Ningxi thought that her behavior in the harem was not impressive. She attended work on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and reported in on time. She often had disagreements with the empress and teased her. In good conscience, she did not offend any of the other concubines. !
However, the harem is a place for women after all. Wherever there are women, they must have their rights and wrongs.
"The noble concubine and the virtuous concubine will wait for a while and chat with me again!"
Lin Shaoning, the empress of the Concubine, has been a concubine since the emperor was still a prince. She is undoubtedly the first person in the harem in terms of seniority, and she is also the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son.
Ningxi knew this person from the moment she entered the palace, but she didn't meet her often. Usually, this virtuous concubine never left the house or asked for favors or status. I heard that she focused on raising the prince, which was a pity. The only thing is that the eldest prince is not in good health.
"How is Chen'er's health recently?"
"To tell you the truth, I have a slight cough due to the recent season change."
"You need to be careful, has Dr. Liu gone to see you?"
As the legitimate mother, the queen has the right and obligation to care about the daily life of the princes.
"Do you have anything to say about our Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? I didn't say anything when I saw you just now. My sister grew up in the northwest before she was young."
When her sister asked her this question, Ningxi cursed MMP in her heart, but still kept a smile on her face: "Sister, I don't have anything to say."
I don’t say it’s for your own good, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to realize what I said~
Because she had suffered a bad morning, Chen Lexuan also took a rest and thought that before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chen family must come to the palace to suppress the arrogance of the fifth sister. After taking a rest, she turned to talk to Lin Shaoning.

"Master, what kind of medicine is this queen selling in her gourd?"
What kind of medicine is being sold? The thoughts in our Queen's mind are always very strange. Now, when her mind suddenly comes online, Forsythia feels incredible.
"No matter what kind of medicine is sold, Grandma Liu has done a lot of work."
The ancestors of the Chen family were afraid that they knew that Ningxi was not willing to help her sister, and even the son who relied on her to bring her into the palace lost his heart. The ancestors of the Chen family really did it for this direct granddaughter. The gain outweighs the loss.
——Yongfu Palace——
Poria saw her master coming back with Forsythia. This was the first time that his master had stayed in Yong'an Palace for nearly a whole morning. Poria looked at the master and servant who had returned with a smile on their lips. She probably didn't come back late because she was angry with that person. , I felt relieved for some reason.
Fu Ling said hello, and Ning Xi waved her hand to let her get up.
"Master, you are back!"
Ningxi frowned, her back was sore after sitting with the queen for a long time. There was nothing wrong with her palace, but what could be wrong with her Yongfu Palace? She asked aloud: "What? What went wrong?"
"Oh, I'm not worried about you, slave!"
What Fuling said was true, and Ningxi had no doubt, after all, he saw this girl looking at her from a distance just as he turned the corner.
Ningxi knew her temperament, but she was too lazy to take care of any trivial matters, so the people she selected in the palace were all chosen after they passed through her eyes. Don't use it if you have an evil mind or a shy personality. You can be timid but don't be cowardly. The close friends Forsythia and Poria are both bold and careful, and they complement each other quite well.
——The ninth day of August——
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the harem was waiting for another good news. The newly arrived Wang Meiren is pregnant, which is really good news.
Ever since Ningxi entered the palace, no concubine in the harem had received any news of pregnancy. Ningxi had always thought it was Xiao Chengyan's problem, otherwise there would be only one eldest prince in the harem who was still very sick and guarded by so many women.
Ning Xi occasionally thought maliciously that the emperor knew about her physical problems, so the women in the harem only had flowers but no fruits.
Now that the news has come from Beauty Wang, she is undoubtedly telling Ning Xi that our emperor has no physical illness.
As soon as the news came that Wang Meiren was pregnant, some people in the harem were happy and others were worried.
——Zhongtang Palace——
It had been several years since she entered the palace and was granted the title of concubine. She, Liu Yingxue, and Liu's younger sister Yayun had been by the emperor's side since he was crowned prince when he was young. Even though they had been together for many years, they could not compete with the emperor's indifference towards them.
The fault of Concubine Xian when she gave birth to a child clearly had nothing to do with them, so why should they be blamed for the mistake?
The emperor is ruthless and his daughter’s family is of no use to them no matter how sentimental they are!
Liu Yingxue had clearly seen her identity, but her sister did not understand the essence of the matter. These days there is a lot of resentment in and out of words.
If she wanted to trouble the one in the middle palace, she would sincerely help the Liu family girl, but if she tried to use her brain to target the newly-entered Princess Wang, she would never take action.
Liu Yingxue leaned against the soft body, her eyes slightly sad, "Alas!"
In the past two days, I have always heard my master sighing, "Why are you sighing again, my dear wife?"
"People say that sighing all the time will scare away good luck. From now on, Madam, we should sigh less and smile more."
Liu Yingxue smiled. The spiritual heart that used to only follow her behind him and giggle, can now comfort people.
Also, she is already in her twenties. Lingxin has grown up with her since childhood, but she is only a few months younger than herself. She knew that Lingxin was always thinking about her family, "Lingxin, in a few years I will let you go home."
