When I arrived at Shuiyun Palace, I still had the same impression as I had in my impression.

It's just that the palace gate is wide open, and the grandmother waiting outside the door has changed.

"Waiting for my mother."

Ye Congwei nodded: "Let's go in." ”

Not only the old lady, Ye Congwei walked all the way in, but he didn't see half of the familiar palace maids and eunuchs.

Her heart was slightly cold, the people who served before, I don't know whether they were under the orders of the concubine or the first emperor, they must know many secrets.

Now that they are gone, aren't they all executed?

…… Whose hand will it be? If it is the concubine herself, it is not difficult to understand, but it is also possible for Qi Su.

Ye Congwei guessed this, but his face did not show it at all, and he entered the main hall.

The concubine was already waiting there, squatting by the incense burner, smelling the fragrance.

Ye Congwei stepped forward to salute, which seemed to alarm her, and quickly stood up, "You are here." ”

The concubine looked her clothes and embroidery up and down, and asked, "Has Changge given you a title?" ”

"Not yet." Ye Congwei replied.

The concubine walked over slowly, took her hand, and smiled: "You have a child, and you are the princess who is marrying Ming Media, and your status must not be low." ”

Ye Congwei didn't mention that Qi Su wanted to make her the queen, and lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

"He's cold-hearted, look at you and you're an obedient person, otherwise how can he get into his eyes."

How can a mother say such about her son? Ye Congwei couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her.

The concubine said to herself: "In the future, you can bring more children to see me." ”

"Yes." Ye Congwei only responded verbally, and said the specific situation at the specific moment.

The concubine took her to sit down at the coffee table, and the clever little girl next to her brought the freshly brewed hot tea.

Although it was already spring, the climate was still quite cold, so Si Lan went to get a hand warmer and hugged Ye Congwei.

If the concubine didn't speak, Ye Congwei didn't take the initiative to provoke the conversation.

It's really that she has a stupid mouth, and she has never been a pleasant and sweet lively person in the face of her elders.

Fortunately, the concubine herself is also a person with an indifferent personality, and before Ye Congwei became pregnant, she was almost stingy with any words.

********

Sit in silence for a moment, and a delicate tea set is placed on the table.

The concubine spoke: "A woman is attached to a man in this life, and when you are a girl, you will see what your father's identity is, and after you get married, you will see who your husband is." ”

"He is higher than you, he is lower than the dust, and you are lower than the dust."

……

"The concubine said this very much." Ye Congwei was curious about what she wanted to express.

The concubine turned her head to look at her and said, "When you enter this palace gate, you should forget everything outside and follow the rules inside, can you do it?" ”

Ye Congwei was slightly stunned, not particularly sure: "The concubine naturally has to abide by the rules......"

"The rules of the harem are that you can't be petted."

“！” He was waiting for her here.

Ye Congwei pursed his lips and was silent.

The concubine's eyes looked at the sunlight outside and said, "I don't mean to interfere with you when I say this, it's just a reminder." ”

Ye Congwei sat upright: "I wish to hear the teachings of the concubine." ”

"I don't know much about Changge's side, but I heard that you are the only one close at the moment," she picked up the teacup, "This is not a good thing, you will become the target of public criticism in the future, and the higher you stand, the more painful it will be." ”

Ye Congwei felt that her first half sentence was quite contradictory, does the matter of the concubine Qisu also need to be hearsay?

At present, Ye Congwei is a concubine in the palace, even if she is not titled, she is regarded as a serious master, and she does not dare to slack off.

I don't know how much it hurts to fall?

Ye Congwei was puzzled by this, and simply asked truthfully.

The concubine lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of tea, and smiled: "The courtiers and the emperor have never been completely subservient, they will catch Chang Ge at the slightest mistake and use it as a bargaining chip." ”

Speaking of which, it made Ye Congwei even more difficult to refute.

She has never read any powerful and profound books, and she has only learned to read and write in the Hou Mansion, but in the script, she has seen a lot of stories about foxes, charms, and bewitching the master.

At that time, she once sighed that a woman's life was hard and she couldn't keep her love, and she was also curious about whether she really had malicious intentions to charm the king.

Now that I think about it in combination with my own situation, I vaguely understand something.

There is no shortage of black and white things in this world, it doesn't matter whether a woman is charming or not, as long as the world thinks you are guilty, you can't argue.

Of course, at the moment she is far from such a scene, but just a precautionary reminder.

"Did this scare you?" The concubine asked.

Ye Congwei shook his head: "The concubine feels that she has no ability to ask Your Majesty to favor me." ”

How can she?

Qi Su only revealed to her that she wanted to take a concubine, and in this harem, it will soon be lively.

From the moment he was reborn, he knew his imperial destiny, how could he have the luxury of exclusivity?

The concubine seemed to be dissatisfied with her reaction, and said, "There will inevitably be times in the palace when you can't help yourself, so you go back and think about it." ”

“…… Be. ”

Ye Congwei bowed his head and left.

Not long after coming out of Shuiyun Palace, Si Mei muttered: "What is the purpose of the concubine?" ”

"The slave didn't see it," Si Lan took Ye Congwei's hand: "It's not like Liwei......"

Ye Congwei sighed slightly: "She doesn't know, how can we know." ”

"If you don't say it, don't say it, anyway, Niangniang is living with Your Majesty." Si Mei smiled: "Let's take care of ourselves." ”

Of course, Ye Congwei would not be unhappy because of the concubine's words.

