concubines

Chapter 288 I really want to make the emperor happy

A few days later, Mammy Xi sat by the fire and chatted with Miao Li. "Feng Meiren doesn't know what's wrong. She runs here whenever she has something to do. She will come if Concubine Yi doesn't come over. If the empress is sleeping, she can play alone for a while. Watering the flowers or something, but the few potted flowers of the empress After being in her hands, I feel much more energetic."

Miao Li listened quietly, and it took a long time before she replied, asking: "Is it because the drunkard doesn't want to drink?"

The emperor does not enter the harem every day except for lunch, so the possibility of meeting the emperor is the greatest here.She is familiar with the way again, and it is a good choice to come here.

Mammy Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "It doesn't look like she will deliberately avoid the time when the emperor comes. Either she will come in the afternoon, or she will leave after dinner."

"Did you go back to your own place after you left the house? Did you encounter anything on the road? Waiting around the corner, on the small road, etc.?"

"This servant really doesn't know, she hasn't paid attention to it." Mammy Xi was a little excited, Miao Li seemed to be very concerned about this matter, as if she was trying to compete for favor with the former empress.She doesn't need to argue at all, as long as she has a good attitude, all the favor of the emperor will be hers. "Do you want the servant to pay attention?"

Miao Li shook her head and said, "No, you need someone to invite her over now."

"But now it's almost time for lunch, the emperor is coming soon."

"That's the time."

As soon as she said that, Madam Xi knew that she was happy for nothing. She wanted to make sure that Meiren Feng was fighting for favor, not to guard against her, but to push her to the emperor.

Mother Xi could only hope in her heart that she would not regret it, if the emperor didn't hold back for a while and really accepted others, I don't know if she would really be happy.

When Feng Meiren came over, the imperial dining room had just delivered food, so Miao Li let her sit for a while.Not long after sitting, Zhou Shuxuan came over, and he didn't even notice that there was someone he didn't know very well in the room.

Feng Meiren seemed to be a different person. She was under the same roof as Zhou Shuxuan, and felt that she could no longer use her hands and feet.Standing beside Miaoli very cautiously, knowing that there is no place for her on the table.

Zhou Shuxuan said to Miao Li as always, "The fish looks good today, you should eat more."

After Feng Meiren heard what he had said, she immediately picked up a chopstick for Miao Li and put it on the plate.

Zhou Shuxuan only noticed her now, because the people around Miaoli didn't listen to him like that, and Miaoli would only pinch her if she looked over.

She took a bite of Miaoli to save face, and said with satisfaction: "The taste is really delicious. What is my sister doing standing? Sit down and eat together."

Feng Meiren didn't dare to sit, Miao Li turned her head to look at Zhou Shuxuan, Zhou Shuxuan said sullenly, "Sit."

Only then did Feng Meiren dare to sit down.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't say a word, took a few mouthfuls and left.

For the next few days, Miao Li would invite Feng Meiren to have dinner with her every day.Except at the dinner table, I didn't talk to her much.

Feng Meiren could also tell that Miao Li didn't like it much, so she went back in a proper manner after eating.But relying on Miaoli, she is indeed the person who has seen the emperor the most times now, and the other five are far inferior to her, so she cannot avoid some harsh words.

When I returned to my own palace, I heard someone say: "Your Majesty has come back from having dinner with the Emperor? I wonder when the Emperor will invite your Majesty to sleep with you?"

Feng Meiren walked towards her side hall silently with her head down, ignoring those harsh words.

But the other party said again, "Thinking that I will be different after climbing the high branch of the imperial concubine, I am still not an inferior."

A person who looked like a big palace lady suddenly came to the gate of the palace, "What do you think you are, let alone others, I'm afraid you haven't even seen the emperor now."

"You! How did you talk..."

"This servant belongs to Concubine Lin. If the beauty refuses to accept it, she can go to Concubine Lin." The maid went to Feng Meiren's side again, bowed respectfully and said, "Slave Meiqin pays respects to the beauty, Concubine Lin invites the beauty Go there."

With Feng Meiren's current status in the palace, none of the concubines could afford to offend her.Although Miao Li let her go to eat every day, she didn't mean to treat her as a close person.When Lin Yanchi asked her to go, she had no choice but to go.

When Lin Yanchi saw her, he kindly pulled her to sit down, and even served her good tea, "My sister has been ill all the time, and my sister hasn't talked to you since she has been in the palace for so long. You are really neglecting my sister."

"It's the concubine who didn't dare to come over and disturb the empress."

"They're all sisters from my own family. If you're bothering me, I'll come over when I have a chance. I don't know when my sister will receive Jun's favor. My sister didn't even have time to congratulate her."

Feng Meiren pinched her clothes timidly, and said in a low voice: "The emperor didn't summon me, so..."

Lin Yanchi pretended to be a little regretful, but he finally let go of his heart.Fortunately, Zhou Shuxuan didn't call for luck, otherwise she really couldn't think about it. "It's not a problem. There will always be a long time to come. There will always be opportunities. The emperor rarely goes to the harem, and almost all of them are with the imperial concubine. The women in the palace, alas, are suffering."

