The Life of the Concubine of the System

Chapter 57

Ruxue's belly swelled up day by day like blowing up a balloon, but apart from her belly, her figure didn't change much.Ruxue's taste is also very changeable, she likes sour one at a time, she likes spicy food at another time, and she wants to eat sweet ones at another time.One day, when she was tossing about the cook in the small kitchen, an unexpected guest came suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Sister Jingxin is here by the empress's side."

"Meditation? What is she here for?" Ruxue put down the snack in her hand.

Yingying hurriedly replied: "Madam, sister Jingxin also brought a person, the servant looked at it from a distance, that person seems to be Mrs. Yun."

Yueya didn't speak, not because she didn't see Jingxin leading a person, but because she served this Concubine Yue after she entered the palace, and she never served Concubine Yue all the time like Cherry, so she didn't care about Concubine Yue at all. I didn't know Mrs. Yun, so I didn't talk too much.

"Madam Yun? Why is she here?" Ruxue didn't hide her displeasure in her words.

None of the servants serving in Zhaoyue Palace are human beings, so they can clearly see the emotions of their own mother, and at the same time understand their attitude towards Mrs. Yun.

"Let Jingxin come in." Ruxue pushed the dessert plate away.

"Tranquilly greet the concubine Yuegui, my lady, all blessings."

Meditate and salute well.

When Ruxue yelled, she also yelled unambiguously.

I'm afraid that Jing Xin already knew about this concubine Yue's temperament, so she didn't say any false words, and directly spoke clearly about her future intentions.

"Your concubine, the maidservant came here today at the order of the empress. Mrs. Yun wanted to ask to see your concubine, so she handed the sign to the empress's Fengzao Palace. The servant is leading Mrs. Yun to Zhaoyue Palace today. "

After a quiet pause, he continued:

"Madam Yun is waiting outside the palace right now."

Ruxue didn't say much, her tone was cold:
"Thank you, Empress."

Jing Xin really deserves to be someone who has been serving the Empress for a long time, and she didn't feel embarrassed seeing Concubine Yue Gui's indifferent appearance.Instead, he resigned with a calm smile, skillful movements, and a dignified and respectful posture.

After entering the inner hall in meditation, Mrs. Yun waited outside the hall alone.Mrs. Yun felt uneasy.Who can fathom this world, who would have known that such a humble concubine would make her, who had enjoyed the glory and wealth for half her life, bow her head.

When Mrs. Yun first heard that her daughter Xizhu was not selected, but that this concubine was in the eyes of the emperor, she felt very complicated in her heart. She loved her daughter and hated Ruxue.But more people still don't take it seriously, a concubine girl with a low status, how far can she go?Even if it is beautiful, the most indispensable thing in the palace is a beautiful woman.

However, the news that kept coming out of the palace later surprised her a little.

She was named a beauty at first, and then a noble concubine, with a title, and pregnant with Liujia...

This concubine's promotion in the palace made Mrs. Yun feel more and more uncomfortable. Similarly, compared with her own daughter's downfall, this concubine looked more and more glamorous, and her own daughter also seemed Even more pitiful.

It turned out that this Yun Shangshu, Yun Jing, knew that he had already had a daughter in the palace, so he did not give up the act of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.Thinking that they are all surnamed Yun anyway, Xizhu and Ruxue are sisters, so they send Xizhu to Prince Cheng's Mansion.

How could he know that Cheng Wang didn't give face, this person was sent to him, and he didn't refuse, he brought Xizhu into the mansion.But she is just a concubine with no name or distinction.The dignified Miss Shang Shufu's concubine actually became a concubine of Prince Cheng, which made her and her master lose face, and made her daughter a big laughing stock in Beijing.

Mrs. Yun naturally felt sorry for her daughter, but even though Shangshu Yun knew that he had made a wrong calculation this time, he still couldn't hold back.Only she has been struggling to find a way.In the end, there was really no other way, so I remembered that there was such a concubine in the Yunfu, who became a nobleman in the palace and favored the harem.

Finally, Mrs. Yun thought for a long time, and for the sake of her daughter Xizhu, she gritted her teeth and handed the sign to the empress.

Madam Yun was contemplating when she suddenly saw Jingxin who had brought her to Zhaoyue Palace come out from the inner hall.

"Mrs. Yun, the concubine Yuegui will summon you later. The servant girl will step down now." Jing Xin said to Mrs. Yun.

Mrs. Yun thanked Jing Xin, took out a brocade bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into Jing Xin's arms.

Jing Xin didn't make any excuses, took the brocade bag and left Zhaoyue Palace.

Madam Yun hadn't been outside the hall for long before someone came to summon her.

All the way, Mrs. Yun was thinking about what to say when she saw Concubine Yuegui, but when she really saw Concubine Yuegui sitting at the top, she suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.

The concubine Yuegui who sat above was dressed in exquisite palace attire and had a big belly. Although she didn't wear any makeup on her face, her face was still beautiful, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and curved lips.She was full of nobility, completely different from the disease-ridden, delicate and weak concubine she remembered.

