The Life of the Concubine of the System

Chapter 44

"Empress Xiuyuan, is it okay to do this?" A familiar voice sounded, with embarrassment and fear in the words.

An Xiuyuan was combing her blue hair in front of the bronze mirror, her movements were gentle, when she heard Huang Ying's words behind her, she became angry from the bottom of her heart, and the ivory comb in her hand slammed onto the dressing table with a "click".

"Didn't this concubine say all the useless things, don't you understand what this concubine said?"

When Huang Ying heard An Xiuyuan's angry voice, she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down. The servants will follow your Majesty's orders."

Only then An Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction, and continued to pick up the ivory comb in front of the bronze mirror to comb her hair again.

The maid who was serving at the side saw it and complimented:

"Your Majesty's hair is so beautiful, it's black and shiny."

An Xiuyuan's appearance is ordinary, not as outstanding as that of her elder sister Concubine Shu, but her only bright spot is this black and beautiful black hair.She is usually very nervous about this hair, which is also the most precious hair. At this moment, she is naturally satisfied when she hears the maid beside her praise her hair. Although the smile is reserved and she doesn't say anything, the pride in her eyes is Can be seen.

"What's your name, this little mouth is really sweet."

Seeing this, the little maid who served did not realize that she had fallen into the eyes of Empress An Xiuyuan.He hurriedly reported his name.

"Slave Huang Hua."

An Xiuyuan really couldn't hold back the reserved smile at the corner of her mouth anymore, and smiled.

"My concubine happens to be short of a daughter from the palace, so you can take care of her. As for the name Huang Hua, I don't want it. I am used to being called Huang Oriole, so you can also be called Huang Oriole."

The name of the oriole was originally a dead person, so unlucky.But thinking like this, Huang Hua didn't dare to refute An Xiuyuan, after all, An Xiuyuan was the master, and she was just a little court lady.

Not only that, but also thank the master happily.

"Thank you, Empress Xiuyuan, for giving me the name, and thank you for your kindness. The slaves will definitely take good care of your empress."

On the other hand, Huang Ying felt chills in her heart.

She and Huang Li have served by Empress Xiuyuan since they were young, and grew up with Empress Xiuyuan.Empress Xiuyuan said she would give up, so she gave up. Last time, Huang Li and her obeyed her mother's orders and bit Yuegui's concubine in a show at Jinxiu Xuan.The empress said at the time that she would definitely keep the oriole safe.But now?Next to the empress, there appeared a big court lady named "Huang Li", but it was not the original one.She was really afraid that one day, she would end up like Huang Li before, abandoned by her mother, and then died without a place to bury her.

"Huang Ying, Huang Ying?!" An Xiuyuan turned around and saw that Huang Ying was in a daze, wondering what she was thinking, so she couldn't help raising her voice.

Huang Ying came to her senses, heard An Xiuyuan's voice was slightly angry, and hurriedly replied:

"What's the matter with your empress calling me a servant girl?"

An Xiuyuan's words were unpleasant: "What were you doing just now? What were you thinking?"

Huang Ying replied cautiously: "If you go back to your mother, the maidservant is thinking about what your mother ordered."

When An Xiuyuan heard Huang Ying say that she was thinking about what she ordered, she put down her anger.

"Remember what this concubine ordered, and do it in a more secretive way. And settle the matter of Huang Li, and tell her what she should and should not do."

Huang Ying responded one by one.

Xin Huangli, who also lowered her head, smiled at the corner of her mouth. She finally became a first-class court lady. Let's see who dares to laugh at herself in the future.

An Xiuyuan looked at the two maids in front of her who bowed their heads and kept answering her words, she couldn't help feeling a little proud, but more of a yearning for status.

Without status, if she can't move upward, she will only be able to bow down to others like the slave in front of her in the future.

An Xiuyuan rubbed her stomach, child, you must be upbeat, so that the mother and concubine can climb up better.

Yin Ruxue is also looking at the bronze mirror.

She looked at the blurred shadow in the mirror, and kept touching her cheek with her hands, as if she was reluctant to let go.

Cherry at the side looked at the movements of his concubine, and joked: "Could it be that Miss is reluctant to let go because of her natural beauty?"

Crescent Moon was placing Yin Ruxue's favorite snacks on the table, and when she heard Cherry's funny words, she burst out laughing.

Yin Ruxue saw that the maids in the room were all giggling, she turned around and pretended to be angry: "Teacher, what are you talking about? This concubine is about to get angry."

Cherry was not afraid, and smiled and bent over Ruxue to plead guilty: "My lady forgive me, my lady forgive me, Cherry knows I was wrong."

Yin Ruxue raised her chin: "It's good to know your mistakes, and those little girls who laughed at my concubine just now came to confess their mistakes to my concubine."

Everyone was laughing when they suddenly heard a majestic voice.

"My concubine Yuegui is so majestic."

It turned out that the emperor arrived, and now the laughing maids didn't dare to make trouble anymore, even the atmosphere in the inner room quickly settled down.

Yin Ruxue got up from the dressing table, and there was reproach in her words:
"Why is the emperor here?"

Emperor Yongye greeted Ruxue, put his hands on Ruxue's waist, and said with a smile:

"What? I'm taking a rest today, so I'll take time to see you and the baby."

