After Jin Xiuyi reacted, she almost bit her tongue and wanted to slap Shen Qingyi in excitement. However, Qiao Jieyu took a deep breath and pulled Jin Xiuyi away. As soon as she took a few steps, Jin Xiuyi became furious. He shook off Qiao Jieyu's hand: "Why did you pull away from me just now? Didn't you hear that bitch scolding me?!"
Qiao Jieyu's tone remained unchanged, but her heart was very tired: "I heard it, but what if I heard it? Should she be punished by the nine clans? Or should she die immediately?"
Jin Xiuyi was speechless when Qiao Jieyu asked her two questions.
"After the Queen Mother's birthday incident, the Emperor already disliked you, and I was also implicated. If we make things difficult for Shen Qingyi in public, there is no guarantee that we won't be the next to be imprisoned in the cold palace."
As soon as he heard "imprisoned in the cold palace", Jinxiu Yi immediately stopped.
She was not afraid of being left out, but she was afraid that the second prince would be bullied by others without her.
Thinking of her child, Jin Xiuyi's heart ached with pain: "What should I do?"
The little fox in the cage was still squeaking. Qiao Jieyu glanced at it in disgust and sighed: "Let her be proud for a few more days."
…
Wearing a sapphire blue embroidered Luo shirt, the cuffs are embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with white silk thread. Her hair is gently pulled up, her eyebrows are skillfully painted, and her eyes are full of spring, which is charming and charming.
Since Xia Xiaoyi became pregnant, she has been taking supplements every day, and she looks energetic, plump and beautiful.
After Shen Qingyi put the things down, he looked at them briefly and admired them in his heart.
No wonder Concubine Yuhuang was more wary of Xia Xiaoyi than herself when she first entered the palace. Her appearance and figure alone were enough to seduce the man.
"Thank you sister for coming all the way. It's a pity that I don't have anything good to entertain you at Changchun Pavilion, so I won't keep you here. Sister, please leave slowly." Seeing that the things Shen Qingyi brought were not valuable, Xia Xiaoyi was too lazy to respond and directly issued an eviction order.
Shen Qingyi glanced at Lotus Root secretly, and smiled casually: "In that case, I will leave first. Sister, please have a good rest."
After leaving Changchun Pavilion, Shen Qingyi immediately looked at Lotus Root: "How is it?"
Lotus Root stretched out her hand: "60% sure."
Shen Qingyi was quite surprised: "Really?"
Lotus Root smiled confidently, with a different kind of light shining in her eyes: "If the month were older, I would be able to see more accurately!"
Shen Qingyi's hanging heart finally calmed down a little: "No need, just this 60% certainty is enough."
Today's move is to throw stones and ask for directions, and we are starting to get some clues.
The next move, grafting others on, is the key point.
When Shen Qingyi and Lian Ou came to the Imperial Garden, Concubine Xian had been waiting for a long time.
"Sister, you've been waiting for a long time." Shen Qingyi saw Concubine Xian sitting, said hello and sat down directly.
Concubine Xian waved away the lotus root and clove, took Shen Qingyi's hand, and sighed in embarrassment: "To be honest, I came to you today for a big deal."
Concubine Xian has formed an alliance with Shen Qingyi, and when she talks to Shen Qingyi in private, she is extremely affectionate and does not call herself "this palace".
When Shen Qingyi saw that Concubine Xian had something to say, she didn't pay much attention to the details and listened carefully.
A few meters away, Xiang Wan supported Imperial Concubine Yu and walked over from the east entrance of the Imperial Garden.
At the peak of spring, the Royal Garden is picturesque, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. It is indeed a good place to enjoy spring.
Concubine Yuhuang has been in a bad mood recently. She heard from her servants that the scenery in the Royal Garden is nice, so she thought of going out to relax. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived here, she saw Shen Qingyi and Concubine Xian talking mysteriously.
Seeing this, Xiangwan immediately understood and said, "My Lady, how about my slaves drive them away?"
Concubine Yuhuang waved her hand: "Don't worry, I would like to hear what they are plotting."
"Sister, to be honest, my sister and I were once pregnant with a child. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to keep it. This has always been a regret in my heart. A few days ago, I heard that Xia Xiaoyi had a child, and I thought, If I ask the emperor for permission to bring Xia Xiaoyi's child to be raised, then..."
Hearing Concubine Xian's confession, Shen Qingyi suddenly said: "Sister, do you want me to intercede with the emperor and let you raise Xia Xiaoyi's child?"
Seeing Shen Qingyi's words, Concubine Xian felt a little ashamed: "I also know that this matter is a bit difficult, but now in the palace, only you and the imperial concubine are the most favored and can speak in front of the emperor, but I and the imperial concubine are not the same. I'm not familiar with it, and I don't know if the imperial concubine has the same idea as me. If the imperial concubine takes advantage of me first, I will lose more than I gain."
What Concubine Xian said is pertinent, and the pros and cons are clear.
After hearing this, Shen Qingyi thought for a long time and then said solemnly: "According to the palace rules, concubines under the ninth concubine give birth to a prince, and high-ranking concubines are indeed qualified to raise him. If my sister insists on this, I am willing to help her."
Shen Qingyi's words undoubtedly gave Concubine Xian the final answer.
Concubine Xian immediately smiled and held Shen Qingyi's hand tightly: "If sister can really help me get what I want, sister is willing to give everything."
"Sister, it's serious. The most important thing about this matter is that Concubine Yuhuang cannot know about it. Sister, remember to keep it secret."
"Don't worry, I know."
The two of them chatted enthusiastically, but they didn't know that the imperial concubine had already listened to every word of their words.
