Concubine Xiao was a little surprised after listening to the palace maid Yu'er in the Yonghua Palace talk about the queen's mother's punishment of Wu Yan for seeing Wu Jieyu.

When Concubine Xiao met the queen at the stone arch bridge that day, the person who contradicted the queen was Concubine Zhao Chen, and the queen's mother slapped Concubine Zhao Chen's mouth on the spot, but that was because the queen was angry. Why did he hear that the queen mother punished Wu Yanjian after returning to the palace?

Wu Yanjian has not had a conflict with the queen mother since she entered the palace?

The palace maid Xiaoyu told Concubine Xiao: "Niangniang, when the queen returned to the palace that day, she was with a sense of anger and nowhere to vent, and she happened to meet Wu Jieyu, Wu Jieyu has always been like no one, and she also saluted when she saw the queen, but I heard the people in the queen's palace say that Wu Yan did not make a big salute at that time......

Then it must be that the queen's anger angered by Concubine Zhao Chen has not subsided, so she met Wu Yanjian, who is arrogant and stubborn, this Wu Yanjian's temperament is more or less similar to Concubine Zhao Chen, Wu Yan saw that the queen mother did not give a big gift, then the queen mother was furious and punished Wu Jieyu.

The queen has always been suppressed by Concubine Zhao Chen, and everyone in the palace thinks that the queen is a soft persimmon who is bullied, and over time, if the harem is not rectified, I am afraid that even the servants and maids in the palace will not be able to control it.

The palace maid Yu'er sent a hand warmer for Concubine Xiao again, and lit up the coals in Yonghua Palace, the weather gradually became colder, and the concubines in the palace became more and more disinclined to move around, Concubine Chang did not move around Yonghua Palace recently, and Concubine Xiao also happened to want to go to Concubine Chang's Weiyang Palace to sit.

Concubine Xiao supported Xiaoyu to go to Concubine Chang's place, but she didn't expect a little palace maid to run in recklessly.

Several older aunts in Yonghua Palace stopped this palace maid, and when several aunts were pulling the little palace maid, they accidentally turned the sleeves of the little palace maid up, and found that the little palace maid's body was all scars and bruises.

Concubine Xiao looked at it again and found that this little palace maid also had palm prints on her face, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, tears in her eyes, and her mouth seemed to have something to say.

Concubine Xiao pushed away Xiao Yu's action of putting on her cloak for herself, and stepped forward to check on the situation of the little palace maid.

I saw that the little palace maid who was covered with scars all over her body suddenly rushed to Xiao Concubine, knelt on the ground, and made a big salute to Xiao Concubine.

"Niangniang help, please save the slave!"

Concubine Xiao was a little puzzled, there were too many maids in the palace: "Which palace maid is this?" ”

The palace maid lying on the ground responded: "The slave maid is the ...... in the palace of the nobles of Yongning Palace."

Yu'er asked softly how the injuries on the palace maid's body came from, and then she knew that it was this palace maid who accidentally offended Lin Guiren and was beaten and scolded so far.

Everyone was amazed, on the day of the draft, Lin Zhiyi, the daughter of Governor Lin, was a beautiful girl, showing weakness and gentleness in her gestures, how could she do such a thing of beating and scolding people.

Concubine Xiao thought to herself, she really knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart, Lin Guiren is gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact she has such a dark and vicious side, this woman should not be underestimated.

It's really hard to imagine Lin Guiren's scolding of this palace maid, Xiao Concubine called a few grandmothers to give medicine to this little palace maid, surrounded the hot stove, and took off the palace maid's clothes, the woman's delicate skin was covered with scars, both new and old.

Mama sighed while taking the medicine, how could the master of Yongning Palace be so ruthless, he could do such a vicious thing, looking at this girl, there is no good skin and good meat.

