Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 9
Jiang Man stared at Yi Cui for a while, then asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"Your maidservant has made up her mind, master please keep this servant girl." As she spoke, Yi Cui kowtowed her head deeply.

Jiang Man pondered for a while, and said: "If you have made up your mind, then stay, the name has to be changed, I think it's better to follow Lianqiu and call it Wandong, but since you stayed, I hope you can always Remember who your master is."

"Yes, this servant thanked the master for giving me the name, and this servant swore to the death that she would not betray the master." Yi Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was truly accepted by the master.

Jiang Man nodded, told her to get up, and rewarded her with a plain silver hairpin, so that she and Lianqiu could work together in the house in the future.

Wan Dong was so excited that she wanted to kneel again, but Jiang Man stopped her, "Okay, from now on, just work hard, and you don't need to kneel every now and then in Yufu Garden."

"Yes."

It may be because of the five years in Shanggong Bureau, Wan Dong's personality is much calmer than Lian Qiu's, and with her working in the house, Jiang Man is more at ease than before.

I don't know if it's because there are fewer things to worry about, but Jiang Man wants to doze off when she has nothing to do these days.

Lianqiu persuaded Jiang Man with some worries, "Master, you can't do anything if you stay in the house all day. You see, you haven't been energetic recently. It's better. The weather is getting warmer and warmer these days. You're fine." It’s time to go for a walk in the yard to bask in the sun.”

"Tired!" Jiang Man yawned lazily as she spoke.

Lianqiu was about to persuade her again when Xiaodouzi came in with a smile on her face, carrying a food box, "Master, I just heard the good news that another mistress in the palace is pregnant."

Lianqiu rolled her eyes at Xiaodouzi when she heard the words, "What kind of good news is this? It's the other master's wife who is pregnant, not our master."

Xiaodouzi scratched his head embarrassingly, and explained: "Didn't the villain think that our master will be grounded because of Lu Meiren, but Lu Meiren is constantly favored because of her pregnancy, and now there is another pregnant concubine in the palace?" Well, then we can share part of Meiren Lu's favor, if this is the case, Meiren Lu will definitely be angry, it would be even better if she became angry because of her anger."

Lianqiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, it's best to piss her off."

Jiang Man listened to the conversation between the two, and asked with a smile: "Who is pregnant?"

"It's Ji Zhaorong from Yuxiu Palace. I heard that it's been three months. I didn't tell anyone because of the fetal instability." As for whether the fetal instability is real or deliberately concealed, I don't know.

"Ji Zhaorong?" Jiang Man was a little surprised.

Ji Zhaorong entered the palace in the seventh year of Yong'an. After entering the palace, he was very favored for several years, but since last year, the number of times Emperor Yong'an went to Yuxiu Palace has gradually decreased. Instead of going every few days, it has become every other day. Go once a month or a month.

During the years when Emperor Yong'an went to Qin, Ji Zhaorong was never pregnant. Now that Emperor Yong'an went less frequently, Ji Zhaorong became pregnant instead. It seems that such a thing as being pregnant is really impossible to say.

However, it was Ji Zhaorong who was pregnant, so Meiren Lu was really going to get angry. The hatred between these two people is simple and simple. When she was in Yuxiu Palace, she tried to rob someone, but she never thought that Ji Zhaorong's methods were superb. Not only did Lu Meiren fail to rob someone, she was also severely humiliated by Ji Zhaorong afterwards.

The two have been married since then. After Ji Zhaorong was not so favored, Lu Meiren has troubled Ji Zhaorong more than once, but Ji Zhaorong's grade is placed there. When the two fight against each other, Lu Meiren loses more and wins less. Now they are fighting again. The first one and the latter are pregnant, and I don't know if the two can decide whether they will win or lose this time.

Jiang Man quite hoped that the one who won was Ji Zhaorong's, after all she and Ji Zhaorong had no enmity.

However, it is not easy to conceive a child in this harem, and it is even more difficult to give birth safely.

"Cairen, should we send something to Ji Zhaorong to congratulate?" Wan Dong reminded.

Jiang Man shook her head, "No, am I thinking behind closed doors? Just pretend we don't know the news."

Wan Dong stopped talking.

Jiang Man glanced at her, "What's the matter, do you think it's wrong?"

Seeing that Jiang Man didn't look angry, Wan Dong boldly said: "The servant is thinking that Ji Zhaorong is now one of the nine concubines, and if he is promoted to the next position, he may be Concubine Shu. If Ji Zhaorong is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, it may be that It's not that I can't think about the seat, wouldn't it be too good if the master doesn't go to give gifts at this time?"

If Ji Zhaorong really got that seat, would he be dissatisfied with his master because of his negligence today?

Jiang Man smiled, "I'm glad you can think about me, but I'm grounded after all, and it's not appropriate for Baba to send things over at this time."

After Jiang Man said that, Wan Dong didn't say much more.

Two concubines were pregnant one after another, and the concubines in the harem seemed to be stimulated at once, and they all tried their best to compete for favor in front of Emperor Yong'an. Either you gave soup today, or she gave snacks tomorrow, and Emperor Yong'an must pass On the road, those who play the piano and flute, those who chase and fight in the imperial garden, those who dance in single clothes, all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly.

Jiang Man, who listened to these news every time, was just eye-opening.

At the same time, Emperor Yong'an decided to organize a spring hunt in a good mood.When the late emperor was alive, he was keen on hunting. Almost every year, he would organize spring hunting, autumn hunting, and sometimes summer seedling hunting and winter hunting.

After Emperor Yong'an succeeded to the throne, he was busy with political affairs. Spring hunting, summer seedling hunting, and winter hunting were all cancelled. Even autumn hunting was not organized every year.

The emperor's spring hunting must be accompanied by his concubines. There is no master in the harem, and the list of escorts is determined by Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei De, who are in charge of the harem.

When the list of accompanying drivers came out, Emperor Yong'an read it and added the concubines who he wanted to bring Jiang Guifei but did not include, and the list was finalized.

After the list came out, some were happy and some were sad.

The concubines who can go to accompany the driver pack up happily, while those who can't go secretly get angry or say a few sour words.

It's just that none of this has much to do with the grounded Jiang Man.

The sixth day of March is the auspicious day selected by the Qin Tianjian. Jiang Man learned that Emperor Yong'an Luanjia had left the palace, and after Lu Meiren and Ji Zhaorong stayed in the palace due to pregnancy, she once again shouted at the servants of Yufuyuan In front of them, I told them to keep an eye on the gate, not to leave Yufuyuan for nothing, and not to let irrelevant people enter the gate of Yufuyuan.

Seeing Jiang Man's serious face, Lianqiu and the others agreed solemnly.
