Empress, she is rising step by step

Yan Qingshu grew up beside the Queen Mother since she was a child, and the Emperor liked her very much. It's just that because she has always had the nature of a child, she is innocent and can say whatever she wants, so most of the concubines still like her quite a bit.

But it was different when serving in the palace. There were already many women in the palace, and with Yan Baolin competing with them for the emperor, wouldn't they have fewer opportunities to see the emperor?

Yan Qingshu's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly and pulled the beads on her body.

"Yan Baolin is also old, and it will be a matter of time before he is put on the agenda."

Xu Tingyue forced a smile and said, "From now on, Yan Baolin is an adult. He must not act willfully like the gang before. He should also learn how to take care of the emperor."

"We all see how much the Queen Mother and the Emperor dote on Yan Baolin. If Yan Baolin comes to bed, the Emperor cannot bear to impose too many rules."

Yang Yunxi raised her eyes and lightly glanced at Xu Tingyue.

"It's good for me to see Yan Baolin like this. Only after seeing many people who are pretentious and hypocritical can I understand the value of Yan Baolin."

All the concubines were chattering away, each with their own little thoughts.

Zhu Ci remembered what Yan Qingshu said to herself that day, and couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look at Yan Qingshu. She was looking at the ground in trance, her long and thick eyelashes drooping, looking stupid and stupid.

I guess she also has a lot of unknown feelings and sorrows in her heart.

Zhu Ci sighed silently in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Yan Qingshu. The Queen Mother just wanted Yan Baolin to stay in front of her, so that she could feel at ease by looking at him every day and not being bullied, but no one had ever asked her for her opinion.

"I wonder how the injury on Wenmei's face is?"

Zhu Ci glanced at the crowd gently, "I went to visit Wen Meiren a few days ago, but was turned away. I heard people beating and beating inside, and she seemed very sad."

"This is normal. A woman's face is very important. It would be strange for such a deep gash not to leave a scar. Ever since that day, I have had nightmares from time to time, dreaming about Wenmei being covered in blood."

Yu Jieyu murmured something in a low voice, "But the emperor is also afraid that Wen Meiren will be too sad, and ordered the doctors of the Imperial Medical Office to heal the injuries on Wen Meiren's face, otherwise they will take off their heads."

"The beautiful woman has benefited from the child in her belly, otherwise the emperor would not have put such thought into it."

Xu Tingyue supported her head, half-smiling but not smiling, "Since Wenmei became pregnant, she has offended me many times. I tolerated her many times, but she got worse."

She sneered and sat up straight, "Maybe this is the retribution for a literary beauty who speaks quickly."

"But this retribution is too harsh. I don't know what happened recently. First, there was an inexplicable haunting in the palace. I still don't know what happened. Then there were accidents one after another on Lingxiao Island."

Yang Yunxi was worried, "I hope I can be safe in the future, otherwise I will also feel uneasy."

"People with evil intentions will naturally feel restless. Concubine De is kind-hearted, and I think she will be protected by the Buddha."

Zhuang Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted and gave Zhu Ci a sidelong glance.

"I would like to say that this concubine has blocked the disaster for Lady Zhu, otherwise it would be Lady Zhu who should have been disfigured. If I were Lady Zhu, I would definitely serve Lady Wen on her bed every day until she recovers. .”

Xu Tingyue sneered and fiddled with the Ruyi Magnolia earring on her left ear. "Do you think everyone has the same sense of shame as you, Zhuang Cairen? Some people do nothing wrong based on the emperor's favor and offend many people. They are fine, but they harm others. It's really cool that you can still sit here with peace of mind. It’s admirable.”

"Yes, I really want to find out the person who tampered with the pipa, so that I can get justice for Wenmei. But God is watching what you do. God knows who did it, so the retribution of that person will be natural. Also behind."

Zhu Ci took his time and smiled gently at Xu Tingyue, then turned to look at Zhuang Xiaoxiao.

"It is the evil person who is at fault. The emperor did not blame the concubine. This proves that the concubine is naturally innocent. Since Zhuang Cai has a good heart and cannot bear to see Wenmei suffer this crime, it is better to go according to what Cai Cai said. Weiyang Palace takes care of Wen Meiren? It can also be regarded as a model for the Six Palaces to live in harmony."

Zhuang Xiaoxiao had never experienced Zhu Ci's eloquence. At this moment, he was blocked and couldn't say a word. He could only look at Xu Tingyue secretly, and he happened to meet Xu Tingyue's impatient and slightly bored gaze.

She bit her lip and said, "Zhu Baolin really has a perverted mouth. It's not like Wen Meiren was injured because she played my pipa. Why should I go? And how do you know that I haven't gone to see Wen Meiren."

"Is Zhuang Cairen angry with the concubine?" Zhu Ci raised an eyebrow and said apologetically.

"Concubine, I'm used to being outspoken. If I make my sister unhappy, please don't blame me."

Zhuang Xiaoxiao stared at Zhu Ci until her mouth was filled with the smell of rust, and she was shocked to realize that her lip had been bitten by herself.

Ever since she first met Zhu Ci in Chunse Garden, she had been in bad luck one after another, and everything kept making her unable to get off the stage. Did she really think that with the imperial concubine as her backer, she would be infallible? !

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and the only sound was the rustling wind outside.

It wasn't until Hua Jingyun slowly walked out of the inner hall that all the concubines stood up to salute and say hello.

Hua Jingyun smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, take a seat. I have asked you to wait for a long time."

"The princess has caught a cold, and the queen is very worried, and the concubines can also understand."

Yu Jieyu had always been a talkative person, and because she had no children, she saw how cute the princess was, so she often came to Zhaoyang Palace to visit her.

"I wonder how the princess is doing? Is she feeling better?"

"It's much better now. I'm finally willing to eat this morning."

Hua Jingyun's eyes showed a faint dark blue color. Although he wore exquisite makeup, he still couldn't hide his haggardness.

"You only know this when you become a mother. If a child cries, half of your mother's life will be taken away from you, let alone if you get sick. Fortunately, the princess just caught a cold, otherwise I..."

She shook her head, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips, "What were you talking about just now? I sounded very lively."

"It was just a casual chat. Shen Xiurong asked Yan Baolin what birthday gift he wanted for his birthday."

Yang Yunxi twitched her lips, "I looked at the Queen's face and looked very unhappy. I know that the Queen is concerned about the princess's condition, but she must also take good care of her body."

Hua Jingyun nodded, "I understand. So do you. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. You must take care of yourselves and don't get the heat."

She thought of something and her face turned slightly cold.