Feng Meiren didn't fully understand what she meant, and stupidly continued, "It seems that the emperor has never stayed with the imperial concubine, and has always stayed in Longde Hall."

"It is true now, but the concubines used to live in Longde Hall... Forget it, what are you talking about?" Lin Yanchi deliberately changed the subject, "Are you still used to living in the palace?"

"Get used to it." Feng Meiren is still more concerned about Zhou Shuxuan and Miaoli's affairs. Although she knows a general idea, she still wants to know more details. "Then why doesn't the emperor summon the imperial concubine now? He doesn't stay overnight in Qingquan Palace, he just goes there for dinner every day."

"Maybe it's because the empress has a heart-to-heart with the emperor after her child is gone, so she has not been very close to the emperor."

"Child? The emperor's?" Didn't it mean that the emperor cannot have children?

"Look at what you said, of course it belongs to the emperor, is someone talking nonsense in front of you?"

Feng Meiren quickly waved her hand, "No, no. Is the emperor also very unhappy now? Especially the empress treated him like that?"

"Maybe."

Feng Meiren lowered her head again, and said in a very, very low voice, "The emperor must be unhappy, he keeps a straight face every day."

Lin Yanchi said intentionally or unintentionally, "If a prince is born, the emperor will definitely be happy."

Feng Meiren raised her head, looked at her with wide eyes, and asked: "But the emperor never summons lucky people, how could there be a prince born?"

"Everything depends on human effort, there will always be a way."

Feng Meiren's mind is brighter now, she looked at her and said, "Please teach me, Your Majesty."

Lin Yanchi smiled, and beckoned her to get closer.

When going out from Lin Yanchi's place, Feng Meiren was still in a daze, not sure whether he should listen to her, not sure what the consequences would be if he did that, whether it would be good or bad for her.

But she really wanted to make the emperor happy!

It has been more than half a month since he entered the palace, and I have never seen him smile. I have only seen him with a straight face, and after talking with the imperial concubine, he was so dark that he pretended to be calm. He must look good when he smiles. .

If you can see him smile once in your lifetime, it will be considered that you have not lived in vain in this life.

So she has to follow Lin Yanchi's method, if the emperor has a prince, he will be happy.

Feng Meiren still went to Qingquan Palace as usual, knowing that Miaoli didn't like her, she didn't say much, so she helped Mammy Xi and the others to do things, not to mention how diligent, even more diligent than the little maids in Miaoli Palace.

Miao Li stopped her a few times, and she said that she was used to doing things at home, and it was uncomfortable to be idle, so Miao Li let her go.

Until now, Miao Li still didn't understand whether she was really stupid or fake.

Seeing the flowers in the plum garden blooming, Feng Meiren picked some flowers and put them in vases for her without going out much.And not only once, but every day, Miao Li's indifference did not affect her enthusiasm at all.

When I came here today, just in time for the eunuch next to Zhou Shuxuan to pass a message: "Your Majesty, the Emperor will not come over for lunch today, but come over for dinner. He also said, please don't call any messy people over."

The messy person was standing beside Miaoli, holding the flowers picked for Miaoli, looking down at his shoes all the time.

The eunuch said again: "The emperor also said that he will not let the imperial dining room bring food over. The lady can cook whatever she wants in the small kitchen. He can eat anything."

Zhou Shuxuan took great pains to get the people in the imperial dining room to cook for her, but he didn't take care of her taste too much. It suddenly occurred to her that she might have something she wanted to eat.

"understood."

She can't do anything about a thick-faced person, she said last time that she doesn't want him to come over at night, but he still wants to come over.If Feng Meiren was not here, Miao Li really wanted to say something nice to him.

Miao Li didn't have anything to eat, so she ordered to get some food at random.Then I didn't care about them, and went back to do some handicrafts.It's almost Chinese New Year, let's make some gadgets for Qingxi.

After a while, Xiaohong came back from outside the palace, came in to see Miaoli, opened her mouth and said, "The servant girl also said that a new maid came to the small kitchen, and only when she went in did she see that it was Feng Meiren. What's wrong? Are you a maid?"

Miao Li glanced at her with a smile, "Talk well. She just works hard and is just helping."

Xiaohong shrugged her shoulders slightly, and said: "Anyway, this servant doesn't like her, and she stays here every day, and she doesn't think so when she wants to see the emperor."

"Stop talking nonsense, why do you get so angry once you go out of the palace, and make He Yuan spoiled when you go back?"

"He's used to me, he's going to piss me off."

Xiaohong was indignant and complained to Miaoli about He Yuan for a while, and Mammy Xi came in and said, "Mother, Feng Meiren helped the small kitchen to prepare the food and then left, saying that she won't eat here."

Xiaohong was getting angry, so she said casually, "Is there something wrong in my heart for leaving in such a hurry? Did I put medicine in the meal?"
