You Jingxian's pink spring shirt is thin, and the skirts are all in a spacious style. The silk ribbon on the belt is not tied with pendants or inlaid with beads, but hangs down lightly, giving her a graceful and butterfly-like grace when she moves.
I asked her with a smile, "How come Concubine Jing has time to sit here today?"
She smiled happily and whispered softly, "I just came to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Last time I entered the palace in a hurry, I didn't have time to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
I smiled politely, "Concubine Jing insists on sticking to these etiquettes, which makes us angry."
She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, you are polite, I must not be ignorant of the rules." She turned around and looked around, "I heard that Sister Yuyin has been staying at your Majesty's house for the past two days, why haven't you seen her?"
"What a coincidence. Yu Yin just went to Concubine De's place, saying that he wanted to cut clothes for Princess Long Yue."
She smiled lightly: "Sister Yuyin likes children very much."
Hua Yi brought a cup of "Guimei" and I smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of tea Jingfei likes to drink. This Guimei is not a famous tea, but it is rare that the tea has the fragrance of osmanthus. Jingfei just drinks it for fun."
Bar."
She held it up and sniffed it, and couldn't help but praise: "It smells so good, it's really interesting." However, she put it down casually and said apologetically: "My queen, please don't be angry, I am not suitable for drinking tea. It's a pity that I am not blessed.
Otherwise, I really want to taste this good tea.”
I hurriedly asked: "Is Concubine Jing feeling unwell? Has the imperial doctor seen her?"
Her face turned red and she looked away shyly, "It's okay. The imperial doctor said that I am one month pregnant and the fetal energy is not stable, so it is not suitable to drink tea for the time being."
Before she finished speaking, I heard a loud "clang" sound in the compartment behind the painting screen, which sounded like the sound of a clothes rack falling to the ground. I was slightly startled, and I saw You Jingxian looking around with doubtful eyes.
Jin Xi heard the sound and moved forward. She quickly took a step forward with quick eyes and hands, and cursed with a smile: "This Luo Ying has just entered the palace, but he is so clumsy that he can't even clean a clothes rack. This shocked the empress." After that, he stepped away.
After disappearing into the painting screen, I could faintly hear Jin Xi's scolding voice inside: "I knocked down the clothes rack and didn't hurry up to fix it. The two queens are here outside. Don't disturb the queen by crying."
I was suspicious in my heart, but I smiled as usual and said to Jingxian: "Oh, it's really a happy event." I called Huayi, "Quickly change the bird's nest." I smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I also had a child.
The person who didn’t realize it really deserves a slap in the face.”
Jinxi came out as if nothing had happened, smoothed her hair, took the bird's nest and put it into Jingxian's hands diligently, and said with a smile: "The little girl is ignorant, it's all because of the lack of discipline by the slave, I hope Concubine Jing can forgive me."
Jingxian laughed it off and said, "The new girls are all a little careless. We are lucky to have sister Yu Yin in our house. If she were a concubine, how would she be able to tolerate the servants?"
I said with a smile: "No matter how talented Yu Yin is, she can't compare with Concubine Jing's contribution to the birth of a son for the six kings. When Yu Yin comes back, I will have to tell her carefully to take good care of Concubine Jing. Does the Queen Mother know? She must be very happy.
very."
Jingxian Zhen tilted her head slightly, stood up slowly and said, "Not yet. I came here today specifically to apologize to Sister Yuyin. Sister Yuyin is the prince's love, and she married into the prince's palace on the same day as me.
I have always been suspected of robbing Sister Yuyin, and now that I am pregnant, I think Sister Yuyin will be sad, so I have come here to apologize."
I hurriedly said: "Concubine Jing is too worried. The prince and your child are also her children. Yuyin will definitely not think so."
Jingxian seemed to be relieved, and sat down again, pressing her heart with her left hand, "That's fine." Her graceful eyes slowly passed over my face, which made me feel as if I was infected by frost and snow for no reason.
. She looked at me and said in a low voice: "Actually, the empress is the first person besides me to know that I am pregnant."
I nodded, "I feel extremely honored."
"Although I want to apologize to Sister Yuyin, I actually have a huge confusion that I want to ask the empress to answer for me."
I smiled lightly and said, "Concubine Jing is pregnant now. She is extremely noble. In order to ensure that my sister can raise her baby with peace of mind, I must tell you everything."
She slowly came closer to me, and a touch of pink spring stopped beside me and slowly sat down. It was completely different from her cold tone at the moment, "Since I married into the Qinghe Prince's Palace, I have been hearing that the prince is in love with Sister Yuyin for many years.
She was just brought into the palace, and she was treated with utmost respect as a side concubine. Sister Yuyin also flew up to the branches. The prince is indeed very affectionate. "
I responded calmly, "Yu Yin also has deep feelings for the prince. Naturally, Concubine Jing also has the same love for the prince."
"Sister Yuyin is naturally aware of the prince's good concubine. But... I have been married to the prince in recent years, and I have some doubts." She turned her head and pondered, "It seems that the prince is very kind to sister Yuyin.
