Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 44
Xuan Que hesitated to speak several times, but she endured it again.

Seeing the kindness in his eyes, he asked Xuan Que softly, "Xuan Que wants to ask me something?"

Xuan Que was a little embarrassed and blushed.

"It seems that it's still a question that I'm too embarrassed to ask? Do I need to avoid it?" Tong Zining looked at Shengyi and Xuanque, and said deliberately.

Xuanque hurriedly stopped Tong Zining, almost stuttering, "Sister Ning, don't—don't make fun of me."

After exhaling, Xuan Que asked tentatively, "I just want to know what Sister Sheng thinks?"

Cheng Yi wondered: "What do you think?"

Xuan Que leaned forward slightly, "The empress secretly sent a manuscript to each palace, saying that it was to let the palaces quickly understand the emperor's preferences and serve the emperor better, but the content was obviously carefully sorted out. The pure concubine said that it was sent by the empress, but actually it was written by you. So, I am a little puzzled."

There are those who are kind and puzzled, and there are those who are ridiculed, and there are even those who scold her as a prostitute behind her back. How can you say this kind of thing.

"Although there are more concubines in the palace, it is because they have less time to serve the emperor. Writing these things is indeed what the empress said. It is to let you know the emperor better, and it is also for the sake of the royal family to flourish faster." Sheng Yi said warmly.

But Xuan Que admired and said: "It seems that the palace is not full of intrigues. It is really not easy to think like Sister Sheng. Many people are eager to tie the emperor to their side."

Sheng Yi was quite surprised by Xuan Que's blunt words, "There are intrigues everywhere, but if we are open-minded, we won't be afraid of those gossips."

Xuan Que nodded as if smashing garlic, like a little follower who was being lectured by the boss.

"Sister Sheng said that, like the pure concubine, she speaks nicely." Xuan Que said truthfully.

Sheng Yi just smiled slightly, pure concubine, hehe, but she doesn't need to suppress anyone in Zhaoyang Palace, it's as if she can't see others, whether it's a person or a ghost, time will tell.

From this day on, Zhaoyang Palace is like an energy field, bringing its own light wherever it goes.

After a few days, it was the scene of peace, and it was the gods from all walks of life who showed their magical powers.

Except for Concubine Lan who didn't come to pay her respects due to her discomfort, all the other concubines arrived.

Without the domineering Concubine Lan present, the scene was once harmonious.

The queen couldn't help but tell everyone about the big brother's interesting stories. It can be seen that the queen really likes the big brother.

"Brother is really blessed to have the Queen's Empress as his wife." Pure Concubine laughed after quietly listening to the Queen's sharing.

The queen was very helpful when she heard this, "Speaking of which, it is also my blessing. This child is sensible and intelligent. I am very happy to see him."

"My concubine saw a few toys made outside Jingren Palace, must have been made by the Empress for Eldest Brother?" Xuan Chang leaned forward and asked.

The queen looked doting on her face, "Xuan Chang could see it clearly. Eldest brother is just at the age of playing. It is inevitable that he will be bored in the Shang's study all day long. I arranged for craftsmen to make a few things that children like to play with."

With a warm smile, "It is said that nurturing, whether it is nurturing or nurturing, requires the guidance of a wise and caring mother. This is the empress who has achieved both nurturing and nurturing."

This is not a compliment. I have seen many incidents of stepmothers abusing children or treating children badly. I have to say that it is admirable to be able to become a queen.

The queen looked at the kindness and appreciatively, nodded her head in approval and said: "This is true, it is really troublesome, but as long as the elder brother grows up healthily and can share the worries of the emperor in the future, I will be satisfied."

After that, the Queen's eyes gradually fell on the concubines.

"When you entered the palace, the Empress Dowager taught earnestly that you should spread the branches and leaves for the Emperor as soon as possible. This is your most important thing." The Empress said earnestly.

"It is to follow the teachings of the empress!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

It's just that Yao Gui, who is usually graceful and radiant, seems a little bit downhearted, and even salutes are half a beat behind.

The queen also noticed Yaogui's state, and said with concern: "Yaogui, what's wrong?"

Noble Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and replied: "Reporting to Empress, I always feel a little tired, maybe it's because I haven't had enough rest recently."

