Magpie has been serving Jiang Xinyue since she was a child. Not only is she a lady from an official family, her upbringing is no different from that of a lady from an official family. She was actually talked about like this in public.
What's more, her mother-in-law is as noble and beautiful as a nine-day fairy. How can these wretched men talk about her?
She absolutely hated those people, and she was particularly ruthless in her attacks.
The palace people who passed by ran away from each other. It was the magpie's fierce appearance and the indifferent appearance of the concubine that made them dare not approach.
Immediately, someone went to find out why the guard at the gate of Hexi Palace had offended Concubine Zhen.
After asking, I found out that Concubine Zhen was grounded by the Queen Mother again.
This time it’s not a month or two months, but a full half year. That’s half a year and six months!
A new generation replaces an old one in the palace, and the concubines in the palace are full of tricks. The emperor can reject some rotten peach blossoms for the sake of his precious concubines because he likes them temporarily, but he is an emperor, and an emperor cannot keep his integrity for a woman all his life.
The concubines in the harem, who had been silent for a long time and were suppressed by the aura of the concubines, all became active. For a while, everywhere in the palace seemed lively.
The most favored concubines Li Guifei, Shu Concubine and Zhen Concubine were all useless, but Ye Guiren, Jin Zhaoyi, Liang Concubine and De Concubine were favored.
Jiang Xinyue was too lazy to pay attention to the bloody storm outside. Anyway, Emperor Xuanwu's promise was in front of him. No matter how favored outsiders were, no matter how busy the emperor was, he would always take some time to come to Hexi Palace every day and tell stories to the baby in Jiang Xinyue's belly.
On the fifth day of her confinement, the injury on Shuang Jiang's head stopped bleeding. With the persuasion of Xique and Xiao Xuanzi, she took the initiative to come to the main hall to find Jiang Xinyue.
But what she didn't expect was that the person behind the scenes revealed by Shuang Jiang was someone she had never thought of before.
Shuangjiang knelt on the ground with a bleak look on his face: "If your Majesty is jealous of your servants and doesn't want them to serve you anymore, then punish your servants to go to the Clothing Bureau! Before your Majesty entered the palace, I was working in the Clothing Bureau."
Jiang Xinyue helped her up: "Who said that I don't want to keep you anymore? I can see clearly how you treat me. You, Xique, Xiaoxuanzi, and Jiangchuan have been supporting each other since we entered the palace. , the affection in it cannot be replaced by others, I believe that I can feel it in my heart more than my eyes."
Her eyes sometimes lie to herself, but her heart doesn't. She believes that Shuang Jiang is forced to do nothing.
She wiped Shuang Jiang's tears with a handkerchief: "Don't worry, when my father came to the palace last time, I already gave him the letter you wrote. He will go to your house to save your father, mother, and brother." from."
The emperor asked her to tactfully tell her father that she could use this corruption case to deal with the Song family, so she took advantage of the opportunity given by the emperor and asked her father to save Shuangjiang's family.
Shuangjiang cried until she lost her voice. She knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow again. Magpie pulled her and said, "When will you change your habit of kneeling and kowtowing? We in Hexi Palace are all hard-nosed. We, the Queen Mother's people, If you dare to fight, who does that mean?"
Only now did Shuangjiang find out that her mother-in-law actually beat up the Queen Mother's people, and the people from Kunning Palace hadn't come to trouble her until now. They were obviously afraid of her mother-in-law.
She felt that she was so stupid before, and she did those stupid things just because she was afraid of hurting her empress.
In fact, if she had really listened to that person's instructions, she would have harmed Empress Zhen.
After finally appeasing Shuang Jiang, Jiang Xinyue naturally wanted to retaliate now that she knew who was behind the scenes.
Speaking of which, ever since she entered the palace for the draft, the other party has tried every possible way to kill her.
When Jiang Xinyue's soul passed through the original owner, it was the scene where the original owner was slapped and forced to kneel.
If her recollection was correct, it was that person who said that the begonias in the imperial garden were in full bloom and wanted to pick one and wear it in his hair.
Even though the original owner was a very scheming person, she was the best at pretending to be innocent and weak, but her scheming was limited to the backyard of the inner house. How could a mere concubine know that the weeping begonias in the imperial garden were the names of Emperor Xuanwu and Concubine Li? A token of love?
The man picked the flowers, but suddenly said that the flowers would look better on the beautiful head.
Who doesn’t like to hear other people compliment their beauty?
As soon as the original owner took her, Concubine Li rushed up and slapped Jiang Xinyue on the face.
It turns out that she didn’t pick that branch of crabapple at all!
Changxin Palace——
"Empress..."
Xia He whispered a few words in Concubine Li's ear. The sharp beauty who was half-relying on her limp body instantly sat up straight, her eyes widened: "Concubine Zhen is pregnant? Who said this? Is it reliable? reliable?"
The thing in Concubine Shu's belly made her shudder when she saw it. She always felt that it was Concubine Shu's child that killed her child, so she didn't want that nemesis to be her prince.
But if it was born from Concubine Zhen's belly, it would not only make Concubine Shu feel the pain of separation of flesh and blood, but also have a beautiful little prince who is somewhat like herself, she still wanted it very much.
Xia He's eyes were determined: "This servant heard the news from an unknown palace maid, but if you think about it carefully, Concubine Zhen, she has always been cautious and rarely stepped out of Hexi Palace without an invitation. Why did she do this when she knew she was not invited? When the Queen Mother is happy, why should she go to Kunning Palace to give the Queen Mother some useless tea?"
Concubine Li thought for a while: "You mean, she deliberately angered the Queen Mother?"
Xia He nodded: "The Queen Mother wanted to punish Concubine Zhen, so the Emperor Qiao went there, and the Queen Mother Qiao asked the Emperor for Concubine Shu's matter. On the surface, it was because the Queen Mother wanted to punish Concubine Zhen, but in fact It was Concubine Zhen who was playing a game with the Emperor, and the reason for the six-month grounding is to protect the dragon fetus in her belly."
Concubine Li's beautiful eyes were full of disbelief, and she looked up at Xia He: "But the emperor wants to send Concubine Shu to Sheng'an Temple. Maybe the emperor deliberately used the concubine as a shield in order to protect Concubine Shu."
Concubine Li could comfort herself after losing to Concubine Shu. She lost to the young love between the emperor and Concubine Shu, but she lost to Concubine Zhen... Her self-esteem and pride were something she didn't want to admit no matter what.
What is a concubine?
When she entered the palace, she was only a concubine from the fifth-grade Honglu Temple Shaoqing's family. Relying on nepotism, Jiang Shaoqing was promoted to Honglu Temple Qing.
The Song family has been extremely busy recently with the Qinzhou official corruption case, and that old bitch Jiang Yankun dared to enter the palace to complain, saying that the Song family assassinated Jiang Yanxi.
The emperor had just issued an imperial edict the day before yesterday to reprimand his grandfather and father, saying that if Jiang Yanxi died or Jiang Yankun was injured, the debt would be placed on the Song family.
Even if the Song family was not involved in the corruption case, they would still be punished with the same crime.
Listen, is this what people say?
