It was warm in Hanzhang Palace.
It was the first time to greet the Queen Mother, and the concubines did not dare to look down upon it, so they came much earlier than the appointed time.
The Queen Mother was still changing, so they could only sit and wait.
Some were waiting boredly, turning their eyes to look at the furnishings in the palace; some were looking at their noses and hearts, sitting in an orderly manner; some simply drank a few sips of tea and simply left together. People nearby spoke in low voices.
Someone glanced at an empty seat in front and lowered his voice.
"I heard that Concubine Shu suffered from severe nausea and vomiting after she became pregnant. Recently, it has become even more serious than before. It is said that she can't eat anything. She only lives on some soup and water every day, which is worrying the Imperial Medical Office. "
Jiang Xuanhui put down the tea cup and wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief: "It was not like this when I was pregnant with Jianchang. I think Concubine Shu is pregnant with a prince. ."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the woman sitting in the front.
"When Chongde was pregnant with the second prince, was he as unhappy as Concubine Shu?"
Her voice was low, her brows furrowed, and there was a hint of curiosity in her tone.
The eyes of the concubines naturally fell on Hu Chongde's face.
Not waiting for Hu Chongde to answer, someone couldn't help laughing and joking: "You also know that you are pregnant with a prince for the Lord?"
The speaker was You Zhaoxun.
Jiang Xuanhui's face changed color and he smiled coldly: "I really want to have such a blessing, but God doesn't care about me. Unlike You Zhaoxun who is loved by the Lord, I must have such a blessing."
When Mrs. Jiang was pregnant with Princess Jianchang, everyone knew that she was pregnant with a boy. When King Changguang was happy, he promoted her status.
Before giving birth, Mrs. Jiang transformed from a humble first-in-law to a serious concubine.
Who would have thought that the boy fetus that had been rumored for several months would actually turn into a girl fetus.
As a result, not only did she lose her promised position as a concubine, but she was also suspicious of King Changguang, who thought that Jiang was playing tricks to deceive her, so she lost her favor.
King Changguang was in no mood, and he didn’t even bother to change the name he had chosen in advance: Gao Shanjian.
This incident has always been a thorn in Jiang's heart.
Now that You Zhaoxun was making fun of him in public, Jiang Xuanhui was angry and resentful, but he couldn't change his face and get angry, so he could only go back to the past in a calm manner.
You Zhaoxun entered the palace late, and her brother was very popular in front of King Guangping. She herself was beautiful and received a lot of favors. Now she has a higher status than the Jiang family, so she naturally cannot make the same mistake. People who have lost favor care about it and just smile.
"With Xuan Hui's auspicious words, I hope I can get what I want. Looking back, I entered the government at this time last year, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed," she He raised his eyebrows and pointed to his belly again, with a calm face and no concealment: "It's a pity that there has been no movement here for a long time."
Suddenly, the conversation changed, and he looked at everyone from head to head again. Wei Zhaoyi sits quietly in a corner.
“But when it comes to this grace, none of us can compare to Sister Wei.”
Wei Zhaoyi's cheeks turned red when Leng Buding was pointed out. She lowered her head shyly and pursed her lips: "Zhaoxun must never say such ignorant words again in the future."
You Zhaoxun raised his lips and smiled: "I don't know the truth. I'm obviously telling the truth! However, I always thought that Sister Wei would move into the Hanguang Palace, but instead I went to the Liangfeng Palace."
Her tone was filled with regret. .
Who doesn’t know what Hanguang Palace represents?
The red cloud on Wei Zhaoyi's face dissipated, and she was a little uncertain: "Is this Hanguang Palace reserved by the Lord to Concubine Shu?"
Everyone glanced at the empty seat.
Wei Zhaoyi said again: "Whether it is Hanguang Palace or Liangfeng Palace, they are both gifts from the Lord, and they are all equally good."
"Shu Fei?" You Zhaoxun Disagree: "Didn't the Lord say that Concubine Shu is pregnant and has physical inconvenience, so she will continue to live in Yaohua Hall."
