Chapter 395

Li Yu'er didn't explain further, so Yan Xiu naturally understood.

With what happened last time, it is understandable for him to have a second time, but it just came from Yu'er's mouth, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Even if it's fake, she doesn't mind?

Yan Xiu hooked Li Yu'er's chin: "You tell me the truth, are you looking forward to pushing me out?"

Li Yuer's head was full of question marks: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"Where is the concubine going to push the emperor?"

Yan Xiu:?
Li Yu'er asked again: "Doesn't the Emperor have a substitute? You also said that Zheng Jieyu will be used by the King of Xixia. If she is pregnant, she will be used better."

Yan Xiu: "Yu'er, why didn't I use Concubine Zheng?"

"Oh," Li Yu'er waved her hand indifferently: "It's almost the same, whether it's Zheng Jieyu or Zheng Concubine, since they communicated with each other and informed the emperor and King Xixia of the contents of the letter, they are also pawns. gone."

The only difference is that some people are willing to be pawns, while others are forced.

Zheng Jieyu was willing to tell the truth, but whether Concubine Zheng was voluntary or not, I don't know.

Li Yu'er was still thinking about the chess pieces, but Yan Xiu's jaw was already lightly pinched.

Yan Xiu slowly raised her chin, looked down into her eyes: "What do you want me to say?"

"You are so smart and magnanimous, you can always guess what I'm thinking, and so, so..."

Yan Xiu couldn't find the right words.

He never thought about having anything to do with other women, even if he had to or had his own plan, it would not be based on betraying Yu'er.

That's right.

In Yan Xiu's view, doing anything out of line with other women is disloyalty to Yu'er.

He had heard this saying a long time ago, but he didn't understand it very well at that time, but now he understands it and wants to do what he wants to do.

Therefore, he also hoped that Yu'er could understand him.

"Well, Zheng Jieyu and Concubine Jiang are not very similar, so my method is also different."

Yan Xiu sighed: "You, take good care of your baby when you are pregnant, don't think about these things anymore, I will make good arrangements."

Li Yu'er leaned into Yan Xiu's arms: "What the emperor said is true, and the concubines listen to the emperor."

She spoke softly, with a slight smile on her cheeks.

It was her blessing to be treated like this by Yan Xiu.

In the evening, Zheng Jieyu still cleaned the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation that was carried away by the eunuchs, and was carried back by the eunuchs in the middle of the night.

Meng Xiurong, who was punishing Zheng Jieyu in the imperial garden during the day, almost broke the veil.

She didn't fall back asleep after hearing that the emperor uploaded Zheng Jieyu's bedtime attendant, until she counted the time, and when she heard her return, she photographed the little palace maid to inquire.

Zheng Jieyu's side was passing water and making noise, it was quite lively.

In the end, it finally calmed down, turned off the lights and fell asleep, but Meng Xiurong, who got the news, stayed almost all night until dawn.

Early the next morning, Meng Xiurong put a thick layer of powder on her face, and finally covered the dark circles around her eyes, making her complexion look a lot more normal.

But even so, when greeting Concubine Su, Meng Xiurong's voice was a little hoarse because of getting angry.

"What's wrong with Meng Xiurong?"

Su Ruoxue looked at her strangely: "But you're not feeling well? Do you need the imperial physician from the palace to help Meng Xiurong take a look?"

Meng Xiurong shook his head: "Madam Concubine Su is worrying too much, my concubine is fine, but I had a cold last night, I will be fine after resting for two more days."

"A cold is a serious matter, so we can't delay it. I greet the Queen Mother today. Meng Xiurong should not go. Let's rest in the palace." Su Ruoxue said with concern.

Before Meng Xiurong could refuse, he ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, and also sent someone to take a step forward to ask for a leave of absence at the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Meng Xiurong watched helplessly as Concubine Su led Cui Xiuyuan, Zheng Jieyu and others away from Purple Bamboo Palace to Compassionate Ning Palace.

She thought, if she knew she didn't need to go to greet her, why would she put such a thick powder on her face to cover her shadow?
Meng Xiurong, who was out of breath, went directly to Concubine Wei's Bamboo Mo Palace without waiting for the imperial doctor to come.

In Zhumo Palace, Concubine Wei Wei Qingyi just woke up.

After being grounded again, she never got up early again.

You don't need to ask for safety, you don't need to go out. It can be said that you don't even need to put on makeup after washing, so what is she doing up so early?
Didn't you torment yourself?

That being said, she was not stingy when it came to making winter clothes, and she also gave a lot of money, hoping to get her palace skirt earlier, and hoping to have a chance to show it off during the festival.

When I heard that Meng Xiurong came, she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror combing her hair.

Wei Qingyi was very surprised: "Why did she come here at this hour? Isn't it time to go to the Palace of Compassion?"

