Qianshi was stunned for a long time and then shook her head.
"You still need to practice more."
After saying that, Concubine Ning sighed helplessly and walked away. Qianshi scratched her head and then quickly followed her.
Gu Qingsheng, who was in the carriage, finally let go of his anxious heart. He opened a corner of the carriage curtain and saw Concubine Ning and Qianshi slowly walking away.
Her eyes were unpredictable. She lowered the curtain and began to think about the woman named Concubine Ning.
Imperial Concubine Ning, whose original name was Ning Zhiyi, was the eldest daughter of the current Grand Marshal and was once the Emperor's concubine in the royal palace.
It is rumored that Concubine Ning has a gentle temperament and does not like fighting. When she married the emperor, she volunteered to be a concubine. Otherwise, with her background and identity, she would have been the mistress of the house no matter what.
When she was in the palace, she and the queen did not get along well. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, she was the only one who could compete with the current queen.
One is dignified and majestic, the other is sweet and gentle. They form two factions in the palace and dominate the situation.
It is said that if Concubine Ning wants to be the queen, then the current queen will have no place.
However, so far, although the two people are just not on good terms, there has been no major action.
Only Gu Qingsheng, who lived a new life, knew that this woman had the greatest ambition.
She knew very well that the only way to gain a foothold in the harem was to have a backer.
This backer is called Zisi.
After being a royal concubine for so long, Royal Concubine Ning's belly has not moved. The third princess, Gu Miao, is already so big, but she still has no children. She can't help but feel anxious.
She had secretly seen some folk doctors, and they all asserted that she was cold and weak and would never have children in her life.
At the beginning, Concubine Ning tried various folk remedies, but eventually she gave up on them all. The matter of this child took root in her heart forever.
What Gu Qingsheng did was to give her a "child".
This is the most effective way to win over Concubine Ning.
In the previous life, it would not be long before Concubine Ning would become pregnant with the dragon heir and give birth to a baby boy. He was just borrowing this title.
And if he wanted to pretend that this child was a gift of help to Concubine Ning, then the thing he gave to Concubine Ning must be extraordinary.
It’s really not easy to find that thing.
Miao Lanlan’s Gu was also added on top.
Everything, everything is ready.
She opened her eyes in the dark sedan, and a flash of light appeared inside.
…
"Qianshi! Qianshi!"
A scream came from Concubine Ning's bedroom, and Qianshi, who was in the side room, ran in hurriedly.
"My dear concubine! What's wrong with you?"
Concubine Ning held onto the exquisite wooden carving beside the bed, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from her head. Perhaps because of excessive fear, her eye sockets were sunken, she kept coughing, and her body was shaky.
Qianshi patted her chest and brought a cup of tea to Concubine Ning. After taking a few sips, she felt better.
The moon was high in the sky, and it was already midnight, but Concubine Ning couldn't sleep.
"My Lady, are you having a nightmare?"
He rubbed Concubine Ning's forehead, his face showing some worry.
But Imperial Concubine Ning was strange. She opened her eyes as if she was recalling the dream, and said strangely for a long while.
"No...it's not really a nightmare..."
"I dreamed that several children were holding onto me and calling me 'Mom'. There were so many children, and they kept calling me 'Mom, Mom, Mom'..."
Qianshi was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in joy.
"This is good news! Imperial Concubine! This is good news!"
She kowtowed continuously and congratulated Concubine Ning.
"This is an auspicious sign, Concubine! It's a sign of future offspring!"
The future of offspring...
Although she kept repeating these four words, Concubine Ning did not look happy. She raised her eyebrows high. Before Qianshi could stand up, the voice of Eunuch Li suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness."
The slightly sharp voice was a little cautious in the night. This was the first time that Eunuch Li came in the middle of the night. Qianshi quickly got up, opened the door and saluted Eunuch Li.
"Why did Eunuch Li suddenly come here in the middle of the night? What's the matter?"
Eunuch Li's voice was flattering, and he was very smooth with Qianshi's face.
"Miss Qianshi, has the imperial concubine gone to bed?"
"Eunuch Li, you came at the right time. The queen just woke up."
Qianshi Road.
“Ouch!”
Just hear him say in surprise
"Your Highness has woken up just in time. The Emperor has just finished reviewing the memorials and wanted me to come and see if Your Highness has had a rest."
"If the emperor has already gone to bed, then he will return to the Yangxin Palace. If he is still awake, then he will come to the Imperial Concubine's place to rest. Congratulations, Imperial Concubine."
He was laughing and making faces, and even Qianshi didn't react.
It is true that the emperor loves the imperial concubine, but in such a huge harem, it has never been heard that the emperor goes to the concubine's bedroom in the middle of the night. This is really the first time in history.
"Your Highness, your Majesty is so favored that even I cannot help but feel happy for you. Please prepare something. The Emperor will be here soon."
The last sentence was spoken in a higher tone, deliberately reminding Concubine Ning who was inside.
After Eunuch Li left, Qianshi was so excited that she almost tripped over the threshold.
"My Lady! The Emperor is actually still thinking about you in the middle of the night! This is the first time the Emperor has come to the Imperial Concubine's bedroom after reviewing the memorials!"
"Your dream is indeed a good omen!"
Her surprised expression seemed unreal to Concubine Ning. She nodded blankly, then her expression became complicated.
"Go prepare the bath water. I just had a dream and I'm sweating all over."
"yes!"
Qianshi's steps were full of wind as she ran.
Concubine Ning looked at the moonlight outside in silence for a long time, then opened the black sachet that Zheng Xueyi had handed to her in the teahouse on the headboard of the bed.
A very strange voodoo doll stood quietly inside, the straw on its body was very messy, and in the center of its body, on a white piece of paper, the two words "Zi Lai" were written in extremely sloppy handwriting.
The current emperor has strictly prohibited the suppression of witchcraft, so even though Concubine Ning has tried everything, she has never thought of touching this.
Could it be that...
Is this thing really effective?
…
The spring scenery is beautiful, but Gu Miao is worried as he walks in the National Temple.
She held Luo Zhaozhao's hand and walked very slowly, as if she cared very much about Luo Zhaozhao behind her.
In just a few days, Luo Zhaozhao had lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his lips were dry and covered with dead skin.
Her steps were a little unsteady. The clothes she wore when she entered the palace were originally very fitting, but now they were a little too big.
Baolan was crying behind Luo Zhaozhao, her eyes were red and swollen, and she kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"The young lady hasn't had a good night's sleep for more than half a month. She has nightmares all night long, and they are all the same scenes."
It was still Du Wensa’s dream.
This dream has affected Luo Zhaozhao for more than half a month. Because the same thing is repeated every night, she has not even dared to rest in the past two days.
