Harem for a living

Chapter 51

"Your Majesty, I just heard some movement in Jingren Palace." Wei Le sneaked in, first bowed to Chen Manrou, and then leaned over and whispered: "My servant inquired, and said that Ma Jieyu just activated it."

"Activated? How many months is this?" Chen Manrou squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then said to Yue: "Exactly ten months, do you want to go and have a look?"

Chen Manrou turned her head to look amusedly: "Is there any movement from the Queen's side?"

"The Empress has already passed away. When the slaves came back, they saw that the chariot of Concubine Shu had also passed." Wei Le hurriedly said, Chen Manrou stood up, and shouted to Jinhuan: "Go and tell the chariot to get ready, I will change clothes , let's go there in a while."

Dui Yue naturally followed Chen Manrou into the house, helped her change her clothes, and followed her out to Jingren Palace.

The lord of Jingren Palace is Concubine Yang. Chen Manrou first went to pay her respects to Concubine Yang when she entered, and then she saw that the queen was already sitting on the throne, so she hurried over to salute and say hello: "I have seen the empress, give it to the empress." Please."

After the queen called out, I greeted Concubine Yang on the side.She and Concubine Shu are considered equal now, so just a half salute is enough.Not long after, Concubine De and the others also came over one by one.

Concubine Liu spoke quickly, and asked as soon as she sat down, "How long has Ma Jieyu been in? Did the imperial doctor say anything?"

The queen glanced at her and said: "It's been more than half an hour, and now Po Wen is inside." Just as she was talking, she heard the report that the imperial doctor had come, and the queen asked the maid to bring the imperial doctor to come first Go to the side hall and wait. When a woman in the harem gives birth, the role of the imperial physician is to keep the child in difficult labor, so there is no need for the imperial physician to play at this moment.

Not long after, intermittent screams began to come from the East Side Hall.

Concubine Shu listened for a while, then shook her head disapprovingly: "Ma Jieyu yelled too loudly, if you go to the back, if you run out of strength..."

"Ma Jieyu is giving birth to a baby for the first time, I'm afraid it's because she's scared, so she yelled more evil." Concubine Yang glanced at Concubine Shu, and explained slowly, Concubine Liu continued with a smile: "The imperial concubine's words are biased. Sister Concubine Shu gave birth to the second prince before, isn't it also the first child? Sister Concubine Shu didn't scream so loudly, and the baby was born very smoothly."

"Empress, my concubine would like to ask, which elder sister will Ma Jieyu's child be born with?" Concubine De didn't get involved in the open and hidden attacks of Concubine Yang, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Liu. Looking sideways at the empress, she asked.

The queen frowned slightly, while Concubine Hu smiled and said, "Sister De Concubine, isn't it too early to worry? The child hasn't been born yet, so I have to wait for Ma Jieyu to take a look at the child before we can talk about it. "

Chen Manrou bowed her head and pretended to be a dead person. Han Meiren and the others didn't have enough status, so naturally she didn't participate in this kind of topic.Several women chattered and chattered for a while. Seeing that an hour had passed, the lady Wen came out and said that it would be a long time. The queen immediately stood up and said, "I still have things to deal with, Concubine Yang, I'll leave it to you here." Here you go."

Concubine Yang got up and saluted Concubine Yang, and when the Empress left, Concubine Shu also got up and saluted Concubine Yang: "My Lady, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell the Second Prince's nanny to let her breastfeed, so I want to leave first."

"Go." Yang Guifei looked at Concubine Shu with an unclear expression, and waved her to leave.

Then Chen Manrou also found an excuse to go back. Anyway, this child is not her turn, and she does not want this child, so it is really boring to wait here.Not long after she came out, she saw Concubine De's chariot also coming out.

Until the evening, Ma Jieyu did not give birth to a child.Before going to bed, Chen Manrou confessed to Jinhuan: "You let people keep an eye on Jingren Palace, and tell me the news tomorrow."

"Ma'am, Ma Jieyu gave birth." Jinhuan was very conscientious, and the next day when Chen Manrou woke up, she hurried over to report: "Not long after you fell asleep, Ma Jieyu gave birth to a little princess. Hehe, Yang Guifei will be disappointed this time."

"Why is she disappointed? Even if she is a little prince, she can't adopt it." Chen Manrou sneered, and she didn't feel very lucky or gloated in her heart. No matter what happened to Ma Jieyu this time, since the queen didn't tell her last time Promotion, this time probably won't be mentioned.

If it was a little princess, maybe Ma Jieyu would be happier. The princess doesn't care if the prince can't be with her.

"Let's go, let's go greet the empress." After dressing up, Chen Manrou said with a smile, helped Jinhuan out, and was just about to get on the chariot when she heard a shout from behind: "Empress Hui, this is going Greetings to the empress, please?"

"It turned out to be Concubine Cheng. Isn't Concubine Cheng also going to pay her respects to the Empress?" Chen Manrou glanced back, turned around and got on the chariot without stopping.Concubine Cheng signaled to the servant who carried the sedan chair to step up a bit, and was half a meter behind Chen Manrou's sedan chair.

