Chapter 137

At three months, Chu Yan's belly got a little bigger, but it was only slightly protruding, and it was not obvious if she wore looser clothes.

The concubines came to pay their respects every day according to the rules, only Chongzheng would ask for leave occasionally because of his poor health.

Shen Xin said with a smile: "About being poisoned last time, her body has always been weak. I hope the Empress will not blame her. She can't help herself. It's just that the murderer hasn't disappeared until now, and it's really shocking." Some are not worth it for her."

Chu Yan said indifferently: "Shen Ronghua is saying that I have neglected the harem so much that I still allow the murderer to get away with it?"

Shen Xin has not been liked by her these days, and now she is thick-skinned, no longer afraid of her as before, and said with a smile: "The empress is overhearted, the concubine is just fighting for Chong Wanyi's injustice. Who the hell would be so cruel to harm such a delicate girl? The empress is pregnant now, and my concubine would not dare to worry about you with these things. Fortunately, Chong Wanyi is fine now, the murderer... ...It doesn't matter whether you catch her or not, anyway, Chong Wanyi's illness will not change just because of the murderer."

Indulging her for so long was only because Chu Yan was too lazy to argue with her. It seemed that she really thought that the empress was rather useless and didn't dare to argue with her.

Chu Yan smiled: "I understand Shen Ronghua's words. You mean that I am pregnant, so I only care about raising my own body, and don't care about other people's lives, right?"

Seeing her smile, Shen Xin also smiled coquettishly: "Concubine doesn't mean that, Empress Empress—"

"What does that mean?" Chu Yan's smile suddenly faded, and she slapped the table heavily, "Shen Ronghua is not a coward, he just hurts the palace secretly, but he still dares to smile in Yong'an Palace, in front of his eyes. With the faces of so many concubines, you really don't pay attention to this empress, Bengong!"

Shen Xin's face turned pale, she didn't expect Chu Yan's face to change suddenly.

"Shen Ronghua, as a high-ranking concubine, indulged herself to lose her appearance again and again, which is really a pain in my heart. Since you also said that I have neglected the management of the harem, I will let you take care of it today!" Chu Yan said coldly Said, "Come here, take Shen Ronghua down and slap your mouth!"

Shen Xin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Empress, concubine doesn't mean that at all, you misunderstood concubine! Concubine is wronged!"

She kept saying that she was wronged, but she still stood there straight, not begging for mercy at all, as if she had predicted that Chu Yan would not dare to do anything to her.

That's right, Chu Yan really didn't do anything to her in the past two months. If she hadn't gained courage, she probably wouldn't have said such a thing today.

Chu Yan looked up at her unhurriedly: "I misunderstood?"

Shen Xin didn't speak.

"You are the one who is speaking, and I am the one who is listening. If I got it wrong..." Chu Yan seemed to think for a moment, and then glanced at the people present, "Then tell me, it's me Misunderstood, or did Shen Ronghua originally mean that?"

Shen Xin's face turned pale, and he had already expected that everyone would not go against the queen's intentions for himself.

But the fact is that as expected, everyone kept silent, no one was so brave and fearless to offend the queen for her sake.

Chu Yan smiled slightly: "It seems that everyone is the same as Ben Gong, I don't think Shen Ronghua is joking."

She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then said flatly, "What are you still doing? Take him down."

Shen Xin finally panicked, and kept shouting while being pulled out: "The concubine is wronged!"

The voice stopped abruptly at the end, apparently gagged by the nanny below, so as not to pollute the nobleman's ears with this voice.

Chu Yan glanced at the crowd with a smile: "Try the tea here in the palace. This is a new tea from the West Lake this year. It is the emperor's favorite drink when he is in the palace."

Everyone also smiled tacitly, and took a sip of tea one after another.

Chen Xi smiled and praised: "It really is a good tea. It is fragrant and fragrant in the mouth, and the tea has a long-lasting taste. After drinking it, I only feel the fragrance on my lips and teeth."

Yun Su smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Sister Xi is also a person who understands tea. My sister is so envious."

She smiled charmingly and beautifully, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her gaze was shining brightly.

Chen Xi's expression became a little stiff all of a sudden, he looked up at Yun Su, but didn't speak.

Chu Yan smiled without saying a word, glanced at Yun Su, then at Chen Xi, but no one helped.Chen Xi is used to being calm, speaking decently and generously, never going against her will, this kind of person will live the longest and most secure life in the palace.

As for Yun Su...God knows if she is really kind or naive, she seems to speak without thinking, and the words now seem to be satirizing Chen Xi, a backwater person who pretends to understand.

