The news that Concubine Shu was cut off the concubine and the eldest princess was grounded spread in the palace, and then there was a huge news - Cheng Guiren was pregnant!
In the Lanyue Palace, the melodious sound of the piano echoed.
"Why do you have time to come to this palace to play the piano today? How is Uncle Huang? β
Xiao Mo was lying lazily on the soft couch.
Lan Su replied, "The emperor sometimes goes to Cheng Guiren's place, and most of the time he rests here with his concubines. β
"Well, have you ever visited Cheng Guiren after she became pregnant?"
Xiao Moran nodded and asked.
Lan Su shook her head and replied, "I haven't been there yet." β
"Then go today, and go to the main palace too."
She said suddenly.
Lan Su was a little surprised and said, "You want to go too?" β
"Well, Cheng Guiren is Concubine De's cousin, this child is born, Concubine De has more strength, and it will be more difficult for you to bring down Concubine De in the future. Today, I will go to Cheng Guiren to explore the truth and reality. β
Xiao Mo said lightly.
Lan Su glanced at Xiao Mo Ran gratefully.
β¦β¦ A group of concubines also came to visit Cheng Guiren over there in Qingyang Pavilion.
"Sister Cheng is really blessed, this little prince has been two months!"
It was Li Meiren who spoke, and she said words of blessing in her mouth, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Obviously, Cheng Guiren has not slept as many times as her, why can she get pregnant!
Cheng Guiren was lying on the chaise longue, her eyes were full of disdain, and she said arrogantly, "Well, it's been almost two months." β
Her hand rested on her belly, which was not yet bulging, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was pregnant.
"Eldest princess, the Lan nobles have arrivedβ"
The shrill voice of the eunuch outside the door sounded.
"See the eldest princess."
Everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect Xiao Mo Ran to come, so they hurriedly got up and saluted, and even Cheng Guiren got up.
In fact, she is pregnant, even if the emperor comes, she can be coquettish without saluting, but this eldest princess can't.
Some time ago, the eldest princess was beaten by the maidservants next to the eldest princess because she was disrespectful to the eldest princess, and then she was grounded in the palace.
After all, the eldest princess is young, in case she angers her, the eldest princess will lose her child without knowing the severity, and it is estimated that the emperor will not punish the eldest princess heavily.
By then, she really won't have more to gain!
Xiao Mo Dye walked in, Lan Su followed behind, and as soon as he entered the hall, he smelled a fragrance.
"Let's all get up, Cheng Guiren doesn't need to be polite if he is pregnant."
"Princess Xie."
Cheng Guiren had a sweet smile on her face, and the smugness in her eyes was even worse, she was pregnant with a dragon species, and even the eldest princess came to visit her.
"The eldest princess came to the Qingyang Pavilion to make the Qingyang Pavilion shine! No wonder when the concubine got up this morning, she heard a magpie calling, it turned out that the eldest princess was coming! β
"Cheng Guiren said with a smile, there are more royal brothers in this palace soon, so naturally we have to take a look first."
Xiao Mo said nice words on his mouth, but his expression was still faint.
"Hehe, Princess Cheng's auspicious words."
The smile on Cheng Guiren's face deepened.
"It's so fragrant in the house, what does it smell like?"
Xiao Mo Ran asked.
"It was the spices brought by the concubine, which my father brought to the concubine from outside the palace, and it was said to have a calming effect, so the concubine brought some to Sister Cheng."
Liu Zhaoyi walked out and said with a light smile.
Xiao Mo Ran nodded.
After sitting for a while, Xiao Mo Ran left with Lan Su.
On the way, Lan Xian opened her mouth and said, "Princess, this time we don't need to take action, and Cheng Guiren's child can't be saved." β
"What's the matter, it's a problem with the spices?"
Xiao Mo Ran asked, but Liu Zhaoyi shouldn't be so drugged in the things he brought!
