Empress Zhu never thought of hiding her feelings in front of Emperor Xuanwu, because she knew that this harem had no secrets from the emperor.
The emperor knew everything she did.
But she is the queen of the middle palace. If the concubine disrespects her, she has the right to deal with it, regardless of whether it is acceptable or not. This is the dignity and respect that Emperor Xuanwu gave her as his first wife.
She hates Concubine Li and her ilk, and he knows it very well.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Jiang Xinyue with a tenderness that he didn't even realize: "Zhenji... is indeed very good."
She never said anything bad about any concubine in front of him, and she never gave anyone else eye drops.
If she thinks something is good, she will treat it with sincerity, like a queen, a good concubine and a virtuous concubine.
What she felt was bad was that she was not even willing to do superficial things and kept a distance from the other person.
Just like today's barbecue banquet for other concubines, even if they are at odds with Concubine Li, Jiang Zhaoyi and others, they have already been invited. In order to maintain their kind and generous persona, Concubine Li and others will also be invited.
Jiang Xinyue made her likes and dislikes obvious.
Emperor Xuanwu liked such lively people who did not put on masks.
The sound of singing and dancing came from Hexi Palace, and the smell of meat overflowed.
Concubine Li, who came to Chengqian Palace to deliver tonic soup to Emperor Xuanwu, looked at the lingering white smoke above Hexi Palace, her eyes becoming colder and colder.
La Yue took a cautious look and said, "Mother, do we want to..."
"Get off and go back to the palace."
Concubine Li held the hand of the twelfth lunar month and sat on the sedan chair: "I will not eat food brought here."
She came to Chengqian Palace to deliver nourishing soup. If the emperor left with her, it would be Zhenji who would be embarrassed. But if she snatched someone away and took it to Hexi Palace, causing such an embarrassment, where would she put her face?
Cries were also heard from time to time in the Yanqing Palace: "She targeted me on purpose. She knew that I was living in the Yanqing Palace of Empress De, and invited Concubine De to go, but she just left me behind. She deliberately embarrassed me, Winning Concubine De to deal with me."
Shuhua felt that his master's idea was too extreme, so he advised: "Master, don't think too much. Empress Zhenji doesn't know you, how could she deliberately target you? I heard that Zhenji is the empress's wife, She should have a good relationship with Concubine De and Concubine Liang."
"On the day she moved to the palace, the emperor came to my place. He was probably thinking about how to get revenge on me!"
Thinking about it, Su Jieyu started crying again.
Jiang Xinyue didn't know what was happening outside Hexi Palace, and she had a row with the eldest princess, second princess, and third prince until late at night. The young masters were too sleepy to end the lively "family banquet."
There is a wing room in Hexi Palace. It was a hot spring pool built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to please the emperor when the palace was first built.
It was already an hour after Jiang Xinyue and Emperor Xuanwu came out of the hot spring.
The splashing water beside the hot spring was already telling the waiting palace ladies that they were not needed inside.
Looking at Jiang Xinyue, who was without any scheming and smiling, Emperor Xuanwu nestled in her neck and hair: "My dear concubine, give me a little prince!"
The palace was lonely and he couldn't stay with her all the time, so it would be good to give her a child.
He was destined to live up to this affection, so he might as well favor her.
I can't give it sincerely, but I can love you.
Jiang Xinyue was frightened. She was only fifteen years old. She didn't want to have children, at least until she was eighteen years old.
In ancient times, women gave birth before their bodies were fully developed. Many people lost their lives due to difficult childbirth, but she was unwilling to do so.
Did the Dog Emperor think that letting her have a child was a gift to her?
"Why the little prince? Can't it be the little princess? If the concubine gave birth to a princess, wouldn't the emperor like her?"
"What nonsense?"
Emperor Xuanwu flicked her forehead: "If I give birth to a cute little princess like you, I will choose a good husband like me for her."
But say goodbye!
Jiang Xinyue doesn't want her daughter to marry a stallion in the future.
She traveled to the harem and became the concubine of Emperor Xuanwu. She had no choice but to compete for favor and compete with so many women for a man.
Her daughter cannot go back to her old ways.
In the future, her daughter's consort must love and respect her daughter. If they cannot be together for the rest of their lives, they are not allowed to marry her daughter.
Playboys, don't get involved.
On the second day of greetings, Concubine Li said she was ill and did not come.
Jiang Xinyue thought that maybe the emperor had a meal at her place last night, had a bonfire party, and talked with the queen and others, which made her sick.
After the meeting, Jiang Zhaoyi led Wan Guiyi and Jin Chongyi to wait on her way back to the palace.
"Snapped!"
Su Jieyu knelt on the ground, received a slap on the face from Jiang Zhaoyi, and could only cry silently.
"Su Jieyu has been pampered by the emperor for two days. Don't you know how much you weigh? How dare you block the way of Empress Jiang Zhaoyi. We who have been here here would like to advise you. The emperor only has Concubine Li in his heart. You don't know The sky and the earth are nothing but the emperor’s playthings.”
"Playthings should have the consciousness of being playthings. Don't think that by doing something sensational, you can outshine others and jump up and down like a clown."
Jiang Xinyue Shiran walked over and knelt down in a perfunctory manner: "I'm paying my respects to my three sisters. What's going on?"
She stood up on her own, not giving Jiang Zhaoyi a chance to deliberately embarrass herself.
Jiang Zhaoyi is not an idiot like Chu Jieyu and dare not conflict with her head-on.
"Sister Zhenji came just in time."
Jiang Zhaoyi raised her eyes and said: "I heard that you and Su Jieyu entered the palace at the same time, and they must have some friendship. I was just walking on the road, but she blocked my way. Do you think she should be beaten?"
How are you trying to beat Su Jieyu?
He clearly wanted to slap Jiang Xinyue in the face.
"Then Su Jieyu was too careless."
Jiang Xinyue said "tsk tsk" twice: "With such a big road, Su Jieyu should have two more eyes on the back of her head. When she saw it was Empress Jiang Zhaoyi, she had to run away immediately. After all, you are young, so running a few more steps won't hurt. You have to respect the old and love the young, you know?”
In a roundabout way, he said that Jiang Zhaoyi was old and her appearance had faded, so she should make way for newcomers, and should not rely on her old age to bully newcomers based on her seniority.
"Respecting the elderly" was meant for Su Jieyu, and "loving the young" was meant for Jiang Zhaoyi.
"There are still things to do in the concubine's palace, so I won't bother Sister Jiang Zhaoyi to set rules for the newlyweds."
She waved her handkerchief and made a squatting salute, then held the magpie's hand and walked leisurely to Hexi Palace.
Jiang Zhaoyi was so angry that she slapped Su Jieyu twice.
Jiang Xinyue does not have the kindness to be a savior. If she can, she will not meddle in others' affairs. This is her rule of survival in the harem.
Since she traveled through time and became a concubine in the harem, she did not come here to make friends. Her goal is very clear, to be the beloved concubine in the harem.
