Concubine, she rises step by step

late autumn.

Shen Yi is almost due to give birth, and her body is quite heavy.

"Mother, look, your legs are swollen..." Zhixia said distressedly while rubbing her legs for Shengyi.

Sheng Yi turned sideways slightly, and her stomach felt less oppressive.

I've been feeling a little flustered and short of breath lately, probably because I'm too heavy.

"It's time to unload the goods soon, please bear with me any longer."

What he said seemed to be that someone else was pregnant.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pleasant voice came from outside the door, "Your health is important."

Shengyi was stunned for a moment, this voice——

"Queen Mother." Sheng Yi wanted to get up.

The Queen Mother had already walked in and said quickly: "Don't get up. The Ai family is just afraid that you will be too polite, so they didn't let anyone know."

Sheng Yi looked at the Queen Mother flattered, and wondered in her heart what the Queen Mother was doing here.

The Queen Mother seemed to notice Sheng Yi's hesitation, and said in a warm voice: "How are you lately?"

She nodded kindly: "It's not bad. Thank you Queen Mother for your hard work."

The Queen Mother said with regret in her eyes: "I have worked hard on you these past years..."

The Queen Mother's sudden apology made Sheng Yi even more confused, so she could only say: "What did the Queen Mother say? I have received the Emperor's love and care over the years. I can only enjoy happiness, and there is no hardship."

The Queen Mother sighed, clapped Sheng Yi's hand, and said slightly apologetically: "What happened before was because of the Ai family, it was too extreme."

After all, the Queen Mother is so superior that even if she wants to say something soft, she can't say it easily.

Shengyi stopped casually and said: "Queen Mother, you are the emperor's mother-in-law, and naturally you are also my concubine's mother-in-law. No matter what happened before, your original intention is not to let the emperor get hurt. I can understand it. Besides, I As the Queen Mother of Dai Jin, she not only has to protect the emperor, but also consider possible risks. How can she easily judge right from wrong? Now that I am pregnant, I also think in my heart, don’t let others take advantage of them. , or don’t let them get hurt in the slightest. Even if they don’t understand me, it’s always good for them. Your original intention must be the same. It’s not right or wrong, it’s just a different stance.”

These heartfelt words actually made the Queen Mother, who had been strategizing for decades, shed tears for a moment. She looked at Sheng Yi with red eyes and nodded affirmatively, "You are a good child."

Sheng Yi knew that the Queen Mother was the emperor's mother after all. Even if he disliked her, he still could not break up with the Queen Mother. Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always faced various tests, but no matter what the situation, as long as the Emperor loves his mother The daughter-in-law must not do too much, otherwise, a hundred years later, this will become a regret for the emperor and a barrier between husband and wife.

Just because the emperor agreed to let the Queen Mother stay in the palace, it proves that the emperor still wants to get his mother's love. This is why kindness cannot be counted on.

"Shengyi lost her mother when she was young. She always fantasized that she would be filial to her mother when she had her. Unexpectedly, she became the emperor's concubine because of her great honor. However, I knew that I was from a humble background and was not as noble as a noble family. As long as a woman can serve the Queen Mother, she only wishes to pray for the Queen Mother's health every day and the Emperor will be happy with her wishes, then she will be satisfied." He said to the Queen Mother politely and respectfully.

To be able to set a new standard for herself regardless of past grudges, the Queen Mother truly understands why the Emperor likes this woman.

"A noble daughter from an aristocratic family has her own merits, and a commoner girl also has her own merits. You don't have to belittle yourself, the Ai family sees it. Over the years, you have given every concubine enough face and dignity without fighting for favor or ruthlessness. Respect, this is your pattern and tolerance. Even those noble ladies from aristocratic families may not have such a mind as yours. From now on, you can rest assured that the Ai family will be the first person to support you in this palace!" A rare thing for the Queen Mother! Such confident words made Sheng Yi feel moved and grateful.

"I understand." Sheng Yi smiled softly.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a fetal movement, and I saw that the little guys were very active, and I could even clearly see the tracks on their belly.

Kind smile happily.The Queen Mother was also surprised and said: "It seems that this child also agrees with Ai Jia's words."

The atmosphere is harmonious and the relationship is harmonious.

Sheng Yi never thought that one day he would have such a congenial conversation with the Queen Mother.

After Huo Jiheng from the Zhengxin Palace found out about this, his mouth touched his ears.

"You said they got along very well?" This was more important to Huo Jiheng than government affairs.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Yes, the Queen Mother returned to Shoukang Palace and asked the small kitchen to make some delicious snacks for Concubine Sheng, saying that she would deliver them to Concubine Sheng personally."

After hearing this, Huo Jiheng's brows relaxed and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "I just thought this girl would be lovable."

That kind of smug expression really doesn't look like a lofty emperor.

"Reward! A big reward from Zhaoyang Palace! Go and see what rare things there are and give some to Concubine Sheng!" Huo Jiheng waved his hand and said happily.

Li Qing asked carefully: "How much is the reward?"

Huo Jiheng said indifferently: "Reward more!"

Anyway, the daughter-in-law can make money, and the more rewards you give, the more you will get. In the final analysis, if you move from the left pocket to the right pocket, the daughter-in-law can still be happy, and the harem will be more peaceful, so why not do it.

Li Qing was also really fast. He specially selected some valuable and valuable things and gave them to Shenyi.

Shengyi looked at the gold, silver and jade as a reward, and said to Li Qing, "Did the emperor choose these?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and replied truthfully: "The emperor asked his servants to pick out some good things and send them over."

Sheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's a good choice. Don't choose it next time."

Li Qing said in fear: "Did the slave do something inappropriate?"

Sheng Yi hurriedly reassured: "No, no, no, Mr. Li, don't think too much. These things are very valuable, but they can only be looked at and cannot be exchanged for money. I can't sell these feelings."

Li Qing looked at Sheng Yi with half-understanding, and said doubtfully: "Please give me a clear explanation from Concubine Sheng."

Sheng Yi whispered: "When you choose again, choose something that can be circulated, so as not to upset the emperor's mind, but I have my own uses."

Li Qing listened in shock, "This - this -"

Sheng Yi said softly: "It's okay, just do as you do."

It is naturally good to keep things with commemorative significance, but the emperor does not even know about most of the things, so it is helpless to do this kindly. After all, who can bear the emperor asking how the business is like every three days?
Isn’t it obvious to tell yourself that I am short of money? Quickly use your spare energy to fill the treasury...

Zhixia didn't know if she had an illusion, but she always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that since the empress gave the money to the emperor, the business had become busier!

The kindness was not ambiguous, and he directly ordered: "Open your arms and work hard, your salary will be doubled!"
