The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 24
"It seems that Sister Concubine Ying doesn't intend to give Ben Gong any face."

Concubine Ying, who was kneeling, swallowed involuntarily. Facing the coercion of the imperial concubine, she was somewhat afraid.

But no matter how scared he was, he still had to refuse, so he clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and continued to speak boldly.

"The empress misunderstood the concubine, how dare the concubine disrespect the concubine, it is really not good enough, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the empress, then it is the concubine's sin."

Not good enough?

Fortunately, she dared to use this as an excuse.

Her father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and I'm afraid it's the same rules that she's been exposed to since she was a child, how could she even shirk like this when holding a banquet.

There must be a reason behind it.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lin Guifei changed her aggressive attitude and continued speaking in a tone of spring breeze and drizzle.

"I'm joking with my younger sister. Since this banquet cannot be held by the concubine Yingying, then..."

His eyes swept over the other concubines below, some were eager to try, some were deliberately avoiding, and of course there were also curious ones.

"Let Ye Guiren and Du Chang discuss it. You two are old people who have served His Majesty for many years, and you are familiar with many rules, especially Ye Guiren. I remember that before you served His Majesty, you were originally an inner court." The people in the company must have done a lot of banquets, so they must be decent and thoughtful, you know?"

This tone is no longer a discussion, but a direct order.

Du Changzai was naturally overjoyed, as expected he was right in choosing to cling to Concubine Lin.

If she could get the emperor's attention again based on this matter, she would be able to live a more comfortable life in the harem.

So he stood up and sincerely thanked Concubine Lin Gui.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubines must be careful, and they will never embarrass your Majesty."

After she said these words, Ye Guiren had no choice but to refuse, so he could only kneel down and thank her.

Because of what happened just now, Lin Wanyi took an extra look at her, and saw that although she readily agreed, she didn't have the excitement of Du Changzai on her face.

Thinking about it, he is also a person who can hide his thoughts.

I don't know why such a person would help out just now.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mu promised to look at her and secretly gave her a thumbs up. Lin Wanyi immediately understood that she had made a mistake.

Mu Lanchun thought it was Concubine Lin Gui deliberately making faces for her.

After all, Chu Guiren, who offended her with his rude words just now, has already been grounded in disguise, and Ye Guiren, who helped her, also hosted a banquet. This is a matter of hard work and flattery.

This performance is to let everyone know that Lin Wanyi cannot be easily offended.

Lin Wanyi was very worried about this.

What Mu Lan's acne can understand, other people will naturally understand.

For her, there are many fewer threats, but in the face of such "kindness", what does Concubine Lin Gui want from her?

Before using the future of the big brother as bait, and then to cheer for himself.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a game of inviting you into the urn.

Even though she could see through it, she couldn't refuse it.

All I can do is wait for Concubine Lin Gui to show her trump card. As for whether she can catch it, this is Lin Wanyi's ability.

Regarding the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Lin Guifei explained a few more words.

With the excuse of reading the family letter, Lin Wanyi was left behind.

Mu whispered something in her ear before agreeing to leave.

"Sister, come on, I'm going to watch Chunqi make green plum cakes first."

She is very leisurely, but looking at herself, her future is really at a loss.

Put all your energy into dealing with Concubine Lin Gui.

After everyone left, Qin He ordered all the palace people to serve outside, and only Concubine Lin Gui and Lin Wanyi were left in the palace.

Lin Wanyi felt that this matter must be serious.

Sure enough, Lin Wanyi was startled when Concubine Lin Gui opened her mouth.

"Concubine Ying has been pregnant for four months, but no one in the harem knows."

Why did the concubine fail to report her pregnancy?

Seeing Lin Wanyi's doubts, Concubine Lin Gui explained.

"It took her so long to conceive a child in the palace, so she should be more cautious. Presumably she has already secured the pregnancy at this moment, and she just waits for the right time to say it."

"The empress means..."

"There are two pregnant concubines in the palace all of a sudden, and their status is not low. If they give birth to Lin'er smoothly, I'm afraid they will have to be promoted to another level in status."

Advance to another level!
Concubine Ying is a concubine, which is fine, but if Concubine Lan is promoted to another level, is it possible that there will be two noble concubines in this palace?

This is something that has never happened in the past dynasties.

No wonder Concubine Lin Gui had such a reaction.

"Even now, I don't want to go around in circles with you anymore. When Mingruo was born, I hurt my body, so after so many years of recuperation, I didn't get pregnant again, so I must have guessed the reason why you entered the palace. separated."

Concubine Lin Gui went straight in, without covering it up.

"Before the fruit is ripe, it's hard to say whether the child can stay or not. Even if it is born, it may not be able to be raised in the palace. The eldest prince and the second prince are examples."

Suddenly mentioning the two princes, Lin Wanyi became more and more frightened.

"The Eldest Prince was born to Empress Xu, the eldest son whom His Majesty placed high hopes on. Unfortunately, he died of illness when he was about four years old. The Empress was so exhausted that she also fell into a slump and passed away after a year."

"The second prince was born to Concubine Su. When he was born, it took three days of dystocia to give birth. Not to mention the child's congenital deficiency, even she lost her life due to hemorrhage, and the child became Concubine Lan's adopted son."

Concubine Lin Gui looked at Lin Wanyi's face while talking.

Sure enough, it was a little pale.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a sarcasm, after all, he just entered the palace, so he couldn't stand this kind of thing.

But the words in his mouth didn't stop.

"On the contrary, the third prince born to Concubine Yi is not only strong and healthy, but also talented and intelligent. Looking at it from all over the palace, he is quite capable."

Mentioning the words "handy", Lin Wanyi clearly felt Concubine Lin Gui's gnashing of teeth.

It seems that the third prince has long been a thorn in her side.

If Concubine Yi didn't take care of him closely, I'm afraid that many people in the harem would attack this sound third prince.

"Now there are two more pregnant women. If they are both princes, then they are the fourth prince and the fifth prince. The palace is much more lively."

He seemed to be thinking about something while speaking, and his eyes became distant.

Lin Wanyi listened quietly, she was not the only one who agreed to intervene at will, and since Concubine Lin Gui didn't clearly say what she wanted to say, it's better not to make wild guesses.

Being clumsy would make her live more comfortably.

After a while, Concubine Lin Gui came back from her thoughts, and when she looked at Lin Wanyi again, she probed a little more.

"Although you entered the palace late, I see that the momentum is good, but the situation of only accompanying the driver but not sleeping with me like yesterday, it is better to be less likely to happen."

When this was pointed out all of a sudden, Lin Wanyi pursed her lips tightly in embarrassment.