, she takes care of all the affairs in the house, and often stays in her pavilion, but... the prince's love for Sister Yuyin is not a love between men and women. It is accommodation... it is sympathy... I am not pregnant.
I know, it’s not the kind of love that makes a man and a woman happy.”
I naturally said "Oh" and said gently: "I was very thoughtful during my pregnancy, and I was the same way back then. Perhaps the prince is more in love with Concubine Jing now, so Concubine Jing feels this way, and she should be happy."
"
Jingxian shook her head slightly, and the sad smile on her lips was like a scattered flower, "The prince only has sympathy for me, nothing else. So only I know how I got the child in my belly. I only have that."
An opportunity can be regarded as God's mercy. But he was not willing at the time, and I'm afraid he won't be happy now that he has a child."
"The prince has no children, how could he not cherish the child in Concubine Jing's belly? What's more, for Concubine Jing, no matter what the means, the goal has been achieved, and the prince's bloodline has been preserved in the end."
She lowered her eyes and whispered: "That's because I can't live without this child. Only with a child can I hope that the prince's heart will stay with me. Since I married the prince, naturally I can't just watch it.
Seeing that the prince was paying no attention to me, I had tried every means to please him. I talked about poetry and songs with the prince, but the prince was indifferent to the affection of his children. Until I found out,
Yu Yin is also trying so hard to please her. If the prince is really in love with Yu Yin's sister according to the rumors, why should she work so hard to please her. Therefore, I began to be suspicious. "
I looked directly at her with a smile, "What are you curious about, Concubine Jing? You might as well tell me, I am also very curious."
She pondered for a moment, then showed a calm look, "I began to suspect that Yu Yin's marriage was a carefully planned situation. Maybe Yu Yin himself wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix and tried his best to marry the prince, but if that's true
The prince can ignore her, let alone go to great lengths to respect her status. Therefore, the prince may be using Yu Yin to respect another person, and the reason why he accepted the marriage was a small portrait..." She changed the subject.
, "I first thought that the portrait was that of the Ninth Princess. After all, the emperor also favored Concubine Shu at that time. But since the Ninth Princess can marry the Ninth King, why can't she marry the Sixth King, and she and the Ninth King are so loving,
That must not be the case. I heard that Concubine Shu also has a younger sister who practices Buddhism behind closed doors. I guess she has a heart as dry as a dry well. So..."
She just looked at me uncertainly, with a shadow of hesitation in her eyes. I smiled brightly, "Why don't you say Concubine Jing? I am listening to you."
She carefully studied my expression, eager to find any flaw in my face. But I only looked at me with a slightly curious smile. After a long time, she sighed softly, "I don't dare to be suspicious anymore.
Being suspicious is a heinous crime for the prince."
I exclaimed and hurriedly covered my mouth and said: "In that case, sister Jing Fei, please stop being suspicious. It's really scary." I faced the wind by the window, stretched out my hand to pick up a green bamboo leaf that stretched into the long window, and said
: "Now that Concubine Jing has married into the palace, I might as well tell you my experience of living in Ziao City for many years: Suspicions can easily give rise to ghosts. Many things, the more you think about them and the more you are afraid, the easier it will be for others to be fooled.
For example, if she notices trouble, she is the head of the concubines and holds a high position. But if she had to weigh and speculate on the people and things in Ziao City every day, how could she enjoy such a happy life as she does now?
, He who does not worry too much is a wise man.”
She frowned, with a fearful look on her face, "I hope so. If this matter is taken seriously, it will definitely bring disaster to the prince's life, which is unimaginable."
I didn't even raise my head, I just lowered my head and fiddled with the round green emerald bead ring on my finger, and said calmly: "There is no evidence, of course I won't take it seriously. I have said that Sister Jingfei is overthinking during pregnancy."
She stood up and said goodbye, "Okay. Just think of it as my concubine. I am now the one who sleeps with the prince. Many things cannot be seen by outsiders except the person beside him. The prince is my husband, and everything must be done with me."
Put him first and never let the prince be put in danger."
I smiled and said, "This is how a husband and wife should behave."
She looked at me deeply, as if she wanted to find out something from my face, but she found nothing. The weakness in her eyes gradually filled the air like mist, and she said goodbye in a low voice.
When I saw her disappearing outside the door of Rouyi Palace, I slowly let go of my left hand that had been hidden in my sleeve, and realized that my hands were already covered in cold sweat. You Jingxian might not be able to listen to my words. However, she already had
Who will be noticed next? Once such a secret is torn apart by someone, it will be difficult to preserve all the truth.
While I was deep in thought, Yu Yin suddenly turned out from behind the screen, stared at the direction Jing Xian left for a long time, and called me, "Eldest sister," she uttered a few words coldly, "I can't keep this person!"
I looked back at her, silently wiped away the cold sweat on my palms, and said calmly: "Don't do anything nonsense, she has the prince's child in her belly. And she only has the prince in her heart, and will not do anything to harm the prince."
There was a cold murderous look in Yu Yin's eyes, which was disproportionately reflected on her gentle face like the jade of a young family, "You Jingxian is too smart, and women's hearts are most prone to jealousy. I can't bet on such a possibility."
