Chapter 213 Su Xin's Promotion
"Xin'er, don't cry. We need to make some plans right now."
Aunt Liu stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from Su Xin's eyes. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, this was not the time to cry together.
"Auntie, is there any other way? I'm pregnant before I even go to bed with you. Even if I go to bed with you tonight, the baby's birth month won't be right!"
Su Xin climbed up from the bed. She hated those three people so much at this moment, and also hated why God played such a trick on her.
Why am I so unlucky that I won the prize in one try?
"Xin'er, you're right. This baby doesn't come in the right month, so we can't keep it. But we have to maximize the value of this baby!"
Aunt Liu looked at Su Xin with a serious expression.
"What does Auntie mean?" Su Xin was also stunned at this time, staring blankly at Auntie Liu's expression.
"Is there anyone in this palace that you hate?" Aunt Liu suddenly said this before Su Xin could catch up.
Afterwards, Aunt Liu whispered her plan into Su Xin's ear.
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, Su Xin's face immediately showed joy, and all her previous worries were swept away.
Now, she feels that this child came at the right time.
“Humph, Su Yue is missing at this time, she is lucky.”
Su Xin looked at the two medicine packets handed over by her aunt with a fierce look on her face.
Soon after Su Xin returned to the palace, she was favored that night because of Aunt Liu's advice and the addition of medicine. Su Xin looked at the emperor and seemed to have no doubts at all.
In the following days, Su Xin was favored by the emperor every night, which caused many beauties in the harem to complain.
Even Concubine Hui and the others seemed to be slightly displeased.
"This Concubine Yi is too outrageous. The Queen is in confinement and we are exempted from paying respects every day.
But in this palace, apart from the Queen, you and Concubine Yu are the most senior. How could she, a mere concubine, not even come here? ”
At Concubine Hui's place, a fair-skinned woman in her twenties was sitting below Concubine Hui and complaining.
She was deeply unhappy about the fact that the Emperor favored Concubine Yi.
"Qipin, what you said does make some sense, but Yipin is in the prime of her life and she is a young girl who has just entered the palace. It is normal for her to be ignorant."
Concubine Hui fiddled with the delicate armor on her hand, her tone sounding as if she didn't care much.
"It is only because you, Concubine Hui, are so magnanimous and kindhearted that you can tolerate such an unruly person."
Concubine Qi felt annoyed when she saw that Concubine Hui did not take her deliberately provocative words seriously.
At this time, Huifei's maid Zhixia suddenly walked in from outside and whispered something to Huifei.
"I heard that many flowers have bloomed in the imperial garden of Concubine Qi. If you really find it boring, go and have a look. I am a little tired now, so please leave."
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she no longer looked at Concubine Qi, but stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Concubine Qi was already unhappy, and seeing Concubine Hui's nonchalant attitude, she pouted and walked out the door.
Just as she was about to go back, she thought of what Concubine Hui had just said, looked up at the extremely good weather, and walked towards the Imperial Garden with her maid.
At this time in the Imperial Garden, Su Xin was playing the piano in the pavilion to relieve his boredom.
In the past few days, although the plan was proceeding as scheduled, one part of it was at a standstill, which was the plan on how to frame Concubine Hui.
If she wanted to frame Concubine Hui, there had to be a dispute or conflict, so she deliberately didn't go to Concubine Hui. In order not to be caught, she didn't even go to Concubine Yu.
She was just waiting for Concubine Hui to get angry and summon her to be punished, but after such a long time, Concubine Hui had not even said a word, let alone summon her.
Thinking of this, Su Xin secretly made up her mind that when the time came, she would go even if Concubine Hui did not announce it.
Su Xin glanced at the saffron she carried with her every day, and clearly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen over the past few days.
"Hey, I was wondering who was playing the piano and flirting in broad daylight, it turns out to be you."
A hostile voice sounded. Su Xinqin paused and then looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a woman not far away from me, dressed in the clothes of a concubine, looking at me with contempt.
"Who are you?" Su Xin had only been in the palace for a short time, so naturally she didn't know Concubine Qi. So with a look of doubt on her face, she stopped playing and looked at Concubine Qi.
"My master is Concubine Qi." A girl dressed like a palace maid next to Concubine Qi answered Su Xin loudly.
