Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 48

In the autumn of the ninth year of Xijia, the weather began to cool down.Unlike last year's warm autumn, this autumn, as soon as the beginning of autumn, looks chilling and cold.

Of the six people who entered the palace for eight years, except for Mrs. Zheng who committed suicide, the remaining five people have already been in the inner palace for a year.

This year, although Li Ronghua was still the most favored, compared with before, the favor she received has indeed declined.And the harem is no longer just a battleground between her and the Lu family.

Gradually, she would be robbed of some favors by the newcomers. Fortunately, during this year, she finally got pregnant to win the round.This is also the first time she has conceived after five years in the palace.

After Li Ronghua, the ones who were favored were Pingshuren and Shunshiren.The two of them entered the palace together, were supported by their own sisters together, and received the holy favor together, and for a while they were evenly matched, evenly divided.

Both are the concubine daughters of the Nalan family and the Liu family. After they entered the palace, Xi Fangyi and He Fenyi's little love was even less divided by her.

Fortunately, the two Liu sisters are just a little undercurrent, not as obvious as Pingshu's little Nalan, her sister and Fenyi.The two sisters had a rift after all.

With the obedience of a servant, Xi Fangyi can still listen to what she says.However, Ping Shuren is always competitive, so that He Fenyi gradually can't suppress her.

He Fenyi sometimes sees Xi Fangyi easily suppressing her cousin and letting her use it for her, and she will blame her family.Complaining is of no use, so I have to find a way to fight against my sister without hurting her.

The younger sister's temperament is not suitable for the deep palace, and she still doesn't listen to her persuasion, which will hinder the development of the family sooner or later.He Fenyi thought about this more than once, but it didn't help the matter. He could only swallow the bitter fruit of agreeing to send his sister to the palace at the beginning.

The Nalan sisters were alienated, and some of the emperor's promotion was also inseparable from Shi Niang's deliberate provocation.

The Li family and the Lu family fought each other, the Nalan sisters and the Liu family sisters faced each other, and the queen sat firmly on the Diaoyutai to watch the play.This inner palace seems to be chaotic, but actually maintains a delicate balance.

Shi Niang has become a new force that has sprung up in addition to their two main forces.

After she accomplished the matter of helping the emperor to divorce the Nalan sisters, the emperor gradually began to get close to her, and occasionally called her into the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve the pen and ink.

When dealing with political affairs, he would also casually say a few words to Shi Niang.Therefore, although Shi Niang is not clear about the major events in the court, she still knows a thing or two about some trivial matters.

She is young and has strong plasticity. The queen said this back then.The emperor also discovered this in the occasional teachings, and was willing to teach her more when he was free.He also paid more attention to her.

Tired of writing papers, as soon as I looked up, I could see the little girl quietly in the ink, and the tiredness disappeared.Just pamper her more, it has nothing to do with love, I just think it should be done that way.

Speaking of which, the number of times the emperor formally summoned Shi Niang to serve the bed was not very many.There are only two or three days a month.But these two or three days are much better than those concubines who never had one.Those low-ranking concubines who hadn't seen the emperor all the year round were ridiculed secretly.

Not to mention, although the emperor didn't often let Mrs. Du sleep with him, he always liked to announce that she accompanied her during the day.

There are too many companions, but the two of them have developed some feelings.Coupled with the fact that Bai Shi and Li Shi were pregnant successively, Shi Niang felt that the time was almost up, so she secretly stopped the anti-child medicine she was taking, and planned to have a child.

But the baby came a little too fast. When Shi Niang found out that she was pregnant, it was less than a month before Li Shi became pregnant.

Therefore, she chose to deliberately conceal it.This way, the purpose of hiding it before the fetus is unstable is to protect itself, and the second is to hide it from the emperor.

The emperor has always deliberately controlled his heirs, otherwise there would not be a prince born yet.It's just that the emperor hasn't rewarded soup and medicine since he started serving the bed, which made Shi Niang a little afraid of his intentions.

In her opinion, the emperor is a person who can use anything for the throne. Although he is very kind and doting to Shi Niang most of the time, it can't change Shi Niang's trust in him.

She also plots against others and uses unscrupulous means, but the child has always been the softest part of Shi Niang's heart.So she wanted to wait a while before telling the emperor that the emperor of the province was plotting against his heirs.

Shi Niang's plan is not impossible.During these days, everyone's attention was on Bai Changzai and Li Ronghua.For Shi Niang who has always been favored, after a while of cynicism, she let it go.

Speaking of it, Bai's return to favor and Bai's pregnancy are weird everywhere. Ten Niang had guessed it, but she couldn't figure it out, so she gave up.

When Ruomin opened the curtain to welcome Lu Jieyu in, Ten Niang was leaning on the beauty couch in a daze.The emperor left her homework for her, and she has been a little out of spirit these days and hasn't finished it yet.

Thinking that the emperor always ordered her to go to bed when he couldn't finish his homework, Shi Niang blushed, patted her face, and put down the book.

