Chapter 197 Do you know why Concubine Shu is favored?
After seeing off Nanny Sun, Zhao Xiwei looked at the exquisite box on the table, as if looking at a bomb that would explode at any moment.

Such a box of blushing things, give it to her?
However, she should really remember what Nanny Sun taught.

Because she knew that she didn't have a mother, and there would be no second person to patiently explain such an unspeakable content.

But, do you really want her to do it like in the book?
In fact, she resisted these contents, except that she was shy, mainly because they were teaching a woman how to serve her husband.

……

If after marriage, everything revolves around her husband, even if she cannot sleep peacefully, is that what she wants?

She felt that she should find a compromise way to get along.

A way of getting along that would neither offend the prince nor wrong himself.

When Jinxiu and the others came in, they saw her young lady staring at a box in thought.

Looking at the rouge-like face again, I was even more puzzled.

Several people panicked for a while, thinking that their young lady was ill.

Those who were busy fetching hot water fetched hot water, and those who twisted the towels, pressed Zhao Xiwei and served them carefully: "You have been blowing the cold wind for too long during the day, so you are getting hot again! By the way What about the pill that Dr. Gu prepared this time, take it out and give it to the young lady! Oh, last time, Dr. Gu said that you must not catch the cold again, otherwise you will be in pain at that time!"

Zhao Xiwei let them wipe his hands, and said guiltily, "I'm also feeling a little thirsty, go and get a glass of warm water."

She wasn't being perfunctory.

There seemed to be a fire burning in her heart, which made her mouth dry, perhaps because she was too nervous just now.

You have to overcome your own weakness.

At this time, a notification sounded outside the door: "Sister Mingyu is here."

Mingyu changed into a light blue long trousers, with a moon white tunic underneath, which looked very clean and tidy, without any bright colors.

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but smiled slightly, and got up to greet her: "Sister is here."

Mingyu belongs to Concubine Shu, so naturally she wants to address her as a sister.

Mingyu nodded lightly, accepted her salute, and then bent her knees to return the salute: "Hello, Miss Wei."

After being seated, Mingyu held the teacup and asked straight to the point: "Have you listened to what Nanny Sun taught?"

Zhao Xiwei's embarrassment that had just subsided surfaced again.

Mingyu smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "What Grandma Sun teaches is to tell you how to get a man's favor, but what the servant girl wants to teach is to tell you how to get a man's love."

Zhao Xi looked at Mingyu slightly.

It turned out that this was the real intention of Concubine Shu.

It's not surprising that Concubine Shu, as the first daughter of the Zhao family, naturally puts the interests of the family first.

Mingyu stared at Zhao Xiwei with burning eyes: "Do you know why Concubine Shu is favored?"

Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback.

She had heard a little about Concubine Shu's entry into the palace.

In her opinion, this is completely an exchange of interests, not to mention favoring.

Mingyu smiled, and her face showed a bit of pride, she said slowly: "I don't think you know, since the queen passed away, there has been no newcomer in His Majesty's harem."

"Yes... I've heard of it." Zhao Xiwei couldn't ask her why she mentioned this, so she could only follow her topic, "I heard that the queen was born very beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is beautiful."

"That's natural." Mingyu nodded, "When I entered the palace with Concubine Shu, the queen had passed away for more than a year. It's a pity that I didn't get to see her elegant demeanor. But it can still be judged from other people's mouths that the queen His beauty is the best in the world, otherwise, His Majesty would not be heartbroken."

Empress Gu is Li Xuanye's mother.

Zhao Xiwei thought of Li Xuanye's handsome face, presumably he followed his mother.

Mingyu smiled and said: "The prince's appearance does follow the queen's. It is for this reason that His Majesty has always loved the prince very much. He has been by his side since he was a child and raised him personally. You must know that there has never been an emperor who personally raised a child in history. The precedent of His Majesty's love for the Empress can be seen."

What a proud son of heaven.

If his mother hadn't died young, Li Xuanye's life could be said to be perfect.

Mingyu said: "It's been a year since the Queen passed away, and His Majesty is still immersed in grief. He can only eat very little food every day, and his eyes are too tearful to even read the scriptures, and he often wakes up in the middle of the night because of heartache. Unable to fall asleep, at that time the candles in the Zichen Palace were always lit all night, and none of the servants in the palace dared to close their eyes."

Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised: "Then Concubine Shu was very difficult when she first entered the palace."

The emperor was overly worried, the concubines were staring at him, and the queen mother was ruthless.

How did a 15-year-old girl win the favor of the emperor in such a situation where there were wolves before and tigers behind?
"Yes." Mingyu caressed the porcelain white teacup, and said slowly: "But our Concubine Shu still managed it."

She laughed, the corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc.

"At that time, everyone disliked our Concubine Shu, and everyone laughed at our Zhao family behind their backs, but Concubine Shu managed to do it. Now she is the only concubine in the harem who can still be favored by His Majesty."

Zhao Xiwei looked at her smiling face, only to realize that behind her cautiousness, there was a lot of pride and confidence hidden.

It is precisely because of this self-confidence that her prudence does not give people the feeling of deep scheming, but instead has a kind of calmness and reliability.

To be able to train such an excellent maid, maybe Concubine Shu is also such a person, right?
"The only concubine who can still be favored by His Majesty—do you know what this means?" Mingyu suddenly looked at Zhao Xiwei.

What does it mean?
When the empress died, His Majesty was indifferent to the Six Palaces, most likely because of the prince's status.

——The prince has no mother's family. If any concubine gives birth to a little prince at this time, it will be equivalent to an extra danger for the prince.

Now the emperor only favors concubine Shu because the prince has grown up.

Even if Concubine Shu gives birth to a little prince, it is impossible to pose any threat to the prince.

Even considering such a possibility, it can be seen how deep His Majesty's feelings for Queen Gu are.

Mingyu nodded, "So, it's not hard to imagine how difficult it is for us Concubine Shu."

"Emotionally, His Majesty was immersed in the pain of losing his wife at that time, and he had no time to look at other women."

"In terms of benefits, the Zhao family was implicated in the Taixue case at that time, and the whole family was counting on her to help the family. Even your father was too busy to take care of himself, and no one could give her any support."

Mingyu looked deeply at Zhao Xiwei: "And your current situation is only worse than that of Concubine Shu, and the danger you face is a hundred times more terrifying than that of Concubine Shu."
