Mrs. Wang took a deep look at her, lowered her head and said, "I am really flattered that your Majesty cares so much about me."
"You and I entered the palace in the same year and were pregnant with a dragon fetus together, which proves that we are destined. Regardless of whether my sister believes it or not, I sincerely hope that my sister can make great progress and take further steps; however, whether we can seize the opportunity well depends on
My sister is on her own."
"What about the empress? Don't you want to go further?" Faced with Wang's rhetorical question, Xin Bin lowered her eyes and smiled and said, "What do you think, sister?"
Wang didn't answer, but just stroked her flat belly and said, "I have nothing else to ask for now. I just hope that I can give birth to this child safely. As for my status... I just let nature take its course."
Xin Bin sighed softly: "I have the same idea as my sister. It's a pity that in the palace, the most difficult thing is the word 'peace and peace'. The two children before finally survived until October.
, but still died early, especially the younger one, who was not even out of confinement yet. Every time I think of it, my heart feels like a knife." After saying this, she couldn't help but blush.
Seeing this, Xiuzhu hurriedly advised: "Master, why did you think of this again? I believe that this time, my little brother will be safe and healthy, and Cheng Huan will be my daughter."
Mrs. Wang also said: "Yes, the empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus now, so it is really not appropriate to think about these things. I believe that everything will be fine."
"I hope." With that said, Xin Bin stood up and said, "Okay, I won't disturb my sister's rest. I will come to visit her another day. However, my sister must remember that she must not touch things like needlework, scissors, etc.
Already."
Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded: "I, my concubine, will remember your empress's teachings."
After getting out of Nishang Pavilion, Xin Bin's face suddenly darkened, and she got on the throne without saying a word. It wasn't until she stepped into Jingren Palace that she said coldly: "What a Yonggui man, he has such a tight mouth.
The palace has been talking for a long time, but she refused to say a single word. How can you let nature take its own course? Do you really think that I am a fool?!"
After what happened just now, Xiao Huazi had already vaguely sensed Xin Bin’s intention, and whispered: “It seems that Yonggui people do not want to form an alliance with the master.”
Xin Bin said coldly: "If I hadn't persuaded the emperor to get rid of Wei Xiuyan and couldn't please the queen, would I have to humble myself and form an alliance with her? It's simply shameless." Naturally, she didn't really go to Nishang Pavilion just to visit Wang.
, but after weighing the pros and cons,
She wants to temporarily form an alliance with them to gain greater benefits together; in addition, once she gains the trust of the Wang family, then... it will be much easier for her to deal with the Wang family and the dragon fetus in her belly in the future, just like how she dealt with Wei Jingxuan.
, it’s a pity that Wang always refused to take this bait.
Xiuzhu whispered: "Since she refuses, forget it. You are just a noble person. I don't expect it to cause any trouble."
"Noble?"
Let’s see how far she can go!”
In the following days, everything seemed to be calm. As the summer passed, the dragon fetuses in Xinbin and Wang's wombs were both three months old, and the fetuses were much more stable than before.
As Concubine Xin expected, Mrs. Wang was not reconciled to her position as a nobleman. She acted coquettishly and foolishly in front of Hongli several times, and said that she was having a hard time during pregnancy. Finally, Hongli relented. On this day in early August, the Hall of Yangxin announced that
News came out that the Wang family of Jin Dynasty was a concubine, and she was given the title of Dun. On the tenth day of September, the canonization ceremony was held and she was given a residence in Chonghua Palace.
When the news reached Xin Pin's ears, she was undoubtedly unhappy, but she did not get angry because she and Wang were also pregnant with a dragon fetus, and when Hongli came to visit her before, he hinted that he wanted to make her his concubine.
It means; now that the Wang family has been promoted to a concubine, then she will definitely be able to get the title of concubine. In this way, the Wang family is still lower than her.
But as time went by, Xin Bin gradually became uneasy. She waited and waited, but never received Jin Feng's order. At this time, three full days had passed since Wang's order. Could it be...
...Hongli didn’t intend to promote her to her position?
As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Xin Bin. In terms of favor, she was no less favored than the Wang family, and they were both pregnant, so there was no reason for the Jin Wang family to be the only one.
That day, while he was sitting in his chair, lost in thought, Xiao Huazi walked in with a happy face, bowed hastily, and said: "Master, the fifth father-in-law is outside asking for an audience. I saw that he brought many rare treasures. It seems that he has brought many rare treasures.
It should be a good thing."
When Xin Bin heard this, she felt happy and said quickly: "Please invite him in quickly."
Not long after Xiao Huazi went out, Xiao Wu walked in, followed by six young eunuchs. Each of them held a red lacquered and gold-painted tray, on which, just as Xiao Huazi said, there were various kinds of eunuchs.
Various kinds of jewelry, including bead chains made of thumb-sized pearls.
Xiaowu clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said, "I would like to pay my respects to Empress Xinbin. May I wish you all the best."
"Fifth Eunuch is exempt from the courtesy." Xin Bin raised her hand and said with a smile: "Fifth Eunuch is always busy with work, why do you have time to come here today?"
"This slave is here to give a reward to the empress by the order of the emperor." Although Xiaowu was dismissed from the post of chief steward, he was able to continue working with Hongli because of Xianyue's advice. In addition, he had been
Hongli was used to him and asked him to do everything, so except for a title, there was no difference from before.
Following Xiao Wu's words, six people lined up behind him. As they placed things on the table, Xiao Wu read in turn: "The emperor rewards the empress with a string of top-quality pearls, a string of emerald beads, and a string of white jade beads."
three
A pair of mahogany silver filigree purple jade inlaid with good luck and longevity, a pair of red gold nine-turn exquisite bracelets with beads, a pair of eight-treasure bead flying swallow hairpins, sixteen crimson silk flowers, mutton-fat jade ornaments entwined with flowers
Eight dollars.”
After Xiao Wu finished reciting all the words, Concubine Xin knelt down and said, "I would like to thank the Emperor for the reward. Long live the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, please get up." After Xin Bin straightened up, Xiao Wu said: "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will go back and give orders to the Emperor."
Hearing this, Xin Bin's face changed slightly, and she blurted out: "The Emperor...doesn't he have anything else to tell the father-in-law to this palace?" She wanted to say what she wanted to say, but when she was about to say it, she felt something was wrong and changed her mind.
Words on the lips.
Xiaowu's eyes flickered, and he said respectfully: "The Emperor said that please rest in peace, and if there is anything missing in the palace, please report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Concubine Xin forced a smile and said, "I understand, thank you so much, Fifth Eunuch."
After Xiao Wu went out, Xiao Huazi said disappointedly: "I thought the emperor sent the Fifth Eunuch here this time to pass on the decree of Jin Feng, but I didn't know that he was just sending some rewards, and I don't know what the emperor's plan was."
