The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 187 Talking Point

Although Lan Cairen and Wen Meiren were punished at night, there are no secrets in the palace. The more sudden the incident, the faster it will spread in the palace.

In just one night, the owner of the yard changed.

The next day, when Lan Jieyu went out, she met people who called her "Sister Lan" and "Lan Jieyu" consciously greeted them.

Wen Cairen had a good father after all. Although his status had fallen, those people only dared to look down on him in their hearts and were generally friendly to him on the surface.

This incident provided a lot of topics for discussion in the harem and became a typical case.

Anyone who went to Yuxiu Palace would be talked about by Concubine Li as long as their status was lower than Concubine Li's.

She acts like an older sister and educates all the "sisters".

"Master Wen was too harsh, which made the emperor so angry. You should all take this as a warning and never be harsh to your subordinates."

After hearing this, the concubines naturally nodded in agreement in a proper manner.

"I heard that the emperor was going to visit Concubine Xin last night, but he passed by Four Seasons Garden and heard Concubine Wen beating and scolding someone."

"Some are happy while others are sad."

The one who was happy was naturally Concubine Xin Shu, who was originally one of the four concubines and now already had a princess. If she could work harder and give birth to a prince, she would have a life of endless good times.

Among the four concubines, Concubine Ning was also pregnant. For a while, everyone was guessing whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

In their hearts, they all hoped that they would give birth to princesses, but they all said, "The emperor has few children, so God will naturally send him a son!"

Everyone was talking with a smile, some were unintentional but some were taking it seriously. Concubine Li was sitting at the top seat, and she felt uncomfortable no matter how she listened.

She is also one of the four concubines, but she only has Princess Anle as her child. Not to mention that Concubine De does not compete for favor, the other two will all climb over her head from now on.

Although Concubine Ning and Concubine Xin are already above her now, people always create troubles for themselves, and Concubine Xin is such a person.

Concubine Li Xian didn't like to hear people blessing and praising them for having a son. She looked at Qin Liuse and said with a smile, "Among us, Sister Qin has been favored the most by the Emperor. I think the next one will be our Sister Qin."

At once, some people began to agree, "Yes, Qin Zhaoyi is now of the right age, and logically speaking, she should have had the baby a long time ago."

Qin Liuse raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that it was really tiring to deal with these people, and there was something else behind their words.

On the surface, he was saying that Cheng En should be pregnant at most, but secretly he was mocking her for having a weak belly, which was made of saline-alkali soil and could not give birth.

God knows it’s not that she can’t give birth, but that she doesn’t want to give birth.

I really don't know these women.

Qin Liuse raised her beautiful eyes slightly, touched her belly, and said slowly, "Maybe my child loves me and wants me to accompany his father for a while longer."

This is true. If these women hadn't been pretending for so long in the harem, their faces would probably turn green.

Qin Liuse's blatant show-off made everyone so angry that their teeth itched. They spit in their hearts, saying that the land cannot produce anything and it is useless to sow seeds on it. But he is quite good at making excuses for himself!

What do you mean by spending more time with Emperor Yongjia?

Isn't it just showing off your favor?

It's no big deal to watch the fun. When people over there were in chaos, Concubine Li started to come out and smooth things over and act like a virtuous woman.

She smiled and said, "Sister Qin is indeed favored by the emperor. That's why we should take it slow. Only in this way can we be considerate to the emperor and share his worries and troubles."

That's not true!

Qin Liuse thought to herself that all of them, the concubines, were Emperor Yongjia's toys, there to help him vent his anger.

Each and every one of them really thought they were the wives of Emperor Yongjia.

Jokes are not all just toys. They are just different in status according to the owner's preference.

Everyone gritted their teeth and agreed with Concubine Li, saying, "Sister Li is right. We should live in harmony and not cause trouble to the emperor."

Concubine Li Xian enjoyed the false impression of sisterly harmony and said with a smile, "In two days, the emperor will lead his subjects to go autumn hunting."

"This year's autumn hunt was prepared suddenly, and the emperor only took his ministers with him. We women will stay in this palace and take good care of the emperor."

The autumn hunting was just in two days. Qin Liuse was relieved after hearing the news. Since the emperor would not bring his concubines with him, it meant that she could finally rest.

Because this year's autumn hunting was indeed sudden, when Qin Liuse found out about it, she had already planned her life during the time when the emperor was away from Beijing.

Apart from working with Concubine Li, she planned to keep the rest of the time to herself.

As long as Emperor Yongjia is in this palace, everyone has to revolve around him. It has been a long time since I have had such a leisurely life.

After seeing off the god-like Emperor Yongjia, Qin Liuse lay in Shu Yuexuan for a day before finding some free time to walk around the Empress Dowager Cixi's palace.

At this time, Concubine Li was also free. When people are free, they have time to think about other things.

She called the maid and asked her about what was going on in Zhou Cairen's room, "How is it? Is there any response over there?"

If she is really pregnant, it would be best to get rid of the baby in her belly quietly while the emperor is away.

The maid shook her head and said, "I have been watching it all the time. There is nothing wrong with the bag. The incense in the room stopped burning after the first day. Maybe they forgot about it on the first day. Now that life is clean, the incense has been lit again."

It sounded as if there was nothing wrong with these words. Concubine Li nodded, and the stone in her heart finally fell.

But she always felt that something was wrong. She didn't know if it was because the Emperor Yongjia's children had been coming one after another recently, which made her feel uneasy and that was why she was like a frightened bird.

Seeing her mistress in great distress, the maid asked, "Xianfei, how about we get a doctor to take a look?"

The imperial physician took the pulse and soon everything became clear.

After hearing this, Concubine Li scolded her, "How foolish! If it were true, and the imperial physician took her pulse and said congratulations, wouldn't the whole palace know about it?"

How can I abort the child secretly?

Concubine Li sighed. Maybe what the maid said was true. It was a pity that there was no one like her in the Imperial Hospital.

Her hands were not long enough to reach in.

Otherwise, if someone from your own came under the pretext of asking for Ping An's pulse, even if you have it, you can tell Zhou Cairen that you don't have it.

Then they secretly abort the fetus.

Pity!

However, the maid's words did serve as a reminder to her that if she wanted to go far in the harem, it would be better to have her own people in the Imperial Hospital.

However, the Imperial Medical Service was like an iron wall, and for a moment, Concubine Li didn’t know how to intervene.

On the other side, the Yongjia Emperor's autumn hunting team had arrived at the royal hunting ground northwest of the capital after a day's journey.

This hunting ground is extremely vast. In addition to grasslands, there are also several mountains. There are all kinds of prey in the hunting ground, so the location was chosen here.

Emperor Yongjia's troops were stationed in Qiu Garden next to the hunting ground.

This time, except for the maids who accompanied and served, there were no female nobles participating in the autumn hunt. It was all men. In addition to most of the royal relatives and brave military generals, some civil officials above the third rank also came to join in the fun.

However, most of these ministers arrived one day in advance to welcome the emperor.
