Empress, she is rising step by step

Something opened a gash in his heart, and dense pain spread.

He always thought that she was not favored at most in the palace, but he didn't expect that her life would be so difficult.

Lin Guanqi silently withdrew his gaze, saying nothing but silently sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

The small table was not annoyed either. He had long been used to Xiao Linzi's reticence. He was also bullied in the palace, so he could only talk to Xiao Linzi.

"I would like to remind you, do your job well, and don't worry about some things. No matter how much you worry about them, they won't be yours, and you may even lose your life if you don't."

Lin Guanqi stopped sweeping the floor and said dullly, "I know."

What's the use of worrying about it? He is the slave and she is the master. They were impossible before and they are even more impossible now.

After finally walking to Changle Palace, my legs were already aching. Although she is the master, she can only rely on her legs to travel, and she is not qualified to ride in a sedan chair. If she is treated differently by the emperor, it will be a different matter.

Shen Zhinian knew that Cao Wenxi was going to move in with him, so he had already sent people to clean up the side hall.

Shen Zhinian held Cao Wenxi's hands in his hands, "The queen sent someone early in the morning to say that Sister Cao, you are going to move in with me. I feel so happy."

Cao Wenxi looked around and smiled at Shen Zhinian: "It's good that Shen Xiurong doesn't dislike my concubine. They all say that my concubine is an unknown person. I'm really afraid that it will harm you, Shen Xiurong."

"Bah, don't listen to those nonsense. This is the palace, and the people who can enter the palace to serve are people with profound blessings. How can there be evil people? It's just bad luck, just a coincidence."

Shen Zhinian gently patted the back of Cao Wenxi's hand, "I have ordered people to clean up the place where you live, and I also brought you some new quilts and tea sets. See if you are satisfied."

"Excuse me, Shen Xiurong. It's a waste of time and energy for my concubine."

Arriving at the side hall, Cao Wenxi looked around. Not to mention that the place was almost twice as big as the place she lived in Weiyang Palace. It was also very spacious and bright, and the layout was well thought out.

"We are all sisters, and they are all what I should do. Don't be polite to me."

Shen Zhinian took Cao Wenxi around and said, "I want to say something to my sister. I am the only one in this huge Changle Palace. It is really depressing. There is no one to talk to me. Now that you have moved in, I’m finally not so bored anymore.”

Cao Wenxi was a little surprised. Shen Xiurong had served the emperor for many years and was a concubine. How could he not have any heirs for so many years?

Perhaps Concubine De doesn't want to have a baby, but neither does Shen Xiurong? Or is it that Concubine De doesn't want her to have a child of her own, so she has to obey Concubine De?

"As long as Shen Xiurong doesn't dislike my concubine for being too clumsy. When Shen Xiurong has children of his own in the future, he won't feel lonely and bored anymore. I'm afraid that by then he will think that he doesn't have time to be lazy."

The smile on Shen Zhinian's face faded a little without any trace.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Children are debts. If you give birth to an ungrateful child after ten months of pregnancy, it is better not to have a child. Even if you are a filial child, if you cannot protect him from growing up safely, let him What are you doing suffering in this world?”

Why doesn't she want to have a child of her own? The life in the palace was so difficult that she seemed to be able to see the end at a glance.

But she was just retouching her appearance. If the child was born without the emperor's permission, she wouldn't be able to keep it by her side. If she was raised by someone else and called someone else's mother-in-law, what would she do after she was born?

"And now that I'm getting older, I can't give birth to a child just because I want to. Maybe I'll kill two people, unlike you who are still so young. After you go to bed, the good days are still to come. If you don't save them all, it will happen one day. I'm pregnant." Cao Wenxi's name has been written for half a month, and the emperor has not sent her to his bed. It can be seen that in the few times she and the emperor met, the emperor had no impression of her at all.

"According to my sister's auspicious words, I just want to spend this life in peace and have nothing else to ask for."

"Really?" Shen Zhinian glanced at Cao Wenxi, and a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"But I see that your good fortune is yet to come. Based on your beauty, the Emperor will definitely like you as long as he pays attention to you."

She raised her head and held the hairpin in her hair, "I guess you're tired too, so I won't disturb you. You have a good rest. If anything happens, send someone to let me know. Don't get upset."

Cao Wenxi responded softly and sent Shen Zhinian out of the palace.

The days passed, and it was rare that nothing happened in the palace during this period.

Only when Zhu Ci went to Zhaoyang Palace to pay her respects to the queen, she heard Wen Yuanyuan show off what rare treasures the emperor had rewarded her with.

Afraid that scented powder would harm the fetus in her belly, the emperor also specially sent people to make scented powder rouge, which not only would not harm the pregnant woman and the fetus, but could also moisturize the skin.

Xu Tingyue didn't have Bai Xinrui to argue with her, so she pointed the finger at Wen Yuanyuan. She couldn't look down on her arrogance and always made sarcastic remarks.

If it had been the past, Wen Yuanyuan would have swallowed her anger. She is just a little beauty, how can she compete with a majestic concubine? But now it was completely different. She was pregnant with twins, one of whom was a boy.

When this child comes to the world safely, he will be the most noble eldest son of the emperor in Dayan. When the time comes, she, the concubine Shu, will have to give herself up.

Thinking of Wen Yuanyuan's unceremonious retort, the two started fighting as soon as they met. The queen had a headache and it was hard to say too seriously.

Soon the day of Dragon Boat Festival arrived. Every festival in the palace is always filled with joy and grandeur. The palace attendants of each palace had already hung wormwood under the eaves of the palace gates in order to cure diseases and drive away evil spirits.

Zhu Ci and Zhuying sewed the sachets with their own hands and asked everyone in the palace to wear them. He also ordered people to pick wormwood, pomegranate flowers and garlic to weave them into garlands and wear them on their heads.

Yan Qingshu looked at Zhu Ci dreamingly, "Sister Zhu, you are so good-looking. I wish I were a man."

Zhu Ci was knitting a bracelet with colorful silk threads. Yan Qingshu insisted on knitting one for her. She was being coquettish and dishonest, so she couldn't help but agree.

Hearing this, Zhu Ci couldn't help but laugh a little. She raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Qingshu.

"Why is it okay to say you are a man?"

"This way I can marry Sister Zhu as my daughter-in-law, and I will not give this opportunity to the Emperor's brother."

Yan Qingshu shook his head and smiled, "Hey, it's a pity that I am a woman. But this is not bad. If I were a man, I would definitely not be able to steal the emperor's brother."

Zhu Ci just smiled as she listened to Yan Qingshu's childish words.
