concubine queen

Chapter 20 Zhaoyi's Promotion
After Yu Mingqian and that Yan Shoude left, Feng Xi looked calm.

The night was getting dark, and the small bamboo forest in Qianque Palace was rustling by the wind.Feng Xi leaned on the door and watched, all this was like a dream, it was unbelievable that she met Yu Mingqian in Yue Wentang, but it was undeniable that this brought her great benefits, at least for now, the emperor liked her.Feng Xi didn't realize at all that she also began to have a good impression of Yu Mingqian, she only thought it was because she had never been so close to a man before, but it wasn't.

"Eunuch Ding, close the palace gate." Feng Xi's tone was calm, unable to tell whether it was joy or anger.

Ding Qishan sighed, "Oh, master, it's the servant who couldn't stop Yan Shoude!" with a look of self-reproach.

"It's none of your business, well, go and rest." Feng Xi was a little sleepy, and waved his hands, knowing that Ding Qishan was also the protector.

Ding Qishan sighed, closed the door, and retreated.

Feng Xi lay on the bed in the main hall of Qianque Palace, looked up, thought for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

Yu Mingqian rushed to Yichang Palace, the palace was in chaos, the maids and eunuchs ran around, seeing the emperor coming, one by one knelt down carefully to salute.

Yu Mingqian didn't rush to get up, and went directly into the palace.

Xiao Zhaoyi lay pale on the bed, her teeth clenched.Three imperial physicians from the imperial hospital came, one was taking the pulse, and the other two were wiping away their sweat.Seeing the emperor coming, the three hurriedly paid their respects.

It seemed that things were not as simple as imagined, and Yu Mingqian's face became serious.

"Your Majesty" Xiao Zhaoyi struggled to remember, Yu Mingqian hurried up to hold her hand.

"You don't need to get up, just lie down." Yu Mingqian turned around and asked the imperial physician seriously.

"How is Zhaoyi?"

The head of the deputy judge was covered in cold sweat, raised his arm to wipe the sweat a little, and then opened his mouth.

"Back to the emperor, Madam Zhaoyi's pregnancies were inherently weak, and she managed to survive three months. But this evening, the empress suddenly complained of stomach pains. The officials hurried over and found that the empress showed signs of miscarriage. I have been trying my best to save them, but because the mother is weak, this baby is probably going to be a baby." The deputy judge said, sweating a lot on his face, he was afraid that the emperor would be angry and cut off their heads.

"I got it, you should treat Lady Zhaoyi well, don't neglect!" Yu Mingqian's tone was serious, and the imperial physicians were pissed like garlic.

"Your Majesty... Please also ask your Majesty to make decisions for the concubines!" Xiao Zhaoyi tried hard to say this and then passed out.

Yu Mingqian looked at her face with a little distress in his heart.

"Yan Shoude, send me all the food and food that Madam Zhaoyi has eaten and used to the Imperial Hospital. Tomorrow, I must find out the reason why Madam Zhaoyi had a miscarriage! Also, strictly interrogate the people in Yichang Palace, Can't let any one go!" Yu Mingqian's hostility was revealed at this moment, and everyone present was afraid, it was said that the emperor was very decisive before he ascended the throne, and now it seems that it is really true.Everyone became careful and didn't dare to speak too much.

Yan Shoude accepted the order gladly, and just as he was getting ready, the queen came in with the help of the maid who was close to her, and hurriedly saluted, "The servant has seen the empress."

It was only then that the crowd realized that the queen was coming, and they also saluted. The queen was still cold and bowed her knees to salute Yu Mingqian, "The concubine has seen the emperor."

Although Yu Mingqian was angry at the moment, he knew that the queen was in poor health, so he stepped forward to help her up.

"The queen has not recovered from the cold, so go back to the palace first." There was obvious concern in her tone.

