Empress Zhu was not the kind of person who wanted to save face and suffer. Jiang Xinyue offered her a good deal, so she accepted it happily.
After the emperor left, he asked with concern: "What's going on? Aren't you grounded? Why did the emperor say that Hexi Palace is not peaceful?"
Apart from Concubine Li, who deliberately revealed the news to her and wanted to sow discord between her and Concubine Zhen, who else knew that Concubine Zhen was pregnant?
It is impossible for Concubine Li to take action. Their old rivals have been fighting for so many years, and they have never seen Concubine Li attack pregnant women and children.
However, she does not rule out using others. For example, this time she wanted to borrow her own hand, except Zhenbi's child.
Empress Zhu thought that Concubine Li had taken her for granted. Not to mention that as a concubine, it was impossible for her to sit on the throne of the queen. Even if she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, she would at most be a concubine like Concubine De and Concubine Liang. Since it doesn't threaten her status, why should she be such a villain?
Besides, she was one of the few people who knew that the emperor had spies in the harem.
If she takes action with the front foot and ends up being accused in front of the emperor, then she, the queen, has done her best.
She would not do anything like digging her own grave. Concubine Li's wishful thinking was wrong.
Jiang Xinyue sighed and said worriedly: "I don't know who wants to harm me. When I first found out I was pregnant, the imperial kitchen sent me a bowl of chicken soup with red flowers. Later, I raised it." The poisonous insects that can cause pregnant women to have miscarriages were found in their dogs. From then on, the emperor sent two nuns to my concubine, saying that they knew more and could take care of me."
"Mammy?"
Concubine De raised her eyes: "What kind of mama?"
Jiang Xinyue said to the magpie: "Go and invite Grandma Li and Grandma Xiang to come."
"But Aunt Li who is serving in Chengqian Palace?"
"probably!"
Jiang Xinyue replied with a smile: "The Emperor said that Grandma Li used to live in the Queen Mother's palace, and later she was sent to the Emperor. She has served the Emperor for twenty years and asked the concubines to treat her with courtesy."
That's it.
Empress Zhu was thankful that she had chosen to come here to explore the situation today. Otherwise, if she had rashly attacked Concubine Zhen, she would have been involved.
Grandma Li is the head of the Chengqian Palace. She can take care of the imperial place of Chengqian Palace, without any secrets. She can manage the palace maids and eunuchs obediently. She is definitely not a simple person. figure.
Li and Xiang entered the inner hall and greeted the masters in the hall with exactly the same movements.
Concubine Liang and Concubine De did not dare to accept Aunt Zhao's gift and turned away slightly. Only Jiang Xinyue, who was heartless, accepted the gift with a smile.
It seems that she really doesn't know how powerful Nanny Li is.
Although I have never seen that Aunt Xiang before, her face is serious and her eyes are firm and clear, and she does not look like an ordinary person.
After the two nuns paid their respects, they quietly withdrew. Concubine Liang's face was not very good-looking when the emperor was protecting Jiang Xinyue, but now, it was really ugly.
She couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I would say that the most blessed one in this palace is Concubine Zhen. I'm afraid that after you give birth to a child, the emperor will make you a concubine. In just one year, you have gone from being a concubine to a concubine." Now that you have ascended to the throne of concubine, you might as well teach me what method you used to captivate the emperor's heart."
Jiang Xinyue laughed. Why didn't this good concubine just say that the emperor was possessed by a ghost?
She was always so awkward.
When Jiang Xinyue was in trouble, she cared more than anyone else. Once Jiang Xinyue was favored, and the more favored she was, the better off she was, the better the concubine seemed to be.
These are some of the fake best friends in later generations. When you are having a bad day, she will greet you and care about you. When you are doing well, she will be jealous of you, ridicule you, and will find ways to drag you into the quagmire, not allowing you to be a more dazzling moon than her.
"Sister Liangfei is always so outspoken."
Jiang Xinyue said in a joking tone: "I am not even a noble concubine now, so Sister Liangfei is inciting me to ask for gifts from the Queen? I am not like Sister Liangfei who knows the foresight and does not know how the emperor will reward me. "
"Sister Liangfei asked me why I bewitched the emperor. I should ask the emperor. After all, he was the one who was fascinated by me."
The implication is that if I am not fascinated by the emperor, it is useless for you to ask me. If you have the ability, ask the emperor. Don't be weird here.
Liang Fei was so angry that her face turned blue and white.
This is the first time Liang Fei has seen such an aggressive side.
Empress Zhu coughed slightly, and the good concubine put out the fire and glanced at Jiang Xinyue angrily. Her face looked like a vixen who had been cultivated.
Jiang Xinyue also glared back at Liang Fei, not afraid of her at all.
Liang Fei still thinks that she is the same Jiang Xinyue who even smiled when she was insulted!
Get used to her!
Concubine De took a sip of the warm tea that had cooled down: "With Nanny Li here, Sister Zhenbi can prepare for the birth with peace of mind. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must tell Nanny Li immediately. She was once in front of the Queen Mother. Red man, when the late Emperor's harem was in turmoil, the Queen Mother was afraid that the Emperor would be poisoned, so she sent Nanny Li to serve in front of the Emperor. With her protecting you, Sister Zhen, no one can hurt you or your family in the future. child."
Jiang Xinyue's eyes were fixed on Concubine De, as if she wanted to make a flower out of her face.
Concubine De looked back in confusion and touched her temples: "What's wrong? Sister Zhenbi is looking at me like this. Is there something on my face?"
Empress Zhu and Concubine Liang both looked over and made sure there was nothing wrong with Concubine De's face before looking at Jiang Xinyue again.
"It's something."
Jiang Xinyue blinked: "Sister De Fei looks a bit good today."
Knowing that she had a bad relationship with the Queen Mother, he deliberately told her that Aunt Li was a member of the Queen Mother, so that she could subconsciously distance herself and guard against Aunt Li, suspecting that she was part of the Queen Mother's group and wanted to harm her.
As long as she alienates Aunt Li and doesn't reuse her, there will be many places where she can do evil things in Hexi Palace.
But he also hinted to Jiang Xinyue that Grandma Li was very capable. As long as she was here, the Hexi Palace would be like an iron barrel. No scandal would be able to get in front of Jiang Xinyue and her children, and they would be safe.
Doesn't this mean she wants to use her favor to compete with the emperor?
When Emperor Xuanwu gave her Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang, he did not ask them to stay in Hexi Palace, but told them to take good care of Concubine Zhen until she gave birth.
Concubine De is very calculating. Regardless of whether Jiang Xinyue trusts Nanny Li or not, she will leave a bad impression on the emperor.
Not trusting someone means not knowing what is good and evil, trusting someone and competing with him means not knowing how to advance or retreat, making people annoying.
Why haven't you noticed this before?
Concubine De is the master of palace fighting!
Concubine De, who was praised for her good looks, always felt that Jiang Xinyue's eyes were strange, but her smile was sincere and she didn't know what was strange about her.
I could only touch my face in embarrassment: "Really? Maybe I've been sleeping better recently!"
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent several bottles of Loulan Beauty Lotion to Yanqing Palace, but Concubine Zhen noticed it so quickly?
Her eyes are really poisonous.
