Shen Yixuan's body was taken care of meticulously by Ning Yujin, and within two or three days, she was able to go for a short walk.
When all the concubines in the palace heard the news, they rushed over to pay their respects.
If you want to know the women in the palace, you don't have to do anything. All you have to think about every day is how to dress yourself beautifully, compete with other women, win the attention of the emperor, and win the favor of the Sixth Palace.
So before An was invited, several of the Chang Zai who met outside Kunning Palace had already begun to compare each other.
The man said that this jade bead bracelet was so precious that there were only two in the whole country. The man said that the jade bead bracelet was made of Phoenix jade and was the only one in the world...
After comparing jewelry, they then compared clothes, what material is this one, what workmanship is that one, what pattern is on the skirt, what color is the skirt...
"What's the use of talking about these? No matter how expensive the jewelry is, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, if the emperor doesn't favor them, they are just dead things. If the emperor is willing to favor them, what's the point of them? Look at those concubines and nobles, what? Have you ever cared about this? Those priceless jewels and extremely precious materials were all rewarded to them by the emperor with a wave of his hand. You just want to compare, can you compare with them?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all raised their heads and looked at the person. But after seeing the person clearly, they snorted coldly and turned away.
"With Concubine Liu's support, I won the emperor's favor once, and my back became stiff. I looked at everyone as if I was inferior to others. To put it bluntly, it was just a promise, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Hao Hao agreed. This is called having means. If my sister has the ability and can win the emperor's favor once, wouldn't she have nothing to fear from her?"
"I do think so, but lately the Emperor has been staying in the Queen's Palace whenever he has free time. He doesn't even have time to talk to the two concubines, let alone the rest of us."
A few of them were whispering to each other, and some of them walked up to Hao Rensheng with smiles and spoke to her affectionately, as if they wanted to have some relationship with Concubine Liu.
Just as he was talking, he heard a eunuch say: "Concubine Hui is here! Lady Ping is here!"
Everyone hurriedly moved out of the way and rushed towards the intruder.
Concubine Hui raised her hands to everyone with a smile on her face: "We are all sisters, so we don't need to be polite."
"Concubine Hui is so kind..."
"Yes, no matter how kind-hearted a person is, has good temperament, and has a good family background, it's hard not to be favored."
"That's right, you see Concubine Liu being so arrogant and domineering. It's scary to look at her. Noble Ping is pretending to be aloof and noble, and it's annoying to look at her. And Noble Li, she doesn't know shit. Looking at it, Concubine Hui is the most generous. Very decent."
A few Chang Zai were talking quietly next to them, but Na Hao promised to glare at them.
"You guys should speak in a lower voice. Since ancient times, those who talk too much will not live long. What's more, which woman who comes into the palace doesn't know how to pretend? If she looks kind, she must be kind."
Several Chang Zai looked at her askance: "Hao Zheng, this is just jealousy."
Hao Yasheng immediately laughed: "Jealous? I'm afraid you'll be sold and you'll have to give me the money."
"Hao promised to take care of himself."
Several Chang Zai casually greeted her, and all of them immediately walked away.
Hao promised to look at Concubine Hui and then at Ping Gui next to him. Without saying anything, he silently walked aside and waited.
At this moment, Cui Yi walked out of Kunning Palace and said to everyone: "Your Majesty is already up, please come in."
Everyone quickly arranged their clothes and hair accessories and followed Concubine Hui into Kunning Palace.
In the hall, Shen Yixuan sat high on the main seat, dressed in bright yellow palace clothes and wearing a nine-tailed phoenix on her head. She leaned on the table casually with her forehead supported by one hand. Every detail was luxurious.
Behind her, an eight-leaf sandalwood carved peony screen unfolded, which looked even more majestic and dignified.
And sitting behind the screen, yawning in boredom, was Ning Yujin, who existed to ensure that Shen Yixuan would not suffer any accidents.
In fact, Shen Yixuan originally thought it was unnecessary. After all, who could attack her in public?
But Ning Yujin shook her head and said, "It's best not to take that risk on this kind of thing."
After all, she has watched too many palace fights on TV. Some people are wearing musk sachets. Who can tell the clues just by looking at them? But if a pregnant woman inadvertently inhales it, the consequences will be disastrous.
So at her insistence, Shen Yixuan couldn't help but let her accompany her throughout the whole process.
And she didn't want to see those gorgeous concubines, so behind the screen was undoubtedly a good choice.
As soon as everyone entered the hall, they greeted Shen Yixuan. Shen Yixuan raised her hands and said, "Everyone, please get up."
All the concubines stood up one after another and took their seats according to their status. Concubine Hui, who was sitting at the front, was the first to speak: "The Queen looks good and seems to be in good health."
Shen Yixuan smiled and said, "Okay, it's better, but it will take some time to grow up. Unlike you, all of you are young and bright, and I would even envy you."
"The Empress is enviable. She is in the queen position, has a mother who respects the world, and is pregnant with the little prince. What a blessing it is." As soon as she agreed, she opened her mouth with a smile and flattered Shen Yixuan.
Shen Yixuan glanced at her and smiled: "You will all be blessed in the future."
When Na Sheng heard this, he seemed to think he was talking to her. He squinted his eyes and secretly thought in his heart that he would also give birth to a prince and show it to everyone present.
Shen Yixuan glanced at everyone and was suddenly surprised: "Huh? Why don't you see Concubine Liu and Noble Li?"
Next to her, Cui Yi hurriedly came to her side and said, "My dear, have you forgotten? A few days ago, noble Oriole made a lot of noise in Kunning Palace and was grounded by the emperor's order?"
"Oh, so that's what happened." Shen Yixuan smiled, stretched out her hand to stroke her hair, and said, "I am so sick that I have a bad memory."
The concubines covered their lips and chuckled: "How can the Queen have a bad memory? She definitely doesn't remember such trivial matters."
"That's right," someone nearby said in a naive tone, "It's best not to remember these terrible things when you're pregnant, so as not to affect your mother's mood."
Ning Yujin immediately said "haha" when she heard this. These flatterers are really good at talking.
However, Concubine Hui was quite reserved and said nothing except a greeting.
Oh, by the way, there was also that Ping Gui man, who never looked at her and spoke a word. He was desolate and aloof, with a bit of Leng Ruyue's aloof temperament.
All in all, this room is full of beauties.
The queen listened to them with a smile on her face, but did not reply to them. She only asked: "What about Concubine Liu? Why didn't she come?"
