Huang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This time, my sister guessed wrong. Because the imperial concubine spoke for you, the emperor ultimately protected you, not the child."
Hu said in shock: "Are you serious?"
"The imperial concubine is here, can it still be false?" After Huang's words fell, Xiayue said: "In fact, even if I don't say anything, the emperor will choose to protect concubine Ying because of his concern for concubine Ying."
Hearing her words, Mrs. Hu suddenly laughed, then shook her head and said: "No, the only one the Emperor cares about, besides the First Empress, is you."
Xianyue lowered her head and said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I will consider the matter between me and the emperor slowly. You..."
Mrs. Hu interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. I am not advising you, but telling you the facts. The emperor came to see me just now. Do you know what he said to me?"
After Xia Yue shook her head, she said: "The emperor said that after the concubine is full moon, he will be added as a concubine, and she will be ranked as the fourth concubine like sister Yi Fei."
Mrs. Huang said in surprise: "Is it true?" She thought that after Mrs. Hu gave birth to her son, she might be granted the title of fourth concubine, but she did not expect that it would happen so quickly and smoothly.
Mrs. Hu nodded and said, "Yes, but I later found out that this was actually the emperor's exchange condition. He would exchange the position of the fourth concubine for a child."
Xianyue and Huang looked at each other and said doubtfully: "Exchange conditions? Exchange children, how do you say this?"
Madam Hu met Xianyue's puzzled gaze and said word by word: "Your Majesty has asked your concubine to give one of her children to you to raise, in order to make up for the emptiness in your lap."
Xianyue never expected to hear such words, and she was stunned. Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Hu said again: "Your Majesty, it's not that I mean to say good things to the emperor, but I just want to see it.
It turns out that the emperor is really nervous and cares about you; concubine
I believe that if you had not advised the emperor, the emperor... would not have chosen to protect his concubine." When she said this, her voice was slightly choked, and then she said: "Instead of torturing each other like this, it is better to give to the emperor and also to the emperor.
You have a chance."
Mrs. Huang took the opportunity and echoed: "Yes, my dear, you have seen and heard that the emperor always considers you and regards you as the most important thing. No matter how angry you are, it will disappear. Moreover, if you continue to do this, it will only cause pain to your loved ones."
, haters are quick, do you really want to watch Concubine Yu ascend to the throne? Let’s just forget about it?”
Xianyue was silent for a long time and said: "Let me think about it carefully." Before the two Huangs could speak, she added: "Concubine Ying just gave birth to a child and is weak. There is no need to rush back to Changchun Palace. Wait until she gets better.
It’s not too late for some to leave.”
After he went out, Mrs. Huang sighed softly and said to Mrs. Hu who was lying on the bed: "Do you think the empress can listen to our advice?"
Mrs. Hu then sighed: "I don't know, I hope."
After a moment of silence, Huang said: "This incident has really wronged my sister, but..."
Before she could continue, Mrs. Hu shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It's not like he won't let his concubines see him in the future. Besides, the son is valued by his mother, so it would be good for him to be raised by the imperial concubine." Even so,
Tears almost came out. After barely holding back, she said: "I just hope that the imperial concubine can get rid of her heartache as soon as possible. The emperor...actually treats her very well."
"I hope so." After saying this, Huang suddenly laughed, "The emperor has named you his concubine. From now on, you should not call yourself my concubine in front of me."
When she said this, Mrs. Hu also discovered the problem and chuckled: "I've been calling for so long, and I have to change it all at once. It's really a bit uncomfortable."
"Even if you are not used to it, you have to change it." After saying that, Huang said with emotion: "It is really great that you can be named the fourth concubine. We will be more confident in dealing with Concubine Yu and others in the future."
Mrs. Hu's eyes flashed slightly and she said: "Concubine Shu is about to give birth. Sister, tell me, will the emperor also make her his concubine?"
"This..." Huang thought for a while and said: "Until then, none of us know what the emperor will decide, but if the imperial concubine is willing to speak, I believe it can influence the emperor's decision to a great extent."
Mrs. Hu saw that she was going around and around Xianyue again, she shook her head slightly and said: "I hope the imperial concubine will figure it out soon. To put it bluntly, although the emperor treats her very well now, if she continues like this, no matter how deep she is,
No matter how strong the relationship is, there will be times when it fades. Once it reaches that point, it will be difficult to restore it, let alone Concubine Yu, Wei Jingxuan and the others are eyeing her."
"You missed talking about Xia Qing." When the name was mentioned, Huang became angry. "If she hadn't caused so many things, why would the emperor and the imperial concubine be like this?" After that, she waved her hand and said:
"That's all, let's not mention this person. I'll go back first so that you can have a good baby. Later, I'll have someone send you some replenishing medicinal materials."
Mrs. Hu nodded and said worriedly: "Thank you, sister. Now that the imperial concubine has not untied her knot, Concubine Yu will trouble her to keep an eye on her."
Mrs. Huang tucked the brocade quilt for her, nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing, so take a good rest and don't work too hard."
While they were talking, Xianyue sat silently in the warm pavilion. The tea on the table changed from hot to cold several times, but Xianyue never moved. She looked at the fallen leaves of Xifu Begonia outside the window, and she didn't know.
What are you thinking about.
I don't know how much time passed like this, but Zhichun walked in and said: "Master, dinner is ready, my servant will help you over."
Xianyue withdrew her gaze and said, "Have you prepared a copy to send to Concubine Ying?" Not long ago, the Yangxin Palace issued a decree to officially appoint Hu as concubine. The canonization ceremony will be carried out after the Ministry of Rites selects an auspicious day in the zodiac.
"Master, don't worry. I have asked the small kitchen to prepare a meal suitable for Concubine Ying and send it to you." After a pause, Zhichun said: "Master, you haven't slept all night. You should have a good sleep after dinner, otherwise your health will be bad."
You’ll be exhausted.”
"I am not sleepy." As she said this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Xiayue's face and she said, "Pick a few dishes that the emperor likes and put them in a food box and send them to the Nourishing Heart Hall later."
Zhichun was overjoyed when she heard this. Since Xianyue had a dispute with Hongli, this was the first time she was willing to mention Hongli. She tentatively said: "Then... what should I say when I send the slave over? I said it was the master's request.
Did your slave send it to you?"
Xianyue glanced at her and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, don't you think I can't hear it?"
Seeing through her thoughts, Zhichun stuck out the tip of his tongue and whispered: "Master, do you forgive the emperor for asking your slave to deliver meals?"
"When did I say such a thing?" After saying this, she added: "Besides, when did I ask you to deliver meals?"