"Is she jealous, or are you jealous? No matter how this child came about, since it is the prince's child, you can't touch You Jingxian! Otherwise, with the prince's usual gentle temperament, there will be a break between you and him.
There is never any room for maneuver. You have to think carefully about how difficult it is for you to get to where you are today. Are you willing to lose everything for You Jingxian?" I looked at her hard and said, "If you surrender to a rat, you have to be careful."
When Yu Yin opened his mouth, he seemed to spit out countless cold ice beads, "I have my own method that doesn't require any weapons."
That is Qing's child after all! No! No! I was so anxious that I couldn't even think about my tone, "If you really do something to his child, don't blame me for not caring about sisterhood! Don't forget what you did.
Became the concubine of King Qinghe?"
Yu Yin was stunned, looked straight at me and said, "How can I become the prince's concubine?" The pupils in her eyes shrank fiercely, then she smiled and said: "Of course, marriage is a gift from God, and it must be fulfilled by the eldest sister."
I looked at her rich attire, gold and jade, and sighed softly, "Yuyin, you have perfected yourself. Otherwise, how could that little portrait fall out by such a coincidence?"
Her eyelashes trembled violently, like feathers hanging down, avoiding my sharp gaze, "Are you kidding me, eldest sister?"
I shook my head, "I'm not joking with you, and I don't care about it. It's just something that You Jingxian would be suspicious of. Haven't I ever been suspicious? I just thought that you were my sister and that you were infatuated with the prince.
But if you really have the idea of hurting the prince’s bloodline, I will tell the matter to the prince. Think about it, can the prince tolerate someone who uses his relationship with me to plot every step? Can he tolerate it?
The next person who is deliberately trying to harm his bloodline?"
Yu Yin blurted out: "Sister, you know I always love Han'er and Lingxi the most!"
"They are your nephews. As an aunt, you naturally love them." I took a breath and said slowly: "You Jingxian is carrying the prince's legitimate child. You are also the child's nominal mother, so you should love her even more.
"I reached out and shook her hand, both to comfort and to warn, "The second young lady of the Zhen family, the concubine of King Qinghe, should be virtuous and virtuous."
The murderous aura in Yu Yin's eyes gradually narrowed, condensing into a point as bright as a needle, and slowly retreated behind her long eyelashes. It was replaced by a bit of confusion and fear. She quietly shed a drop of tears and muttered: "Eldest sister
, you have always understood that I was infatuated. At that time, I was also confused and blinded. Seeing that the prince was thinking about his eldest sister while he was ill, I was afraid that something would happen if this continued, so I attracted the attention of the little elephant and thought of this way to make Li Daitao freeze. "
She said sadly: "Your Majesty, you can't become the eldest sister and live alone all your life, right?" She paused and said, "I was so angry just now. Since I feel sorry for Your Majesty, I naturally can't let go of the child."
I calmed down my tone and waved my hand gently, "Things in the past are not important, and I have no intention of exploring them anymore." I said seriously: "I was out of breath just now, either because I was planning for the prince or because I was worried about the Zhen family.
, it’s okay to be afraid of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother values You Jingxian, and this is the first child of the Qinghe Palace, so there must be no mistakes. You must take good care of You Jingxian, and you must also know how to avoid suspicion."
Yu Yin Zhen nodded her head gently and agreed. She smiled bitterly, "I'm so confused, I don't know anything!"
I looked at her and said calmly: "You have said this many times just now."
Her eyes were firmly fixed on a point in the distance, as if she was at a loss and thoughtful. Gradually, a low sob came out of her throat, "It's a prophecy. I really regret that I just said nonsense."
." She stared at me helplessly, "Sister, if I hadn't tested you like this just now, this wouldn't have come true, right?"
I looked at her, feeling a little pity in my heart, "Whether you mean it or not, this is the end of the matter, just worry about the future."
Within a few days, news of You Jingxian's pregnancy spread throughout Ziao City, and no one inside or outside the palace knew about it. Even when she went to pay her respects, she saw a smile on the Queen Mother's lips, "It's really a rare blessing. What happened with the hidden concubine?"
Although it is a good story, it was Jingxian who was lucky enough to come out on top after all." At that time, Yuyin, Jingxian and Xuanqing were all sitting there. Xuanqing was a little embarrassed and looked back at Yuyin, but the end of his eyes was in front of me.
It blows on me, and it feels so cool, like the wind blowing helplessly.
After all, I stood up and congratulated him first: "Congratulations to the Sixth Prince, congratulations to Concubine Jing." Then I smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother has been worrying about the heir of the Sixth Prince for many years, and now she can feel at ease."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and left Xuan Qing and others to have a meal in the palace. I thought it would be inappropriate to meet each other, and Concubine Jing also said that she was "tired", so she left early. The three of them left side by side and walked ten steps.
Outside, Xuanqing followed Jingxian's pace, and Yuyin was gradually left behind. The two of them walked together, and Yuyin followed. I sighed lightly and said nothing else.