The queen's heart warmed up, and the emperor still attached great importance to her.But she couldn't ignore Xiao Zhaoyi's accident, otherwise she would be accused.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is nothing serious. I just heard about Xiao Zhaoyi. The concubine is worried about the safety of the emperor's heir and can't care about anything else."

Yu Mingqian's face softened. In fact, he had doubted the queen before. After all, the queen had no heirs, but now seeing that the queen's worried expression was very sincere, he felt that it was not her.

"I've already dealt with it, the queen doesn't have to worry, go back and recuperate. Xiao Zhaoyi, please be promoted to Concubine Xiao." Yu Mingqian wanted to comfort Xiao's pain of losing a child.

The queen's face remained unchanged, and there was a little more melancholy. Sure enough, the emperor attached great importance to children. Although Xiao Zhaoyi lost her child, she was also promoted to a position. It must be a way to make up for it. Hard work.

"The concubine knows, the concubine will go back first, the emperor should also rest for a while, it will be three o'clock soon." The queen finished speaking, saluted and left.

Yu Mingqian didn't want to stay here any longer, he just lost a child, and he didn't feel well.

After Yu Mingqian left, Yan Shoude began to question the maids and eunuchs in Yichang Palace, and sent someone to send all the things to the Imperial Hospital.Because it was night in the imperial hospital, only the three imperial physicians on duty went to treat Xiao Zhaoyi, so there was no one there, so Yan Shoude asked people to put things there, and waited for the three imperial physicians to go back and slowly review them.

That night, there were new changes in the palace. Empress Xiao Zhaoyi had a miscarriage and was promoted to the concubine by a blessing in disguise.Concubine Cheng lost her temper in the palace, unexpectedly Xiao Zhaoyi was promoted to concubine, wouldn't she be on an equal footing with her?She is only a concubine of the second rank, so she, Xiao Zhaoyi, has also become a concubine of the second rank?What a joke!
"Chunxian, go and send someone to show me the situation in Xiao Zhaoyi's palace. Hmph, what a blessing, you can still be promoted after losing your child!" After speaking, he threw a teacup on the table to the ground, and the teacup shattered .

Her personal maid, Chun Xian, knew that she was in a bad mood, "Your Majesty, don't be so angry because of a concubine who lost a child. Your Majesty, you have an eldest prince here."

With Chunxian's reminder, Concubine Cheng calmed down a little bit. That's right, her eldest prince is the only son of the emperor. Xiao Zhaoyi just gave birth to a princess before. fight?

"The emperor was invited from the queen's palace?"

Chunxian shook her head, "No, the emperor was invited by Yan Shoude from the Qianque Palace. It seems that the one in Qianque Palace was not flopped tonight. The emperor just went to meet the Queen Mother and went to Qianque Palace on the way. .”

Concubine Cheng squeezed her handkerchief, a little anxiously, "This Li Fengxi is really not a simple character. When I heard about the draft, I was very fond of the Empress Dowager?" Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng became angry. How shrewd is the Empress Dowager? Having loved her for so many years, he still treats her lightly, not only to her, but also to Xiao Zhaoyi and the queen.But now the Empress Dowager fell in love with this newly promoted Fang Yi immediately, and even called her to her palace. What does this mean?
"I heard that's the case. The Empress Dowager asked her to play the pipa this evening, and awarded the song to this one."

"What!" Concubine Cheng couldn't calm down anymore, Qu He was given to the Empress Dowager by the late Emperor, and the Empress Dowager always regarded it as a treasure, but today she was willing to take it out, not only took it out, but also gave it to Li Fengxi!This made her have to be vigilant.

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. No matter how much the Queen Mother likes Master Fangyi, it doesn't mean that the Emperor likes her. Your Majesty has served the Emperor for many years, and your Majesty knows what the Emperor likes. So what does Fangyi know?" Chun Xian comforted her. But it's not good to be afraid that Concubine Cheng will do something when she gets excited.

Concubine Cheng is not impulsive, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sit on the concubine position just by the eldest prince.
