Chapter 120 Good Sisters

"I think it's because of the favor and pride! How could the emperor give them cherries? What a joke!" Zhang Wenpin gloated.In this palace, only a few people got cherries, what on earth did Mi Guiren and Xiao Meiren think, they thought that the emperor loved them enough to give them everything, it was simply beyond their control.

For these two pregnant concubines, Zhang Wenbin felt a special sense of satisfaction in his heart, because although the two were pregnant, they had not been promoted to their ranks. Thinking back, when she was pregnant, she was promoted immediately. bits.

Only by comparing can I feel that my life is not worse than others.

Seeing these two people taking Joe every day now, Zhang Wenpin wished that they would be unlucky.

However, Zhang Wenpin immediately thought again, could this matter be planned by the noble concubine in order to make the emperor hate Mi Guiren and Xiao Meiren?
If this is the case, then this imperial concubine is too scheming, she just used a plate of cherries, and didn't do anything at all.

Zhang Wenpin was a little scared thinking about it, and recalled when she had offended Concubine Wu, it seems that she hadn't, she had a low status, and the emperor didn't particularly like it, even when she was pregnant, she didn't dare to compete with Concubine Wu.So she needn't be afraid.

The only time was when she wanted to live in the Changchun Palace. Would Concubine Wu find out about it and hold her grudges in her heart?
Probably not, absolutely not!

On Li Jialuo's side, during this time, Zhang Wenbin often came to say hello to him. After saying good night, he would say flattering words for a while, and then he left.

It made Li Jialuo inexplicable.

Their four concubines can let the concubines below come to pay their respects, but Li Jialuo has already told everyone, so it is unnecessary, she still has to take care of her son, of course, she also knows that in the hearts of these concubines, it must be I feel that I don't want them to see the emperor more.

After all, the more times the emperor came to Changchun Palace, the more chances to see him in Changchun Palace.

Li Jialuo didn't care what they thought, in this harem, she was already aggrieved, and in her current position, she didn't need to say a few words for others, but she was aggrieved by herself, wouldn't that be worthwhile?

Now, she has fulfilled her grandfather's will, and the rest depends on chance and luck.

However, if people are not always prepared, they will be caught off guard when encounters and luck arrive.

Although she had never met her grandfather, if it wasn't for her grandfather, she would not have learned that medical skill from elementary school, and she would not have escaped several times of calculations in this harem.

On the anniversary of her grandfather's death, she just paid homage to him in her heart, because with her heart and friendship, her grandfather would definitely receive it.

The scorching summer is about to enter in a blink of an eye, Lin Guibi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is impatient to come out and walk around.The imperial physician checked the pulse and confirmed the date of delivery, and Empress Zhao also asked someone to choose Wen Po and Nanny.

Lin Guipin gave birth for the first time, and for some reason, she panicked.

Wang Guipin often came to comfort her.

Lin Guipin held Wang Guipin's hand and said: "I don't know what's going on, these few days, whenever I fall asleep, I'll have nightmares that I can't give birth to a child, and then I'm suffocated to death. It's really scary, sister, I really don't want to have children, it's terrible."

Wang Guipin hurriedly persuaded and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Sister Lin, look at our palace, it can be said that all the stable women who have done a good job in this big Chu are here, and they are all rich in experience. From the prince to the fourth prince, they were all born in a safe and sound manner, and nothing will happen to anyone."

Concubine Lin Gui was comforted and felt much better.

But the nightmares at night have been with her all the time, so she invited the imperial doctor to see her and prescribed a medicine to calm her nerves.

Concubine Lin Gui was also afraid that if she drank too much medicine, it would be bad for the child in her stomach.

As a mother, she has a natural maternal love for her children, and Concubine Lin Gui is no exception.

On this day, Li Jialuo hadn't left Kunning Palace, but after a while, the palace lady Chun Ying came over because someone outside reported it.Li Jialuo was about to evade, but Queen Zhao said, "You don't have to leave, Chunying."

Chun Ying said: "Report to the empress, the people from the Yinghua Palace have come to report that Beauty Xiao has had a miscarriage!"

"What?" Queen Zhao asked, "What's going on? Who's here?"

"Grand Concubine, it's not good for Luo Er and the others to hear about such things. You can take Ping An and Luo Er and the others to Changchun Palace first." Queen Zhao ordered.

"Yes, the concubine is going now."

Li Jialuo took the Eldest Princess and Luo Er back to the Changchun Palace. The Eldest Princess asked Li Jialuo, "Concubine Wu, did something happen in the palace?"

Li Jialuo said: "This is an adult's business, you child, don't ask too much."

Because during this time, the eldest princess often came to Changchun Palace to play, and the relationship between Li Jialuo and the eldest princess was very good.

