Chapter 71 Goodbye, Concubine Shen
Shen Qing had been in the palace for more than half a year. This time, she was promoted to a higher position and served in the imperial kitchen again. The imperial physician who took her pulse every day changed her expression when she came into contact with him.
It is true that everyone in the harem is talented. Even though she was favored in the harem in the past, no one fawned on her because of her low rank. But now, Zhaohua Palace has become lively.
She had no connections with anyone in the harem, but as her status rose suddenly, people came uninvited.
The position of a concubine was naturally treated with dignity, but she also sent people to deliver gifts, under the pretext of congratulating her on her promotion and sympathizing with her health. They were always tonics. Shen Qing took a quick look and saw a Ganoderma lucidum that was half the size of her body. When she heard that it was sent by Concubine Chun, she understood.
Concubine Chun was also unable to bear children, which was mentioned in the original novel. This scene probably had the meaning of sympathy for each other.
She is not making a comeback now. Well, being favored before could be considered a comeback, but now she is basically wearing krypton gold equipment.
Xuanyuan Ling had some concerns before, but now that she is not pregnant and the Queen is no longer thinking about her, she has no concerns anymore.
Giving her a distinguished title was a clear sign of doting on her, and it was telling everyone that he was watching her and that no one could touch her.
After all, Concubine Yu’s status is not favored because of her, right?
Naturally, other people in the harem would not dare to act rashly towards her. Apart from anything else, things like Concubine Qiao and Noble Lady Lin coming to her house like an idiot in the past would not happen again in the future.
Shen Qing thought it was a little funny.
So, Xuanyuan Ling is really concerned about this, right?
Concubine Chun and Concubine Ru were the only ones who did not come to present rewards. The other concubines who entered the palace with her also came to congratulate her.
Of course, they were congratulating her and observing how badly she was injured. They were also curious about how badly someone would be injured in order for the emperor to promote her twice. When Concubine Li came, she was still thinking about Shen Qing's face. She thought it would be best if the injury was on her face so that she could seduce the emperor.
He was promoted twice in a row, and was the first one among the newcomers to the palace to be promoted. How could he not be jealous?
This time, Zhaohua Palace was really bustling. The most remote palace in the past was now crowded with people.
Except for Lin Liangren who was under house arrest, Qiao Meiren who had not been released because of the rules, Wang Meiren who was "sick", and Fang Guiren who was pregnant, everyone else was here.
Others were polite or pretended to smile, and it was always like this in the palace.
It was Concubine Shen who made Shen Qing take a second look because her attire was not very good.
It can't be said to be shabby, but Shen Qing saw her dressed like this last time, and she was still dressed like this this time. She only had a few pieces of jewelry, which showed that she didn't have much to show for herself.
Shen Qing knew that her life was really not going well.
Lady Shen's life was indeed not very good, or rather, it seemed that there was no hope at all.
She was a noble lady when she entered the palace, but now looking at Chen Qing and the festive atmosphere in Zhaohua Palace, the frustration that had been suppressed in her heart for several months made her feel uneasy.
Chen Qing was just a good man at first. At that time, she found that everything she wore and used was better than hers. Now, not long ago, her status has surpassed hers.
Concubine Shen felt blinded and heartbroken by the joy around her. Although everyone seemed to be celebrating, she didn't even have the slightest smile on her face.
She really couldn't pretend anymore, and at this time she also found that even if she didn't pretend to be happy for others, no one would care at all.
She was like a marginal person, no one cared about her at all, maybe one day... she would die and no one would know...
There was a buzzing in Concubine Shen's ears, and she could no longer hear what the people around her said. At first, she was still thinking about being favored, but now, she only had one thought in her mind: it was better not to be favored, at least the emperor would not forget her completely.
Then I really can't survive.
Concubine Shen looked at Shen Qing. She was favored and had the support of the queen behind her. Why did the queen support her?
In fact, Concubine Shen was one of the few people who understood why the Queen supported Shen Qing in the first place.
Shen Qing was not fully recovered yet, so naturally he did not want to keep any guests. After the polite conversation and accepting the gifts, the matter of promotion came to an end.
Just wait until she is fully recovered, put on the royal attire and go to meet the queen.
While Shen Qing was dealing with others, he was not unaware of Concubine Shen. After all, Concubine Shen was the one who could plot against Concubine Yu.
Now that she is in such a miserable state, she doesn't believe that she can't save herself.
As time passed and they finished chatting, others left one after another.
Shen Qing watched them leave, and when they left, she also rested.
Concubine Shen came out of Zhaohua Palace, supported by a palace maid, until they reached a fork in the road, Concubine Shen stopped and asked, "Concubine?"
The palace maid looked at Concubine Shen in confusion, but saw Concubine Shen turn on her toes and walk towards the Queen's Fengyi Palace instead of her own bedroom.
