Chapter 194 Fresh

Chinese New Year in the palace is very different from outside, but each palace still needs to prepare things for the Chinese New Year. After all, no one can go to the family banquet except the queen, and the concubines of each palace still have to celebrate the New Year in their own palace. The maids in the palace are just a few people who can talk, and they are considered deserted, but this year the emperor suddenly changed the rules, saying that concubines with heirs or favored concubines can go to Qianqing Palace to celebrate the New Year as long as they are the emperor's favorite people.

In other words, there is no need to spend the New Year in a deserted palace.

The people in the Textile Palace were exhausted, and the concubines in all the palaces didn't have any clothes for the family banquet, so they had to hurry out.Concubine Xu Shu's clothes were the first to bear the brunt. Concubine Xu Shu said that they should not be too gorgeous or embarrassing the emperor.

Fortunately, Concubine Xu Shu doesn't have her mother's family to support her. With so much salary every day, everyone can support her. It's always good to have multiple paths in the palace.She has done a lot of good to these servants in the palace, especially where Concubine Xu Shu can use them.

"Why is your empress always depressed? Wouldn't it be nice to spend the New Year with the emperor? The emperor always goes to the queen's place every year, but the relationship between the emperor and the queen is almost incompatible. That is, sitting in the palace My son just came to look for you, isn't this a peace of mind, servant girl, look, the emperor still wants to see you, empress, so this is an excuse!" Minqian said to Concubine Xu Shu.

This is Concubine Xu Shu's first New Year after returning to the palace, and she doesn't know how many more will be spent in the future.I still remember the first year when she first entered the palace, she spent it in this cold Shaohua Palace, reading the letter sent by the emperor to her father-in-law saying that she missed her, but the rule of this new year's Eve was that he had to spend it with the queen.

There was a year when she was pregnant, and it may have been the happiest New Year so far, but after the New Year, the child was gone.

Every year after that was the same until she became Concubine Xu Shu.

The emperor has fallen out with the queen, and every year he goes to the queen's palace to sit for a while and then comes to find himself through the back door.Concubine Xu Shu never persuaded the emperor to go back in order to impress the queen. All the concubines in the palace knew that the emperor came to celebrate the New Year with Concubine Xu Shu, even if they were envious and jealous, they would not say it out loud. Who told them not to be Concubine Xu Shu, who told the emperor I don't have them in my heart.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Shufei sighed, and Chu Fang came up with tea, which had been replaced with jasmine tea.

It may be because she knows how to serve people better than Minghu and Minqian. Chu Fang is quick to learn and takes care of people more attentively than Minghu and Minqian. Concubine Xu Shu also likes this person quite a lot. After all, she and Chu Xun are similar people. Chu Fang put the teacup by Concubine Xu Shu's hand and said, "Don't think too much about it. Concubine Wen has heard that she will not go to the family banquet this year. After all, she has to take care of two children."

Concubine Xu Shu frowned: "It's enough for elder brother and princess to let the wet nurse take care of them."

"Being a mother for the first time, I always want to celebrate the New Year with my children. It is definitely better than being with a group of relatives and friends who can't even call them complete." Chu Fang said.

Concubine Xu Shu nodded, yes.

"Forget it, let her go. What about Concubine Hui? Is it better? Have you been taking the medicine given by Wen An?" Concubine Xu Shu asked.

After giving birth, Concubine Hui was so exhausted that she couldn't even get out of bed. Concubine Hui was a concubine and gave birth to the emperor, although she didn't survive, it was a great achievement. It stands to reason that she should be able to attend the family banquet.

But Concubine Hui's body is not good.

"I ate it, but it still didn't get better. I still have a lingering illness and cough all day long. Mr. Wen said that we still have to wait for Miss Xie to come for treatment after the Chinese New Year. It depends on Miss Xie's medical skills. After all, Miss Xie's acupuncture is unmatched enemy." Chu Fang said.

Chu Fang had a good impression of Xie Linger who saved the child's life.

"That's fine, it's good to have a good rest in the palace for such a great achievement after giving birth to a child. Let me talk to the emperor when I have some time. Giving Concubine Hui a promotion can be regarded as a compensation for the dead child." Concubine Xu Shu closed her eyes. .

Except for Concubine Xu Shu's palace, everyone's palace looks the same, and the New Year's Eve in the palace is relatively quiet.

"It's so deserted, it doesn't look like it's going to be Chinese New Year at all." Minqian said.

Concubine Xu Shu smiled, and ate the food that Minghu had picked for her: "The palace is nothing compared to the outside. Hanging lanterns is already very popular, what else do you want?"

The palace is not a lively place, everything is kept simple, this royal family costs more money than ordinary people, not only the medicine for business occasions, but also the women in the harem need to be taken care of, and the emperor has a set of clothes for each person at this banquet. money?Speaking of which, the three thousand beauties in the harem cost money.

Like Xiao Geng and Xie Linger, Xiao Geng only needs to buy a set of clothes to make Xie Linger happy.

If Xiao Geng had another woman, Xie Ling'er would definitely leave without their forbearance.

"Hey, news came from Concubine Jing today that Concubine Jing and the Queen are fighting." Minqian said.

Concubine Xu Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at Min Qian, even Chu Fang found it inconceivable.Although he had just entered the palace not long ago, he had heard a lot of news.Although this concubine Jing has never been very favored, but fortunately she has been a concubine in the palace for many years, and the emperor also has feelings for her, but as time goes on, more and more women think of Concubine Jing, and the days are less and less. She has only one daughter.

It can't hold the emperor's heart at all.

Concubine Wen immediately added a son and a daughter, and immediately suppressed Concubine Jing. Originally, Concubine Jing could use the fact that she had been in the palace longer than Concubine Wen to suppress her, but she did not expect that she would give birth to a child for the emperor. In an instant, she was up and down, and it was only natural that Concubine Jing would be unconvinced.

It depends on how the queen comforts her.

But Concubine Xu Shu thought that the cards in the queen's hands were all old people, and few newcomers were on the queen's side, so the queen probably wouldn't keep Concubine Jing.

"That's right, then send some supplements to the little prince of the queen, let Mrs. Wen deliver them, take them from our palace, and pick the best ones to give. Now there is one less card in my hand. I guess the queen's hair It's about to fall, hehe, fighting in the nest." Concubine Xu Shu said jokingly.

"The empress doesn't seem like someone who would have a headache just because of a quiet concubine, just play the cards she can't hold." Chu Fang continued, and Concubine Xu Shu glanced at her and nodded: "Yes, but a concubine, who can win How about the queen? There are so many girls in the queen's family, just pick a few and send them in after the new year."

"What?" Minqian shouted.

Concubine Xu Shu smiled lightly, the empress had mentioned this matter to her, she said that now the emperor is surrounded by old people and there are no newcomers, so it is better to send some fresh ones in so that the emperor will not get bored.
