Chapter 51 This is the Emperor's Order
In Roufang Palace.
Concubine Hui called the palace maid and said, "Send over the screen with the inscription of fertility and good fortune that was sent by the family last year, as well as the auspicious two-color agate ornament with two fishes."
The maid looked reluctant, "Your Majesty, these two things have such good meanings, and they also carry the expectations and blessings of your mother's family. Do you really want to give them to her?"
Concubine Hui leaned back on the couch, enjoying the massage from the palace maids, squinting her eyes slightly, "This is the emperor's first heir. The emperor and the empress dowager both value him very much. If we don't give him something good, they will definitely give him something to talk about. Besides, I know my belly well. I haven't been pregnant for so many years, let alone in the future."
"My queen, even that skinny Concubine Zhao can get pregnant, why can't you?"
Concubine Hui sighed, "It's fate and time. I've seen through it a long time ago. The heir of the Darong Kingdom needs not only a body, but also luck. I just don't have that luck. Okay, go quickly. By the way, take a look at what the Queen and Concubine Jin have sent, and come back to tell me."
If we were to say who is the most impatient, it would definitely be these two.
One is cunning and treacherous, the other is vicious.
She sincerely hoped that Concubine Zhao could hold on. After all, the harem had been so lifeless that something new needed to happen to liven it up.
Also, she didn't want any new people to enter. The harem was too crowded. If too many people came, there would be more fights. Who knew if there would be a second person like Jin Weige climbing up? Her life would not be easy then.
Bai Wutong, on the other hand, doesn't look like a very ambitious person.
But people will change, especially in this big melting pot of the harem.
I just hope she can become a little later.
The palace maid took the things and went there reluctantly.
When we got there, we found that all the important figures in the palace had sent people, and they all brought us nice gifts, which made us jealous.
A familiar maid came over and whispered, "This Zhaopin is really lucky to be pregnant with a dragon heir. Look at these things."
Huifei's palace maids didn't say anything. The things were good, but not necessarily really good.
Xiao Ningzi opened the palace door and bowed to everyone, "Everyone, just put your things here. The emperor has ordered that they can only be sent in after the Imperial Hospital and the Women's Hospital have checked them together. The heir to the throne is the most important thing, I hope you can understand."
"Humph, are you saying that the Queen treated Concubine Zhao badly?"
Xiao Ningzi explained with a smile, "Of course not, it's just that this is the emperor's order."
Now everyone lost their temper and could only put the things into the yard first. They stretched their necks to look inside, but unfortunately they saw nothing.
Bai Wutong sat in front of the window, quietly watching their backs as they left.
Chan'er beside her helped her wipe her white and tender fingers, "Madam, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just looking at their appearance, their appearance reflects their heart, and some of them are not good."
Chan'er deeply agreed with this. There was no such thing as a purely kind person in the harem. Even if there was, they would have died at the hands of others long ago.
Even her queen, who seemed to be ignorant of the ways of the world, had her own scheming and calculations.
On the way back, the palace servants passed by Tianxiang Garden.
The door was closed and there was complete silence.
Wen Chuyun sat in the main hall, quietly looking at the pot of withered flowers.
"Empress, you have been sitting all night, please get some rest." Cuiwei next to her felt extremely distressed. Her own queen was the one who should have been pregnant, but who would have thought that Bai Wutong would be born first.
Wen Chuyun opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "I have always thought that the emperor has not favored Bai Wutong yet. Although I am worried, I am also lucky. I just think that Bai Wutong will die soon, and even if the emperor is interested in her, he will not be able to favor her. But who would have thought that he has already favored her."
Her originally dead face gradually became ferocious. She suddenly raised her hand and threw the teacup to the ground. "Why did it have to be her? Why didn't she die? Why is she pregnant?"
The resentment that had been pent up all night finally erupted.
She picked up everything she could see and smashed them all on the ground. "Why her? Shouldn't she have died long ago? Even if she wasn't dead, she should have been too weak to get out of bed!"
From the first moment she saw Bai Wutong, she felt a sense of crisis.
Such a unique woman might make the emperor look at her with higher regard.
So I took precautionary measures and just handed her the purse and let her die. Later we even learned that she met the emperor and presented him with cloth and clothes.
Unexpectedly, all my plans came to nothing and my worries finally came true.
Cuiwei was terrified and hurried forward to stop him, "Hey, Madam, please don't smash it. This is the heir that the emperor has waited so long for. If anyone dares to show dissatisfaction, they will all rush forward to give gifts. If people know that you dare to be dissatisfied, you will definitely be criticized."
Wen Chuyun didn't care and smashed everything at hand. Then he sat down breathlessly and said as if to comfort himself, "I am the most beautiful woman in the capital. What can Bai Wutong compare with me? And she wore a purse. Even if she didn't wear it later, her body would be in trouble. The child will definitely not be saved. Cuiwei, take out the good things and send them to her."
Cuiwei nodded in agreement and went to prepare immediately.
After everything was ready, she looked around with sharp eyes, "Listen to me, everything that happened here today must not be spread out. Your Majesty has never smashed anything, and she is very happy that Concubine Zhao is pregnant. Do you understand?"
The other palace servants nodded, "Understood."
"It's good to know. Otherwise, no one would want something that betrays its master." Cuiwei pointed out a few people, "You all come with me. Be careful not to bump into anything. These are all good things."
Wave after wave of people sent good things.
The area outside Zhaochun Palace was almost full.
There was only one person who had not been sent here, and that was the former Concubine Rong, now Concubine Jin.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed with lifeless eyes.
Xiyue, who was standing beside her, had red eyes. "My lady, please don't be sad."
Jin Weige did not respond, his mind was full of every little detail of his time with Jiayue.
Although Jiayue is her servant, in her heart, she is as important as a family member.
Now that she died in front of him, how could Jin Weige bear such a blow. I had a high fever all night yesterday and didn't feel better until this morning.
Xiyue bit her lip and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, you must cheer up. What's the point of Concubine Zhao getting pregnant? She can't keep it. Don't forget that there is a queen above her and so many concubines below her. Who would be willing to watch her give birth to the first heir to the throne?"
"Don't think that they are sending gifts one by one now. Who knows how many porcelains in the palace have been smashed. They just don't dare to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for them. If they go there now, they will definitely be left with nothing."
Seeing that Jin Weige still had no reaction, Xiyue knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, "My queen, you are different from Concubine Zhao. Concubine Zhao is nothing. Her mother is just a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and she has no real power. But you are different. As long as the Jin family does not fall, you will never fall. As long as the eldest young master makes achievements, you will be able to return to the position of imperial concubine sooner or later, and the emperor will definitely come to favor you."
Jin Weige slowly turned her head to look at her, her originally dead eyes gradually filled with hatred, "You are right, as long as the Jin family does not fall, I will not fall. I must avenge Jiayue! My brother has just returned to Beijing to report on his work, so I will send him a message and ask him to find a reason to come in and see me."
