Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 402 Muddy the water
The middle palace is happy to have a legitimate son.

The news spread everywhere, and no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they were all happy on the outside.

Pei Yao went to worship his ancestors that day and told him the good news.

Although he values ​​and likes every child, due to the factors of the times, the legitimate son is more important to him.

In particular, the queen has been of good conduct for many years, and the Lu family has a pure family tradition. Although there is not much love between men and women, Pei Yao is very satisfied with the queen in his heart, so he is even more satisfied with the queen giving birth to his legitimate son.

The queen herself even cried with joy.

The first child was born that year, and she suffered a miscarriage at six months old, which hurt her body. After raising her for seven or eight years, all the hardships were finally over.

The medicine she has taken over the years is probably more than the food many people have taken.

Her natal family, the Duke of Hua, knew the Queen's bitterness best. When his wife heard that the Queen, mother and child were safe, she ordered someone to drive her to a Buddhist temple in the outskirts that day to pay her vows and thank the Bodhisattva.

Let’s go back to Fengxuan Palace.

The queen was still weak after giving birth.

Not wanting to see anyone, Pei Yao, Fang Yun and Concubine Jin went into the inner room to have a look.

Concubine Yang didn't come, so she probably wouldn't be able to get up in Zhongcui Palace right now.

It was already midnight after all the work, and everyone didn't want to disturb the queen's rest, so they left after saying a few words.

Pei Yao planned to go to worship his ancestors immediately and tell him the good news, and the other concubines dispersed.

Concubine Jin and Song Lingyi followed Fang Yun, one on the left and the other on the right. There was such big news in the palace today, so they naturally chatted on the way back.

But unexpectedly, Lin Chan also followed.

"I have seen Concubine Zhao and Concubine Jin." Lin Chan saluted.

Song Lingyi, whose status was lower than hers, also saluted her.

"No need." Fang Yun said with a calm expression, "Has Yanbin's foot injury healed? You have to be more careful when walking in the future."

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Zhao. Your Majesty rewarded me with the best medicine. I have fully recovered."

Lin Chan curled her lips and smiled, bright and enchanting.

He glanced at Fang Yun and said again.

"I also want to congratulate Concubine Zhao. Now that the Empress has given birth to the fifth prince safely, when the fifth prince is one month old and the Empress has recovered her health, Concubine Zhao will no longer need to work so hard to take care of the Empress. Everything is going on in the Sixth Palace."

When she said this, Concubine Jin was not happy at first.

"How do you, the Queen, make decisions about the affairs of the Sixth Palace? How can you talk too much?"

In Concubine Jin's heart, it was natural that the more authority Fang Yun had, the better, so she was unhappy.

But Lin Chan suddenly mentioned this matter, and what she wanted was to provoke him.

Concubine Jin never noticed, but Fang Yun was very aware of her little tricks.

She chuckled and said, "Concubine Yan does care about me, but as a concubine in the harem, she should be filial to the queen. You said that it is hard to take care of the general affairs of the Sixth Palace, but you congratulate me that you don't have to help me anymore in the future." The Queen, you don’t understand the rules when you say this. Doesn’t it mean that the Queen should work hard, and you and I should enjoy ourselves?”

And hearing Fang Yun criticize her like this, Lin Chan didn't panic.

"Concubine Zhao is thinking wrongly. The Queen is the middle palace, so she deserves to be served with filial piety by her concubines. However, no matter whether it is an ordinary family or a wealthy family, the housekeeper is always in charge of the household affairs. , although it is hard work, it is also a responsibility that cannot be shared by others. As a concubine, I should not have to interfere with this, so it is considered extra hard work. How could Concubine Zhao misinterpret my concubine's good intentions."

This is interesting to say.

It is implied that Fang Yun is a concubine and the queen is the legitimate wife, but there is no reason for a concubine to be a housekeeper.

If Fang Yun, like Concubine Yang, has some ambitions for the position of the main palace, if she is so excited now, I am afraid she will really get angry.

What a pity, Fang Yun has always had a clear position. She is just a concubine, what does she earn?

Therefore, after hearing this, his expression remained unchanged. "What you said is my fault. However, it seems that during this period of time, Yan Bin has been recovering from her injuries and has learned a lot about the etiquette and respectability rules of Daqi. But if this is the case, why does Yan Bin have to do it again? I don’t know, but it’s not your turn to intervene in the matter between the Queen and me.”

The saying that the first level of officialdom kills people is equally applicable in the harem.

Fang Yun is the concubine and Lin Chan is the concubine. The superiority and inferiority are clearly defined.

After hearing these words, Lin Chan narrowed her eyes and had no choice but to bow and finish the sentence.

"What Concubine Zhao said is that I talk too much."

"I know I'm talkative, so I'll talk less in the future." Fang Yuan's face turned cold, and he glanced at her sharply, "I'm not a good-tempered person, and I won't tolerate others jumping up and down in front of me."

I don't know what Lin Chan is thinking, but Fang Yun is also annoyed by how many times he takes the initiative to make people feel disgusted.

So after saying this, he turned around and left.

Concubine Jin glanced at Lin Chan before quickly following her.

After their figures disappeared into the night, A Jin, who was standing next to Lin Chan, whispered.

"Why bother provoking her? What if the provocation is too serious and the emperor is displeased?"

"It's so boring in the palace, and now that I can't see the emperor, I'll be bored to death if I don't have some fun myself."

Lin Chan smiled indifferently, and immediately moved his gaze to where Zhong Cuigong was.

"The queen gave birth to a legitimate son, but Concubine Yang has no child. Tsk tsk, this palace is in deep water. If we don't muddy the waters now, how can we wait for such a fun opportunity?"

"What are you going to do?" Ah Jin was puzzled.

Lin Chan raised her chin, "Concubine Zhao is too stable. She can't make waves here, which is boring. But Concubine Yang is very capable of tossing people around."

Following her gaze, Ah Jin also had a clear look in his eyes.

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Yang had no child, and she was very irritable during this period, even worse than before.

But because I was weak, I went to bed early.

It was already late at night when the queen gave birth, so no one would wake her up specifically to tell her the news.

Isn't that just looking for scolding?

So when Si Qi heard the news from Fengxuan Palace that the queen had given birth to the fifth prince, and that mother and son were safe, Si Qi was worried outside in the corridor.

Seeing the light of the lantern at the palace entrance, I knew that Yun Qian was back, so I hurriedly went up.

"Yun Cai Nu."

"You know everything, right?" Yun Qian whispered, frowning.

Si Qi nodded, "But how can you tell your Majesty about such a thing? As you know, Cainu, your Majesty is grieving for her lost child."

That bowl of abortion pill was so harsh that even though the baby was five months old, the gender was still unclear after the abortion.

Yun Qian was also worried, "If we don't tell the Queen, the Queen will know about her impending birth, and she will ask sooner or later. Besides, the Emperor is overjoyed to have a legitimate son in the palace, and I am afraid that the palace will be full of rewards tomorrow, so this news cannot be hidden." Live in the Empress.”

Having said this, Yun Qian paused for a moment before gritting her teeth.

"You cooperate with me tomorrow and talk to the empress properly. You will have to face this matter."

"Yes, I will listen to you."

Si Qi nodded.

But unexpectedly, Concubine Yang learned the news early in the morning the next day from the eunuch who was delivering the reward.