Wei Zhaoyi coughed lightly, gave her a wink, and said: "How can the Sacred Heart be free? Guess, we just need to concentrate on serving the Lord."
You Zhaoxun understood and nodded: "What Sister Wei said is that no matter how good the palace next to it is, it can't be as good as Zhaoyang Palace. ”
"Zhaoyang Palace?" Jiang Xuanhui snorted and disagreed: "Zhaoyang Palace is only distinguished by its title."
She looked in front of the screen to make sure there was no one, then continued: "Don't you guys? I heard from the old man in the palace that the real honor is not in Zhaoyang Palace, but in Hanguang Palace. You know, the people who live there are the ones the emperor cares about!"
This! The words are true.
Just look at how Emperor Wenxuan treated the Queen Mother!
Wei Zhaoyi smiled reluctantly, but her heart felt like a knot.
Not only in the palace, but also outside the palace, who has not heard those words as long as they have ears?
The Zhaoyang Palace only has respect, but no honor. And Hanguang Palace is the real honor and favor.
Inexplicably, the people who were talking in low voices lowered their eyes, thinking silently, and no one said anything for a while.
The palace became quiet again, only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Yuan Yun'e arrived a little late, but she was a little surprised to see all the concubines sitting in an orderly manner.
In the past, in the palace, whenever they got together, they would have to chew their tongues for a while.
Most of the conflicts between the female family members of the house are born out of these few words.
The canonization was completed yesterday, but today I am afraid that some people will be resentful and cause trouble.
Wouldn’t it be ugly if there really was a quarrel in Hanzhang Hall?
Seeing the belated queen, everyone stood up and saluted.
Yuan Yun'e raised her hand to avoid the ceremony. When she saw that there was no movement inside, she also sat down and waited.
When Liang Huan came out of the inner hall, he looked at the beautiful scene of flowers. He was stunned for a moment, and he actually had an illusion for a moment.
This palace full of beauties is really like before.
It’s just that the beauty today no longer belongs to the group of women in the past.
Liang Huan took the throne.
Yuan Yun'e was about to lead the concubines to salute, but she didn't want to see the person above her clearly. The words of greeting she was about to blurt out were stuck in her throat, and the smile on her face froze.
The concubines noticed something strange and couldn't help but look at the queen and then the queen mother.
Some were confused, and some expressions changed and they just lowered their heads, pretending not to know.
Achan quietly tugged on Yuanyun'e's sleeve.
Yuan Yun'e immediately came back to her senses and met her gaze, her expression as usual.
"I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
All the concubines behind him followed suit.
Liang Huan spared everyone’s courtesy.
After Yuan Yun'e sat down, she explained: "Concubine Shu has severe morning sickness, so the Lord specially exempted her from coming to say hello."
Liang Huan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, she is pregnant, and these days will definitely be harder."
She then said to Gu Ya beside her: "Go and look for it in my box later. There is a jade basket filled with wandering flowers, which I sent to Concubine Shu. It can relieve morning sickness."
Gu Ya responded.
Liang Huan also ordered Jin Zhi and others to present the prepared pastries and fruits.
After a while, there was laughter again in the hall.
Liang Huan raised her eyebrows and listened to Yingying Yanyan talking and laughing.
In fact, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere was obviously not right for a moment, but before she could find out the reason, it seemed to return to normal.
Liang Huan thought it was just too much worry. When she thought about the future, the concubines would come to say hello every day, and she couldn't help but sigh.
After sitting for about a cup of tea, a chamberlain came in and said that the emperor was here.
The concubines stood up to greet them.
Liang Huan rubbed his eyebrows.
Amidst the greetings, Gao Hao stepped forward.
"Why is the emperor here?" Liang Huan had a smile on his face, but not much.
Gao Hao clasped his hands behind his back and wanted to speak, but his eyes were fixed and he stared at her for a long time, but stopped talking. (End of this chapter)