In the afternoon, an uninvited visitor came to Yong'an Palace. Of course, Chu Yan had expected it long ago. She made such a big move against Shen Xin. Of course, the Empress Dowager couldn't hold back the enthusiasm and excitement in her heart.

Let's say that after Shen Xin was slapped, she went to Shouyan Palace with her red and swollen pig's head on her head. When she saw the Empress Dowager, she couldn't help crying and knelt down, crying "I beg you, old man, to be the master for me" , while taking out a handkerchief to carefully wipe away tears.

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and said something Shen Xin would never forget: "This is..."

Shen Xin wished he could just faint and never wake up again.

Of course, she didn't faint, otherwise the Empress Dowager wouldn't rush to Chu Yan to sing such a play.

The old man stepped into the hall angrily, seeing Chu Yan, who was fanning the fan leisurely and leisurely, was furious, but she was an old man in the palace after all, so she wouldn't be indiscriminate against the queen After scolding, I just squinted my eyes and said calmly: "The queen is living a very comfortable life."

Chu Yan gave her a slightly apologetic look: "Grandmother, I'm really sorry, my daughter-in-law is ill today and feels a little unwell, so I can't get up to salute you. I hope you don't mind."

The expression was done enough, but it's a pity that her tone was too leisurely, revealing her leisurely self-satisfaction.

There is a piece of meat in the stomach, which really corresponds to the song in the 21st century - only mothers are good in the world, and mothers with babies are like treasures.

When the Empress Dowager saw her appearance, she became even more angry, and immediately smiled coldly: "Since the Empress is unwell, this ceremony will be waived, but I don't know what day it is, you are not the only one in the harem who is unwell. I Seeing that Shen Ronghua in the Jingxin Pavilion seems to be in more pain than the queen, looking at that flowery face, people who don't know would think that they have offended some villain and overlord, and they are able to deal with that kind of cruelty."

These words are hurting people both openly and secretly.

Chu Yan smiled unhurriedly: "Ah, what a coincidence, I am the villain and overlord that the imperial grandmother said, but I really owed a lesson by looking at Shen Ronghua's mouth, which has been provoking me for the past two months." I wonder if there is someone behind her for the authority of the queen, otherwise how could she have such courage in such a small Ronghua? How dare she embarrass me in front of a concubine? Tell me, how do you deal with such an arrogant concubine?"

"The Ai family is getting old, and the harem is no longer under the control of the Ai family, so what dare the Ai family say?" The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Yan coldly, "Since the empress has taken this seat, it stands to reason that she is the master of the harem. There are some things that Aijia shouldn't bother with, but you are still too young after all, and some things may not be clear enough. As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. There are many people in this palace who are much older than you Yes, some things are best to ask for advice, don't offend everyone, then it will be difficult to move, and it will be too late to cry."

Chu Yan nodded with a smile, as if she couldn't understand what she meant: "Grandmother is right, I am the master of the harem, so naturally I should pay more attention to these things. If I sit on this seat and close my eyes and listen, look I don’t see who is about to move around in the harem, who stretches his hand too long, so what kind of harem master is he? I will keep in mind the teachings of the emperor’s grandmother, and I will clearly distinguish who is the master and who is the slave in the palace. Chu, there is absolutely no mistake."

"The empress means that the Ai family can't be a slave?" The empress dowager finally got angry, looking at the person pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Ah, look at what the imperial grandmother said, how dare the granddaughter-in-law mean that? You are an old man, an ancestor respected by everyone in this palace, so naturally you should enjoy your family in Shouyan Palace and live a leisurely and relaxed life." , I respect you before it's too late, how dare I disrespect you?" Chu Yanqiao said with a smile, "It's really hard for you to come here to educate me, a junior, in this hot weather, Hanzhi, go and pour the money for the empress dowager! Here comes a glass of frozen white fungus soup."

The empress dowager was so angry at her sarcasm, she finally said coldly: "Does the empress think it is safe to sit in this seat? Ai Jia advises you not to be too calm, the most unreliable person in the world It’s a man, who can push you to this position today, and pull you down in the same way in the future. Isn’t Queen Mother Dou a lesson from the past? Aijia advises you to take care of yourself and don’t suffer the consequences!”

She left in a flick of her sleeves, and Chu Yan said with a smile on her back: "Grandmother, go slowly, granddaughter-in-law is unwell and cannot get up to see her off, I hope you will bear with me."

The empress dowager outside the door was so upset that she almost fell into a shit.

This, this... This woman is really hateful!
