Harem for a living

Chapter 44

Ma Jieyu now lives with Wang Jieyu and Ding Jieyu in the side hall of Xianfu Palace. Xianfu Palace does not have a lord.But now that Ma Jieyu is pregnant, she has to be taken care of by a leading concubine.But the high-ranking concubines already have their own palaces, and there is no need for a concubine to move for a Jieyu, so Ma Jieyu can only move to the palace.

When the queen's words fell, Concubine Shu laughed and said, "I don't know which palace Ma Jieyu is going to move to?"

"I need you guys to discuss this matter, and see who is convenient to take care of it." The queen glanced over them, and said with a little deep meaning: "Ma Jieyu is pregnant with the emperor's heir, no matter who she goes to, she will take care of her." You have to take good care of it.”

Chen Manrou thought over the queen's words several times, and only said that Ma Jieyu was pregnant with the emperor's heir, so the lord of the first palace should not neglect her, but she didn't say that this child will be raised by the lord of the first palace. It seems that the child's whereabouts have not yet been decided.

In other words, you took the responsibility of taking care of the pregnant woman, but the child in the pregnant woman's womb does not necessarily belong to you. This business is really a bit of a loss.It wasn't just Chen Manrou who figured out the meaning, Concubine Shu immediately laughed and said, "I want to share the empress's worries, but my body has become bulky, I'm afraid I will neglect Ma Jieyu."

"Concubine Shu's words are wrong. Taking care of Ma Jieyu is the job of the palace people. You just need to use your words to prevent Ma Jieyu from being plotted against. You are not asked to serve Ma Jieyu personally. You Is there any hindrance if you are bulky or not? You can even come here every day to ask for peace, so maybe you don’t even have the energy to say a word.”

Yang Guifei looked at Concubine Shu with a half-smile and said, the child is a treasure, and Fang Zi who gave birth to the child is also a treasure, but the child's mother is a hot potato.Who can be sure that this child will be born safely?

Even Concubine Yang Guifei failed to keep her own child. Ma Jieyu is a small fifth-rank concubine. There are not a few people who are jealous of her pregnancy. It is not uncommon for concubines who want to take action against her. Neither want to take risks.

Concubine Yang didn't want to make Ma Jieyu angry, and continued: "Besides, Concubine Shu is pregnant with a child, so Concubine Shu must have taken good care of the Yikun Palace, which is suitable for pregnant women to stay in, but it's just an extra day." Opening her mouth to eat, could it be that Concubine Shu is so stingy that she doesn't even want to scold her for a bite of food? Ah, I almost forgot that Ma Jieyu also has her own rules, and she doesn't even need a bite of food from Concubine Shu."

Ma Jieyu's reaction was not slow, as soon as Concubine Yang Guifei finished speaking, she immediately came to her senses.Since Concubine Shu is pregnant, her Yikun Palace must be taken care of like an iron bucket, and there are absolutely no ghosts and ghosts.

"Concubine Shu is gentle and charitable. If my concubine goes to Concubine Shu's Yikun Palace, I think she will be able to take better care of the fetus in her womb." Ma Jieyu smiled and got up, intending to salute Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and she clutched her stomach and let out an ouch. The maid behind her hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong?"

Even the queen above looked at Concubine Shu with concern and asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Shu? If you're not feeling well, you'd better go back as soon as possible. The Royal Doctor Xuan of the Palace came to your Yikun Palace. You are pregnant now." If you are holding a child, there must be no mistake."

It took a long time for Concubine Shu to slow down, she waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, it's just that the child is naughty, and it's already started to move." After a pause in my stomach, I smiled and shook my head and said, "Empress, it's not that this concubine can't provide Ma Jieyu with a meal, but the empress also knows that pregnant people are most afraid of being frightened."

The queen's eyes flickered, and she replied with a smile: "That's true, if you don't pay attention, the child in this belly will be in danger."

"The concubine's body is due to give birth in half a year. At that time, Ma Jieyu's child was only seven or eight months old. This woman gave birth, but the blood was heavy. What if Ma Jieyu is shocked by that time?" Shu The concubine continued to speak softly, glanced at Ma Jieyu, and asked again: "Is it possible that Ma Jieyu will move to the palace again at that time? It's just that the birth of a child is said to be ten months, the exact time can be said No, if it happens to happen, then Ma Jieyu will be shocked, but who should be responsible?"

After speaking, she turned her head and said to Concubine Yang: "The concubine is very kind, but Ma Jieyu will be frightened and have a difficult delivery. This little prince must be kept. After all, he is the heir of the emperor, but this lord..."

Ma Jieyu's face immediately turned pale, but Concubine Yang's face remained unchanged, the nails on the fingers holding the handkerchief suddenly turned pale.Relying on her excellent eyesight in her life, Chen Manrou saw the anger in Concubine Yang's eyes clearly by the way.

"Since Concubine Shu is inconvenient here, I will not bother you." Ma Jieyu said quickly. Concubine Yang glanced at Chen Manrou's eyes. Concubine is inconvenient, concubine sees, Concubine Chen is not bad either."

