Ling Ruo smiled forgivingly and said slowly: "Otherwise, do you think that a bowl of soup placed far away can make noble Qian feel so uncomfortable? Even if the concubine didn't say anything at the time, she would have found a reason to attract the imperial doctor.
After diagnosing her pulse, it was easy for people to discover that she was two months pregnant."
Shui Xiu asked in confusion: "But how does she know that if she says it at this time, the emperor will definitely promote her to the position?"
"She is not necessarily sure. After all, everything depends on people, and success depends on God; the hope is indeed great. Think about it, the Queen Mother's illness has always been the most worrying thing for the Emperor. In order to make the Queen Mother feel comfortable, the Emperor even agreed to release
Fourteenth Master,
Let him guard the late emperor's mausoleum; in this case, those who can make the Queen Mother look happy are naturally not allowed to be rewarded heavily. So not only did she get promoted to a noble person as she wished, but she was also given a title. This honor was not even achieved by Shu Mulu.
None of them have it.”
Shui Xiu agreed and said, "That's not true. When I looked at Guiren Ning just now, I was so angry that I almost became angry. The same goes for the concubine. Her face turned ugly when she was carrying the Emperor and the Queen Mother on her back."
"So, such a woman cannot be underestimated by me at all, even if she is just a noble person now."
Yang Hai suddenly remembered that Mr. Liu had come to show his kindness to his master before, and said with some regret: "It would have been better if the master had not rejected Mr. Qian at that time. She is now pregnant with the dragon seed. If she can give birth safely, the emperor may give her a title
She is a concubine, and with her helping the master, the master can feel much more relaxed."
Ling Ruo shook her head sternly, "You are wrong. Even if things happen again at this time, I will still reject her because... she and Wen Ruqing are essentially the same type of people, even if they are different
The methods used today are different, but in the end they lead to the same goal through different paths."
Yang Hai and Shui Xiu both found it a little unbelievable. They had seen Wen Ruqing's terrifying behavior with their own eyes, but they didn't know that Qian Guiren was also such a terrifying person.
On the other side, Ling Ruo was also thinking secretly. Among the beautiful ladies who entered the palace last year, there were already four nobles. Not to mention the Shu Mulu family, Wen Ruqing and Liu family were both scheming people. Only Tong Jia was left.
Since we have had little contact with him, we still can't tell what his temperament is.
"Okay, you just need to know this matter in your own mind. Don't go outside and talk nonsense. In addition, go find out what the gift Wen Ruqing gave to Mr. Qian."
The two of them left as they were told and stayed until evening. They came in and reported that they had inquired clearly. Wen Ruqing gave a white jade Guanyin statue as a gift.
Hearing the word "Guanyin Xiang", the smile in Ling Ruo's eyes deepened, "Please prepare the gifts that I want to give to Lord Qian, and I will personally deliver them tomorrow."
On the second day, Ling Ruo took Yang Hai and Shui Xiu to Xianfu Palace. She did not go directly to find the Liu family, but met the Guarjia family first. The latter looked Ling Ruo up and down.
With a half-smile but not a smile, he said: "If I'm not wrong, you probably didn't come to see me specifically today. Is it for the Liu family?"
As early as last night, the news of Mrs. Liu's pregnancy and promotion to Qiangui had spread to every corner of the harem, and it was not surprising that Mr. Guarjia would know about it.
Ling Ruo sat in the chair and slowly shook her palace fan and said, "Sister has already guessed it. It seems I can't deny it even if I want to."
Guarjia sighed after hearing this and said: "There is no need to guess about this kind of thing. Since dawn today, people have been coming to give gifts to Mrs. Liu, no matter whether they are sent by palace officials or in person.
, I have to go around my place, the so-called queen of the throne, and I can’t even sleep for a while. It’s really annoying.”
Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said, "Sister, I feel annoyed now, what should I do in the future?"
Guarjia shook her head and was speechless. After a moment, she said: "But I didn't expect that your beloved Concubine Xi would come to give her a gift in person. She is not worthy of your flattery."
"I have something else." Ling Ruo answered vaguely, without saying it clearly, and Guarjia didn't ask further questions. Xu Xu said a few words to Ling Ruo, and then the topic changed: "You and Sister Wen are really planning to have a baby."
Have you got your share?”
Hearing this, Ling Ruo's face darkened and she said bluntly: "I don't want to talk about this."
"I know you don't want to hear it, but you still have to keep talking. Now that the emperor has ordered you and Sister Wen to take charge of the harem together, if you continue to ignore the other and continue to make trouble, how should you take charge?"
Ling Ruo remained silent, and Guarjia took the opportunity to say again: "Ruo'er, I know you are angry, and I don't, but we have known each other for more than twenty years, and this friendship cannot be erased.
Isn't it just what Wen Ruqing wants you to make such a fuss about?
After a long time, I heard Ling Ruo slowly say: "Even if this is the case, I can't help it, not to mention the relationship that we can't erase is not worth mentioning in Concubine Hui's eyes."
Guarjia also listened to the slanderous words, but she still couldn't bear to see her jump into the fire pit, "There is no such thing. Sister Wen was just temporarily deceived by Wen Ruqing, so she couldn't tell the difference between good and bad. You
Give Sister Wen some time, and she will definitely understand who should be trusted."
"I'm afraid that by the time Concubine Hui understands, it will be too late." At this point, Ling Ruo stood up and said, "Okay, I should go see Mr. Qian, and I'll see my sister later." After that, Guar didn't wait.
Jia agreed and left. This was the first time in so many years that she was so rude in front of Guarjia. Guarjia shook her head repeatedly. Is everything really irreversible?
Not to mention that the Guarjia family was sad there, Ling Ruo walked through the main hall and came to Changmingxuan where Liu family lived. When the palace people saw her coming, they quickly went in to report. After a while, Liu family came out in person, with a look of fear on her face.
: "I, my concubine, see your concubine Xi, may your concubine be blessed with peace and prosperity."
"Your Majesty Qian, please get up quickly." Ling Ruoguo helped Liu up with a decent smile and said: "I have been overjoyed since I learned that your Majesty Qian was pregnant yesterday. Both the Emperor and the Queen Mother are looking forward to the birth of a dragon.
For a long time, I didn’t expect that it would be Lord Qian, but there was no warning at all before.”
Hearing this, Ms. Liu said shyly and timidly: "Not to mention your Majesty, even I myself found it incredible when I heard what the imperial doctor said yesterday. I always thought it was because I had a bad stomach that made me feel sick."
"But you should also pay attention to Yue Xin. You haven't sent the imperial doctor to take a look at it for so long, but you were careless. Fortunately, the fetal air is still safe. Otherwise, what will I do to you?"
Faced with Ling Ruo's slight scolding, Mrs. Liu lowered her eyes and whispered: "Your Majesty is right, I am young and ignorant."
Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in first. It doesn't matter if we stand here and talk."
