She was the emperor's legal wife, married by the late emperor himself, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. Although her daughter Chengxuan was injured by a villain before, she is getting better now.
She is now pregnant again, and once she gives birth to a prince, her position will be unbreakable.
No matter how happy these people below are, they can't surpass her. The children they gave birth to are illegitimate children. How can they compare with her legitimate sons and daughters? She was really blinded by greed and lowered her status to compete with concubines.
It was this Concubine Yi who felt a bit threatening to her. Thinking that the Emperor actually asked the dean of Xianning Girls' School to be the first teacher of Concubine Yi's third prince, she couldn't help but frown.
But there is no rush for this matter. The third prince is only three years old now, while her Chengxuan is already nine years old. Moreover, the emperor has always valued the eldest son, and the old ministers in the court are also people who value orthodoxy.
Even if a prince born out of wedlock is somewhat intelligent, how can he compare with her eldest legitimate son? Moreover, when it comes to intelligence, her Chengxuan is not inferior to anyone else.
The most important thing now is the baby in her belly. Once she safely gives birth to the prince in her belly, she will not be afraid of anyone.
She had specially sought out a skilled imperial physician to check on her, and she was pregnant with a prince.
Thinking of this, the queen looked even more proud.
After the meeting, Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian talked together.
On the palace road, Concubine Xian asked about Cheng Zhao's studies: "How is Cheng Zhao doing? You are too cruel. Cheng Zhao is not even three years old, and you are willing to let him get up early and study late?"
Ning Yuxi said helplessly, "It was the Emperor who asked Cheng Zhao to start studying, and Cheng Zhao also likes it. Besides, how can it be said that he has to get up early and stay up late?"
It's clearly from 8 am to 4:30 pm, so he doesn't have to get up early or go to bed late. If he is so young and has to get up early and go to bed late like the eldest prince and the second prince in the study, she will be the first one to feel distressed.
Concubine Xian curled her lips and said, "Alright, as an outsider, I can't interfere in your affairs."
Ning Yuxi rolled her eyes rudely. They're a couple? Aren't you and the emperor also a couple?
Concubine Xian turned around and talked about Cheng Zhao's husband: "I would like to go to your place to pay a visit to Dean Xu when I have time. Her grandfather was once a tutor, and her father was also an official in the court. He was a good friend of my grandfather, but he fell into decline later."
After hearing what Concubine Xian said, Ning Yuxi was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Xu's father and your grandfather were good friends?"
Mr. Xu is 55 years old this year, and Concubine Xian is the same age as herself and is 21 this year. Mr. Xu can almost be her grandmother. Are they only one generation apart?
Xianpin knew what she meant and explained, "My father was born when my grandparents were thirty-five years old."
I see. Ning Yuxi nodded and said, "How about you come to my place some other day? Cheng Zhao will be off on the tenth day of the lunar month, so I'll be free that day."
"Okay, go back and tell Mr. Xu that you won't offend him by visiting him rashly."
Ning Yuxi nodded in agreement.
The weather was good today, so the two of them did not take the sedan chair. Now there was still a long way to go before reaching the fork in the road, so they started talking about other things.
Suddenly, there was a shaking in the flowers next to them. The movement was not loud, and the two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice it until Ning Yuxi saw a black shadow coming towards her out of the corner of her eye.
She was startled and subconsciously dodged to the side, but she moved too quickly and bumped into Ruyi who was supporting her. Both of them were caught off guard and were about to fall.
The palace servant following behind reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to support Ning Yuxi and her servant, preventing them from falling.
Coming back to her senses, Ruyi ignored her painful shoulder and immediately cared about her master's condition: "Master, are you okay?"
Seeing Ning Yuxi shook her head to indicate that she was fine, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. Then she angrily scolded, "Whoa, how dare you offend Her Majesty the Concubine Yi?"
"Meow~ Meow~"
Looking at the cat at her feet that was looking at them with a silly face... a cat, Ruyi was stunned, her face frozen with anger.
Concubine Xian also frowned and looked at the culprit. When she saw it was a cat, she was stunned.
However, when Ning Yuxi looked at the cat in front of her...Zhu Mi, her eyes lit up. This was a snow-white cat with a round body that looked to weigh about 30 kilograms.
He has a round head, a round body and round eyes. Although he is a little fat, he is very cute and adorable. Ning Yuxi fell in love with him at first sight.
Smiling, he squatted down and wanted to touch it. Seeing this, Ruyi exclaimed, "Master, be careful."
Concubine Xian also advised: "Be careful that it hurts you." She still remembered that when the fat cat rushed out just now, it scared everyone and almost caused Yuxi to fall.
Ning Yuxi said, "It's okay, just look."
Ning Yuxi raised her hand and touched the piglet's head. It was not shy. After being touched twice, it rubbed Ning Yuxi's hand actively, meowing and acting coquettishly.
Seeing this, Ruyi and Xianpin finally felt relieved and let Ning Yuxi pet the cat.
After petting it for a while, Ning Yuxi couldn't let it go: "I don't know whose cat it is."
If it had no owner, she would take it back. However, seeing that it had grown so fat, it should not be without an owner. Besides, cats and dogs were not allowed to appear in the palace unless they were raised by the masters of the palace.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice called out from not far away: "Snowball, Snowball, Mimimi, where are you? Come out soon."
Ning Yuxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a palace maid lowering her head and calling a cat in the flowers.
I guess they're looking for this cat. Is this cat called Snowball? It's quite descriptive, just an oversized Snowball.
At this time, the palace maid also saw Snowball, and Ning Yuxi, Concubine Xian and their group beside Snowball.
Seeing this, she hurried forward and saluted: "This servant pays respects to the Empress Yi and the Empress Xian."
Ning Yuxi asked her, "Get up, is this cat yours?"
The maid hurriedly said, "Replying to Concubine Yi, this cat is raised by Concubine Xin, and its name is Snowball. I am Concubine Xin's maid."
Ning Yuxi nodded.
The palace maid then left with the snowball in her arms.
"It was actually raised by Concubine Xin." Ning Yuxi was a little surprised. Concubine Xin didn't look like someone who had the leisure to raise a cat.
But this cat's silly and cute appearance is quite similar to Concubine Xin, well, mainly silly.
Xianpin suddenly said, "I remember now. I think I heard somewhere a while ago that Concubine Xin had a cat. I didn't think much of it then, and I didn't think about it just now."
The cats had gone far away, and the two of them stopped arguing and went back.
