30. Chapter 30

The greetings from Jingchen Palace came much faster than Zheng Shao and Zheng Wei thought.

Zheng Shao and Zheng Wei suppressed their surprise and saluted the visitor, "I've seen Concubine Niangniang." ”

This lady concubine is said to be the highest-status concubine in the harem except for the queen, but she has always been alone, not to mention which concubine's palace to visit, even the tea party held by Kun and the palace is also absent from time to time, Zheng Wei and the others did not expect that the first person to come to congratulate was her.

Concubine Shu smiled faintly, "Didn't the two sisters expect me to come?" ”

Although they are all cold appearances, Concubine Shu is different from Concubine Xue, who pretended to be cold before, and Su Lan, who is now Su Xuan's servant, she is really cold. Because, since the sisters entered the palace, the emperor has never turned over her sign once, and she has never been made fun of by others in her depressed and anxious appearance, let alone jumping up and down for this, but just as if she didn't exist, she just nested in the Qitai Palace every day and lived her own life.

Zheng Shao was stunned, she didn't expect Concubine Shu to speak so directly, Zheng Wei hurriedly smiled and said: "No, now Qianning Palace should have just withdrawn the banquet, we didn't expect Niangniang to come so quickly." ”

Concubine Shu smiled and explained, "When I went back to the palace, I stopped by to see my sister." ”

Zheng Shao smiled and thanked her: "My sister has a heart." Also called Chengxin, "Serve tea to the lady concubine." ”

Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu raised her hand to stop and said: "No need, I just came to congratulate my sister and leave, there should be more people coming later, I have always been impatient and annoying," her eyes turned to Zheng Shao's abdomen, and then glanced at Zheng Wei: "My sister really envy my sister's good fortune, I hope that my sister's blessing can be longer." ”

If this was said by Concubine Rou or the queen, Zheng Wei would definitely think that this person was deliberately threatening Zheng Shao, so that she would be upset. But Concubine Shu has no children, no favors, and their sisters have never offended her, why did she say that?

The key is that I can't figure out her intentions, this is easy for Concubine Shu to say, but Zheng Shao is not easy to accept.

Unexpectedly, in everyone's impression, the cold and withdrawn Concubine Shu is a cold king.

Zheng Wei wanted to laugh inexplicably, but at this moment, there was a voice outside, "The emperor has arrived".

The emperor had a faint smell of wine on his body, and when he entered the house, he saw that Zheng Shao was about to bend down and bow down, so he hurriedly took two steps forward to help her, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ai is exempt." He turned his face again, and was stunned when he saw Concubine Shu, "Why are you here?" ”

Concubine Shu said: "Mrs. Ying is pregnant with a dragonborn, I will say hello." ”

The emperor said "um": "You stay in the palace all day long, and you should go out for a walk." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zheng Shao again. Zheng Wei stood next to him and saw it really, to be precise, it was the emperor's eyes that fell on Zheng Shao's stomach again.

Concubine Shu didn't answer, "The concubine just stopped by to see Mrs. Ying, if it's okay, the concubine will retire." ”

The emperor nodded indifferently, Zheng Wei had something on her mind, and she was busy taking Concubine Shu's convenience, preparing to withdraw quietly as before.

No, Zheng Wei didn't take two steps, the emperor turned his head and suddenly stopped her: "Zheng Meiren, don't go, I have something to ask you." ”

Zheng Wei somehow, suddenly remembered what Shen Jun said in the morning, and she stammered, "Emperor, please ask." ”

The Emperor laughed, "What are you nervous about?" I don't eat people. "To be honest, the emperor's voice is quite magnetic, and he speaks so calmly, which has a lot of flavor of the voice actor she liked in her previous life. But the emperor just stopped her at this juncture, and it was impossible for Zheng Wei not to be nervous.

She slowly adjusted her breathing and listened to the emperor say, "I want to ask you, how is Madame Ying's diet recently, why didn't any of you find out that Madame Ying was pregnant before?" ”

Don't say that Zheng Wei is having trouble with Zheng Shao these days, it is impossible to know these little things about diet, but she knows, isn't it more appropriate to ask Chengxin or the jade version?

Zheng Wei was about to answer, but Concubine Shu, who was already about to go out, suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, aren't these things more clear to Mrs. Ying's palace maid?" She is a little beauty, and she doesn't live with Mrs. Ying, how can she have palace maids who know more about the situation? ”

Zheng Wei can probably guess the reason why the emperor doesn't go to Concubine Shu's, there are so many people present, Concubine Shu can still talk like this without giving the emperor face, who would be willing to make herself uncomfortable? Concubine Shu can achieve today's position, and her identity as "Empress Deyi's niece" may be the decisive factor.

The emperor did not speak immediately, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment. Zheng Wei was embarrassed, she was not so scared, and she heard Zheng Shao coquettish with the emperor: "What are you doing, Your Majesty, how old are people, and they still don't know how to take care of themselves?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't I care about you? ”

Zheng Shao snorted: "Don't think that the concubine doesn't know, you don't care about the concubine, you must only care about the little prince in the concubine's belly." ”

Zheng Wei secretly raised her eyes and saw the emperor with his back to her, while Zheng Shao hugged the emperor's arm, and one hand was behind the emperor's back and she was making a quick walking gesture.