As he was talking, a female official from the Shangyi Bureau walked in, and the grandmother was silent, and the hand that applied the medicine also listened. I saw that the female official leaned over slightly, saluted Concubine Xiao Niangniang, and then made a cold face, and said to the little palace maid covered with scars: "Moon Mirror, Niangniang punished you to wash the floor of Yongning Palace, how dare you leave at will?" ”

The female officer of the Shangyi Bureau continued: "Concubine Xiao forgives her sins, her subordinates are not sensible, and the slaves and maids will teach her well." ”

After speaking, the female official looked at the palace maid called Yuejing with cold eyes, Yuejing looked flustered, and after the medicine on her body was still dressed, she immediately sorted out the palace clothes on her body, followed behind the female official, and gave Concubine Xiao a complicated look when she left.

Concubine Xiao's heart also "chuckled", the moon mirror secretly ran out and was discovered by Lin Guiren, and I don't know what else will happen after I go back.

There is another thing that people can't figure out, that is, the distance between the Yongning Palace where Lin Guiren lives and the Yonghua Palace where he is located is not close, why does this palace maid called Yuejing not ask for help from the queen or concubine, but comes to this Yonghua Palace to find herself?

Could it be that Lin Guiren did it on purpose?

Thinking of the last look in the moon mirror just now, Concubine Xiao's heart was furious, if Lin Guiren really did it intentionally, it would be Lin Guiren who was provoking himself in secret. Concubine Xiao had a headache when she thought of this, and the palace maid Yu'er saw Concubine Xiao frowning and holding her forehead, so she hurriedly stepped forward to rub her temples for Niangniang.

Yu'er asked, "Niangniang, you have been suffering from migraines for the past few days, why don't you ask the doctor to take a look?" ”

Concubine Xiao has really had a headache these days, but she didn't care, she was even more uncomfortable today, and after listening to Yu'er's words, she felt that it was time to call the imperial doctor to take a look.

Imperial Physician Zhu came to Yonghua Hall to diagnose Xiao Concubine's pulse, but it turned out that Xiao Concubine's old problem after giving birth was committed again, and she often had headaches after giving birth. It's just that I haven't had such symptoms for a long time, and now that I've done it again, Concubine Xiao often feels that her hands and feet are cold.

Imperial Physician Zhu gave a prescription for migraine treatment, and prescribed an extra pair of medicines to invigorate blood and replenish qi.

Concubine Xiao seemed to remember something, and asked Imperial Physician Zhu: "When will this palace get pregnant, the emperor often stays in Yonghua Palace this month, but why is there no sign of pregnancy in this palace?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhu was a little confused about how to answer: "This...... Niangniang, when you get pregnant depends on the luck, it's just that Niangniang gave birth twice, and then fell into the root of the disease, and now it's really not easy to get pregnant......"

The atmosphere in Yonghua Palace instantly became depressing, and several grandmothers and Yu'er stopped talking.

After Dr. Zhu finished treating Concubine Xiao, he returned to Tai Hospital. The remaining maids and mothers were silent, and they didn't know whether to persuade Concubine Xiao or not. I saw that the chief eunuch Shunneng entered Yonghua Palace again.

"Concubine Xiao, Your Majesty will not come to Yonghua Palace tonight."

Concubine Xiao was about to ask the reason, but Shunneng's father-in-law added: "Lin Guiren is happy, there may be a firstborn noble son in the palace, and the queen mother and Her Majesty are in Yongning Palace." ”

Concubine Xiao's face changed instantly, Lin Guiren, pregnant?

I think that when Concubine Xiao was favored, the two children were not saved, and one child became a victim of the harem battle, and now, Lin Guiren, who has newly entered the palace, is pregnant. Is it really as Concubine Zhao Chen said, she will eventually fall out of favor and become a lonely concubine in the harem?

The rookie entered the palace, there were many daughters of the eunuchs, and the court officials sent their daughters into the palace one after another, and the concubines took the opportunity to take the throne, but there was only one purpose, that is, to protect the whole family by relying on the honor in the harem. Rely on the power of the daughter of the official family to seek a good future for her family.

