Chapter 87: Being spoiled by the emperor

"It's snowing! Your Majesty, it's snowing!"

Mi Chun ran in from outside, but unexpectedly ran into Concubine Shu Gui who was dressing Emperor Qing Ling.

Concubine Shu Gui glanced at her and said, "You are so old, but you still have no sense of propriety."

Mi Chun looked at Emperor Qing Ling with fear and trepidation, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, and I ask Your Majesty and Your Majesty to punish me." Emperor Qing Ling

stayed in Guangling Palace last night and stayed by their mother and daughter all night without closing his eyes.

He looked at Concubine Shu Gui leisurely and said, "Yao He, you look much better, and you speak as vigorously as I do."

As he said this, he pinched Concubine Shu Gui's face, showing his extreme doting.

Mi Chun lowered her head in shame, not daring to look.

Concubine Shugui smiled and straightened his dragon robe for him, whispering, "Your Majesty watched over me and Ying'an all night last night, and your face is all black and blue. If I don't get better, wouldn't it be a waste of your Majesty's kindness?"

When Ying'an was mentioned, Emperor Qingling's face darkened.

This morning, the Ministry of Punishment reported that they had tortured Yu Mama all night, but she still insisted that she only used tranquilizing incense and laxatives, and never mentioned the matter of cutting the intestinal grass.

It didn't work to force her to confess.

He said in a deep voice: "Yao He, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Concubine Shu looked up at him and said lightly: "Your Majesty, I will do whatever you say."

Emperor Qingling laughed twice, glanced at Ying'an who was still sleeping in Nanny Xiang's arms, and said gently: "It's snowing today, so don't go out, or you might catch a cold."

Concubine Shu nodded: "Okay."

"Then I will go to court. You tell the small kitchen to prepare the meal, and I will have breakfast in your palace after court."

Shu Guifei lowered her head and advised, "Your Majesty, there are so many sisters in the harem. You should treat them equally."

Emperor Qingling smiled, raised his hand to scratch her nose, and said, "If I favor someone else and my beloved concubine gets jealous, won't I still have to go to great lengths to make you happy?"

Shu Guifei coquettishly adjusted Emperor Qingling's dragon robe in her hand, patted his shoulder lightly, turned around and sat on the couch, "I will ignore you."

Emperor Qingling looked at her with a smile.

"I'm leaving. You take Ying'an and be good. The weather has been cold in the past two days. Wait until it gets warmer before sending Ying'an back to the cold palace."

Concubine Shugui nodded, stood up and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, your concubine respectfully sees you off."

After Emperor Qingling left, Nanny Xiang took Ying'an back to the side hall to rest.

While combing Concubine Shu Gui's makeup, Mi Chun said, "Your Majesty, the princess is in such a state, but the emperor still lets her live in the cold palace. Doesn't he like her?"

Concubine Shu Gui said in a low voice, "Mi Chun, I told you that the emperor's will cannot be guessed. What did you do?"

Mi Chun stopped what she was doing, took a half step back and said, "Your Majesty, I just feel sorry for Princess Ying'an. It's only been two months, and she has committed this crime. There are a lot of intestinal weeds in my hometown, all over the mountains. In the past, nine out of ten farmers would not come back when they went up the mountain to chop firewood. I didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person in the harem."

Concubine Shu Gui was silent.

After a long time, she said, "Hurry up and wash me. Today is the first morning and evening visit after the Empress was released from confinement. If I am late, I don't know what crime the concubines in the palace will accuse me of."

Mi Chun quickened her pace, but her thoughts were heavy.

Concubine Shugui's sedan chair was heading towards Jingren Palace. Along the way, the snowflakes in the sky were so beautiful.

She was holding a hand warmer and wearing a fox fur cloak awarded by the emperor. At first glance, she seemed to be integrated with the snowy scenery, extremely beautiful.

She said in a deep voice: "Mi Chun, don't let others see through you when you are around me. If you look like this now, go out of the palace and ask Nanny Chen to come back."

She was fine in the morning, but she became like this after going out.

Half dead, her worries were all written on her face. If the concubines with ulterior motives saw it, who knows how they would frame her!

Mi Chun nodded: "Your Majesty, when I went out to see the snow this morning, I heard the eunuchs discussing the majesty in Shuyuzhai..."

Concubine Shu Gui frowned, and her eyes became a little deeper.

"Shuyuzhai? It's so far away, why haven't I heard that there is a majesty living there?"

Mi Chun continued: "Your Majesty entered the palace late. The majesty lived in the prince's mansion when she was the emperor or the prince. She has a second prince, and now she lives in Xuyang Palace."

Concubine Shu Gui was in deep thought.

Xuyang Palace was where the princes of the Daliang Dynasty who did not have their own palaces lived, and the princesses lived in Yinghua Palace.

Now, there are only the eldest prince and the second prince in Xuyang Palace.

However, the people in the harem do not know who their mothers are, and the emperor does not allow people to discuss it.

She did not know that the second prince's mother now lives in Shuyuzhai.

In Jingren Palace, the concubines of each palace stood in the courtyard.

When they saw Shuguifei coming, the concubines of each palace knelt down to salute.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Shuguifei. I wish you good health and happiness."

Shuguifei said lightly, "Get up."

After that, she walked to the Queen. Just as she was about to salute, the Queen said, "The Emperor has sent someone to ask for leave for Shuguifei. Why did you come here in person? If the Emperor knew, he would think that I was harsh on you. Wouldn't it be my fault then?"

Shuguifei chuckled, "I'm fine. It's because the Emperor favors me, so he is extra careful."

The Queen frowned, looked at her, and said nothing.

Concubine Xian stepped forward and said, "I heard that Concubine Shu Gui had just given birth. Why didn't you take a good rest? Didn't the imperial physician say that you should stay in bed for a while? It snowed again today and the weather is very cold. You might get sick!"

As soon as she said this, everyone's face turned pale.

Concubine Shu Gui didn't remember that she was pregnant with her second child. This had already spread in the palace, but Concubine Xian deliberately mentioned this matter. This action was clearly intentional.

Concubine Shu Gui looked at her and said in a rather cold voice, "Although I don't remember my pregnancy, the Emperor does. He sent the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver the latest pink fox fur cloak early this morning. It is said to be made of the rarest pink snow wolf fur in the mountains. It is worth ten thousand taels and is very warm. Not to mention being cool, I am actually sweating now. But I still thank my sister for her concern. I have been serving the Emperor for more than a month. Why is there no movement in your stomach? Could it be that you were too tired in the past?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene looked strange.

Concubine Shugui's words scolded everyone on the scene.

Concubine Xian had been in the palace for a month, but her belly was still not moving. There were many concubines in the harem who had been in the palace for several years, but they had never given birth to a child. Not to mention physical reasons, most of them had no emperor's favor, so how could they get pregnant?

Moreover, Concubine Xian was a maid in the harem before, doing the roughest work in the Yu Garden. In other words, she was secretly mocking Concubine Xian's background.

It seemed that Concubine Xian's show of goodwill in Guangling Palace yesterday did not ease the relationship between the two, but instead made them more hostile.

The Queen interrupted Concubine Shu Gui and frowned, saying, "Okay, we are all sisters in the harem, don't be too picky. I see that the snow has stopped. Why don't you go with me to enjoy the snow? I heard that the plum blossoms in the Yu Garden are in full bloom."

Concubine Shu Gui knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I won't go."

After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for the Queen to say anything.

It seems like she is spoiled by her husband. She

doesn't take the Queen seriously at all.
