Chapter 211: Not in a good place
The previous Concubine Yi was not, the later Concubine Ning Chongyi was not, the later Concubine Yi Chongyuan was not, Shen Chuliu and Li Chongrong were not. Su Baolin was not either.
Li Chongrong also looked constipated. What was that like? Han Baolin seemed to not understand and was still timid...
When the queen came out, there was an eerie silence in the palace for a moment.
Everyone greeted them, and the queen waved her hand: "Please sit down."
After sitting down, Han Baolin hurriedly stood up. It was her first time to sleep with him, so she wanted to perform the ceremony with great ceremony.
After the ceremony, the queen gave some words of encouragement and some rewards, and that was it.
Sitting down again, Concubine Feng smiled and said, "I thought it was Concubine Zhen who slept with me yesterday. The emperor favors Concubine Zhen and gave her the position of Concubine Zhen from the beginning. This is better than the sisters who entered the palace before. I didn't expect that it was Han Baolin who slept with me."
"This Han Baolin is different. How could the emperor know his name during the selection of concubines?" Lady Ying said with a smile.
"That's right. This is unique." Wen Xiaoyi said with a smile: "In time, Han Baolin will surely rise to prominence."
Ning Chongyi smiled and said, "Everyone is talking about Han Baolin, but I think Shen Yunu can't be underestimated in the future. They are sisters. How can Shen Yunu be worse than Jing Xiuyi?"
A Han family without any foundation is nothing but a bargaining chip everywhere. But in Ning Chongyi's eyes, it is Jing Xiuyi that he dislikes.
She entered the palace so late, but she was able to climb so far ahead of her. How could she accept it? Li Chongrong agreed: "Oh, I think so too. Look, this Shen Yunu is outstanding in appearance and is not inferior to Sister Jing."
"Ning Chongyi and Li Chongrong think it's a good idea, so why not ask the Queen to ask Shen Yunu to move to your place? Give her a good promotion?" Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "If it's hard to ask, I'll ask for you?"
"After all, she should live with you, right? You are her sister." Li Chongrong said.
"What are you talking about? Aren't all of you sitting here sisters? Why is it more important to be related to me?" Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Look at what Sister Li said. It's us who are not close, but we are actually quite close."
"Of course we are close." Li Chongrong smiled: "I just didn't expect that Sister Jing is so powerful."
What she wanted to say was ruthlessness, but even without saying it clearly, everyone understood.
Shen Chuliu had no reaction.
There was no need for her to act virtuous in front of these people. There was no need.
The one who should be virtuous is the one above.
Sure enough, the queen smiled and said, "I know Jing Xiuyi's personality. You are right. Once you enter the palace, we are all sisters."
Shen Chuliu stood up: "The Queen is absolutely right."
The queen waved her hand and said, "That's enough for today. It's been raining and cold these past few days. Those of you who have children should keep an eye on them."
Everyone agreed.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Ning Chongyi said, "As expected, Jing Xiuyi is the coldest person."
"You can be enthusiastic if you want, but I don't have the time." After saying this, he blessed the concubines and got on the sedan chair.
Unfortunately, the person was kidnapped before he could return.
In the Taiji Palace, Shen Chuliu looked at the pile of memorials on the table and opened his mouth wide: "Your Majesty, how long has it been since you approved a memorial? Don't you have a cabinet now?"
That doesn’t make sense. The workload has increased?
Qi Yixiu laughed: "You really understand. I just took a final look."
Shen Chuliu nodded in understanding. Was he checking the work of the new department? She smiled and said, "Then I don't need to grind too much ink. I guess it won't be used."
Qi Yixiu liked her cleverness and insight: "I asked you to come and sit down."
Shen Chuliu smiled, took off the bracelet on her wrist, went out and asked Chusi to light the brazier in the cubicle.
The dragon in Taiji Palace has been extinguished, but it is still cold in the study room after staying in it for a long time.
Han Baolin returned to Changqiuxuan. Her maid Shui Xin hurriedly helped her change clothes and go from Taiji Palace to Fengzao Palace. She had not yet had breakfast.
But someone brought it and served it to her.
"The Emperor called Jing Xiuyi over again?"
"Yes, Baolin. It is said that in the past the emperor often asked Empress Jing Xiuyi to go to Taiji Palace to serve him with writing materials. She went there several times when she was pregnant. But later, when she was older and gave birth, she hasn't been there for the past few months." Shui Xin said.
"Are other people going too?" Han Baolin asked.
"Other people go occasionally, but rarely. The Emperor asks Empress Jing Xiuyi to go more often." Shui Xin said.
Han Baolin snorted. She would never forget Jing Xiuyi's ridicule of her today.
However, she had just entered the palace and did not dare to say anything. She just nodded and left.
After all, I was very tired, so I went to bed and rested for a while.
In Changle Palace, Concubine Yi changed her clothes, drank the medicine and sat down.
"Jing Xiuyi did humiliate Han Baolin. That's rare." Fuxiang smiled to make her happy.
Concubine Yi curled the corners of her mouth but didn't laugh.
"I feel that she is not actually like me." Concubine Yi said slowly.
"Of course not. Where is your charm?" Fuxiang smiled apologetically.
Concubine Yi finally smiled and said, "I feel that I have gotten much better recently."
"Your Majesty, if you relax a little, you will naturally get better. The weather is good now, so if you take good care of yourself, you will be well by autumn." Fuxiang said with a smile.
Concubine Yi nodded.
Chenxiang remained silent and Huashan kept his head down.
In fact, they all knew that this was because the imperial physician changed the prescription.
The imperial physician has almost made it clear that the queen is in poor health now.
In the past, the Empress had trouble sleeping at night and had no energy during the day, but she couldn't fall asleep when she was asked to.
Nowadays, the Empress falls asleep as soon as night falls, and if no one wakes her up, she can sleep for six or seven hours.
This would have been fine in the past, but now...
This is clearly because of the medicine.
Now that the queen is like this, she seems to be more energetic during the day, and she doesn't wake up coughing all the time at night. But how long can this method of drinking poison to quench thirst work? After helping Concubine Yi lie down, Chenxiang and Fuxiang went out together.
Keep the painted fan for later use.
She looked at the person who fell asleep on the couch not long after, and she couldn't hide the fear and worry in her heart.
She thought of Anxiang.
Anxiang is smarter and more capable than her, and was once the master's confidant.
But when something happened to Anxiang, the master didn't do much.
Let her die in the laundry department.
Now that her master is gone, what should she do? Hua Shan bit her lip. She was thinking about a lot: An Xiang, Zhu Li, and Su Baolin.
The Su family who allowed them to call for peace...
The palace maid who did the rough work.
Now it is Baolin, the Baolin favored by the emperor.
The master had long forgotten that she wanted Su Baolin, a social worker, to raise her child.
Perhaps, the master also knew that it was unlikely.
Hua Shan had never had an easy life following Concubine Yi for so many years. The biggest crisis she faced was when she was punished by the Queen with a stick.
But she doesn't want to end up badly.
What should she do once her master is gone?