The queen nodded, "Then pay attention to your body, it is indeed easy to get tired in spring, and it will be safe to ask the imperial doctor to see it later."

Yao Guiren's eyes were dull, Xie En said: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern."

When the greetings were over, the queen nodded kindly, "You stay first."

The others retreated one after another.

He looked at the queen in a puzzled manner, waiting for the queen's order.

The queen signaled her kindness not to worry, asked Ai Xiang to close the door, and then sat down with a serious expression on her face.

At this moment, Sheng Yi had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Ai Xiang, go out too." The Queen ordered.

Ai Xiang's eye circles turned red for a moment, she turned around and backed out without saying anything.

The premonition in Sheng Yi's heart became even worse, and his face couldn't help becoming solemn.

"There is only Bengong and you here, so I will not hide it from you. A few days ago, Bengong fainted suddenly. I asked the imperial physician to diagnose my pulse condition. The imperial doctor said that this hidden illness of Bengong may not be cured." The queen said this very calmly.

With a buzzing sound in Sheng Yi's head, he immediately froze in place.

"This—" I didn't know what to do for a moment, and I was hoarse.

Unexpectedly, the queen gave a wry smile, "Actually, I don't feel any sadness, but a sense of relief."

Shengyi still couldn't recover from this shock.

"The reason why I let you stay is because I want to talk to you about something." The queen's eyes were extremely clear and firm.

Shocked, Sheng Yi said with a trembling voice: "Empress, please tell me, if Sheng Yi can do it, I will definitely die!"

The queen could see the sincerity in the eyes of good intentions, so she said: "In the past, I thought about the glory of the family and the rules of the posthumous position, and dared not slack off in this square inch. In the past ten years, I got up early and went to bed late every day, and my nerves were tense, lest there be a slight mistake in the harem. I have to worry about the empress dowager, the emperor, and the slightest relationship between the previous court. I am not afraid of your jokes. Sleepless nights are normal. But even so, I still have A deep sense of powerlessness, I always feel that what I think in my heart is too far from what I am doing, this time, the words of the imperial physician made me suddenly sober, and made me make up my mind, hoping to do a Suoyi ceremony in the last time."

Sheng Yi looked at the Queen with distress and admiration, feeling sorry for her, but felt that she was living a real life, "What does the Empress want Sheng Yi to do?"

The queen stared at Shengyi, "I want to be in the ideal place you planned, to be a great golden empress, and I hope that after a hundred years, I will be able to live in this world without regret."

At first, the kindness was just a casual remark, hoping that the queen would help her, but unexpectedly, it entered the queen's heart, and it became the belief that made her persevere.

For a moment, Shengyi was extremely thankful for her whim.

"Okay! As long as the empress wants to do it, she will accompany you!" Shengyi said firmly with tears in her eyes.

The queen said with tears of relief: "It's just that this road is destined to be unusual. There may be many misunderstandings, many complaints, and even injuries. Are you sure you can stick to it?"

The fighting heart in Shengyi's heart was aroused, "The empress is not afraid, what is Shengyi afraid of..."

The queen smiled comfortably.

Then, with a pleading tone, he said, "There is one more thing that I hope to entrust to you."

Sheng Yi has never seen such an expression on the Empress's side, "Your Majesty, tell me."

"Elder brother has not been with me for a long time, but I really love this child. However, I am really afraid that if something happens to me, Peilin will have no external help, nor mother's protection. I am afraid that he will be wronged. Therefore, I would like to ask you to take care of Peilin in the future."

She smiled kindly, "Don't worry, the empress, I also like elder brother, no matter what time it is, I will definitely take good care of him."

However, Sheng Yi was still a little puzzled, so she couldn't help asking: "Empress Empress, Sheng Yi is the one with the lowest status, why are you so relieved to entrust the elder brother to my concubine?"

The queen glanced at Sheng Yi, and said slowly: "Because you were the only one who ordered the palace people not to bully Pei Lin after the concubine passed away, and it was you who transferred Amin to Pei Lin's side, even the emperor didn't think of it."

Shengyi let out a long sigh of relief, it turns out that all the efforts you have made are watched by someone...
