Chapter 16: Jealousy
"Che'er is worthy of being my most powerful prince, and can always remember my words. I am comforted. The emperor showed an approving look in his eyes, patted Xuanyuan Che's shoulder and said very kindly.
Concubine De observed Duo Meizi in private, and felt more and more hairy in her heart, she was so different from her aunt, she was too good at hiding.
Originally, I was going to look for a little mistake in looking for Duo Mei today, but she behaved very well, flawlessly, and there were no mistakes to follow.
"It's getting dark, there are a lot of ladies in the harem, and the mother of the son-in-law has passed away, so it is not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time, so I retired first." Xuanyuan Che said without any scruples.
"Since this is the case, then Concubine Shen and Princess Duo will stay and talk to the palace." Concubine De smiled.
"Mother Xie De, Jie'er will stay with Mother De, Duo'er is pregnant, it is not appropriate to bother here, go back to the house with the ministers." Xuanyuan Che looked at Duo Meizi and said to the emperor.
The emperor did not stay, but his face was solemn: "Then you go back, be careful on the road, Duo'er is pregnant with the first grandson of our Xuanyuan family, and her body is golden, and when she gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, I will definitely give Che'er and you supreme honor." ”
This sentence is far-reaching, is it the position of the crown prince, but it is so obvious, what is the intention, is it really because he feels sorry for the emperor's eldest grandson.
When she said this, Concubine Shen's heart was cold, did she want to give the position of the crown princess and the future queen to Sister Duo, and at that moment, her hands were clasped tightly, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
In the dead of night, only the sound of horse-drawn carriages and the wheezing of passers-by remained in the vast capital.
Xuanyuan Che and Duo Meizi sat in the same carriage.
The two had no common language and could only remain silent.
Concubine Shen came back early the next morning, everything was as usual, she was in a good mood, very calm, and she was more attentive in the morning and dusk, afraid that others would find a little mistake.
Because of the last time she rashly mentioned the matter of his wife, Concubine Shen couldn't help but be a little flustered, afraid that Xuanyuan Che would think of her, until Xuanyuan Che had dinner with her, and Concubine Shen's heart that had been hanging for several days finally let go.
"Concubine Duo went out of the house today to go to Fahua Temple to make incense, and she will come back in a while, let's prepare some things that the princess likes to eat first," Concubine Shen instructed Sunset.
"Does the master really want to hand over the middle feed of the palace to the princess to manage?" Sunset asked Concubine Shen.
Concubine Shen smiled softly: "The last time I came back from the palace, the prince had already ordered, and I had nothing else to do." ”
Since Duo Meizi wants to take charge of the feed, she is unstoppable, she doesn't dare to annoy Xuanyuan Che like last time! Since Duo Meizi is willing to bump into the muzzle of the gun, she Shen Fang Concubine doesn't mind being the gun.
"Master, the slave is really worthy of rushing for you before the concubine did not enter the mansion, you are the head of the palace, what is she, just a gift, and a plaything sent by the relatives turned out to be the princess, suppressing you, and now you are still in power This piece is still sharing with you, and the people in the mansion still praise it, doesn't she know some witchcraft that can cure diseases." Sunset said indignantly.
Concubine Shen smiled silently and looked at the sunset gently, but she was very unwilling in her heart.
"As a concubine, she is not worthy of carrying shoes to the prince, and she can't take on the position of the housewife, and she is even more incompetent for the position of the princess in the future and the future queen. Master, you are the eldest daughter of the general, the niece of Concubine De, and her noble status is the natural princess, if she doesn't come, you can get the position of the concubine. The slave was not reconciled. When Sunset saw Concubine Shen's smile, she became more and more unfair, how could the master be so generous.
Hearing this, Concubine Shen's face was solemn, indeed, no matter her identity, or her dignity, or her appearance, Sister Duo is indeed not as good as her, but she is a blessed person, she can marry the prince without much effort, and she can become a concubine without doing anything, but her noble status as the daughter of a general can only be inferior to Concubine Duo.
However, since entering the mansion, the prince has been very fond of her, and half of the month is spent in the Soft Rain Garden, but since the girl came, everything has changed.
In the past, she was in the palace and she was in her hands, the emperor's praise was led by her, and she occupied the tip of the prince's heart, but now, Duo Meizi is here, she is different from ordinary people's ideas, her smile and smile make the prince worry, and her belly is pregnant.
Thinking of this, Concubine Shen clenched her fists tightly and let her nails sink into her flesh, the feeling of pain reminded her that she was going to lose all this, and soon after, Concubine Duo would be the mother of the world, and Concubine Duo's son would also inherit the throne.....
No, she can't fall out of favor, she must not, why, her belly is so unlucky, in the past two years, she has not taken less tonics, in order to be able to conceive the emperor's eldest grandson before the princess, she did not hesitate to use the means of Concubine De to do things in the inner courtyard of the mansion of other princes, and give the concubines in the palace of King Yu to take infertility drugs, but after a thousand calculations, she miscalculated after all.
For the sake of the two major families of Shen and Lin, she can't be annihilated by the momentum of Duo Meizi like this, and she can't ......
Duo Meizi returned to the palace from Fahua Temple, and Xi Nu got out of the carriage with the help of Lu Mi.
