Chapter 208 Offspring?
The Queen sat in the upper seat and watched the farce.
She has no plans to help Yun Zhao out of trouble for the time being.
She wanted to see how far her own skills could go in this deep palace.
Chen married the emperor because of the previous dynasty. The emperor did not like her and she was rarely favored by the emperor over the years. Although she was given a glorious status on the surface, in the end, the harem had to rely on the emperor's favor to maintain its status.
Now that Yun Zhao favors her, she is naturally unhappy.
In addition, Yun Zhao had no one behind him. In the eyes of these concubines, he was of illegitimate blood but was on an equal footing with them. The imperial concubine was instigated and naturally became increasingly angry.
Everyone was waiting to see the show.
Yun Zhao smiled lightly.
At this time, the eunuch outside announced, "Empress Yi has arrived."
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Are you here to watch the show?
Otherwise, why would he come at this time instead of earlier?
When Concubine Yi entered the room, she looked around and smiled, "Your Majesty, I'm late."
Although he said so, there was a hint of guilt on his face.
The emperor is about to step down, so why should we still show him respect?
Concubine Yi sat down in the front seat and raised her hand to pick up the tea and drink it.
"Sister, how can you still drink tea?" Concubine Chen looked at Concubine Yi, looking quite indignant. "I heard that you and the child were unwell yesterday, and you sent someone to find the Emperor. But some foxy woman used her seductive tricks to seduce the Emperor, causing him to run around the palace late at night."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen looked at Consort Yi with a look of concern on her face. "Are you all right now, sister?"
Concubine Yi sat on the Diaoyutai, watching the fire from the other side. She smiled aggrievedly, pretending to be generous, "It's okay, just a minor problem after giving birth."
Imperial Noble Consort Chen snorted, "My sister is quite tolerant, but some people are ignorant. They look calm and composed as if nothing happened. If you don't know, you might think they are not talking about her."
All the concubines in the room smiled.
Yun Zhao also smiled but said nothing.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen punched the cotton with her fist and had to point out, "Noble Lady Yun, I'm talking to you! How stupid of you to laugh just because others laugh?"
Yun Zhao naturally wouldn't respond unless his name was mentioned.
Now that his name had been called, Yun Zhao smiled faintly and stood up in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. "Imperial Concubine Chen, I really didn't know you were talking about me. Where the Emperor decides to go is his own decision, not mine. If I need to apologize for this, I can apologize to Concubine Yi."
As soon as these words came out.
The expression on Concubine Chen's face immediately turned ferocious. "You!"
Yun Zhao brushed his body and glanced at the smug smile on Concubine Yi's face. "Empress Yi, you too have been greatly favored, yet you are so intolerant. I'll go back and tell the Emperor to come visit you more often."
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this.
The queen sat on the high throne, pursed her lips, and tried hard to suppress her laughter.
It has been many years since I saw Concubine Yi being humiliated.
She never expected that she would be able to see such a wonderful scene even though she was about to die.
Concubine Yi's face darkened in an instant, and the calmness and grace she had been trying to pretend to have were gone.
He gave Lin Ruyu beside him a look, "Yun Zhao, you deserve to die for your crimes! Who do you think you are, to tease me like this? Come on, give me a slap!"
Lin Ruyu was worried that she had no chance, but when she heard Concubine Yi's words, she curled her lips into a smile and walked towards Yun Zhao.
The Queen was about to speak.
But when Lin Ruyu raised her hand, Bie Yunzhao grabbed it fiercely. The next second, Yunzhao threw it away. Lin Ruyu lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Yun Zhao!" Concubine Yi stood up from her seat excitedly, "How dare you attack my people!"
Yun Zhao stood in the hall, smiling, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The Emperor likes my face. If I hurt it, it would hurt His Majesty's heart, so I had to act rashly. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I've said I'll tell the Emperor. If he goes to your place, I'll definitely tell him. Why don't you believe me?"
Concubine Yi was furious, "That's not what I meant."
Yun Zhao was shocked. "So you don't want the emperor to visit you?"
Afterwards, Yun Zhao suddenly understood, "Yes, you have two children to take care of now, so you are naturally exhausted. I will tell the emperor that your body is weak and cannot withstand rain and dew."
Concubine Yi was so angry that she was about to go crazy, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The queen sat on a high seat and asked the maid next to her to grab a handful of melon seeds for her.
Concubine Yi was about to stand up, but was held down by Lin Ruyu, and her shattered rationality was slightly restored.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I have two children to take care of now, but the other concubines have no children yet. It's bitterly cold in the palace, and without children by my side, how can I endure the long nights?"
Concubine Yi sat down again, pulled at the hem of her dress, and said casually, "Right, sisters."
For a moment, everyone was confused and their faces looked unhappy.
The leader among them was Imperial Noble Consort Chen. She was the oldest, and in this palace full of people and gossips, everyone talked about her infertility.
After being provoked by Concubine Yi, Imperial Noble Concubine Chen immediately felt that Yun Zhao's words were directed at her!
She was so angry that the hairpin on her head was shaking. The next second she stood up and said, "You bastard, who are you insinuating about?"
As he said that, he was about to slap Yun Zhao in the face.
The Queen put down the melon seeds in her hand, narrowed her eyes, and was about to speak to stop her when she heard Yun Zhao say something even more bold, "Without children, it's natural to be lonely in the inner court."
After he finished speaking, Yun Zhao's body flashed slightly.
The imperial concubine's slap missed.
"You just hid?!" The imperial concubine was furious!
Yun Zhao smiled slightly and readily agreed, "So these days, the emperor said that he was with me, but it was just me researching how to take good care of your children and make it easier for you noble ladies to get pregnant."
As soon as these words came out.
The entire hall fell into an eerie silence once again.
Even the impulsive imperial concubine was stunned.
"What... did you say?" Hearing Yun Zhao's words, the concubines all stood up.
After all, who doesn’t want to have many children and grandchildren?
However, because she married into the royal family, she needed to appear calm and elegant.
"Everyone, don't forget, our noble lady has the title of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth." The maid behind Yun Zhao reminded them lightly.
There was another belated epiphany on everyone's face!
yes.
I only remembered competing for favor, how could I have forgotten this matter?
"I'm afraid Concubine Yi has forgotten," Yun Zhao said with a smile, looking at Concubine Yi, whose face was stiff. "Your two children were born safely under my care."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of those who had just looked at Yun Zhao with disgust now lit up!
After all, no matter how important the emperor's favor is, can it be more important than offspring?
Of course not!
