Chapter Ninety-Six: Rumors
I looked at Aunt Cangyun and hesitated a little and felt that she might not know much, but curiosity still prompted me to want to know about her, and sure enough, as I expected, Aunt Cangyun did say that she didn't know much about herself
"If I want to say something else, I may know a thing or two, if it is about Concubine Shu, I don't know much." I nodded, consciously letting Aunt Cangyun continue, now I want to know even the slightest bit of news.
"I, too, listened to some rumors in the palace, and heard the people in the palace say that it doesn't seem that the emperor doesn't let Concubine Shu get pregnant, but it sounds like the Queen Mother doesn't let Concubine Shu get pregnant." Aunt Cangyun used a relatively small voice when she said this again, presumably she was also afraid of being heard.
I myself knew that this kind of thing couldn't be said and discussed out loud, so I didn't care about the size of Aunt Cangyun's voice, but when Aunt Cangyun said this, it surprised me a little.
When I started to ask Aunt Cangyun why Concubine Shu couldn't get pregnant, I originally thought that I could accept all possibilities, but what I didn't expect was that when Aunt Cangyun told me this reason, I was a little surprised, how could the Queen Mother take care of Concubine Shu, how could she not let Concubine Shu get pregnant?
I looked at Aunt Cangyun with suspicion, I wanted to ask her to continue, let me know more about this matter, and Aunt Cangyun seemed to understand what I meant, so she continued.
"I heard that it's because the Queen Mother doesn't like Concubine Shu's temperament and doesn't let Concubine Shu get pregnant." Aunt Cangyun was surprised when she said this, how could she not let her get pregnant just because she didn't like her temperament?
If the queen mother is in charge of the emperor's behavior, I can understand it, but if it is in charge of giving birth to a child, I don't understand it, but if it is like this, it is reasonable, after all, if the queen mother is idle, she naturally has to follow her temperament in everything, and if there is a place that does not follow her thoughts, it may cause some trouble.
I think that Concubine Shu provoked the Queen Mother because of some small things, so the Queen Mother didn't like Concubine Shu's temperament, and then made the Queen Mother hold such a grudge, but just because she didn't like her temperament, she was not allowed to get pregnant, wouldn't the emperor be against the Queen Mother if she spoiled her so much.
"The emperor naturally listened to the queen mother, and the emperor became fond of Concubine Shu in order to make up for Concubine Shu, but what he didn't expect was that Concubine Shu became more arrogant because she was favored by the emperor." As I listened to Aunt Cangyun continue to talk about this matter, I felt that there was indeed some truth.
Concubine Shu is not the kind of person who likes people, although she is not so likable, but at least she still has some brains, can't she really see that the Queen Mother doesn't like her, even if she really can't see it, then she hasn't thought about the reason why she hasn't been pregnant?
The emperor has always listened to the Queen Mother's words, and this matter is known to all of us, so it is understandable that the Emperor listened to the Queen Mother's words and did not let Concubine Shu get pregnant, and the reason why Concubine Shu was able to make the Queen Mother more and more angry must be because the emperor felt a little guilty about not letting Concubine Shu get pregnant, so he doted on her more, but what she didn't expect was that she covered the emperor to pamper herself. So she became more arrogant, and the queen mother became more disgusted with her by causing trouble everywhere, which is really counterproductive, Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu, this incident really surprised me enough.
Speaking of which, this concubine is stupid enough, she actually offended the queen mother and the queen in one go, it is estimated that in the future in this harem, the most difficult to mix is her, and she came to me a few days ago, and when she wanted me to conceive a dragon heir, she may also want to make herself stand firm.
But what she didn't expect was that she had found the wrong person at all, and in this matter, if she put it on some simple concubine who could no longer be simple, she might thank her everywhere, but I was different, I was not interested at all, so it was no wonder that she would be dusty when she came to me.
After Aunt Cangyun told me about Concubine Shu, I felt a little incredible, I always felt that this matter was not as simple as Aunt Cangyun said, and this matter had been pestering me as if there were other things.
I can't help but feel a little irritable, I have to say that what has happened in the past few days is really a little difficult for me to accept, Concubine Shu's matter may not be as simple as Aunt Cangyun said, there must be something in the middle that none of us know.
What's more, Aunt Cangyun also said that she didn't know very well about this matter, it was just some gossip from the palace, but after Aunt Cangyun told me about this matter, it made me even more confused about this matter.
As I thought, this matter is definitely not very simple, it is impossible to just think that Concubine Shu is arrogant, so she doesn't like it, so the emperor does not allow Concubine Shu to get pregnant, and because of this, Concubine Shu has received the emperor's favor again, and Concubine Shu has become more arrogant, which leads to the backfire.
