Chapter 448: Falling Out of Favor (2)

Months passed in a flash.

There was good news from the prince's mansion that a concubine was pregnant. The prince was in a very happy mood, and he was also very satisfied with the virtuous and generous concubine Mo who managed the inner house in an orderly manner, and stayed overnight frequently.

Some people are proud, and naturally some people are disappointed.

In the past few months, Shen Qiuyu's status in the mansion has plummeted. In the past, the scenery was infinite, and even Mohs was pressed down. The subordinates in the prince's mansion are naturally flattering. But now the prince is increasingly neglecting Shen Qiuyu, staying very little, sometimes even not going to her courtyard for ten and a half months. Such obvious signs of falling out of favor can be seen as long as you have eyes.

For this, almost everyone in the prince's mansion is happy. In the past few years, Shen Qiuyu almost alone occupied the prince's favor. Together, many concubines are not as good as her. It is true that her life is better, but the life of the concubines is sad. Moreover, Shen Qiuyu looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact she is scheming and ruthless, and she doesn't know how many yin methods she used to deal with other concubines, which has already caused everyone to be dissatisfied. Now that feng shui is taking turns, it is finally Shen Qiuyu's turn to have such a day. It's strange that everyone doesn't take the opportunity to fall into the well and vent their evil spirits.

What's more, the shape of the house is obvious now. If you want to attach yourself to the Mo family, you have to draw a line with Shen Qiuyu. Even some of the people who had been co-opted by Shen Qiuyu before began to waver.

After all, the Mo family is a serious prince and concubine, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, the Mo family is a well-deserved queen of the six palaces. Shen Qiuyu reluctantly tied with her when she was favored, but once she lost her favor, why should she be compared with Mo's again? Fools know what to choose.

What's even more exciting. Mo was very lenient in his treatment of pregnant concubines. Take Concubine Lin as an example, she was just an insignificant concubine back then. But after getting pregnant. was immediately sent to a grange in the suburbs to recuperate and give birth. There were also a few experienced housekeeper mothers who took care of the Lin family properly. Enron gave birth to a son. The Mo family adopted his son to his name, and asked for the title of the Lin family, and the Lin family became a side concubine, how could he not be grateful to the Mo family. The Lin family's precedent is undoubtedly a clear signal for the concubines. Only by attaching to Mohs is a bright and smooth road!

Shen Qiuyu's power in the backyard has almost disappeared in just a few months. Now there are only two or three people who are willing to walk around her yard. Compared with the scene of the infinite scenery in the past, it is simply incomparable.

There is no need to elaborate on what Shen Qiuyu feels in his heart. Anyway, Mo Shi and Concubine Lin were very happy in their hearts.

"Her Highness hasn't been to her courtyard for ten days." Concubine Lin lowered her voice. There was a smug glint in her eyes: "No matter how beautiful she is, how charming she is, and how she has means, after all these years, Her Highness is tired of seeing it." I'm afraid I'm tired of her for a long time! Look at what kind of reserved and arrogant face she will put on in the future. "Hmph, with the favor of His Royal Highness, I really treat myself as a phoenix. I don't want to think that she was just an orphan girl who took refuge in the Dingguo Mansion back then, and in terms of identity, she was still inferior to herself!

Mo smiled faintly: "Don't underestimate her." She's scheming more than you might think. Now I'm just caught hurting my feet, so I'm temporarily out of favor. With the heart of His Royal Highness, when the anger passes, maybe he will think of her again. ”

Concubine Lin was submissive on her lips, but she was not very convinced in her heart.

Mo didn't bother to say more to her. Concubine Lin is obedient enough. It's a pity that he is a bit stupid and short-sighted. See things only at the surface...... Of course, that's exactly what she needs.

If Shen Qiuyu was really so easy to deal with, would he still be aggrieved for so many years?

Don't look at the prince who is a lot more alienated and indifferent to Shen Qiuyu now, but there is no shortage of food and clothing. Even if it's a good thing from the palace. is definitely indispensable to her share. It can be shown that in the heart of the prince, Shen Qiuyu has not really lost his favor. The cold and alienation in the past few months has been deliberately done by the prince. It's a punishment and a warning.

Shen Qiuyu is an extremely smart woman, and she clearly sees the prince's intentions. But he did nothing, allowing the prince to snub and alienate himself. Let everyone laugh and laugh. In this way, the prince who values feelings and misses the old will sooner or later be soft-hearted. If Shen Qiuyu wants to regain favor, it is not a difficult thing......

I have to say that Shen Qiuyu saw the weakness of the prince, and this trick was very clever. However, people are not as good as heaven. Shen Qiuyu probably didn't expect that another concubine would be pregnant!

The corners of Moh's lips curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

The crown prince is already twenty-three, not only himself, but also Empress Gu also attaches great importance to the heir. Regardless of whether this concubine will give birth to a man or a woman in the future, in short, she has become the new favorite of the prince at this time. Under such circumstances, Shen Qiuyu's pitiful and sympathetic tricks, does the prince still have the heart to appreciate it?