"Me? I can't." Chen Manrou hurriedly waved her hand and refused directly. She was not like Concubine Shu, who could find a perfect excuse.Anyway, she is not very old, so she used this to say: "I am still young, just now Sister Defei said that my movements are too erratic. Wouldn't it be a great crime to bump into Lady Jieyu?"

Concubine Yang Guifei was about to speak, when Chen Manrou continued: "You can't say that I won't be allowed to do those things, I'm growing tall, if I don't move, I won't grow taller in the future." Saying that, she looked at the empress above happily: " Empress, I was about to tell you about this, I have grown taller now, can empress let me get some more fabric?"

As he spoke, he even pulled up his sleeves for the queen to see, the sleeves were really short, although he couldn't tell if he didn't look carefully.

"Well, I'll ask someone to reward you with more fabric later." The queen nodded with a smile, looked at Yang Guifei again, and said with a little reproach: "Concubine Chen is young, you let Ma Jieyu go, what is it?" Who takes care of whom?"

Concubine Yang has been arrogant in front of the queen for many years, but this time she was ashamed, her face turned blue when she was almost angry, but fortunately her skills were deep enough, she smiled in an instant: "Just now, I saw Concubine Chen's expectant face, I thought Sister Concubine Chen is willing to take care of Ma Jieyu."

These words immediately gave Chen Manrou a lot of hatred. Everyone is trying to reject this matter. Are you looking forward to watching a good show?Still want to see who is unlucky?
"Your concubine, you are amazing. I can't even tell what the expressions on other people's faces mean, I can only tell whether everyone is laughing or crying." Chen Manrou looked at Concubine Yang with admiration: "You were just laughing just now. , I can see it for sure.”

Concubine Yang was choked, the queen above raised her mouth, and said slowly: "Concubine Yang is so enthusiastic today, don't you really want to take care of Ma Jieyu? I remember that Concubine Yang just lost a child a while ago, right? Jieyu is pregnant with the child in time, why not Ma Jieyu go to Jingren Palace, even for the sake of the child, Concubine Yang Gui will definitely treat you sincerely."

Concubine Yang opened her mouth to speak, but the queen didn't give her this chance: "Concubine Yang, there is no need to refuse, you have always been kind, and this palace is sympathetic to the fact that you just lost a child, so I sent Ma Jieyu to you. Don't let me down."

Concubine Yang turned her eyes, and immediately covered her chest and said: "I thank the empress for her compassion, but my body is not up to snuff. Ever since I lost my child, I always feel a little uncomfortable. Ma Jieyu's belly is the queen's heart." Si, in case the concubine gets sick..."

"Is this not easy?" The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Ma Jieyu lives in the side hall, which is quite a distance from your main hall. Since you are worried that she will be sick, don't let her go and serve her." Forget it, just let her stay in the side hall to raise her baby."

Concubine Yang still wanted to speak, but the queen frowned slightly, slightly displeased: "Why, Concubine Yang is dissatisfied with this Palace's decision?"

Even if Concubine Yang Gui is very favored, she can even be late once or twice when paying her respects, and embarrass the queen when she speaks. When the queen uses this tone, she still dare not refute, and she still has to thank the queen for her kindness , I had no choice but to stand up reluctantly and thank you: "I dare not, thank you Queen for your understanding."

"You have to keep your duty and know what to do and what not to do." The queen looked at Yang Guifei and said, then turned her attention to Ma Jieyu: "You can move to the palace when you go back today. Since you are pregnant Body, let’s add one more court lady by my side, and I’ll let the servants’ room send people over when I turn back.”

Ma Jieyu thanked Concubine Yang quickly, and then went to tell Concubine Yang Guifei to take care of her. Chen Manrou listened impatiently, and suddenly thought of Concubine Cheng's visit to her Zhongcui Palace yesterday. Turning her head, Concubine Cheng was dissatisfied Look at Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu didn't pay attention to Concubine Cheng, she just turned the bracelet on her wrist with a smile, noticed Chen Manrou's gaze, turned her head and smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Chen is looking at me? Could it be that there is something on my face?"

"No, I just saw that Sister Concubine Liu seems to be wearing new jewelry today." Chen Manrou said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, the bees on it are just like real ones."

"You said this, it's not new." Concubine Liu touched the hairpin, and said with a smile: "It was given by the empress in the early years. I like it very much and have always treasured it." Just put it away, and only take it out now."

"Oh." Chen Manrou suddenly realized, and murmured something to Concubine Liu about the beauty of hairpins, and waited until the queen got impatient and announced that they were disbanding, then she got up and went back to Zhongcui Palace.

Not long after, the queen sent someone to send cloth, a batch of tender pink, a batch of tender yellow, and a batch of tender blue, all of which were very delicate and lovely.

Chen Manrou drew two clothes patterns by herself, and got together with Jinhuan and Duoyue to start sewing the clothes.A woman can never have too many clothes, especially when she is tall.

It will be the emperor's birthday soon, if there are no accidents, what happened last time should have a result.
