Jiang Xinyue didn't care about the fight in the dressing room, unless Fang Rumeng begged him.
Everyone has their own destiny. If Fang Rumeng wants to move forward, she must have the ability to handle this situation.
Otherwise, no matter how much Jiang Xinyue helps her, she will be pulled down one day.
And Hexi Palace is also facing a big problem!
Empress Zhu led Concubine De and Concubine Liang here. The three of them sat on the main seat and on the left and right of the main seat, which made Jiang Xinyue, the owner, look more like an outsider.
There was no emotion on her face, but she was thinking in her heart: What is coming is inevitable.
It was probably the person behind the scenes who knew about her pregnancy and spread the news about her keeping the baby behind closed doors.
Queen Zhu looked quietly at Jiang Xinyue who was kneeling on the ground, and saw that she was wearing a loose nightgown with a light gauze embroidered bird blouse. She was not wearing makeup, but she still looked delicate and pretty. It is very comfortable and eye-catching.
Concubine Liang and Concubine De looked at each other and wanted to speak, but because the Queen Zhu above them had not yet spoken, they did not dare to let Jiang Xinyue get up rashly.
Jiang Xinyue secretly raised her head to look at Queen Zhu, frowning, her eyes full of grievances.
This peek was very timely. Empress Zhu seemed to have just seen her and raised her hand: "Why are you still kneeling, Concubine Zhen? I heard that you are pregnant, so why don't you sit down quickly? If you are kneeling, It’s not easy for me to answer to the emperor for my good deeds.”
He went straight to the point without even a polite word, which showed that Queen Zhu was really anxious.
But it's no wonder. Generally, if a concubine in the harem is pregnant, she will be registered by the Jingsi Office and then reported to the queen. The queen will choose a good time to inform the emperor, and the emperor will reward him based on his love for the concubine.
Forget it for others, there is a way to hide it in order to prevent being harmed, but Zhenbi is hers, and when it turns out that Zhenbi is pregnant, she has to get the news from other people.
Isn't this to prevent her as a queen?
Jiang Xinyue looked guilty, not daring to look at Empress Zhu, and asked in a low voice: "Is the empress angry because I concealed the pregnancy?"
Seeing that she asked so directly, Concubine Liang said quickly: "It's true that you kept it a secret so closely. What relationship do we have? Could it have harmed you? Look at Concubine Li's group. Concubine Li has no children. Jin Zhaoyi, Zhang Ronghua and the others in the past are not allowed to have children. If you look at me and Concubine De, they have already given birth to children. Could it be that the Queen allows us to have children but not you?"
Concubine De also nodded in agreement: "In the past, the imperial doctor said that you were in poor health and it would be difficult to get pregnant. Now that you are pregnant, we are all happy for you! Don't break the Queen's heart."
Jiang Xinyue touched her belly that was not yet pregnant and explained: "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but the emperor was also there when I was diagnosed with a happy pulse. The emperor said that my pregnancy is a happy event, and I have to go to Kunning Palace to give it to the Queen Mother. If you tell me the good news, maybe she will forgive you."
She looked puzzled: "The big red robe in Jiuyun Mountain was given to me by the emperor. I don't know why the Queen Mother got angry when she saw it, and said she would beat me fifty pieces. I was frightened." They were all frightened to death. Fortunately, the emperor arrived in time, otherwise my life would have been lost. The Queen Mother said that she did not want Concubine Shu to go to the Jokhang Temple, so the emperor said that I would be banned for half a year as a concubine. But regarding the conditions for praying at Sheng'an Temple, I didn't even know what happened, so I was sent back to Hexi Palace by the emperor. I didn't even have time to tell the Empress, Sister De Fei and Sister Liang Fei!"
Just put the blame on the emperor. Anyway, the two of them did this together. Even if Empress Zhu tried it, she wouldn't be able to find out anything. She might also anger the emperor. She shouldn't be so stupid.
Liang Fei's face turned pale again: "Your Majesty, he..."
Did you actually do this for the sake of concubine Zhen?
Jiang Xinyue blinked her big innocent eyes: "Empress, you have a lot of money, please forgive me!"
"What did my beloved concubine do wrong? Do you want the Queen's forgiveness?"
Emperor Xuanwu, wearing a dragon robe, strode in from outside the door, guarding the "poor little concubine" behind him like a protective calf: "If she was pregnant and refused to report it, I asked her to keep it a secret, Queen. If you are angry, just come to me."
All I have to say is: Why are you embarrassing a little girl?
Except for Jiang Xinyue, everyone at the scene looked unhappy, especially when Emperor Xuanwu rushed in like this, as if the three of them were so terrifying that they could kill Concubine Zhen.
Queen Zhu's lips even trembled. They had been married for more than ten years, and he didn't even have this little trust in her.
"Your Majesty made a mistake..."
"The Emperor misunderstood."
Jiang Xinyue cut off Concubine De's words, poked her head out from behind the emperor, smiled and said: "The Queen brought Sister De Concubine and Sister Liang Concubine to see me. I was joking with the Queen just now, but unfortunately Your Majesty, you It’s coming.”
Concubine Liang also knew that she had to give Empress Zhu a step down, so she immediately answered: "Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Zhenbi's pregnancy is such a happy event, so she told us, and we were just talking about punishing her. She is a spoiled child. , I know that the Queen has soft ears, so I am acting coquettishly with the Queen!"
The four women colluded with each other, and Emperor Xuanwu was embarrassed. Seeing this, Jiang Xinyue squeezed his hand and whispered in his ear: "But the emperor's concern for me is felt by me, and I am very touched. Before going to bed at night, I will tell the baby in her belly that his father loves him very much."
Emperor Xuanwu devoted more affection to Jiang Xinyue's belly than all the children in the harem combined. He was happy to hear her praise him in front of the child, even if the child was not born yet.
Empress Zhu and others watched helplessly as the emperor, who was originally angry and might have angered Concubine Zhen, was easily coaxed by a few words and looked at Concubine Zhen with tender eyes.
Then, Concubine Zhen issued an eviction order and let the emperor leave directly.
Miraculously, not only was the emperor not angry, but he kissed the top of Zhen's head and said to Empress Zhu: "Queen, I am too nervous about Zhen. Don't take it off. Hexi Palace is not at peace during this period. I'm really scared. Let Yikun Palace hold the lamp tonight, and I'll go see the fifth prince."
After saying that, he glanced at Concubine Zhen again, as if to say: I have done everything you asked, are you satisfied now?
Concubine Zhen put her palm on her lips and kissed her, then waved to the emperor. The emperor grabbed his hand in the air, as if catching the kiss, stuffed it into the clothes on his chest, and patted it to show that he would Keep that blown kiss away properly.
The emperor also allowed such an act of transgression, and the wind in the palace was indeed about to change.
Concubine Li once ridiculed Jiang Xinyue as a yesterday's flower, a flash in the pan, but now the person who responded to this sentence seemed to be Concubine Li herself.