The eldest princess curled her lips and said: "My princess is not young anymore. She has been in school for several years, and she understands everything she should know. There must be something wrong in the harem again. The more women there are in this palace, the more things happen. Son, the more chaotic, my mother is the one who worries about her life, she is a queen, but it is very tiring, if my mother doesn't care about so many things, she must be just like Concubine Wu, very young!"

Li Jialuo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what position you are in. Otherwise, why are you called the Queen?"

"So, the position of empress is exhausting, not good at all, isn't it, Concubine Wu?" The eldest princess seemed to be speaking very normally.

Li Jialuo smiled and said, "But many people want to be queens."

The princess became anxious when she heard this, Li Jialuo laughed and said, "Princess, are you afraid that I want to be a queen? But don't worry, princess, it's just like what you said, being a queen is hard work, and every day I want to be a queen." It's really beyond my ability to deal with these messy things. Besides, the queen in the eyes of the emperor is only your mother, and I will not do things that are not thankful. "

The eldest princess is still a little too young. She wants to imply that she doesn't want to fight, don't compete with her mother for the position. It's stupid to say it. If she really wants to fight for the position, how can she tell her clearly?But the eldest princess just wanted a guarantee.

"Concubine Wu, do you keep what you say?" The eldest princess's eyes lit up.

Li Jialuo said: "Well, I can only guarantee that if your mother doesn't have bad intentions for me, I will definitely not fight for the throne of the queen, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, my queen mother is fine, and she will never be mean to you!" Seeing the assurance, the eldest princess cheered up, and went to hold Li Jialuo's arm, saying: "There are so many concubines in this palace. , I like Concubine Wu. Concubine Wu should not break her promise."

"I keep my word!" Li Jialuo said.

As for Kun Ning Palace, Empress Zhao was listening to Chunying, and then led someone to Yinghua Hall, "Where is Concubine Yi? Is she not in Yinghua Hall?"

Just now, Empress Zhao had already known the general situation from the people. It was Mi Guiren and Xiao Meiren who had a dispute, and then Mi Guiren accidentally pushed Xiao Meiren, and Xiao Meiren fell to the ground, and her lower body was bleeding profusely. , By the time the imperial physician passed by, it was too late, and Meiren Xiao's child could no longer be kept.

Empress Zhao thought about it, and asked, "Did the imperial physician say how is Miss Xiao's pulse?"

Chun Ying knew that the Empress had remembered the matter of Zhao Shuren over there. Zhao Shuren himself was about to have a miscarriage, but in the end he took advantage of the Eldest Princess to make herself 'miscarried'.

"Xiao Meiren's pulse is normal, and there was no sign of miscarriage before."

That is to say, most of this is the result of Mi Gui's pushing and shoving.

It's just that Mi Guiren and Xiao Meiren are usually as good as one person, so how could there be a dispute?

When Empress Zhao brought people to Yinghua Palace, Concubine Yi also came back. When the incident happened, she went to Chunhua Palace to find Concubine Su Ning, because she was an old man in the palace like Concubine Su Ning, so she said go together.

Who knew that this incident happened in Yinghua Hall when she came back, which made Concubine Yi very annoyed, she was the head of Yinghua Hall, so it was a shame that something like this happened in her own hall.

Seeing Empress Zhao approaching, Concubine Yi knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The concubine is guilty of not taking good care of Beauty Xiao! Please forgive me by the empress!"

Empress Zhao said: "Concubine Yi get up first, and then apologize after the matter is clarified!"

Looking at Mi Guiren who was kneeling and trembling on the ground, Empress Zhao said: "Mi Guiren, you should get up first, you still have the emperor's heir in your stomach, for his sake, get up first."

Who knew that Beauty Xiao was in the inner room, when she heard what Queen Zhao said, she burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, Mi Gui killed the concubine's child, and the concubine's child died so unjustly, Empress, you want Make decisions for concubines!"

Queen Zhao said: "When the matter is clarified, I will give everyone justice. Mi Guiren, what else do you have to say?" After all, it was Mi Guiren who retired Meiren Xiao personally, and everyone has seen this.

Mi Guiren's face was pale, and he said to Queen Zhao: "Your Majesty, the concubine is too angry, that's why I missed it for a while."

Xiao Meiren shouted in the inner room, "You did it on purpose. You won't see me give birth to a prince. You want to get rid of my child. You are so cruel. You are usually with my sisters and sisters. I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

Mi Guiren also shouted: "Aren't you cruel? What are you talking about sisters and sisters? I usually don't give you any good things, but you actually put musk in the golden hairpin you gave me. You are superficial. The villain behind the back, if I hadn’t accidentally dropped the golden hairpin on the ground, I would not have known that the golden hairpin was hollow, and musk was put in it by you, an insidious villain. Tian always feels a little pain in the stomach.

