Chapter 9 Concubine Cao said,
"Well, today is the fifteenth day. Those below the rank of beauty should go back, and those above the rank of beauty should follow me to pay respects to the two Empress Dowagers. Concubine Cao, you should go back too, it is important to take care of your pregnancy."
After leaving Fengzao Palace, everyone first respectfully saw off the high-ranking ladies, and then left according to their rank.
It seemed that Lady Cao had set her sights on Miao Xiaoyi, and she deliberately asked her maid to bump into her.
Miao Xiaoyi managed to keep herself steady, and saw Lady Cao sitting on the sedan chair and sneering, "As expected of you of humble origins, can't you even learn the rules?"
Miao Xiaoyi knew that Lady Cao did it on purpose, and she did not dare to refute: "I know I am wrong."
“Since you know you are wrong, just kneel here for two hours. Are you convinced?” Concubine Cao didn’t believe that the emperor would always help this bitch.
"Yes." Miao Xiaoyi knelt down feeling very aggrieved.
But who cares about her grievances? Now she has incurred public anger and everyone wants to kill her.
When Shen Chuliu passed by her reluctantly, he snorted. The sound was not loud, but everyone could hear it.
Everyone couldn't help but think that Shen Baolin was also a person who couldn't keep his temper.
But it’s good this way. Aren’t the people in the harem who are feared to be deep-minded? Those who can see through things are easy to deal with.
Besides, Shen Chuliu was not favored much, so naturally people didn't care about her.
Even Lu Baolin is more threatening than her, after all, he comes from a scholarly family.
Now there is the pregnant An Yunv. Judging from what the Queen says, An Yunv's baby must be kept.
If the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress all want to protect the fetus, no one would dare to interfere.
On the way back, Yao Baolin whispered, "In the early years when I was still in the mansion, it wasn't that no one got pregnant. It was just that He Xiuyi's child was born healthy. When Concubine Liu was pregnant before, she had all kinds of disasters. So naturally the child's body was not good. That's why she died early. At least she made it into the palace, and she is no longer insignificant."
If the child died in the mansion, I'm afraid no one would even remember him. Only if he died in the palace, he could be considered a prince.
"Isn't Lady Liu sad because of this and doesn't come out often?" Shen Chuliu asked. This beauty has been claiming to be sick for many years and rarely appears.
"Yes, she was injured and sad. It turns out that she was quite favored." Yao Baolin shook his head.
"The Concubine Shu entered the palace a few days after she became pregnant. At that time, the Emperor had just ascended the throne, and the two Empress Dowagers worked together to protect the baby." Yao Baolin was full of emotion when talking about the past: "Now if Concubine Cao and Lady An Yu are lucky enough to give birth to a child, it will be different. It's been more than a year since they removed the mourning clothes, and they still don't have a child."
No matter which child is born, it will be a great blessing.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "It is indeed a blessing. I thought that since Concubine Yi was so favored, she would be the first to have a child."
Yao Baolin smiled and said, "I think so too. It shows that childbirth is not decided by people. Lady Cao is fine, but look at Lady An. How many times does she serve you in a year? That's enough."
Shen Chuliu personally poured tea for Yao Baolin: "This matter is not up to anyone. An Yunv and I are in the same class, but I am not very familiar with her. I only know that she is shy and doesn't talk much."
"How can there be such a simple person?" Yao Baolin smiled while holding the tea, took a few sips and suddenly said, "There was a beautiful lady in the mansion who was quite favored, but she disappeared overnight. When I went there, I found out that she was pregnant. She tried to hide it, but she still couldn't stop it..."
Talking further would get too complicated, so Shen Chuliu changed the subject and started talking about clothes, jewelry and other things.
After seeing Yao Baolin off, Shen Chuliu propped up her head and said, "Hey, what does she think? She always tells me these stories."
"I think there's nothing wrong with this." Zizhu was removing Shen Chuliu's makeup. "I'm afraid Yao Baolin has no hope of being favored, but Baolin, you have a bright future. You have to find a way to make a living in the harem. It would be best if you could be favored and have children. If not, you have to have someone to rely on. Didn't you see that Lu Baolin has leaned on Li Jieyu? Yao Baolin can't think of being favored like this. Others look down on her, including you. Living in the same pavilion with her, she probably thinks that if you become successful in the future, she will also benefit from it. It can be considered as standing in line."
"That's it. Zi Rui always says that I'm not ambitious..." Shen Chuliu was not surprised, but she still liked the maids to use their brains to analyze things.
Zi Rui just came in and heard this, and sighed: "I don't know whose good this servant is doing!"
Shen Chuliu has already laid down comfortably. There is nothing wrong with sleeping more in the summer when you have nothing to do.
In front of Fengzao Palace, the Queen and others came back from paying their respects and frowned when they saw Miao Xiaoyi kneeling.
The queen didn't even bother to say a word and just went in, holding the maid's hand.
Seeing that the queen didn't say anything, the others naturally didn't care.
Miao Xiaoyi's fingers were broken from clenching, but there was nothing she could do except kneel down.
It's not that she doesn't know her situation, but what can she do? Although she has the status of Xiaoyi, she has been bullied everywhere after only a few days in the palace.
Although the emperor expressed his comfort, he never took any actual action.
She can't even control her own maid.
Finally the time came, and after the maid helped her up, she said, "Let's go to Taiji Palace."
The girl wanted to persuade him but then she stopped talking.
She knew very well that the senior palace maid serving her master could not be replaced casually, and since she followed Miao Xiaoyi, she had to be loyal.
Now the maids in their palace are very restless. If she can't be well, then there will be real chaos.
Miao Xiaoyi went outside the Taiji Palace to ask for an audience, and saw Chusi coming out and said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, it's an unfortunate coincidence that you came here. The emperor is busy. There are many memorials today. But the emperor said that Xiaoyi should go back first, and he will reward her later."
No matter what Miao Xiaoyi said, she didn't dare to disturb the emperor from reading the memorials, so she had to go back.
I thought the reward would be jewelry again, but around noon, an imperial edict spread throughout the palace.
Miao Xiaoyi was promoted to Miaocairen.
This really caused a huge uproar. Many people in the harem had to spend several years to get promoted, but Miao Xiaoyi was promoted in just a few days.
He didn't say that she was wronged, nor did he punish Concubine Cao, but he just promoted her.
Miao Xiaoyi became Miao Cairen, and Zi Rui was a little worried: "Baolin, this...are we okay?"
"There's Concubine Cao in front of us, what can I do?" Shen Chuliu laughed: "Look at that talented lady Miao, she's so beautiful, isn't she?"
"It's not right for me to say that, but although her appearance is outstanding, it is far from yours." My master hasn't grown up yet. There is no ugly man in the Shen family, and the woman looks like her father.