Look at the furnishings in the inner hall of Zhaoyue Palace, the rosewood seats, the exquisitely embroidered cushions, the paintings of everyone kneeling on the wall, and the tributes placed everywhere...all of them are exquisite and precious.

Judging from all this, this concubine Yue is indeed the most favored in the harem as the rumors say.

"Why is Mrs. Yun asking to see my concubine?" Ruxue looked at Mrs. Yun below.

Mrs. Yun didn't get along with this concubine Yue Gui for a long time, at most, she met a few times before she entered the palace, when she was just taken back to Shangshu's mansion by Yun Shangshu.Therefore, Mrs. Yun is not sure what kind of temper this concubine Yuegui who sits on it and looks expressionless is. Besides, she used to be the aunt's mother, and this concubine Yuegui is just a concubine who has just been removed from the "Zhuangzi" by her master. It's just the concubine she picked up from above, she doesn't need to observe her temperament at all.

Mrs. Yun followed the usual routine between officials and wives.

"How is the concubine Yuegui recently? Both the master and the minister's wife are very concerned about the empress's body recently."

"En." Ruxue's tone was cold.

Mrs. Yun continued her efforts: "Your Majesty is pregnant with Liujia, it must be very hard work."

Ruxue was a little impatient, it was really troublesome when she went around in circles before she could get to the point.Ruxue thought so in her heart, and it naturally showed on her face.

Mrs. Yun was still complimenting Ruxue for being favored in a roundabout way, but she didn't notice that the expression on Concubine Yuegui's face who was sitting on top was getting more and more impatient.

Cherry has always cared about her mother's emotions the most, seeing her impatient and indifferent expression on her face, she made a sound.

"Ma'am, are you tired? You didn't sleep well last night, and you said you should take a good rest during the day today."

Mrs. Yun was startled when she heard this, and looked up again, only to find that the concubine Yuegui who was sitting above had a rather unpleasant expression on her face.Quickly apologize:

"Your Majesty, forgive me, and my wife asks for help."

At last the words came out, Ruxue sighed in her heart.

"Madam Yun, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, your younger sister Xizhu has entered Prince Cheng's Mansion, and the master and minister's wife..."

Mrs. Yun did not say that Shangshu Yun sent her daughter to Prince Cheng's mansion in order to climb the dragon and become a phoenix, but she said that her daughter was ignorant and adored Prince Cheng, and the youngest daughter insisted on arguing to marry Prince Cheng because of her worries. Shangshu Yun and her He couldn't hold back her, so he mentioned this matter to Prince Cheng.But unexpectedly, Prince Cheng did not marry Xi Zhu as his wife, not even a concubine, only a concubine.

"As a mother, I love my daughter dearly. I have no choice but to come to you, Concubine Yuegui, for help. Madam, you are deeply favored by the emperor now. You will not let your sister suffer. Besides, , your sister-in-law has only been a prince’s concubine, if you tell her, soon your status will be demoted for no reason?”

Mrs. Yun's previous words can still make people feel the loving mother's heart, but at the end of the sentence, Ruxue's taste is getting worse and worse.Mrs. Yun's words became more and more awkward the more she heard them. This was not a threat to her: If you don't help your sister-in-law Yun Xizhu get a title, then your concubine Yuegui's reputation will not be much worse.

Ruxue was not happy, so she naturally put her expression on the bright side.

After Madam Yun said these words, she actually felt a little uneasy.In fact, with her temperament and strategy, she still can't say these words, and these words were also taught to her by Yun Shangshu when she was discussing with her master whether to come to find this concubine Yue.

Madam Yun is not a stupid person, and she also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall.She was angry and anxious, but this is the palace after all, so she couldn't lose her temper directly.

Ruxue remained silent for a long time, she didn't put down the cup in her hand until she had a cup of tea, and said something to see off the guests.

Then, regardless of Madam Yun's reaction, she went straight into the inner room.

"Madam Yun, please." The little eunuch stopped Madam Yun who wanted to say something to Concubine Yue.

Mrs. Yun had no choice but to leave angrily.

"Madam, don't you think Mrs. Yun is too hateful. The matter of Miss Xizhu has nothing to do with you. It seems that if you don't help Miss Xizhu, even your reputation will be bad. "Cherry spoke quickly.

Yueya thought about it from another perspective: "Your Majesty, I feel that Madam Yun's words are right from another perspective. The matter of Miss Xizhu may really affect your empress."

Ruxue didn't speak, but her eyes lit up.

"Mother, what's the matter? What did concubine Yuegui say, did she say she would help her daughter?" Madam Yun was entangled by her own daughter as soon as she returned to Yunfu, asking all kinds of questions.

It turned out that Xizhu came back from Prince Cheng's mansion today.

Mrs. Yun's complexion was not good, but she smiled when she saw her daughter whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Xizhu, you seem to have lost weight, can mother ask someone to make chicken soup for you?"

Yun Xizhu didn't answer this question, but asked persistently what she just said.
