Queen is fearless

Chapter 204 List
What Wen Xiuyuan was thinking, and how she guessed, even your concubine did not know.

After lunch, she left Fengyang Palace. She was very happy along the way.

Holding the hand stove given by the queen in her hand, Concubine Lian returned to Yichun Pavilion.

"My lord, Zhong Cui Palace sent someone to deliver things." As soon as he entered the room, he heard the palace man report back, and even the noble concubine's eyes fell on the table.

"Isn't this..." Seeing that the brocade box looked familiar, Concubine Lian reached out to pick it up, opened it and took a look, "Ye Mingzhu? What are you giving me this thing for?"

She has no feelings for Ye Mingzhu, especially the pair of Ye Mingzhu, who have been to Fengyang Palace before.

"This Wen Xiuyuan, is he trying to warn me, or is it something else?" After closing the brocade box and putting it back on the table, Concubine Lian's expression turned cold.

On the side, the little maid did not dare to speak, she has been in the Yichun Pavilion, and Zhongcui Palace sent someone to deliver things, how dare she refuse to accept them?
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you, this night pearl... I don't care for it, you two each have one, let's put it in the room to illuminate it."

Holding the stove in hand, Concubine Lian walked towards the inner room. The two remaining maids in the room couldn't help but look at each other after hearing what she said, their faces full of shock.

Presumably, it was unexpected that Concubine Lian Gui would give them such a precious thing casually.

Although in the eyes of the masters of the harem, the night pearl may not be very rare, but in the eyes of the servants, it is a night pearl, at least worth a lot of money.

Just such a sentence, and rewarded them?The two couldn't believe it, so the brocade box was still placed on the table, untouched.

Back in the inner room, Concubine Lian looked around, found a place for the hand stove, and placed it properly.

She sat on the bed, took off her shoes, sat cross-legged, looked at the stove and giggled.

After the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, I can get a new hand stove with the empress. This is the empress's favorite trick, and now it is rewarded to her.

The more she thought about it, the happier Concubine Lian felt.

"Why has there been no news from Fengyang Palace for so long?" In Zhenxia Pavilion, Concubine Xia was sitting at the table, frowning tightly.

God knows, how much effort she spent in order to send the tampered stove into Fengyang Palace?
It took a lot of effort just to find a way to replace the hand stove in the palace.

Muttering to herself, she dared not speak loudly for fear that others would hear her.

In case someone else finds out and tells the queen, wouldn't it be impossible to achieve my own plan?

The palace servants who stood by were already used to this for their young master, they didn't speak a word, they just acted like they didn't know anything.

They really didn't know, because from the beginning to the end, Concubine Xia was busy on her own.

"It's so cold today, I can't even go out for a walk." After muttering in a low voice, she amplified her voice, very impatient.

"Be at peace, my lord. After a few days, it will be warmer." After the new year, it will gradually warm up.

"Of course I know, it will get warmer in a few days, but at that time, the emperor will go to court, how can I be so free now?"

Concubine Xia was calculating, looking for an opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor.

"Up to now, I don't know who can participate in the New Year's Eve palace banquet. The empress is..."

Originally, Concubine Xia wanted to say, 'Is the empress dead? ', but this is the imperial palace, even if the palace people around them dare not spread the word, there is no guarantee that the walls have ears.

If you say this, it's fine if you don't spread it out. If it gets out, not only yourself, but the whole family will be implicated.

Thinking of this, she sighed and became more and more irritable.

"Don't worry, my lord, you are new to the palace, and your name will never be lost no matter what."

Regarding this matter, the palace people were not sure, but according to the rules, it should be so.

"If there is my name, I must dress up so that the emperor will notice me."

In the twelfth lunar month, she no longer needs to copy Buddhist scriptures, so she is inevitably ready to move.

The palace servants did not speak. Although Concubine Xia Gui was a bit pretty, she was not unusual in the harem.

Even though they were people around Concubine Xia, they were all fortunate enough to meet the empress, with such looks, it was no wonder that the emperor did not enter the harem.

"Speaking of which, after the new year, the empress will soon give birth, right?" At the end of June, the empress was diagnosed as pregnant.

When the first month comes, it will be eight months, and it is said that she is pregnant in October, and it will not be long before she gives birth.

"I heard that they are twins. If one is born, accidents may happen. The queen will have two at once..."

There was a stern look in the eyes, if something unexpected happened when the queen was giving birth, how good would it be?
It doesn't matter whether the two children are born or not, as long as the queen is gone, it doesn't matter.

Of course, it would be even better if the queen disappeared together with the children.

The palace servants in the room looked at each other because of Xia Guibi's words, with fear on their faces.

"You'd better forget what I just said, otherwise..."

If it's someone else, she may not have that many skills, but she can still check the people around her very clearly.

Their family members are in the hands of their own family members. If they dare to betray themselves, their family members will have to be buried with them.

"The servants didn't hear anything." In the room, there were two regular attendants, Concubine Xia Gui never let them leave the left and right, just watched from under her nose.

Therefore, in front of them, she sometimes has scruples and sometimes has no scruples when she speaks. This is because the two of them are determined, and she dare not say a word outside.

Of course, there is no chance to go outside.

"Okay, let's all get up." When they were replying just now, the two of them knelt down, and Concubine Xia waved her hands.

"You are safe and sound. In the future, I will be favored by the emperor. I can't treat you badly. Your family members will also be honored."

"Yes." The two of them agreed, and stood up tremblingly. Seeing them like this, Xia Guipin curled her lips.

"Your Majesty, this is the list for the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, please have a look." The list was delivered before, and Gu Jinzhi didn't bother to read it.

Even talking about your concubine today, she also remembered it, Hongxiu presented the list, Gu Jinzhi reached out to take it, and probably looked it over.

On the list, the three newcomers to the palace are all on it, so there is no need for her to add Concubine Lian to the list.

"Well, just follow this list and notify the palaces." After reading it, Gu Jinzhi ordered.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, it's time for the notice to go on, so that the palaces can make preparations in advance.

Presumably, many people are eager to see through.

Not everyone can attend the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. Concubine Dong and Lin Jieyu were not included in this year's palace banquet.

"Young maidservant, go and inform the palaces now." Hong Xiu responded, thinking of the hand stove that she found earlier, it was still on the table at the moment.

"Ma'am, on New Year's Eve, do you want to use a new hand stove?"
