Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 156 Cining Palace

Time always passes slowly when people have nothing to do. It was only a few days before the New Year, but Yao Jinse still felt that these few days had passed very slowly. It might be because she was always thinking about her family. Although her father and mother wrote back to say that the family was prepared for this matter, she was still a little worried.

After all, once this matter is exposed, it would be a very serious matter. The reason why the imperial concubine has not been pregnant is related to the interests of many parties. The core is actually that their emperor does not allow it. Therefore, the imperial physician adds some special things to the imperial concubine's daily diet and medicine, and these things should be unknown to others.

The Imperial Medical Bureau would not find it troublesome. This kind of thing cannot be done openly. After all, the Duke's Mansion is so powerful and influential that even the emperor himself needs to be wary of it, not to mention those insignificant imperial physicians. Anyone who does these things has to do it with their heads on the line. How could they possibly let outsiders find out?

So, logically speaking, Yao Jinse shouldn't have known all this. What she is most worried about now is how the imperial concubine would react once she knew the truth. So if they could find an experienced female doctor, that would be the best. If that doesn't work, finding a midwife who doesn't have much ability but has many years of experience would also be good. With this trip, Yao Jinse's future affairs would be easier.

After all, Xie Yun'an didn't really want the imperial concubine to get pregnant with his child. He just didn't want Imperial Concubine Rong to get pregnant so early. He did have real feelings for Imperial Concubine Rong. It would be best if the child could be born after the fall of the Duke's Mansion.

According to what Yao Jinse remembered, after the fall of the Duke's Mansion, the emperor did stop giving Concubine Rong medicine. However, although Concubine Rong was pregnant in the later period, she was unable to keep the baby. She even had a miscarriage, which weakened her body and eventually led to her death from depression.

Now that we know it in advance, we should be able to make some preparations. No matter what, the fall of the Duke's Mansion is inevitable, unless the Duke's Mansion rebels in advance. But if the heirs of the Duke's Mansion can do such a thing, it at least shows that they have some scheming, and they will not end up with their family broken up.

……

On the day of the New Year's Eve party, Yao Jinse got up early to prepare.

Although she still has the title of assistant manager of the harem, it is just an empty title. If the Empress does not assign her any work, she will have no work to do. Yao Jinse naturally knows that the reason for this is that the Empress does not want the Imperial Concubine to cause trouble for her in front of the Emperor on the day of the New Year's Eve Banquet. But she was actually blaming Yao Jinse wrongly by thinking so. After all, even though she was attached to the Imperial Concubine, Yao Jinse would not listen to the Imperial Concubine in everything.

Many things can be done if they can be done, and forget about it if they cannot be done. There is no need to put your whole self into one thing. A bright future should not be wasted on a small thing. What's more, Yao Jinse has already begun to find a way out for herself. She helped the imperial concubine just hoping that imperial concubine Rong could hold on a little longer. After all, she never forgot that in this harem, the person who really survived to the end was not imperial concubine Rong, nor the queen, but Qiao Yanran, who is now trying to protect herself.

Look at them, if they can survive to the end, it naturally means that they have some strengths.

The purpose is clear, the action is steady, accurate and ruthless, and at the same time, he has made many connections in the harem. Yao Jinse should learn some of these abilities and use them for herself. She doesn't have a beautiful appearance like Qiao Yanran, so she can only work harder on other things. ...

In the Cining Palace, Shen Qingyin lowered her eyes, looking at the exquisite white porcelain teacup in her hand, and decided to remain silent.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the guest list and menu sent by the Queen, and listened to the report from the palace maid beside her.

As the Empress Dowager, the most noble woman in the world, she naturally benefited from good maintenance, and she had a virtuous daughter-in-law like the Queen. In fact, the Empress Dowager did not usually care about things. It was just that the first New Year's Eve banquet since entering the palace was indeed a bit beyond the scope for the Queen. Even if there was a promising precedent there, the Queen did not dare to make a decision on her own, so she turned around and pushed the blame on the Empress Dowager.

Although the Queen Mother did not want to get involved, she had to do it. As a mother-in-law, it was her job to help her daughter-in-law with the things that she could not handle. Moreover, if this matter was not handled well, it would not be the Queen's face that would be lost, but the Emperor's face.

Thinking of her troublesome son, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a headache.

After reading it once, I didn't find any problems with it. After all, it has been confirmed so many times, there shouldn't be any problems.

She waved her hand and handed the list to the maid beside her. She looked at Shen Qingyin and said, "In the future, there is no need for the queen to run back and forth for small matters like lists. Just tell the servants to deliver them. As the queen, you should focus on the big things. What's the point of worrying about these trivial matters all day long?"

After all, she was the daughter-in-law she had chosen personally. Even if she was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, the empress dowager had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill. Otherwise, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?
Shen Qingyin raised her head slightly, her expression very respectful, but she felt bitter inside.

Could it be that she doesn't want to have some free time?

It is obvious that the Queen Mother is causing trouble every now and then. Today, this Concubine Dowager has problems, and that Princess is not good either. The seats have to be arranged according to categories during a meal. This person and that person cannot sit together. This Marquis's wife and that Princess don't have a good relationship... She would not have had to take care of these things in the past, but now that she is in charge, there must be no problems. But the one who causes her the most problems is the Queen Mother. She said that the Queen is in charge of the New Year's Eve Banquet, but tonight is the day of the banquet, and the seats for the guests have only been decided. Is she, the Queen, being lazy?
However, these words can only be said in my heart, and cannot be said openly.

The Queen pretended to listen attentively, and the Queen Mother naturally did not sit idle either. She said coldly: "The Emperor has been staying in Chengqian Palace these days. Does the Queen know about this matter?"