Could it be that the Empress Dowager spared everyone's greetings today?
"Let her in." Although she was puzzled, Wei Qingyi let Meng Xiurong in.

Their relationship can be considered close in the palace.

The reason why she was able to get out of the ban early last time was also due to Meng Xiurong.

Wei Qingyi was still very grateful to Meng Xiurong.

"Greetings, Concubine Wei."

After Meng Xiurong came in, after respecting Fuli, he greeted Wei Qingyi with a hoarse voice.

"Hey, sister, please get up, what's the matter?"

Wei Qingyi's hair hadn't been combed yet, so she naturally sat on the chair without moving.

She winked at Yuxiang and asked Yuxiang to help her up.

Yu Xiang hurriedly put down the comb to help Meng Xiurong.

"Oh." Meng Xiurong sighed.

Wei Qingyi knew that Meng Xiurong had something to say, so she quickly asked her to sit down: "Sister sit down and talk, sister will be fine soon."

Meng Xiurong sat on the chair brought by the little maid.

"Have you heard about what happened yesterday?" Meng Xiurong asked in a hoarse voice.

Wei Qingyi looked at Yu Xiang and asked her if there was anything special yesterday?
Yu Xiang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered: "Last night, the emperor announced that Zheng Jieyu will be in bed again."

Zheng Jieyu?
Wei Qingyi recalled this person in her mind, and finally got a little impression.

"Why is it her again!"

A stranger who had no relationship before, but because she was pushed out by Concubine Su, she was promoted from beauty to Jieyu overnight. She thought she was cooled down by the emperor again. How did she know that the emperor called Zheng Jieyu to sleep with her?

Wei Qingyi also felt uncomfortable, but she still said: "I used to think that it would be good for someone to share Concubine Jin's favor, but I just found out today that such a person still exists."

"Concubine Jin must have not slept well last night."

Meng Xiurong forced a smile and said, "I don't know."

"However, I didn't hear that she was feeling unwell. The Empress Dowager left her in the Ci Ning Palace yesterday. Later, the Emperor also went. The Emperor and Concubine Jin went to visit the Imperial Garden together, and then returned to Yaohua Palace together."

Meng Xiurong briefly explained what happened yesterday.

Wei Qingyi laughed: "This is really interesting, during the day the emperor went to Concubine Jin's Yaohua Palace, why did it spread to someone else to sleep at night?"

"Why didn't the emperor stay in Yaohua Palace?"

Meng Xiurong didn't think about this before, but now hearing Wei Qingyi's words, he couldn't help but frowned and thought deeply.

Yes.

The emperor can say that as long as he enters the harem, he will stay in the Yaohua Palace.

Although the emperor stayed in Yaohua Palace during this time, she always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking of seeing Concubine Jin a few days ago, Meng Xiurong said to himself: "Why are you looking at me, Concubine Jin is getting fat."

eat fat?

The smile on Wei Qingyi's face faded a bit: "Do you know when Concubine Jin's menstruation is?"

Meng Xiurong was slightly startled: "What does Concubine Wei mean, Concubine Jin is pregnant?"

"Think about it, Concubine Jiang became pregnant a few times after she went to bed, Concubine Jin was pregnant every night, even though she was cold and weak and difficult to conceive, but there was Qingye by her side to help recuperate her body, so it's hard to say if she's getting better or not. "

The more Wei Qingyi thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

"It's a pity that my feet are under confinement. Maybe I haven't seen Concubine Jin for a long time. You've seen the people around you. What happened to Xiangyu last time made me feel strange."

It must be related to Concubine Jin, otherwise how could the emperor ground her again?
Various expressions changed on Meng Xiurong's face: "That's right, since the Xiangyu incident, the emperor's attitude towards the noble concubine has eased a lot, and he even went to the noble concubine's palace to have dinner a few days ago."

Before, the emperor had never given a good face to the imperial concubine or empress.

Now there are rumors in the palace that the emperor intends to give the imperial concubine the right to cooperate with the harem.

After all, Concubine Jiang was pregnant, so she could see people when she went to the Compassionate Palace to pay her respects. She was usually in her own palace and rarely saw people.

Her energy is all on her stomach, so she definitely doesn't have much time to manage the affairs of the harem.

"You must tell the empress about this."

Wei Qingyi leaned forward slightly, stretched out and held Meng Xiurong's hand: "The imperial concubine's hands and eyes are open to the sky, so she will definitely be able to find out something."

Meng Xiurong nodded, said something else to Concubine Wei, and left in a hurry.

Hearing that the imperial physician had arrived on the way, Meng Xiurong found out that the Palace of Compassion and Peace had not left, so he went back to the palace to be seen by the imperial physician.

The imperial physician prescribed two medicines for her to let her rest well.

Meng Xiurong knew what was going on with him, and after thanking him, he heard that the Palace of Compassion and Ning had ended, so he led the maids to Xihe Palace again.

