Wei Ning'er smiled mysteriously: "In half a month, the pure imperial concubine will also be pregnant. She must have been extremely disgusted with living second to others for so many years. This dispute between the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine... may be about to happen. If they

Let's start fighting... [ ]" When Wei Ning'er said this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then she said to Lu Yunxi: "You go back to the palace first, and I'll go see the Queen!"

In the Changchun Palace, the Queen fell into deep thought after listening to Wei Ning'er's words. After a while, she said: "It is not bad to use the position of Imperial Concubine to exchange for the tranquility of this palace, but will Pure Concubine really fight for it?"

"Don't worry, the empress. I can't bear to let the child be a trap. Concubine Chun and Concubine Xian are no longer what they used to be. If Concubine Chun doesn't fight, I can make her do it!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"That's very good. There are still nearly four months before I give birth. During these four months, I will try my best not to leave the Changchun Palace and never let Concubine Xian and others take advantage of it. If you can try to let me

It's best if they don't have time to take care of me, but it's just a pain for you!" The queen held Wei Ning'er's hand and said softly.

"Empress, my concubine will be fine. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you!" Wei Ning'er's eyes were full of determination.

"Concubine Xian relies on the Queen Mother to pamper her, and she will definitely make things difficult for you. If there is an emergency, she will send someone to invite me, and... hold on to the emperor tightly, so that you can be safe!" The queen was a little worried.

warned.

"Yes, empress!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly.

After returning to the Yanxi Palace, Wei Ning'er ordered someone to prepare a big gift and went to Zhongcui Palace to see Concubine Chun. A few days ago, she went to congratulate Concubine Chun with everyone in the palace, but today was different from the past. Some things were different.

If you plan early, you will be the first to get there.

Arriving outside the Yanxi Palace, Wei Ning'er asked the servants waiting outside to go in and pass the news.

"Master, listen!" Bingruo whispered in Wei Ning'er's ear.

Wei Ning'er heard the words and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a noise coming from the dormitory.

After arriving for about a quarter of an hour, I saw Lan Xin, the steward of Zhongcui Palace, walking out quickly.

"My concubine, may you be blessed!" Lan Xin said with a slight blessing.

"Auntie, there is no need to be polite. Is it inconvenient for your Majesty to see me at this time?" Wei Ning'er asked with a smile.

"No, our queen asked the servants to come and invite the concubine in!" Lan Xin said and led the way.

As soon as Wei Ning'er stepped into the dormitory, she saw a little palace maid walking out with some panic, carrying pieces of porcelain.

"My concubine's sister is here!" Concubine Chun said with a smile while sitting on the bed.

However, Wei Ning'er saw some clues from the strange flush on her face. She glanced at the carpet that still had some stains and had not been cleaned, and said with a smile: "The fourth princess who met your Majesty a few days ago, how can I be my concubine?"

If you like her very much, come and see the princess."

Concubine Chun took a deep breath and said, "The princess just happened to fall asleep, so I can only worry about my sister waiting for a while!"

How could Wei Ning'er not know that Concubine Chun was so angry just now that the broken porcelain pieces and stains on the carpet were caused by Concubine Chun smashing the food prepared for her by her slaves.

"Concubine, I have nothing to do today, so I will wait for the princess to wake up!" Wei Ning'er paused before saying, "The sisters in the palace have been very leisurely these days, but they will be a little busy from tomorrow on. It's a pity to go there."

The concubine can no longer come to see the little princess every day!"

How could Concubine Chun not know what Wei Ning'er meant? She smiled and said: "Concubine Xian will take care of the affairs of the harem for now, and the sisters will have to get up early and go to Yikun Palace to pay their respects. It's cold today, which is really embarrassing. Concubine Xian's eyes

There is no room for sand in it, sister, you have to be careful!"

"Thank you for reminding me, I should be careful!" Wei Ning'er smiled and said, "Actually, I think, if you weren't in confinement, you would be the one who is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the harem!"

When Concubine Chun heard this, her face changed slightly, and then she smiled and said: "I don't have that ability, and besides, she is deeply loved by the Queen Mother!"

"Your Majesty, you are also deeply loved by the Emperor!" Wei Ning'er responded.

Concubine Chun heard the words, but she smiled and said nothing. After a moment she said: "Lan Xin, you slaves are so stupid, you don't even serve tea to your concubine!"

"I haven't gone out for a while, and even the servants around me have become stupid!" Concubine Chun said with a smile.

"Your Majesty will be pregnant in half a month. It won't be too late to go out then!" Wei Ning'er said quickly.

"It's too late after all!" Concubine Chun sighed.

A meaningful smile appeared on Wei Ning'er's face: "Your Majesty, it's just the beginning, why is it too late? I just came from the Queen's Changchun Palace. The Queen's intention is to invite the emperor to be promoted to an emperor in the next year.

My dear concubine, you can justifiably help her take care of the affairs of the harem, but you also know that the queen is getting heavier and heavier, so she is somewhat unable to do what she wants!"

"Imperial Concubine?" Concubine Chun was immediately moved: "Sister, what you said is true!"