The eunuch family and the concubines depend on each other and support each other.

But Concubine Xiao was sent into the palace by her family in her early teens, and she was born as a palace maid, and she did not have a strong family force behind her, nor was she like a new concubine, all of whom were from high-ranking official families. and have no offspring. In the future, how to survive in this bloody harem?

Not being able to have children is simply a big blow to Concubine Xiao.

Since the palace maid Xiaoyu and the palace concubine Yang Zipei were framed, Concubine Xiao has realized the terrible honor and power, and there is no way to be content with the status quo as before.

Now that she has infertility, Concubine Xiao specially instructed her subordinates to hide this matter and not make a noise. If this matter is known to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will be very dissatisfied with Xiao Concubine because of Xiao Concubine's help and Princess Yi give birth to an illegitimate child, if this matter is known by the Queen Mother, the emperor will definitely snub Xiao Concubine.

has no heirs, no status, if you lose the emperor's favor at this moment, everyone in the palace can trample on it.

Huangfu Zixuan has not been to Yonghua Palace for several days, as if it was a coincidence, he suddenly colded Xiao Concubine of Yonghua Palace, and Yonghua Palace has been bleak these days.

At this time, Yonghua Palace was quiet and lonely, but Concubine Zhao Chen of Yongfu Palace was prosperous and lively, singing and dancing.

Concubine Zhao Chen asked her father Zhao Taiping, and selected a group of Kabuki from Hexing Town, which is rich in beauties in water towns, to enter the palace.

In the main hall of the huge Yongfu Palace, Concubine Zhao Chen and the emperor sat on the soft couch, and the stoves around them had also been lit with charcoal.

It is said that the women of Hexing Town are the most charming and feminine, graceful and colorful, and the women of the water town are often skinny, slender and slender, and these kabuki are personally selected by Zhao Taiping to please the emperor, and it is said that every year a wave of women from different regions will be collected into the palace. And these Kabuki were personally selected by Zhao Taiping Zhao, and all of them are top beauties.

Young and beautiful, like a blooming begonia flower, the shoulders and waist are soft like water, at this time the dancers are surrounded by a woman who is humming a minor tune of the Jiangnan water town, which is really beautiful.

The emperor was also attracted by these women of Hexing Town, and applauded when he jumped to the beautiful place, and applauded when he sang to the wonderful place, all of which showed that he was attracted by this group of women.

Especially the singer who was surrounded by it, dressed in a beautiful red dress, charming and moving, from a distance, the pair of Danfeng eyes still have the charm of Concubine Xiao. The waist is soft, really like a begonia flower that I saw in the early morning, which was suppressed by the wind and rain, and then bounced up softly.

The emperor's eyes gradually became hot, and Concubine Zhao Chen clearly saw the emperor's expression on the side, and the expression on her face was a little unnatural.

The emperor couldn't take his eyes off the charming woman in red, and the woman also felt the emperor's gaze, ignoring Concubine Zhao Chen's already angry pale face, and smiled at the emperor even more charmingly and brightly.

Gradually getting closer, the light veil on her body was sprinkled in front of the emperor, Concubine Zhao Chen saw such a scene, she was furious, stood up and tore the woman's clothes.

The woman was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, only to see Concubine Zhao Chen take the torn yarn silk in her hand and throw it on the woman's face: "Presumptuous, bewitching and bewitching the lord, something without measure!" ”

Concubine Zhao Chen made such a fuss, and the Yongfu Palace, which was originally singing and dancing, instantly became extremely serious, and the interest of Huangfu Zixuan was completely lost.

"That's it, I still have important things, so Concubine Ai can rest by herself."

After the emperor left, the atmosphere of the huge Yongfu Palace dropped to the freezing point, and all these kabuki knelt down, everyone knew that this Concubine Zhao Chen was a very arrogant and domineering existence in the palace.
