Chapter 51
"One good concubine is not enough, now the noble concubine also has to step in!" Zhai Hanjing caressed her chest, just as the baby crying next door sounded, she staggered up, walked a few steps but fell down on the chair again, tears streaming down her face.
In the morning, the official came over and told her that the war in the north was tense, so the emperor's eldest son's full moon banquet would not be held.
Forget it if it’s not a big deal, the emperor actually left it to the noble concubine!
Zhai Hanjing was filled with hatred, but the emperor was determined and even asked her to stay in the palace and not go out to see anyone.
Why! Didn’t she just want to put those two bitches in the cold palace?
The emperor had been angry with her for only half a month and he was still doting on those two bitches. She was really...
In the past, if you asked Zhai Hanjing who she hated the most, it would definitely be Lin Qingluan, but now, what she hates the most is the two shameless people in Jianzhang Palace!
After half a month of neglect, Zhai Hanjing finally figured out one thing - Shangguan Lie's expectations, or requirements, for her were very strict.
She had to behave like a queen before he would be willing to say a few soft words to her.
However, thinking about it from another perspective, as long as she behaves appropriately in front of others, he will also give her the honor that a queen deserves.
Sleeping together on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month is the lowest guarantee for the future of the eldest son.
Zhai Hanjing understood, but he was so unwilling...
"Your Majesty, the Emperor went to see the eldest prince next door." Hua'er came in and reported in a low voice.
She had only been in the house to serve the queen for a few days, and now she was a little scared when she saw the queen.
Zhai Hanjing didn't have any ill feelings towards her. Seeing how careful she was, it was rare for him to say a few words to her today: "Would you like to change Hua'er's name?"
"Slave, please follow the Queen's instructions." Hua'er looked at Zhai Hanjing cautiously.
Zhai Hanjing said quietly: "Shuanglu, who is with me, was transferred to the House of Internal Affairs some time ago. Since Jinru thinks you are good enough to come in and serve me, you can replace her and change your name to Shuangxue."
"Yes, my servant Shuangxue thanks the Queen for bestowing her name." Hua'er knelt down and saluted, her face full of joy.
Zhai Hanjing waved her hand and asked her to come closer. He looked at her features carefully and sighed: "Well, the Japanese palace wants to build Zhang Palace. Jin Ru and the others won't let me go. It's better for you to be quick and run to help me first."
I want to inquire about the news. I know that you are sincere."
"Being able to serve the Queen is a blessing earned by this slave in ten lifetimes!" Hua'er's round little face was full of admiration. Zhai Hanjing couldn't help but feel soft when he saw it. He also remembered that when he first arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the breeze, Shuanglu and the others had just arrived.
The way he looks when he comes to his side.
But now Shuanglu is a female official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, resolute and resolute, and Breeze is also a first-class maid of Kunning Palace, and even has two little maids to serve her.
Everyone has changed, so she will also change, right, Shangguan Lie?
Zhai Hanjing held his chin with tears still hanging down his cheeks, but he laughed again.
Hua'er looked at her carefully: "Empress..."
"Nothing, go and heat up the handkerchief." Zhai Hanjing stood up and slowly held back his tears, "Is the eldest prince awake? It's time for me to go and see him."
This night was the first time Shangguan Lie stayed overnight in Kunning Palace after he passed on the imperial edict.
This seemed to be a signal. Although the power of the palace was still controlled by the virtuous concubine, and even the eldest prince's full moon banquet did not allow the queen to interfere, but inexplicably, everyone in the palace felt that the former queen was back.
The eldest prince's full moon banquet was a lively one. Lin Qingluan sat below, looking at the radiant Zhai Hanjing above, and couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems they have reconciled.
"I haven't thanked the imperial concubine yet. The eldest prince is full moon, so the imperial concubine has to worry about it." Zhai Hanjing noticed Lin Qingluan's gaze, looked over, and raised his glass at the same time.
Lin Qingluan responded lazily and said: "It's all done according to the previous standards. Queen, please don't dislike it."
