Chapter 46 Concubine Brawl
"Your concubine, you are pregnant now, so you should not drink strong tea. After the rain, Longjing is a light green tea, which is very beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus. I will ask the maid to take some of honor for you. It's tasteless in your mouth when you are pregnant, and it's good to drink some tea." The queen has always been virtuous and generous in front of her concubines, and she is even more considerous when she says these words.
"Thank you, queen. My concubine likes to drink tea all day long, but there is a lot of black tea in the palace, and I'm afraid it will affect the fetus." The noble concubine lowered her eyebrows and replied, but her tone was a little cowardly.
"It's better to be more careful when everyone in this palace stares at your stomach. The queen's tea must be examined by the imperial doctor. If something is mixed in and damages the fetus, it's too late to cry." Yufei's words seemed to be a warning, but in fact, the meaning of mulberry scolding Huai was obvious.
"What Sister Yu's words seem to be saying that I have bad intentions?" The queen raised her eyebrows slightly and asked harshly.
"How dare I think so? It's just to tell the noble concubine to be more careful." The jade concubine replied.
Is it much more expensive to be pregnant? But the child is the emperor's child, and you still have to be your concubine. Xiao Shufei said with a mean face.
The noble concubine looked at the women in front of her and said nothing. Although she was full of dissatisfaction, she didn't say much, but Xiao Shufei's words did anger her a little. People said that the rabbit would bite when she was in a hurry, not to mention her noble concubine, she said, "Princes Xiao Shu has often been lucky by the emperor over the years, but her stomach did not It's very competitive."
"You..." Xiao Shufei stared angrily and was about to say something fiercely, but was interrupted by the queen.
"Xiao Shufei, you should also pay more attention to your health. The emperor has been with you for half a month, but you haven't been pregnant for a long time. You should ask the imperial doctor to take a look and take good care of your body so that you can continue to the emperor's children."
"The queen entered the palace very early, but she hasn't seen any movement in recent years. It seems that she should look for more doctors, but it's not easy to be pregnant at such an old age." Xiao Shufei said with a sneer, and every word poked the queen's pain.
"Since the bones of this palace are not suitable for pregnancy, we can only sit in the position of the queen and choose some young women for the emperor to extend the royal bloodline."
The queen's words are to clearly tell the people in front of her that whether she has an heir or not, she is the queen after all, the supreme queen.
Among the women in the harem, even drinking tea is also full of intrigues. The noble concubine has rarely come out in her own palace over the years. At this time, she is pregnant, but she is busy. There is a leisurely thing such as tea tasting, and the queen will also call her. This is the queen's birthday, and she is pregnant again. The empress dowager The beautiful name is Shuangxi, and there is a warm welcome in front of her noble concubine's door.
Xiao Shufei was dumb and didn't seem to want to quarrel with the queen anymore.
Seeing that it suddenly calmed down, the queen said, "Tomorrow's banquet is scheduled for tomorrow. Please bother your sisters to get up early. Don't delay your time."
"Congratulations on my sister's 30th birthday." Xiao Shufei bit the word "30" to death and said.
The woman in the harem is afraid of the most terrible thing. The queen could hear the sarcasm in Xiao Shufei's tone and said unhappily, "The years are ruthless, and my sister will eventually have such a day."
Concubine Jin interrupted: "In a few years, Sister Xiao will be approaching her 30."
This Jinfei is really disappointing. She usually has no brain, and she can't speak in front of the queen. Xiao Shufei stared at her fiercely and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of things that can be changed in recent years."
"It's better for my sister to sit in Shufei's seat properly." The queen smiled and said that this Xiao Shufei has always been pulling in Concubine Jin, and Concubine Jin is also willing to cling to the wings of Xiao Shufei, but she is afraid that this Jin Concubine is just a straw bag and can't help, but she is good at adding trouble.
"I'm sorry to bother you, how can you sit unsteadily with the emperor's favor?" Xiao Shufei also has nothing to do with this Jinfei. Although she has always been loyal to herself, this brain is really not good.
"The emperor's favor is our blessing as a concubine. I'm afraid that some people will use this emperor's favor in a different place. One day when the emperor is tired, he will fall down a wall and everyone will push it. This matter can also be seen in the harem."
"My concubine has always been cautious, and I'm afraid such a thing will not happen to my concubine."
But the jade concubine beside her laughed and said, "I was born as a maid of honor, so it's natural to be cautious. As our masters, we should also pay more attention to the people around us."
