"Is today a day to greet the queen? Okay, I understand." Xia Luoluo responded tiredly and called Song Zhu in to wait on her to dress.
"Your Highness, who is that man?" Although she shouldn't ask, Song Zhu still had the courage to ask.
After all, he was a confidant around him, and Xia Luoluo was not angry about this question. He sat in front of the mirror and answered calmly.
"His Royal Highness the Night King~~'
"Ye~~His Royal Highness Night King?" The comb in Song Zhu's hand fell to the ground with a bang, her face full of disbelief, "It's really him? How is it possible?"
"It is indeed him." Xia Luoluo was in a good mood and explained, "This princess has uncovered his jade mask, and that deep scar is undoubtedly Wei Chenyi.
Song Zhu was still deeply surprised: "The Night King refused to marry the princess back then, so why did he come to provoke Her Royal Highness now? What on earth does he want to do?"
"Song Zhu~~" Xia Luoluo looked at her like a knife, "Is this something you should take care of?"
"Your Highness Princess, please calm down. This slave is too talkative."
"Wait for this princess to change."
Xia Luoluo said in a deep voice, tilting her neck to stroke the hickey with her fingertips. Fortunately, it was winter and the fur collar could be tied high to cover it.
But it doesn't matter if people see her. Isn't she favored by the prince?
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess." Song Zhu responded, quickly picked out clothes and waited on Xia Luoluo to put them on, then put on a thick cloak, picked up the stove, and took a chariot to the Jade Phoenix Palace.
In the Jade Phoenix Palace, today is the day when all the concubines from the East Palace come to pay their respects to the Queen. The two concubines and five Liang Di arrived early in the morning, but only the Crown Princess and Ding Xiaolian did not arrive.
Ding Xiaolian had a miscarriage and the child could not come, so the Crown Princess was actually late.
Queen Zhou's expression remained as usual, and she was not angry because of it. She sipped tea and chatted with the two concubines.
"The Song Dynasty's concubine's clothes are novel and very beautiful.'
Concubine Song's face suddenly filled with joy, she stood up and bowed, "Thank you, the Empress, for the compliment."
The side concubine of the Song Dynasty, whose maiden name was Song Yulan, was the legitimate daughter of Song Zhi, the Minister of Rites, and Song Xiang, the Marquis of Honor and Lu, who were brothers. They were also from prominent families. Unfortunately, they were not able to live up to expectations, and they gave birth to three daughters, all of whom were daughters.
After praising Concubine Song, Queen Zhou's eyes fell on Concubine Zhou and she also praised her a few words.
Concubine Zhou was the daughter of Empress Zhou's cousin. Empress Zhou's mother's family had only one daughter. Later, she lost her fertility after a miscarriage.
After saying a few words to the two concubines, Empress Zhou looked at Zhong Liangdi, who was pregnant.
"Zhong Liangdi needs to be well cared for when she is pregnant. Don't be careless like Ding Liangdi, which leads to the loss of the child and the destruction of the body."
"Yes, I have written down the Queen's words." Zhong Liangdi responded respectfully.
Zhong Liangdi is the great-niece of the Empress Dowager. The Empress has some conflicts with the Empress Dowager, so she doesn't pay much attention to Zhong Liangdi. However, now she is the only one in the East Palace who is pregnant, and she might be able to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. Empress Zhou is very interested in her.
His attitude made a 180-degree turn, and his face was filled with concern.
"Has Imperial Physician Zhong checked Zhong Liangdi's pulse? Can he tell whether he is male or female?"
"Doctor Zhong said that there is a high probability that it is a boy." Zhong Liangdi said calmly, suppressing her pride in her heart.
"Really?" A gleam of light bloomed in Queen Zhou's eyes, "It will be a good life for you. From now on, there will be no need to ask for greetings or anything else."
"Yes, I obey." Zhong Liangdi stood up quickly and thanked her.
Empress Zhou waved her hand, "Sit down quickly, all etiquette is waived."
As he was talking, footsteps were heard outside, and Crown Princess Xia Luoluo arrived.
The fur-collared cloak on his body was tied high to his neck, which made his skin as white as snow. He came to the queen and curtsied in front of him.
"I, my concubine, send my regards to the queen mother." Only the head concubine can address the queen as the queen mother. This is the honor that only the head wife can enjoy.
"There is no need to be polite, Crown Princess, please sit down." The Crown Princess has been late for so long, but the smile on Queen Zhou's face remains unchanged, and her expression remains unchanged. She was the winner of the last harem battle, and she has long developed the habit of not expressing her emotions.
Good color skills.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xia Luoluo thanked her and sat down in her place. Her smile was generous and respectful, and her facial skills were not inferior to those of Empress Zhou, even though she had already blamed Empress Zhou thousands of times in her heart.
On the day she got married, the queen sent her chamberlain's father-in-law to give her the "silver frost fragrant charcoal" from Zhaoshu Palace that only noble people can burn. Oh, what a "silver frost fragrant charcoal". If you smell it, your body will be completely destroyed.
She is also infertile! Is this the "noble treatment" she received as the majestic princess of Qi?
Don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind. I, the eldest princess of Da Qi, will definitely give birth to a son of the "Night King" and hand over the world of Great Zhou to the hands of the "Night King".
"The Crown Princess looks a little tired. Is it because she didn't sleep at night?" The Queen took a sip of tea and looked at Charlotte with a smile.
"When I return to my mother, the weather in the north is cold and I haven't gotten used to it yet." Charlotte replied calmly and generously.
"Then burn two more charcoal pots that night, so it will naturally stay warmer."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Xia Luoluo responded calmly, but with hatred in her heart, she asked her to burn more musk-scented charcoal~~ Haha, what a 'good' thought!
After chatting for a while, the queen stood up and said, "Let's all go back. By the way, there will be a palace banquet in the palace in the next five days, so we should all prepare well."
"Yes, I would like to send you my congratulations to the Queen." All the concubines in the East Palace bowed their knees and saluted.
After the queen left, the other concubines waited for Crown Princess Xia Luoluo to move. Xia Luoluo glanced at Zhong Liangdi with an indifferent expression and walked out of the palace.
Now she doesn't need to fight for favor, but she doesn't care about other women's bellies at all. She has the Night King's special favor and it's only a matter of time before she gets pregnant. As long as the prince comes once or twice occasionally, then the son of the Night King will be the legitimate emperor in the future.
Sun.
The throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty will belong to her son sooner or later, so is there any need to take other women seriously?
Zhong Liangdi was stung by her confident appearance, gritted her teeth and chased after her.
"The Crown Princess." She said with a harmless smile, "The Crown Princess looks a little tired, don't you need to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Xia Luoluo looked at her with a smile: "Does Zhong Liangdi have a good doctor to recommend?" She asked this deliberately. Ding Xiaolian was given abortion pills but Doctor Zhong didn't mention it, which showed that there was something wrong with Doctor Zhong.
If Zhong Liangdi wants to recommend Dr. Zhong to her, haha~~
Xia Luoluo simply stopped and looked at Zhong Liangdi with an aunt smile on her face.
Xia Luoluo grew up in the Daqi Palace, and her scheming skills are more than one level higher than Zhong Liangdi's. Who can guess her thoughts?
Zhong Liangdi said with confidence, "I don't dare to recommend this concubine. I just heard that Dr. Zhong is very knowledgeable in medical skills and can always find ways to prescribe the right medicine."
"Really? Then I have to summon him to have a good look." Xia Luoluo smiled heartily, and sincerely thanked Zhong Liangdi, and then left.
Zhong Liangdi narrowed her eyes and watched Xia Luoluo leave, with a satisfied smile on her face.
