Chun Guiren smiled, and while talking, he was still sitting on the edge of the bed. He reached out to touch Ning Guiren's belly, but it was opened quickly. The blow was very hard. Chun Guiren didn't say anything else, but Withdrew his hand.
"It's better not to bother you. If you get tired, I'm afraid you will have to complain in front of His Majesty again. Didn't you always say in the past that things in the harem should not disturb His Majesty? But now why has your attitude changed? Are you going to complain to His Majesty about a trivial matter?"
The blow was so hard on purpose. Ning Guiren smiled slightly, enjoying the feeling of pride at the moment.
Love for a person and hatred for a person cannot be hidden.
No matter how well they pretended to be in the early stage, but now that they are getting along face to face, the feeling of resentment emerges involuntarily and is simply beyond human control.
I just don't like pure noble people, but I just want to strangle him to death at this moment.
"Ning Guiren, there is no need to talk nonsense. Our master has never complained about anything in front of His Majesty. There are many things that do not need to be said in person. Your Majesty is not a fool, so he can naturally tell clearly whose fault it is!"
He Xiang couldn't help but complain. Just now, she could see clearly that their master was really being wronged.
Chu Xin glanced at her with some disapproval. Now was not the time to be angry, and it was best not to say such words in front of Ning Guiren.
"Even the people serving around you have such great resentment towards me. They feel that I should never disturb you. How can I dare to speak if I want to eat or drink in the future?"
Hearing this, Ning Guiren smiled.
Looking at the noble man, he raised his eyebrows proudly.
"He Xiang has always been an outspoken person. He has been studying for a long time but he can't speak. After I go back, I will scold him. You don't have to care about your children too much. The most important thing is to take good care of your body. I have never complained. , if you need anything, you can just ask someone to come over and give you instructions."
Chun Guiren stood up and glanced at Yuan Hengxiang. She had a really good temper, and she didn't care at all even when faced with Ning Guiren's intentional and unintentional provocations.
It was true that I came here this time. I just wanted to make sure that the child in Ning Guiren's belly was safe. I didn't want to be stained with any dirty water and don't think that if something happened to the child, it would be my fault.
When they returned, Chun Guiren was still angry. He Xiang couldn't help but say a few words. No matter what, there was no need to say many unpleasant words in front of Ning Guiren.
Then He Xiang was asked to retreat, leaving only Chu Xin by his side.
"Mr. Li can't lie. Ning Guiren does have a child in her belly. It's been so long. Don't you still want to believe it?"
In fact, Ning Guiren also felt a little confused at first, but it has been so long, and it really can't be faked. If it is true, then where will Ning Guiren find a child after October?
"It's not because of this, I just feel that these things are still weird. If I don't take you to see them in person, I will always feel uneasy."
Chu Xin's brows were always furrowed together. Thinking of what she accidentally heard that day, she felt that something was wrong.
"Did you also buy the things I asked you to go out to buy a few days ago? Many times, the things made by the people are even more interesting than those in the palace. The sugar pills in the folk pastry shops are better than those made by me. The ones are more delicious. I want you to buy some so that I can learn from them."
Speaking of this, Chun Guiren suddenly smiled, yes, no matter what happened in the harem, she would naturally do what she should do.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do whatever you ask me to do. In the future, I will personally deliver the things your Majesty does to His Majesty. But I think His Majesty's attention is probably not on us right now."
When Chu Xin said the last sentence, she felt a little sour in her heart. It was really unpleasant.
Having grown up in the harem, it’s not that I don’t know how important children are in the harem. It was obvious that Ning Guiren was no longer liked by Yuan Heng in the past, but now she has gained his love again just because she has a child.
Didn't Yuan Heng say that when he was obviously in the palace? It would be great if there was only one woman by my side, but now? It's true that men can lie.
The noble man blinked his eyes and felt that he could no longer maintain the smile on his lips.
The sarcastic words I just faced from Ning Guiren were not uncaring, I just didn't want to care about them, but they still left traces in my heart, making me feel a painful pain somewhere in my heart.
"Do you think that after her child is born, will her relationship with His Majesty be deeper than mine?"
Pure noble people become very lonely. You know the answer without asking. It is inevitable.
In this case, there will be a shortcut between Ning Gui and His Majesty. Having a child means breaking up the constant contact, and as for me, I feel as if I am returning to my previous position.
Chu Xin didn't know how to comfort her, because she had felt this way before. When she was still in the palace, she could feel the gap in status all the time.
I am just a concubine, a concubine, and will always be the one who is least on the stage, the one who can be replaced. Isn’t the real princess Chu Yi?
But from what I heard that night, she seemed to be having a bad life. I heard that His Majesty the Northern Qi Dynasty had passed away, and Xiao Zhi seemed to have ascended the throne. Chu Yi was also named queen, and she even sent congratulatory gifts some time ago. .
I force myself not to think about these things anymore, but in the dead of night, these things will still pop up in my mind.
In fact, I envy Chu Yi very much and think her life is really good. She was born a noble princess, received so much love, and now she is a queen, and she is the master of the harem.
Even without those feelings, love, and noble status, I would not suffer much grievance, but as for myself, I have nothing.
Northern Qi Dynasty.
In Fengyi Palace, Chu Yi was dressed in rich clothes and wearing a phoenix hairpin, accepting greetings from all the concubines.
Of course, her eyes fell on the belated concubine De Gui, Chu Xin.
Others don't care, but this original intention is always displeasing no matter how I look at it.
