Chapter 146 All anxious

After Xie Yun'an sat down completely, the place finally started to get lively.

Many new concubines who had not seen the emperor for a long time began to toast Xie Yun'an one by one. The tea that the queen had painstakingly prepared before now became a accompaniment to help them sober up. Xie Yun'an was in high spirits, so naturally his eunuchs arranged everything. Not to mention that the queen had already made some preparations for this banquet, and the imperial kitchen just had to work harder to prepare more hot food and send it over.

Since the emperor is interested, those present will naturally not spoil his mood. If the place was not inappropriate, Yao Jinse would suspect that this group of women who are good at singing and dancing would perform directly in the center of the venue. It can be seen that Xie Yun'an has not appeared in front of everyone in the harem during this period, which really makes everyone anxious.

What's the rush?

Yao Jinse put down the cup in her hand with a smile. Just now, she and Concubine Rong drank a glass of wine together from a distance. It seemed that the Concubine was not angry at all, but looked very happy. She was probably thinking of something happy, or heard something funny.

It’s just that it’s a bit far away, so it’s not very suitable to walk down.

Yao Jinse was guessing in her heart who the queen wanted to recommend. She was completely unaware of this matter. Just like this banquet, her situation was getting worse and worse. It seemed that there was an opportunity to change the outcome, but in fact, as things gradually began to develop not according to her impression, many things became quite troublesome.

Without the advantage of foresight, many things can only be dealt with in advance and by adapting to circumstances. Even if a god came, there is no guarantee that he could calculate the changes in everyone's hearts, and Yao Jinse certainly couldn't do that. All she could do was try to know more things so that her layout could become more perfect.

It's just a little more perfect.

In this deep palace, what she has accumulated over the years is actually just a drop in the bucket. It is hard to say whether it can be of any help, so she must protect the imperial concubine so that there will be someone to stand in front of her. Not to mention charging into battle, but at least to shelter her from the wind and rain, so that she can use the tiger's skin as a banner.

It was a good banquet, and naturally both the hosts and the guests were happy. However, whether they were truly happy or pretending to be happy could not be seen on the surface. Yao Jinse originally thought that Concubine Rong would take the opportunity to take the emperor away, and she had already prepared to return to the palace. However, she did not expect that at this critical juncture, Xie Yun'an was suddenly attracted by the Queen's attention to Concubine Qi.

The reason Shen Qingyin used was naturally a very appropriate one. Concubine Qi was now the only pregnant concubine in the palace. Even if the emperor did not intend to raise her position, he should spend more time with her. Concubine Qi usually did not say anything because she was honest and dutiful. The emperor could not ignore her feelings just because she was honest.

To Xie Yun'an, the Queen's words were very new, because in his impression, his first wife would never meddle in these matters. Even when the two of them were in the palace together through thick and thin, he brought Chen Yimiao into the palace for more help and for his own selfish reasons. Shen Qingyin never expressed any opinion on this matter, but continued to manage his palace in order.

Such a woman, at some point, said something that would always carry some weight in a man's heart, not to mention that Shen Qingyin's suggestion was only good for Xie Yun'an and not bad - it was all for the harmony of the harem. The emperor had so many women, he couldn't just rely on Concubine Rong, right? Anyway, as long as she didn't make trouble, who else would be different? Shen Qingyin understood Xie Yun'an's indifferent attitude towards such things. Concubine Rong looked glorious now, but since the attack on the palace, even the eldest prince of Concubine Zhuang was almost fourteen years old after so many years, and she didn't even have a child. How many more years could this glory last?

Can the Duke's Mansion still protect her for the rest of her life?
Shen Qingyin's mind was full of thoughts, and she looked at Concubine Rong with a provocative look in her eyes. However, in Chen Yimiao's view, these things were not a big deal - it was not something to be alarmed about the emperor favoring someone else, it was just what he should do. What's more, the emperor had spent most of his time staying in Chengqian Palace since he ascended the throne. Could it be because there were not enough women in the harem?

Chen Yimiao has always been absolutely confident in this regard. There has never been a shortage of women in the harem, let alone young ones. The emperor likes to stay in Chengqian Palace because she is different from others, so she is not worried about favor.

But then again, not having a child is not the right thing to do.

No matter how favored she was, she was getting older and older. Even though she believed that the love between her and the emperor would keep her in favor, after a few more years, she would not be able to do so even if she wanted to.

Chen Yimiao felt very sorry for not having a child of her own. Even though as a high-ranking concubine she could adopt a child from someone else, how could someone else's child compare to her own blood?
She loved Xie Yun'an deeply, so even though there was a huge age gap between them, she was willing to marry Xie Yun'an as a concubine. The status didn't matter. She chose this man, and she would not regret it no matter what.

Unfortunately, as the spoiled eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she is both the only daughter and the youngest child. With so many of his sons being incompetent, how could the Duke of Qi not give his daughter more plans?

The Duke of Qi just didn't think that he was betting on his daughter's heart. But now, Concubine Rong's troubles may not be solved by the old Duke who is in his twilight years.

When her father couldn't solve a problem, Chen Yimiao chose to ask someone who could give advice.

"You said that I have always been in good health. The imperial physician always said that I was fine when he diagnosed my pulse. But why is there no movement?"

Chen Yimiao's frowning face was also very pretty. Yao Jinse couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, but she didn't fail to give the answer she was supposed to give: "The imperial physicians in the palace have always been cautious in doing things. Your Majesty knows everything in her heart, but she just wants to say it through my mouth."

"They are afraid of taking responsibility, so they are just saying nice things. As long as the queen is healthy, they won't say anything. I heard that there are many ways to keep secrets in the harem. I am worried that some things may not be that the imperial physician has not seen them, but they just don't want to get involved in gossip." Yao Jinse always speaks her mind. In the eyes of the imperial concubine and the people around her, she is the most straightforward person with no ulterior motives. But the imperial concubine likes this person's temperament the most and listens to her the most: "If the queen has any questions in her heart, it is better to find a doctor who is not afraid of these things."