When Zheng Wei withdrew, Concubine Shu was standing at the bottom of the steps and hadn't left, was she waiting for her?

Zheng Wei stepped forward with some doubts, ready to thank Concubine Shu, after all, everyone could see her nervousness, and Concubine Shu could be regarded as relieving her. Concubine Shu opened her mouth first, "It's rare that there is a concubine in the harem who doesn't want to invite favor in front of the emperor, what are you for?" ”

There has always been no shortage of smart people in the palace, and Zheng Wei is not surprised that her thoughts have been guessed, but many things are not easy to be exposed even if they are seen through.

Zheng Wei explained with a smile: "Concubine Shuniang, my sister is nervous because she is afraid that she will not be able to answer the emperor's words, because-"

"I knew you were going to say such nonsense," Concubine Shu interrupted Zheng Wei very impolitely, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, I don't have to know." ”

She turned around and took two steps, as if she had just remembered, "You have a word to Mrs. Ying, I am in a hurry today, and I will send her a congratulatory gift tomorrow." ”

Zheng Wei looked at the back of Concubine Shu leaving and frowned: Zheng Shao is pregnant, and it is natural that there are many people who want to tie up, but Concubine Shu is also too anxious, and her attitude is that she is talking to Zheng Shao, which is too different, right?

In previous years, after the palace banquet on August 15, the emperor would take the palace concubines to the top of the palace city to admire the moon. It's just that this year, after all, the first emperor died less than one year ago, and it was not good for the palace to celebrate, so the subsequent activities were canceled. However, according to the monthly system, the emperor has to go to the queen's palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to rest.

Therefore, although the emperor came to see Zheng Wei in the evening, he only sat down for a moment and left quickly.

Zheng Wei was disappointed: when she left the main hall, she deliberately walked around the courtyard several times, but she didn't find a chance to talk to Shen Jun alone. During the day, there are many people and the doors are wide open, and even the palace maids and eunuchs can't act alone when they occasionally go out to the palace gate, let alone in a courtyard? It's full of ears and eyes.

Zheng Wei thought about it, and at present, the only opportunity for her to pass on the news to Shen Jun was to stay in Jingchen Palace, when the corner door of the night incense was opened, and the emperor had not left the next morning.

However, Zheng Shao is pregnant, and obviously there is no way to roll the sheets with the emperor before this, so how should she find a way to inform him?

Zheng Wei didn't sleep all night, and when she woke up the next day, she was in poor spirits. Zheng Shao was two points haggard than her, and was sitting on the dressing table yawning.

Chengxin was persuading her, "Madam, according to the slave maid, wouldn't it be good for you to take a leave from the queen and lie down comfortably at home?" ”

Zheng Shao shook his head and said: "It's not good, my relationship with the queen is already poor, if I don't go to ask for peace as soon as I get pregnant, I don't know how it will be secretly arranged." I used to be able to not care, but with it, I can't let people seize the opportunity and let people talk. ”

When she said this, her hand unconsciously gently stroked her stomach, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Zheng Wei sighed straight: It is said that women will grow up quickly after becoming mothers, this is true, Zheng Shao just spent one night, talking and acting as if she had changed her appearance.

A day passed, and the emperor really did as Zheng Wei expected, except for going to Jingchen Palace in the evening to sit in the evening, the next day he stayed for a meal, and did not stay in Jingchen Palace again.

Zheng Wei looked for several opportunities, but she couldn't get close to Shen Jun alone, and the two of them were surrounded by people.

On the periphery of the palace where Kun Si is located, that is, in the front court, Zheng Wei, as the queen concubine, can go to the front except for the palace banquet held in the front court like the fifteenth, and she is definitely not allowed to set foot in the front court at ordinary times.

Shen Junti's method didn't work at all.

On the evening of the third day, the emperor arrived at Jingchen Palace at the same time.

When Zheng Wei exited Jingchen Palace like two days ago, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Jun standing in front of the steps, and when she came down the steps, it was the closest time for the two of them.

Zheng Wei walked down the stairs absentmindedly, she was wearing a silver striped flower drag skirt today, she had an idea, pretended to be tripped by the skirt, and the whole person suddenly threw herself down the steps!

She closed her eyes and began to scream: It depends on this bet if it is not successful!

Fortunately, at the moment when his face was about to hit the ground, Shen Jun really reached out and grabbed her.

Zheng Wei turned around and grabbed his clothes, and when the two of them were almost wiping their faces, Zheng Wei whispered something to Shen Jun.

Looking at Shen Jun's slightly widening eyes, Zheng Wei knew that he had heard her words.

However, before Zheng Wei could be happy, a broken cry sounded: "Zheng Meiren, you hug a man in broad daylight, what kind of system is this?!" ”
