Cining Palace.
Zheng Yinghuan greeted the Queen Mother respectfully. Although she could not understand the Queen Mother, she could not fail to follow these rules and etiquette.
Even though the Queen Mother and His Majesty are not that close, as a concubine, she still has to follow the rules.
What's more, she hasn't been in a very good mood in the past month or two. After the concubine is pregnant, she has to set an example and give away all the good things. But who knew that she was really angry in her heart? died!
Your Majesty rarely comes here, and spends most of his time visiting the concubines. It is true that mother is more valuable than child. Having a child can get so much favor, even him and her are a little jealous!
She believed that she was not a ruthless person. If the concubine treated her respectfully, she would be able to let the concubine give birth to the child safely.
But how could a woman like Ting Bin, who knew no sense of propriety or heights, allow the other party to give birth to a child?
At this moment, the child is still in the belly and has not yet been born. He is already spoiled and pampered. If he gives birth to a prince safely, wouldn't he really dare to climb on top of himself in the future?
What's more, she has a clear mind about how she has treated Tingbin over the years. If Tingbin really has someone to rely on in the future, it will not be a good thing for her.
So this child cannot be kept no matter what!
"Now that the concubine is pregnant, she will indeed need more money. Your Majesty has often visited her these years. You must also set an example in commanding the Sixth Palace. There are so many pairs of eyes watching, but tens of thousands of Don’t make any mistakes!”
The Queen Mother lay lazily on the bed. It was not like she didn't know what was going on in the harem. She also knew that the concubine had a child and countless pairs of eyes were staring at her. They must be eager for something to happen to her.
But she is the Queen Mother, so she naturally hopes that His Majesty will have as many children as possible, and also hopes that the concubine can give birth to the children safely.
What's more important is that this can rub off Zheng Yinghuan's spirit. Zheng Yinghuan has been the only one in the harem these years, so it is a good thing to make her bow her head.
"Yes," the smile on Zheng Yinghuan's lips was frozen. This was not a happy event for herself. How could she be happy about it, and how could she really care about it?
"I also know that His Majesty rarely visits you recently, and you must be feeling uncomfortable, but you also have to understand something. The children are the most important thing in this harem, and the most important thing is that His Majesty can flourish. Yes, it’s better to put away those thanksgiving thoughts first.”
The Queen Mother has lived to this age, so why can't she tell what Zheng Yinghuan is thinking?
She just glanced at Zheng Yinghuan lightly, and then warned her calmly.
Just like what she just said, you can turn a blind eye to the fights in the harem and pretend you can't see them, but the children are the most important thing.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what's appropriate, but I'm a bit spoiled and spoiled, and a bit disrespectful in front of me. Having a child is indeed more precious, but this really doesn't understand the rules."
Ting Bin said aggrievedly, she felt very angry when talking about these things, otherwise she would be a fool.
She had seen this in the past, so she asked Ting Bin to be a thug in some matters. Knowing what happened, Ting Bin couldn't shirk it!
But I didn’t expect that as time went on, Ting Bin became more and more stupid. Did she really think that she could do whatever she wanted after having a child?
Every day when I pretend to touch my belly with my hands in front of myself, I am afraid that my heart will really burst into happiness. God is really short-sighted and has given such a stupid woman such a great blessing!
"Okay," the Queen Mother said in a somewhat impatient tone, "I don't want to hear these things. If I have to deal with these things for you every day, how can I handle them? You have been a concubine for so many years. If you can't handle such trivial matters well, how can you be qualified for this position? His Majesty must have trusted you very much, so he gave you the right to take charge of the harem. Are you sure that you have failed His Majesty now?"
The Queen Mother did this on purpose, to deliberately suppress Zheng Yinghuan. Don't think that she didn't know that Ru Ling had been in the cold palace for so many years, and Zheng Yinghuan had secretly made countless small moves.
Due to Zheng Yinghuan's status and his relationship with His Majesty, these matters were difficult to deal with in public. Finally, he found this opportunity to suppress Zheng Yinghuan secretly.
What's more, since this concubine is pregnant, what's wrong with getting more attention and favor? Wasn't it the same when Zheng Yinghuan was useful?
What's more, a play that Zheng Yinghuan directed and acted when she was pregnant caused Ruling to suffer in the cold palace for so many years. She still remembered it in her heart. Now she can't bear just a few sarcastic comments?
"Yes, it's all my concubine's fault. The Queen Mother taught me a lesson."
Zheng Yinghuan lowered her head in grievance and bit her lip hard. She shouldn't have said such stupid things just now. She should have guessed that the Queen Mother just wanted to find an excuse to teach herself a lesson.
If this is the case, then she must let the concubine's child die. Isn't the Queen Mother looking forward to this child very much? Then she must let the Queen Mother taste the pain of losing her grandson!
Thinking of these things and getting angry, thinking of Ting Bin's doting face, Zheng Yinghuan tightly grasped the hand hidden under her sleeve, and the sharp nails dug deeply into the palm of her hand.
