"It's been more than half a year since Zhen Zhaoyi entered the palace, right?"
After the family banquet was over, the emperor returned to the imperial study to handle political affairs. Empress Zhu left Concubine De, Concubine Liang, and Jiang Xinyue behind.
Before even exchanging a few words, Concubine Liang looked at Jiang Xinyue's belly and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Speaking of it, you are one of the most favored concubines in the harem besides Concubine Li. How come Concubine Rong is pregnant, and you haven't Where’s the movement?”
Although Concubine Rong’s child was not saved, at least she was pregnant!
Jiang Xinyue showed a frustrated look: "Your Majesty asked the imperial physician to show this concubine. The imperial doctor said that I suffered from cold when she was young and her body was broken. She needs to recover for two or three years before she has a chance."
It will be better for her to get pregnant when she is eighteen years old than to get pregnant at sixteen or seventeen now, and her physical fitness will be much stronger when she becomes an adult.
She wanted to be in a high position, but she couldn't risk her own life just for this.
We must also have a life to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Concubine Liang covered her mouth in surprise, as if she didn't expect it to be for this reason. She smiled sarcastically and looked at Concubine De: "Actually, it's nothing. Zhen Zhaoyi is still young. Even if it is two years later, I will also enter the palace." It took several years to get pregnant with the second princess, what do you think, Concubine De?"
Concubine De, who was suddenly called, was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's nothing important. Sister Zhen Zhaoyi's holy pet is still there! Don't worry at this moment."
The two of them were also very good at telling lies with their eyes open, but seeing Zhen Zhaoyi in a slightly better mood because of their comfort, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial doctors all said that it would take two or three years of treatment, but they didn’t know if he would still be able to survive?
Two or three years later, a new beautiful girl will enter the palace. I don’t know what the situation will be like? Will there still be someone named Zhen Zhaoyi in the palace by then?
Even if she is really favored by the emperor and is made a concubine by the emperor, she is just a yellow flower of yesterday and cannot compare with those fresh and tender flowers.
Queen Zhu sat in the main seat, feeling disappointed and happy at the same time.
Disappointed that she couldn't use Zhen Zhaoyi's belly to give birth to a prince who could be named in her own name. Fortunately, since she couldn't give birth to a child, she didn't have the hard requirements to become a queen. If she died, she would just be a concubine.
She still has to find a suitable belly again.
In fact, it would be best if Zhen Zhaoyi could give birth to her. After all, she has excellent appearance and the emperor likes her. If the child she gives birth to in the future is beautiful and well-behaved, the emperor will be partial to her for the sake of her biological mother.
After coming out of Yikun Palace, Jiang Xinyue's face had never looked good.
Magpie and Shuangjiang looked at each other and did not dare to speak. They followed the chariot and walked forward quickly.
"Face faster, don't keep your Majesty waiting."
Jiang Xinyue felt her eyes flicker, and the chariot carried by four people flashed past her.
"Who is that?"
Shuangjiang raised his head and glanced: "Master, that's the mother of Concubine Li."
Concubine Li's maternal grandfather was Zhongshu Ling, the head of the Prime Minister. All the civil servants in Dayan were under his control, including Jiang Xinyue's cheap father.
Therefore, the arrogant Zhongshu Ling's daughter just now is now married to the Prime Minister and becomes the Prime Minister's wife. Concubine Li's mother did not stop walking when she saw her, let alone come down to salute her.
In my heart, I may still feel that Jiang Xinyue has a low status and should give way to her!
This is good...
They all felt that she could not make any trouble, they all felt that she was just a novelty for the emperor to relieve his fatigue, they all wanted to plot against her but they all looked down on her.
In this way, she can survive in the cracks and win over Emperor Xuanwu step by step.
With the Holy Favor, the next step is the Solitary Favor. With the Solitary Favor, everything she wants is at her fingertips.
Those who look down on her will realize that it is too late to think about getting rid of her.
Queen Zhu is worried about her belly, which is not a good thing.
Before going to bed, Jiang Xinyue said to Shuangsheng: "Let the people from the Weaving Department come again tomorrow. I feel like I have gained a lot of weight. Let them measure me. Don't make me smaller for this year's spring clothes." "
Shuang Jiang was a little confused. His master was getting more and more beautiful. It seemed that because he was getting older, his facial features had opened up, adding a bit of mature charm to the girl's delicacy, which made people unable to take their eyes away.
She is not fat, but she seems to be much taller and slimmer than when she first entered the palace.
Thinking this, she nodded: "Yes, I will go there early tomorrow morning."
It's time for the weaving department to release new designs and colors, so go early to pick out more beautiful ones.
Tonight was the magpie's turn to keep vigil. She pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve: "Master, Su Jieyu bribed the little palace maid who was tending the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, and met the emperor by chance in the imperial garden tonight."
On the night of the New Year's banquet, Su Jieyu and Jiang Xinyue wore matching clothes. Emperor Xuanwu ordered her to be dragged out, which already caused her great loss of face. Afterwards, she was fined two months' salary by Empress Zhu.
Su Jieyu tried her best to explain herself away, saying that people from the Weaving Department gave her the clothes and she didn't know about the violation policy.
However, after verification by the Weaving Department, no one admitted that they had sent clothes to Yanqing Palace. The maids in De Fei Palace could testify.
In the end, the matter was settled.
No one thought that the clothes were given by Jiang Xinyue to her good sisters in the weaving department when she was still unmarried.
In the Yan Dynasty, the way for noble ladies to enter the palace was through a draft, while the way for the daughters of wealthy businessmen was to pass the assessment and become female officials in the inner court.
The latter often had special skills and joined the Shang Palace Bureau and the Weaving Department, where they used their talents on the ladies of the palaces and brought a lot of benefits and convenience to the family business.
The original Jiang Xinyue was a close friend of the legitimate daughter of the owner of the largest cloth shop in Beijing. When the original person participated in the talent show, the girl also passed the assessment of the Weaving Department and became the ninth-grade female officer with the lowest rank in the Weaving Department.
They had never had a chance to meet before. It was not until the New Year's banquet was about to begin that the emperor asked people from the Weaving Department to send designs to Hexi Palace for precious ones to choose from. The girl didn't know that her good sister was already the emperor's favorite concubine.
While excited, the two couldn't help but talk about their current situation. Most of the time, the girl was talking and Jiang Xinyue was listening.
I just asked her to do a small favor and make two almost identical clothes from the palace satin she chose. One was more gorgeous for her to wear at the New Year's banquet, and the other was falsely claimed to be for precious women. The clothes were damaged when Rong was cutting them.
Damage to the fabric was not an important matter in the Weaving Department. The maid from Hexi Palace testified to her, and no one doubted it at all.
Although Su Jieyu was crying, her appearance was indeed pretty good. Emperor Xuanwu was a member of the Appearance Association, and even raised snakes of the most fancy kind without fear of being poisoned.
Jiang Xinyue believed that Su Jieyu would win over Emperor Xuanwu and trust her.
"Master..." Magpie frowned, half-lying on the footrest: "Is the real murderer who killed our little love Jiang really Su Jieyu?"
She looked soft and weak, and cried easily. After being in the palace for so long, word spread throughout the palace that she was made of water and was very timid and cowardly.
How could such a person do such a cruel thing?
Xiao Aijiang is such a cute little puppy. Looking back now, the magpie feels distressed.
