Chapter Seven: The Palace Lost Power

Chapter 7 The palace loses power

"Sister Wan, congratulations to you." Nuansi walked in wearing a moon-white gauze dress and sincerely wished concubine Wan.

"Thank you, sister." Concubine Wan smiled gently.

"Why thank me?" Nuan Si wondered.

"If my sister hadn't issued the edict, I might not have been qualified to be pregnant first."

"Sister Wan, you are pregnant now, so you must have a good rest." Nuan Si smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, it's only been a month, and it's not that delicate." Wan Bing stroked her belly and smiled happily.

"It's okay this time. If you have a child, don't think about the past." Nuan Si breathed a sigh of relief.

The late concubine nodded, turned around, took out the portrait from the cabinet, and spread it out...

Nuan Si was surprised. The person in the painting no longer had a pair of eyes, but the entire outline was clear...

Yu Guodong is a heroic man...

"Sister Wan, what are you...?" Nuan Si was puzzled.

"It's nothing. Every time I think of it, I start painting. As time goes by, the painting will be complete."

Nan Yu knew that the late concubine was a talented woman. A few days ago, for the emperor's birthday, she even drew a picture of the king delivering his son, which was lifelike and lifelike.

Nuansi stepped forward and marveled at Concubine Wan's talent: "Sister Wan, your painting skills are so good, I'm afraid no one in Nanyu can match her."

The late concubine smiled: "My sister is joking, but it's not that good. It's just my hobby when I was young. I got used to it as I kept drawing."

After that, the concubine picked up the scroll and the candle with the other hand...

"Sister Wan, what are you...?" Nuan Si was shocked.

"The past is in the past, it doesn't matter if it's burned, I want to live a new life with the baby in my belly."

"But this painting is your only memory, so you might as well keep it as a souvenir." Nuan Si always felt that burning it would be a pity.

"Well, what my sister said is right, then I will keep it as a treasure. After all, we are in love." After that, the concubine put down the candle and put away the scroll.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Nuan Si thought for a moment, and when he turned around, the shining dragon robe was already in front of his eyes.

"I send my regards to the emperor." Nuan Si and the late concubine were rude one after another.

The emperor ignored Nuan Si and walked over to help the concubine up and said softly: "Wan'er, you are pregnant now, so there is no need to bow."

"No, Your Majesty, the etiquette in the palace cannot be wasted." Wan Concubine said carefully.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell today?" the emperor asked with concern.

"No, I haven't been vomiting in the past few days. I just suddenly like sour food." Wan Concubine said shyly.

"Oh? Really? That's very good. I'll send you the green plums from the south as tribute."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Concubine Wan smiled wisely.

Nuan Si felt very uncomfortable. Seeing such a scene was like a knife stabbing her heart...

"Your Majesty, Sister Wan, I will take my leave first." Nuan Si bowed and saluted.

"Sister, please stay and have lunch together." The concubine asked her sincerely.

Before Nuansi could refuse, the emperor interrupted: "Wan'er, if the queen wants to leave, let her go. After all, pregnant people and non-pregnant people eat different things. I'm afraid the queen is not used to it, right?"

Nuan Si's smile froze. He said this was a great irony to her. She is pregnant, but she is not pregnant...

"Concubine, please leave." Nuan Si suppressed any emotion and turned to leave.

But just because she had no emotion and no attack, the emperor's face became even more gloomy...

What's wrong with her? Wasn't she always sharp-tongued before? When did she start to be so tolerant?

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Queen..." Wan Concubine wanted to persuade the Emperor.

"Wan'er doesn't need to say more. I know that you and the Queen are deeply in love, but this is a matter between her and me, so why don't you get involved?" Although the Emperor was not angry, there was blame in his tone.

, the late concubine did not dare to say anything more.

On the way back, Nuan Si kept walking with her head down, not looking ahead...

Suddenly I felt like I hit something...

Before she could do anything, she heard a scream...ah...

He raised his head and saw Zhong Lizui holding his stomach slightly and shouting...

"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Nuansi said.

"Empress, how can you be so cruel? The Queen Mother allowed you not to bow to you. How could you deliberately bump into my concubine?" Zhongli Cui said with tears in her eyes.

"I really didn't mean it." Nuan Si looked aggrieved. Although she usually didn't like Zhongli Cuiwei, she was not bad enough to hit a pregnant woman on purpose.

Zhongli Cuiwei sat on the ground and couldn't get up. The servants were running around in confusion, so they had to alert the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and called for the imperial doctor to release Cai Zhong.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, back to the Emperor, Mrs. Cuiwei is fine, just slightly frightened." Meng Ziyang said carefully. In fact, he knew that Zhongli Cuiwei was fine, but she was shouting so pretentiously. If the imperial doctor said she was fine,

, but the emperor and the queen mother were blamed, so they had to pretend to be a little frightened.

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "Cuiwei, you have to take good care of yourself and don't have emotional ups and downs. It's not good for the fetus."

"I know, aunt." Zhongli Cui cried slightly, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Queen, how do you explain today's events?" the Queen Mother turned around and said.

"Mother, I didn't do it on purpose. I just lowered my head and walked without seeing it." Nuan Si said aggrievedly.

"No matter what, it was your fault this time. Fortunately, the fetus is fine. Otherwise, how could you let the Aijia and the emperor forgive you?"

"My son, I know I was wrong."

"Since Cui Wei is fine, just apologize." the Queen Mother said.

Nuan Si was silent... She had already said she was sorry, so why did she have to apologize? She was also a queen after all, and there were all the concubines in this room. How could an apology make her get off the stage?

"What? The Queen is not convinced?" the Queen Mother said seriously.