At this moment, Ruo Min was leading Lu Jieyu in, and seeing Shi Niang's dazed look, she couldn't help calling out, "My lord, Lu Jieyu came to see you!"

Shi Niang turned her head and saw Lu Jieyu's scrutinizing eyes. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly got up to salute Lu Shi, "I didn't know that Madam came, Shi Niang was rude, please forgive me."

"Little sister, get up quickly, who in the palace doesn't know that my sister is valued by the emperor, and the emperor has promised you that you don't need to salute, but I don't dare to accept the salute from our daughter Zhuge." A sour taste.

"Your Majesty is joking. The Emperor is teasing my younger sister. You can't take it seriously. You also know that my younger sister is young. The Emperor is treating me like a child."

Shi Niang didn't say a word about how the emperor pushed her to a high place, and ignored the jealousy in Lu Jieyu's words, she just stood up with a smile, and now she wished she could not squat down and salute.

She spoke with a bit of coquettish anger, coupled with her serious expression, it made Lu Jieyu chuckle.

"No wonder the emperor likes to call his younger sister to talk, even this palace always finds her interesting." Lu Jieyu took her hand and sat on the couch together.

"It's rare for you to come out and walk around these days, so I came to see you." Lu Jieyu spontaneously explained her reason for coming.

"Thank you for your concern. Ruomin, let's serve some refreshments." Shi Niang dismissed Ruomin who was still in the room.

Facing Shang Ruomin's worried eyes, Shi Niang signaled that it was okay, and then Ruo Min withdrew from the hall, leaving Shi Niang to deal with Lu Jieyu alone.

"My younger sister is really smart. I wonder how well my younger sister guessed my intention?" Lu Jieyu said quickly.

"Go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. The empress came to see Shi Niang at this time, and there is nothing more than one thing." Shi Niang met Shang Lu's probing gaze, pointed her finger to the southwest, paused slightly, and drew a "" in midair. white".

Lu Jieyu clapped her hands and praised, "Sure enough, it's Zhuge, the harem lady. Since my sister guessed my purpose, does my sister know why I came to cooperate with my sister?"

"Because Shi Niang doesn't have the support of her family in the court, let my sister and Your Majesty rest assured!" Shi Niang sighed. These people are all after her, and she can't do it without doing it.

"This is my sister's strength and my sister's weakness. Without the interference of the family, my sister can choose the path you want to take and what you want to do; but also, without the help of the family, my sister is destined to walk harder than others " Lu Jieyu was actually a little envious of this little girl.

The whole family pushed her into the palace with all their strength, but there was no force in the palace to help her open up the situation.Although there is an uncle in her family in the court, it can't play a decisive role at the moment.

Although it will be very difficult, in the same way, there is no need to be interfered by the family's remote control everywhere.

The full moon banquet of the fifth emperor's daughter left a deep impression on her. These noble girls from aristocratic families gave up their treatment as regular wives and had no heirs. They lived for the family in this deep palace, just to pass on useful information to the family when necessary. information to protect the safety of the family.

But the family wants to rule them everywhere and blame them everywhere.Is it their fault that they can't give birth to a prince?Over the years, she had understood how difficult it was to conceive.

Like the Chen family, the imperial daughter who was born after a lot of hardships is still rejected by the family, let alone find someone who has nothing to do.

Even if it is not for the family, for herself, she must have a child by her side.

"I beg my sister to help me once." Lu said desperately. She did this because firstly, the emperor would not allow her to have a child, and secondly, the queen would not be able to help her, so she had to find a little girl, who might be able to help her with a soft heart. .Say something for her in front of the emperor, so that she can get what she wants.

"Sister, if you believe me, we will join hands. There is no such thing as asking for anything." Ten Niang reached into her purse and took out the jade that her stepmother gave her before entering the palace.

"How do you have this thing?" Lu Jieyu asked in surprise, "I gave it to my cousin. What is your relationship with the Lu family branch?"

"Shi Niang's late mother came from the Lu family branch in Yujing." Shi Niang said softly, these years, the Lu family treated her well, but she wanted to use the Lu family's reputation to make a deal with Lu Jieyu.

"No wonder, the queen often mentioned that you played the reindeer song in the talent show that day to inspire the emperor's heart." Lu Jieyu said with emotion, "Uncle Tang is best at Yueqin. You have to be guided by him, and the skill is naturally superb."

"Since we are a family, my sister and I have to speak directly. Is my sister pregnant?" Lu Jieyu threw out the conditions that Shi Niang had to cooperate with her, and she knew the secret that Shi Niang was hiding.

"Sister, you don't have to do this. Let me think about how to do this well. Don't worry, sister, you wait for my news. I will make your wish come true."

"Okay, I believe my sister. If this happens, I will guarantee that the child in my sister's womb will be born safely." Lu Jieyu offered a bargaining chip, "I will wait for good news from my sister."