Empress, please make the decision for me!I discovered Xiao Meiren's conspiracy within a short time, and then I came directly to argue with her, but she still quibbled, saying that I wronged her, how could I wrong her?
This golden hairpin was given to me by her personally, saying that it was Nian Xiang brought to the palace by her natal family, because she has a good relationship with me, and because we are almost pregnant, so she gave it to me.Who knew that she was harboring evil intentions. I said I wanted to tell the empress, she acted like a rage and snatched the golden hairpin from me. I pushed her to prevent her from destroying the evidence. She didn't stand up. Stable, so I fell down. Speaking of all of this, it was her fault that she sat down first. She wanted to harm my child, but in the end she killed her own child instead! "

Mi Gui took the hollow gold hairpin and gave it to the queen. The contents inside had already been examined by an imperial physician. Mi Gui had witnesses and evidence.

As soon as Queen Zhao heard it, she knew that the matter was almost the same as what Mi Guiren said, but this Mi Guiren made light of what he did, it must be because of anger in his heart. , Deliberately ruthless.

Let Xiao Meiren's stomach miscarry all of a sudden.

Both of them were wrong, one was calculating ahead of time, and the other was following the trend. As a result, one had a miscarriage and the other was guilty.

Queen Zhao said: "Come here, take care of Mi Guiren and Xiao Meiren separately, let the imperial physician come over, and give them a good look."

One is a miscarriage and needs to be recuperated, the other is pregnant and has smelled a lot of musk not long ago, and it is estimated that the fetus has moved.

What is this called? As long as someone in the palace is pregnant, they will not live in peace.

Empress Zhao said to Concubine Yi: "Follow me to find the emperor, and see what the emperor says. You can't blame you for this matter. At most, the emperor reprimanded you. This time, the two of them are plotting against each other. You are too defenseless!"

The outsiders haven't figured it out yet, the insiders are trying to tear each other down!
What kind of sisterly love is a lie!
Concubine Yan Yi sighed: "When the two of them came to reason with me, they were closer than sisters. Who would have thought that they would plot against each other so deeply? I was too careless. There is no such thing as sisterly affection in this palace. ?”

They all compete for the favor of a man, and then fight for the status of their own children, wishing that the other party's children will die, they would rather believe in mutual interests than believe in sisterly love!
Queen Zhao said: "Don't think too much about it, haven't we gotten used to it?"

So Empress Zhao doesn't believe in the sisterly love between Wang Guipin and Lin Guipin, especially Wang Guipin, are the people in the Wang family so kind?Totally impossible.

Even if a rib is broken, it's just a bitter trick, but she is much smarter and more ruthless than her cousin.

It's just that Empress Zhao hasn't figured out the intention of Wang Guifei. If she wants to get rid of Lin Guifei, then why save Lin Guifei and her child?

Unless Wang Guibin can get something better from Lin Guibin, it is worth her risk.

Empress Zhao took Concubine Yi and met the emperor. The emperor was discussing matters with the ministers. Empress Zhao and Concubine Yi waited in the side hall for half an hour before the emperor finished.

Then when he heard this horrible thing, the emperor was very disgusted, and said: "Foot restraint can cause trouble, women in this palace will never stop!"

Concubine Yi hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "The emperor is the concubine who failed to take good care of him, it's the concubine's fault!"

"What's wrong with you? This is the business of the two of them, and you can't keep an eye on it all the time, Empress, you can deal with it according to the palace rules. You can figure it out yourself!"

Queen Zhao said: "Mr. Mi Gui still has the emperor's heir in his belly."

The emperor said: "Degrade her position, let Concubine Yi take care of the child after it is born, let her go to a quiet place, so as not to teach the child badly!"

This is to prevent Mi Gui's children from seeing each other.

Empress Zhao understood it in her heart, and Meiren Xiao was suspected of assassinating the emperor's heir. Although she did not succeed, she did something. For the sake of losing her own child and having a miscarriage, she asked her to give up her illness. Raised well, but she was directly reduced from a beauty to a constant presence.

And Mi Guiren was reduced from a nobleman to a beauty.

This time, neither of them got better, and it can be said that both sides suffered.

Not only did one have a miscarriage, but both of them were downgraded.Mi Guiren will move out after giving birth, and she won't let her raise the child anymore!
As for Beauty Xiao, she suffered a heavy loss. Not only did she lose her child, but she was also reduced to a lowly status.It will be very difficult to climb up in the future.

Lin Guipin said to Wang Guipin: "This is really knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing one's heart. How did it become like this? It's better for the two of us, we will be sisters for the rest of our lives! After my child is born, he will be promising. I will let him honor you together!"

Wang Guibin smiled and said, "I'm waiting."
