Originally, after Concubine Jing came out of the cold palace with Chu Xin, she caused an uproar in the harem, but as the days passed, it seemed that it was nothing more than that.
His Majesty only had a little novelty towards Concubine Jing in the first few days. Now that time has passed, the novelty is probably gone.
In fact, that's right. Concubine Jing went to the cold palace because she disobeyed His Majesty. Could it be possible that her temper could be changed after she came out?
So everyone was watching at first, but now as time goes by, they can see the direction of the wind. It seems that His Majesty only treats Concubine Jing like this.
"Mother, my father has not been here for a long time."
Chu Xin held a jade bracelet and looked around. Now that she is living in Zhongcui Palace, she has all the good things, but after seeing too much, it seems that there is nothing new about it.
"If you don't come, you don't come. It would be bad if there are too many. I originally thought the lower profile would be better. If your father comes often, wouldn't it attract everyone's attention to us again? ?”
Xie Ruling was reading a book. After coming out, she felt that her whole person had changed. She just wanted to enjoy something that she had never had in the cold palace before.
Everything is sent here from the palace, and the food and clothing are quite good, not to mention that Xie Churou also sends some things from time to time.
So she and Chu Xin didn't lack anything at all. During this period of time, they just wanted to enjoy themselves and make up for everything they didn't have before.
"That's true. I don't want to see my father. After all, he doesn't have much affection for me. Naturally, I don't have much affection for him either. His most beloved princess is not me either."
Chu Xin said indifferently. She really didn't care. She had not seen His Majesty once since she came out. To be precise, His Majesty did not want to see her and had never summoned her.
But it was good, lest she didn't know what to say when she saw him. She didn't want to pretend to be happy anymore to please her, because she couldn't please her at all.
The memory of that day will always come to mind, seeing how His Majesty loved Chu Yi and how he abused himself.
Many times I pretend to have forgotten this matter, but I can't forget it. How could I forget it? The feeling of grievance, pain and humiliation will never be forgotten in this life.
What is especially unforgettable is the sound of the bells ringing on Chu Yi's bun, which means that her and Chu Yi's identities are really different.
"I know, I know everything," Xie Ruling nodded distressedly, "I know you are a sensible child, so I also think that if Your Majesty doesn't come, just don't come, so we all have to pretend to please."
Xie Ruling waved and asked Chu Xin to come over.
Mother, I feel so sad when I think about what happened that day. I know I shouldn’t be like this, but I really can’t control myself. Why are we both princesses? Why is the gap between me and Chu Yi so big? Why is it so unfair! "
Chu Xin choked with grievance. At this moment, he and Xie Ruling were the only two people in the room, so he couldn't control his emotions. If he was ordinary in front of others, he would never cry like this.
"It's okay," Xie Ruling held Chu Xin in her arms and comforted her softly, "This has passed, everything has passed. In the future, you will find that these things are nothing. It will not be with you There is a trace left in my heart, these are not important, don’t feel sad for someone who doesn’t deserve it.”
These words seemed to comfort Chu Xin, and also seemed to comfort himself.
Because I used to be like this. When I first came to the cold palace, I was gnashing my teeth with hatred every day, so angry that I couldn't even eat, and I was angry all day long.
She was angry and hating, hating why His Majesty didn't believe in her, why did he give all his love to Zheng Yinghuan, why did he treat her with such cruelty after giving her endless favor!
No matter what happens now, I won't think about it anymore. After living in the cold palace for so long, I have suffered the pain of flesh and blood and I understand that these feelings are the most useless and have no use at all!
Instead of worrying about these, it is better to worry about your three meals a day.
"Your Majesty gave Concubine Zheng all the rights to control the harem, so Chu Yi's status is naturally special. I know you feel unhappy in your heart, but it's over. Next time you see them, you must be more careful. Be respectful.”
Xie Ruling sighed helplessly. Things were different back then. She was also an arrogant and willful concubine back then. Wasn't Zheng Yinghuan also an unknown concubine when she first entered the palace? Who would have thought that this position would have been reversed? .
"I know everything, don't worry, mother!"
Chu Xin gritted her teeth and nodded, wiping the tears from her face.
She should be happy now. Now that she comes out, she has the best food and clothing every day, which she could not even imagine in the cold palace before.
Being able to wear the softest silk and satin, having endless charcoal fires, and having such a soft quilt, and not having to worry about being woken up by the cold when sleeping at night are all things I never dared to think about before.
Now that she has it all, she should learn to be satisfied.
…
"All the sisters are here today, and there happens to be something I want to say."
Zheng Yinghuan sat high above her and glanced at Xie Ruling who was sitting below. Seeing that her face looked almost the same as before, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
She had been in the cold palace for so many years, but she didn't expect that she could make up for it in just a few months. This face really made her feel disgusted no matter how she looked at it.
"I wonder what your Majesty has to say?"
