Not mentioning the situation with Li Fangrui, but saying that it was Empress Dowager Ding's birthday in the palace, Linlang presented Buddhist scriptures, which indeed made Empress Dowager Ding happy and felt that she was interested.
Because Linlang was not very favored, and had no interest entanglements with her natal girl, and was not an enemy, Queen Mother Ding was not that bad to her, and said a few words to her in a kind manner.
On Empress Dowager Ding’s birthday today, someone did create a big scene. Concubine Cui, Concubine Chen, Concubine Ding, and even Concubine Han brought their own concubines and maids to choreograph songs and dances dedicated to Empress Dowager Ding.
It is said that it is dedicated to Queen Mother Ding, but in fact it is dedicated to the emperor. Because Queen Mother Ding is born, the emperor is naturally present, so the people watching the song and dance, except Queen Mother Ding, are the emperor. This makes Concubine Ding and others naturally want to perform well.
It's a pity that although Concubine Ding and others are good-looking, they are really not as beautiful as Han Pin and Sun Jieyu, so the effect of leading the dance is not as good as Han Pin and Sun Jieyu.
Yes, Sun Jieyu also performed singing and dancing.
Although she was not the head of the first palace, she took her subordinates Gong'e and composed a dance dedicated to Queen Mother Ding.
Sun Jieyu is also a very hard-working person. After all, this song and dance must be arranged. Fortunately, she is not old enough to come up with these things. You know, in other palaces, it is the chief concubine who brings the lower-ranking concubines below to do it together. Those low-ranking concubines who can become concubines are somewhat talented and can help.
As for Sun Jieyu, she asked Gong E to help, which simply couldn't help her. She did it all by herself, and then asked Gong E to practice dancing with her. In this way, she had to arrange the dance by herself, which was not the case. It's a lot of hard work. Linlang would definitely not want to work so hard.
But the effect is good. Concubine Ding and others dance with the lower-ranking concubines. Those lower-ranking concubines are often more beautiful than Concubine Ding and others. The worst is that they have similar looks, so they can't dance in this dance. , the style wins.
But Sun Jieyu was different. She danced with the palace ladies. Those palace ladies were not lucky enough to be selected by the emperor for three years, which means they must have average looks. After all, if they were good-looking, they would have been favored by the emperor and become a low-ranking official. Sun Jieyu was a concubine, so these people danced with Sun Jieyu, just like green leaves and red flowers. Suddenly, Sun Jieyu, who was already beautiful, was as beautiful as a fairy concubine. She was so beautiful that the emperor became more and more attracted to Sun Jieyu. Satisfied.
Concubine Ding and others who saw this scene felt jealous and regretful. They felt that they couldn't do it. In the future, they must find some ugly people to dance with to set off themselves. They could no longer dance with those low-ranking concubines. They cannot set off themselves. Sometimes, they set off others, and their work is in vain.
Therefore, Sun Jieyu became the person who benefited the most from this birthday party, which made Concubine Ding and others very popular, especially Concubine Han.
Ever since Sun Jieyu entered the palace, the emperor did not favor her as much as before, so she wanted to keep her favor. This time, she had prepared carefully for Empress Dowager Ding's birthday, hoping to impress the emperor with this song and dance. , continue to pamper her.
As a result, the songs and dances she choreographed were not as attractive as Sun Jieyu at all. The emperor's eyes went to Sun Jieyu, which naturally made Han Concubine hate her.
Not to mention that Concubine Ding and others celebrated Empress Dowager Ding's birthday, not only did they not get any benefits, but they also felt angry. However, they said that the emperor continued to favor Linlang once a month. Although Linlang was not favored, he was not completely unfavored. Pampering, Linlang's treatment in the palace was considered okay. Although no one gave her more or better to please her, Linlang was satisfied that no one had manipulated her.
Li Xia was also satisfied. After all, being favored depends on fate. It doesn't mean that you can be favored if you want to be favored. As it is now, it is good to be favored a little. It is much better than the emperor not being favored at all.
For example, Huang Concubine and Feng Baolin, who entered the palace with their own girls, are now living a miserable life since the emperor has never found them.
But because my own girls were a bit pampered, unlike them, they were even bullied by some palace eunuchs.
This made Rikka couldn't help but sigh, the palace is really very realistic.
Not mentioning the situation in the palace, but saying that not long after, Li Fangrui married into Prince Qi's palace, and the fighting in the palace at this time also reached its peak - because Sun Jieyu was favored and had more opportunities to sleep with her, she naturally Just got pregnant.
Others who had less opportunities to have sex with her did not get pregnant because they had little time for sex.
After Sun Jieyu became pregnant, the emperor was naturally overjoyed. After all, he was already twenty-five or six years old, and he only had a son and a daughter. In this era, there were very few heirs, so now that Sun Jieyu was pregnant, The emperor was naturally happy.
The emperor then gave Sun Jieyu a steady stream of rewards, and everyone knew that once Sun Jieyu gave birth to a prince, she would definitely be promoted to concubine.
In fact, the emperor wanted to promote Sun Jieyu to concubine at this time. However, Empress Dowager Ding and Empress Dowager Cui both said that Sun Jieyu was not of high birth, and she was promoted to concubine just a few months after entering the palace. It was a bit fast. Well, at least wait until she gives birth to a child and has merit in raising children before she can be promoted.
After hearing this, the emperor agreed, thinking that it would be postponed for a few months anyway, so he would just listen to the arrangement of the two of them.
But who wants Sun Jieyu's child to be born? After all, being favored makes Concubine Ding, Concubine Han and others jealous. She is still pregnant with the child. If she gives birth to a child, she will go further in the future.
Therefore, many people wanted to kill the child in Sun Jieyu's belly, and some even wanted to kill Sun Jieyu as well.
There are many people who think this way. In addition to Concubine Ding, Concubine Chen, Concubine Cui and other three people with big backers, even Concubine Han also thinks so.
It's no wonder that Han Concubine thinks this way. After Sun Jieyu entered the palace and gained favor, it had a particularly great impact on her. After all, she was the one who was favored before, but now she became Sun Jieyu, which caused her status in the palace to be reduced.
More importantly, she has no backer. The only backer is the emperor. Now that the emperor no longer favors her, it will naturally have the greatest impact on her. Unlike Concubine Ding and others, when a new person is favored, it will have little impact on them. Anyway, The emperor's treatment of them remained the same as before. After all, they had a backer and the emperor had to give them a little grace every month. Therefore, Sun Jieyu was favored and had little impact on Concubine Ding and others.
It had little impact on Concubine Ding and others, and the emperor favored Sun Jieyu more. What affected her was the number of times Han Concubine slept with her. After all, there were only so many days in a month. The number of times Concubine Ding and others slept with her remained unchanged, so what happened? She was the one, so Sun Jieyu was favored and had the greatest influence on Han Concubine. This made Han Concubine naturally want to kill Sun Jieyu.
Linlang did not remind Sun Jieyu that these people wanted to kill Sun Jieyu, or the child in Sun Jieyu's belly, because the emperor only had one son and one daughter, and the previous children either died in the belly or were born. No, so the emperor was particularly concerned about Sun Jieyu's pregnancy. He was not stupid and knew that there was a lot of chaos in the palace, so he sent people to secretly protect Sun Jieyu. After all, he finally had another child, and then... If the woman he likes is pregnant, he must protect it.
Since the emperor has sent people to protect her, nothing will happen to Sun Jieyu, so naturally there is no need for Linlang to do anything.
