Chapter 96 I Can't Sleep
She handed out a knife handle, and naturally someone took the knife.
Concubine Yi is pregnant, but how many people can't sleep well?
Since her chief eunuch was so disdainful of the concubines, there were bound to be many people who hated him.
Shen Chuliu didn't care about anything else after she finished speaking. It was almost time, so she went to sleep.
That night, nothing happened.
But the next morning, word spread in the palace that Concubine Yi was pregnant, so the emperor exempted her from paying respects for three days.
He also asked the imperial physician to prescribe pregnancy-protecting medicine for her and gave her many good things as rewards.
Shen Chuliu sneered: "This time, I finally got what I wanted."
Just as she was about to go to Fengzao Palace, she saw the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs coming with something.
"The Emperor has a reward, please accept it, Lady Jing."
Shen Chuliu came out holding Zhemei's hand to receive the reward.
The reward was four rolls of cloth, probably because I saw she looked good in green yesterday, so the four rolls of cloth were all green and blue.
There was also a pair of bracelets and a silver necklace inlaid with turquoise.
As well as four snacks and a can of this year's Mingqian green tea.
Shen Chuliu accepted the reward and rewarded the eunuch.
Only then did he go to Fengzao Palace to pay his respects.
Fengzao Palace, everyone has arrived except Concubine Yi.
As soon as Shen Chuliu arrived, some people couldn't help but laugh at her.
"Oh, didn't the Emperor flip over Concubine Jing's name yesterday? Why did he go to Concubine Yi again?" Concubine Jin said impatiently.
"What Concubine Jin said is really funny. Who doesn't have to make way for the royal heir? Concubine Yi is pregnant, which is a great thing." She suddenly laughed and said, "In the past, Concubine Yi called Concubine Jin sister. Because Concubine Jin gave birth to the eldest princess. But if Concubine Yi also gave birth to a child, and then a prince... How can I say it, Concubine Yi was the first to be conferred the title of Concubine, so how should I address her then?"
"Don't bother yourself with that." Concubine Jin snorted.
"But it's a good thing that Concubine Yi is pregnant. There are still few children in the palace. If Concubine Yi can give birth to a prince, then we don't have to tell Concubine Jin what to name him." Concubine Kangde said with a smile.
This means that if Concubine Yi gives birth to a prince, she will definitely be promoted.
"Oh, I didn't think enough." Concubine Jin smiled and said, "It's just that for a concubine of this rank..."
She shook her head again and didn't want to continue.
Concubine Feng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Whether the baby can be born or not is still uncertain, but you guys are so excited!"
"Concubine Feng!" the queen called out indifferently, "You are the highest-ranking concubine in the harem now, and you should set an example. What are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty is too serious. What I said was not false. Is there anyone among you who doesn't know how Concubine Yi got pregnant?" Concubine Feng snorted.
"Really? Then please tell me, Concubine Shu, how this pregnancy came about. Also tell this to all the concubines in the harem, and ask them to learn from it." The Queen looked at her coldly.
Concubine Feng was speechless, and after a while she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, the Queen is right, I made a mistake."
Some things need evidence to be spoken out.
"It's possible that Concubine Yi will be promoted to Concubine Xian in the future." Concubine Ning said with a smile.
She brought the topic back again, which was very thoughtful of her.
After all, among the four concubines of the first rank, only the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine were left.
Lady Li smiled and said, "If you ask me, if Concubine Yi gave birth to a prince, then I can still be the Imperial Concubine. After all, Concubine Yi is favored."
These words were like a slap in the face to Concubine Feng.
She hates the emperor now. Why did he only give her the position of concubine?
Isn't this embarrassing?
Is Concubine Yi so good?
The Queen first gave Concubine Yi a lot of rewards.
No matter how unwilling Concubine Feng was, she had to give the reward, and she did so with a pinch of her nose.
Concubine Kangde looked calm, as if she really didn't care.
It was on this day that word spread in the palace that Zhu Li's tyranny was due to Concubine Yi's tyranny.
But Concubine Yi herself didn't know all this. She was finally sure that she was pregnant. Her years of anticipation had finally come true. How could she care about so many other things?
In the evening, she waited for the emperor to come.
But at dusk, news came that the emperor had turned over the name card of Lady Jing from Cuiyunxuan.
Concubine Yi's passion turned cold in an instant.
But she also knew that last night was last night, and if she made trouble again tonight, the emperor would not be a good-tempered person.
But she couldn't help but suspect that the emperor really loved her the most over the years.
Since she entered the mansion, she has been the one who sleeps with him most often.
But in this year, with the arrival of Concubine Jing and Concubine Li, she really slept with the emperor less and less.
It can also be said that since entering the palace, things have been different from the mansion.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Li took away some of her favor, but Concubine Li fell out of favor!
And Concubine Ning is still relatively favored, and now Concubine Kangde has promoted Wen Xiaoyi.
Li Baolin of Jiyunxuan has also shown some improvement recently.
Although Li Baolin was just Baolin and had lost a baby, he still came from a good family.
His father and brother were both stationed in the southwest, and he came from a family of generals. He himself was also very good at dancing.
Concubine Yi was thinking in a daze, it was getting late.
She knew that Huashan and Anxiang came to persuade her: "Madam, you should take a rest. It's getting late and dinner is not yet served."
"You know, if my family background was better, wouldn't I be like this now?" Concubine Yi said with some sadness.
"The emperor is no longer a prince, no longer a crown prince, he is the emperor. There are more and more things he needs to take care of. Even if he still cares about me in his heart, he has to take a lot of things into consideration in the end." Concubine Yi said.
"Your Majesty, you are always the one in the emperor's heart, but the emperor... has no choice." Anxiang followed her words.
"The Emperor advised me not to argue with the ladies in the harem, saying it was for my own good." Concubine Yi shook her head and smiled: "Is it really for my own good now?"
"Your Majesty, you are pregnant now, so you must not be sad. It's not good for the fetus. No matter what your background is, as long as you give birth to a prince, you can be promoted. Think about it, among the four concubines, the positions of Imperial Concubine and Virtuous Concubine are all vacant. It's not good that you have a bad family background, but it also has its advantages. If the emperor pampers you, he won't have to worry about anything else." Huashan said.
Concubine Yi took a deep breath and said, "That's what you said."
On the other side, Shen Chuliu, with her long, smooth hair loose, was having dinner with Qi Yixiu.
She did not hide it and just said that she took off the hairpins because she accidentally hit her head in the afternoon and her scalp hurt.
She also asked Qi Yixiu to touch her so-called bag that could not be touched.
Of course it's just acting, but it's real.
Qi Yixiu admired the little concubine's soft long hair.
Naturally, no one disturbed them that night, not even Concubine Yi, as she had a proud personality after all.
Others don’t even dare.
In the morning, Qi Yixiu got up a little late, so Shen Chuliu did not go to pay his respects.
After seeing the emperor off, Shen Chuliu yawned, "I guess many people couldn't sleep yesterday, right?"
Concubine Yi's pregnancy was announced yesterday morning, so naturally many people couldn't sleep well that night.
Come and repeat after me, number eighteen is on the shelf, number eighteen, number eighteen. It's not number eight, did you eat the number ten on purpose? (End of this chapter)
