Ning Yuxi's sleepiness disappeared instantly. Why did the emperor come?
Before she could get up, the emperor pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her sitting on the bed, he stopped her and said, "Okay, lie down. I'll wash myself."
Ning Yuxi naturally hoped that she would not have to get up again, as it would not be too troublesome, so she lay down again after hearing what she heard, and waited for the palace servants to help the emperor wash up and lie down on the bed.
Ning Yuxi asked with a smile, "Why did Your Majesty come to my place today?"
Gu Qilan naturally knew what she meant. In the evening, Song Qu had asked him which new lady he was going to visit. He glanced at Ning Yuxi and said, "Why, I can't come?"
"Yes, yes, of course I can. I'm just worried that the new sisters will be waiting anxiously." Ning Yuxi teased with a smile.
"Since Xier is so magnanimous, I will leave." As he said that, Gu Qilan made a gesture to stand up.
Ning Yuxi rolled her eyes silently, then pretended to be angry and said: "Your Majesty~"
Seeing this, Gu Qilan laughed heartily, then lay down again and pulled her into his arms: "I came here to tell you a good news. During dinner, your brother sent someone to report that Yin Cheng is one month pregnant."
"Ah, really?" Ning Yuxi was slightly surprised.
But think about it, they have been married for almost a year, and pregnancy is normal. The Queen Mother was still talking about it a few days ago.
"The Empress Dowager knows about this. She was still talking about it a few days ago."
Gu Qilan said, "Once I know about this, I will naturally tell my mother first."
Ning Yuxi smiled: "That's good."
…
When paying respects the next day, Ning Yuxi received a lot of attention.
She could understand it too. Yesterday, they, the newlyweds, were eagerly waiting for the emperor to sleep with her, but she didn't expect that the emperor would go to her place.
Jingpin was the first to say sarcastically, "Your Highness Yifei is so lucky! Yesterday was a great day for these new palace ladies, but I didn't expect that Your Highness Yifei would snatch it away."
Ning Yuxi sneered. This trick of inciting hatred was really low-level, but it was useful. After all, what she said was true. But how could Ning Yuxi let people hold a grudge against her in vain?
"If Jingpin can't speak, then don't say anything. What do you mean I stole it? It was the Emperor who asked for it. Do you think I should ask the Emperor to leave? I wouldn't dare do that."
"You...it's the Emperor who wants to go, but you can persuade him to go to the new sisters who have just entered the palace. They have just entered the palace and have not yet served the Emperor.
"You are an old lady in the palace, Concubine Yi. You should also consider the new sisters who have entered the palace. The Empress said that the sisters in the harem should live in harmony." Concubine Jing said with a tone of condemnation.
Ning Yuxi really wanted to laugh at her. She glanced at Jingpin coldly and said, "Sister Jingpin is really virtuous. She actually handed the emperor over to someone else. Well, in the future, if the emperor wants to visit you, you must persuade him to go to their place."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing immediately retorted, "Why should I persuade the Emperor to go to someone else's place?"
Ning Yuxi immediately responded, "Yes, why should I persuade the emperor to go to someone else's place?"
"You..." Concubine Jing was speechless.
Ning Yuxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "What a moron."
Ning Yuxi glanced at everyone present and said in a neutral tone, "It's not the Emperor's freedom to go there. If you don't have the ability to make the Emperor go there, then just stay put and stop staring at others like black-eyed chickens."
At this point, Ning Yuxi smiled and said, "Of course, if there are people like Jingpin who are willing to persuade the emperor to go to someone else's place, I don't object, but you have no reason to let others do the same. Take care of yourselves first!"
Everyone nodded and answered yes. Ning Yuxi glanced at Jingpin's innocent face and stopped talking.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Concubine Xian opposite her secretly giving her a thumbs up.
Ning Yuxi smiled silently. She was too lazy to deal with these people in the harem. How could she control the emperor's whereabouts? If she couldn't make the emperor go, they would embarrass her. Why should I spoil you?
In the evening, the emperor did not come again. Ruyi told me that the emperor went to live with Concubine Jing's cousin, Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan was originally arranged by the Empress to live in Concubine Jing's palace. The Empress was just afraid that the world would be in chaos, so Concubine Jing later went to the Emperor and said that she did not want to live with Concubine Lan. Then the Emperor asked the Empress to make new arrangements.
Ning Yuxi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the emperor agreed so readily when she had told him that she did not want to live with Concubine Lian. It turned out that someone had already mentioned it to her.
Later, the Queen arranged Concubine Lan to live in a palace very close to Concubine Jing's Yunqing Palace.
Today, I heard that the emperor originally went to have dinner with Concubine Jing, so the emperor naturally wanted to stay, but Concubine Jing did not keep the emperor. During the stalemate, Concubine Lan went there with snacks.
She said she had made some new snacks for my sister to taste, but everyone knew what she was planning. Why would she eat snacks after dinner so late at night?
It was just that she heard that Concubine Jing didn't want the emperor to stay overnight, so she shamelessly approached him. But she succeeded, and the emperor actually went.
Hearing this, Ning Yuxi couldn't help but shook her head. The Emperor and Concubine Jing were really arrogant, one more than the other. If one of them was a little softer, the stalemate wouldn't have continued like this, always giving the other person an advantage.
When paying respects the next day, he saw that Concubine Lan was indeed very pleased with herself. However, that was enough for her to be pleased with herself, after all, she was the first of the newlyweds to serve the emperor in bed.
For the next two days, the emperor summoned Concubine Lan to sleep with him. This made her the center of attention of everyone in the harem, and she became the talk of the town for a while.
That afternoon, Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian were enjoying the scenery in the pavilion in the center of the lake in the Imperial Garden. As they were talking, they suddenly heard a complacent voice coming from not far away.
"Big sister, I really like this orchid too. Why don't you give it to me? Big sister, you've been in the palace for so long and have seen all the good things. Why are you fighting with me for it?"
Ning Yuxi and the other looked up and saw that Concubine Jing was blocking the way of a bush of orchids not far away and asked her for a pot of orchids in the arms of the palace maid beside Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing's expression was calm. She glanced at her calmly and uttered two words: "No!"
After saying that, Concubine Jing was about to bypass her, but Concubine Lan chased after her and stopped her again: "Big sister, it's just a pot of flowers. What's the harm if you give way to your younger sister?
"Sister, you have always been gentle and dignified. If the Emperor knew you were so heartless that you wouldn't even give up a pot of flowers to your younger sister, I'm afraid he would dislike you even more."
Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian looked at each other silently, and both felt goosebumps all over the floor. It was too spicy!