This time, Shen Qiuyu wanted to regain the disadvantage, but it was even more difficult......

The subtle changes in the prince's mansion can't be hidden from Gu Xinian.

A few years ago, Gu Xinian secretly planted people in the prince's mansion. In order not to alarm the shrewd Mo Clan, Gu Xinian ordered these secret guards to stay put, and only regularly collected some news and passed it back to the house. In the past few months, he knows all the embarrassment and cold treatment that Shen Qiuyu has encountered.

At this time in his previous life, Shen Qiuyu has always been favored, and no matter how many beauties there are in the Prince's Mansion, no one has given birth to a child safely. But in this life, first the Lin family gave birth to a child, and now there is another Zhang family pregnant, and there may be more in the future......

Shen Qiuyu's "good luck" came to an end as early as the moment he was reborn.

But this qiē is far from enough.

He wouldn't kill Shen Qiuyu because it would be too cheap for her. He wants Shen Qiuyu, a woman who is greedy and vain, can give up anything for glory and wealth, lose her pride and live in endless regret and pain......

“…… What are you thinking? Why are you wandering again? The prince asked with a smile as he held a wine glass in his hand.

Tonight's dinner is set up in the prince's mansion, and several people here are all sent by the prince. As the so-called familiarity is not formal, after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious. When several men are together, in addition to talking about political affairs, they are talking about some ups and downs. Gu Xinian sat there silent, looking absent-minded. Naturally, the prince's idea was aroused.

Gu Xinian calmed down, smiled and raised his glass: "I haven't had time to congratulate Your Highness, I heard that there is good news in the backyard again, and it seems that there will be a Ding at the end of the year." I'll do it first! ”

Speaking of this, the prince was in a good mood and drank with a smile. patted Gu Xinian's shoulder again: "Don't always talk about me, when are you going to marry Mei Jiao Niang back?" ”

This topic immediately aroused everyone's interest, and they all smiled and agreed.

"Yes, I have long heard that the tenth lady of the Ye Mansion has a shy face for the closed moon, otherwise she would not have made the dignified Gu Shilang fall in love with her."

"On the day Gu Shilang got married, we had to have a good look at the beauty......"

If you say that the girl who has been in the limelight in the aristocratic circle of the capital in the past few months, it is none other than this Miss Ye Shi. can get the queen's mother to marry in person, and the other party is Gu Xinian, who is known as the most beautiful man in the capital. At the same time, there is a huge difference in the status of the two, which adds a bit of legend to this marriage. However, she rarely appears in front of people, and in the past few months, there has been a steady stream of invitations sent to Changyuan Bofu, but she never goes to the banquet. Such a low profile makes people more and more curious about her. The ladies in the backyard often mentioned it, and even a bunch of men were curious.

has been close or friendly with Gu Xi for many years, and he can't help but ask a few curious questions when talking. But Gu Xinian was tight-lipped and refused to say anything. This makes it even more itchy. It was rare to have such an opportunity, and everyone refused to let it go, and began to besiege Gu Xinian again.

Gu Xinian let everyone joke, with a smile in his dark eyes, but no matter what everyone said, he neither nodded nor shook his head.

Such an ambiguous attitude certainly made everyone dissatisfied. One of them was bold, and he actually joked with a little bit of alcohol: "No matter how beautiful this Miss Ye Shi is, she can't be as beautiful as Concubine Shen!" ”

The prince smiled.

These words are actually complimenting him on getting a beauty that is hard to find in the world. No matter how beautiful the other women are, they are not as good as the begonia in his backyard. If it had been before, he would only be happy to hear it.

But now, hearing such words in front of Gu Xinian, he couldn't be happy at all. I even feel hot on my face......

After the man spoke, he knew that he had lost his words, his smile was a little stiff, and his heart was even more annoyed.

Actually, such a joke is really nothing, it used to be said that the prince laughed when he heard it. But that was more than a year ago. Since Gu Xinian and the crown prince reconciled as before, everyone was very interested in never mentioning Shen Qiu at the banquet. It's also a ghost who sends God, and today I somehow came up with such a sentence. It's like poking a knife in the hearts of the prince and Gu Xinian......

Just when the atmosphere was delicate and awkward, Gu Xinian, who had been silent, smiled leisurely and said, "What Brother Shen said is not right. If you compare beauty to flowers, some people like begonias, and some people love orchids, which can only be said to be different in their preferences. But it is not good to judge which of the two flowers is higher and which is lower. After a pause, he smiled again: "At least, in my eyes, there is no woman more beautiful than Miss Ye Shi." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter. The previous awkward atmosphere was suddenly swept away.

Of course, no one felt that Gu Xinian was telling the truth.

The man surnamed Shen glanced at Gu Xinian gratefully: "What Gu Shilang said is reasonable, but I am too biased, so I will punish myself with three cups." (To be continued......)
