Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 15

Haitang knew that Concubine De's words were against her will.

There used to be a concubine and three wives in Prince Mu's mansion, and one of them died of illness last year. Concubine De wanted to get one of her nieces to be her side concubine.Unexpectedly, there are quite a few people coveting this position.

First, Concubine Lin Gui went to chat with the emperor, saying that there was a girl in her elder brother's Yue family who was so beautiful that ordinary people looked down on her and wanted to marry a royal relative.

Emperor Zhengheng couldn't stand Concubine Lin's winking eyes the most, so he naturally agreed and went to give the queen instructions.

The queen didn't say much, and immediately started to make arrangements.However, people have plucked their feathers, and coming to her is the icing on the cake, adding another person.

It was Xiao Shishi who led the way for Concubine Lin Gui.What the queen added was Cui Haitang.

In good conscience, the Cui family does not have a deep relationship with the queen.It has only been a few months since Cui Guozhen went to Beijing to work in the Imperial Academy, and before he could figure out the way, his precious daughter was somehow sent to the back house of His Royal Highness Mu Wang.

The queen did a good job.

Cui Haitang is very good at both appearance and character, as well as knowledge and family background. Moreover, Kegui has stayed in Cui's family in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and has absolutely nothing to do with the dignitaries in the capital.

In fact, apart from going to the palace with the seven or eight candidates to meet the queen during the initial selection process, the queen never made any hints or showed any intimacy with Cui Haitang.

So, who dares to say that the queen has selfish motives?

This is entirely for the sake of King Mu's heirs! ——Of course, it was an accident that Cui Haitang actually had a hidden disease and could not have an heir for King Mu. After all, apart from her and King Mu, no one else knew about it.

Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine De suffered internal injuries when the two wives entered the mansion together.The former wanted Xiao Shishi to be the only favorite, but there was a competitor; the latter had no idea.There are already four wives in Prince Mu's mansion, so adding concubines in a short period of time would be outrageous.

If you say wait patiently...it's not impossible, it's just that my niece can't afford to wait.

Therefore, with these two charming wives standing in front of him, how could Concubine De be pleasing to the eye.

"Which one is Mrs. Xiao?"

Xiao Shishi was so excited, she must have brought up the matter of pregnancy, she immediately took a step forward, and responded coquettishly: "That's the concubine."

As he spoke, he gave King Mu a wink.

It's a pity that King Mu didn't see it, which is a bit regretful.

Concubine De was of course happy to be pregnant with her son's child, even if she didn't like the child's mother, she would not put it on her face.

After a few exhortations from above, he asked Jieyou to see off the guests.

Xiao Shishi was a little surprised.This summoning is not what she imagined at all, why don't you stay for a birthday party?Don't you want some treasures?At least you should hold her little hand to ask her how she is.

Bai Xia dressed up so grandly, she thought she could see the emperor!
But Haitang knew that only King Mu and Princess Mu were eligible to stay to celebrate Concubine De's birthday.In Concubine De's eyes, the two of them are just two bellies, the difference lies in whether they can bear a child for King Mu.

For these two "belly", Concubine De has her own conclusions.

When changing clothes before the banquet, she listened to Jieyou's report on the situation outside the hall, and smiled coldly: "An idiot, an idler."

Well, this is the evaluation given by Concubine De to the two wives.Those who can be born are stupid, and those who can't are naturally idle.

Jieyou comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about them. You won't let them take care of you after you have a baby anyway. The princess is a prudent person, and she always makes you feel at ease when doing things."

Not being able to eat the meal in the palace, and King Mu stayed in the palace again, Xiao Shishi felt extremely desolate.

In the middle of the night, King Mu and Princess Mu finally returned to the mansion, seeing Xiao Shishi waiting pitifully in the courtyard of Xingyun Palace, Princess Mu was very angry.

Ever since Xiao Shishi found out that she was pregnant, Six Lanterns hadn't been to Ninghui Pavilion. It was hard for Princess Mu to regain the feeling that "this man belongs to me", so Xiao Shishi would not let Xiao Shishi come in again.

In front of King Mu, feeling uncomfortable, she just asked softly: "Why is Mrs. Xiao standing in the cold wind in the middle of the night? You are a healthy person, it is not good to catch a cold."

Xiao Shishi wished King Mu a blessing: "It's almost Chinese New Year, I miss my family for a while, and I walked here, somehow, I came here..."

What a lame excuse.

King Mu nodded: "That's right. You haven't seen your family when you come to the palace. Princess, you will take care of it later, and prepare a gift for Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Cui's natal families... four, each of the four wives' natal families. Fortunately, the four families are all in the capital, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so they must be delivered to each mansion, and the mistresses of the four families are allowed to enter the palace for a speech on the third day of the new year."

Concubine Mu responded, and said with some self-reproach: "It's my concubine's negligence, I should have reminded the lord long ago."

King Mu said indifferently: "This year is an exception, and I don't blame you."

Xiao Shishi pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied with this arrangement, seeing her mother was certainly a pleasure, but when King Mu opened his mouth, the favor spread all over the floor, so why should she let others share what she fought for.

"Your Highness..." She twisted her body and wanted to be coquettish.

Concubine Mu said: "I haven't thanked the lord, the palace has not had such a precedent in the past few years, how much face do you have?"

When the words stopped, Xiao Shishi couldn't open her mouth immediately, and said awkwardly: "I thank Your Highness."

"The people around you are so ignorant, why did you come out alone?" Princess Mu frowned.

Song Lian, who was hiding far away in the night, felt bad when she heard this, and hurried forward to show her face.

Can't punish Xiao Shishi, can't punish you?The last time I saw you perform that pregnancy scene, it wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp. This kind of lowly maid will slap your mouth well tomorrow.

Concubine Mu made up her mind and said with a cold face, "Mrs. Cui just ran around in the snow. She was sick and still hasn't recovered. How do you serve her? Do you want Mrs. Xiao to be like her?"

Songlian was so frightened that she trembled, not daring to say a word, she helped Xiao Shishi back to the house.

Seeing that Xiao Shishi had gone far away, Mu Wang said: "It's getting late, you should go back too."

Concubine Mu was taken aback, the two of them had been together all day, and they thought they were going to stay in Xingyun Palace tonight.

"I've been busy all day and I'm tired. Let's go to bed early." Mu Wang gave a rare explanation, which was an explanation.

Looking at the lonely back of the princess, Mu Wang also couldn't bear it.However, he really didn't want to worry about these women every night.

He knew that the princess wanted a child, and even if the hope was slim, she was still working hard to get it.In the past few days, every time he saw her stuffing the cushion under her body hurriedly afterwards, he felt uninterested.

The reason why he likes Xiao Shishi is because her devotion makes him feel that she is a man, not a hard-working farmer.

He didn't like the pious way a woman saw herself as a field.

To be honest, this kind of hard work has too much sense of responsibility, which makes him feel a little tired.
