Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 40

The little eunuchs who were sitting on the steps and chased by Emperor Rui kept urging to lift them up. The little eunuchs seemed to be riding on the wind, and Nanny Hu and Xiao Luzi who followed were panting after them all the way.

When the group arrived at Guanju Palace, they were blocked outside the palace by the concubine who asked An.The imperial doctor of the imperial hospital was still in the future, when the emperor saw the people in the harem whispering together, the anger in his heart was like a firecracker that was about to be ignited, and it almost exploded with a bang.

"Your Majesty, my mistress was fine yesterday, but she suddenly couldn't get up today. Don't you collide with something?" Lan said worriedly. This is not a good thing. It is saying that the Queen's Palace is not clean, accusing the Queen Dirty hands.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, my lady, she is auspicious, she will be fine, don't worry too much, Your Majesty." Shu Chongyi comforted, "You have worked hard at court, and you came here in such a hurry, I think you are tired, Why don't I bring you some snacks, so you can eat while waiting for the imperial doctor to come."

This consolation was short-lived, but it was enough to show the emperor's hospitality.And she seems to be worried about the queen, comforting the queen, but in fact she is not, she just took advantage of the queen's illness to step on Lan's face.Her consolation was harsh to the emperor's ears.

Their verbal skills made Nanny Hu, who seldom showed any expressions, look angry after hearing what they said.

Mother Hu said that Shu Chongyi has always been like this, but after all, she was just filling her face with Lan.Ever since she entered the palace, she and Lan Chongrong have been at odds with each other, often because of trivial matters.However, she is not as reliable as Lan Chongrong, she is punished more often, and she has improved in her speech after all.

Lan Chongrong is like this, he is really a white-eyed wolf, and it is a waste of all the painstaking efforts of the empress to help her before.

Lan Chongrong was Xijia's three-year entry into the palace. She was not much favored, but she was able to fill her capacity from the fourth rank in less than six years.It is impossible to say that it is completely dependent on luck.The smooth life she has been able to live for so many years is more or less inseparable from the queen's private protection of her.

The batch of beautiful ladies who entered the palace in Xijia's three years were all stunning and well-off. After entering the palace, these ten people have been favored one after another, but the difference in status and favor is actually very big.

The emperor was nostalgic, and he would often be promoted to their positions.But in terms of doting, he is more inclined to be with the young concubine.The old man often goes to those palaces regularly.Among this group of old people, Shunyi Li Shi is the most favored. You can get a glimpse of the beauty of this girl from the title "Li" that the emperor gave her earlier.

The luckiest one is Ning Shuyuan's Shu family, who was pregnant twice before and after, and both of them were valued by the emperor. Even in the past, because of her meritorious service in giving birth to the eldest prince, she was promoted to three ranks in a row, from talent to Shunhua.After the eldest prince passed away unfortunately, Emperor Rui was heartbroken for Fufei and was promoted to Ronghua.Afterwards, she took advantage of her pregnancy again and became the highest-ranking person in the inner palace except for the queen.

The one most trusted by the emperor is Huishunrong Chen. She is not considered a holy favor, but she was given the title of "Hui" by the emperor immediately after going to bed.He asked her to assist the queen in dealing with some trivial matters in the harem, and she was also very popular in the harem these years.

The most important member of the family is the Jieyu Lu family.Her family has a certain influence in the court, and the emperor reused her family, so it is impossible to neglect her. Therefore, like the Chen family, she also has the right to assist the queen in managing the harem.One of her and Li Shi has power, the other has favor, and they often fight.

But no matter how much they are favored, they will have no heirs in the end, so they will not be consummated.

Compared with these high-ranking concubines, Lan Ronghua did not have any advantages, but it was this Wan family who was only seventh-rank when he entered the palace, not only successfully gave birth to the third emperor's daughter, but also because of the third emperor's daughter. Much favored by the emperor.

The reason why she was able to successfully give birth to the third princess in the extremely dangerous inner palace battle was thanks to the support of the queen.For the sake of the third princess, the queen blocked many concubines from plotting against her.After the third princess was born, the queen was also busy, helping her to ask the emperor for her position.

The Daliang royal family has always promoted their concubines to the throne when they are pregnant with the emperor's heir, so as to comfort them for their hard work in conceiving an heir.Those who give birth to princes will be promoted again, mothers are more expensive than children, and those who give birth to princesses will not have such good luck.But the queen insisted on begging the emperor to give her a full seat.At that time, it was the Chen family who was in charge of the capacity. In order to give Lan a good position in charge of capacity, the emperor and empress discussed and sealed off the harem in advance.

Although Lan Chongrong's surname is Wan, his behavior is not so perfect.After being granted a high position, she slowly began to forget how the queen helped her back then.He even started to compete with the queen for favor.Her third imperial daughter and the second imperial daughter raised by the empress are similar in age and are often compared.

To put it bluntly, it was her own incompetence to blame, the third princess was somewhat disliked by her raising her temper, not as favored by the lively and active second prince.She herself is not as favored as the empress, and the third emperor's daughter is not as favored as the second emperor's daughter, so Emperor Rui's affection for her has gradually weakened a lot.

At the beginning, she wanted to use the three princesses to compete for favor, but unexpectedly, the queen found out and reprimanded her severely.Although she no longer used her daughter to win the emperor's sympathy, she didn't have much affection for the queen in her heart.

