Although Shufei held a high position as a concubine, she believed that it would be better to leave the palace and live freely than to stay in the palace without freedom for the rest of her life.
You can still enjoy the same treatment as in the palace. There is nothing wrong with it except that you can't get married again in the future.
But why should she care whether she can get married or not? She has money, status, and freedom. Isn't this better than being a widow in the palace?
In other words, Concubine Qi had to stay in the palace because she gave birth to Princess Yuanjia for the emperor, otherwise everyone would have persuaded her to leave the palace.
When she heard the emperor say he wanted to disband the harem, she almost laughed out loud in her dreams at night.
She was originally planning to die of old age in the palace, but unexpectedly she was able to wait for such a good thing. As soon as the imperial edict came out, she immediately came to Ye Jinyun to express her opinion.
In the end, the ones who stayed in the palace were Lin Qingtang, who was appointed by Mo Qiyuan as a female official to protect Ye Jinyun and her son, as well as Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing. There were also two concubines who did not want to leave the palace. As for why they did not want to leave the palace, they did not say, and Ye Jinyun was too lazy to ask.
Since you have to stay in the palace, you should live a peaceful life. If you have any inappropriate thoughts or do something wrong, Mo Qiyuan will still send you out of the palace.
As for Concubine Jing, Ye Jinyun didn't know what she was thinking. Concubine Qi didn't have to leave the palace because she was Princess Yuanjia's biological mother, but Ye Jinyun didn't know why Concubine Jing was unwilling to leave.
So that night she asked Mo Qiyuan about Concubine Jing.
Mo Qiyuan then told her that when he was still a prince, he accidentally saved Concubine Jing's life, and since then she has had some girlish thoughts about him.
Later, when she learned that he had ascended the throne and was about to choose a concubine, she insisted on entering the palace and asked her grandfather, the old Grand Tutor, to meet the emperor to express her intention.
Although Mo Qiyuan had no intention of her, he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was still unstable, so she could not directly offend him. Anyway, the selection of concubines was almost the same, so she agreed to choose her into the harem.
Concubine Jing also knew that she was not favored by Mo Qiyuan, so she always followed the principle of keeping a low profile and protecting herself. She only wanted to be virtuous and live in harmony with the world so that she could stay with Mo Qiyuan for a long time.
For this reason, Mo Qiyuan promoted her position all the way because she was so sensible, and let her sit in her current position.
But after hearing this, Ye Jinyun thought, can Concubine Jing really be so calm?
Are there really women in this world who are willing to watch the man they love fall in love with another woman? And they have to watch them in harmony every day, while they can only feel sad.
Perhaps in the past, when Mo Qiyuan had not been truly interested in any concubine, Concubine Jing might not have really cared about it, but that is not necessarily the case now.
…
After a few days, it was time for the concubines to leave the palace.
In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ye Jinyun, with her bulging belly, and Lin Qingtang were saying goodbye to Yu Wan'er. She was one of those concubines who had never served in the emperor's bed, and could get married after leaving the palace.
Ye Jinyun even asked Mo Qiyuan to draft the decree of marriage, and someone would announce it after she returned to her mother's home.
She and Lu Zhan finally made it. On the wedding day, Ye Jinyun said that she and Lin Qingtang would also attend the wedding.
Yu Wan'er nodded in agreement, and asked Ye Jinyun to take good care of herself in the palace. She would visit them and the children from time to time. Mo Qiyuan had given her and Lin Qingtang special privileges, allowing them to enter and leave the palace freely.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi were also saying goodbye to Concubine Shu. The three of them entered the palace at the same time and were somewhat familiar with each other.
Concubine Shu looked at the two people who were going to stay in the palace and sighed in her heart. She knew very well why both of them stayed.
"Sisters, after we part today, we may never see each other again. I have something to say to you."
She paused and said, "Some things are destined to happen, but if they are not, don't force them. Don't let your obsession hurt you, or you will end up with nothing."
Upon hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment. Concubine Qi was fine. She was stunned for a moment and then nodded to Concubine Shu to indicate that she had taken note of it. However, Concubine Jing's face looked a little unnatural. Her eyes flashed and she gave Concubine Shu a forced smile.
Shufei looked at the two people's reactions and couldn't help shaking her head in her heart.
But in the end, he didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he went to Ye Jinyun and bowed to her for the last time, then got on the carriage and waited to leave the palace.
The concubines behind followed suit and bid farewell to Ye Jinyun one by one before leaving the palace.
…
Time flies
In a blink of an eye, Ye Jinyun was already eight months pregnant. She was carrying twins this time, and her belly was much bigger than when she was pregnant with her first child. She couldn't see her feet when she stood up. She was like a clumsy panda every day. Even her shoes had to be put on by Qing'er, not to mention other things.
Fortunately, there are only a few concubines in the palace now, and there are only a few things for her to worry about, so her life is still quite comfortable.
Look, she is now in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace, basking in the spring sunshine while busy with her hands.
"Little Chicken"
"bump!"
"Nine Articles"
"Bang!"
Ye Jinyun pushed away the three nine-card cards in her hand, picked up the card that Xiao Quanzi had played, and went to draw cards again. Her eyes lit up instantly.
"Qin Yi Sui Gang Shang Hua Zi Draw! I won!"
"ah!!!"
The other three people at the table suddenly wailed, wondering how the Queen had won again.
Lin Qingtang took out the last silver from his pocket and placed it on the table, then waved his hands repeatedly with a look of horror on his face.
"No more, no more. I won't dare play mahjong with a pregnant woman anymore. I've lost like a Muggle."
Ye Jinyun took all the chips on the table in front of him, including silver, gold melon seeds and some playing cards.
The silver and gold melon seeds were of course Lin Qingtang's, as she was rich. The playing cards, on the other hand, belonged to the servants of Fengyi Palace, representing how many points they had lost.