Yin Ruxue acted like a baby: "Are you mainly here to see the baby? I'm just passing by, right?!"

Emperor Yongye said seriously: "Yes, I mainly came to see the baby."

Yin Ruxue was just acting like a baby, but now she heard Emperor Yongye's half-true answer, she really felt a little uncomfortable.He also turned his head away, showing a sullen look.

Emperor Yong Ye laughed loudly, and put his arms around the little woman who was having a fight: "Why are you still acting like a child. I'm going to be a mother concubine soon."

Yin Ruxue turned her head aggrieved. In fact, she was shocked in her heart just now, and her heart really felt sore just now.

"What? Are you still angry? You're jealous of your baby."

"Where is it? How can there be? Who says I'm jealous?" Without saying that there is no silver 300 taels here, he raised his voice.

"I am special only because this child is yours."

Emperor Yongye's voice suddenly became deep.

To be honest, this statement is true.Although Emperor Yongye valued his offspring, it cannot be denied that only the strong can survive in this palace.He doesn't pay too much attention to the pregnant concubine. In his opinion, a strong mother and concubine are also one of the decisive factors for the birth of a child.Concubine De is like this, and so is An Xiuyuan.He wasn't completely unaware of the Queen's secret movements.But he also knows that the women in the harem have their own methods, so he doesn't have to worry about them at all.Until the little woman in his arms broke his routine, but this time he was happy with it.

When Yin Ruxue heard Emperor Yong Ye's sudden "confession", she suddenly felt embarrassed.

Speaking awkwardly: "There are still so many people here. Your Majesty." The final sound is sweet, as if mixed with sugar.

Emperor Yong Ye felt that he was as sweet as eating a piece of candy. He didn't eat sweets often, but he didn't hate them either. He didn't think this feeling was bad.

"Where are others?"

It was only then that Yin Ruxue realized that the palace servants in this room had all retreated at some point.She was a little embarrassed, showing affection in public, and even drove away all the servants in the palace.

Emperor Yongye suddenly remembered what Ruxue said when he entered the inner room, and opened his mouth:

"What happened just now? Why is it so majestic?"

There was no sarcasm in his tone.

Only then did Yin Ruxue remember, and hurriedly moved her small face towards Emperor Yong Ye, and said in a worried tone: "Your Majesty, look, have I gained weight recently? Look, my face has become round." gone."

Yin Ruxue was very nervous about her appearance, pointing at her chin while looking nervously at Emperor Yong Ye.

Emperor Yongye also raised the beauty's chin with his hands in cooperation, and looked at it carefully.The touch of soft skin was felt at the beginning, Emperor Yong Ye's eyes darkened, and he said cooperatively: "I see, you are indeed fat."

Yin Ruxue was frustrated, what should I do?

In fact, she also knows that she is fat because she is pregnant, which is normal.But everyone has a love of beauty.

Emperor Yongye changed the subject: "Actually, it's better to be fatter. It's much more comfortable for me to hold. Moreover, only a healthy mother can have a healthy baby."

Ruxue is right when she thinks about it, the baby in her stomach is the most important thing now.

Emperor Yongye enjoyed the soft fragrance of Wen Yuruan in his arms, but in fact he only spoke half of what he said, he was not too fat, but just a little plump.Now she doesn't look as thin as before, but she also has a charm that she didn't have before, adding a touch of beauty to her whole person.

Zhaoyue Palace is full of warmth, but is it the same in other palaces?

In Fengzao Palace, two court ladies were kneeling beside the couch, beating the empress's legs.Jing Xin, the queen's most trusted palace maid, rubbed her forehead carefully. The queen has always suffered from headaches.It happened again recently.

This is Jingqing, another court lady next to the queen, also came in, holding the tranquilizing medicine prescribed by the imperial physician in her hand.

"Empress, the medicine is ready."

The empress was not in a hurry to drink the medicine, but instead started to talk: "It's time for a rest today."

All the court ladies answered yes.

"Where did the emperor go?"

Jingqing lowered her head and replied: "I am reporting to the empress, the emperor went to Zhaoyue Palace early this morning."

The empress didn't say anything about it, she just asked the maid to bring the medicine bowl to serve her to drink.

After the empress finished drinking the medicine, she accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl while putting it in.

The maid who served the empress with medicine hastily knelt down to plead guilty.

The empress didn't say anything to scold, but frowned slightly.However, after serving the empress for many years, Jingxin and Jingqing did not know that the reason for the frown of the empress was not the medicine bowl, but Yue Guifei from Zhaoyue Palace.

Time passed quickly.Yin Ruxue was pregnant for more than two months soon.At this time, the storm broke out again.

For some reason, more than a month after the news of Concubine Yue Gui's pregnancy came out, there was another rumor in the palace.Many eunuchs and court ladies are spreading the word that this Yuegui concubine is not really pregnant.There are rumors that there are noses and eyes, and some people say that they saw the maid beside Concubine Yue burning a piece of bloody clothes in a remote corner with their own eyes.

Rumors spread everywhere in the palace, and the strange thing was that the master above didn't seem to know about it, so the rumors intensified and became like a prairie fire.