The first thing Xiao Zhi wrote was to make her a royal concubine. He even made himself queen after he had to persuade her to get it. Not to mention how he looked that day, everything was seen by his original intention. He really felt that he All face and dignity were gone.
I am not willing to expose my vulnerable side in front of such a lowly slave. I thought it was nothing in the past, but now I really feel it is really shameful and humiliating!
It's as if she has been living in the shadow of Chu Xin from beginning to end. It doesn't matter if Chu Xin is gone, there is another promotion who looks similar to her to seduce herself.
They are obviously blood-related sisters, but they really live like enemies.
The other concubine, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a big gold hairpin, was Shen Minghui. She was not named a noble concubine, but was just an ordinary concubine.
Therefore, I really feel a little uncomfortable with my original intention of being named a noble concubine. After all, I can be considered a rich young lady, but now I can't compare to a slave. I really feel a little baffled.
There doesn't seem to be anything outstanding about this original intention, and his appearance doesn't make him an admirer of the country. Why is it that he is so deeply loved by His Majesty?
"I think Concubine Shen is very well dressed today. I can't help but linger on you a few more times. You are really more beautiful than a flower!"
Chu Yi smiled brightly, maybe because she had her original intention as a comparison, other women would find her pleasing to the eye, not to mention that the most important thing now is to find someone who can suppress her original intention.
Now that she is a queen, she cannot do many things by herself, otherwise it will be too cheap.
"Thank you very much for the compliment, the Queen. The Queen is the most beautiful peony flower. How can any of the concubines compare to it?"
Shen Minghui quickly smiled and said, now she has learned well and knows who she really wants to please.
Not to mention being inexplicably pinned down by a slave, I was not happy at all.
As soon as he said this, others also followed suit.
In fact, if there is a person with the highest status in the harem, it must be Concubine De, but Concubine De is just a slave, which makes things a little embarrassing.
In the past, they were also rich ladies, but now they have to kowtow to a slave, which always feels a bit unpleasant.
And Chu Yi had spotted this, and would add fuel to the fire intentionally or unintentionally, so that their hatred of their original intention would reach its peak, and then there would be no need for her to take action on the next thing.
Sometimes, I really don't understand why a slave can have such a good life and be named a noble concubine.
It's a pity that just like her, she can't become a phoenix by flying on a branch. So what if she wears gorgeous clothes? She really doesn't look like a royal concubine.
When everyone retreated, Yuexiang stood behind Chu Yi, massaging her shoulders. The phoenix crown on her head was made of pure gold, and she didn't know how heavy it was when it was worn on her head. Chu Yi really felt a soreness in her back.
There is no other way. Wearing such a noble phoenix crown means you have to bear its weight.
"It is precisely because His Majesty made her a noble concubine, so now she is the target of public criticism. Which concubine in the harem wants to see her? Or maybe she is just a slave, so His Majesty waved his hand and sealed her. You are in the position of a noble concubine. Because I know in my heart that no matter how much I love you, it doesn’t matter. Is there anyone behind him who wants to covet something? This humble status also has its advantages."
Chu Yi closed her eyes, feeling really tired. It seemed that she felt happier only that day when she and Xiao Tao went to see the peach blossoms.
"It turns out that being a queen is not easy. The harem is much bigger than the palace, and there are many things to take care of. I also have to wear such a heavy headband, which makes my neck sore from exhaustion."
Chu Yi touched her neck and sighed heavily.
Suddenly, I felt as if all my energy and energy had been sucked dry. I no longer had any nutrients, just like a flower that was about to wither.
It seems that the mother in my memory was like this, with nothing, no father's love, no nourishment of love, only endless troubles, and the whole person looked much older.
"The only consolation is to see them bowing their heads in front of me one by one, which finally makes me feel better. In the past, everyone in the palace was at odds with me, but now they have an additional original intention, and no one is in harmony. However, they always have to bow their heads in front of me. This is the real comfort!"
Chu Yi smiled again and opened her eyes. Finally, she truly understood what her mother said about having rights. Rights are the most important.
It makes people who don't like you have no choice but to bow your head in front of you and swallow your anger. Aren't these important enough?
"How do you want to deal with Chu Xin?"
Until now, Yuexiang has refused to address her as a noble concubine, because in her opinion, a slave is really not worthy of being a noble concubine, so she has never been willing to address her as a noble concubine in private.
"Yuexiang, do you really think I can deal with her?"
Chu Yi suddenly smiled.
"Do you think her position in His Majesty's heart can be replaced so lightly? You don't know how much he liked Chu Xin in the past, and how much he likes Chu Xin now. Unless there is another one who is more similar to him. Man, otherwise, my original intention will always be with His Majesty, and it will be a hurdle that I will never be able to overcome."
There is a trace of sadness in these words. No matter how arrogant you pretend to be in front of others, no matter how hard you try not to admit defeat, but now, you really can't be arrogant anymore, or you have already planned to admit defeat.
He didn't lose to Chu Xin, but to Chu Xin, and to his own sister.
When I was a child, I thought that I was the most favored princess and unique, but I didn't expect that there was another princess in the cold palace, the first queen's princess, who was even more noble than me.
From that time on, there was a vague name in my heart, Chu Xin.
But later, it turned out that things had gone round and round, and now Chu Xin was still weighing on herself. Could it be that this was really fate?
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so depressed. No matter what, she is just a slave!"
Yuexiang still felt distressed. How could the princess whom she had watched grow up be dressed up like this by a slave?
The harem is gradually settling down, but the most inconsistent thing is the original intention.
After all, the other concubines were also rich ladies before, and they all had the proper rules and etiquette, but Chu Xin was the one who was the most out of place.
