Concubine Shu's belly is only three months old, and there are still seven months before she goes to the Jokhang Temple. Who knows what will happen in the meantime?
Perhaps because she was afraid of long nights and many dreams, Concubine Li moved Concubine Rong who lived in Changxin Palace out of the palace and let her live in Jingren Palace. She also moved Concubine Shu, who was living well in Jingren Palace, to her Changxin Palace to flatter her. It's called: Taking care of the child in Concubine Shu's belly.
After all, after the child is born, she will be called mother concubine.
In this way, it also eliminated the possibility of Emperor Xuanwu summoning Concubine Xing Shu to comfort her again.
Jingren Palace——
Concubine Rong brushed her hand across the simple yet grand decorations in the hall, and a smile appeared on her lips.
The palace maid Forsythia knelt at the bottom of the main hall: "Congratulations to the empress for being freed from Concubine Li's control. After so many years, the empress has finally come to an end."
"How can there be any joy after suffering? This is what I deserved originally, but now I am just taking back what belongs to me."
What's the use of biological sisters?
When she first entered the palace, Concubine Li arranged for her to be tortured in Changxin Palace. She begged Concubine Shu hundreds of times to tell the Queen Mother to move her to Jingren Palace as well.
What did Concubine Shu say?
She said: "Yao Yao, the emperor is already estranged from his aunt because of his father and brother. The power of the Pei family and the Song family in the court is such that even the emperor has to avoid their influence. We rely on our past relationship with the emperor. It's a little trivial. The relationship between childhood sweethearts was brought to the palace, and it would be great to have a place to live. Now that you are asking aunt to offend the Pei and Song families for us, aren't you making the emperor and aunt even more alienated? "
At that time, she didn't realize there was anything wrong with the "we" she said. At that time, she also felt that they sisters should be like-minded and help each other.
Only later did I realize that "we" were here, and she would always be the only one to suffer. The Emperor was reluctant to let Concubine Shu suffer even a little bit.
They are both sisters, and Concubine Shu has the title of concubine, but she is just a concubine. Concubine Shu could live alone in the main hall of Jingren Palace, but she had to squeeze into Concubine Li's Changxin Palace and be humiliated and bullied by her.
Concubine Shu can be pampered, but if she wants to be pampered, she has to work hard to win one or two from Concubine Li.
Obviously... as long as she said a word, the emperor could arrange for her to go to Jingren Palace, but Concubine Shu was unwilling.
When it was necessary to take advantage of her, Concubine Shu showed no hesitation or soft-heartedness at all.
She kept telling her not to embarrass the Queen Mother when something happened, but every time Concubine Shu was in trouble, which time did the Queen Mother not stand up and protect her forcefully?
The Queen Mother...The Queen Mother always listens to Concubine Shu, and she always only has Concubine Shu in her heart, so why should she count on the two of them anymore?
Zhenbi, it really surprised her!
late at night--
The emperor held the lamp in Changxin Palace, but instead of visiting Concubine Shu, he went to the main hall to visit Concubine Li.
The lights in Hexi Palace flickered, and when Empress Zhu entered with the fifth prince in her arms, Jiang Xinyue was sewing a pair of tiger-head shoes with needle and thread.
Although the embroidery is not particularly beautiful, the stitches are very dense and the pattern is chubby. It is more interesting and cute, and it is obviously very thoughtful.
"Why are you still embroidering these so late? It hurts your eyes to be careful."
"The Queen?"
Jiang Xinyue quickly put down her half-embroidered shoes, stood up and saluted: "I see you, the Queen..."
Empress Zhu freed up a hand to support her: "There is no need to be polite between you and me."
It’s because you’re asking for her, so you don’t have to be polite!
Otherwise, Queen Zhu is a person who values virtual etiquette the most.
Jiang Xinyue smiled and ordered Magpie and Shuangjiang to serve tea, while she stretched out her hand to tease the fifth prince who was still asleep: "I saw such a little person wrinkled before, and it didn't look good. It only took so much effort to grow like this." So cute, it shows that the Queen treats the fifth prince very well."
Empress Zhu loved to hear people praise her for being good to her adopted son. She handed the fifth prince to her with a smile: "She spends most of the day sleeping. The imperial doctor said that such a young child should sleep more to grow well. That's right." I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I don’t dare to ask him to get up to drink milk.”
Jiang Xinyue had never raised a child and looked like she didn't know what to say. In fact, she deliberately didn't reply. She wanted Empress Zhu to stop talking nonsense and get to the point.
There will be another group of people here soon!
Empress Zhu probably knew that Jiang Xinyue was young and didn't like to listen to these parenting lessons, so she asked the nanny to carry the fifth prince down. After waving everyone away, she said: "Did you know that the day you fell into the water, I dragged your feet under the water?" Have your guards been found?"
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "I heard the emperor say it, but didn't he say there were two? The emperor asked my concubine to identify them tomorrow!"
"Um……"
Empress Zhu pondered for a moment, looked at her expression and said: "To be honest, there is one among them, who is my younger brother. He went back to his ancestral home some time ago, and it happened that the emperor was about to hold a martial arts competition, but he could not make it back. . After receiving the summons, he immediately rushed back, but he was intercepted halfway and stabbed his left chest with a gold hairpin. I suspect that someone is fishing in troubled waters, trying to put the crime of killing you on my head. Enter. Concubine Zhen, are you willing to believe that I will never harm you?"
It’s not available for the time being!
When she was in the cold palace, wasn't it the empress who replaced the laxative Jiang Yuan put in the cakes with arsenic?
Afterwards, a fire was created and two maids in the Xihe Palace were burned to death.
If she guessed correctly, the two palace maids were the ones who replaced Empress Zhu's laxatives.
Do you dare to speak so shamelessly because you are already dead and have no evidence to prove it?
Jiang Xinyue looked like she didn't know anything, and said in fear: "What did the Queen say? Since I entered the palace, I have taken care of me, and I have kept it in my heart. How could you harm me?" Where is my concubine! It’s really my concubine’s sin to ask you to explain something special.”
The stone in Queen Zhu's heart fell halfway: "There is another person, do you know who it is?"
Queen Zhu didn't speak fluently tonight, Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "The emperor didn't tell me, and I don't know either."
"He's Jin Zhaoyi's brother."
Jin Zhaoyi?
What's the matter with her here?
Jiang Xinyue originally thought that the other injured person was either Concubine De's brother or a cousin from Concubine Li's clan!
Could it be that Concubine Li was the only one who plotted against Queen Zhu's side, and Queen Zhu didn't fight back?
The confusion on her face was too obvious, and Empress Zhu whispered in her ear: "Jin Zhaoyi's father was once a subordinate of Shu Fei's father. He later reported the Wu family for meritorious service and took over the Wu family's position. But Jin Zhaoyi's brother , seems to have had a kiss with Concubine Shu."
However, this was all spread privately by good people before Concubine Shu entered the palace. No one can tell whether it is true or false.
Empress Zhu didn't need to verify the truth or falsehood. It was just right to be unclear, so that both the emperor and the concubine would believe it.
Jin Zhaoyi belongs to Concubine Li, so it would be best to drag Concubine Li into the water.
I believe the Queen Mother will not let go of this opportunity for revenge.