"Your Majesty, I have been following you since I was a child. Although I miss my brother and sister-in-law, they don't necessarily miss me as my sister."
That's all, Liu Yingxue waved her hand, "Go to my palace's warehouse to find some suitable gifts to send to Beauty Wang."
After hearing the instructions, Lingxin retreated.
There was no one in the room, and Liu Yingxue seemed to be even more eager to talk to her spiritual heart. The empty room was so quiet that it was terrifying. At this moment, Liu Yingxue didn't know why, but the appearance of Concubine Ning suddenly appeared in her mind. Such a good year, such a good appearance, being kind to everyone but indifferent to everyone, even though she is so young, she lives a more transparent life than anyone else, so I don’t know what I can do to compete with others.
She, Liu Yingxue, must be envious of Concubine Ning's free and easy attitude. She is obviously a little girl with a daughter's worries and a secret crush on the boy next door. After years of misunderstandings, in the blink of an eye, it turns out that she no longer recognizes the boy!
——Yongfu Palace——
Ningxi didn't know that the way she handled things in the harem would arouse people's envy. Now Ningxi was irritated about giving gifts.
Forsythia kept going to the small warehouse to look for some less valuable items, but the master rejected them. Forsythia looked sadly at the corner of the sky at a 45-degree angle. How should she serve her overly stingy master?
"Forget it, I will go to the small warehouse to take a look in person."
Ningxi swore that she was really not stingy and unwilling to give gifts to Beauty Wang. Money was something external to the body. She would not cling to the family wealth no matter what. The right thing is to recover the family wealth after it is gone.
She hesitated to give the gift, but it was because she was deeply poisoned by the quarrel between the front and back palaces. She was just afraid that someone would manipulate the gift she gave and frame her. After all, she did not dare to wear such a big hat.
I definitely can't give away the medicinal materials. If I give them away, I can't tell if they are contaminated. How about giving them the jade Ruyi that the emperor rewarded?
Ningxi touched the jade Ruyi in her hand and pondered for a while. Will this make people think that I, Ningxi, am a bit showy? After all, it is the jade Ruyi gifted by the emperor, but showing off this jade Ruyi also has the advantage of showing off. What kind of mistake made them go to the emperor? This is really a good idea!
Just do it like this, "Forsythia, send this jade Ruyi to Beauty Wang!"
"Master, you just begged this from the emperor~" Could it be that the master has the ability to predict the future? Knowing that Wang Meiren was pregnant, he specially asked for the emperor's reward to keep it as a gift. But after hearing Ningxi's explanation, "Give me this." It’s safer, your master is too timid to save his life.”
Forsythia feels that she has been thinking too much lately, and the master will always be the master!
"Is it possible that someone else in the harem can take the life of the noble concubine?"
A word came out of nowhere, and Ning Xi was startled to tremble, "As the saying goes, why should a woman embarrass a woman? I have no intention of embarrassing others, but your woman must embarrass me!"
Ningxi's angry look made Xiao Chengyan laugh, and he quickly pulled her into his arms and rubbed her head to comfort her, "I will ask you a few more questions. See how many words you have waiting for me."
"It's a joke, if I still act indifferent at this time, my life will be ruined!" On weekdays, it's just a joke. What time is it today? This is related to his heir.
Originally, there were only a few princes and grandchildren in the harem. If something happened to Mrs. Wang after she finally got pregnant, she should not lose her judgment and take precautions before they happen.
Xiao Chengyan was stunned. This girl still knew him. That's right. This girl was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. She pretended to be polite to everyone, but in fact she was not easy to get close to anyone. "Ha~"
Xiao Chengyan stretched out his hand to pinch Ning Xi's cheek. His concubine with baby fat was afraid that she was going to grow taller. Her chubby face was now sharp and angular. It would be difficult to pretend to be cute anymore, "You don't have to follow me anymore." Hidden clumsiness!"
"My good cousin told you again. The relationship between you two is really strong." Ningxi gritted her teeth when she said this, and the little tiger was about to show her fangs.
Don't talk about anything else, the emperor's excuse was slippery. He had the intention not to offend the little noble concubine. The younger brother of the Ning family cheated her at will. After all, the two of them had a friendship that grew up together. The brothers wanted to keep the blame. .
Xiao Chengyan saw things piled up in a mess. Although he didn't know how they were arranged before, he thought that the imperial concubine's turtle-haired personality would not like his things being left in a mess. "Put your master's warehouse in order."
"I have something better than Yu Ruyi. I will ask Eunuch Wan to send it to you later."
When Ningxi heard that there were good things, his droopy face immediately became happy. Last time, he regretted that he only got a handful of jade Ruyi when he asked for reward. Now that the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, the father-in-law will definitely pick out a few valuable pieces and send them to him. Golden thighs are so huggable!
Ning Xi's eyes were overflowing with happiness, and she hugged Xiao Chengyan's neck without caring about the intimate posture of the two of them, and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me." It was not difficult to hear the coquettish tone in her tone.
Xiao Chengyan also put his arm around her waist, smiled and said, "What a true little money fan!"
Forsythia and Poria looked at the intimacy between their master and the emperor, and stepped back with eyes.
