Chapter 175: It's Not Easy
As an emperor, while being calculated by others, he naturally also calculates others, and Zhao Guiji entered the palace because of Mrs. Jiang's words.
At that time, she had just married into the Jiang family, and she was eager to please her sister-in-law, so she made a great effort to the draft, and easily settled the matter, but she abolished a concubine and curryed favor with the whole family, such a good thing, why not?
But Mrs. Jiang is really not angry, and she has only had one daughter for many years, so when Xiao Qi mentioned that she needed someone to compete with the Middle Palace in the future, didn't Mrs. Jiang's only daughter come in handy?
On the day Jiang Guifei left home, it was said that Mrs. Jiang was about to cry and blind her eyes, but no matter how majestic the tears were like rain, Xiao Qi was not necessarily moved by compassion, after all, the tears left by Zhao Guiji had already drawn a shallow mark in Xiao Qi's heart, and the years had passed, and they still did not dissipate.
The warm candle flame burned nearly one-third of the candle body, at this moment, it was almost an hour since Xiao Qi arrived at Yaohua Palace, in this hour, Xiao Qi intermittently said, telling all the past events that Shen Qingjiao did not know, he hugged Shen Qingjiao, as if he wanted to explain to her everything that Shen Qingjiao did not know very well.
It wasn't until Shen Qingjiao was in a daze and yawned that Xiao Qi stopped and said, "I didn't even take care of your body when I was talking, is it not good for me, I went to put out the candle, and rested?" ”
Xiao Qi said that he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, Shen Qingjiao blurted out: "Wait." ”
Xiao Qi paused and wondered, "What?" ”
will talk about these past events, all because of Jiang Guifei's proposal, then this matter, Shen Qingjiao has not received an accurate answer today, she will not sleep, she eased her expression, and said in a low voice: "What Jiang Guifei said, the saint has not yet said clearly." ” 𝙈.𝕍𝙤🅳𝙏𝙬.𝓒𝙤🄼
"What do you think?" Xiao Qi's eyes softened, and he spoke as if he was guiding: "What do you think of Jiang Guifei's proposal?" Let's talk about it, you have to analyze all of this yourself. ”
The dispute between the concubines has nothing to do with their own interests, what Jiang Guifei did, Shen Qingjiao can also guess a thing or two.
"The concubine is still just pregnant, so she was promoted to the concubine, not to mention whether it is in line with the rules or not, that is, the concubine herself feels that it is too sudden, and the low-ranking concubines can jump two levels, but when it comes to starting from the third grade, it has become difficult for all the palace concubines to be promoted, and some of the first emperor's concubines have only reached the third grade in their lives, so can the concubines break the rules just by virtue of their pregnancy? The concubine position, for the concubines at this moment, is not a glory, but a talisman. ”
Jiang Guifei doesn't like the queen to be pregnant, can she be happy if Shen Qingjiao is pregnant? She just felt that since Xiao Qi made a move and asked Su Wen to take care of Shen Qingjiao's pregnancy, the people in the harem also got a message, this is the dragon fetus that the saint wants to protect, and she can't easily move her mind.
However, even if Concubine Jiang thought about the child in her womb, she didn't delay her desire to disgust Shen Qingjiao's thoughts.
Only when Shen Qingjiao is becoming more and more desperate can he know that Jiang Guifei is a person who can be relied on.
"You're right." Xiao Qi smiled faintly in his eyes, and took over the words: "Concubine Jiang is actually still testing my affection for you, the palace concubine is pregnant, and it is understandable to be promoted, but it is because of the child or because of you to become a concubine!"
This is indeed something that Shen Qingjiao never thought, she remembered that Jiang Guifei had been kind to Xiao Qi, maybe after many years of grace, she had to take precautions against the women around Xiao Qi, in the end, Jiang Guifei would no longer have a parent, and grace became the only capital she could be proud of.
"Therefore, the concubine position is not easy to get."
Shen Qingjiao said the last sentence firmly, her eyes shone brightly, and Xiao Qi was full of smiles: "Yes, so Jiang Guifei's words, I only said that I would consider it, but I didn't agree, and when I asked for peace in Fengluan Palace tomorrow, everything will be known." ”
Whether it is a human or a ghost, it is up to Shen Qingjiao to distinguish by himself, Xiao Qi is certainly right, he also believes that with Shen Qingjiao's previous methods of disciplining the palace maids, she will deal with these deceptions.
As the night deepened, the starless black curtain soon enveloped the entire imperial city, and the bustling lights were extinguished one by one.
Xiao Qi left Yaohua Palace first, and did not wake up Shen Qingjiao, who was asleep, but just rubbed her slightly bulging abdomen lovingly, and left satisfied. ”
"The minion remembers." Chen Fu bowed down to answer, and soon, the emperor's sedan chair hurriedly left Yaohua Palace.
When Shen Qingjiao woke up, there was only half an hour left to leave Fengluan Palace, but fortunately, he did things neatly in the honeysuckle, and as soon as Shen Qingjiao opened his eyes, he had already prepared the toiletries and palace clothes.
It's just that when she was waiting for Shen Qingjiao to dress, she said worriedly: "It's only been a few days, and the slave maid is unexpected."
