In Yixiang Palace, Qiao Guiren sat on the soft couch with a bulging and round belly, and his four-month pregnancy made Qiao Guiren's figure much rounder.

At this time, Ning Guiren walked in with his subordinates, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Qiao Guiren hurriedly greeted, "Sister is here, sit down quickly." Ning Guiren did not show the slightest rustiness, and sat opposite Qiao Guiren very naturally, judging from the behavior of the two, they were very familiar, as if they were visiting each other.

Ning Guiren said with a smile, "My sister brought you some clothes, and after a while, your belly will be bigger, and you won't have any clothes to wear." ”

"It's still good for my sister to be good for my sister." , Qiao Guiren motioned to his subordinates to take over the tray, Ning Guiren's family is a big business in Jiangnan jewelry fabrics, and now most of the finished jewelry fabrics in the palace are from Ning Guiren's house, so a few pieces of clothing are not difficult for Ning Guiren.

Qiao Guiren stripped Ning Guiren's pants and said, "Sister, did you just come over for the queen?" ”

"Yes, I picked up the clothes from the Shangfu living room, and I stopped by to see you."

Qiao Guiren asked with great interest, "How was Concubine Ru's funeral yesterday?" I heard that Concubine Shu was executed, what the hell happened. Because Qiao Guiren was pregnant with an heir, the Queen Mother did not let her participate in the white affair, for fear of causing bad luck.

Ning Guiren broke a petal of orange and put it in his mouth, "The scene is very grand, I haven't seen any concubine's funeral so grand, just the funeral goods are enough for ten carriages, and the Taoist priest was invited to exceed, saying that the concubine is the evil star in the palace, saying that if the concubine is guilty of the evil star before the fragrance of the jade is damaged, the emperor was angry and gave the concubine three feet Bailing." ”

"Oh my God, Concubine Shu is a bad star? No wonder I have the power to take my son. After Qiao Guiren finished speaking, there was a slight resentment in his eyes. Ning Guiren couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "As long as you believe this, I always feel that someone wants to kill Concubine Shu." ”

"Who could that be?"

"I don't know how to do this, but I think it's so simple, yesterday's funeral was extraordinary, and Concubine Shu chased the concubine."

Qiao Guiren said disapprerovingly, "Everyone is dead, what's the use of chasing the concubine." ”

"How can it be useless, so as to show the royal family's attention to the Xue family, Hui Gui Concubine is now in the palace is not light, the personal eunuch has sealed the seven products and the palace maid has sealed the five products, and everyone in the palace is stammering, this morning the emperor promoted Hui Concubine to Hui Gui Concubine, and took over the charge of Yonghua Palace from Concubine Shu, looking for this, it is difficult to guarantee that she will be crowned concubine in the future."

"Hui Concubine has no merit and no heir, is Hui Concubine the emperor comforting the Xue family? The emperor also attaches too much importance to the Xue family, right? ”

"Even so, the Xue family is indeed loyal to the emperor, and this is also what the Xue family has earned with their blood and sweat on the battlefield."

"Cut, isn't she a concubine born in a high-ranking family? Otherwise, how could the emperor and the queen mother spoil her so much, now that she is a noble concubine, she must be very arrogant and arrogant, think about it, I feel angry, why do we have to climb up from the promise when we enter the palace, and she can directly seal the concubine. ”

"You don't need to be envious, a person with a family background like Hui Guifei must also have her troubles, do you think that the emperor will be comfortable living with the queen mother? How many people don't know how many times they have killed Hui Guifei in their hearts, and the days of sitting on pins and needles are not something you and I can control. You can raise the fetus with peace of mind now, give birth to the heir in the future, and be promoted to the throne, and the natural mother is expensive by her son. ”

In fact, if you think about it, Ning Guiren's family has a huge family, although it is not the home of the official eunuch, but it is also a big businessman in Jiangnan, and the jewelry and fabrics in the palace are all in and out of her house, the emperor should naturally pay attention to Ning Guiren, but this Ning Guiren is extremely cold to the emperor, and he naturally loses patience over time, otherwise Ning Guiren should at least be a concubine now.

Qiao Guiren listened to the words and nodded slowly, "Well, I know what I said, my sister listens to my sister." Ning Guiren said again, "Sister has nothing to do and stay away from Concubine Wan, don't you know what kind of temperament she has?" Concubine Wan is already jealous, why is the heir of Yixiang Palace thin, there is a reason for this, I can't make sure that any of your words offended her, and then I won't be able to save you even if I try my best! ”

Ning Guiren is like a sister teaching her sister, these truths Qiao Guiren understands no matter how bright his head is, but now if Qiao Guiren doesn't rely on Concubine Wan, how can Concubine Wan keep this child.

Sometimes it's an evil door, saying that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, only to listen to the eunuch outside the door preaching, "Concubine Wan Niangniang drove to ......"

