Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 123 Who uses whom
After leaving Weiyang Palace, the smile on Concubine Chen's face disappeared and she looked a little gloomy.

The personal maid Shanhu didn't dare to say much and silently accompanied her back to Xiefang Palace.

As she entered the palace gate, Concubine Chen suddenly stopped and turned to look at the courtyard to the west. That was Zhou Cainv's residence, Zhiyu Pavilion.

Also in the Zhongcui Palace, the Yingchun Hall where Concubine Chen lived was kept exquisitely clean. On the other hand, for Zhou Cainü, who had fallen out of favor and was under house arrest, the Zhiyu Pavilion looked like a deserted courtyard, and even the gate of the courtyard exuded a sense of desolation.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Lady Chen said calmly.

Coral followed her gaze and understood what her master meant, so she comforted her.

"Don't be discouraged, my beauty. The Queen wants to use your womb to have a prince, but after the baby is born, whether the Queen can take the child to raise it depends on the wishes of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. As long as you are favored, the Emperor will love you and will naturally not give your child to others to raise."

"Yes, as long as I am favored, everything else is secondary now." Ambition was revealed in Concubine Chen's eyes.

The reason why she wanted to harm Zhou Cainv was that she didn't want to see the resources in the hands of the queen tilted and all given to the woman with the surname Zhou in her own family. Now the situation has become what she wants. The queen only has her to use and is supporting her with all her strength, so she should seize the opportunity and move up.

As for the child, she did want to give birth to it, but whether the child would be raised by the queen was not certain.

Lady Chen retracted her gaze, "Who is using whom? It's still unclear."

However, if someone takes a look at the pills given by the queen and finds that they are indeed good, she will take them.

It would be beneficial for her to conceive an imperial heir as soon as possible.

Concubine Chen had her own plans in mind, while in Ninghua Palace, Xie Jiu continued to play badly.

The break lasted for half a month and I became lazy.

The main reason is that since October, the weather has become cooler, sleeping has become particularly comfortable, and I don’t have to get up early, so I get enough sleep every day and my spirit has recovered very well.

During this period, Xie Mingshen delivered a lot of things to the palace, including silver, money, supplements, and everything else. After Xie Jiu accepted them all, he still gave some symbolic gifts in return.

After all, this hypocritical father-daughter relationship still has to be maintained.

It was also at this time that Xie Jiu learned that Xie Mingshen was suffering from a cough and was taking medicine.

So among the things sent out were prescriptions specially written from the Imperial Hospital, as well as several precious medicinal materials. Of course, there were even more things given to Yang.

outside the palace.

Xie Mingshen and Yang received the gifts sent from the palace, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

"Master, look, Jiuer is thinking of you. The prescription from the Imperial Hospital must be better than the ones outside. I will ask someone to get the medicine according to the prescription and boil it for you later." Yang said very virtuously.

"Cough cough cough."

As soon as Xie Mingshen opened his mouth, he started coughing. Yang hurriedly handed him some tea. After he drank two sips, he felt better.

"You can do whatever you want. My illness is really annoying. It was better earlier, but today I've had a cold. I cough a lot in the morning and evening, and I can't sleep well. I hope this prescription from the Imperial Hospital works."

Yang nodded and comforted him, "Master, I think it's because you're too busy these days and always stay up late. It's darker at night, with heavier dew and more cold air, so it must have had some effect. Master, please go to bed early tonight."

Hearing this, Xie Mingshen raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.

"I would like to have some free time. If Wei'er hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on going to Lizhou, and had stayed in the capital to help me all these years, I would have been able to relax a lot. But fortunately, the emperor has issued an edict, summoning him back to the capital. At the end of this year, our family will be reunited."

When he mentioned his son, a soft look flashed in Yang's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and then there was a certain emotion in her eyes, which seemed to be more determined.

However, his words were still gentle, "Master is right, Weier must have had enough experience outside these years, and now that he is back, he will definitely be able to help Master a lot. As the saying goes, father and son fight together in the battlefield, and Master will have someone to take care of him in the court in the future." "Well, go ahead and do your work, I still have things to take care of, you should tidy up Weier's yard, so that they don't feel comfortable when they come back." Xie Mingshen ordered.

Yang responded, stood up and left.

At that time, in the palace, Xie Jiu was too bored staying in Anqing Hall and finally decided to go out for some fresh air.

Where to go?

After thinking it over, Xie Jiu decided to go to Chengming Palace.

During the time she was recuperating, Zhao Xingjin sent her many gifts and visited her several times. Now that she has recovered, he should show some appreciation.

So she grabbed some snacks and a few little gadgets she had embroidered during her free time and went out.

Unexpectedly, I arrived at an inopportune moment. As soon as I reached the door, I heard the sound of a piano coming from inside.

Qingdong, who was guarding the gate, was very sharp-eyed and saw her from a distance. He immediately ran down the stairs to greet her.

"Your servant greets the Concubine. Why is she here? Are you feeling well?"

"No need to be polite, eunuch." Xie Jiu smiled gently. "I've rested for half a month and I'm all better now. I came here today to express my gratitude to the Emperor. Why is there someone inside right now?"

Qing Dong nodded, "It's Lady Chen. She came over this afternoon to serve the pens and ink. Now that the Emperor has finished his work, he wants me to play the piano."

Hearing this, Xie Jiu narrowed his eyes, then curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry I came at an inopportune time. Father-in-law, please take this snack in for me. It's specially made and it's still hot. It would be a waste if I don't eat it. I won't go in and disturb you."

After she said that, Qingdong didn't say anything more. He just took the snacks, bowed, and walked in quickly.

Xie Jiu didn't stop and turned away.

But before she had walked far, she heard Qingdong's voice behind her.

"Jieyu, please stay!" Qingdong jogged after her.

Xie Jiu paused and turned around, "Father-in-law, is there anything else?"

"The emperor invites the concubine to come in and talk. Please follow me." Qing Dong didn't even have time to breathe, his face was full of smiles.

Hearing this, Xie Jiu's lips curled up, and he seemed very happy. He nodded and went to Chengming Palace again.

When he entered the hall, he saw that his snacks were already laid out next to Zhao Xingjin. Next to him, Concubine Chen was sitting behind a guqin, and someone was helping her wipe her hands.

When she saw Xie Jiu, she hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your humble servant greets Concubine Xie."

Xie Jiu smiled at her, turned around and saluted Zhao Xingjin.

"Get up." Zhao Xingjin waved to her, "Come sit next to me. Why are you out today?"

"After resting for this period of time, I feel much better. I feel in good spirits today, so I thought of coming to pay my respects to the emperor and express my gratitude. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that Concubine Chen is here." Xie Jiu said calmly.

Today was indeed an accident. She didn't ask anyone before coming.

Zhao Xingjin nodded. "You look much better now that you're well. It would be good to walk around more."

"Yes, staying indoors all the time without seeing the sun will make people feel bored." Lady Chen took over the conversation.

Xie Jiu smiled, "I just heard the wonderful music coming from this palace, as clear as pearls and jade. I didn't expect that Lady Chen is not only good at dancing, but also good at playing the piano."
