Qing Chuan Zhi Wants to Be a Concubine

Chapter 24 Concubine Xi
Gyeongin Palace

A court lady carried a tray all the way from the tea room to the West Room, where Concubine Xi used to rest and entertain temporarily.

As the palace people walked into the west room, from a distance, even through the screen, they could hear the sound of humming opera.

Listening to the voice, it seems to be in a good mood.

Passing through the screen, one palace man gently rubbed the slightly protruding belly of Concubine Xi who was half lying on the couch, while the other palace man tapped Concubine Xi's shoulder with a small massage hammer behind her.

The palace man came to Pan'er, the maid of honor who was standing beside her, with a tray, and stopped.

"Master, your hawthorn tea is here." Pan'er picked up the tea cup from the tray and handed it to Concubine Xi with a smile, "Master, drink some to digest."

As he said that, he inadvertently glanced at Concubine Xi's slightly protruding stomach, she must be full, and thought to himself.

Hearing this, Concubine Xi wanted to get up, but the two palace servants who were serving her hurriedly helped her up.

After getting up, Concubine Xi took the teacup, took a sip, and gestured sideways to the palace servants who had just waited on her.

The two palace people knew each other, while the other took a small massage hammer and tapped Concubine Xi's shoulder.

Concubine Xi continued to take a sip, then squinted, holding the teacup in one hand and beating on the desk with the other, continuing to hum the opera just now.

"Master, you seem to be in a good mood!" Pan'er thought to herself not only filling her stomach with food, but now humming with such interest.

Similarly, she also knows very well what hobbies Concubine Xi has when she is in a good mood.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Concubine Xi opened her eyes and said with great interest: "It doesn't seem like it's just that I'm in a very, very good mood!"

"I don't know what made the empress so happy?" Pan'er handed over the words very interestingly, with a proper curiosity on her face.

Sure enough, Concubine Xi immediately took up the topic, like showing off when she was in a good mood, immediately put down the teacup in her hand, and said triumphantly: "Do you know, when I was taking a nap, I suddenly understood something, This is the best thing for me! From now on, the harem will no longer pose a threat to me!"

Even though Concubine Xi likes to show off, she still remembers that certain words cannot be said, and she must be vague if she can be vague, especially when it is about that person.

This also made Pan'er a little confused, her master said she understood one thing, what exactly did she understand?
However, even though she is curious, she must keep in mind that there are some things that the master does not say, it is better for her as a slave not to know.

Moreover, as long as she understands that this matter makes the master happy, then she just needs to flatter him.

"Your Majesty is smart, you can figure out such a good thing, Pan'er is here to congratulate your Majesty!"

Concubine Xi was both happy and dissatisfied when she heard Pan'er's barren compliments.

Alas, it's a pity, thinking about it, she glanced at Pan'er, and thought to herself: Still not very good at talking.

She is so wise, and since then, the harem will no longer threaten her, and her son will become a big winner in the future... So many good things in the future belong to her and Hongli, just a simple compliment is too crude up.

It's a pity that she can only be secretly happy in this small room, and can't go out to show off, otherwise, more people will congratulate herself.

Concubine Xi, who was a little depressed, felt that her stomach was getting more and more uncomfortable. She picked up the tea cup and continued to drink the hawthorn tea in the cup.

Without Concubine Xi's signal, Pan'er took the empty teacup from Concubine Xi's hand with a wink, then refilled the hawthorn tea for Concubine Xi, and then handed it back to Concubine Xi.

When Concubine Xi took the teacup again, an eunuch walked in through the screen, and greeted Concubine Xi with a salute.

"Get up!" Concubine Xi didn't put down the teacup in her hand, and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch Liu An replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, just now came the news that Eunuch Zhang in front of the imperial court took several young eunuchs to Yikun Palace with the emperor's orders and rewards..."

"What! How is it possible?" Concubine Xi interrupted Liu Anh's reply in shock, and at the same time her hand shook, the hawthorn tea in her hand was almost shaken out.

She frowned, didn't the emperor refuse to let Nian's bitch's substitute last night, didn't that bitch be unfavorable, why did he suddenly reward that bitch again.

Liu An lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and immediately restrained his sense of existence, fearing that he, the person who reported the situation, would be caught by Concubine Xi to vent her anger.

Concubine Xi pursed her lips for a long time, she was very angry that Yuyao was rewarded by the emperor, and the anger in her heart was always very strong.

Speaking of which, Yuyao is new to the palace and has nothing to do with Concubine Xi. Even though Concubine Xi hates new concubines who will be favored by her, her attitude towards Yuyao is still very different from that of other concubines who have just entered the palace. of.

She hates Yuyao more. She herself is a person who likes to enjoy, likes to be flattered by others, and likes to be pompous and majestic.

And when Nianshi was still there, she was always oppressed by Nianshi. Whether it was the emperor's favor, status, or even other people's praise, she always stepped on her to praise Nianshi. She was always unwilling to be jealous. .

Now, the Nian clan is finally gone, and her son is valued by the emperor again, and even her mother is expensive because of her son, and her status and ostentation come up.

But now there was another slut like Nian's substitute, which immediately awakened her jealousy that had been silent since Nian's death.

On the side, Pan'er looked at the angry Concubine Xi, she hesitated to speak.

In the end, she gritted her teeth, and made a bet so that Concubine Xi would value her more and not be overtaken by others or even overtake her in status.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The momentary pride of the Guerjia nobleman can't compare to your future pride."

Concubine Xi looked at Pan'er, she seemed to understand something, but because of the influence of emotions, she couldn't calm down for a while to understand.

Seeing that Concubine Xi still didn't understand, Pan'er continued: "Didn't you explain one thing when you were taking a nap, a thing that couldn't be better for you! From now on, the harem will no longer threaten you!"

When speaking of the last sentence, Pan'er purposely moved closer to Concubine Xi, and said in a low voice.

Concubine Xi suddenly realized, and finally smiled, "Yes, you are right!"

Liu An didn't know what charades were being played between Concubine Xi and Pan'er, but he felt a little uneasy because he hadn't finished answering.

"Mother, empress, the servant hasn't finished speaking yet." The tone of the speech was a little uneasy.

Concubine Xi's smile froze when she heard this.

Damn it!Pan'er couldn't help cursing Liu An in her heart, and didn't finish her reply in a hurry. If she just comforted her master, she didn't do her work in vain, right?
Thinking about it, her eyes were like needles, she lowered her head and looked like an honest and respectful Liu An.

"Tell me, what else is there?" Concubine Xi said with a sullen face, a little displeased.

Liu An still bowed his head and raised his brows, his tone was audibly disturbed.

"The Holy Majesty also announced that the nobleman Guerjia will be in bed tonight."

"Impossible!" Concubine Xi hurriedly stood up, the teacup in her hand was finally shaken off by her shock, and most of the tea was shaken off her body.

But at this time Concubine Xi couldn't take care of it anymore, she murmured: "This is impossible, isn't the emperor unable?"