On the way, she met Zheng Jieyu.

Zheng Jieyu received a reward today, after leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, she wanted to go for a stroll in the garden, but she just ran into Meng Xiurong who took a shortcut?
The events of yesterday were vivid in his mind, Zheng Jieyu took a deep breath, and Shi Shi ran forward to salute Meng Xiurong.

"My concubine, Meng Xiurong is welcome."

"what are you doing here?"

The so-called "enemies are extremely jealous when they meet", Meng Xiurong was unable to meet the Queen Mother today because of the person in front of him.

She hated Zheng Jieyu very much.

Zheng Jieyu lowered her head slightly, Meng Xiurong couldn't see the expression on her face.

She whispered: "The concubine just wants to visit the garden, there is nothing wrong, but it disturbed Meng Xiurong?"

Ah.

Also learned to talk back!

Meng Xiurong was so angry, but she punished Zheng Jieyu yesterday, and the emperor ordered Zheng Jieyu to serve her bed at night, she didn't want to let Zheng Jieyu have this good opportunity again.

After glaring at Zheng Jieyu fiercely, Meng Xiurong flung the veil and left.

But because she was still a little angry, when she left Zheng Jieyu's side, she lightly bumped Zheng Jieyu's shoulder.

Zheng Jieyu's body wobbled and almost fell, but luckily the palace maid supported her to stabilize her body.

"Jieyu, are you okay?" Xiaoduo asked worriedly.

Zheng Jieyu shook her head, she raised her head to look in the direction where Meng Xiurong left, and murmured strangely: "Why do you feel that Meng Xiurong is a little strange today?"

"Do you want your servant to inquire about it?" Xiaoduo lowered her voice.

Zheng Jieyu shook her head again: "I think I'm going to Xihe Palace to meet the imperial concubine, I don't know why I'm in such a hurry."

Xiaoduo thought about it.

When Zheng Jieyu was having dinner back at her residence, Xiaoduo told her what she had inquired about.

"So I went to Concubine Wei."

Zheng Jieyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her voice was soft and pleasant, and she didn't say anything else.

Xiaoduo also stopped talking and served Zheng Jieyu's meal.

And in Xihe Palace, the meal has already been set, Meng Xiurong came to Xihe Palace at the meal time, so naturally he wanted to stay here to eat.

The imperial concubine's meal is much better than beauty repair.

Meng Xiurong was not favored, and she offended Concubine Jin again in the palace, and she was well aware of the dining room's attitude towards her.

Since the imperial concubine asked her to eat, she naturally did not refuse.

After eating and rinsing their mouths, Yan Xiyue and Meng Xiurong went to sit elsewhere.

Cheng Jieyu and Zhu Jieyu were naturally there too.

Yan Xiyue knew that she had to train some people, and it was inconvenient for her to do many things, so she wanted these people to help her.

Zheng Jieyu and Zhu Jieyu who live with her are two good candidates.

Meng Xiurong is fine too, but unfortunately her status is rather embarrassing. Concubine Wei is good, but Concubine Wei's temperament is too impulsive. She has only been in the palace for two or three months, and she has already been grounded twice.

Yan Xiyue had mixed feelings in her heart, but she couldn't see it on her face, and she called everyone to sit down and drink tea.

Meng Xiurong finally had a chance to say what he had held back for a long time.

"The imperial concubine, what the concubine said is a sign of it. Think about it, the concubine Jin you see these days is different from before."

Yan Xiyue's eyelashes trembled slightly.

How could she not notice?
It is precisely because of the discovery that he did not act rashly.

Yaohua Palace, she couldn't get any news.

"Meng Xiurong said so, and the concubine also looked at it. Recently, the concubine Jin has indeed seen a lot of Fengyun." Zhu Jieyu spoke softly.

Cheng Jieyu thought for a while, and said: "The concubine has seen Yaohua Palace pass meals more often. I heard that Yaohua Palace also has a small kitchen. Listening to the patrolling people's comments at night, there is also a fragrance in the middle of the night."

This is half-truth.

But there is nothing wrong with it, if there is no such thing, no one will stare at the small kitchen of Yaohua Palace and talk about things.

"The empress dowager's attitude towards the concubine Jin has changed a lot." The more Meng Xiurong thought about it, the more she felt it was true: "My concubine, if concubine Jin is really pregnant, her current appearance is not like that of a one- or two-month-old concubine. look."

Cheng Jieyu and Zhu Jieyu looked at each other, and they both saw shock in their eyes.

If it's more than one or two months, then counting forward, this child was conceived during the filial piety.

At that time, they hadn't entered the palace yet, so they didn't know much about the situation in the palace, but they had heard a lot outside the palace about how favored Concubine Jin was.

Not to mention anything else, but the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Jin during the days when they entered the palace, doesn't it just explain all of this?
 I'm back!
  The update starts today, do you miss me?
