Jingyun's complexion finally improved, but there were still some regrets.

"It's still the young lady who thinks it through, and the slave and maid will ask someone to send it back to the Qing Palace." Jing Yun said respectfully, picked up the long box and was about to walk to the door.

Fu Ruolan answered, looking at Jingyun and walking out of the door.

The gentle wind mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers blew over, and the feeling of the breeze made Fu Ruolan feel good.

It's already March, and it's not far from Concubine Xi's birth day, these days Fu Ruolan has to go to see Concubine Xi every time, sometimes even a few times, and she can't wait to move into the Core Lotus Palace.

Concubine Xi's child is very important to Fu Ruolan, as long as she is born safely, she will be beneficial, if there is a half-point difference, I am afraid that the emperor will take Fu Fu for questioning.

She can't afford this responsibility, so she has to do her best to do it well.

Concubine Xi's imminent birth has become a great news in the palace, everyone is looking forward to Concubine Xi giving birth to a prince, and some palace maids and eunuchs even secretly bet in private whether Concubine Xi will give birth to a baby boy or a baby girl.

In the face of Concubine Xi's imminent birth, the concubines in the palace were a little unable to sit still, and the performance of the queen and Wu Guifei was particularly obvious.

The queen has no children and no daughters under her knees, and now the emperor is so fond of Concubine Xi, if a little prince is born again, I am afraid that her future position will not be guaranteed.

Before the emperor set up the prince, Wu Guifei was worried about Nan Yuchen's future, although the emperor liked Nan Yuchen, but he was reluctant to make him the prince, which made Wu Guifei very headache.

If Concubine Xi has another little prince, I am afraid that the emperor will leave him the position of prince.

Concubine Xi was also very safe during this time, and she didn't want to make any extraneous branches at all, so she didn't even go to ask the Queen Mother to ask for peace, and she couldn't go out of the Xinlian Palace in half a step, which was the privilege given to her by the emperor.

Ligong.

Wu Guifei sat on the chaise longue, leisurely shaking the fan, but her brows were furrowed, and she refused to stretch out.

Cui'er pressed her shoulder, saw her like this, and said worriedly: "Niangniang is worrying about the affairs of His Royal Highness the Seventh?" ”

In the past few days, the rumors in the city have intensified, saying that His Royal Highness the Seventh is about to divorce the Seventh Princess, and then marry Fu Ruolan, the second lady of the Fu family, and that the Seventh Princess was caught stealing a man by His Royal Highness the Seventh, and His Royal Highness wrote a letter of resignation in anger.

There are all kinds of rumors.

"What can Chen'er do?" Wu Guifei asked lightly, the implication was that this was not what she was worried about.

The rumors in the city passed in a few days at most, and they had little impact.

Cui'er frowned, a little puzzled what Wu Guifei was thinking, the strength of her hand was a little heavier, and it took her a long time to think of it, and she said loudly: "Niangniang, but I am bored because of Concubine Xi's imminent birth?" ”

If you want to talk about the recent major event in this palace, that is, Concubine Xi is about to give birth, because the emperor is happy about this, but the concubines in this harem are suffering, and they can't do anything else except envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Before Wu Guifei could speak, her father-in-law's voice rang out, "The queen has arrived." ”

Wu Guifei was startled, and hurriedly got up from the chaise longue, stood upright, looked at the dignified and elegant queen who slowly walked in from the entrance of the palace, and walked over, "My sister has seen my sister, but I don't know that my sister has arrived, and I hope my sister will forgive me." ”

"When did the concubine become so polite to me?" The corners of the queen's mouth hooked, and she smiled mockingly.

Wu Guifei's face flashed with embarrassment, and her face was not good-looking.

She and the queen have always been incompatible, and today was to take care of etiquette, but I didn't expect the queen to be so ignorant.

"The queen mother laughed, my sister just abides by the etiquette in the palace, after all, she can't mess with the seniority." Wu Guifei smiled lightly, and replied with a mockery.

The queen's face turned pale, and when Wu Guifei said this, she was obviously saying that she didn't understand the rules and etiquette.

It's really infuriating!

"Alright." Wu Guifei didn't want to sell Guan Zi anymore, and when she saw the queen's black face, she was in a good mood, "What are you doing with me?" ”

The queen changed her face and remembered that she was not here to quarrel with Concubine Wu, at the moment, they had a more important enemy.

"Concubine Xi is about to give birth." The queen said in an indifferent tone, as if she was just recounting a fact to Concubine Wu.

Wu Guifei frowned slightly, "I know, but what does this matter have to do with me?" ”

She knew what the queen meant, but Concubine Xi was about to give birth, what else could she do besides seeing her give birth safely? Now if the child loses Concubine Xi, something will happen to her, Concubine Xi is now the emperor's heart, if something happens to her, the emperor will not pursue the consequences when he is angry?

If the emperor is really angry, let alone the position of her concubine, even the queen's throne is afraid of being guaranteed.

"Guifei Niangniang, this palace has always felt that His Royal Highness the Seventh is good, he has both cultivation and filial piety, if he becomes the Ninety-Five Emperor one day, he will definitely be a Ming Jun." The queen smiled slightly and said lightly.

Wu Guifei's eyes flashed, and when the queen saw this, she said: "There are no children or daughters under the knees of this palace, and His Royal Highness the Seventh is so filial, he is deeply favored by this palace, and the position of the prince must be able to help this palace too." ”

Although the queen has no children and no daughters, the forces behind it are terrifying, which is also one of the factors for her to become the queen.

Even the emperor had to be jealous of the queen's background.

But the mother's family will grow old one day, and the queen can't always rely on her mother's family, and she has to find some of her own people in the palace.

Wu Guifei naturally knew the relationship of interests, glanced at the queen a few times, saw her sincere, and hesitated a few times in her heart.

She didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but as the queen said, if the fetus in Concubine Xi's womb was not born, then Nan Yuchen would still be the best candidate for the prince, plus the queen was willing to help support, Nan Yuchen would definitely win the battle for the position of the prince.

"Concubine Wu, you know what this palace means, if we don't join forces this time, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in the future." The queen reminded, her tone worried.

As long as Concubine Xi is born as a boy, the position of the two of them in this harem is about to change hands.

The queen is better, but Wu Guifei is different, at that time, the emperor will directly promote Concubine Xi to concubine, and stand on the same level as Wu Guifei.

Wu Guifei has been a concubine for so many years, and now a young and beautiful woman is standing in the same position as her, how can she be convinced? How do you swallow this breath?

"I know." Wu Guifei said lightly, still a little worried in her heart.

There are too many aspects for her to consider, if she joins forces with the queen this time, it will be good if she succeeds, but if she doesn't succeed, she will be sued by Concubine Xi in the future, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Suddenly, under the gaze of the queen, Wu Guifei nodded, "Okay, I promise you." ”

A satisfied smile appeared on the queen's face, "I'll ask my guard to tell you what to do later, he'll be here soon." ”
