Harem for a living

Chapter 28

Concubine Shu could understand the meaning of the queen's words, and hurriedly saluted the queen in fear and said: "I know my identity, so I will not do anything to embarrass the queen." A little bit shy: "The Empress also knows that this is the first time I am pregnant and has no experience. Therefore, I want to ask the Empress for grace to give this concubine a nanny, so that I can mention some things that I need to pay attention to. .”

Chen Manrou was surprised when she heard what Concubine Shu said. This Concubine Shu is smarter than she imagined. If the Empress really gave Concubine Shu all by herself, Concubine Shu's children would have several layers of protection in the future.

The first floor was given by the empress, and this person was given by the empress. Of course, the empress cannot let the child in Concubine Shu's belly have an accident, otherwise, the responsibility will not be released.The queen must do her best to look after Concubine Shu.

The other layer is to let other people who want to make up their minds think about it more. Concubine Shu is the one who is protected by the queen, and other people have to think more about it if they want to move.If you attack Concubine Shu, you will not give the queen face and slap the queen in the face.

The most important thing is that Concubine Shu tied herself and the queen together.Concubine Shu is a surrender. If the queen takes good care of Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu's son will stand by the queen's son in the future.Of course, no one can say clearly whether this is a real or a temporary siding. After all, people's hearts are changeable.

Not only Chen Manrou saw Concubine Shu's meaning, but also the queen was a little surprised. After weighing it for a while, the queen shook her head and said, "I know you are worried about the child in your stomach, but the mother here in this palace, Either you have to take care of the eldest princess, or you have to take care of the eldest prince, there is still no vacuum."

Seeing the disappointment on Concubine Shu's face, the queen then smiled and said, "However, I can recommend a nanny to you."

Concubine Shu's face immediately showed joy, and the queen said with a smile: "Do you know Qin Qin?"

"Nurse Qin?" Concubine Shu frowned and thought for a while, then she honestly showed doubts: "I haven't heard of it, but this Nanny Qin has a lot of background?"

"That's right, that's the emperor's nanny. After the emperor opened the mansion, he took Qin in. Now, Qin is the head of the house of internal affairs." The queen turned sideways, with a gracious expression on her face She said: "This mother Qin is easy to do, but she doesn't do it. Even this palace, I couldn't work for Qin mother back then. However, sister, you are pregnant with the emperor's heir. You don't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. Look at the baby in my sister's belly, I will personally go and invite Mother Qin for you."

Chen Manrou's eyes shifted from the empress to concubine Shu, it's really one foot taller than the devil.Concubine Shu wanted to borrow the queen's hand, and while the queen was selling Concubine Shu's face, she borrowed Concubine Shu's hand to slap Concubine Yang.You see, they are all pregnant women. Concubine Shu can be taken care of by the emperor's nanny, while Concubine Yang Gui lives in Jingren Palace by herself. There is no ordinary difference in treatment.

The most important thing is that the current harem is not just two or three kittens, but even two more giant Buddhas. The queen really can't guarantee that she will be able to protect Concubine Shu.Therefore, the queen is not willing to take responsibility.

Concubine Shu also had a sudden change in her mind. As soon as the queen's words fell, Concubine Shu continued: "I thank the empress empress. I usually say that the empress empress is the most gentle and kind. For the concubine, I went out of my way to trouble you Mother Qin, my concubine is really..."

The eye circles were a little red as he said that, and then he gave the empress a big gift, and the empress hurriedly asked someone to help her: "Oh, what are you doing? The child in your belly, after birth, you have to call me the queen, bengong How could you not even be willing to do such a thing? If you continue to act like this, I will think that you don't think that I am gentle and kind."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a communication from outside, saying that the emperor had arrived.The queen hurriedly got up and walked outside the hall, halfway there, she saw a bright yellow figure coming in, the queen quickly led the crowd to salute: "I have met the emperor personally, please greet the emperor."

"Zitong, get up quickly." The emperor took two quick steps, stretched out his hand to support the queen, then glanced around, and said with a slight smile: "You all get up too, I heard you were lively before, but you are talking What good thing?"

While speaking, he pulled the queen up to the top, the queen's face was unusually shy, and let the emperor pull her to the front, the two sat in the first place above, and everyone saluted and sat down in their seats up.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Shu next to him, and asked with a little surprise: "What's wrong with Concubine Shu? But is there anything embarrassing? If there is, tell the queen."

This statement clearly shows that she trusts the queen very much.There is no doubt at all that it was the empress who wore the little shoes for Concubine Shu, no wonder Concubine Shu chose to show her favor to the empress.Chen Manrou lowered her head and scratched her clothes twice with her fingers. She is a person who values ​​rules, so that's fine.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is very happy." Concubine Shu quickly got up and said, covering her lips and smiling at the queen, and then said: "The empress has done me a great favor, and I am thanking the empress, your majesty, you are here. Could this be the tacit understanding?"

