"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration!" Shen Ruoyi thanked her hurriedly.
Concubine Duan snorted: "You are sensible, and you are grateful! Didn't you look at Concubine Jin? Mongolians are watching every yard of the palace gate, guarding it like an iron barrel. After so long, did you see her coming? Please give me your blessing once?"
"Noble Concubine! The Golden Concubine is actually authorized by the Emperor and this palace. There is Mongolian sentiment in it. Do you want to take care of it?" Queen Nala's face looked very ugly.
"How can I, my concubine, have that much ability? I just want to avenge my misfortune. You, the queen, are really cowards!"
"No matter when, I am the queen and she is the concubine, she cannot get past me. The concubine should not stir up trouble!"
Concubine Duan curled her lips and said in a long tone, "Yes! The Queen said so!"
Concubine Duan was unhappy when she saw Xiang Concubine rolling her eyes at her, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Xiang Concubine! You are so brave. You dare to be disrespectful to me. Do you want to rebel?"
"Concubine, what are you doing! This is my Kunning Palace, not your Yikun Palace!"
Concubine Duan rolled her eyes and said, "No matter where you are, Xiang Concubine committed the following crime just now, and I have no choice but to punish her!"
"Queen, I was wronged. I didn't do anything!" Xiangbi cried, "I don't know why your concubine suddenly did this to me?"
"Why are you crying? The Emperor is not here either. Who can show you the pretentiousness!" Concubine Duan scolded: "Do you really think that I am someone who is easy to bully?"
"I don't dare, concubine..."
"Okay!" Queen Nala said with a sullen face: "Everyone is so angry, don't get together, just disperse!"
With that said, the queen turned and left, and everyone could only look at each other and leave.
"Wait a minute, sister Jiabi, wait a minute, sister," Shen Ruoyi looked back and saw that it was the queen's sister, now He Guiren.
"Is there something going on with the noble lady?" Shen Ruoyi asked politely.
"It's nothing. I just thought that I would live with my sister soon. I want to talk to her more." He Guiren said with a smile on his face, "Why don't we go together? Anyway, the servants are here." I’m moving things to my sister’s place!”
Shen Ruoyi had no choice but to agree, and the two of them walked slowly towards Chuxiu Palace.
"Sister, how many months have you been pregnant?" On the way, He Guiren looked at Shen Ruoyi's belly and asked.
"Almost six months."
"That's great, it looks like it's definitely a boy!" He Guiren said while walking. "Sister will definitely be very lucky in the future. From now on, concubines will follow my sister, so I have to take good care of my sister!"
Shen Ruoyi looked at He Guiren thoughtfully and said: "He Guiren, you are a queen from a famous family and the queen's clan sister. Why do you need concubines to take care of you?"
"Look at what my sister said. She is just a tribe sister, not a biological sister. How can she..." He Guiren hurriedly covered his mouth as he spoke, looked around, and stuck out his tongue, "I almost said the wrong thing again. "
Shen Ruoyi asked strangely: "Why doesn't my sister live with the Queen?"
"Then it's not as convenient as living with my sister!" He Guiren laughed and laughed.
These words are nothing at all, but in Shen Ruoyi's ears, they are particularly scary. If she insists on living with her, could it be because of her belly?
"We may not be sure who will have great fortune in the future. Let's take care of each other!" Shen Ruoyi smiled and slowly distanced herself. Guizhi stepped forward without leaving a trace, standing between the two of them.
"Sister, you are so polite," He Guiren smiled sweetly.
But Shen Ruoyi has been in the palace for many years, how could she not know that these biting dogs never bark!
In the blink of an eye, a few days later, it was Queen Nala's Qianqiu Banquet. The palace had prepared it early, and the concubines were waiting outside the door to pay their respects to the Queen.
But the queen never summoned her. After a while, Nian Yu came out and said to everyone: "The emperor will go to worship the ancestors with the queen later. Let the slaves come out and say, young masters, please go back first. The banquet will be held later." See you. It will disappear in a moment."
"This..." Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
Concubine Duan said unhappily: "Okay, I'll go back first. It's very cold this morning."
Seeing the imperial concubine leave, some of the people wanted to leave, while others followed the crowd and stood and watched.
At this time, Concubine Shu said: "Today is the Queen's happy day. Wouldn't it be too disrespectful for us to leave without greeting the Queen? Why don't we kowtow a few times outside? It is also our filial piety. .”
Everyone said yes.
Only Shen Ruochen, who had come with his sister, stood outside and pouted. It was so early in the morning, the dew on the ground had not dried yet. When people said they were gone, they kowtowed and knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times. This was not a pure act. Are you sick?
Just listen to Concubine Shu's voice, "It's inconvenient for me to be pregnant, so just stand and be respectful."
Isn't this a proper way to be special? Sure enough, Shen Ruoyi's voice came out, "How can that be done? The child in my belly also wants to pay his respects to his mother-in-law!"
Shen Ruochen couldn't help but nodded, sister is still smart! If so, you might be fooled.
