Concubine Shu's hand touched her tightly wrapped neck. She didn't use much force, it just pierced the flesh and blood, which looked scary.
When she was young, she had seen her brother torture and kill animals many times. She knew that where the hairpin was pricked, it would cause bleeding, but it would not be enough to kill him.
She just didn't expect that she was pregnant with a child, and she almost asked her child to suffer along with her.
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu's dislike for Jiang Xinyue increased.
"How can I blame you?" Concubine Shu shook her head, with a gentle look on her face: "I am the one who took advantage of others. You and I are both victims."
Jiang Xinyue stood up and said, "Let's not talk about those unhappy people."
She took the paper kite from the magpie's hand and shook it: "The weather outside is very good today. I painted a new paper kite yesterday. Would you like to go with me? I heard from the imperial doctor that pregnant women should go out more often." Let’s go and breathe fresh air, the baby will be born with a more lively and cheerful personality!”
She's more lively and cheerful, doesn't that mean she's pregnant with a prince?
This concubine's mouth is quite pleasing.
Concubine Shu smiled softly: "Thank you very much to Sister Zhen for my child. I hope that he will be lively, cheerful, healthy and active as Concubine Zhen said."
He just wanted to put it on the table that he hoped he would give birth to a prince.
Jiang Xinyue did not comment on this, but just smiled, and then waited for Concubine Shu to arrange the travel arrangements, and the two of them went to the Royal Garden together.
For testing Concubine Li, it would be easier to use Concubine Shu.
The wind blows and the clouds move, and chubby butterflies and paper kites fly high into the sky. The imperial garden is full of flowers and the scenery is pleasant. The palace maids and eunuchs passing by always slow down a little to appreciate this beautiful and harmonious picture.
The palace maid next to Concubine Shu glared at Jiang Xinyue who was running and jumping: "Empress, you are Concubine Shu, she is just a concubine, why do you have to give her a good face? Yesterday, you told Concubine Rong about those things that were against your will. What would happen if the words reached the Emperor’s ears? In your heart...you clearly have the Emperor in mind."
The smile on her lips was a bit bitter, and Concubine Shu said helplessly: "If I didn't say that, do you think Concubine Rong would let me go? She is my biological sister, and she knows that I have too many things that cannot be treated humanely. I can only restrain her in the name of my family. As for the emperor, he loves me in his heart, and I also have deep feelings for him. I believe that the emperor will understand my feelings. "
She had no idea that the words she said last night had exhausted the remaining love for her in the emperor's heart.
"Why?"
"Oops! The string of the kite broke and the kite flew away!"
Jiang Xinyue chased for a few steps, then paused, and jogged a few steps towards Concubine Shu: "Sister Concubine Shu, my fat butterfly seems to have flown to Changxin Palace. Concubine... Concubine and Concubine Li. We have old grudges, and I heard that Sister Shufei has a good relationship with Concubine Li, can Sister Shufei go with me?"
Surprise flashed through Concubine Shu's eyes. Her relationship with Concubine Li was not public. How did Concubine Zhen know about it?
What else does she know?
"Sister Shu Fei?"
Tears welled up in Jiang Xinyue's eyes: "You...what's wrong with you? You look so scary. If you don't want to, forget it. I...I can go by myself."
Her voice was not too quiet, and several palace maids and eunuchs who were nearby heard it.
Concubine Shu suddenly came back to her senses and restored her kind smile: "Sister Zhenbi, I misunderstood. I was just thinking about other things, and I had no intention of not going with you."
"That's great."
Concubine Zhen, who changed her face as if she were reading a book, immediately beamed with joy and told Xizhu: "Hold your mother-in-law, don't let her fall."
Xizhu didn't need her to explain, she had already supported Concubine Shu and walked in front of Jiang Xinyue towards Changxin Palace.
Jiang Xinyue, who had mixed up Concubine Shu's mood, followed them in a good mood and did not feel offended by Xizhu at all. The magpie had already arrived at the gate of Changxin Palace first.
The eunuch at the door blocked her way. She looked respectfully and said with a smile on her face: "I am the maid of Concubine Zhen of Hexi Palace. Please go in and let me know. My concubine and Concubine Shu were just letting the kites fly in the imperial garden, but they were not allowed to fly." The string of the kite was broken, and the kite flew into Changxin Palace. Can the palace attendants send the kite out? Or I can go in and get it."
"Hiss!"
Xia He tore the chubby butterfly into pieces and threw it into the pool of Changxin Palace.
When the paper kite comes into contact with water, it immediately faints and turns into a ball of paste.
Concubine Li's face was a little pale, showing a weak and morbid beauty.
She gritted her teeth angrily: "Concubine Shu... she still dares to come? It is because I listened to her and dealt with the concubine that I was rejected by the emperor. She was hidden deeply, and she was actually the person who had been in the heart of the emperor for so many years. She was obviously It was she who couldn't tolerate the concubine, but in the end it was me who took the blame for her."
Xia He clapped his hands and supported Concubine Li: "Madam, now is not the time to vent your anger on them. The most important thing is that you protect yourself."
Concubine Li gritted her teeth: "In order to protect this hard-won child, I deliberately made a big fuss with the emperor, causing the emperor to ground me. Now the imperial doctor also said that my child has been safely conceived. How can we let them have an easy time?"
She waved her hand, not allowing Xia He to persuade her any more, and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
The magpie caught a glimpse of a new color and quickly turned back: "My wife is here."
She turned around and ran away. The eunuchs didn't even react. Magpie was already standing behind Jiang Xinyue.
Because Concubine Shu has a higher status than Jiang Xinyue, she walks two steps back than Concubine Shu. Therefore, Concubine Shu's group is leading the group, and it looks like Concubine Li is confronting Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Shu is looking for Zhiyuan?"
Xia He threw a wet ball of paper from behind, and the stain hit Concubine Shu's feet, staining her moon-white skirt with dirt.
"I'm sorry, Concubine Shu. This paper kite fell into the pool of our Changxin Palace. It was soaked until you came here. It looks like it will never fly again."
Her eyes were very aggressive, as if she was metaphorizing Concubine Shu's current situation.
Xizhu frowned and was about to get angry when Concubine Shu grabbed her hand and looked at Jiang Xinyue: "This kite belongs to Sister Zhenbin. Sister Zhenbin, look at... this..."
What kind of pool water can soak a paper kite that has been covered with a protective film into a soft ball?
It's pool water, not sulfuric acid.
It looked like it had been deliberately torn into pieces and thrown into the pool.
Jiang Xinyue sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Concubine Shu, don't be angry. I will make a more beautiful one for you next time."
She didn't say that this butterfly kite was for her!
Concubine Shu had no choice but to face Concubine Li and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first."
As soon as Concubine Li waved her hand, the eunuchs and maids surrounded Concubine Shu and Jiang Xinyue: "You disturbed my rest, and you want to leave so easily?"
