Chapter 30: Just now, someone is pregnant
Just after the greetings were over, the man fell to the ground without any warning.
"Young Master!"
The concubines avoided him and stayed away from him, mainly because the fall was so strange, without any signs. Especially since someone said, "Is he sick?"
The hall was instantly in chaos.
Only the maidservants around her protected her closely.
"What happened?" Concubine Wan took a look from a distance and asked lazily.
The concubine who was nearby said, "Your Majesty, she was fine just now, but suddenly she fainted."
"First, carry the person into the side hall and ask the imperial physician to come." The queen said weakly.
Wen Wanyu glanced at the Queen, her eyes filled with weariness. It was no wonder the Queen was tired; she had to manage everything, even the fainting concubines. She wasn't the Queen at all; she was clearly the mother of these concubines.
The imperial physician came and one of the concubines said, "Imperial physician, please go and take a look. Is this person infected with any disease?"
The queen gave the concubine a look and she immediately stopped talking.
The imperial physician smiled awkwardly and took the pulse.
Soon, the imperial physician stood up with a happy look on his face:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. I'm fine. You're pregnant! It's just a small month, so it's not very noticeable yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, an extremely strange atmosphere took place in the hall.
Another concubine is pregnant.
The Queen spoke first: "Good news."
"Qiu Wen, go to Chengqian Palace in person to announce the good news."
"yes."
"In that case, let's all go." said the Queen.
Everyone left with their own thoughts.
Outside Fengyi Palace
Concubine Wan and Concubine Xu were walking together. It was obvious that Concubine Wan was in a bad mood, probably because another concubine was pregnant.
Concubine Wan asked, "Did the Emperor visit you yesterday? What did he say?"
"Oh, right." Concubine Wan paused and looked at her. "I heard that you and Concubine Wen had some friction in Chengqian Palace. Why didn't you tell me?"
Concubine Wan was deeply displeased with Concubine Xu's silence about yesterday's events, even deliberately concealing them from her. Things were no longer the same as they used to be. The Emperor's favor towards her had diminished considerably. Concubine Xu's careless actions would inevitably implicate her.
Concubine Xu replied respectfully, "I thought it was no big deal, so I didn't tell my sister."
"The Emperor only asked me about what happened yesterday. He didn't say anything else."
"Yeah." Concubine Wan's eyes moved slightly: "You too. Why target a little beauty? Besides, compared to the princess personally appointed by the late emperor, my concubine's sister can't even be ranked."
At least now, in Concubine Wan's heart, Wen Wanyu is far inferior to Jin Fangyi and Concubine Yang.
But Concubine Xu disagreed. She said, "Sister, among the new brides, Concubine Wen is the one who sleeps with the bride the most. Concubine Yang doesn't fight for it, and Jin Fangyi just holds the position in vain."
Furthermore, when Yu Meiren nearly had a miscarriage, all the evidence pointed to Wen Wanyu, yet she still managed to escape unscathed. Furthermore, she made a shocking statement, saying that whoever questions must provide evidence.
Concubine Wan looked at Concubine Xu as if she were a fool. She was also shocked by her stupidity, which is why she said something she didn't think right. "You have been in the palace for so many years. You are really stupid. Do you really think that Concubine Yu's miscarriage was caused by Jin Fangyi? So what if she slept with me many times? An Xiuyi was not very favored in the past, but now she is still defeated by me."
He shook his head and didn't wait for her to move forward.
Concubine Xu was stunned. All the words in her heart were stuck in her throat.
It's not Jin Fangyi, it's not Wen Meiren, it can only be...
Concubine Xu widened her eyes. She was such a good actress. She was the one who escaped unscathed.
Since entering the palace, she has been unknown and low-key. It turns out that she was waiting to be framed.
Concubine Xu caught up with Concubine Wan and said, "I am stupid. Thank you for your advice, sister."
Concubine Wan glanced at her and said, "Be smarter in the future."
"yes."
"The poppy is pregnant, and just now the woman is pregnant."
Concubine Wan changed the subject so quickly that Concubine Xu was puzzled.
"This year, don't cause any more trouble. Behave yourself and please the Emperor. Maybe you can even support a prince or princess."
According to Yu Meiren, a consort of the same rank, she cannot raise children herself. When the time comes, the emperor will choose a concubine of a higher rank who has no children.
Concubine Wan looked around and saw Concubine Hui, Concubine Xu, and An Xiuyi as possibilities. Concubine Hui and she were just so-so, while she and An Xiuyi were incompatible. Only Concubine Xu was the best choice.
Concubine Xu was delighted. "Sister, you are so thoughtful. Thank you for your advice. I will definitely live up to your kindness."
Concubine Wan curled her lips and smiled. But each had his own agenda.
After walking a few steps, she ran into Lady Yang. Concubine Wan frowned, and Lady Yang bowed and greeted, "Your Majesty, Lady Wan, pays your respects."
Concubine Wan was too lazy to pay attention to her and just glanced at her: "Where are you going?"
"I am preparing to return to the palace."
Concubine Wan waved her hand, but she noticed the sachet hidden in her sleeve and immediately became serious: "What are you hiding?"
Concubine Yang was startled and put her hands behind her back: "Your Majesty, you have seen it wrong."
Concubine Wan smiled with gritted teeth and asked the painted fan beside her to take it.
The painted fan was quite respectful and asked her to take it out on her own initiative.
Concubine Yang refused and said with a painted fan: "I'm sorry, Miss Yang." Then he asked two palace maids to hold Concubine Yang down and grab her.
It is a sachet, a bright yellow sachet with a flying dragon and gold thread.
It is obvious at first glance that it is for the emperor.
Concubine Wan clenched her fists and said coldly, "When you were in the mansion before, you liked making these things. Do you think the emperor would like them? Don't waste your time. You are just a concubine's daughter, who do you think you are?"
The voice was so loud that even Concubine Xu was startled.
Concubine Xu pulled Concubine Wan's sleeve and said, "Sister..." This was happening outside, and if the commotion got too big, it wouldn't be good for her.
Concubine Wan took a deep breath and said with disgust, "Get out of here!"
After saying that, he left with his men in a mighty manner.
Lady Yang lowered her head, looking embarrassed, but in fact, in the dark where no one could see, she curled her lips calmly.
Concubine Wan was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery or needlework. It can be said that she knew nothing.
It just so happens that she is proficient in everything.
From childhood to adulthood, Concubine Wan would laugh at her embroidery, paintings or calligraphy for a long time whenever she saw them.
They simply brought out her status as a legitimate daughter and then her status as a concubine's daughter, devaluing her to nothing.
She can only speak from the perspective of a concubine's daughter, which just shows Concubine Wan's inferiority complex.
After all these years, it's still the same.
Hua Shan asked, "My Lady, do you want to keep this sachet too?"
Concubine Wan said, "Keep it." Concubine Wan had a little habit of saving the sachets she collected. If she liked one, she would give it away in her name. If she didn't like one, she would save it and wait until one day to burn it all.
