Extra-5 Old Things (5)
At that moment, I felt as if I had fallen into a vast ocean, unable to find the direction, but my heart was soft, like a piece of cotton, floating.
I know that the emperor is doing this for my good, people's hearts are terrifying, those rumors spread like weeds in the front and back harem, and everyone laughed at me behind my back, waiting to see my jokes.
I couldn't help but be deeply moved, knowing that the emperor respected me from the bottom of his heart, but I didn't immediately agree. After thinking about it for three days, I agreed.
I know that this identity means a lot to me. The Medicine King also told me that if you want to gain a firm foothold in the harem, you must have a mother's family behind you.
Since then, I have a new identity, the eldest lady of the Yuan family, I have lived in the Yuan Mansion for a few days, and the people of the Yuan family respect me on the surface, and everyone respectfully calls me Miss Yi.
I don't know how the emperor used to persuade Yuan Shangshu to accept me as a righteous daughter, but it must have taken a lot of effort.
Apricot often helps me to hear news, and she tells me that the wind direction in the front and harem is beginning to change. They don't dare to talk behind their backs.
As the days passed, the emperor has been treating me very well, but he has less and less time with me, I heard that other countries are coming, and the border is in turmoil, and the emperor is anxious about these things during this time.
I have only seen him a handful of times, but I am not sad at all, because he has not been to the palace except my bedchamber in his spare time.
During this time, I seldom left the palace, but I was often visited, and one of them was the noble Concubine Qi, a woman whom I had been disgusted with since the first time I saw her.
In front of me, she always showed a high-minded, disdainful look, I heard Xing'er say that her mother's family was illustrious, and she was arrogant and domineering.
I can tell from her expression that she has a deep affection for the emperor, because when the emperor appeared, her temperament was very different from the original, revealing the shyness of a girl.
Although the emperor did not have her in his eyes, he respected her very much, and sometimes she deliberately teased me, but the emperor heard it and did not open his mouth to scold. And she will do everything she can to seduce the emperor to stay in her palace.
Such a bewitching and bold woman, how can a man resist it, her plan succeeded. From time to time, the emperor would go to her harem to stay overnight. Xing'er told me that this is called rain and dew, and in the emperor's life, there will be a lot of warblers and warblers around him, and he will not be alone.
My heart seemed to be slashed open one by one, and in the dead of night, it was like a liver and intestines being broken, and the pain was endless.
I don't like it very much, even though I know that the emperor's body and mind can't belong to me alone, but I know that I am selfish, and there is no room for sand in my eyes. Now that I have become the emperor's concubine, there is no way out, and the only thing I can do is to hold on to his heart.
I often fell ill, and every time I fell ill, the emperor would be by my side, and I played some tricks, and then my plan succeeded, and the emperor did not go to the palace of other concubines for a whole month.
The emperor knew that I had been weak and sick since I was a child, and those imperial doctors also said that I was seriously ill, and he loved me more and more.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the frontier to be warned, and the emperor was forced to go out in person.
I reluctantly watched the back of his departure, and waited for him in the palace for half a year. And coincidentally, half a month after the emperor left, I found out that I was pregnant. When the doctor told me, my mind went blank and I didn't know how to react.
I am happy and sad, happy that I am pregnant with the emperor's child, and I can spread the branches and leaves for him, and sadly, he cannot share this joy with me at this time.
What's even more shocking is that a month after I became pregnant, Concubine Shu was also happy. The baby in her belly was only a month younger than mine.
I remember that before the emperor left the palace, he announced that she had slept in bed. No one knows what it's like in my heart. I thought that I was the only one in the palace who was happy, and the fetus in my womb was the only child of the emperor at present, and now another woman has snatched this unique glory away, and I can't do anything about it.
I waited stupidly, the fetus in my womb was getting bigger and bigger, those imperial doctors knew that the emperor valued me, and I was pregnant with the emperor's first child, they didn't dare to snub me, and my child didn't have any abnormalities.
Concubine Qi would come to the palace from time to time to see me, and I thought she would do something to the fetus in my womb, but I was too worried, and I was safe with the child until the emperor returned to Beijing.
That day, I was sitting in the palace, and Xing'er told me that the emperor had returned to Beijing, and I looked at Xing'er in shock and couldn't believe it. Immediately, ignoring the huge belly in the abdomen, I hurriedly walked towards the palace gate, and I saw the emperor.
I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, I didn't see him for half a year, his face was vicissitudes, he had grown a lot of scum, I looked at him in a daze, my heart was happy, but I didn't know how to react, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
He's finally back.
Xing'er helped me step by step in front of him, and I didn't care about etiquette, and I wanted to reach out and touch his face.
When his hand was still half an inch finger away, a carriage slowly drove towards us and stopped beside us.
I was stunned, and when I looked for prestige, I saw a woman of about fifteen or sixteen years old slowly walking down from the carriage.
She has a slender figure, a country and a city, and a face that is incredibly beautiful, like a fairy coming out of a portrait, enchanting and pure.
I had never seen such an eye-wrenching woman, and I looked at her suspiciously, wondering which lady she was.
She also saw me, and her eyes, which had been smiling like stars, suddenly darkened, and she walked towards me, but she didn't say a word.
The emperor spoke: This is Prime Minister Su's daughter-in-law, Su Ge.
Prime Minister Su's daughter, I was suddenly stunned, and at the same time vigilant, for some reason I had an ominous premonition in my heart, and the woman's intuition told me that this woman would threaten my status. I don't understand why I feel that way, but I hated her at first sight.
The harem concubines all gathered around me at this time to welcome the emperor back to the palace, and they also saw her, bowing their heads and whispering not far away. They seemed to be more curious than I was about the purpose of the woman standing here.
At this time, I was with them in my hatred.
But she looked at us with a calm expression, silent, and the emperor did not explain to us her intentions.
A guard suddenly ran from a distance, handed her a saber in his hand, and his voice fell on my ears like thunder, and he said, "Niangniang, your sword has fallen."
She didn't hesitate to grasp the sword in her hand.
It was as if I had been poured a basin of cold water, and my whole body was cold. The guard called her Niangniang, and the emperor did not correct her. At this moment, all doubts pale in comparison.
Sure enough, the emperor ordered the palace people to clean up a palace in the harem and let her live there, causing a sensation in the harem.