After waiting boringly for a while, everyone came out one after another. The hems of their clothes and skirts were also wet. It could be seen that they were stained by dew during the salute. They all went back to the palace to change clothes.
"Ouch!" Shen Ruoyi made a small voice, and her face became more and more ugly. Shen Ruochen hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and then realized that Shen Ruoyi was already breaking out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but ask: "Sister ,What’s wrong with you?"
"Don't yell!" Shen Ruoyi held Shen Ruochen's hand and said reluctantly: "I'm going back to the palace soon, don't come out yelling!"
"But sister, can you hold on? Do you feel sick in your stomach?" Shen Ruochen looked around and asked in a low voice.
"If you can hold on, let's go!" Shen Ruoyi gritted her teeth. Fortunately, she was not far away, and she was dragged back to her palace.
Shen Ruoyi couldn't bear it any longer, let out a sigh of relief, and fell directly to the ground.
Shen Rangchen said anxiously: "Go and ask for the imperial doctor quickly! Someone is coming! Hurry!"
But Guizhi said anxiously: "Fifth Miss! This is the Queen's Qianqiu. According to the rules of the palace, you are not allowed to invite imperial doctors during the New Year and holidays!"
Shen Ruochen's eyes widened, "What? There are still these rules! Then... what should I do? There is no other way?"
"You can only report it to the emperor or queen." Guizhi said.
"Then go quickly!" Shen Ruochen was very anxious.
"No! You can't go!" Shen Ruoyi pulled Guizhi and said weakly: "The emperor wants a healthy child. He is still the queen's daughter, so he must not ask for an imperial doctor."
"But sister, if there is something wrong with the child..."
"It's okay! Maybe I was tired just now, I'll just take a rest! My stomach doesn't hurt," Shen Ruoyi insisted, "Besides, you can't say it's for the Queen, right? This is not for others. Are you talking?"
"But sister, you're like this, it's nothing to do!" Shen Ruochen rolled his eyes and told Guizhi, "Go find Dr. Leng and ask him to come quietly!"
"No……"
"Sister!" Shen Ruochen said anxiously: "Come in quietly, no one will know!"
"It's a serious crime to ask the imperial doctor privately. If you find out about the imperial doctor Leng, you'll be dead!" Shen Ruoyi said weakly: "Not only him, we are also guilty of the crime!"
"Sister! Sister, why did you come back by yourself without waiting for me?" Suddenly, He Guiren's voice came from outside the door, and the voice got closer and closer, "Sister? Sister, what are you doing?"
"We can't let her know! No!" Shen Ruoyi said anxiously.
"Sister! What are you doing? I'm coming in, sister!"
"What should we do?" Guizhi stamped her feet anxiously, "If she knows, the Queen will also know. Isn't it possible that we are deliberately causing trouble for the Queen?"
Shen Ruochen rolled his eyes, "Guizhi, you take care of your sister here, I'll go!"
With that said, Shen Ruochen picked up the teapot on the side and walked out.
He Guiren has already reached the second door, "Sister, the clothes you just wore were so beautiful, I...ah!"
Guizhi pricked up her ears and heard Shen Ruochen's voice, "Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. He, I want to pour some hot water. I didn't see you. Your clothes... oh, let me wipe them for you."
"No need," He Guiren said unhappily: "Miss Shen, why are you in such a hurry? You're too rash!"
"I'm sorry!" Shen Ruochen apologized profusely, "Look, these clothes are stained. Why don't you go back and change? This is the Queen's happy day, so don't be rude."
"Huh!" He Guiren walked away angrily.
Everyone felt relieved, and Guizhi whispered: "Master, our fifth young lady is quite smart! We left with the nobleman, and judging by the time, we shouldn't have time to come here."
"Take off my pants, why do I feel wet?" Shen Ruoyi ordered weakly.
"Sister, I'm leaving with you!" Shen Ruochen opened the curtain and said with a smile, "See how good I am!"
Shen Ruoyi smiled weakly, and before she could speak, she heard Guizhi cry out with an "ah".
"What's wrong?" Shen Ruochen looked over quickly and took a breath of cold air, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Ruoyi looked at the two of them fearfully, "I...I saw red?"
"That's not the case," Guizhi said hurriedly, "There is just water, yes...it's you, master..."
"Sister, did you pee?" Shen Ruochen blurted out.
"What are you talking about!" Shen Ruoyi wanted to die on the spot, "I am such a big person, how could I...maybe I can't control it!"
"Yes," Shen Ruochen scratched his head, "Then what's going on?"
The three of them have never given birth to children, so naturally they don't understand. Guizhi said, "Why don't I ask Grandma Wang? She will definitely know."
Shen Ruoyi was also afraid, so she nodded. Aunt Wang was sent by the emperor and should not harm anyone.
"Xiao Wu, you... Hey! Hey! Where are you going?"
At some point, Shen Ruochen ran out without looking back.
Guizhi said fearfully: "Master, the Fifth Miss is... not going to tell the Queen..."