The emperor saw that the queen mother was a little angry, so he said: "Queen, apologize to Cui Wei."

Nuan Si looked at Mo Yu Wuhuan with tears in her eyes. Did he ask her to apologize now? The emperor looked at her pitiful face and didn't say anything but just turned his face to one side.

Nuan Si bit her lower lip tightly, her jade hands trembling slightly, and walked to Zhong Li Cuiwei's bed...

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Cuiwei."

The atmosphere was intense, and the apology resounded throughout the room...

"Forget it, I'll be fine, I just hope my concubine won't be so careless in the future. If she bumps into others, she'll be okay. If she bumps into pregnant women like me and Wanbi, it will be a big trouble." Zhongli Cuiwei said sarcastically.

Return to Xiluan Hall

Nuan Si remained silent, and Bei'er stepped forward carefully: "Mother, are you okay?"

Nuan Si suddenly hugged Bei Er's shoulders and burst into tears...

"Belle, I want to go home. I don't want to be here anymore. There is nothing I miss here anymore." Nuan Si said while crying.

"My queen, please don't be angry. You are the queen, the queen of Nanyu Kingdom, and this is your home." Beier comforted her.

"No, not here. There is no daddy and no mommy here." Nuansi cried more and more fiercely.

Belle sweated, and the empress started to say these strange words again. Every time she said these things, Bao'er and Belle thought she was talking nonsense.

I don’t know how long I cried, but Nuan Si finally got tired of crying and was helped to the bed by Bei Er...

"Belle, if I have the chance to go home, can you come with me? My hometown is a beautiful place." Nuan Si murmured.

"Well, okay, if you have the chance, I will definitely go back to Xiliang with you," Bei'er said softly.

Nuan Si's eyes dimmed suddenly, and she said in her heart: My hometown is not Xiliang, but China in the 21st century.

Seeing Nuan Si sleeping, Belle finally felt relieved and took off her gorgeous service and queen's phoenix crown. She was just a sixteen-year-old girl, a child who would laugh when she was happy and cry when she was sad. But

Why does she have to endure all this?

Belle felt distressed and picked up the thin blanket and gently covered Nuan Si's body. She decided to use her own strength to help her.

Houyefu

"My slave, please give my regards to the Marquis." Belle was dressed in white plain clothes and a piece of white tulle.

"Belle, why are you here?" Yan Yu couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"I have something to ask of Lord Marquis." Beier's voice was cold and she avoided Yan Yu's hand that came forward to hold her.

"Belle, when did you treat me like a stranger?" Yan Yu's voice was hoarse. He had not had a peaceful sleep since Belle's accident, but why was Belle becoming more and more indifferent to him.

"The Marquis is the master, and the slave is just an ugly slave. There is a difference between us master and servant." Belle said slowly.

"Belle, you know very well that you are not a slave in my eyes at all." Yan Yu said with hurt eyes.

"But this slave is self-aware."

Yan Yu stepped forward and tore off Belle's veil. The long scars were clearly visible. Regardless of Belle's resistance, Yan Yu held up her face and kissed her domineeringly.

"Please Lord Marquis, please let me go, please let me go." Belle shouted loudly.

But Yan Yufang didn't seem to hear it at all, and just kissed Belle crazily...

Beier suddenly pushed him away and slapped Yan Yu on the face with a crisp slap - snap.

Yan Yu suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Belle, and said, "What do you want from me? Tell me."

Bei'er was startled at first. She didn't expect Yan Yu to be so calm after being beaten, so she said, "Please help the Queen."

Yan Yu smiled contemptuously: "She? How can I help? She is now the queen."

"The empress has fallen out of favor, Mrs. Cuiwei and the late concubine are pregnant one after another, Mrs. Lan and the concubine Xue are in great favor, and the emperor has not been to Xiluan Palace for several months." Bei'er spoke truthfully about the current situation in the palace.

"There is nothing I can do about this. I can only blame the Queen for not being able to keep the Emperor." Yan Yu said coldly. He had always been angry with Nuan Si because of Belle's matter.

"Master Marquis, you are a popular person in front of the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely listen to your words." Belle analyzed.

Yan Yu laughed at himself: "I'm not popular enough to influence who the emperor wants to sleep with."

"You...you obviously don't want to help?" Belle looked angry.

"If you don't help, you don't have the ability to help." Yan Yu said word for word.

Knowing that Yan Yu was not helping on purpose and that Bei'er was no longer entangled with him, she bit her silver teeth and said, "Okay, since the Marquis won't help, I'll take my leave."

"Wait a minute." Yan Yu shouted.

Belle stopped...

"If, I mean, if you agree to be Mrs. Yan, then I will help her." Yan Yu held on to a glimmer of hope. He had already been married to Belle, and he could not ignore her and leave her alone.

People have to deal with gossip.

"It's impossible, it's impossible between us anymore," Belle said with tears in her eyes, stroking the scars on her face.

"I will help her, as long as you agree, I will help." Yan Yu knew Beier's sincerity towards the little queen, so she said.

"Haha, forget it if you don't help. Anyway, I won't agree to you." Belle was determined not to agree to him.

"Belle, how about being my concubine? There is no title, it's just a physical relationship. As long as you agree, I will help her." Yan Yu didn't know what was going on, and wanted to have Belle like a maniac.

"The Marquis is really good at telling jokes. This slave looks as ugly as a yaksha. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I look at it at night." Belle laughed at herself.

"It's useless to talk more. Do you agree or not?" Yan Yu asked seriously.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can help the queen regain her favor, I don't mind exchanging your body for her." Belle said with her eyes closed.