Xiang Yuan gritted her teeth and whispered: "My Lady, these two people have evil intentions. They actually want to raise Xia Xiaoyi's child before you, my Lady. I will stop you now!"
"etc!"
Concubine Yuhuang's eyes darkened and her expression was cold: "Concubine Xian has a good saying, how can such a good thing be left behind by others? Xiangyuan, go tell Eunuch Xia and ask the emperor to come to Fengluan Palace immediately!"
"yes!"
Looking at Shen Qingyi and Concubine Xian who were still unaware, Concubine Yuhuang sneered in her heart.
Fortunately, she sensed the opportunity first and took action in advance.
Otherwise, Shen Qingyi would have an extra prince, which would be a great disadvantage to her!
But as long as she raises Xia Xiaoyi's child, she will have two princes in her hands. No matter which child the emperor makes the prince, her Mu family will become the most powerful person in Dayan!
…
That night.
Inside Lanyue Pavilion.
Shen Qingyi took off her hairpin ring and was about to put on her clothes and go to sleep when suddenly a small voice shouted from outside the door——
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Shen Qingyi looked surprised, but in her heart she was extremely calm: "Concubine, please see the Emperor."
Jamel Xiao came on the moon, with anger and exhaustion that could not be concealed on his face.
Shen Qingyi narrowed her eyes slightly, stood in front of Jamel Xiao obediently, and said softly: "Why does the emperor look unhappy?"
Jamel Xiao snorted and said sullenly: "How unreasonable! I have made Concubine Yu the imperial concubine, but she is still not satisfied and wants to raise Shen Xiaoyi's child!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Qingyi knew that the trap set by Bai Ri was safe.
However, the plan is only halfway through now, and the system beep has not sounded, so Shen Qingyi knows that it is not time to close the network yet.
"The imperial concubine has no children. Maybe she is just lonely. It is understandable that she proposes to raise Xia Xiaoyi's child." Shen Qingyi comforted her thoughtfully, but Jamel Xiao did not buy it. Instead, he felt more and more that the imperial concubine Yu was greedy for power.
You know, this afternoon, Concubine Yuhuang just proposed to raise Xia Xiaoyi's child. As soon as she turned around, Xia Xiaoyi found out about it and ran to the imperial study room crying and fussing, saying that she was not willing to give her child to Emperor Yu. The imperial concubine was raising Xiao Jamelyan for a long time, and he finally agreed without hesitation. But at night, imperial concubine Yu didn't give up and asked again.
Again and again.
Concubine Yuhuang's move was simply a provocation to the imperial power!
After Shen Qingyi knew the whole story, she secretly laughed in her heart, but said calmly: "The imperial concubine was confused for a moment, please don't be angry."
"Why don't I know that she has been depressed without a child before? But I am the emperor first, and then her husband, but Concubine Yuhuang used the kindness of entering the palace to save her to threaten me and let me take care of the old relationship. , let Xia Xiaoyi’s child be raised by her! It’s really hard to calm down!”
Shen Qingyi knew that the current level could not shake the foundation of Concubine Yuhuang. If she wanted to achieve the effect she wanted, she would have to add more fire.
But she can't add fuel to this fire, nor can any concubine in the harem add fuel to the fire.
It can only be the former dynasty.
Okay, the time has come.
Shen Qingyi secretly glanced at Lu Luo on the side. After Luo Luo understood, she squeezed the letter in her sleeve and turned around to leave.
Shen Qingyi came behind Jamel Xiao, stretched out her hands, and kneaded Jamel Xiao's temples: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the imperial concubine is confused, General Mu is a meritorious official. You can ask General Mu to persuade the imperial concubine tomorrow. The imperial concubine figured it out."
"That's all." Jamel Xiao sighed longly, held Shen Qingyi's hand in his palm, and buried his head in her arms: "Qing'er, only you, only you never bother me, you only make me unreserved I believe you."
Shen Qingyi looked at the silent night and replied expressionlessly: "It is a concubine's honor to gain the emperor's trust."
Concubine Xian is right. Now in the harem, the most favored ones are indeed Shen Qingyi and Concubine Yuhuang.
Shen Qingyi fully understands this.
Since Shen Qingyi's one-month grounding was lifted, Jamel Xiao has been coming to Lanyue Pavilion almost every day, and has to call for water three or four times every night.
Shen Qingyi was quite confident in her transformed body, but even so, she still underestimated the temptation of this body to Jamel Xiao. Jamel Xiao's love for her did not seem to disappear with the accumulation of time and frequency. On the contrary, it got worse.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Looking at Jamel Xiao who was sleeping deeply, Shen Qingyi took out a small porcelain bottle from under the pillow, poured out a child-avoiding pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.
She wants to live.
Live until your enemy dies, live until the end.
So now she must not be pregnant with a child and become the target of public criticism.
…
A big event happened in the court today.
General Mu publicly proposed to let Imperial Concubine Yu raise Xia Xiaoyi's child. As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted criticism from the officials. Xiao Jamel became furious and left with a wave of sleeves.
Unexpectedly, one wave after another happened, and the incident in the previous court had just happened. Concubine Yuhuang in the harem immediately received the news and pleaded for her father... All these things made Xiao Jingyan extremely angry, so after going to court, he immediately wrote Decree:
Deprived Mu Taichi of his title of "General of the State" and guarded the border;
Strip Yuhuang's imperial concubine of her title of "Emperor's Imperial Concubine" and demote her to the title of imperial concubine;
Jamel Xiao thought about it again and again, and finally wrote a sentence at the end of the imperial edict - agreeing with Concubine Yu to raise Xia Xiaoyi's child.
After Concubine Yu heard this in Fengluan Palace, she was so frightened that she fainted and everyone in Fengluan Palace fell on their backs.
