My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 177 The Queen
Spring and autumn came, and when the empress diagnosed her happy pulse, the leaves of the royal garden also changed from green to yellow.

The entire Jianzhang Palace is filled with joy.

At that time, Jiang Xian was reporting the official affairs to her with the account book that had been sorted out. The queen was still dignified, but her beautiful young face was covered with confusion: "Gu Zhaoyi, can you tell me how you felt when you were pregnant with the eldest prince?"

Hearing the uneasiness in the boss's words, Jiang Xian picked up some precautions and told her, and smiled after finishing speaking: "But seeing Fu Jin's reaction, I knew I was worrying too much."

"Why?"

"Just now when I talked about the discomfort of being pregnant, Fu Jin became anxious. When she heard me say that as long as everything is in moderation, there is no need to be taboo, she jumped up from the spot to refute me, for fear that I would spoil the teaching. Your Majesty, how can you not be considerate when you have such a court lady who thinks for your Majesty by your side?"

The queen turned her head, and she saw Fu Jin, the palace maid behind her, blushing.

She smiled, shook her head and said, "Gu Zhaoyi is from here, and Fu Jin is still a girl."

"I am born with a strong body, and the queen's phoenix body is precious, so I should pay more attention to it."

"Precious is false, and heavy is true. The Mid-Autumn Festival and the sacrificial ceremonies of the first emperor are just around the corner. You can't be sloppy. There are no adult princes in the court, and you can't leave it all to the Ministry of Rites. I have to watch more or less, and Concubine Zhang Xian can't be free. Think about it." Promote Lu Ronghua, but also afraid that she will cause trouble in vain."

Every quarter, the House of Internal Affairs releases a special set of jewelry, and the queen never changes them. When I hold her hand today, the rings and bracelets on the queen's hand are all new designs - she has lost weight, and the old rings can't hang, and the bracelets don't fit. She looked too big, so she could only melt into a heavy blow, so Jiang Xian could see that she had lost weight.

Jiang Xian: "Lu Ronghua comes from a family, so I think I can help my mother share her worries with a few words."

The leader will not speak too clearly, and a fool who has to crush the words to understand will not be able to get in front of the queen. What she wants to express to Jiang Xian is a naked interest. Yan Chizhong If the first prince is mediocre and incompetent, but the other princes are outstanding and valued by the emperor, the prince who occupies the position of the first son but is not the prince will be in a dangerous and embarrassing situation.

The queen said that she was looking forward to having a son in one fell swoop, and when she had a son-in-law, the sight of staring at her belly would be much less, and she had fulfilled the responsibility of a regular wife: "If he is sensible and talented, I will be very pleased. No mother would hope that her son will be bad, but he is still so young, so young that I am afraid that the sound of celebration outside will be too loud and disturb him."

This is something that is not clearly stated, and you have to pay for it yourself.

Jiang Xian said that she didn't care: "I'm either in Jianzhang Palace or Zhaoyang Palace. Lu Ronghua doesn't dare to come to these two palaces to trouble me. Besides, I have a higher status than her now. She saw me You have to greet me and salute, you haven’t come to me for a long time.”

It won't hurt Jiang Xian so much, but I can feel the solemnity in her words: "Whether it's for myself or my children, we can't be alienated."

The major events in the harem came one after another, and it was no easier to manage than the emperor.

It turned out to be this!
The empress is very close, although she doesn't treat her friends warmly like a noble concubine, but she can always consider Jiang Xian in business matters, and don't teach her to suffer.Jiang Xian understands how rare it is to have such a boss, so she pays her all in return. They have been together for several years and have never had any conflicts.

Day after day in the harem, neither Ronghua nor Zhaoyi could threaten her status, and she still habitually protected Gu Zhaoyi, who came from a humble background, so that she would not be bullied.

He wasn't even the son of a legitimate son, but because of his literary talents, he was valued by the first emperor and trained as a prince for a period of time, which was enough to be the reason for the new emperor to take him quickly.

"Now that I am finally pregnant, the emperor and queen mother can rest assured."

Having an emotional foundation cultivates trust, and no matter who sits on the dragon chair in the end, they will treat each other kindly.

It was only then that the queen remembered that there was a difference.

■

The queen doesn't like extravagance, and her daily dress is as simple and clean as possible while maintaining the dignity of the royal family. For example, the jewelry and rouge gouache she wears are all top royal rouge in the House of Internal Affairs. Concubine, her requirements for rouge are as detailed as the variety of roses. The colors that are popular in Beijing are different every year. She has requirements for the color number, and a lot of beauty products are added to it.

The queen put her hand on her abdomen and held her hand tightly: "You don't have to worry about our relationship changing after having a child. It's a matter between the two children. Even if there is, it will be more than ten years later. ——When the child grows up, his father has to take care of it."

"My concubine understands."

The two have a good relationship, and they often refer to each other as you and me in private.

——The low-ranking concubines have the opportunity to be promoted together on New Year's Eve. Although they don't have the favor, they are blessed. They live in a corner of Bihua Palace, and Chen Changzai is also promoted to the position of talented person.

Only this sentence, Jiang Xian seriously called himself a concubine, and answered solemnly.

The only solution is that he and Xindi have known each other since childhood, and both sides have a good relationship with their biological mothers.

In modern times, it is powder, eyebrow pencil, lipstick, liquid foundation... Each kind is only the same, and the same cosmetics are used day after day: "I asked the queen last time if she didn't buy more? Even if she rewarded me, it is better than that." She has a lot on the dressing table."

After walking out of Jianzhang Palace, Jiang Xian only had one thought: "The empress has lost weight again."

The queen couldn't stop talking, but she exerted a little strength while holding Jiang Xian's hand.

Lord Xie is the best example.

"The queen empress is so simple and self-sufficient, she is indeed a model of motherhood in the world."

The queen glanced at her: "It's easy for you to say! I was thinking for you, didn't she always come to provoke you before?"

If the queen wants it, of course she can get it, but she is not keen, and the rouge and gouache on the dressing table are only the most basic ones.

The unity of the emperor and queen is both a right and an obligation.

It was rare for Chen Cairen to say something decent.

"The empress said that she has enough things to choose every day, and she really doesn't have the mind to sit in front of the dressing table and think about which rouge to use today."

People's energy is limited, if you spend more in one place, you must spend less in other places.

She lost a lot of weight just after pregnancy, can the queen really hold on?

Jiang Xian's worries are not entirely unreasonable, because not only will there be the Mid-Autumn Festival and offering sacrifices to the late emperor, but the general election will also be imminent.It has been a long time since there was a newcomer in the harem, and the emperor's heirs were not abundant. The courtiers could not blame the emperor, so they could only make excuses from the perspective of "not enough concubines are not good enough", so after discussion, if a newcomer is admitted this year, it will also be given to the last time. Officials without school-age daughters have the opportunity to send someone to the harem.

In matters of the draft, even if the queen distributes the power, she can't be the shopkeeper.

Jiang Xian looked back at Jianzhang Palace, which had become smaller due to the distance, feeling worried.

It's just that although the queen doesn't love power, she has a strong sense of responsibility. She held back all her energy to sort out the matter of the draft, and Jiang Xian was also entangled in other things—the stepmother, Mrs. Zhang, handed the sign into the palace and complained bitterly. , just because of the draft, the Jiang family's threshold was almost broken!