"Oh." Su Xin heard that the hostile woman in front of her was just a concubine of the same rank as herself, so she ignored her and lowered her head to continue playing.
"Oh?" Concubine Qi was already unhappy because Su Xin had received a reward and had to enjoy her favor every night. Now that Su Xin didn't take her seriously in front of her, she was furious and ran straight to the pavilion.
With a "pop" sound, Concubine Qi's hand pressed directly on the guqin, and Su Xin's guqin sound was completely cut off.
"If you don't greet me when you see me, then that's it?" Concubine Qi stared at Su Xin with an unfriendly look.
"You and I are both concubines, why should I bow to you?"
Seeing that the strings of her zither were pressed, Su Xin took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her fingers without even looking at Concubine Qi.
"Why don't you do the ceremony? I entered the palace earlier and was made a concubine earlier than you, so I am older. Moreover, I was born into a noble family, the daughter of the imperial tutor.
What about you? You are just a lowly servant who relied on your looks to get to the top. Why don’t you show respect to me? ”
When Concubine Qi heard Su Xin's words, she jumped up in anger.
"You..." Su Xin was about to retort when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright yellow color beside the bamboo forest behind Concubine Qi. Her eyes turned and she had an idea.
Su Xin seemed to move her body unintentionally until the people behind Concubine Qi could no longer see her expression.
Then, Su Xin looked at Concubine Qi with an extremely provocative look.
He opened his lips slightly and uttered silently the three words "You deserve it".
Concubine Qi had never been provoked in such a face-to-face manner. She was already angry and slapped the man directly.
"Ah" Su Xin cried out softly and fell sideways on the ground. However, she was still careful and did not let herself fall too hard. It just looked like the slap was very serious.
"You little bitch, why are you pretending!" Concubine Qi was stunned, and then started cursing. She just slapped him to vent her anger.
But she still understood the situation. Concubine Yi was currently in the limelight, so she naturally didn't dare to use too much force. But she didn't expect that Concubine Yi would fall down like this.
Su Xin, who had been sharp-tongued just now, now touched her beaten cheek, tears in her eyes, and said nothing, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"You bitch, you're still pretending, you're still pretending..." Seeing Su Xin like this, Concubine Qi was so angry that she continued to curse.
"How dare you! Is this how you get along with others in the harem?"
A majestic voice sounded from behind Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was startled, then quickly turned around and knelt down, her eyes full of horror.
Your Majesty, why are you here?
And from an invisible angle, Su Xin's face showed a triumphant smile.
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with Concubine Qi. It was my playing that disturbed her mood."
Su Xin didn't wait for Concubine Qi to speak and took the blame on herself.
"Yes, it was the sound of the piano that disturbed my thoughts, so I did the wrong thing." Concubine Qi was delighted to hear this and quickly agreed.
"Do you think I didn't see everything?"
The emperor stepped forward and stretched out his right arm to Su Xin. Su Xin looked up and met the emperor's eyes. He understood what he meant, then he raised his right hand and placed it on the emperor's arm to use the force to stand up.
When Concubine Qi saw what the two were doing, she felt sad. She had been in the palace for so long, but had never been treated like this.
"Qipin, you think that although Yipin is a concubine of the same rank as you, she still has to pay respect to you because of her seniority and birth, right?"
The emperor's words made Su Xin stunned. It seemed that the emperor was already there, so he should have heard what she said.
Thinking of this, Su Xin felt nervous.
"In reply to your Majesty, this is not what I meant."
When Concubine Qi heard the emperor's words, she was so frightened that she began to tremble all over. She knew that the emperor hated people who showed off their seniority the most.
"Eunuch Zhu, from today on, Concubine Yi is Concubine Yi. Regardless of her background, you, Concubine Qi, must bow to Concubine Yi whenever you see her in the future?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he ignored Concubine Qi and walked out of the pavilion with Su Xin.
Concubine Qi looked at the emperor who was leaving and collapsed on the ground in despair.
Not only Concubine Qi, but also Su Xin was shocked. It had only been seven days since she was conferred the title of concubine, and today she was the consort?
Even Su Xin began to become curious about what story this face had with the emperor.
The news that Concubine Yi was promoted to imperial concubine spread quickly to the three palaces and six courtyards like a spring breeze.