The jade concubine's coquettish tone clearly pointed to Xiao Shufei's composition maid climbing to the throne and lamented Lingfei. She said that Lingfei had always been friends with Yufei in her early years, but she didn't expect to let Xiao Mei, who was a maid of honor at that time, take advantage of such a gap and was beaten into the cold palace. Yufei always held grudge, but she watched Xiao Shufei climb more and more. The higher.
The anger in Xiao Shufei's heart was very heartbroken by Yufei's words. She smiled calmly on the surface and said, "The maid of honor has climbed on your jade concubine's head, wasted your father's painstaking efforts."
Seeing the domineering momentum of the sword, the queen said, "That's all. Our sisters often make trouble in our tongues when we get together, which is too unreassuring. I still need to ask your opinions about tomorrow..."
The queen is very good at being a good person. Seeing that it was almost done, she started to make a circle. A group of concubines stopped bickering and listened to the queen arrange tomorrow's affairs.
At this moment, Liu Feifei is accompanying the Empress Dowager in the Tailin Hall.
The Empress Dowager has always been a little afraid of Yao Yulu, and she is even more inclined to Liu Feifei. Song Jinzhi's father, Prime Minister Song, has always been calm, and it doesn't matter. Although Yao Yulu has a bad relationship with her mother's family, she still has a blood relationship after all. I'm afraid that if she is favored in the future, the Yao family will not get it.
Liu Feifei has always been obedient in front of the Empress Dowager. Seeing that the Empress Dowager frowned slightly, she asked, "What is the Empress Dowager thinking?" It seems to be a little annoying."
"It doesn't matter if you are understanding. I don't know what kind of congratulatory gift you are going to attend tomorrow's banquet, and you can't prepare for it with your family these days."
"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, Feifei has prepared a golden embroidered pillow, which is accompanied by buckwheat and cassia seeds, and got a kind of lotus fragrance that only Tianshan has from his father, which is useful for sleeping. I believe the queen will like it."
"Very good, such a heart is very decent. The jewelry emerald queen has seen a lot, and it is not new."
"Feifei also thinks so, I don't know... Will there be any other girls going tomorrow? Liu Feifei has not returned to Taoyuan Hall these days, but there is nothing important in Taoyuan Hall. Since the last time she went to the temple to take care of the empress dowager, the empress dowager has loved her very much, so she has been staying with the empress dowager these days and did not know that Yao Yulu and Song Jinzhi were also invited.
"There are also Yao Xiunu and Song Xiunu. Their mother's family has some weight in the court, and it is common to invite them." Although the Empress Dowager likes Liu Feifei, she still needs to talk about some words.
"So that's it. The two sisters are quite outstanding in terms of appearance, and it's common for them to be invited, and Feifei can only have such courtesy thanks to the love of the Empress Dowager, and she is already very satisfied."
In fact, Liu Feifei's usual temper is by no means so sensible and gentle, but in front of the Empress Dowager, she said such words generously.
The Empress Dowager didn't expect that this young girl was so knowledgeable and said, "Don't worry, Feifei has done his best for his family these days, and the emperor will not dare to treat you badly during the draft."
Liu Feifei smiled, but he was thinking about something in his heart.
In the evening, in the Taoyuan Hall, the beautiful girls have returned to their bedroom after eating, and Yao Yulu is also busy making the preserves the last process.
"Sister, have you picked out tomorrow's clothes and jewelry?" Ji Shuidong asked while helping.
Only then did she remind Yao Yulu that she had been busy making preserves these two days and forgot about clothes and jewelry.
"Oh, I forgot this. I'm really busy and a little dizzy."
"Sister, you still need to be energetic tomorrow. Since you are not feeling well, get ready to go to bed early. This preserve is almost ready. I'll finish it and put it in the box."
"This... What's so good? You haven't had a good rest these days, because I've spent a lot of time on my business.
"Sister, you are always polite to Shuidong. It's not tiring to do these little things, but it's just a piece of cake. Sister, you'd better have a good rest and don't delay tomorrow's banquet." Ji Shuidong advised, but he was still busy with himself.
Yao Yulu had to give up and turned out an apricot-yellow snow forging skirt, which was beautiful and not eye-catching. It was very suitable to deal with tomorrow's scene. Another coral cap jumped out, and the bright red embellishment made people more beautiful.
After finishing her work, she rested early and had a drowsy head. Looking at Ji Shuidong's busy figure in the haze, she was both happy and grateful, and slowly fell asleep.