I think that the palace is definitely hiding this matter, otherwise it would never be just such a simple rumor, I still feel that this matter is not quite right, so I want to investigate it.
But with my current status, it is basically impossible to investigate this matter of Concubine Shu, and if I want to know the ins and outs of this matter, I can only do so through the investigation, but in this case, I can't ask the emperor, so I can only ask Prince Guo.
But how to contact Prince Guo, this matter made me a little hesitant, after thinking about it for a while, I felt that the only person suitable to do this matter might be Aunt Cangyun, and I could only ask Aunt Cangyun to help me handle this matter.
"Aunt Cangyun, I may want to ask you to help me ask Prince Guo and ask her to investigate this matter." Aunt Cangyun nodded after hearing my request, presumably Aunt Cangyun also understood what I meant.
I saw that Aunt Cangyun seemed to understand what I meant, so I nodded, I went out to look around, and after making sure that there was indeed no one around, I let Aunt Cangyun leave here.
I have always felt that there is something wrong with the matter of Concubine Shu, although I think there is some truth in Aunt Cangyun's words about the emperor and the queen mother, but some truths are some truths after all, and they are not the facts of this matter, after all, these are just rumors in the palace that Aunt Cangyun told me.
But the reason why these rumors are rumors may also be her statement, the people in the palace naturally can't be out of nowhere, presumably there must be some introduction to this matter, which will provoke the people in the palace to talk about this matter, but after listening to Aunt Cangyun's words, I also feel a little incredible.
It seems that this harem is still full of dangers, I still have to be careful in the future, I can't do anything big, I'm afraid I can't say anything wronged when the time comes, hey, after thinking about this matter, I thought about the matter of Concubine Shu.
The reason why I think this matter is not so simple is because of Concubine Shu's arrogant appearance, and Concubine Shu's appearance does not look like she provoked the Queen Mother at all, so I don't think it's all simple.
"Autumn water, the tea is cold." I specially found a reason to summon Qiushui, thinking of asking Qiushui something.
Qiushui hurried in when I heard me call her, I took advantage of Qiushui to come in and asked her some things I wanted to know, and after taking me to ask, she also retreated, I thought that I would have a good rest while both of them were gone, but at this moment there was a knock on the door again.
I couldn't help frowning, who could be looking for her at this time, it was really bad to be called up just now that I was about to rest, I opened the door with a very irritated mood, but I saw a little eunuch outside the door.
When I saw a little eunuch, I felt a little confused, at first, I thought that Qiushui or Bailu came to me, I thought that the two of them had something new to share with me, so they opened the door so happily, but what I didn't expect was that there was an inconspicuous little eunuch in front of me.
I didn't know this little eunuch either, so I glanced at him, and when I saw him holding a plate of pastries in his hand, I was a little dazed, I didn't seem to have done anything too big, there was too much movement, who would come to me for some reason to bring me a plate of pastries.
"Who asked you to bring me the pastry?" I said to the unfamiliar little eunuch in front of me, after all, I didn't dare to taste the pastry he was holding in his hand, and I couldn't accept it if it was sent by someone I didn't know.
I don't know who sent this pastry to me, I thought about asking the eunuch, but the eunuch just nodded, and this did make me have some doubts, it can't be said that this eunuch is a mute, besides, this palace can't accept a mute as a eunuch.
But I looked at the eunuch in front of me and didn't say a word, just put down the pastry and kept my head down, I was also a little irritable, and after taking the pastry, I let the eunuch leave, and I returned to the house with the pastry.
When I just put the pastry on the table, what I didn't expect was that there was a note pressed at the bottom of the pastry, which is what made me have some doubts, the eunuch didn't say a word, is it difficult to achieve because there is a note pressed under the pastry? But if there's a note pressed under the pastry, then he just told me no, why should I find out for myself? Was he afraid of being known?
I took out the note, and now I was full of interest in who sent this high point, so I opened the note, thinking about who sent this pastry, but what I didn't expect was that this pastry was actually sent by the Seventh Prince.
The note said that this pastry was the latest pastry, and he wanted me to taste the taste of this fresh pastry, and then I frowned, looking at the pastry in front of me and the note in my hand, and became a little melancholy.
You said that if I simply wanted to taste the taste of a new pastry, then I would not refuse, but why do I always feel that this matter is not so simple, I always feel that this pastry has other meanings.
The main thing in my mind now is still thinking about Concubine Shu, and I still don't understand some things, which is why I'm a little irritable today.