"How dare I lie to my sister? This is what the queen told me personally. Apart from the concubine, only my sister knows about it. The queen naturally likes her. She now has two princes and a princess, and she is deeply loved by the emperor.

If you like me, my sister is the best choice, but... now that my sister is still in confinement, if the Empress proposes... it will be detrimental to my sister!" Wei Ning'er said with a heavy expression.

"The Queen's love is so great that I will never forget it!" A firm look flashed in Concubine Chun's eyes.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then she smiled and said: "The empress also knows that among the people in the harem, whoever has a high status and is favored by the emperor can hold his own destiny in his hands, and only then can he be blessed.

My child, your Majesty, you must always think about the future of the prince and princess. I heard that the late emperor only had one princess who grew up. Naturally, he was so precious that he never married to Horqin. However, the late emperor learned from various princes.

The adopted princesses all married to Horqin grassland without exception. Although the princes-in-law are all very noble, but...after all, they are thousands of miles apart. My dear, you can't bear to see the four princesses marrying to Horqin in the future. It will be difficult for you in your life.

Have we met a few times?"

"This... naturally I don't want to." Concubine Chun took a deep breath and said.

"The only princesses adopted by the emperor now are Heshuo and Princess Wan. But Princess Heshuo and Princess Wan are more than ten years older than our fourth princess. They will get married in a few years. When our fourth princess grows up, who can

Standing in front of the princess? Although the emperor is in his prime, no one can say whether there will be princesses in the future. You also know, my lady, that if you are lucky, the princesses will have princes and princes in Horqin Grassland.

The princess who stays in the capital to serve and travels in the inner court does not have to marry thousands of miles away, but she is a minority after all!"

When Concubine Chun heard this, she clenched her teeth and said after a while: "Even if you can walk in the inner court, I don't care about it. I don't want to marry the princess to the prince."

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she felt happy and then said with a smile: "Then... the queen will have a good confinement period. The queen has said that you should also attend the New Year's Eve family dinner. She will naturally find the right opportunity to help you.

A helping hand!”

"Why would the Queen help me?" Concubine Chun asked after pondering for a moment.

"As you know, Madam, it is not a good thing for one person to dominate!" Wei Ning'er pointed out.

"I understand, you tell the Queen, if she can help me become the imperial concubine, I will definitely not let you down!" Concubine Chun suddenly made up her mind.

"Yes." Wei Ning'er responded with a smile.

After Wei Ning'er left, Lan Xin quietly walked out and said in a low voice: "Empress, are your concubine's words credible?"

Concubine Chun nodded slightly: "Now that Concubine Xian is so powerful and the Empress is pregnant, if she wants to suppress Concubine Xian, the Empress has no choice but to seek cooperation from me, and I will seize this rare opportunity.

I must become an imperial concubine. What I want is not just for you.

The princess has a good prince-in-law... More importantly, the future of the third elder brother and the sixth elder brother, as long as one of them can... then everything will be easily solved. Lan Xin, in this harem

In fact, there is only one person who can truly be carefree and do whatever he wants!"

"Who is it?" Lan Xin was stunned.

"The Queen Mother...this is my wish!" Concubine Chun said with a smile.

When Lan Xin heard this, her eyes widened. When did the master have such ambition?

"Do you think this palace is too whimsical?" Concubine Chun said mockingly.

"No, I think your Majesty is right. There are some things that are uncertain. Our two elder brothers may really have a chance in the future!" Lan Xin said with some excitement.

"Even if there is only a slight chance, I will try my best!" Concubine Chun clasped her hands and said solemnly.

To everyone's surprise, Concubine Xian did not embarrass anyone in the harem for many days. Wei Ning'er and others greeted her every day. She was also extremely polite and let them go back to the palace after saying a few words casually.

"Concubine Xian's thoughts are really elusive!" Lu Yunxi sighed in the main hall of Yanxi Palace.

"Perhaps she has begun to win people's hearts. In the past few days, except for you, me, Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu, the people in the palace have been running to her palace almost every day. Even Chen Guiren, who never walks around casually, also

Gone!"

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi's eyes were full of solemnity: "You and the Queen Mother have a plan, how can Concubine Xian not be on guard, and... the Queen Mother may also have promised her a benefit, as long as the harem is stable and she has arrived at the right place.

When the time comes, the Queen Mother will definitely mention it to the Emperor and make her the Imperial Concubine!"

Wei Ning'er nodded lightly: "The Queen has also expected this. We will see if there is a final decision on New Year's Eve tomorrow."

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are the days for the emperor's family banquet, and the banquet begins after the end of the day.

In the middle of the Qianqing Palace, facing south and facing north, there is the emperor's golden dragon banquet table, the queen's golden dragon banquet table is on the left, and the queen mother's golden dragon banquet table is on the right.

On the ground floor of the Qianqing Palace, banquet tables for the main seat of the inner court are arranged in a row from east to west.

The west head table: Concubine Xian, the second table Concubine Yu, the third table Yi concubine, the fourth table Shu concubine, and Chen Guiren; the east head table contains Concubine Chun, the second table Concubine Jia, the third table concubine, Concubine Lu, and several tables for accompanying guests.
