Chapter 41: Can Be Safe
After leaving Fuyang Palace and walking away, Yao Baolin whispered, "This time, Wei Yunu's pregnancy is stable."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "If Her Majesty the Queen takes action, it will be stable."
"Although, with what the emperor said, many people are hoping that something bad will happen to her." So that Concubine Yi can be demoted.
As for Song Zhaoyi, she was not favored and had no children, so no one cared about her.
But looking at the current situation, the Emperor cannot allow anything to happen again.
"After so many years, I have seen clearly that although the Emperor treats the Empress... But the Empress is a person who sees things clearly and takes powerful actions. It would be fine if she does not take any action. But once she does, Wei's baby will definitely be saved." Yao Baolin said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Sister, what you said is very true. But I won't investigate this matter. I don't know who is behind it. Who bribed Cao Cairen's eunuch?"
Yao Baolin sighed: "Some things in the palace are clear, while others are unclear. Since the emperor doesn't want to investigate, let's just let it go."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "It's just that Concubine Yi has replaced Concubine Feng Shu, I'm afraid this time it's going to be tough."
Can this alliance continue? If Wei's child is born, it should be adopted by Concubine Yi.
"As long as it has nothing to do with us, the Emperor has only been on the throne for four years, and the fighting in the harem is at its fiercest. Once the Empress gives birth to a legitimate son, what will anyone else have to do with it?" Yao Baolin said.
But there are too many variables. Will the baby be born? Will it grow up? Is it a boy?
After the Queen grows up, will her legitimate son be unable to inherit the throne because she is not a native woman? Isn't this what everyone is arguing about?
In the ancient imperial palace, you couldn’t ask women to have lofty goals, and reality didn’t allow it.
All they want to do throughout their lives is live better and climb higher.
The same goes for Shen Chuliu.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu seemed a little tired and was helped by the maids to get on the soft couch in the outer room.
Leaning there holding a cup of hot tea.
"Talent, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to ask a doctor to see you?" Zizhu asked.
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "Not really, this is just a little confusing for me."
"In this matter, it seems that Concubine Feng Shu was the first to plot, but who was behind it? Concubine Feng Shu is not good enough, but there is Empress Dowager Feng behind her, who would never come up with such a bad idea. I believe the emperor also understands this, otherwise he would not have given such a light punishment."
Although, for a concubine in the fourth rank of concubine, being punished by not being allowed to wear a green badge for three months would not have too much impact, it is still embarrassing.
"But, in this whole palace, only Concubine Feng has this idea." Zizhu said.
She is the only one who is afraid that others will give birth to sons.
It would be fine if Wen Xiaoyi could support herself, but she can't.
Then she must be taken to a high-ranking concubine.
In the past few years, Concubine Feng has been so high and mighty, isn't it because she has a child?
No one can compare to this.
After all, Concubine Jin only had one princess.
If Concubine Yi had a child, sooner or later she would be ranked among the top four concubines of the first rank.
With favor, it is not impossible to become a royal concubine.
Wouldn't Concubine Feng be embarrassed at that time?
"What you said makes sense, but I always feel that this is too... How can Concubine Feng be so stupid?" Shen Chuliu shook her head: "Forget it, Yao Baolin is right. This matter has nothing to do with us now. We should be careful and never contact Wei. I want to see who will end up with this child."
"Don't think too much, my talent. When you become the ninth concubine, you will be able to raise your own children." Zi Rui said.
"You girl, you are thinking too far ahead. Now I just hope to become a beauty and live alone with dignity." At least she can receive the emperor independently, and then things will not be like now.
There will be more opportunities to display your talents.
"That will be even faster, next year." Zi Rui said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu said nothing and just nodded.
Since sending away Concubine Feng, the Emperor began to ask Li Xiaoyi to sleep with him every day.
For four consecutive days, she was the one who came every day. She was not as pampered as before, but came every morning.
However, Shen Chuliu suspected that she was here more to show off.
This made Concubine Jin very angry.
Unfortunately, Li Xiaoyi was in favor at the time, so there was nothing she could do.
Besides the queen, who else could openly do anything to the favored concubine? Wouldn't that be stupid?
Unless it was the Wei family back then, their status was too low.
The same thing happened this morning. Concubine Jin mocked Li Xiaoyi for becoming proud after being favored for a few days and was the last to come to pay her respects.
Li Xiaoyi sarcastically said that Concubine Jin had become more and more involved in other people's affairs after her promotion to the throne.
After being punished, Concubine Feng naturally stopped coming, and she told others that she was reflecting on her mistakes behind closed doors.
It always sounds better to be alone behind closed doors than to be confined to the house.
After being frightened, Concubine Cao became even sicker when she returned home, so naturally she would not come.
Wen Xiaoyi is still in confinement after giving birth.
Wei Yunu was not feeling well during her pregnancy and did not come.
With four people gone, the place seemed a lot emptier.
Concubine Yi kept calling Concubine Jin "sister", but when it came time to sit down, she sat above Concubine Jin.
Concubine Jin was angry but didn't dare to say anything, let alone snatch it.
She didn't dare to come first, so she could only chat with Li Xiaoyi for a while.
The queen sat on it, drinking something that pregnant women could drink, and watched the show leisurely.
In Shen Chuliu's eyes, the queen was really too powerful.
If it were her, she would do the same, why would she fight with the little concubine? This is the true portrayal of the queen's words: As long as I am alive, you will always be concubines.
The Chao Kingdom was not weak either. The Queen had married into the country with the aim of maintaining peace between the two countries.
It's not about war or marriage.
So, it is not that easy for the queen to die. So the concubines below are just concubines after all.
The queen who watched the play every day was also very happy.
"Li Xiaoyi is quite eloquent." Yi Chongyuan took a sip of tea and put down the tea bowl: "In recent years, it's rare to see someone who is so good at speaking."
"Sister Yi is right. It is rare. Although Concubine Shen is quite eloquent, I'm afraid she will lose against Li Xiaoyi." Concubine Ning smiled.
Shen Chuliu just drank tea and smiled.
"Sister Ning Jieyu and Sister Yi Chongyuan were joking. I just can't stand being wronged." Li Xiaoyi said indifferently.
"Okay. That's all for today. You guys should go back early. I'm going to take a walk in the Imperial Garden." The Queen stood up.
Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "I will accompany you."
The queen nodded in agreement.
Later, Li Xiaoyi sneered.
Lu Xiaoyi followed the queen to the back as if she heard nothing.
They sneered at themselves for standing here with the Queen, but...if not, how could they be favored? In this harem, who can't they rely on? When they left, they saw Concubine Yi and Concubine Song leaving together. They were in charge of palace affairs, so naturally they had a lot of things to do.
But this doesn't count as standing together. Song Zhaoyi is still better off with Concubine Jin, as he was lifting her skirt just now.
