The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Qin Xiyue knew that An Shutong was not a good person to get along with, so it was not kind to tell her the news now.

However, she was really upset.

The emperor actually ignored that Song Yunzhao stayed overnight during her pregnancy. Since Song Yunzhao became pregnant, the emperor has hardly stayed in Wangyou Palace. This also made everyone think that Song Yunzhao was pregnant and the emperor would no longer favor her.

It was like this in the time of the first emperor, when any favorite concubine was pregnant, even the famous brand would be removed, at least it would not reappear until after giving birth to a child.

In this dynasty, the emperor has never used a famous brand, and used to rotate among the three concubines, but later he only favored Song Yunzhao.

She knew that when she came to the palace to escape the summer heat this time, the Empress Dowager would mention the famous brand to the Emperor. This was the news that Concubine Zhuang gave her, and it was the first step to suppress Song Yunzhao.

But I didn't expect that the famous brand hadn't been implemented yet, and the emperor actually broke the previous balance and stayed at Song Yunzhao's place.

This matter looks small, but it is very tricky.

An Shutong looked at Qin Xiyue. Although he tried his best to suppress his expression, there was still some displeasure and fear in his eyes.

She already knew some inside information about what happened last time. Although she didn't grasp the clue, Qin Xiyue hadn't seen anyone for a while, which made her very suspicious.

After all, on that day, according to the plan of the Empress Dowager, she should not have slept so deeply. As a result, not only did she sleep deeply, but her body was also very uncomfortable. She suspected that someone had tampered with her.

It's just that the queen mother was furious at that time, and the emperor pressed her hard. She really didn't dare to say anything, and she left the palace the next day, but it didn't mean that the matter was over.

An Shutong added slowly at this time, "I heard from Madam Yao that the emperor did not go to the front hall to be a council member today, and he was still with Song Zhaoyi. It is really enviable that Song Zhaoyi is so valued by the emperor."

After hearing An Shutong's words, Qin Xiyue didn't show any abnormality on her face, and said with a smile: "Miss An didn't stay in the palace for a long time, so I probably think this incident is very unexpected, but it's a big deal for Song Zhaoyi. Very unusual."

An Shutong knew that Qin Xiyue said this on purpose, but it was really hard not to feel sad.

Which woman in this world doesn't want a husband who is gentle and considerate?

The two people's conversations were not congenial, and the atmosphere became a little weird. Only the sound of drizzle falling on the eaves of the pavilion made people even more depressed.

"I don't know when it will rain." Qin Xiyue took the initiative to break the silence, "I originally wanted to visit Song Zhaoyi, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to disturb me right now. I don't know if Ms. An is interested in going to my place, please. A few people come to play leaf cards to pass the time."

An Shutong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she said: "If you don't disturb Qin Wanyi, Shutong will naturally be happy."

"It's not bothering you, it's just passing the time." Qin Xiyue stood up, smiled and called her maid over, telling her to go back and get ready.

An Shutong and Qin Xiyue walked side by side, both of them had smiles on their faces, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.

"This is my first time in the palace, and I don't know what to do here." Qin Xiyue said.

An Shutong knew what Qin Xiyue meant, she followed the queen mother, the queen mother had followed the late emperor to the palace to escape the summer heat, so she must know what to do in the palace.

"The palace is not as strict as the palace. There are hot springs to soak in, and there are pastures at the foot of the mountain to ride horses. If you are brave enough, you can go hunting in the mountains." Speaking of this, An Shutong smiled, "I heard that there is a market at the foot of the mountain. I heard from the Empress Dowager that someone once went to the market. Moreover, the purpose of coming to the palace to escape the summer heat is to relax, and banquets are often held. I only heard it occasionally, so I don’t know if it’s right. Qin Wanyi just listened to it. "

Qin Xiyue had inquired about it before coming to the palace, but she was not as careful as An Shutong said.

The first emperor was a pleasure-loving person, so it cannot be said that singing and dancing every day in the palace is similar, but the emperor is different, he may not be able to do such things.

"I'm relieved to have Ms. An's words. I'm always afraid of losing my appearance when I first come to the palace." Qin Xiyue took An Shutong into her own yard, and Dong Guiren lived with her.

Dong Guiren was drinking tea under the eaves of the verandah, he was surprised to see the two of them coming back together, he hurriedly got up to salute, and greeted An Shutong again.

"Dong Guiren is free right now, Ms. An and I are going to play leaf cards."

"Of course I'm free." Dong Guiren could not disagree, "But we are still short of one person."

Qin Xiyue smiled and said: "Then go and ask Concubine Fan if she is available."

Huaying hurriedly responded, turned around and walked out.

Fangping came back one step earlier, the card tables were all set up, and she invited the three of them in with a smile.

Dong Guiren's eyes rolled around, thinking that Qin Wanyi went out early in the morning and brought Miss An back. No matter how she looked at it, she felt strange.

But she could only think about it in her heart but didn't dare to ask a single word, besides, there were many rumors in the palace, especially the last time Miss An was sent out of the palace, and it was rumored that Qin Wanyi had a hand in it.

It doesn't look like it now.

Concubine Fan came very quickly, and the four of them played cards as soon as they were seated, and the atmosphere became lively immediately.

When the news reached Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang really didn't know what face to put on.

Qin Xiyue is really amazing. She has plotted against An Shutong with her front foot, but she can still play cards affectionately with people with her back foot.

"Is the Empress Dowager awake?" Concubine Zhuang asked.

Yan Zhi shook her head, "The servant came from there, the Empress Dowager has not got up yet."

Concubine Zhuang sneered, she must have been annoyed by the emperor, she was getting old, she couldn't sleep well at night, and she couldn't get up in the morning.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't say the rules for asking them to greet each other every day, otherwise everyone would have to wait now.

"Go and ask Concubine Wan if she is free."

"yes."

Soon the person came back, Yanzhi replied: "Concubine Wan was startled by the night rain last night, and now she is having a headache, the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine."

Concubine Zhuang: ...

This medicine jar.

In the past, when I got sick, eight times out of ten I pretended to be sick.

Now half of it is true. It can be seen that this person cannot pretend to be sick. After a long time, even the heavens think that you should be sick.

Really bad luck.

"Your Majesty." Yun Dai quickly walked in from the outside, handed the umbrella to the little maid, stomped her feet before entering the hall, "Madam asked if you are free, and would like to see you."

Concubine Zhuang was taken aback, "Did mother say something else?"

"Madam didn't say anything, she just asked this question." Yun Dai hurriedly replied.

Concubine Zhuang didn't expect her mother to see her so soon, could something have happened to her?

"Go yourself and bring Madam in." Concubine Zhuang said.

Yun Dai nodded hurriedly, "I'm going now, my maidservant, do you want to answer the Empress Dowager's side?"

Concubine Zhuang's expression turned cold, "The empress dowager hasn't got up yet, so don't disturb the empress dowager's rest with such a trivial matter."