Both of them got up to greet them, "Say hello to Concubine Wan." Concubine Wan entered the palace and sat down, and said with a smile, "Get up, how many times has this palace said it, Qiao Guiren is pregnant now, and the cumbersome etiquette will be waived." ”

Concubine Wan's face was smiling, and Ning Guiren felt uncomfortable. The more scheming people are, when they laugh, they are ill-intentioned, and when you and Qiao Guiren sit down, Qiao Guiren ordered, "What are you doing standing, and you don't show tea to Concubine Wan." Concubine Wan said with a smile, "This palace happened to pass by Qiao Guiren, so I came over to take a look." ”

At this time, the palace people served tea, and Qiao Guiren smiled and said, "Concubine Xie Niangniang is in love." A smile bloomed on Concubine Wan's extremely delicate face, "Such a major event as pregnancy is out of this palace, Yixiang Palace, this palace naturally has to be worried, and my sister doesn't need to be too polite." ”

Although Concubine Wan was smiling, she could see that Ning Guiren and Qiao Guiren were extremely uncomfortable, Concubine Wan looked at Ning Guiren and smiled, "Ning Guiren and Qiao Guiren have a good relationship, right?" Your noble face was solemn and had no intention of talking, so Qiao Guiren took over and said, "Concubine Ji and Ning Guiren entered the palace at the same time, and they have similar personalities, so the relationship is closer." ”

"That's naturally good, and there is a care on weekdays."

Ning Guiren didn't want to listen to Concubine Wan's hypocrisy, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Concubine Wanniang, please forgive Concubine Ji for being rude, Concubine Ji suddenly remembered that there was such a thing in the palace, so she took her leave first." Concubine Wan also felt that Ning Guiren was in the way here, so she nodded and said, "Ning Guiren can go and get busy if you have something." ”

"Concubine Ji retires." , Ning Guiren got up and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to glance at Qiao Guiren worriedly.

When Concubine Wan saw that Ning Guiren was gone, the smile on her face instantly turned into indifference, and then she said in a sharp tone, "What are you doing for Lu now, can't you fight for the holy favor if you are pregnant?" Qiao Guiren suddenly heard that Concubine Wan's tone changed greatly, and he knew that the situation was not good, and said in a petite voice, "Concubine Ji doesn't know." ”

"Hmph, the daughter of a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but she is still a little nobleman to this day! Always messing with people like Ning Guiren who are not favored, how can they be in the hands of holy favor?"

Concubine Wan's tone was mean, Qiao Guiren didn't dare to say anything more now, Concubine Wan was even more angry when she saw Qiao Guiren's submissive appearance, and said indignantly, "Since you became pregnant, you have only been favored for a month, so you still rely on this palace to teach you step by step, can't you grow your brain?" Now the emperor can take you in his eyes? On the Queen Mother's birthday, the dress is showing, the emperor didn't even look at you, the favor was all taken away by Hui Guifei, and the Queen Mother was greeted during the Spring Festival, and the emperor's hurried smile was enough to explain everything! Do you remember what you promised Hongu? Isn't the holy favor still being dominated by that slut in Yonghua Palace? Waste one, in vain this palace cultivated you like this, what's the use of keeping your belly until now? ”

When Qiao Guiren heard this, he was instantly shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Concubine Wan is angry, it's not that Concubine Ji doesn't want to compete for favor, but if the emperor doesn't come to Concubine Ji, Concubine Ji has no choice." ”

Concubine Wan looked at Qiao Guiren, who was kneeling on the ground with a big belly, without any pity, and continued to reprimand, "Won't you think of a way if the emperor doesn't come?" Now that you are pregnant, how can you not hold the emperor's heart? ”

Qiao Guiren only felt aggrieved, and said with tears in his eyes, "Concubine Ji will try her best, please give Concubine Ji time." ”

"Humph! Now that Xianggui Concubine has been promoted to the position and is in charge of Yonghua Palace, why don't you raise the three princes? That's because the third prince is already old, even if she stays by her side, she will not be used by her, if she has a prince, she can be a concubine, and she is in charge of Yonghua Palace justifiably, but she has been in the palace for so long, and there is no news about her stomach, and she will wait for you to give birth to an heir and then ask for it, the Xue family is now in a very important position, and the emperor will not refuse to allow it, and when the time comes, you will be promoted, what if you have no heir? Qiao Guiren, you have to know that you are not only fighting for the favor of the palace, but also paving the way for yourself, are you willing to be a substitute tool? ”

Concubine Wan's words were imprinted on Qiao Guiren's heart, how could she give up the child to others again? No, she won't! Concubine Wan said in a sour tone, "Think about your future." Then he got up and walked out of the Chengfu Hall without hesitation.

Concubine Wan walked on the way back to the palace, and Concubine Wan's personal maid Xiuzhu followed her and said with a little dissatisfaction, "This noble Qiao is really stupid, and she is not favored when she is pregnant." Concubine Wan took a faint breath and said, "This palace really hates iron and steel!" Now that the power of Huigui's concubine is getting bigger and bigger, the palace has to guard against it. ”

"Yes, Concubine Hui is a member of the Xue family, she is favored by the emperor, the queen mother is in pain, and she is friendly with Concubine Yi, so she will definitely be a threat in the future."

As soon as Concubine Wan heard the three words of Concubine Yi, she instantly became displeased, "Hmph, just because of the fact that she is friendly with Concubine Yi, this palace can't keep her!" It seems that it is not possible not to put some pressure on Qiao Guiren, Xiuzhu, spread the wind, and said that the emperor will pass on the child in Qiao Guiren's belly to others, and as for who to pass it on, there is no need to show it. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Concubine Wan instantly showed a wicked smile at the corner of her mouth, which made people cautious.