Therefore, her gratitude to the queen at the beginning has turned into jealousy now, but it is only a matter of time.The queen's condition was unknown, and the emperor was very worried. The other concubines didn't dare to touch the emperor's bad luck. Only this Lan was full of tolerance. I don't know if it was really inappropriate, or she was gloating in her heart and didn't hide her good expression. In short, her words and eyes made the emperor's whole body air pressure drops.

"If you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb. With such a knack for telling stories, why don't you see that you are less angry with your mistress on weekdays. You make troubles all day long, making your mistress tired, and now you are still disturbing her at her sick bed. She is quiet, do you really think that my mother is kind and doesn't punish you, so I can do nothing about you?" The emperor reprimanded the concubines who were quarreling around him.

"Where are the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, are they all dead? How far is it from the Imperial Hospital to Guanju Palace, and I have to ask you three times and four times?" The emperor cursed in the direction of the Imperial Hospital who had not yet appeared.

"Your Majesty, let all the younger sisters go away." The queen heard the emperor scolding people in front of her bedroom, and softly yelled weakly in the inner room.After shouting, he couldn't help beating his heart. The convulsed emperor would soon know that he was pretending to be sick, so he might make a fuss.Just let him continue to make trouble like this now, don't get things done, first recruit the empress dowager.

"Your majesty, you'd better go in and see your empress. My sisters have concubines here, and I promise to persuade them to leave." Hui Shunrong stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's fine, your empress is fine. You go in Look at her, she is looking forward to you." He said without any trace and squeezed the emperor's palm.

As soon as the emperor's hands softened, he understood Hui Shunrong's reminder, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that if he cared, he would be chaotic.So much so that until now, he dared not go into the inner room to take a look at the queen. Not only that, but he was so worried that he lost his sense of propriety and yelled outside the queen's bedroom.This is really not like it.

The emperor glanced at Hui Shunrong, signaled her to take full responsibility, and then glanced at the concubines in front of him, ignoring them and going into the palace.

"Cousin, are you okay?" The worried emperor even changed his address.He strode to the queen's bedroom and went straight to the bed

On the couch, he quickly opened the curtains on the bed.

Then the emperor saw the queen sitting quietly in front of the bed, playing chess with him.The queen who heard the movement raised her head and looked at the emperor with an angry but dumbfounded expression.Seeing this situation, the emperor couldn't help being shocked and angry.

"Zitong, who are you?" The emperor carefully observed the empress's expression, for fear that the empress was trying to force her to see him, and he might have mistakenly blamed her.

But he looked left and right, but he couldn't see any signs of the queen's illness.So after the shock, he let go of his worries.Let's just say that his cousin won't be knocked down so easily.She has been raised by the Xiao family since she was a child and has been in good health. After entering the palace, she also learned riding and archery with the royal master, and minor illnesses are not common.

When the worry was let go, the anger came up.Therefore, the emperor tried his best to restrain his anger, fearing that what he said impulsively would hurt his cousin's heart.

The hall was quiet for a while, and the Queen's voice of placing the chess pieces was clear and loud.

"I was in a hurry to find the emperor, but I didn't want to disturb the queen mother and everyone in the harem. I didn't expect it to be a bad move." The queen explained lightly, with an embarrassing apology in her words.

"The empress made this play, what exactly do you want to tell me?" The emperor suppressed his anger and asked coldly, anyone who is worried about the illness of their relatives will get angry in the end when they find out that this person is just playing with you.

"Because of Du's title." The queen thought for a long time, and replied directly, "The character of Du's title 'Jia' coincides with the emperor's title 'Jia', so it cannot be used to avoid taboo. Only your emperor's will has come to me. This, I have to stop this, and I will say something harsh to my ears." The queen said seriously.

"This title is just called by people. Since the empress thinks this word is not good, I can change it for her. Why bother to mobilize the crowd and make the city full of storms?" The emperor was still worried about the empress pretending to be sick.

"Let's discuss the matter as it stands. Is this the word you should use as an emperor?" The queen said angrily. This person still doesn't understand what he is doing.

"Does the empress know why I gave her this name?" The emperor said confidently, "Besides, isn't this what you wished for the empress? You were the first to let her serve her bed, and you are also the one who stopped her from giving her the honor. I just don’t understand, what exactly does my cousin want to do?”

"I don't want to have another dispute with the emperor." The queen said wearily, "Since the emperor also agrees to change Du's title, then I will make the decision. It should be the word 'jia', the 'jia' of a beautiful woman."

"Follow the queen's wishes, anyway, if the queen doesn't like it, she can pretend to be sick again!" The emperor angrily said, "I'm going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to approve the memorial, so don't send anyone to disturb me if there is nothing to do."

"The concubine sends the emperor respectfully." The queen stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Remember to ask the imperial physician to take a good look at the queen!" The emperor seemed to think of something and continued to mock the queen, "It doesn't matter what the root cause of the disease is, the queen is always sick!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Hospital has arrived." Nanny Hu replied outside the hall.

"Slave dog, it's been so long since you came here, you can afford to delay your master's condition?" the emperor yelled at the imperial physician.The queen mother had to hide a thing or two for acting and doing a full set. In the final analysis, she caused these things by herself.

"The emperor's forgiveness is not because the old minister didn't come, but because Mistress Ning Shuyuan, she has a fetal gas and gave birth prematurely. The whole hospital is doing its best to deliver the baby to Mistress Shuyuan."