She has been in charge of the harem for so many years, when has she ever been so angry? That bitch Ting Bin is really too proud, it is really unbearable!
"Although His Majesty has never established another queen, you are already the queen in the harem. You are not generous enough to compete with the concubines, and you are a bit self-degrading!"
The Queen Mother was still scolding her relentlessly. She finally caught this opportunity, how could she let it go so easily?
What's more, Zheng Yinghuan does have a big problem herself. She has been in charge of the harem for so many years. When she came to greet her today, she thought she had something big to say, but she didn't expect that she was jealous of these little things. She didn't even want to hear it!
There are always jealousy things going on in this harem. Today a concubine comes to complain, and tomorrow another concubine will come too, so what will happen to her here?
She didn't want to hear this, really didn't want to hear this.
Having lived to this age, if you listen to these concubines talking about jealousy, you will really feel very irritated.
"yes."
Zheng Yinghuan had her head lowered. It was difficult for her to refute the Queen Mother's words, so she could only say whatever she said.
But the anger in her heart cannot be vented so easily. The source of all these things is Ting Bin, so she will definitely make Ting Bin pay the price!
It’s better to cherish the time when your child is still in your belly!
"The Queen Mother, the noble concubine."
Aunt Jin came in from the outside and looked at Zheng Yinghuan who lowered his head to admit his mistake, and felt somewhat clear.
The Queen Mother has always disliked Concubine Zheng, so she probably reprimanded her because of this matter, right?
"What's the matter?"
The Queen Mother was a little unhappy when she was suddenly interrupted.
"It's the Ting Concubine who came here to say hello. She said she wanted the Queen Mother to see her grandson."
Aunt Jin lowered her head and replied.
As soon as she heard that it was Ting Bin who came at this time, Xiaohua immediately clenched her fists.
This pavilion must have deliberately chosen to come here at this time!
"Let her in."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, it's not like she has never experienced these battles in the harem, so how could she not see why the concubine came to pay her respects at this time?
But she didn't take it seriously. It was good to have a look at Huang Sun.
"yes."
When Ting Bin came in, she touched her belly with her hand. In fact, Yue Shangxiao was not pregnant at this moment, but she just liked touching her belly, wanting to tell everyone that she had a prince in her belly!
I was always ignored in the past, but now I finally have an opportunity to attract attention. Naturally, I want to be as high-profile as possible.
"I would like to express my regards to the Queen Mother, and to express my regards to the noble concubine."
The concubine bowed respectfully and saluted, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Zheng Yinghuan lowering his head.
He must have been reprimanded by the Queen Mother, right?
She could tell that the Queen Mother did not like the imperial concubine, so she deliberately chose this time to come to pay her respects. Even for the sake of the child in her belly, the Queen Mother would like her, at least at this moment.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother was extremely happy when she saw Ting Bin, which was completely different from her attitude towards Zheng Yinghuan just now.
"You are already useful, so why come here in person? You must protect yourself. If you need anything, just tell the concubine and she will take care of it."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, her eyes were always staring at Ting Bin's belly. Although she couldn't see anything at the moment, she couldn't help but look forward to it when she thought that the future emperor's grandson would be in her belly.
"I just want the Queen Mother to see her grandson. I know I am wrong."
Ting Bin touched her belly and lowered her head in grievance.
Zheng Yinghuan immediately took a deep breath and said, "This bitch is so good at pretending. Why didn't I see that Ting Bin was such a virtuous person before?"
If he had known from the beginning that Ting Concubine was so good at acting, he would never have promoted her to the position of concubine. She should have been kept in obscurity in the harem for the rest of her life and would never have been favored by His Majesty.
But now it's too late to regret it. Who knows that Tingbi already has a child in her belly?
"Okay, okay, I don't know how happy I am to be able to see my grandson. How could I not really blame you? I just pretended to blame you because I was worried that something would happen to you along the way. Don't really blame me. If you are wronged, it will not be good for the emperor and grandson in your belly."
The Queen Mother said distressedly.
"Yes, I will definitely pay attention to my safety if I find out!"
The concubine then smiled happily and glanced at Zheng Yinghuan secretly. She felt funny when she saw Zheng Yinghuan's expression.
And listening to these conversations, Zheng Yinghuan was so angry that she thought she didn't exist when she was singing along!
She could see it now. The Queen Mother did it on purpose, and so did the concubines. She was deliberately trying to hurt herself like this!
"I just said so much to you, have you ever taken it into account? You are the master of the harem, so you should be more relaxed. Don't always get involved in petty jealousies, and don't always let His Majesty because of the things in the harem. Worrying about things, I was busy in the past, so I can’t go back to the harem, there are still things that I can’t finish, right?”
The Queen Mother looked at Zheng Yinghuan with a very cold tone.
Since he knows how to act, he should act to the end. Zheng Yinghuan came here just to complain about these things to her and wanted to punish Ting Bin.
But this was a wrong move. How could she get involved in such a jealous thing? Not to mention that Ting Bin was pregnant at the moment, and it was the time when gold was precious, so naturally she would give her whatever she wanted.