"Concubine Hui, did you know that Ma Jieyu gave birth to a little princess yesterday?" Concubine Cheng asked with a smile. Chen Manrou yawned and didn't answer. I guess Concubine Cheng didn't expect her to answer and continued to smile. Said: "Is Concubine Hui going to see the little princess later? I heard that the little princess is very beautiful."

"Well, let's talk about it later." Chen Manrou answered slowly, where can a newborn child see?You must think that the little princess is beautiful because Concubine Yang Guifei can no longer adopt a little prince.

However, thinking of this, Chen Manrou was a little puzzled, didn't it mean that Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yang have reconciled?A few days ago, Concubine Liu also said that Concubine Cheng and Concubine Yang had become very close again, why now it seems that this is not the case?
Concubine Cheng didn't know what Chen Manrou was thinking, and she continued to chatter along the way, from Ma Jieyu's little princess to Shu Concubine's little prince, and Han Meiren seemed to have danced for the emperor a few days ago, and the emperor liked it very much. He stayed with Han Meiren for three days in a row.

"Concubine Cheng, it's not for us to ask where the emperor is." Seeing that she was about to arrive at Yongshou Palace, Chen Manrou turned her head and said expressionlessly.Concubine Cheng originally had an angry expression on her face, but seeing Chen Manrou's expression now, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he smiled embarrassingly: "Don't I think Han Meiren is too self-indulgent?"

Chen Manrou glanced at her, closed her eyes and rested.Seeing that Chen Manrou ignored her, Concubine Cheng curled her lips and closed her mouth.

The two entered the Yongshou Palace one after the other, and saw Concubine Liu and Concubine Hu, Wang Xiuyi and Han Meiren had already arrived, so the two hurried forward to salute.The queen waved her hand casually, and said to Chen Manrou: "The imperial decree for you and Concubine Hu will be issued today, and the canonization ceremony will be on August [-]th. You two should prepare by yourself."

"Thank you, Queen, for your reminder." Chen Manrou hurriedly saluted Concubine Hu, while Concubine Liu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Concubine Hui and sister Concubine Hu."

"Sister Liu Concubine, what you said is so true." Chen Manrou pouted, took the first seat on Liu Concubine's table, and said sincerely: "Didn't we match each other as sisters before? You have a new sister. Don’t want me to be an old sister?”

"Where is it?" Concubine Liu gave her a white look, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a congratulations first? We have to go through the rules first, and how we sisters get along with each other next, can't we be free?"

"Concubine Hui and Concubine Liu are really sisters, we are so envious when we see it." Concubine De said unhurriedly, Chen Manrou turned her head to look at her, and saw the sincere smile on her face. Very soon, Chen Manrou couldn't help crying in her heart, now it's all over, Zhang Wanting has become a qualified concubine, and she has to raise her vigilance again.

"If Concubine De is envious, she can be worthy of our sisters." Chen Manrou whipped the villain named Zhang Wanting in her heart, while smiling more sincerely than Zhang Wanting.

Just as he was talking, Concubine Yang Gui and Concubine Shu came in one after the other.After the two had greeted her, the queen took a sip of tea and said, "Ma Jieyu gave birth to a little princess last night. According to the ranking, she will be the second princess. The emperor understands that Ma Jieyu is having a hard time giving birth, so he gave special permission to Ma Jieyu to give birth to her." Raise the little princess in Jingren Palace, and let Yang Guifei and Ma Jieyu take care of it together, what do you guys have to say?"

"The emperor and the empress have always considered the overall situation, and the decisions they make must be the best. I have nothing to say." Concubine Shu said first, and Chen Manrou just nodded. Concubine Yang is dispensable, so also No objection.

The queen saw that everyone had nothing else to say, so she talked about Chen Manrou's canonization by Concubine Hu. Concubine Shu glanced at Chen Manrou inexplicably: "Sister Hui Concubine is a lucky one. When the time comes, sister will ask for a glass of wine." Come to celebrate."

"If Sister Concubine Shu comes, let alone a glass of wine, there are ten glasses." Chen Manrou said with a blushing smile, she was quite happy to see her, but she turned her head to see Concubine Hu looking down at the embroidery on her dress, and hurriedly poured out the trouble. Cited to Concubine Hu: "Sister Concubine Shu, don't just tease me, Sister Concubine Hu also wants to congratulate."

"Sister Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui, don't make fun of my sister. There is no good wine there. However, if the two sisters don't dislike it, the sister brewed plum wine by herself last winter. You can ask the two sisters to discuss and taste it. gone."

Concubine Hu hurriedly said with a smile, her pretty face was stained a little pink, making her eyebrows even more picturesque.She also speaks in a gentle and gentle way, as if she had a slow, gentle and considerate tone except for the concubine Cheng's rebuttal when she first entered the palace. Arguing or something.

"Only Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui have wine?" Concubine De raised her eyebrows and smiled, and Concubine Hu hurriedly said with a smile: "Where, Sister De Concubine also has it. If the Empress and Concubine Gui do not dislike it, I will wait a while Just send some over there.”

The queen nodded, and said calmly: "You have a heart."

Concubine Yang Gui snorted directly: "No need, I don't like plum blossom wine and the like, you can keep it for yourself."
