Qingchuan: The empress is so cute and charming that she goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 65: Queen Mother, don’t you remember me?
After the concubines returned to the palace, they immediately went to inquire about Zhiyu's title.
But this involves the late emperor’s concubines and the secret past with Yinzhen.
They only found out the word "和", which was the title of Concubine Dun Yi during her lifetime.
Apart from that, nothing was found,
"That's it?"

Nian frowned and threw the paper in his hand on the table.

"It's just the title you had with Imperial Concubine Dun Yi during her lifetime. Is that too serious?"

"Yes." The little eunuch who was inquiring about the news knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

Nian's intuition told her that this matter would never be that simple.
But other than that, nothing else could be found.

Nian had no choice but to wave his hand impatiently and let the little eunuch retreat.

This situation was repeated in most of the harem.

No matter how hard the concubines tried to investigate, they all got the same answer in the end.
However, there were still a few people who found some clues.

One is the concubines with Manchu surnames who have deep family roots - namely the Ulanara family and the Niu Hulu family.

As the queen, Uranara is in charge of the Sixth Palace, and there are countless spies in the palace.
During the late emperor's period, he often went to the palace to pay his respects, so he knew about his concubine.

If you pay more attention, it will not be difficult to find out this matter.
And Concubine Xi,
Relying on a few nails left behind by the previous dynasty, I found out the meaning of this title.

With a little bit of conjecture, we can infer that Zhiyu is the shadow of the late emperor and concubine in Yinzhen's heart.

Second, Concubine Yu, who left a very dark secret in front of Concubine Xi,
After Concubine Xi learned the news, she learned the matter completely.
"Miss?"

Zi Su carefully offered a cup of tea,

Looking at Concubine Yu who has been deep in thought since she got the news about Yongshou Palace,

Called in a low voice,
"What's wrong?" Yubi came back to her senses, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Your Majesty, we went to Yanxi Palace."

"Guo and Concubine are now pregnant with a dragon fetus, so the Emperor will naturally be happy."

I usually go there often, but now that I am pregnant, I have to go even more.

Concubine Yu was very unconcerned.

Zisu raised her head carefully and glanced at Yubi's expression.
"But today is..."

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the rules, every first or fifth day is the day when the emperor goes to the queen's palace.

Yubi glanced at her lightly, "So what about the first day of the new year?"

"The emperor's liking is the key. Besides, our empress is so 'virtuous', how can she care about her beloved concubine who is pregnant?"

Zi Su lowered her head, "That's what the Queen said."

Yubi waved her hand in disgust and asked her to go down.

Seeing this, Zi Fu, who was standing on one side, twitched the corners of her mouth imperceptibly.
Then he came close to Yubi and tapped her legs lightly.
"Mother, are you thinking about the news that Shigure handed over just now?"

"I really didn't expect that..."

Yubin sighed,

She was originally curious about the reason why Mrs. Guo could quickly regain favor after miscarriage, and even be favored by the Sixth House.
Just made friends with him again and again,

Later, he deliberately asked Guo to use the incident of Concubine Qi to show favor to him.

Just to talk to him and find out the news,
Unexpectedly, Guo was favored for this reason.

But she still couldn't figure it out. Since she was the shadow of the concubine,

Then why didn't the emperor treat Guo in a different light before?
Is it just because He Fei is not dead yet that Xibei goods are not as good as genuine products?
And does Guo himself know about this?
……

Zhiyu didn't know at all at this time that the matter of the substitute was already known.
When she went back, she only cared about sleeping and being surprised at the sudden pregnancy.

I completely forgot that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Until Yinzhen came, the two chatted for a while and accidentally mentioned the day.

Zhiyu suddenly remembered,

She had never planned to show off her favor in this way.

So of course she won't keep Yinzhen,

Through the uneasiness of pregnancy and sleep,
He said that not only would Yinzhen not be able to rest well here, but it would also make her sleep more unstable.

He was urged to go to Jingren Palace.Ulanara was very useful to Zhiyu’s practice of understanding interests.
When I say hello the next day,
Not only did he have a gentle face towards her, he also spoke a few words to block the concubines when they gave her a hard time.

After that, Yinzhen only focused on dealing with the mess left by that day's forced labor.

When I came to the harem occasionally, I just went to Zhiyu, or to sit with a few high-ranking concubines who had children.
When you feel happy for a while, you only need to pay attention to guarding against the murders that come from behind.

The rest of them have no symptoms of pregnancy and are being cared for by slaves, so they are living quite well.

On this day, I finally felt that the storm about my pregnancy had subsided.
Zhiyu changed into inconspicuous clothes and left the palace with Dongju and an inconspicuous palace maid.

I avoided palace people all the way to Ningshou Palace.
Zhiyu asked the little palace maid who followed him to distract the guard guarding the door for a moment.

Taking the opportunity to sneak into the small Buddhist hall with Dongju,

The number of servants in Ningshou Palace has dropped sharply, and now only Ah Yue is guarding the small Buddhist hall.

When Ah Yue saw her figure, she quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhiyu nodded,

"Ah Yue, I will go in to visit the Queen Mother."

Ah Yue opened the door without thinking too much.

With a "squeak" sound, the light from outside the door came in.

"Concubine Guo?"

When Wu Yashi heard the sound, she turned her head and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed and safe."

Zhiyu waved the handkerchief perfunctorily,

Wu Yashi ignored it, turned around, continued to face the Buddha statue, closed his eyes and counted the beads.

"The Queen Mother, you don't know yet, but I am pregnant."

Wu Yashi continued to look dismissive, "So what?"

Is it possible to expect her, the Queen Mother, to be happy and reward her for this?
What a joke,

Wu Yashi raised the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh at Zhiyu.
But the next words made Wu Yashi completely stop laughing.
"The emperor has given me a title. You must not know what it means."

Zhiyu's face was calm, but he stared at Wu Yashi closely and said word by word:

"It's He, He concubine."

and?
The same title as the Guarjia clan she solved with her own hands?
Wu Yashi paused as she turned the Buddha beads in her hand.
Slowly opening his eyes, a trace of sarcasm quickly flashed in his eyes,
He poked mercilessly:
"The Ai family used to think that the emperor was just cold and cold, and he treated his women with care,"

"Just like the queen, although she is not favored, she respects her; and like the Nian family, she is favored and has children,"

"The Ai family originally thought that you would be the next favorite concubine, but unexpectedly, the emperor actually regarded you as Guarjia's substitute."

Wu Yashi turned her head and stared at Zhiyu with a smile in her eyes.

I thought Zhiyu would be unable to control his emotions after hearing this, and would be surprised or unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, Zhiyu met her gaze with a half-smile,
The proud look on Wu Ya's eyebrows suddenly stopped.
"What? You didn't investigate? The word '和' refers to the titles of the late emperor and his concubine,"

"Now that things have happened, the Ai family is not afraid to tell you that the late emperor and his concubine once worked with the emperor..."

Seeing Wu Yashi desperately trying to take the opportunity to stimulate her,

Zhiyu shook his head, his red lips twitching,
"What a pity, what a pity!"

Wu Yashi was annoyed by her calmness, "Pretending, what on earth do you want to say?"

Zhiyu raised a smile,
"The Queen Mother, do you really not remember my concubine?"