"You little hoof, what does this have to do with a heart-to-heart relationship?" The queen blushed slightly, and said something to Concubine Shu, who just smiled and didn't speak.The emperor was a little curious: "Oh, what did Zitong do for Concubine Shu?"

"Your Majesty, I'm planning to discuss it with the Emperor." The Empress said with a gentle smile, "Sister Concubine Shu is pregnant for the first time, so I'm afraid she doesn't have much experience. I wanted to find a nanny for me, so I recommended Nanny Qin. Nanny Qin is also an old man in the palace. I can't be more relieved to hand over my child to her."

As she said that, her tone was a bit deliberative: "The emperor wants to ask Mother Qin to take care of Concubine Shu for a while?"

The nanny of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was originally under the care of the queen.If the empress wanted to dispatch the nanny, all she had to do was give an order. However, Nanny Qin had a different status and had some friendship with the emperor, so the empress really didn't dare to dispatch her at will.

The emperor was holding tea, but after listening to the queen's words, he paused for a moment, glanced at the vacant space on the left, and asked casually, "Is Concubine Yang still in good health?"

"Your majesty, this woman has to be careful during the first three months of pregnancy. Since the concubine's body is not in good condition, I didn't force her to come here to pay her respects." The queen just pretended not to notice the emperor's intentions, anyway, she He didn't intend to tie the time bomb Yang Guifei to his side.Besides, Concubine Yang Guifei didn't say to ask someone to take care of her, so why should she rush to serve her?

"Since that's the case, did Concubine Shu temporarily stop paying her respects?" The emperor didn't force it, just glanced at Concubine Shu, and asked casually.Concubine Shu quickly refused: "The emperor is considerate, but the concubine is always in good health, so don't worry too much. The concubine is sitting in a chariot to and fro, and the empress is also kind. Please be safe and don't get in the way."

It's a light matter whether you can come to pay your respects, but the words must not come from the mouth of the emperor. This harem has always been the queen's world.

The queen is knowledgeable and interesting, and the emperor has said it out, so she can't fight against the emperor.So I followed the emperor's words: "After all, the child in the stomach is the most important thing. You only think about your own health, but you don't think about the child in the stomach. It's not that you're here, it's that I sincerely greet you."

"Thank you, Empress Empress." Concubine Shu did not refuse this time. After thinking about it, she said: "Since I can't come to pay my respects to Empress Empress, I will copy some Buddhist scriptures in the palace to pray for the emperor and empress empress. I am also a concubine. a lot of thought."

Chen Manrou was almost yawning out of boredom, and the scene between the Queen and Concubine Shu didn't feel tired either.In this harem, everyone speaks with masks on.Concubine Shu obviously wanted to use the Queen's power to protect herself, and the Queen didn't want to bring trouble on her body. The Tai Chi of the two was just right, but the sudden appearance of the Emperor abruptly changed it into a scene of sisterly love.

She was thinking about when the show of paying respects would end, when suddenly there was a very mournful cry from the entrance of the main hall: "Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master for my mother, she was murdered..."

The tone was twists and turns, and the hearts of those who yelled were swayed a few times. Chen Manrou quickly raised her head to look at the emperor, and saw the emperor frowned slightly, probably trying to distinguish whose voice it was.But the queen was very decisive: "Let someone come in!"

Immediately, a person stumbled in at the gate of the palace. Everyone knew him. It was Shiqing, the big maid beside Concubine Yang.In the past, the poetic sentiments were all of the same virtue as her master, always a bit condescending, like "You are all inferior people, so my master is a fairy and I am a fairy", unfortunately, a bit Huahu doesn't feel like an anti-dog, of course she doesn't have this awareness.

"Your majesty, please go and see my empress, she is very popular." As soon as Shi Qing came in, she didn't care about greeting the empress, she immediately threw herself at the emperor's feet and began to cry, "Someone wants to harm us!" Mistress, please ask the emperor to make decisions for our mistress."

She didn't ask the queen to make the decision, but she also classified the queen as a suspect. The queen's face, no matter how well-mannered she was, she couldn't laugh at the moment, she just stared at Shiqing, with an angry expression on her face: "Bitch! What is it?" What matter, you should hurry up and say it, you only said to let the emperor decide, but the emperor doesn't even know what happened!"

Shi Qing's body trembled for a while, which gave everyone an illusion that the queen might be the one who harmed Concubine Yang.The queen is also a smart person, and within a few breaths, she controlled the expression on her face, turned her head and said anxiously to the emperor: "Your Majesty, shall we call the imperial doctor first? This lowly maidservant can't even pass the message clearly." , I don’t know what happened to Concubine Yang at the moment.”