After saying that, as if she had just seen Zhai Hanjing holding a wine glass, she picked up the tea cup with a smile: "My concubine's wound has not healed, and the imperial doctor has told her not to drink alcohol. I hope the queen will not be weird."
"How come, please, sister." Zhai Hanjing took the lead and drank it all in one gulp. Shangguan Lie next to him looked over with a smile. She also looked sideways and gave a decent smile.
After the banquet, Zhai Hanjing said to Shangguan Lie: "Your Majesty, I drank wine today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you. Why don't you, Your Majesty, go see your sister for me? She has been injured and has been busy for the past two days, and she doesn't know.
How is the wound?"
"What the Queen said is absolutely true," Shangguan Lie looked at her hazy eyes and smiled slowly, "Then, as the Queen said, I will go and see the noble concubine."
So Lin Qingluan returned to Wan'an Palace and heard that the emperor's chariot was coming here.
Thinking of what happened to Shangguan Lie yesterday, Lin Qingluan felt a little nauseous in her throat, but she quickly suppressed it.
Seeing that it was almost time, she dug out the porcelain bottle in the drawer on the bed, poured two balls out and ate them in her mouth.
The sweet and sour plum flavor suppressed the nausea. Lin Qingluan closed her eyes and subconsciously clenched the porcelain bottle in her hand.
In the past... she was lucky, or she was unwell, or someone else shared the burden. During this period, she was confined for ten days, and she accompanied the Queen Mother out of the palace to worship the Buddha. All these things combined, from the time she was reborn to the present, she has not been favored in the past four months.
This would never have happened before.
Although she deliberately avoids favor, the emperor's favor is indispensable. She needs it, and the Lin family also needs it.
The most important thing is that Shangguan Lie cannot be aware of her reluctance...
As a concubine, if you don't want to serve the king, aren't you waiting for your family to be confiscated and your family to be exterminated?
The day has finally arrived...
Lin Qingluan put the porcelain bottle away. She stood up, glanced at An Lan, who was full of worry, and slightly opened her red lips: "Get ready to take a bath."
Just come, the imperial concubine is still afraid of him!
Shangguan Liexin stepped into the bedroom and heard the sound of water behind the curtain.
"Reporting to the emperor, the imperial concubine is taking a bath." Hibiscus bowed her head and replied.
Shangguan Lie couldn't help but laugh, and asked: "Is your master's wound fully healed?"
"Back to the emperor, he has basically healed. As long as he doesn't make any big movements, he will be fine," Mu Jin replied.
Shangguan Lie nodded and motioned for her to go out first, while he walked behind the screen.
However, just after walking a few steps, the door to the bedroom was opened in a hurry, and Yu Bao rushed in in shock, holding his hat: "Your Majesty!"
By the time Lin Qingluan came out of the shower, the dormitory was already empty. Not only had Shangguan Lie left, but no one around him was left.
Lin Qingluan sat on the edge of the bed and let the palace maid wipe her hair. At the same time, listening to Mu Jin's reply, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly: "Concubine Yun had a fetal movement and almost had a miscarriage?"
"That's right. Concubine Yun didn't know she was pregnant for more than two months. She drank some wine at tonight's dinner and her abdominal pain only became known to the imperial doctor." Mu Yun, standing aside, said.
Lin Qingluan was simply overjoyed. She had saved Yun Bin's fetus for use when needed, but who knew that Yun Bin herself had helped her a lot at this moment.
This wine is delicious.
But her face was indifferent, she just flicked her sleeves and said: "I know, everyone, please go out."
"Master..." Mu Jin seemed to want to persuade her. She wanted to say that the emperor was very happy when he came, but Lin Qingluan was already impatient, so she could only bow her head and retreat.
An Lan knew what Lin Qingluan was thinking, so he suppressed his happiness and said, "That slave is guarding the master outside."
Lin Qingluan nodded casually and waited for everyone to go out. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and rolled on the bed happily.
Yun Bin! She remembers her! If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help her!
"The emperor is gone, and the queen is still so happy?" A man's voice suddenly sounded, with a touch of ridicule and a bit of yin and yang.
Lin Qingluan looked up at him with a smile, without saying anything, but the happiness in her eyes was clear.