Concubine Shen was already waiting outside the door with a smile, and when she saw Concubine Duo coming, she blessed her body slightly, "The concubine has seen the princess, and the princess is fine." ”
Sister Duo smiled and hugged Concubine Shen: "Sister Lao has been waiting for a long time, everything is fine in Fahua Temple." ”
Concubine Shen's soft smile hung on her face, holding hands with the girl, her posture was noble and beautiful, it was really beautiful and moving, I felt pity.
"The concubine has already prepared dinner, and when the prince comes back, we will eat together." Concubine Shen said with a smile.
Duo Meizi nodded, and when she saw Concubine Shen's deliberate dress, she knew that she had ulterior motives, so she deliberately said, "What, the prince hasn't come back yet?" ”
"Yes, the lord has gone to the court, and it is estimated that he will be home soon." Concubine Shen smiled indifferently.
Duo Meizi said, "It's so good, this concubine is getting more and more tired, and I will ask my sister to serve the prince more in the future." ”
What does this mean, take the initiative to give Xuanyuan Che to himself? Just as Concubine Shen wondered in her heart, wondering if it was a condom under Sister Duo, a luxurious carriage was galloping in the direction of the palace.
Sunset said happily: "It's the prince who came back." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Shen poked her head away, and there was a burst of joy in her heart, and she forgot that she was still holding the hand of the sister, and saw that it was the prince. Hold the girl's hand tightly.
Duo Meizi did smile silently.
Duo Meizi and Concubine Shen looked at each other at the same time. Duo Meizi's eyebrows were slightly upturned, the first time she saw Xuanyuan Che in an official robe, she also really felt the arrogant aura exuded by the ancient aristocratic men, and she didn't have to speak to teach people to be in awe and completely surrender.
Concubine Shen's face is not very good-looking, she has been by Xuanyuan Che's side for nearly three years, almost day and night, but she still can't see through Xuanyuan Che's heart. But now that I see Xuanyuan Che's eyes looking at Duo Meizi, it is so clear, did she really lose? Concubine Shen's heart was tightly tangled, like numbness.
"The concubine (cheap concubine) has seen the prince."
"The slave (slave) visits the prince."
Duo Meizi and Concubine Shen saluted Xuanyuan Che, but those maids and guards saluted.
Xuanyuan Che nodded and motioned for everyone to get up, and then walked in the direction of Duo Meizi and Concubine Shen.
Duo Meizi didn't have any expression and didn't speak, but Concubine Shen stepped forward and said softly: "The prince has worked hard all the way, why did you come back this time, see you sweating profusely." Concubine Shen said as she wiped the sweat of the prince.
"It's okay, Duo'er is fine in Fahua Temple today" Xuanyuan Che didn't care about Concubine Shen who was wiping her sweat, but asked Concubine Duo about the situation, afraid that Duo Mei in Fahua Temple would be wronged today.
"Sister is very good, Jie'er has already instructed the big kitchen to prepare dinner. Just waiting for my sister and the prince to come back and have dinner together. Concubine Shen gently said what she had to say for Sister Duo, and after speaking, she took Xuanyuan Che into the house together.
Duo Meizi didn't complain, and walked behind in obscurity, looking at the two of them and the shadow. When it came to the fork in the road back to Rouyu Garden, Duo Meizi said to the backs of the two: "The concubine is tired and wants to go back to rest, so she has already eaten food in Fahua Temple, go back to rest first."
Seeing that the direction the two of them were going in the direction of the Soft Rain Garden, Duo Meizi stopped and thought slightly. She is the concubine of Yuwangfu, even if she doesn't care about this position, she doesn't feel for Xuanyuan Che, but she doesn't allow others to underestimate her, she just went back to the house, and her male husband was going to eat in the courtyard of the concubine, at that time, what would the snobbery in the palace think of her.
The two of them turned around at the same time to look back at the girl. Xuanyuan Che's eyes moved slightly, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, then a smile again, and finally his face was indifferent.
And Concubine Shen crushed the silver teeth, and the Duo girl really had a lot of plans, which were all wiped out! As long as the prince went to the Soft Rain Garden today, and the Duo sister went to the Soft Rain Garden at the same time, then for her, she is called the side concubine, but invisibly, her status is higher than that of the Duo sister.
But seeing this situation, it didn't go as she had arranged.
She looked at Xuanyuan Che pitifully.
I saw Xuanyuan Che respond to Duo Meizi: "It's okay, you go back and rest more, and you have to take care of yourself even more when you have a body." ”
"Jie'er, instruct the kitchen to bring dinner to the king's study." After Xuanyuan saw that there was no different color on Sister Duo's face, he didn't even look at Concubine Shen and ordered.
Concubine Shen's solemn expression that had just eased was raised again, "Doesn't the prince dine with Jie'er?" ”
"This king still has to review the fold for his father." Xuanyuan Che turned and left, leaving a word.
For the emperor's review of the folds, it seems that King Yu is quite worthy of the emperor's attention! Whether it was for the review or something else is unknown.
Looking at his hurried appearance, it seemed that it was really an urgent twist, but looking at his eyes, Duo Meizi's heart trembled slightly.
Duo Meizi stood silent, but Concubine Shen rolled and put the handkerchief in her hand and put it away, let it go and rolled it up, did you just leave, did she really fall out of favor, Concubine Duo is really on the momentum.
