"Master, I haven't." Shuixiu's answer made Ling Ruo frown even more. He hadn't summoned his concubines to sleep with him for so many days. Instead, he specially summoned Rong Yuan into the palace. Could it be that Yinzhen's body was really
Something went wrong?
Guarjia on the other side had the same question. She thought for a moment and said, "Ruo'er, Zhou Minghua is the apprentice of Imperial Physician Xu. Why don't you ask him to ask and see what happened to the Emperor?"
Ling Ruo nodded solemnly and said, "That's fine, I'll tell him tomorrow."
Obviously...I don't want to care about Yinzhen anymore, but when I hear that something is wrong with Yinzhen, my heart is still uncontrollably affected by it. Yinzhen...should I hate you or...
The next day, Ling Ruo told Zhou Minghua about the matter, and Zhou Minghua also followed the instructions to ask. Unfortunately, Rong Yuan refused to reveal anything, so he had no choice but to give up, which made it difficult to solve the doubts in Ling Ruo's heart.
On the other side, although there were rumors inside and outside the palace that Yinzhen wanted Nalan Meier to be his concubine, there was no news. Nalan Meier mentioned it openly and covertly several times, and Yinzhen was always talking about it.
She, it made her quite depressed.
She returned from the Yangxin Hall without success that day and was sulking. When Shu Mulu came in, seeing her uneasy expression, she hurriedly came over and said, "What's wrong with my sister? I don't feel well anywhere. Have you called the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
?”
Listening to her caring words, Nalan Meier's face looked a little better. He motioned her to sit down and said, "I'm fine. It's useless even if the doctor comes. It's just a heart problem."
Shu Mulu took her slightly cold hand and said, "What happened?"
"You're not the emperor yet." Nalan Meier said angrily, "Although I live in the palace now, I have no name and no status, and my life is not secure."
"Then sister didn't ask the emperor?" Shumulu came here precisely for this matter. Now that Nalan Mei'er took the initiative to bring it up, she was naturally happy to take it up.
"How can I not ask? After asking several times, the emperor asked me to be patient and not to be anxious." Nalan Meier frowned and said: "My dear, do you think the emperor does not intend to accept me as his concubine at all?
"
"Sister, don't think too much. If the emperor didn't mean it, how could he not be able to control himself, and how could he force Aqina to divorce my sister?" Mrs. Shumulus comforted her a few words and then said: "The reason why there is no movement now, think about it.
The emperor feels that the time has not come yet, or perhaps there are still many obstacles that have not yet been cleared."
"The emperor is the king of a country. No one can stop what he wants to do. In the final analysis, the problem still lies with the emperor." While Nalan Meier was talking, the palace servants brought up the freshly stewed bird's nest. Yin Hongru
When the fine blood swallows are poured with honey, the fragrance is fragrant and will whet your appetite.
After receiving the bird's nest handed over by the palace attendant, Mrs. Shumulu took a bite and said with emotion: "It's also a blood bird's nest. For some reason, it tastes particularly delicious when I eat it here."
Nalan Meier laughed at what she said, "If you like it, please feel free to come to my place. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent three kilograms of blood swallows. I only ate them once, and there are still many left."
Shu Mulu's eyes widened in surprise, "Three kilograms? It seems that the emperor is very kind to my sister. Concubine Qian and I only have two kilograms, and only the queen and concubine Xi have three kilograms."
"How could such a thing happen?" Even though she said this, Nalan Meier's face showed a look of pride that could not be concealed. She considered herself to be the person who was at the top of Yinzhen's heart, so she naturally did not want to lag behind others in everything.
Little did she know that her mentality was exactly what Shu Mulu needed.
Seeing that she had almost finished talking, Mrs. Shumulus deliberately sighed and said: "Actually, I will not hide it from my sister. For my sister's sake, I also mentioned it to the emperor. I hope that the emperor can canonize my sister as soon as possible, so that she can stay in the palace legitimately.
.”
Upon hearing this, Nalan Meier immediately became concerned and asked, "What did the emperor say?"
"What else can I do? The emperor said that he was afraid that the courtiers would criticize him, so he wanted to wait a little longer." Her words made Nalan Meier's heart freeze, and she said sadly: "It is indeed the case."
Shu Mulu changed his eyes and said: "But I think the criticism from the courtiers is only secondary. The most important thing is the harem. The emperor is afraid that the harem will be uneasy, so he has not canonized my sister for a long time."
"Harem?" Nalan Meier frowned and thought for a moment and said, "You mean the Queen?"
"The Empress has always been kind-hearted, and she has not cared much about the affairs of the harem in the past two years, so how can she embarrass my sister? What I am saying is..." Shu Mululu paused and slowly said two words, "Concubine Xi
.”
"Her?" Nalan Meier frowned and said, "She is neither a queen nor an imperial concubine, so why should she interfere in this matter."
"Sister, please don't forget that she is in charge of the harem now, and she is used to trying to please and be obedient in front of the emperor. Therefore, no one in the palace dares to say anything to her, and even the Queen will give in to her."
"This Concubine Xi is really lawless!" Nalan Meier felt angry after being told by Shu Mulu, but then she felt a little strange, "I don't think Concubine Xi has seen the emperor recently, how can she stir up trouble?
"
"Sister is wrong. It is precisely because Concubine Xi has not seen the emperor that the emperor has delayed establishing a sister." Nalan Meier was puzzled by Shumulu's words, "What do you mean by this? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it?"
.”
"Don't you understand, sister? Concubine Xi has always known the emperor's feelings towards her sister. She knew that if her sister entered the palace, she would have no place to stand, so she obstructed her affairs in every possible way. For this reason, she was cold to the emperor. The emperor thought
After so many years of friendship, it’s hard to discredit her face too much, so I postponed my sister’s matter.”
Her explanation made Nalan Meier suddenly realize, and at the same time there was a look of annoyance in her eyes, "I didn't expect Concubine Xi to be such a despicable person. How can such a person be qualified to be in charge of the harem."
"What sister said is exactly what she said. Unfortunately, the emperor was deceived by her and couldn't see her true face, so he allowed her to indulge in her reckless behavior." At this point, Mr. Shumulus sighed heavily and said, "Judging from the current situation,
As long as Concubine Xi doesn't let go, the emperor will not officially confer sister on her, so as not to cause trouble in the harem."
Hearing this, Nalan Meier suddenly panicked, tightly holding Shumulu's hand and saying: "Then... what should I do? Do I really want to go on like this without any name or status? No, I
Don’t do this!”
Shu Mululu pretended to comfort her: "Sister, don't worry, let's calm down and think about it, we can always find a way."
Nalan Meier had no idea at this time. She would do whatever Shumulu said. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about we go talk to the emperor again and let him see the true face of Concubine Xi?"
"It's useless. The emperor was deceived by Concubine Xi. It didn't happen overnight. How could he recognize Concubine Xi clearly with just a few words from my sister?" At this point, Shu Mululu's eyes turned and said: "Actually, I have one.
