Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Concubine Li could only say helplessly: "The concubine just heard that Li Cai gave birth to a child and was taken by the queen to raise it herself, but it is still a question whether the child can survive or not, why should you care." ”

Concubine Li's words not only did not reassure Cheng Chuxue, but made her even more uncomfortable and anxious.

She didn't expect that this child would still be a prince! So what to do yourself?

But after thinking about it, she felt that there were too many doubts about this matter, after all, if this thing was true, then the queen would definitely keep it secret, why did it happen so coincidentally, but it was circulated again? Did it happen to flow into my ears?

The queen didn't want her to be so incompetent on the surface, and it was impossible for her to make such a low-level mistake.

"Who are you listening to? Why do you know so much about the Queen's Palace? ”

She looked at Concubine Li with an inquiring and suspicious expression.

"Niangniang Mingjian, this matter is really overheard by the concubine." didn't expect her to doubt herself, Concubine Li immediately explained with a look of grievance, "You also know that a person like a concubine is not favored by His Majesty, and all she wants is to live in peace, so if your ears and eyes are not sensitive, how can you live in this place." ”

Concubine Li is also an old man in the palace, and it is not surprising to have one or two ears and eyes, but I didn't expect this woman to be able to catch up with the people in the queen's palace, so it can be seen that she is not a safe person.

Cheng Chuxue reminded herself in her heart that she must be careful of this person, but she said with a kind look on her face: "I see, but this palace has misunderstood you." ”

"As long as the mother believes in the loyalty of the concubine, the concubine will be satisfied." Concubine Li hurriedly flattered her and said that she didn't mind, and then she was curious, "But how did the mother know about this matter?" ”

"This palace also heard Yun'er say by chance."

"How is this possible, how can Yun'er know about this kind of thing." Concubine Li was surprised, and explained: "The concubine heard that the queen mother's baby is a very good child, but it is hidden very deeply, and even few people who usually serve around her know it. ”

I didn't expect her to go with herself, Cheng Chuxue sighed, and suddenly heard Concubine Li's sudden realization.

She exclaimed, "Niangniang, the queen mother, this is deliberate." ”

"Deliberately?"

Cheng Chuxue was puzzled, shouldn't the queen hide this kind of thing from herself? How can you deliberately let yourself know?

"Niangniang, you think, if you happen to hear this news, you will definitely have trouble sleeping, right?"

Cheng Chuxue couldn't help but nodded, and Concubine Li continued, "You are about to give birth now, if you are out of proportion because of this matter, if there is any accident at that time, won't she be the one who will benefit in the end?" ”

Everyone knows that a woman giving birth to a child is tantamount to walking through the ghost gate, if Cheng Chuxue really has fetal gas because of this incident, it is very likely that the fetus will be in an improper position and have a difficult labor and hemorrhage......

Thinking like this, Cheng Chuxue broke out in a cold sweat.

This is really a vicious and very useful ploy, fortunately I wasn't too angry just now, otherwise I would really fall for the queen's way.

"Niangniang, so you only have to raise the fetus well now, and everything will be said after you give birth." Concubine Li hurriedly persuaded.

Cheng Chuxue didn't say anything, and after saying a few random words to send Concubine Li away, she began to sit in a daze.

Of course, she knows that her top priority now is to take care of the baby, but it is not her style to let her sit back and wait for her to die.

If she really did nothing, if she let the queen take the lead and take away the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, then the two of them would be too passive.

It seems that I must be like a solution.

But before she could think of any good way, the queen sent the palace maid on the second day, and called all the concubines who could be ranked in front of the emperor, and even Cheng Chuxue was notified here.

However, he didn't say what to do, only that if Cheng Chuxue was physically able, he could also go over and sit down.

Cheng Chuxue dared to relax her vigilance, so she didn't think about it, she immediately took Yun'er over.

When I arrived, there were already a lot of concubines sitting inside, and Zhu Dieyi was sitting next to the queen, and the two were talking and laughing, very intimate.

These two sluts!

Seeing this scene, Cheng Chuxue secretly cursed in her heart, and walked up with a smile like a flower.

"What is the queen talking to Concubine Die, laughing so happily, I don't know if the concubine can listen to it."

"My sister is here?" The queen greeted her cordially, as if the pleasure of the last time did not exist at all.

"Concubine Niangniang." Zhu Dieyi also got up and saluted with a group of concubines.

"Sisters, please take a seat."

After Cheng Chuxue saluted everyone, she sat down at the queen's head.

The queen smiled and said: "This palace is just talking to Concubine Die about some interesting things about children, if my sister is interested, I might as well come and listen to it when I have time in the future." ”

Hearing this, if it is ordinary, I am afraid that Cheng Chuxue will definitely laugh at the queen, what kind of child's interesting story can she know without children?

But now she smelled something unusual in the queen's words.

She raised her head, looked at the queen deeply, and said with a smile: "Okay, so don't worry about the concubines in the future." ”

"Why, my sister is willing to come, but this palace can't ask for it."

The two of them laughed and hid their knives, and the women also understood that the two of them must be at odds with each other, but they were very interested in not interjecting, after all, no matter which of these two people they could not offend.

Therefore, for a while, there was only the voice of the queen and Cheng Chuxue in the palace.

The two talked for a while, but they also felt tired, and they each died down.

After a while, the queen saw that everyone had come.

Only then did she speak: "I asked a few sisters to come today, because I want to discuss something with my sisters." ”

"Mother, please speak."

"That's the case, seeing that it's coming to the end of the year, there will be a lot of things in the palace at that time, which are usually handled by the palace, but this year the palace is really a little powerless, so I discussed it with Your Majesty, and planned to divide some palace affairs to my sisters, and asked my sisters to work hard."

The queen's words surprised all the women, and Qi Qi looked at the queen in disbelief.

Is she going to delegate power?

According to convention, everything in the harem is taken care of by the queen, although it is tiring, but it also represents her supremacy.

In the past, the queen held on tightly to this right and did not let go, for fear of being divided by others, but now she will take the initiative to divide it.

Everyone was surprised and delighted, because they all understood that if they did things well and won the favor of the emperor and queen mother, then they would have a bright future.

As soon as they thought of this, they suddenly became excited.

"Rest assured, the concubines and others will definitely live up to the trust of the mother."

"Yes, the concubines and others are on the orders of the mother."

The women immediately professed their abilities and loyalty.

Hearing this, the queen laughed, "In that case, then the palace will thank you sisters." ”

"To do things for the mother, concubines and concubines should be."

Everyone said in unison.

The queen praised everyone with great satisfaction, and was about to start the distribution, when suddenly a personal palace maid beside the queen ran out, and she didn't know what to say in the queen's ear.