"No, it's Cheng Guiren's sachet. Although the aroma of the spices brought by Liu Zhaoyi in the house was very strong, the slave maid still asked, and there was a faint smell of fennel in Cheng Guiren's sachet. β
Lan Xian said that she was born with a more sensitive sense of smell than others.
"What is fennel?"
Lan Su asked.
"Fennel is a spice material, it has the effect of concentrating, but fennel is also a pungent and warm medicine, pungent and warm medicine hurts blood, pregnant women can not touch, if there is too much contact, the light is premature, and the child will not be saved."
"It must have been done by Liu Zhaoyi, she put fennel in Cheng Guiren's sachet, and then sent spices to cover up the smell of fennel, for fear of being discovered by the imperial doctor who came!"
Yunkong said.
"It's not her."
Xiao Mo Ran said affirmatively.
Yunkong looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "It's not Liu Zhaoyi, who is that?" β
"Liu Zhaoyi doesn't have the ability to put fennel in Cheng Guiren's sachet unknowingly. Now that Cheng Guiren is pregnant, the only one who can do this is Concubine De, who has been in charge of Cheng Guiren's daily life! β
"Concubine De? Concubine De has no heirs, and Cheng Guiren is her cousin, and now Cheng Guiren is pregnant, isn't this a tiger for Concubine De? Why did she still harm the child in Cheng Guiren's womb? β
For a while, even Lan Xian didn't understand.
"The harem has always said that it is not possible to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but the harem and the court have always been closely related. The concubines used the power of the family to win the favor of the saint, and the family relied on their favor to rise to the top. Concubine De's family, the Cheng family, is huge, and they sent Concubine De into the palace to help her to the highest position. But Concubine De has never had an heir, and the people in the Cheng family are naturally anxious, so they sent Cheng Guiren. Now that Cheng Guiren is pregnant, the attention of the Cheng family is naturally on her. In time, when Cheng Gui gives birth to a prince, the Cheng family will focus on her. In the end, no matter how powerful Concubine De is now, she will eventually become a stepping stone for Cheng Guiren. β
Xiao Mo said lightly.
"However, if Cheng Guiren's child is gone like this, the Cheng family and the emperor will naturally investigate it strictly, and I believe it will not be difficult to find out about Concubine De's head."
Lan Xian said.
"Do you think Concubine De will let the child flow like this? I think that than this, Concubine De will use this "fragile" child to bring down an enemy! β
Hearing this, Lan Su's face turned pale.
Xiao Moran saw it and said, "That person shouldn't be you." β
"Why, now the Lan nobles are the most favored, aren't they?"
"Although she is favored, after all, she has no background, and she is not a threat to Concubine De."
Xiao Mo Ran replied, "I think that person should be the Jade Concubine!" Concubine Yu's family background is strong enough to rival Concubine De, and the most important thing is that Concubine Yu has children! Moreover, the seventh prince, the son of the Jade Concubine, is young and arrogant, and he is the easiest to be used. β
Hearing this, everyone understood, Lan Xian asked, "Princess, what should we do." β
"I plan to help Cheng Guiren and save her child."
"Why?"
Yunkong asked.
"You know, the she-wolf who cares for her cubs is the most ferocious!"
Xiao Moran sneered.
"Leave this matter to the slave maid."
Wuxin said.
"Yes."
Xiao Mo Ran nodded.
"The princess wants Concubine De to fight among them, so that Cheng Guiren can contain Concubine De!"
Yunkong suddenly realized, and then asked, "What happened to Liu Zhaoyi?" β
"I'm afraid that now Liu Zhaoyi and Concubine De are already grasshoppers on a rope! I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for Cheng Guiren to contain the two of them alone, so it's okay to mention her secretly. β
The last sentence is addressed to Lansu.
"Yes."
Lan Su replied, she had been listening.
Is such a scheming really a seven-year-old girl?
She's glad she didn't choose the wrong person in the first place!
