The noble ladies who heard what Wushuang said tried hard not to glare at the imperial concubine.
They were looking forward to marrying General Huo, but she actually talked about sending beauties to General Huo and asking him to take a concubine!
They were looking forward to marrying a man with a clean backyard, but the imperial concubine actually wanted to ruin it. How could they not be resentful?
How rare is it to find a man with a clean backyard and no concubines?
Even if he had married several wives before, so what? Anyway, his backyard is clean now, and they don’t have to worry about concubines when they marry in, and they don’t need to continue fighting with concubines.
The most important thing is that there are no concubines or illegitimate sons and daughters to bother you.
Even Huo Yuanzhou's ex-wives did not give birth to children for him. They did not have to face step-sons and step-daughters. The children they gave birth to were the real eldest sons and daughters.
So Wushuang proposed to send beauties and concubines to Huo Yuanzhou, which made the noble ladies extremely dissatisfied.
Wushuang felt the gazes of several noble ladies of distinguished status directed at her, so she covered her face with a fan and smiled.
Well, although she just said that she didn’t think about attracting the attention of the ladies when she sent the beauty to Huo Yuanzhou, the result is not bad now?
The noble ladies hope to marry Huo Yuanzhou, and they don't want to face Huo Yuanzhou's concubines before and after marriage. So they should all be united in guarding against other women getting there first, right?
So Huo Yuanzhou should be free from any "danger" for a while?
What she had just said about sending a beauty to Huo Yuanzhou as a concubine was just to test his thoughts.
Now she is very satisfied with the result.
She wants this man.
Wushuang looked at Huo Yuanzhou, who was surrounded by others and toasted by them, with a smile on her face. Her red lips behind the round fan outlined a smile of determination.
…
Wushuang slept comfortably the day after the banquet.
Although she was an imperial concubine who enjoyed the emperor's undiminished favor, Yan Mingting did not spend many nights in her palace.
After all, he has to go to the Queen's Qihuang Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the month. Yan Mingting does not enter the harem most of the time, and the remaining time must be divided among other concubines in the harem.
There are still many concubines in Yan Mingting's harem, so it is considered a lot for Wushuang to get three or four days a month.
Wushuang had no intention of sleeping with Yan Mingting.
She is already in her forties, and although she doesn't look very old, she is not very satisfied with Yan Mingting.
When looking for a partner, it is better to choose someone who is young and strong.
Wushuang yawned and got up.
"My queen, are you awake?" Cuizhu saw her master wake up and hurried forward to help her up, then gently wiped her face.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty said that Madam He will enter the palace today." Cuizhu said as she wiped Wushuang's face, "I have already asked someone to clean up the side hall. Madam He can move in directly after she enters the palace."
"Well, I am very confident in Cuizhu's work." Wushuang said calmly.
Cuizhu smiled when she received the praise from her master. "These are what a slave should do. I hope I have lived up to your expectations."
Wushuang nodded, and after washing up, he ate breakfast and said, "What are we going to do today?"
I feel that life in the palace is quite decadent.
Palace fighting?
How else can she fight?
She has already secured the position of imperial concubine by relying on her family background. As long as Yan Mingting has not really taken action against the He family, her position will not be shaken in any way.
As for fighting with the Queen?
What's there to fight about?
There was no way she could defeat Zhao Xuanyi and take the throne herself.
Wushuang knew very clearly that no matter what Zhao Xuanyi did, Yan Mingting would never let her, a girl from the He family, become the queen.
Therefore, she had no need to engage in palace fighting and had no such idea.
"Empress, why don't we go to Shuxiangzhai to listen to some music?" Cuizhu said while combing Wushuang's hair.
"Are there any new songs from Shuxiangzhai recently?" Wushuang was a little curious.
"Shouldn't there be any?"
"Then I won't go." Wushuang said lazily, "It's just the same few songs over and over again. I'm tired of them."
"By the way, Madam, I heard that Concubine Ye from Yunjing Palace is pregnant."
"Oh?" Wushuang perked up after hearing that. "Miss Ye is pregnant? How many months?"
"Well... since it was revealed, she should be three months pregnant, right?" Wushuang said with a smile.
The concubines in the palace would generally wait until three months into their pregnancy to announce the news of their pregnancy. One reason was to ensure that the fetus was in a stable position and not be miscarried by others; the other reason was that according to legend, it would be a blessing to tell others after three months.
Wushuang sometimes admires me. Do you really think that you can't have an abortion after three months?
If someone wants to make you have a miscarriage, who cares how many months you are pregnant?
Even if you are about to give birth, or even during delivery, someone can find an opportunity to harm you.
Wushuang looked at his nails, "What's the Queen's reaction?"
Wushuang was not in a hurry.
The original owner might be jealous and angry after knowing that Yan Mingting's concubine was pregnant, but she would not.
She didn't care about Yan Mingting, and it didn't matter to her how many children he had.
But what does the Queen Zhao Xuanyi think?
The legendary abortion expert, is she actually willing to let Miss Ye get pregnant and give birth to a child?
"The Queen is pregnant with the prince born to Concubine Zhao. She should be unhappy about other concubines giving birth to children, right?" Wushuang said with a smile.
Cuizhu didn't say anything this time. Since her master had said such words, she didn't dare to say them casually.
"I heard that after Qihuang Palace got the news about Yunjing Palace, it exchanged for a batch of porcelain." Cuizhu changed the subject for her master.
"Oh? Queen Zhao smashed things again?" Wushuang became interested when he heard the news.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Queen doesn't know how to be frugal at all. Smashing porcelain like this every day, what a waste!"
You know, the porcelains in the palace are all of the best quality. Isn't it a waste to smash them like this every day?
"The Empress is really something. She is so old, but how come she doesn't know what 'calm and composed' means?" Wushuang said gloatingly.
The green bamboo is silent.
The master was now making fun of the queen. In fact, when he knew that Concubine Zhao was pregnant and gave birth to a prince, he also smashed a lot of things.
Wushuang didn't remember that the original owner had smashed a lot of porcelain before. Anyway, it was natural for her to laugh at Zhao Xuanyi now.
"Forget it, I'm not going anywhere today. You guys find something for me." Wushuang thought about it and felt that the weather was good today, which was very suitable for skin care.
"Cuizhu, call Lin Xu over. I feel my body is stiff. Let her give me a massage." Wushuang said.
Lin Xu is the best masseur among her subordinates. She is a female doctor who once learned the massage and bone-setting techniques from a doctor.
Yes, Lin Xu was the female doctor in her palace.
She spends most of her time in the Female Medical Department of the Imperial Hospital, and only comes here when Wushuang has something to do.
But Lin Xu is indeed Wushuang's person, and is her confidant whom she brought into the palace.
"Okay, master. I'll send someone to invite Lin Xu over right away." Cuizhu agreed after combing Wushuang's hair.
