Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 73 I still need you to teach me

"Concubine, I dare not slack off." Zhu Ci walked in and gave Bai Xinrui a salute.

"The concubine made some clothes and shoes for children, but she didn't know whether the empress was pregnant with a prince or a princess, so she didn't choose anything that was too bright. It was also a sign of the concubine's love for the emperor's heir in the empress's womb. It’s a little thoughtful, I hope your Majesty won’t dislike it.”

Zhu Ci turned around and took a small package from Zhuying's hand and handed it to Liu Yan. Liu Yan handed the package to Bai Xinrui again, and then took an embroidered pier for Zhu Ci to sit on.

Bai Xinrui opened the package and flipped through it. They are all made of excellent materials, the stitching is meticulous, the embroidered patterns are lifelike, and the meanings are also very good.

Ever since Bai Xinrui became pregnant, she couldn't put it down when she saw children's things.

"Can't you tell? You are a good embroiderer. The lifelike embroidery of this mandarin duck and tiger is actually better than that of the embroiderers in the palace."

Zhu Ci said with a smile: "Your Majesty, thank you. I can't be as good as your wife said. I'm just making clothes for the future little prince, so I don't dare not care. If your Majesty likes it, I can do it when I have free time."

"We haven't seen you for a few days, and you are getting better and better at making me happy by saying nice words. No wonder the emperor likes you."

Bai Xinrui put the things away and handed them to Liu Yan, "How are you doing with the cold? I heard that you accidentally caught a cold because you were copying scriptures and praying for me."

"With the care of the Emperor and the Empress, my concubine is almost healed." Zhu Ci lowered his eyes and smiled.

"It's really difficult for you. I'm not very good at writing. I write the scriptures stroke by stroke. Although the writing is not very good, it is enough to have this heart."

Bai Xinrui stood up, twisted her waist and sat on the Arhat couch. She is now more than six months pregnant.

His movements have begun to feel a little clumsy, but he is still well maintained, and there is no trace of bloat on his face or body.

Zhu Ci was shocked. Did she send someone to check the scriptures she copied? Fortunately, she wrote it with her own hand, stroke by stroke.

"Thanks to you for what happened to Lu Yunv. If you hadn't come to me that day, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to Lu Yunv for the time being, and Concubine Shu would not have suffered such a huge setback."

Bai Xinrui raised her lips proudly, "Lu Yunv has lost her child and was demoted by the emperor. She is afraid that there is no possibility of her coming back. Concubine Shu's face has been disfigured again. She may not be able to recover after being gone for a year and a half. Let’s see what she can do to fight with me.”

In the past, Concubine Shu often made fun of her and always quarreled with her at every turn. She had long had enough. Don't blame her for being cruel, she has never been merciful to her.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. She is not as good as others and I really can’t blame her.

Zhu Ci flattered her and said, "It's all my mother's planning and preparation for the unexpected. Without your wisdom, my concubine, I would have been helpless against Lu Yunv."

"I told you. As long as you work well for me and obey my orders, I will protect you."

Bai Xinrui fiddled with the gold and jade turquoise earrings on her earlobes, "I just don't know how Lu Yunu fell down when she was so good. No matter who was behind it, they have done me a huge favor."

"Empress, I'm afraid things are not that simple." Zhu Ci said.

"Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, Concubine De is unruly by nature. Except for a few words with the Empress, she doesn't like to talk to others in the palace. Why did Concubine De take the initiative to talk to you when she came out of Zhaoyang Palace that day? It happened that the empress was frightened that day."Bai Xinrui pinched a grape and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully.

"In this matter, I also suspect that Concubine De may be involved. But I really can't understand why she wants to harm me. Although I haven't spoken to her in the past, I can still be considered harmonious. It's difficult. Could it be that because she hasn’t had a child of her own for many years, she doesn’t allow me to have an heir?!”

"I'm just guessing. Although I can't be sure whether the incident of the wild cat has anything to do with Concubine De, I am very sure about one thing. That is, Concubine Deer's fall must have something to do with Concubine De."

Zhu Ci sipped the tea and said slowly: "Concubine De has never had any contact with the concubine, but she went to the concubine's palace that day. It's really strange. And some of Yuyun's words and deeds are also really weird. Concubine, listen It is said that Yuyun was sent to Yeting Palace by the emperor, but I don't know whether it is true or not. I always feel very uneasy."

"Do you suspect that Yuyun was silenced?" Bai Xinrui held her chin.

As soon as Concubine Shu went to Qifeng Palace that day, she immediately sent someone to watch in secret after receiving the news, so she knew exactly what happened.

She also wondered why Concubine De went to Qifeng Palace. Although she felt confused, she didn't think about it in detail. After hearing what Zhu Ci said just now, Concubine De became even more suspicious.

"Nowadays, there are rumors in the palace that you killed the child in Lu Yunv's belly, so the palace has been haunted in the middle of the night recently. If it is really Concubine De, it is not only to deal with you, but also to attack me. Yes. Why on earth did Concubine De do this? I usually see that she thinks of herself as a noble person, so I thought she disdained those conspiracies and calculations."

"My dear, don't get excited."

Zhu Ci is now single and weak. If she wants to get rid of the people she wants to get rid of and completely eliminate those who harm her, she can only rely on Concubine Bai for the time being.

And what she said is true, even if she doesn't say it now. When Concubine Bai comes back to her senses one day, she will blame her for not reminding her. Why did she bother to hide it? She might as well tell the truth, which would show that she is loyal and reliable.

"No matter how high-minded you are, once you have entered the quagmire of the harem, don't even think about getting out cleanly. The empress can just be more cautious about Concubine De, and never say anything. Although Concubine De is indeed suspicious, After all, there is no evidence..."

"I still need you to teach me. After all, I am also the queen of the sect. I have met more people than your fingers put together. How can I not even understand these simple principles? It seems that you are smart, right? I am Gong stupid?!"

Bai Xinrui glanced at Zhu Ci displeased, and Zhu Ci could only admit her mistake quickly.

"That's not what I meant. I misunderstood. It's my concubine who is stupid. Please don't be as knowledgeable as my concubine. Take care of yourself."

Seeing that Zhu Ci was quite sensible and didn't show any unhappy look on her face, Bai Xinrui snorted and said nothing more.

"I have a bad temper, don't take it to heart. You are really too verbose, and I have a headache hearing about it."

Zhu Ci smiled and said nothing, just listened quietly. If she didn't give her a few words of advice, Concubine Bai's impulsive temperament could not stand any grievance, and she might have caused trouble for Concubine De the next day.

"I know I was wrong."

Bai Xinrui smiled and raised his chin at Liu Yan. Liu Yan entered the bedroom and took out a few pieces of silk and a small delicate jar with gilded words on the mouth.