She is different from others, she has had a short past life, and it is easier to be content when she dies once.

Now that Qi Su treats her with affection, this is an unexpected joy, why bother to explore the depth of this love?

There is also a joy, that is, the child in the womb, which is more important than anything else.

Ye Congwei is a mother for the first time, although the child has not yet come to the world, she already has the mood and consciousness of being a mother.

There is a son, and then there is something to ask for, and at the same time there is no fear.

It's amazing.

********

Time flickered into February, and in the middle of the month, Qi Su ordered to go down and embroider a phoenix robe for Ye Congwei.

He intended to draw up a holy decree and seal the leaves from the back.

This move was quickly stopped by the ministers, saying that the concubine had not yet risen to the throne, and the order of precedence could not be surpassed.

Otherwise, if it spreads, it will be suspected of treating the biological mother harshly, and at worst, it will be unfilial.

He also said that the harem was empty, and the Ye family was alone, even if she ascended to the back position, there was no one to give her command.

Openly and secretly, there is no less intention to urge His Majesty to fill in the beauty as soon as possible.

After listening to the dissuasion of those cadres, Qi Su was silent, did not argue anything, and temporarily put the matter back.

He didn't follow up on a topic, and he was so good that the group of courtiers wondered.

This new emperor, there are nine twists and eighteen bends in his stomach, which makes people unable to figure out their true intentions.

Do you want to be the queen?

Ye Congwei didn't ask much when she knew, the position of the queen belonged to her, just worry about raising the fetus.

She is not in a hurry, but the little maids around her are very anxious.

"If Your Majesty is drafted first and then established, will anything happen in the middle?" Si Ju asked in a low voice.

"Those who can enter the palace and accompany the monarch must be famous and noble...... Si Mei shook her head: "But where are they comparable to Niangniang." ”

Ye Congwei's belly is already pregnant, it has only been three months, and the arc of the bulge is quite obvious, it must be a big fat boy!

It has always been safe to have a son in everyone's backyard, and the harem is even more so, she is not prominent enough to lose in her mother's family, but with His Majesty's heart, what are these worth?

Si Ju was not at ease: "In my opinion, I still advise Niangniang to hurry up, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

His own prince suddenly became the emperor, and he knew that the foundation was unstable, and many things in the court needed to rely on the ministers.

Throughout the ages, the emperor's method of entrapping his courtiers is nothing more than the consolidation of in-laws, and it is only a matter of time before His Majesty accepts a concubine.

Si Ju was worried, when a noble girl with an unattainable status came and took away the back position halfway, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Facing her worries and bitter words, Ye Congwei couldn't help but want to laugh.

"If there is really such a person who can make His Majesty go against his will, then I will not be stable as a queen, and it will be easy to get down."

"How can Niangniang increase the prestige of others......" Si Mei disagreed.

"This is a fact," Ye Congwei stroked his stomach with one hand: "If one day Your Majesty has a request and wants to give up caring for me, it is useless to give me no amount of life-saving gold medals now." ”

There was really a day when Qi Su herself was limited by the situation and had to bow to her courtiers, how could she guarantee her treatment?

It is not uncommon for such an emperor to be aggrieved, and a monarch who can play at will depends on how many hole cards he holds.

Ye Congwei didn't know how confident Qi Su was in the face of the ministers, but she guessed that he wouldn't compromise so easily.

Otherwise, what is the burden of enduring humiliation for so many years?

He kept his head in obscurity, and painstakingly planned to kill his imperial brother, in order to raise his eyebrows, if he became an emperor and was crushed by his courtiers, everything would lose its meaning.

Ye Congwei turned to look at his maids and explained: "You are not allowed to discuss this matter too much in private, just like in the palace at the beginning, no matter how many beauties there are in Qiancui Garden, your majesty has his own ideas." ”

Si Ju and Si Mei glanced at each other and bowed their heads obediently: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

The two of them are more straightforward and fast-talking, and often muttered about this, but Silan Sizhu is much more stable and easily does not open his mouth to figure it out.

"They are thinking about it, and the most important thing now is to take care of the little prince." Si Zhu covered his mouth and smiled.

"Yes, yes, the slave maid just took a small coat pattern from the clothes shop, the mother can take a look first, which one she likes."

Ye Congwei nodded: "Look at both men and women, it may not be the little prince." ”

"It must be the little prince, there is a sign!" Silan smiled.

Ye Congwei lowered her head and glanced at her slightly bulging belly, the doctor said that her three months were slightly older than other women, so she was not less worried.

I don't know whether it's a man or a woman, I'm afraid that I don't know how to control my daily supplements, and I will raise my children too big and not give birth.

Taking advantage of the warmer climate, Ye Congwei had to walk around for half a day before he was willing to go back to rest, not only that, but he also pinched the hour to take a nap in the afternoon, and he couldn't sleep too much.

She was so restrained, and often asked the doctor and the experienced grandmother, which made Silan and the others embarrassed, and felt that they should be more attentive.

In order to be thoughtful, Si Lan took the time to read some medical books for women and children, she was not very literate, and she stumbled and read a book, and she gained something.

Ye Congwei no longer had any symptoms of joy, and Si Lan pinched her hands and feet from time to time to prevent her from having a sore back and swollen legs when she was older in the coming days.