Li Fei asked curiously, looking at Xie Ruling as she spoke.
She was also quite curious. Xie Ruling had been out for so long, so why hadn't she seen the imperial concubine do anything?
She didn't think that the imperial concubine would endure it silently like this. She would definitely take some action in the future, just wait and see.
"This morning I asked the imperial doctor from Ping An Shang to come over and report that there was a good news. I thought this was a huge happy event, so I sent someone to report it to Your Majesty. It happened that I also shared this event with my sisters. happy event!"
Zheng Yinghuan smiled generously. In fact, when she learned the news in the morning, she was a little unresponsive. She never thought that the concubine Ting, who she had never paid attention to, would be happy.
During this period of time, all her attention had been on Xie Ruling, but she had neglected Ting Bin.
Everyone's eyes were turned towards Ting Bin, who raised her head proudly, perhaps because she had a child, which gave her a little more confidence.
She reached out and touched her belly happily again. Although she couldn't see anything yet, having this child would bring her endless possibilities.
It would be best to be born as a prince. Once she has a prince, she will have someone to rely on for life. She will no longer have to tremble and obey the orders of the imperial concubine, and she will no longer have to do things for others!
What's more important is that it can elevate her status to a higher level so that she no longer has to be as humble as she is now.
"It turns out to be such a happy event, then congratulations to Sister Tingbin!"
Li Fei nodded. Although she was smiling on the surface, she was still a little bored in her heart. She couldn't explain what it was like.
I have never thought that the Ting concubines would have such good luck. Your Majesty does not have many children, so your Majesty cares about the prince and princess.
If the concubine gives birth to the child safely, her status will be stable in the future, and she may even be canonized as a concubine. Having a child will give her the greatest confidence.
The other concubines also nodded in congratulations, but only they knew whether they were sincerely congratulating her or having evil intentions.
Xie Ruling stared at Ting Bin for a long time. She never thought that Ting Bin would have a child. She just felt that there seemed to be a little bit wrong with everything, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.
He could only smile and nod in congratulations. It was not easy to think about it. On the surface, Zheng Yinghuan looked gentle and generous, but in fact, he was the most carefree in handling things.
She really didn't know how his majesty fell in love with Zheng Yinghuan in the first place. At that time, she only knew that another woman had appeared and took away his majesty's love for her.
Although she was extremely angry back then, she really didn't do anything against Zheng Yinghuan. Although Zheng Yinghuan already had a child at that time, she never thought of harming the child.
I'm afraid what happened back then was a play directed and acted by Zheng Yinghuan. Xie Ruling turned to look at Zheng Yinghuan sitting above.
Zheng Yinghuan noticed Xie Ruling's look over her and gave her a disdainful look back.
She didn't care what Xie Ruling thought, she didn't care about it at all. Now that she had reached such a high position, how could she care about what the people below her thought?
"I hope all of you sisters will be as lucky as me and be able to conceive dragon seeds as soon as possible!"
The concubine stood up and bowed to Zheng Yinghuan, then nodded and smiled at the other concubines, her joyful expression almost unable to be hidden.
She was really happy when she got the news in the morning. She was so happy that she couldn't wait to tell His Majesty the news!
But there was no other way but to have someone tell the imperial concubine first, because she knew that the imperial concubine knew about this and would be unhappy in her heart.
That's why she knew that she would be so happy after having a child, but her status was not high and she needed to rely on the imperial concubine, so she was restricted everywhere. As long as she gave birth to a prince and was canonized as a concubine, her life would be easy.
"Then let me borrow my sister's good words, but the most important thing at the moment is that my sister needs to take good care of herself. Things in this palace are too complicated. I think I have seen a lot of them in the past, even when the imperial concubine was pregnant. …”
Concubine Jia suddenly stopped as she spoke, and cautiously raised her head to glance at Zheng Yinghuan.
All the concubines, you looked at me and you, and you all guessed what Concubine Jia wanted to say.
Why did Xie Ruling end up in the cold palace in the first place? Wasn't it because she was so angry when the truth was revealed? She was afraid that she was jealous of Concubine Zheng's pregnancy, so she put something in Concubine Zheng's medicine. When she was discovered, she denied it.
In the end, I really couldn't argue with it. I didn't want to lose face so I went to the cold palace. Otherwise, why would I go to the cold palace to suffer?
Xie Ruling looked at the ground indifferently. It wasn't like she couldn't feel the atmosphere, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter.
"Sister, you need to take good care of her. Don't eat or use the wrong things. You must give birth to a prince one day, so that your majesty can be happy!"
Xie Ruling generously gave her blessings. She also looked forward to Ting Bin giving birth to a prince, to see if Zheng Yinghuan could keep wearing this hypocritical mask.
As expected, after hearing the words of giving birth to a prince, Zheng Yinghuan's lips froze and she stared at Ting Bin's belly for a long time.
