Chapter 151 Encounter
Ever since Concubine Li became dependent on the Queen, the Queen sent her delicious food and drinks every day. She felt that the Queen valued her, so she ate more and naturally gained a little weight. Unlike her previous slim figure, she was really a little fat now. However, the imperial physician said that the baby in her belly was growing very well, so Concubine Li felt that there was nothing wrong with being a little fat.
At least she heard that Concubine Zhao vomited so much that she became extremely thin after she became pregnant. She privately thought that Concubine Zhao was so sickly that the child she would give birth to would definitely not be as healthy as hers.
Meanwhile, Chen Mianmian had seen Shen Qing and was stunned at first sight. Now, looking at this person who was obviously also a concubine in the palace, she suddenly felt that although they were both concubines, the difference between them was quite large.
She was just walking around casually today. Nanny Cuiyun was a cautious person. Unlike the Empress Dowager, she had no intention of letting her get close to the Emperor. Chen Mianmian realized this soon.
But it would not restrict her whereabouts. If the Queen Mother told her to walk around, she would "obediently" walk around, and Nanny Cuiyun could not say anything.
However, when she saw Concubine Li, she saw the way she protected her abdomen and knew that she was pregnant.
After seeing Chen Qing, Chen Mianmian turned around and inquired about the current situation in the palace. She knew that Chen Qing was Concubine Xi, and that there were two pregnant women in the palace, one was Concubine Li and the other was Concubine Zhao. Concubine Zhao was less than three months pregnant, so the one in front of her should be Concubine Li.
She heard that Concubine Li's baby was to be given to the Empress. Now seeing how fat Concubine Li had become, she almost laughed. If she had been so fat from the beginning, it would have been impossible for her to be favored and pregnant, right?
Did she gain weight after getting pregnant? Her belly isn't that big, how come she got so fat?
I didn't expect that the palace would also have the same facilities as those in the mansions of the rich and powerful.
It can be seen that the trick is not new. As long as it is effective, the queen is no exception, right?
At this moment, she felt that the queen was not so high and mighty. Wasn't she just like a woman in the boudoir? She couldn't win her husband's heart by using these tricks?
Chen Mianmian was indeed ashamed of herself when she met Chen Qing that day, but in fact she was very good-looking. Now that she met Concubine Li, her beauty was even more prominent.
Concubine Li didn't know how such a person appeared in the palace. Seeing that Chen Mianmian was not wearing the clothes of a palace maid and her appearance was very outstanding, she was a little unsure.
The two palace maids beside Concubine Li were sent by the Queen, and they are protecting her closely.
After Chen Mianmian finished her greetings, she said, "The beauty is also here to play. The flowers in this palace are really beautiful."
She started to have sex, and Lady Li casually said, "Aren't you from the palace?"
"Your servant Chen Mianmian is currently accompanying the Queen Mother in Shouxiang Palace."
When Concubine Li heard the surname Chen and that she came from Shouxiang Palace, she knew that this must be a daughter of the Chen family. Although the incident with Chen Zhenzhen last time did not cause much trouble, many people knew about it. Now, this Chen Mianmian, she thought that it must be another one that the empress dowager intended to give to the emperor.
After she became pregnant, she stayed indoors and had no one to ask for information, so she had no idea that Chen Mianmian had entered the palace.
However, the Queen Mother's meaning seemed too obvious as she was telling everyone that the Queen was infertile and that she could only find another girl with the surname Chen from the Chen family to give birth to the prince.
It's really an insult to the Queen.
Even though the Queen is not favored, if you formally select a concubine through the beauty pageant, the Queen will accept it and maybe even cultivate her well. After all, it is related to the family's glory. But inserting someone in this way secretly is just disgusting.
So it seems that this person has a bad relationship with the queen. Now she relies on the queen. It is better to have less contact with such people.
Concubine Li now wholeheartedly regards herself as someone on the Queen's side. She also expects the Queen to treat her and the baby in her belly well. Naturally, she will not contact anyone who may annoy the Queen.
I couldn't help but say: "It turns out to be Miss Chen. The scenery of the Imperial Garden is indeed very beautiful. You can also take a closer look."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
As a result, I passed by Chen Mianmian, but saw her looking at her belly with a meaningful expression.
At this glance, the two people serving Concubine Li saw that Chen Mianmian just lowered her head and helped Concubine Li to be careful with her step, so they didn't notice it, but Concubine Li saw it.
And it makes me feel uncomfortable. What's that look in her eyes?
Chen Mianmian and Li Meiren met for just a moment. She didn't say much, and Li Meiren had no intention of getting to know them. The two met and just passed by.
Originally, the scene in the Imperial Garden was as uneventful as a dragonfly skimming the water, but it happened that Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing planned to go out for a walk after they finished playing chess. As for the scenery, the Imperial Garden was naturally the best choice.
So Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing also came to the Imperial Garden.
Chen Mianmian was just leaving the Imperial Garden when she met Shen Qing and Xuanyuan Ling.
She had seen Shen Qing last time, but at that time Shen Qing was wearing fine clothes. Now Shen Qing was not wearing fine clothes, and Xuanyuan Ling was not wearing court clothes. The two of them walked together, like a young man and a beautiful woman from a wealthy family traveling together.
Chen Qing was naturally good-looking, and Xuanyuan Ling was also good-looking. After all, the late emperor was also very brave and extraordinary. If the empress dowager was not beautiful when she was young, how could she be favored?
Chen Mianmian had seen Shen Qing before, and at this moment, her eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Ling and she couldn't move them away.
This is the emperor.
She also thought that the emperor would be an old man. This was the inherent image of the emperor in the eyes of outsiders. Chen Mianmian also thought so before she met Xuanyuan Ling.
The emperor is old after all.
But now, looking at Xuanyuan Ling's young and handsome appearance, her heart skipped a beat.
At least remember to kneel down and salute.
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."
Xuanyuan Ling was looking at Chen Qing and didn't notice anyone for a while. Then Chen Mianmian came to pay her respects. He listened to the voice and looked over, only to see a stranger.
Chen Mianmian's kneeling was very unique. After she saluted, she tucked her chin slightly, folded her hands in front of her, and her waist and back were curved, making her figure very curvy, but it didn't look very deliberate.
Xuanyuan Ling took a look but didn't like it. He had never seen Chen Mianmian, but seeing that she was not wearing the clothes of a palace maid, he could guess who this person was. However, he didn't blame her just because he knew who she was. He was not so petty: "Get up."
After saying this, he and Shen Qing passed by.
Chen Mianmian only knelt for a while and she had almost forgotten about getting up. She saw Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing passing by. Shen Qing smiled and said something. Xuanyuan Ling glared at her, but he didn't look angry.
At this moment, she looked at Chen Qing's appearance and suddenly realized that it was herself. It would be great if the person next to him was her.
