The Empress Dowager's old face sank slightly, the emperor's own mother, after all, is a wrapper who can't stand on the stage!!
"Jinbin, please go back and sit down. The Ai family won't drink anymore." The Queen Mother saw that something was wrong with Jinbin's expression. This girl... is really too arrogant. This is not a good thing.
"Yes." Jin Bin hurriedly lowered his head, made a respectful gesture, curtsied, and returned to his own seat - the chair next to Mao Bin.
Wan Fang Anhe was listening to the opera today. Needless to say, the first four thrones were for the emperor, the empress, the queen mother and the queen mother. Even if the emperor left, the seats in the middle would still be vacant.
Behind them are Concubine Yu, Concubine Xi and Concubine Dun, and again Concubine Jin and Concubine Mao. Concubine Jin's seat is mostly blocked by Concubine Dun in front, so where else can we see any drama?!
Looking at the pretentious figure in front of her, Jinbi was so filled with hatred that she almost felt sick.
Little Nian Gao also seemed a little nervous. Even though she had been thinking about the throne of the imperial concubine for a long time, she now had to deny it with all her strength, "The late emperor's imperial concubines were all from Manchurian aristocratic families. I was born under the banner of the Han Dynasty. How can I be a noble concubine?"
? Besides, it is not yet known whether the child in my concubine’s belly is a boy or a girl. I just hope that if it is a princess, the emperor will not be too disappointed."
Empress Dowager Wuya said calmly: "The emperor loves you so much, so it is inevitable that he will have high hopes for you."
Shu Jin thought about it secretly. What Queen Mother Wuya meant...if Nian gave birth to a princess, the emperor would definitely be disappointed? This is putting pressure on Xiao Nian Gao. Shu Jin couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Did you mess with you?
Concubine Dun lowered her head deeply and had to say quickly: "I am scared."
The Queen Mother chuckled and said: "You are pregnant and you are so charming. No wonder the emperor kept paying attention to you during dinner just now." - Such beauty is not much better than that of the late emperor's beloved concubine.
Concubine Dun bit her lip. Although she wished the emperor cared more about her, she did not want to cause so much unwarranted resentment in public. Concubine Dun couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. She had always been humble to the Queen Mother, why did the Queen Mother target her like this?
!
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Li Guiren's little princess is not blessed, so the emperor naturally has more expectations for the child in Concubine Dun's belly. Concubine Dun is really blessed."
There was a look of displeasure on the old face of the Empress Dowager. She was just the Wu Ya family. After all, she was the biological mother of the emperor. She must be given some face. You are a queen, but you are afraid of chaos in the harem. What kind of virtue is this? No wonder the emperor doesn't like it.
This knotted wife!
"Queen!" the Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "Don't forget why Li Guiren's little princess is so unlucky!" She actually has the nerve to mention this matter!
The queen's face turned pale, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I did not take good care of my concubine, but please rest assured that Concubine Dun's pregnancy will be safe."
Shu Jin secretly thought that the queen seemed to want to do something after the little rice cake was born... It was a good idea.
Concubine Dun also heard the implication of the queen's words, and couldn't help but itching her teeth with hatred, she is not dead yet!!! I really thought she was a soft persimmon like Concubine Xi!
The Empress Dowager rubbed her tired brows, "The emperor's harem has an uneasy mother, let alone another queen... Having fewer people does not necessarily mean that there will be less trouble!"
"The Ai family is exhausted today!"
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was directly ended by the Empress Dowager.
Shu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of a fight.
Except for Concubine Xuan and Concubine Jin, who were left behind temporarily, the others knelt down and left separately. After staying in Wanfang Anhe for most of the day, Shu Jin's buttocks were sore from sitting and she just wanted to go back early and take a bath.
, have a good sleep.
But unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the door of Danning Hall, shocking news came.
"Empress, it's not good! Concubine Dun has fallen into the water!"
Shu Jin's eyes widened. Little rice cake? Falling into the water? She is still pregnant! By the way, can this piece of rice cake swim? Won't it drown?
Zhang Shoufa quickly added: "Don't worry, Madam, the man has been rescued, and he is not seriously injured. The Emperor and the Queen have already rushed to Fuchun Palace, you..."
Shu Jin rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Since it's okay, I won't go." - She was not interested in visiting the rice cake that fell into the water. As for how the little rice cake fell into the water, let's wait for the results of the subsequent investigation. It was not her fault anyway.
Yes, why is she joining in the fun?
Zhang Shoufa whispered: "All the concubines have gone to Fuchun Palace. If you don't go, I'm afraid there will be something wrong."
Shu Jin’s black line, others are going to visit, but if I don’t go, wouldn’t it make me feel guilty?
Shu Jin gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go!"
At night, the Fuchun Palace was brightly lit. In the inner bedroom, Concubine Dun was lying weakly on the couch, with a look of fear and uneasiness on her little face. Yongzheng was sitting on the bedside, holding Nian's weak and boneless hand in one hand, as if
He was comforting her. The queen was sitting on a chair nearby, remaining calm.
The rest of the concubines, regardless of their status, were standing on one side. Shu Jin silently glanced at them and saw that all the concubines from the Old Summer Palace were here!
Shu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to bow to the emperor and empress, but did not dare to say anything. After a quick salute, he stepped aside and tried to reduce his presence.
Concubine Dun was sobbing, "Your Majesty, it's not that I was careless, it's because someone pushed me..."
When Yinzhen saw how pitiful his concubine was, he comforted her again and again, "Don't worry, no matter who it is, I will never tolerate it!"
Such a scene of affection for a concubine might be an eyesore to the queen, right? She took a closer look and clearly saw that the queen's hands had been retracted into her sleeves, and she might have clenched her fists.
The queen was fed up with Nian's behavior and couldn't help but said with a straight face: "Concubine Dun, you are so serious, you still have to go back to the palace along the shore of Houhu Lake at night! You don't understand that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.
Do you understand?"
Concubine Dun lowered her eyes and said delicately: "I just feel that my chest is tight and I want to go to the lake to get some air. Where did I think of..." As she said that, Concubine Dun sobbed and cried again.
"Queen, please stop saying a few words!" Yinzhen said with a dark face and a little impatient. Nian had just fallen into the water and was frightened! Instead of comforting her, you were scolding her!
The queen's face looked so ugly.
Shu Jin secretly thought, this little rice cake... is still interested in doing tea art, so it seems that he is not too shocked, right?
At this time, Zhang Lin, who was in front of the emperor, walked in quickly, holding a dirty sachet with both hands, "Your Majesty, I picked this thing up on the shore where Concubine Dun fell into the water."
Shu Jin was so close that she could see clearly. For a moment, she felt familiar... Suddenly, her eyes widened. The sachet was embroidered with a jade rabbit making medicine. The rabbit was particularly plump and round.
Isn't this the sachet that Li Guiren embroidered for Tianshen a month ago?
Looking at Li Guiren again, as expected, his face turned pale.
Shu Jin secretly cursed, "F*ck, are you doing this for my mother?!"
