My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 20

Wan Qixiao swept his eyes and saw that the smiles of many concubines stiffened on the spot. He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, evil spirits flashed in his eyes, but he greeted Concubine Rou with a smile on his face: "Then what are you doing outside in a daze? Carefully blow the wind." Come in quickly, my lord! Yunxia, ​​put a cotton pad on Concubine Rou, don't catch a cold."

All the concubines woke up like a dream, immediately there was congratulations again, and they went around to flatter Concubine Rou again.

Wan Chengxiao sipped the tea, just smiled and watched the life of these skinny women in the drama.Just now she clearly looked at a concubine who cut off her long nails when she heard that Concubine Rou was pregnant, but looking at it now, no, it was the woman who smiled the most and flattered her.

In a blink of an eye, she saw that Concubine Yang next to her hadn't moved at all, except for the initial congratulations, she kept drinking tea and watching with a smile on her face.Wan Chengxiao couldn't help but have some opinions on her.This woman is not simple, but she is not qualified.It belongs to the classic wall grass, and the wind blows on both sides.Whichever side is more powerful, rely on that side.Fortunately, her eyes were good enough, so she was able to get into the position of concubine.Her elder brother who is right-hand man probably got into this way too.In Ye Huayan, she said that the illness did not show up, and she probably found a clue, but she was cautious enough, so she never told anyone.Being wise and protecting one's life is the true nature of staying in the palace for a long time.This woman knows her duty.It works, but is unreliable.Maybe the harem is the most suitable place for her. She doesn't want to be successful, but only wants to live a lifetime and wait for death.

The concubines and concubines were busy all afternoon, and they didn't get up to say goodbye until they had enough gossip with each other.Wan Qixiao also generously took out some things that Qin Xian rewarded, and all the concubines rewarded some, and everyone was very happy immediately, and they were all very happy.They all thought that they had made a lot of money, but they didn't know that those items were just a drop in the bucket from Qin Xian.The corner of Wan Chengxiao's mouth twitched, Qin Xian almost used her palace as a treasury, it was full.

When rewarding, Wan Qixiao specially gave Concubine Yang a jade ruler, not only to affirm her consistent attitude, but also to remind her to have a degree in everything and not to be too blindly seeking peace.

After the concubines left, Yunxia became uneasy about what Wan Qixiao was supposed to do.Following Wan Qixiao step by step, he hesitated to speak several times.

"What?" Wan Qixiao finally couldn't stand Yunxia following her to the toilet, and finally turned around and asked her helplessly.

"Your Majesty! Why are you not in a hurry! Concubine Rou..." Yunxia stomped her feet anxiously.The empress is obviously the emperor's official wife, and she has been married for two years, but there is still no movement, how can she not be in a hurry!In case Concubine Rou gave birth to a prince, the matter would be many times more complicated.Not to mention that Li Chang Li Di is too far away, as far as the Zuo family has a stable position with the prince, I am afraid that they will definitely use this to create many disturbances.Maybe there will be a clamor to abolish and establish a new queen because of the value of mother and child.

Wan Chengxiao took the toilet paper unhurriedly, and sneered: "Do you think...she can really be born?"

"Your Majesty!" Yunxia covered her mouth and exclaimed, and immediately looked around to make sure that there was no one, so she breathed a sigh of relief.Just as he was about to preach to Wan Qixiao, Wan Qixiao had already turned around and went into the inner room to use the toilet.

Qin Xian was about to attack the Zuo family, how could he allow such a wicked person to ruin his affairs!Not even a child of his own blood!He is also a high-ranking person, and Wan Qixiao understands Qin Xian's thoughts better than anyone else.

After Concubine Rou spread the good news, the entire harem seemed to be busy all of a sudden. Concubine Rou’s Wuyun Palace was crowded with many people coming in and out every day. Only Wan Qixiao was left at leisure.

Although there were concubines who came to pull Wan Qixiao to visit Concubine Rou every day, they were all rejected by Wan Qixiao on the grounds that he was sick and afraid of infecting the unborn little prince.Wan Chengxiao has always been cautious, but she went to this critical moment and asked for trouble.The Zuo family is not so easy to get along with, and it is hard to say if they take the opportunity to bully her; besides, Qin Xian is also eyeing him, this child may disappear at any time, if something happens to the child, she will blame her Can't tell.Therefore, at critical moments, you must be calm, and would rather be criticized by others than ask for trouble.

The result of being calm is that Wan Qixiao has been idle for more than a month as if he had been forgotten, and felt that he was about to go moldy.Thinking that no one would come to check the post anyway, it would be better to go out of the palace to hang out the cabbage like this, and check out the business by the way.So Wan Qixiao tidied up, leaving Yunxia in the palace, and went out of the palace by himself.

Of course, there are valid reasons for her being able to stay out of the palace for a long time.The incense sent a while ago finally caused an incident. Fortunately, after burning for two days, Concubine Rou was found to be unwell. The imperial doctors were terrified, and after three days and three nights of collective research, they found out that the problem was the incense.All of a sudden, the harem was flying like dogs and dogs, and the storm was about to come.Qin Xian smashed the inkstone in anger, scolded the nanny who was in charge of Wuyun Palace, and then ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.That night, the lights were brightly lit, and everyone was in danger.Concubine Yuchi searched all the way to the central palace with a blank face. The victim of Wan Qixiao pretended to be penetrating, and Yunxia also looked shocked. The master and servant were so frightened that their faces turned pale. During the investigation, it was found that the incense was given by Ban Jieyu, and the empress actually used it for more than a year!Immediately, the head of the victim list changed from Concubine Rou to Empress Empress who was frail and frightened by this scare.Ban Jieyu was charged with murdering the empress and concubine Rou and was immediately executed with a cane in public, as an example to everyone else.

After Wan Qixiao pretended to be sick and dealt with the crowds of visiting people for two days, Concubine Rou was unwilling to be lonely and went out walking and twisted her foot. The trick of almost miscarriage, everyone's attention immediately turned back to Concubine Rou. , immediately paid the bills, and left the palace overnight to plan her business plan.

Now, our empress, who was supposed to be lying on the bed and "couldn't afford to be seriously ill", is now dressed in a man's attire, walking swaggeringly on the bustling Imperial Capital Avenue.

Wan Qixiao is wearing a royal blue dress, a gold-rimmed jade belt around his waist, thick-soled white brocade and cloud-patterned boots, and a suet ring and jade pendant hanging from his waist. His long hair is tied into a bunch, and the blue headband is swaying in the wind. He is dressed like a young man with makeup , indeed attracted the attention of many passers-by.Wan Qixiao was a little proud.It's a pity that what Wan Chengxiao didn't know was that the reason why she attracted attention but was not recognized as a daughter was because everyone regarded her as a rich man's prostitute.

Wan Qixiao looked left and right all the way, dizzying.The prosperity of the imperial capital was somewhat beyond her imagination.She always thought that the market should be bleak after Daqin was ruled by several fatuous emperors, but in fact it was not.Here, all kinds of handicrafts are blooming, the people's livelihood industry is booming, the streets are bustling with pedestrians, and there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.
