The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 2 The world is unpredictable
According to the rules, a maid cannot sleep with her master, but Chu Ying was frightened during the day, and there was only one bed in the room, so she had to drag Xin Wei to sleep with her.

Chu Ying, with her head on the pillow, muttered about her fate. Xin Wei listened to her quietly, saying that she always calmed down when she was tired, and soon she began to snore.

Xin Wei looked at the mahogany roof of the woodshed and couldn't fall asleep.

Everything in the Yong'an Palace is really good. Even the woodshed has white walls and black tiles, lotus petal pillars, and is airtight. Only the roof is a bit crude.

Suddenly, Chu Ying, who was sleeping beside her, sat up suddenly, eyes wide open and breathing heavily in the dark night.

Xin Wei was startled by her: "What's wrong?"

"I dreamed that Liu Qingshu died," Chu Ying's voice was filled with tears. "I dreamed that her face was scratched by Concubine Meng Hui, and then she was thrown into a cave. The cave was full of wolves, and they killed her. she……"

After all, she was a woman who grew up surrounded by thousands of pampers. Her experiences since childhood were all wonderful, but she couldn't even describe such cruel scenes.

Liu Qingshu was the beautiful lady who entered the palace with them, but Liu Qingshu was granted the title of Zhaoyi by the queen and lived in Weiyang Palace.

All three of them have a similar face.

Xin Wei sat up and let her sit on her back.

"You are quite worried about Liu Qingshu."

Chu Ying covered her face and cried: "Xin Wei, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

What Chu Ying could think of, Xin Wei naturally thought of it too.

The queen's arrangements for the three of them were very thoughtful.Two men with mediocre qualifications were sent to Yong'an Palace to punish Concubine Ying Hui. The appointment of Liu Qingshu as Zhaoyi certainly had other uses and would be presented to the emperor soon.

By then, could Concubine Meng Hui tolerate it?
Xin Wei yawned and comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid. Qing Shu is not someone that Concubine Meng Hui can touch easily. Her father and brother are stationed at the border, and they are both rare tiger generals in Daxia. How could the emperor not treat General Liu kindly?" The apple of your eye?"

"But Concubine Hui will take out her anger on us!"

After thinking about it, Chu Ying felt that the future was bleak, and she even imagined countless possibilities of how she would die miserably.

Bai Ling, poisoned wine, beheading, these are considered to be a happy death, and even more, there are Lingchi, skinning, cannon burning, Huo basin...

"I'm not worried about Liu Qingshu, I'm worried about myself. I really don't want to die!"

Xin Wei said teasingly: "Yes, things are unpredictable. The former prince had been the crown prince for more than ten years, but he died suddenly when the late emperor was critically ill. The new emperor was ordered to come to the Ninth Five-Year Plan when he was in danger. A sudden change in the world is fate, isn't it?"

Chu Ying covered her mouth, widened her eyes and said in a low voice: "You dare to discuss the emperor's affairs?"

"You think it's a dead end, so what else are you afraid to say?"

Xin Wei held her hand and sighed: "So, you can't guess whether tomorrow will turn everything upside down again, and you will be in a situation where you don't need to be afraid anymore."

Chu Ying thought for a while and shook her head: "The first prince was killed by an eunuch. The eunuch has been abolished. Who can let Concubine Meng Hui die in the palace like the first prince?"

Hearing this, Xin Wei tightened her fingers and felt a bit sore in her nose.

She blinked and asked: "Since the eunuch can kill the prince in the palace, it shows his ability, how can he be crippled so easily?"

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she asked this.

Xin Wei hugged her and said in her ear: "The world is unpredictable, isn't it? Since we are fine today, let's live well."

Chu Ying sobbed for a long time, finally calmed down, and let out a long sigh in the dark night.

"Xin Wei, who do you think we are like?" Xin Wei kept hugging her, resting her chin on her thin shoulder, and said lazily: "I don't know, I just see that Concubine Hui hates her very much. .”

"To be able to disgust a woman like this, you have to compete with her for her favor, right? But why have you never heard of such a person?"

The women around the emperor were known to the world as the empress who had the dignity of the mother of the country, Concubine Meng Hui, who was deeply favored by the emperor, and the eldest princess who was like thunder.

But I have never heard of a woman who could be regarded as a thorn in Concubine Meng Hui's side.

Xin Wei's eyes were a little dry.

"If you haven't heard of her, it means she is not worth mentioning."
-
Only half a month later, the news that Liu Qingshu was named a noble concubine spread throughout the palace.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he only sealed the harem once at the request of civil officials.

In the past three years, everything in the Great Xia was in ruins. The emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to care about his concubines. Only Concubine Meng Hui was pregnant with the emperor's heir. No one was lucky enough to receive the emperor's reward.

Liu Guibi is a precedent.

He is the No.1 person who has been fortunate enough to be canonized by the emperor himself in the past three years.

The next day, for the first time, Concubine Meng Hui got up at Mao Shi and went to Fengyi Palace early to pay her respects to the queen. However, she learned that the emperor had made a special exception for Liu Guibin, so she did not have to pay her respects to the queen.

The queen sat on the phoenix chair and said meaningfully in front of all the concubines in the harem: "Concubine Liu is really ignorant of current affairs. Concubine Hui is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and she has never skipped greetings. How dare she accept this?" Holy grace?”

On the surface, they were criticizing Liu Guifei, but secretly they were laughing at Concubine Meng Hui for relying on her great favor, but never receiving any special treatment.

Concubine Meng Hui replied: "All good people are promoted by the queen. The queen does not need to blame herself. It is just a bad appointment."

The queen smiled and said: "As long as the emperor is happy, what can I blame myself for?"

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and the bad atmosphere, all the concubines rushed to ask to leave. No one wanted to get involved in the dispute.

Concubine Meng Hui ridiculed: "The Queen is worthy of being the mother of the country. She is really generous. She is willing to help her rise to the top. I may not have seen the Emperor for several months."

The queen's expression did not move, and Aunt Zhou beside her said: "The emperor respects the queen, even if he has many things to do, he will always come to visit the queen on the 15th of every month."

Concubine Meng Hui raised her eyes with ecstasy.

It's just a routine visit. Concubine Meng Hui has inquired that the emperor always leaves Fengyi Palace as he pleases and will not stay long.

Aunt Zhou added: "The Queen controls the harem, unlike Concubine Hui who has free time. Concubine Hui please come back."

Concubine Meng Hui touched her belly, looked at her belly and said: "Of course I have to leave, and I have to go back to drink anti-fetal medicine. This anti-fetal medicine is very bitter... The queen has never taken it, has she?"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Grandma Zhou was so angry that she caught up two steps and shouted: "Concubine Hui has been drinking for a few times, how come she didn't see any of the princes? You must be careful and careful, don't let the emperor rejoice in vain!"

Concubine Meng Hui couldn't say anything anymore. She held back her resentment and vented her anger on Aunt Qin as she walked away.

"You see how the queen's lackey can bark, but why are you silent? Don't you know how to help me?"

Aunt Qin nodded and admitted her mistake: "Mother, I am stupid."

She thought in her heart that Concubine Hui had a family to rely on and an heir to support her, so she dared to argue with the queen.How could she, a slave of a concubine, go up and talk to Grandma Zhou?
