Chapter 1133: Conferred the title of Concubine
Pei Chuyan suddenly recalled the image of Lu Xingwan complaining while writing in Qingyun Palace.
A helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head.
At this time, Pei Chuyan bowed to Jin Xin in front of him and said, "Sister Jin Xin."
In fact, nowadays, because of Jinxin and Jinyu's status and position, most people call them aunt.
However, these "old people" who followed Song Qingyan had long been accustomed to calling them sisters.
Lu Xingwan noticed that Jinxin seemed to have a hint of anxiety between her brows and couldn't help but frowned.
Only then did she realize that Sister Jinxin came to see her, probably because she wanted to tell her something important.
She took Sister Jinxin's hand, said goodbye to Pei Chuyan, and set off on the road back to Qingyun Palace.
Along the way, she didn't wait for Sister Jinxin to speak again, and both of them remained silent.
Lu Xingwan could also feel Sister Jinxin's hesitant emotion.
Lu Xingwan finally couldn't bear it anymore, she stopped and wanted to turn around to ask Sister Jinxin.
But Jinxin was already following Lu Xingwan with some entanglements, and she was distracted for a moment and didn't pay attention, and actually bumped into the princess.
Of course, she didn't bump into it.
In order to avoid the princess, she turned her body to the side. The next moment, when Lu Xingwan came to her senses, she saw Sister Jinxin was about to fall down.
Without thinking too much, she hurriedly stepped forward and used her spiritual power to gently support sister Jinxin's body who was about to fall.
Jinxin felt something was a little strange, but before she had time to think about it, Lu Xingwan had already started to "question" her.
"Sister Jinxin, if you have something to say, just tell me. We will be arriving at Qingyun Palace soon. Do you think Sister Jinxin will speak again in front of mother?"
She could see that the reason why Sister Jinxin came to take her back to the palace today was because she had something in her heart that she wanted to tell her, and this matter had to be kept secret from her mother.
Jinxin didn't expect the princess to ask her so directly.
But she also understood that if she continued to hesitate, she might have returned to Qingyun Palace as the princess said.
The reason why she came out to look for the princess today was, as the princess said, because she didn't want the queen to spend too much energy on this matter.
After a brief struggle, Jinxin finally sighed.
She took a step forward, leaned close to Lu Xingwan's ear, and spoke softly, "Princess, there was news from Longsheng Palace today that His Majesty has named Ying Guiren as Ying Fei."
"Empress Ying?" When Lu Xingwan heard this, her eyes widened instantly and looked straight at Jinxin. She seemed to want to confirm whether Jinxin had said something wrong.
But no.
The trace of worry in Jinxin's eyes didn't seem fake.
Lu Xingwan knew clearly in her heart that according to her father's current special favor towards Lady Ying, she would probably be promoted to a higher rank soon. However, she never expected that Lady Ying would be promoted twice and be directly named Consort Ying.
After much thought, there is only one reason.
She stared at Jinxin in front of her and asked impatiently, "She is pregnant."
In this palace, there is a high probability that a pregnant woman will be promoted to a higher position.
In addition, my father is now so fond of this noble lady... Concubine Ying.
If Concubine Ying was pregnant, then her double promotion could be explained.
So Lu Xingwan could only think of this reason.
Unexpectedly, Jin Xin just shook her head, with a puzzled look on her face: "It is precisely because Concubine Ying was promoted twice even though she was not pregnant that people are puzzled."
If she was really pregnant, wouldn't she be directly canonized as a noble concubine?
I didn't expect that Your Majesty, at this age, would still have such emotions.
They thought that now that His Majesty had passed the age of knowing his destiny, it was time for him to settle down, but...
It really proves what Jinyu said, no man can be trusted.
Even His Majesty, whom they believed respected and doted on the Empress very much, was no more than this.
Everyone knows that His Majesty is obsessed with the former empress, but what if the former empress is really still alive?
If the eldest lady were really alive today, would His Majesty disband the harem for her?
Will Your Majesty favor her alone?
Not necessarily.
After sorting out her chaotic emotions, Jin Xin continued in a low voice: "According to the regulations, Concubine Ying can no longer live in Wenying Palace, so the eunuch Xiao Meng who is by His Majesty's side has moved Concubine Ying into Ruisi Palace and made her the main residence."
Lu Xingwan nodded thoughtfully.
Concubine Ying originally lived in Wenying Palace, and she knew it.
To be honest, the Wenying Palace is quite crowded.
But because Concubine Lin and Concubine Yue were unwilling to move, they were settled like this.
Just Ruisi Palace...
"Who originally lived in Ruisi Palace?"
Hearing Lu Xingwan's question, Jinxin quickly replied, "To answer the princess, originally only Ying Chang lived in Ruisi Palace, and she lived in the side hall."
Lu Xingwan nodded and said nothing more.
This Ying Changzai, she was deeply impressed.
She and Concubine Ying entered the palace together. Now that Concubine Ying has become a concubine and lives in the main hall of Ruisi Palace, I wonder what Chang Ying thinks in her heart.
The two continued to move forward, but their pace was much slower.
Wanwan was thinking about this matter in her heart, thinking about the possible impact it might bring.
After the last lesson, Jinxin would no longer follow Lu Xingwan, and naturally kept some distance from her.
As expected, after taking two steps, the princess stopped again: "What about mother? What's her reaction? Is she unhappy?"
"Your Majesty is doing fine as usual, and I don't see anything wrong."
Jinxin answered truthfully.
In the harem, the queen has experienced countless ups and downs, and has long learned to adapt to this kind of thing.
Besides, Jinxin and Jinyu both knew that the Queen actually had no feelings for His Majesty.
She does not have the kind of emotional dependence on His Majesty that other women have.
Rather than saying that Your Majesty is her husband who will accompany her for the rest of her life, it is better to say that Your Majesty is her king.
In the heart of the Queen, she regards His Majesty as the monarch and the superior, and treats him with awe.
Therefore, in this palace, no matter who Your Majesty favors, as long as it does not involve the people in Qingyun Palace and as long as it does not involve the princess's affairs, Your Majesty does not care.
"If anyone is unhappy, I'm afraid it's only us who serve the queen..."
Jinxin didn't finish her words.
She knew that she shouldn't talk about these things in front of the princess.
Her Majesty is always indifferent when it comes to His Majesty's affairs.
But those who serve the Empress always feel sorry for her.
