spread all over the sky, and Shen Huan would not have suspected this innocent-looking, lively little girl.

The saying that people should not be judged by their appearance is really suitable for her.

Xin Changzai and Chen Tingfang felt relieved when they saw that he had something in mind, and they approached him and asked him, "How long has it been since you were pregnant with Mulan?"

"It's only been two months." When she was with them, Shen Huan was not so restrained. "According to the days, I was conceived before going to Mulan." rice.

The sweet and chewy rice was chewed together with the crispy and spicy melon strips. After two mouthfuls, Shen Huan's nose was sweating finely.

Xin Changzai and Chen Tingfang who saw how he was eating had a stomach ache, "Looking at you eating, our stomachs ache."

"However, it's normal for people who are pregnant to have a big change in appetite. It's a good thing to be able to eat."

Chen Tingfang said: "My mother used to say that if the mother can eat spicy food, the child will be white. Seeing the momentum of the nobles eating spicy food, the future child will be like glutinous rice dumplings."

Shen Huan herself likes children very much. When she was pregnant, she was curious when she heard these words, and looked at her: "This is an interesting statement, but those who like sour food."

"Eat sour, the child is smart."

Xin Chang was at the side, watching the two of them pretending to be serious, covered her mouth and smiled: "'Just look at the nobleman and the emperor, this child must be very beautiful."

When Shen Huan heard it, it was true.

With him and Yu Wenyue, how could it not look good.

The three of them chatted till evening, Chen Tingfang and Xin Chang had dinner in Yikun Palace before leaving.

Shen Huan stood at the gate of the palace and watched the backs of the two leaving, and waited until the figures of the two had completely disappeared around the corner before taking Qingzi back.

He understood that this was a rare cleanness before the storm.

In the Queen Mother's place, Yu Wenyao and Lan Bin will definitely make a big fuss. The Queen is almost six months pregnant, even if there is no direct conflict between the two, there is no guarantee that it will not happen in the future.

But behind the scenes, I don't know how many people like Niu Hulu.

"Play two games of chess before going to bed. It's still early, and you won't be able to fall asleep even if you lie down." Shen Huan and Qingzi walked into the hall together.

-

The next day, when Shen Huan was still in a deep sleep, Qingzi woke him up softly: "My lord, I'm awake."

Shen Huan rubbed her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Just now people from Ningshou Palace came to deliver an order, saying that all the concubines will go to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager today."

Ever since the empress became pregnant, the matter of asking for peace was shelved, and everyone closed the palace gates to live their own lives.Now that the Empress Dowager of Ningshou Palace is asking for peace, it is clear that the visitor is not kind.

Shen Huan lost all sleepiness, lifted the quilt and got up, got out of bed with her shoes on, and looked outside: "Take the time to clean up, the Queen Mother's side is no better than other places."

"Yes," Haruko took the maid to change Shen Huan's clothes. It was already autumn, and the clothes were thicker than before, and the material of the clothes was changed from thin silk to brocade.

What Shen Huan is wearing today is a honey-colored cloak with an agarwood-colored shirt inside. Because of her pregnancy, she didn't wear a flowerpot bottom and wore a pair of flat shoes.

Shen Huan took a slight look and said, "Let's go."

Greeting the Empress Dowager earlier than greeting the Empress, there are still a few stars in the sky commemorating the night, and there is a waning moon beside it.

Xiaoxi walked beside him holding a feng shui lantern, and Qingzi followed him step by step.

He was pregnant, and when Yue Yue was still young, bumps and bumps were all big things.

Not long after he walked, a voice behind him stopped him: "Is the nobleman Zhaoxi in front?"

Shen Huan turned around, only to see Concubine Zhang, who was not sitting in the chariot, quickly walked a few steps to catch up with him, with a smile on her face.

He knelt down and bowed to Concubine Zhang: "I have seen Concubine Zhang."

Concubine Zhang quickly took his hand: "What kind of ceremony are you doing? When the child in your womb is born, your status will be the same as this palace."

What the two of them said was still in my ears, how could she think that she was pregnant, Shen Huan couldn't help thinking, wouldn't Concubine Zhang think that she was perfunctory?

He said: "I can't say for sure what will happen in the future, this child came suddenly, and the concubine is in a daze now."

In fact, Zhang Bin was a little angry when she first heard that Shen Huan was pregnant, and felt that she had been cheated.

It is impossible to have children, without that kind of heart, it turns out that it is all fake, fooling myself.

But Concubine Zhang also understands, even if Shen Huan lied to her, so what? That's all.

It's better to keep the relationship with Shen Huan according to the previous relationship.

As long as Shen Huan is trustworthy, she can also drink some soup after following.

Zhang Bin smiled and said, "You're still in a trance. In two months, the child will punch your stomach and stretch your legs."

Shen Huan couldn't help but put her hand on her lower abdomen, "It sounds like a headache, he should be quiet."

"That's up to you," Zhang Bin stood shoulder to shoulder with him, "There were a lot of things that happened on this trip to Mulan, and some of them just sounded chilling."

"What do you have to do with the matter of King Xiangjun and Concubine Lan?"

Shen Huan said: "They are punished, and they are punished freely. I, a concubine in the harem, don't know so many things. No matter who asks, I don't know."

"'Otherwise, let them ask the emperor."

This coincides with Zhang Bin's idea.

Yu Wenyao was the emperor's younger brother, the youngest son of the empress dowager, and Concubine Lan was the niece of the empress dowager. They were all family members, not to mention their harem concubines. Don't dare to get involved in it.

Accidentally, the queen mother grabbed the braid, beat and killed her but couldn't find a way out.

It would be best if the cause of this matter fell on the emperor.

The queen mother covered the sky with one hand in the harem, and the emperor was also suppressing her.

Zhang Bin said: "It's my fault that I thought about it all night, I didn't expect you to have thought of it here."

"The concubine really didn't know what was going on inside, she was injured in a daze, she fainted in a daze, and when she woke up, the dust had settled."

Zhang Bin said: "Your good fortune, there is no one in the whole palace who does not envy you."

Zhang Pin couldn't help sighing in her heart, everyone said that the Yuwen family was born of love, the late Emperor loved women very much when he was in his prime, no one was partial to anyone, and no one was left out in the cold, and a bowl of water served mediocrely.

When she was born in her sixtieth year, she fell in love with Concubine Yu so madly that she forced her son to become a monk, and the concubine died in closed palace.

And the current emperor, in the past, was also cold-hearted, pure-hearted, and only focused on government affairs, but since the nobleman Zhaoxi entered the palace, there has been an increasing trend of exclusive favors.

It would be fine if there is a favor and no children, but the nobleman Zhaoxi is pregnant.

When his child is born, Concubine De's eldest prince, the empress's child, will definitely have something to do inside.

But in the final analysis, Concubine De's family background is good, not to mention the Empress. Only the nobleman Zhaoxi, whose origin is unclear, is a bit taboo to pursue. It's good that the Emperor has been pampering him. If he loses favor, life will be really difficult. .

When he didn't see Yu Wenyao, he was also the treasure held by the queen mother in her palm. The emperor ordered that in this life, maybe he would never be able to return to Shengjing City, and he would end his life in the remote Mulan.
