New Year's Eve.
Qingqiu was supported by Hongliu to attend the palace banquet.
"Your belly is getting bigger, please take care of yourself." This fetus is fake. Although the appearance is the same as that of a pregnant woman, the inside is different, which makes it easier to see redness.
Qingqiu nodded. She had paid great attention to it. She did everything a pregnant woman should do. She was afraid of being suspected if she didn't fail.
The two were walking by the koi pond when suddenly there was a movement behind them. Her eyes froze, "Who is it?"
"Hongliu, I feel a little cold. Go back and get me a soup dumpling." She pretended to order and looked over with her peripheral vision. It turned out to be the eldest prince. He didn't look like he was doing something good.
Hongliu glanced at Tang Pozi in his hand and agreed.
The eldest prince was annoyed at the sound he made in the dark, but when he saw that Shun Guiren was the only one left by the pool, he couldn't hold back anymore and rushed over, pushing her in the back.
Qingqiu turned slightly to one side, and the eldest prince was caught off guard and fell into the koi pond with a 'plop'.
"Help, help."
Qingqiu stood by the pool and watched him splashing in the water with cold eyes. The palace was really a big dyeing vat. He had already grown like this at a young age.
"Shun Guiren...Guru...save me..."
He didn't know how to drink water, so he poured water into his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth. After a few words, he was full. The temperature in the pool was low. After a while, his body stiffened, and his thrashing gradually became more and more intense. Small.
Seeing that he was about to sink, Qingqiu let Hongliu, who had gone and returned, pick him up. If the eldest prince died like this, he would not be able to escape the relationship.
He can die, but he cannot harm himself.
The eldest prince just felt like he was about to drown. He hated that he couldn't push Shun Guiren down, that he couldn't avenge his mother and concubine, and that he didn't save her until she died.
In his dazed state of consciousness, he only felt someone dragging him up and lying on the stone.
"Wow~"
"Ugh~"
After spitting out water one after another, he passed out again.
"Is it serious?"
Seeing Hongliu checking his pulse, Qingqiu asked.
Hongliu shook his head, "To tell you what the young master is saying, the eldest prince is just suffering from the cold. He just needs to be nursed back to health." For example, a man with a poor constitution would get rid of the disease no matter what if he falls into the water in winter. However, he has a good constitution, so he will be fine after all this trouble.
"Then go and report this matter to the Queen. Just say that I was frightened and I won't go to the palace banquet."
There was nothing good to go there, there were a lot of people chatting and eating food that had gone cold. Whoever liked it would suffer, but she wasn't going anyway.
"It's New Year's Eve, so let's go back and have a lot of fun."
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Gu and Eunuch Gao were also there when she returned.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Qingqiu's eyes, and his words were slightly cold, "Why are you here, and you are not afraid of being seen?" Usually one or two of them are very cautious, so why are they so reckless today.
Eunuch Gu sneered, she was really a realistic woman. She used to flirt with him, but if she really encountered trouble, she would run faster than anyone else.
Eunuch Gao looked at the two of them and shook his head. He didn't know what was going on between the two of them. They were obviously in the same boat, but they seemed to be incompatible with each other.
"It was my servant who received the news that the noble man did not attend the palace banquet, so he took him together to discuss the plan."
They haven't seen each other for a while, so they naturally need to find an opportunity to talk. Otherwise, what if they fall apart at the critical moment?
It's okay for Qingqiu to think about it for a moment. Anyway, all the concubines and concubines are at the palace banquet, and it won't end for a while.
Seeing her thoughts, Eunuch Gu's narrow eyes were filled with a hint of sarcasm, "Shungui, don't worry. If someone comes, someone will notify you in advance." Since they dared to come, they would naturally prepare in advance.
Qingqiu asked someone to serve another table of food, and ate and chatted with them. The whole table of food was completely eaten by them, who had nowhere to go.
After talking about what happened today, the two of them had a fistfight, and the eldest prince was afraid that he would be rejected by the emperor.
"Will the slave take action next?" Gao Gonggong said, she has not used him since the last time. He must prove his worth. Only useful people deserve to be alive in the palace. He has a deep understanding of this.
The light in Qingqiu's eyes flashed, and she glanced at the two of them lightly, "You can find a male fetus that is about the same age as me. It is best to be similar to the emperor." She touched her belly. It's best to get things done in advance, otherwise things can easily go wrong later.
Their eyes fell on her slightly protruding belly, and it was indeed time to get ready.
Not to mention how furious the emperor was after receiving the news, all the concubines in the palace were smiling happily.
Especially Li Concubine, she is now extremely famous. The other princes are so disgusted and despised that she is the third prince who currently has the most favor with the emperor. Even the chief eunuch is a little polite to her. How can she make her She was not pleased.
Just to deal with the enemy, you have to kill them with a stick, so that they can never get up again.
How can the living be as at ease as the dead?
Concubine Li's beautiful face was filled with cruelty, which made the maids on the side tremble with fear.
"come here."
Concubine Li whispered a few words in her ear, which frightened the maid's face to death. Bilian's lesson was right in front of her, but if she dared to disobey, she might not be able to see the sun tomorrow, so the maid gritted her teeth and went ahead.
As long as you are more cautious, you may not end up like Bi Lian.
"Why haven't we found out what happened after so long? Are you, the eunuch in charge, just using it as a decoration?"
The emperor's tone was cold, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with Manager Zhu.
He must be really old, and none of the things he has done recently are decent. Not to mention that the spies assigned to the various palaces have not played any role, and there is no trace of the mastermind behind the scenes that Concubine Rong said. It is becoming more and more useless. .
The emperor remembered the little eunuch from last time. He heard that he was still the apprentice of Manager Zhu and had very good abilities.
He glanced at him. After all, he was his personal eunuch who had been with him since childhood. It wouldn't hurt to give him another chance.
Manager Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, felt the eyes falling on him, and felt very panicked. He didn't know what was going on recently, and things were not going well. After careful calculation, he didn't get a few things done.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but please give me a chance."
He leaned against the ground and was relieved when he heard the emperor's promise. He knew too much from following the emperor since he was a child. If he fell out of favor, he would end up lingering in the palace, and if he was abandoned, he would die.
"Master, how are you?"
Seeing that his face turned pale, Eunuch Gu hurriedly greeted him, but he was very happy in his heart. He could hear the movement inside, so it was useful to stop him from doing things.
Manager Zhu broke out in a cold sweat and shivered directly from the cold wind outside.
"It's okay. You can serve the emperor well. I have to leave beforehand."
Eunuch Gu looked at his back and thought deeply. He was able to stop him before because he was defenseless, but now it is difficult to do so.
No matter what, he had shown his face to the emperor anyway. Once that happened, he didn't believe that the emperor could not be angry with him!
