Chapter 386 Fighting for Grace

Today, the incense in Yongyan Palace is particularly strong. In name, Concubine Xuan burns incense and prays for Concubine Jing, but in fact, she recites scriptures so diligently to worship Buddha in order to be able to sleep peacefully.

Since the day when Concubine Jing was crazy, Concubine Xuan had not slept well for a day. She either woke up in the middle of the night or had nightmares. Although Concubine Jing did not need her to take care of herself, the emperor's alienation always made her feel heartbroken. In addition, she had not had a good sleep in her completeness, Concubine Xuan was as haggard as Concubine Jing.

After the accident of Concubine Jing, everyone knew her status in the emperor's heart. It was really unmatched. Not only did he become the first concubine to spend the night in Xuande Hall, but he was also deeply favored by the emperor, feeding food, feeding water, changing clothes, and dressing up... He would do his best to help Concubine Jing whenever Shen Yixiang could help.

On the other hand, Concubine Xuan could only see the emperor by visiting Concubine Jing. She never felt that her status with Concubine Jing was so disparate in the emperor's heart. Even when she competed for favor with Concubine Yi, she was not as disappointed as she was now.

At that time, Concubine Xuan was just a small nobleman, but Concubine Yi was the emperor's legitimate wife. It was natural that he would become the queen's concubine. Man's plan was not as good as God's plan. Concubine Yi was dragged down by her family for a lifetime. Nine clans were killed. Concubine Yi also burned herself to death in Hanlian Mansion, leaving only the baby Yu'er crying helplessly, as if her tender heart really understood the grief of her biological mother's death.

Concubine Xuan had only one daughter to love at that time, but she was deeply loved by the emperor because of her advantage as the eldest princess. Especially after Concubine Yi left, Concubine Xuan took the initiative to take care of Shen Yiyu, and even if she blamed Shen Yihan, she would do anything.

At that time, Concubine Xuan was very sensible. With her family background, her eldest princess and Shen Yiyu, who was named the crown prince in less than half a year, were successfully named the imperial concubine by the emperor, but this imperial concubine has been 20 years old and has never realized her dream of becoming the queen.

"Mother, are you so focused on praying for Concubine Jing? You are so hardworking, Han'er feels sorry for you." Shen Yihan ignored Madam Qin's blocking and rushed straight into the Buddhist temple, interrupting Concubine Xuan who was trapped in memory.

"I am not pure in my heart, and I was distracted just now. Han'er is here to chat with my mother and be generous." Concubine Xuan was carefully helped up by her beloved daughter.

"Mother, Han'er misses you. You have been busy with Yu'er's marriage before, so I dare not disturb you." Shen Yihan hugged Concubine Xuan and acted coquettishly, but the belly between the mother and daughter was a little inappropriate.

"Han'er, you will be a mother soon. Be cautious in your words and deeds. Don't ignore them like this. You should treat the prince-consort as well. Don't do things that are bad for the child." Concubine Xuan was very worried about Shen Yihan's behavior of directly embracing her with her bulging abdomen. She only hopes that her daughter will be safe and smooth. Pregnancy and childbirth will be a disaster for women.

"We are usually very careful." Shen Yihan was a little embarrassed. She didn't know if her mother's words meant something.

"Jingyu dares not take good care of you mother and son, and you don't have to come forward. Your father will have to punish him first." Concubine Xuan said angrily. Fortunately, there was no concubine in the Murong Mansion to compete with Shen Yihan, which made her very pleased.

"Mother, is your father okay? At the wedding ceremony two days ago, Han'er felt that his father was very haggard." Shen Yihan wanted to speak but stopped, looking at the haggardness of the person in front of him. The daughter was so sad that she felt in her eyes, but she didn't dare to ask a word.

"It's not that I'm working day and night for Concubine Jing. I also feel sorry for your father. Otherwise, I would not be able to recite scriptures and worship Buddha so devoutly. I just hope that Jing Yi will get better soon and don't torture everyone anymore." Concubine Xuan sighed helplessly, and she was even more worried about Concubine Jing's half-dead crazy appearance.

"Fortunately, I didn't get married, otherwise I could take care of Concubine Jing's bed every day." Shen Yihan sighed. She only hoped that her mother would be healthy and happy.

"What? If this palace needs Han'er, the prince-consort will not agree to you going back to the palace to take care of your mother's mother?" Concubine Xuan was sensitive and suspicious.

"What's the matter? Don't worry, Mother, Jingyu is the most understanding and reasonable." Shen Yihan's face was filled with happiness when he mentioned his husband.

"When the mother has no major problems, she will not trouble Han'er easily. She will work harder in the future." Concubine Xuan smiled helplessly. She decided that if she could not see Dugu Xiaomeng again in the past two days, she would send the palace servants to the Crown Prince's Mansion to teach and supervise the Crown Prince's House to learn the court etiquette.

"Does the Crown Princess always come to see her mother?" Shen Yihan couldn't hear the sarcasm in Concubine Xuan's words.

"There is nothing. It's because I never saw her again after getting married. I should discipline her so as not to be arrogant if she doesn't understand etiquette and is arrogant~" Concubine Xuan frowned slightly. As the lord of the harem, he should naturally fulfill his responsibilities of disciplineing the Crown Princess.

"Didn't Yu'er and Xiaomeng come to pay their respects to their mother?" Shen Yihan was very confused.

"I have been married for a few days? I haven't even seen a personal figure in this palace, so is Yu'er. I often come to visit me before getting married. Now I have a legitimate wife and forget my mother. Alas~" Concubine Xuan treated Shen Yiyu as her biological prince to cultivate and take care of him.

"Then are they going to pay their respects to their father?" Shen Yihan thought that the new couple had just ignored her mother.

"It shouldn't be. I have specifically asked Eunuch Su." Concubine Xuan had to ask first if she was face-saving, whether the prince neglected her.

"I know that I must be the mother who misunderstood the Crown Princess." Based on the words of Yunguan and Murong Jingyu, Shen Yihan guessed a rough idea.

"How do you say this?" Concubine Xuan was full of suspicion.

"How dare she, a new wife, be disrespectful to her father and mother when she came in? I think it's all about the prince." Shen Yihan was very sure. She had thought the prince was unreliable before and always thought that it would be much better if she got married, but Shen Yiyu actually did something that was dazzled again.

"What's wrong with Yu'er? Could it be that the couple quarreled?" Concubine Xuan determined that the couple was in a newlywed marriage and was unlikely to have any major conflicts.

"Okay, I heard that the prince married a concubine the day before yesterday. Xiaomeng's sister must have been angry about this. How could the bride take a concubine just after she passed the door?" Shen Yihan would definitely slap him twice when he saw the prince, so that he could vent his anger for himself, for his father, mother, and for the prince's concubine.

"Oh, it turns out that there is a hidden truth. Yu'er is too unconsiderable. When will it be bad to take a concubine? It is obvious that he doesn't take the Crown Princess seriously!" Concubine Xuan puts herself in the shoes of the Crown Princess. Even if she puts this matter on herself, she will be so angry that she doesn't want to see her in-laws' family.

"Han'er tells the truth, don't be angry with Mother." Shen Yihan hesitated and decided to tell Concubine Xuan first.

"What else do we have to hide?" Concubine Xuan didn't understand why Shen Yihan was so hesitant today.
