Chapter 434: Only after the birth
Almost everyone has arrived at Fengzao Palace.
Concubine Qian Shu glanced at Shen Chuliu and snorted.
Shen Chuliu was too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Your Majesty looks good today." Concubine Rong said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu nodded and sat in his seat.
After everyone had greeted each other, it was time to speak.
Concubine Jin spoke first: "I heard that the Ninth Prince beat up the Eighth Prince yesterday? Oh, it's true. The Ninth Prince is also like that. How can he be so impatient at such a young age? He was able to do that to the Eighth Prince."
This sentence brought the two princes in.
The eighth prince is stupid, and the ninth prince has a bad temper.
"It's just a matter of children's quarrel. Thank goodness Concubine Jin is concerned about it." Zhen Chongyi snorted.
"It's not that I'm worried about it, but I just can't bear to hear about it." Concubine Jin looked at Wen Chongrong and said, "Sister Wen, what do you think?"
"I asked about what happened yesterday later. I would like to thank the Sixth Prince. Concubine Jing, please accept my greeting." Wen Chongrong said as she stood up and saluted Concubine Jing.
Shen Chuliu didn't dodge, so he took it.
"The Eighth Prince is your child, it's always good to pay more attention to him." Shen Chuliu said this lightly. If you can't hear it, you can't hear it, and if you can hear it, you don't care much.
"Sister Zhen Chongyi, don't worry about it. It's just a matter of children fighting. Both the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are still young." Wen Chongrong said again.
"It's the Ninth Prince's fault after all. It would be best if my sister doesn't mind."
The two men shook hands and made peace.
Shen Chuliu looked at it and was not surprised at all.
Wen Chongrong never looked aggressive when he acted.
It won't get out of hand.
Zhen Chongyi always hated Wen Chongrong and her son for bringing trouble to her child and causing the Ninth Prince to be ill for so long.
How could they really feel guilty now? If they didn't want to make a fuss, there was nothing others could do.
When the queen came out, she just asked a few routine questions and then asked everyone to leave.
Rong Jieyu came up with a smile and said, "Empress Jingfei, the weather is good today. I really want to see your Yufu Palace. How is it going?"
"Let's go. I'm afraid I'll be late for the greetings. I haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go to my place and eat something first." Shen Chuliu said.
"Oh, then I'll follow the queen and eat some more." With that, the three of them left together.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, they simply set the table and had Shen Chuliu, Rong Jieyu and Yao Baolin eat together.
After eating, we went to Yufu Palace.
"This place is really nice. I think it's better than Changle Palace back then. But it's not so extravagant. Your Majesty has a very good eye."
These are the only places that can be compared. Strictly speaking, Concubine Qian Shufei's Fuyang Palace is not as big as Yufu Palace. It was just built in the early years and is not very noticeable.
"I heard before that during the reign of Emperor Shun'an, a favorite concubine lived here. She was also very lucky. Although she did not give birth to a prince, she gave birth to four princesses, all of whom lived long lives. She was also posthumously named a noble concubine." Rong Jieyu said, "She lived to be over seventy years old."
"Really? But during the time of the previous emperor, all the concubines who lived here had bad luck." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Hey, this is the Yufu Palace. The palace where Concubine Yang lived has been converted to other uses and is no longer open to people." Rong Jieyu said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "That's what you said."
"Do you have anything to say to me today?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Yes, but I'm not sure." Concubine Rong whispered: "This Lady Su..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"Why do I feel like she's pregnant?" Concubine Rong frowned. "Your Majesty knows. Ever since you became estranged from her, she has occasionally come around with me. Recently, I've noticed that she's not quite right. Your Majesty also knows that she had a miscarriage that year. Although the imperial physician didn't say it explicitly, it also means that she can't have another baby. I wonder if it's because time has changed and she's been taking good care of herself over the past few years, so she's fine again?"
"Before, Ying's cosmetic surgery happened before the mourning period, and it was considered an accident. If Concubine Su was pregnant, it must have happened later?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
"It seems so. Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, her waist has become thicker recently." Concubine Rong said.
Shen Chuliu shook her head. She didn't pay attention to this.
"If there really is one, I'm afraid he will also be promoted. I think that after the mourning period for Empress Dowager Cirui is over, there will be several people who will be promoted." Shen Chuliu said.
"In recent years, her temper has become more and more difficult to figure out." Concubine Rong sighed: "She has always been favored. But now, Ning Zhaorong is getting worse day by day."
"Yes, Your Majesty hasn't seen her for two months, right?" Yao Baolin also said, "This has never happened before."
"The emperor has seen a real high-class beauty, how could he like a fake one?" Shen Chuliu laughed: "Oh, what a pity. It's just that Ning Zhaorong has been acting too much over the years. I'm afraid she has really made herself aloof."
"No matter what, Lady Su didn't do anything, so we don't have to care. Just watch." Shen Chuliu made the final decision.
"It's hot, you can have lunch here too. The Sixth Prince will be back soon."
Shen Chuliu said.
"Okay, I haven't seen the Sixth Prince for some time." Concubine Rong said with a smile.
Now, Concubine Rong has really let it go. She is old and not stunningly beautiful, so she no longer looks forward to serving the emperor in bed.
Therefore, it is necessary to please some princes, not to mention that he is Concubine Jing's son.
While they were having fun here, there was no movement from Lady Su's place.
It was not until a few days later that she invited the emperor.
It was only when the emperor arrived at Fenghua Pavilion that he learned that Concubine Su was pregnant.
Three months.
"It's my fault. I thought I couldn't get pregnant again, so I didn't pay attention. Now the timing is not right..." Lady Su knelt down.
Lady Su is not a beautiful lady like Concubine Yan, but she is also a quiet person.
She was also extremely beautiful, so the emperor still doted on her.
"Since you're pregnant, it's a happy event. Although it's the mourning period, it's already there, so it's not a big deal. Just take good care of it." Qi Yixiu helped her up.
To put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Feng's period of mourning cannot be compared with that of the late emperor.
She's not my biological mother.
If you're pregnant, you're pregnant.
So when the news of Su Meiren's pregnancy spread, it was followed by the news of promotion.
Lady Su became Concubine Su.
People didn't have any opinion about this promotion. After all, Su could have been promoted a long time ago. When the Su family was rehabilitated, the emperor did not promote her.
Now that I'm pregnant, it's only right that I be treated with respect.
What's more, this is not the time when the emperor first ascended the throne. At that time, there were too few high positions, and when someone was promoted, it would be particularly conspicuous.
So it is very difficult to get promoted.
Nowadays, more than half of the nine concubines are now employed, and the second-rank imperial concubine positions are almost full.
It will be the same if someone else is promoted.
In other words, even if a few more princes were born in the harem, that would be the case.
Maybe with more princes, everyone will have more opportunities.
Now, there is just one more concubine in the palace.
As for children, it only counts after they are born.
