Chapter 62 Yi Chongyuan
In Furongxuan, Yi Chongyuan was really feeling uncomfortable.
This is her first child. Everyone has different physical constitutions. Some people don’t feel much during pregnancy, while others will often have abdominal pain.
That's because children grow up.
This is her physique. She used to dare to act coquettishly under the pretext of her belly, but gradually she no longer dared to do so.
During the New Year period, the emperor's attitude made her very scared.
Now, the queen gave birth to a princess, which made Yi Chongyuan feel relieved.
No matter what, as long as the baby she gave birth to was a prince, he would always be more valued.
Besides, Empress Dowager Li valued offspring, so if she could give birth to a prince, he would always be more noble than the third prince, right? After all, the third prince's mother was just a dancer.
She thought about these things while gently stroking her belly.
"My lord, the Emperor has turned over Concubine Ning's name card today." The maid came in and said.
Yi Chongyuan snorted coldly: "She is so happy."
"This is the first time the Emperor has picked a name card after the Empress gave birth to the second princess." Ye Xin said.
After she turned fifteen, Yi Chongyuan also received the emperor, but she was not allowed to sleep with him.
She nodded and said, "There are only a few favored ones in the harem now. She should be happy that the emperor still remembers her."
"She certainly can't be compared with you. You are pregnant, and when the little prince is born in the future, things will naturally be different." Ye Xin said with a smile.
"It seems that Lady Li is now in conflict with Concubine Ning?" Yi Chongyuan asked.
At the beginning, they were all equally favored, so it was inevitable that there were many conflicts.
That was a problem that existed in the mansion. Although Yi Chongyuan would not like Shen Chuliu and Li Meiren, she also had a lot of hatred for Ning Jieyu.
Besides, the women in the palace, today they are against you, tomorrow they are against her, how can you be sure? Having the same man, this is the original sin.
"Lady Jing and Lady Li are both very cunning. Concubine Ning will not be able to get away with it. Now I see that she has restrained herself." Ye Xin said.
"She's not stupid. She restrained herself naturally. To fight, one must have the confidence. There's only one level difference between a concubine and a beauty. What can she do? Unless she can get pregnant and get promoted, it's only a matter of time before she's suppressed by two beauties." It sounds sad, but that's how it is in the palace. New people replace the old.
"Don't even mention her. Isn't the current Concubine Yi much less favored than before?"
Even so, Concubine Yi still spent the most time in the emperor's bed. It might have been fifteen days a month before, but now it's seven or eight days a month.
"Speaking of which, the queen's baby this time is a princess, and the one in Fuyang Palace must be very happy." Yi Chongyuan said.
"Don't you know that one? She has always treated her prince as the prince's. But now is the right time. Sooner or later, she will suffer. Which one of Jing Meiren, Li Meiren, or even Lu Xiaoyi is easy to get along with? Unless she doesn't give birth, as long as she does, which family is worse than hers? And they will fight." Ye Xin smiled: "Since the queen didn't give birth to a prince, she will naturally be a bystander. I don't know what the queen of Fuyang Palace will do then."
It can be seen that people in the palace also knew what Concubine Feng was thinking.
Not stupid, but definitely not smart.
"Don't underestimate Concubine Kangde." Yi Chongyuan snorted: "The reason why the eldest prince died was because she was careless when she first entered the palace. Now that she has a higher position, it's naturally different." Although she said that the third prince had a poor background.
But since he is being raised by Concubine Kangde, it is hard to say what his future will be like.
February in the imperial city is the saddest time.
It is exactly the line from Li Qingzhao's poem: 'When the weather is changing from warm to cold, it is the most difficult to rest.'
This is not pure south, but it is close to the south. Every time at this time, it is very damp and cold.
Charcoal is indispensable. Shen Chuliu has plenty of it. The weather is damp and she doesn't like to go out. She just stays in the house and reads.
However, Concubine Yi's birthday is coming soon, and I have to celebrate it well this year, so I have to go out.
Concubine Yi's birthday is on the ninth day of the second lunar month. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started preparations and will set up a table in her palace when the time comes.
The emperor will come, and all the women in the harem will go with him.
The Queen is still in confinement, so she won't go there, but she will definitely send someone to send a gift when the time comes.
Shen Chuliu looked at Chi Su who brought the clothes on a large plate and said, "Master, look at this one. I think this color is the brightest."
It was a bright yellow skirt, paired with a light yellow short jacket, with a black brocade waistband embroidered with tender yellow forsythia flowers.
"Oh, you want me to be Yingchun directly?" Shen Chuliu had never seen this dress before. She guessed that the servants sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it themselves.
"Master, you have fair skin and it's spring now, isn't it just right? Put on a white rabbit fur cloak on the outside, and when you go in and take it off, you will be the most eye-catching one." Chi Su said with a smile.
"That's fine, but aren't you asking me to go and mess things up?" Shen Chuliu laughed.
It’s Concubine Yi’s birthday.
Chi Su just smiled.
Ji Mei came over and said, "Master, just rest assured. Who doesn't want to compete for beauty? After all, after the first month of the year, there are not many people who sleep with you."
Li Meiren hasn't even slept with me yet.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Okay, then give me a set of colored glass jewelry. Since it must be bright, then make it bright enough."
"Yes." Chi Su replied with a smile.
There is a set of eight-treasure exquisite gold, silk and glass jewelry in the jewelry box.
It was a reward from the emperor years ago.
You don't have to wear all of them, just wear a few and match them together.
It is then paired with a tourmaline hairpin. The master likes bright things, so just before the New Year, she took a box of tourmaline beads and inlaid more than a dozen hairpins of various colors.
There are gold and silver, all very fine and beautiful, but I haven't worn them yet. Now is the time.
She also took out a pure gold necklace inlaid with rose quartz to decorate the look.
Shen Chuliu smiled and nodded: "Okay, that's all, tomorrow we will go and suppress the arrogance of this favorite concubine."
When he first entered the palace, he was naturally wary of Concubine Yi.
But it has been more than a year and almost two years since I came here, and I should have seen it clearly.
As for Concubine Yi, it depends on your means, otherwise it will fail sooner or later.
This one probably has fertility problems. She has slept with me the most but still cannot get pregnant.
She had news before, so she knew that Concubine Yi had taken a lot of medicine, both openly and secretly.
Judging from Concubine Yi’s family background, it was definitely not that the Emperor did not allow her to have children, but that there was indeed something wrong with her.
If you can't give birth yourself, how can you expect to raise someone else's child? I'm afraid that if another concubine of a lower rank gave birth, the emperor would give the child to Song Zhaoyi first.
After all, that person is really honest and does not like to fight with others.
So, in fact, it's not just her, there are many people in the harem who think that Concubine Yi is the straw that caught fire. It looks great, but once it burns out, it's gone.
Unless she could turn the tables and get pregnant and give birth to a son, it would be good enough for her to be able to secure the position of a second-rank concubine.
Let's put it on the shelves at the end of October, and keep the October monthly ticket for me, okay?
