Chapter 187 Five-needle pine
The people who had been watching the fight at high positions since the morning also expressed their satisfaction.
Anyway, Concubine Yi is no longer the Concubine Yi who has the final say.
Lady Ying finally had the energy to hug her child. She couldn't tell what the third princess looked like now, but she had big eyes. She would definitely be pretty in the future.
Lady Ying looked at it for a while and sighed, "I am not lucky either."
The first miscarriage was not known whether it was a boy or a girl. This time it’s a girl, and I don’t know where the next one is.
"Master, don't say that. It's a great blessing for you to give birth to the third princess. Even if you give birth to a prince now, you can't be promoted to the ninth concubine all at once. If it's a princess, you can take her back in a few years when you have the status." Juxiang advised.
If he were a prince, there would definitely be people plotting against him, and he probably wouldn't be close to me even if I brought him back.
But as for the princess, it's easier to deal with. No one would go out of their way to plot against the princess.
"Look at Lu Baolin. She gave birth to a prince, but it was still Baolin. She is the one who cannot get ahead. As long as you give birth to a prince, you will be promoted. That's a good thing." Juxiang said.
"I entered the palace with Jing Xiuyuan. Look at her, how can I feel at ease?" Lady Ying sighed.
"Master, don't be discouraged. In time, you will be the same. Look at Concubine Jin. Isn't she just a princess? But when she entered the palace, she was given a high position. It can be seen that in the eyes of the emperor, princesses are also very noble."
Lady Ying sighed: "You are right, she entered the palace to serve as a ceremonial practitioner."
"So don't be discouraged now. There will be many new people entering the palace next year. By then, won't you, the ones who gave birth to princes and princesses, be the most powerful ones?" Juxiang said with a smile.
"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year, but I heard that Jing Xiuyuan's sister is also going to come in? The Shen family's appetite is really big. When the time comes, Jing Xiuyuan will also be troubled."
"Of course not. She is in favor now and is already feared. It will be difficult for her to take action on her own, so I'm afraid she will have to start with her sister. Unless her sister comes in and doesn't fight, I'm afraid trouble will be inevitable." Juxiang said.
"Well, my Li family is not as prominent as theirs, but it's not that bad either." Lady Ying sneered: "Over time, I'd like to see if Jing Xiuyuan can remain invincible forever."
Shen Chuliu, who was being missed by Miss Ying, was looking at herself in the mirror in Cuiyunxuan.
She touched her belly and looked around: "Has it grown bigger?"
"Yes, master. It's been more than four months. Naturally, he has to grow up." Zhemei laughed.
"It's really magical." Shen Chuliu felt both anticipation and novelty about pregnancy.
"This is the first time the master is pregnant. It's very new." Zhemei said.
"It's really new. There's a tiny baby in my belly. I think it will be very cute when it's born." Shen Chuliu touched her belly and said, "Do you think it's a boy or a girl? Don't say it against your will."
She knew that the servants would all say it was the prince.
It goes without saying that people in ancient times valued boys over girls.
"I think he is still a prince." Zhemei still felt that she should not go against her conscience.
"I can't explain it either, but based on my intuition, he's still the prince." Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu sighed: "Okay, you all think it's a prince, so we won't know until the baby is born, right?"
"You can tell it in five or six months, but I think it's better not to look at it," said Zhemei.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Well, no, I'm just curious. If it's a little princess, I'll dress her up in beautiful clothes when she's born. If it's a little prince, he'll be able to protect me when he grows up. They're both cute and I like them both."
The master and servants were chatting and laughing, and were very happy.
Yuanxiao came in to report: "Master, I just heard that Concubine Yi called the imperial physician again."
Shen Chuliu laughed: "She is not broad-minded enough. Sooner or later, she will be angry to death. She used to be so proud. Now that people are scheming against her, she can't stand it."
He said and shook his head.
"He said he had a severe cough." Yuanxiao said.
"Her cough has not been completely cured since last year, right?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Yes, I cough a lot when it's cold. It's getting hot today, so it's a little better. But whenever I feel unwell, I cough."
Zhemei whispered: "This is not a good idea."
If you cough too much, you may easily develop tuberculosis.
What's more, even if it wasn't tuberculosis, coughing was a very serious problem in ancient times.
Even in modern times, pneumonia is a serious disease, not to mention other lung problems, and the mortality rate is still high.
If Concubine Yi continues like this, I'm afraid her life span will really be shortened.
"From what I see, everyone in the palace is treating this girl from the Li family as a formidable enemy," Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu hummed: "Indeed, we should treat it as a formidable enemy. After all, we are of noble origin, right? However, everything depends on the emperor."
Empress Dowager Li's niece definitely did not come in to be cannon fodder.
"No matter what, this Miss Li must be more scheming than Concubine Feng. The master should also be careful." Chi Su said.
"Well, I feel relieved with you around." Shen Chuliu said with a smile: "No matter what kind of girl you are, it is impossible for her to have a high position immediately after entering the palace. Take your time and see. She is said to be the niece of the Empress Dowager Li, but who in the palace really buys into it?"
Sometimes, if you are born too well, you will face more hardships.
"Master, the reward from Taiji Palace has arrived." Yuanxiao came in again.
Shen Chuliu held Zhemei's hand and went out to receive the reward.
What was delivered were two pomegranate plants, the kind of ornamental pomegranates planted in large pots.
The flowers are in full bloom, looking bright red and very beautiful.
"Wow, it's really beautiful, put it there." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Yuanxiao took the eunuchs and placed the pomegranate in the main hall.
"Thank you very much. Are you sending it only to me, or are you sending it to other places as well?" Shen Chuliu asked.
The eunuch of Taiji Palace smiled and said, "This morning, both the Empress and the Empress Dowager have flowers. Down below, Concubine Yi has a pot of orchids, and you have two pots of pomegranates. It is said that Concubine Ning Chongyi has five-needle pine, Concubine Li Chongrong has camellia, and Su Baolin also has orchids."
"Thank you, eunuchs. Come to the Lantern Festival and bring them something cold to drink. Remember to give them silver for tea." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The Layue who came to Taiji Palace was not the usual one. The leading eunuch hurriedly thanked Empress Jing Xiuyuan and followed Yuanxiao to drink sour plum soup.
There isn't much else in summer, but this is the most.
Shen Chuliu looked at the pomegranate flowers and found them really pretty. She quite liked them.
"Ning Chongyi likes five-needle pine?" Shen Chuliu asked as he picked a flower.
"To answer your question, Empress Ning Chongyi has always liked pine, cypress, bamboo and orchids." Zizhu said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Although plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are all said to be the four gentlemen, the emperor gave Ning Chongyi five-needle pine and gave Concubine Yi orchids."
"Orchids symbolize purity, but since the emperor gave it to me personally, why do I feel like it's going to become a household name?"
It’s better to use the five-needle pine.
