The result of this Chengqian Palace meeting was to stand still.
The palace maid brought up a cup of almond milk tea with frost in it. Shu Jin drank it warmly. Just as he was thinking about going back to sleep, he heard a report from below that Concubine Xi was here.
Come on, I almost forgot about this master.
I just had to cheer up and welcome him.
"Sister!" Concubine Xi held Shu Jin's hand again, looking left and right, but hesitated to speak.
Shu Jin quickly waved his hand and retreated. Concubine Xi frowned and said, "Sister, Queen... I don't think she is sick, but she seems to be happy!"
Shu Jin didn't think so. Although history had changed a lot, she still didn't think it was possible for Ulanara to have a second child.
"If she once gives birth to a prince, then my longevity-" Concubine Xi suddenly stopped in the middle of her words.
Shu Jin chuckled. Sure enough, he had been thinking about the reserve position for a long time. But it was normal. Although there was an older Hongshi in front of him, Hongshi was not very smart and was not liked by the emperor. His biological mother, Concubine Qi, was a Han military flag.
And she is already old and beautiful. And Concubine Xi...Although she has fallen out of favor a long time ago, she is one of the Three Banners of Manchuria! Yuan Shou is the only son of a Manchu concubine in the palace.
Therefore, what Concubine Xi fears most is that the queen has a son.
To be honest, when it comes to status, who can compete with the Queen?
Although the internal minister Fei Yanggu has passed away, the Ulanara family is still a wealthy family, and the queen's mother is the daughter of Beizi, so she has royal blood! In addition, the late emperor granted her the marriage, and her status as the original wife, how could she not
Does Concubine Xi feel flustered?
Shu Jin said hurriedly: "The queen is just unwell now, and her age is no longer suitable for childbearing."
Concubine Xi frowned and said, "It's hard to say. The Queen Mother was already over thirty when she gave birth to the Fourteenth Master."
In fact, even in ancient times, it was not unusual for someone in their early thirties to have a child. It just had to be the cooperation of Yongzheng!
Unfortunately, Yongzheng stayed at Zhongcui Palace on the fifteenth day of every month in these months.
Shu Jin could only say with relief: "Not to mention whether there is true happiness, even if there is, we still don't know whether it will be a son or a daughter. At this time, we must not get into trouble."
Concubine Xi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just afraid that if the Queen really has a son, in the future... we may not even have a way to survive."
Shu Jin slanders: Don't be alarmist! The queen can at most kill you to attack you?
Shu Jin also understood that Concubine Xi was going to be tied to a boat with her, so he said: "The matter hasn't reached that point yet. Let's calm down first and see what happens. Besides -"
Shu Jin lowered his voice: "At this time, Concubine Qi will only be more restless than us."
Concubine Xi suddenly remembered the look on Concubine Qi's face outside Zhong Cui's door, and couldn't help but nod. Yes, Concubine Qi just had an older Hongshi, so she regarded the position of the crown prince as if it were in her pocket. If the queen had a son, Concubine Qi would only
It will be even more unacceptable.
Concubine Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, you are absolutely right." Let Concubine Qi go find out more about the queen!
After seeing off Concubine Xi, it was almost noon, so Shu Jin simply passed on lunch, had enough to eat and drink, and then took a nice nap.
She didn't care whether Uranala was pregnant or not! She had never thought about seizing the direct lineage or the posthumous title.
It was rare that the queen was exempted from paying her respects. Shu Jin only hoped that such a comfortable little life would last longer.
Chengqian Palace is as calm as a mountain even in rain or shine.
Other palaces have already resorted to various means.
Changchun Palace, Jingren Palace, Yanxi Palace, and Yikun Palace all spent their money to go to the Taiyuan Hospital to inquire about the news. Some people even reached out to Zhongcui Palace to find out whether the queen was really sick or fake.
In the afternoon of this day, the queen was leaning on the soft floor of the Nuan Pavilion, still covered with a thick brocade quilt. She was holding a cup of red date and lotus seed soup in her hand, blowing on the hot air and drinking it slowly.
The eldest palace maid Danzhu reported in a low voice: "Except for Chengqian Palace and Qixiang Palace, the other palaces spent a lot of money to go to Taiyuan Hospital to find out information. Especially Changchun Palace, how dare you put your hands into our Zhongcui Palace! How audacious!
"
The queen raised her eyebrows. Concubine Jin had guessed the details, so she didn't pry, but Concubine Yu...
"Among the six palaces, the only one who is not hostile to me is Concubine Yu." There was a smile on the corner of the queen's mouth that was either contemptuous or self-deprecating.
Danzhu said: "It can be seen that Concubine Yu really behaves herself."
The queen was silent for a moment and said, "It's almost time to loosen the gap to prevent Concubine Qi from being upset."
Danzhu asked cautiously: "What about Concubine Xi..."
There was a hint of coldness in the Queen's eyes, "Since she didn't reach out to Zhongcui Palace, let her go this time!" - With Concubine Xi's caution, she would never take action easily without being completely sure. In this case
, then we will have to look for opportunities to repair Concubine Xi in the future.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day, Zhongcui Palace was still ill, and the concubines still did not need to pay their respects.
Shu Jin was very happy. She slept until she woke up naturally these past few days. It was so comfortable!
At three o'clock in the morning, I stretched myself lazily, went outside the hall to admire the seasonal flowers just delivered from the greenhouse, played Frisbee with Tian Shen, fed the fish, and lived my little life in a leisurely way.
The rhododendrons in the large celadon pots are in full bloom, even more gorgeous than the peach blossoms in the Imperial Garden, attracting bees and butterflies, yet still retaining the spring scenery.
Unfortunately, there are very few gardens in the Forbidden City. Apart from the Imperial Garden, there are only two gardens, the Cining Garden and the Ningshou Garden. Although there are flower rooms in each palace and courtyard where seasonal flowers and trees are often offered, they are all planted in pots.
, but a little less lively.
Shu Jin couldn't help but think of the Old Summer Palace, which was a summer retreat given by Emperor Kangxi when Yongzheng was the prince. It seemed that the original owner, Geng, had lived there with Prince Yong when he was a prince. Unfortunately, she had not come since she crossed over.
This blessing.
Now it is said that the Old Summer Palace is undergoing major renovation, and the late emperor's Changchun Garden is said to have been merged into it. It seems to be a big project, and I don't know when it will be completed.
By the way, Shu Jin has only lived in the Forbidden City for a year, so why is he getting a little tired of it?
But then I thought about it, Yongzheng would be even more disgusting than her!
After all, this Yongzheng is a second-level boss, and he will only miss his beloved Old Summer Palace more than she does.
She just had to wait for the garden renovation to be completed with peace of mind. When the time came, even if she was not favored, she would still have the qualification to accompany him.
The Old Summer Palace is the legendary garden of ten thousand gardens.
I have to say, I’m really looking forward to it~
"Mom, the fish food is gone!" Baby Tianshen, who was feeding the fish on a stool, stretched out his empty fat paws to show her.
Shu Jin took a look at the red-crested koi in the large blue and white porcelain tank. Although it was not too big, it was plump and fat and it swam clumsily.
Shu Jin covered his face: Erda, you are raising pigs!
