The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The imperial concubine was not embarrassed and continued: "The emperor must be very worried about my sister's illness. My sister doesn't know anything about it. The emperor is busy with state affairs, forgets to sleep and eat, and often forgets about the harem. I am afraid he has forgotten that my sister is sick now. Since my sister is awake now, how about I send someone to inform the emperor?"

Seeing the earnest look on the imperial concubine's face, Meng Wenyao felt like she was in a mirror. Didn't she just want to know where Meng Wenyao stood in the emperor's heart?

It just so happened that Meng Wenyao also wanted to know whether the emperor had that intention, so why not just follow the trend and let the imperial concubine take the lead to test it out.

She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Ms. Lao, you have taken so much trouble."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the imperial concubine helped Meng Wenyao tuck her feet in and got up to go out.

Fuquan, the chief eunuch of Yuhua Palace, accepted the order with excitement and went to Jianzhang Palace to invite someone. For many years, the emperor had not set foot in the harem. Now, the emperor's new favorite lives in Yuhua Palace. Now the emperor will follow him. When he got up and went to Yuhua Palace, he felt like smoke was coming out of his ancestral graves just thinking about it.

He thought about how to show his face gracefully in front of the emperor. It would be great if he could serve in front of Meng Meiren. He thought about it all the way to Jianzhang Palace.

Zhao Ruhai met Fuquan, listened to his report, turned around and went in to inform the emperor, and received a sentence: "I understand."

Without any other expression, Zhao Ruhai stood for a while and knew the emperor's attitude.

It seemed that the newly named Meng Meiren was just an idler in the palace. He sighed and went out to reply to Fuquan: "The emperor is busy, you go back first, and when the emperor is finished, go and see Meng Meiren."

Fuquan was dumbfounded and wondered what this meant. Was the emperor really busy and would come over later, or was it just an excuse? He didn't dare to go far, so he waited outside Jianzhang Palace in case the emperor came out later. You can see him at a glance.

He looked at the tall walls of Jianzhang Palace and thought that when the imperial concubine was favored, he came to invite the emperor, but he could only go to the side hall to drink a cup of hot tea.

Unlike now, there are only a few familiar faces in the entire Jianzhang Palace, and they all look at him with their nostrils turned upward. If it weren't for the beauty Meng, he might not even be able to enter the Jianzhang Palace today.

He stood like this from noon to evening, and the emperor did not come out of Jianzhang Palace.

"Maybe he is really busy." Fuquan told the concubine when he returned to Yuhua Palace.

The imperial concubine frowned and thought deeply. When the emperor had a new lover in the past, he would always keep him with him. Why now that he has a new favorite, he would ignore her for three or four days.

Could it be that this Meng beauty is really not favored?

She came to Meng Wenyao's bedroom again and held Meng Wenyao's hand affectionately: "Oh sister, the emperor is very busy before the court. I'm afraid he won't have time to come here today. When the emperor goes to court early tomorrow morning, he might come straight to us. It’s Yuhua Palace.”

The imperial concubine said it tactfully, but Meng Wenyao understood the emperor's intention and just gave her a place to stay. She had no intention of favoring her at all!

What should she do? The emperor did not favor her and taught her how to complete the task of giving birth.

With a small mouth curled up, Meng Wenyao said aggrievedly: "Thank you for being considerate, my concubine. I know that I don't know the emperor's holy eyes. If I go to compete for favors blindly, I'm afraid I will make the emperor unhappy. Now that I'm in good health, I want to go to the palace." I pray for the Emperor and the Empress Dowager in the nunnery, and I also hope that the Empress will tell the Emperor and ask the Emperor to grant the blessing."

Meng Wenyao didn't really want to go to the nunnery, thinking that if the emperor really didn't intend to favor her, then she would have no chance of getting close.

However, the Queen Mother worships Buddha every day. If she can get close to the Queen Mother, she will have more opportunities to get closer to the Emperor. As soon as she sees the Emperor again, she will immediately pounce on him to avoid missing the opportunity to fight.

Her little concubine Jiujiu didn't know it. She thought that the new beauty had been neglected by the emperor and wanted to show off her face to the emperor. This was to retreat in order to advance.

It's a pity that the emperor dislikes concubines who don't know how to advance or retreat. The emperor must not be happy if Meng Wenyao makes such a fuss. It's a pity that this face has a pig's brain.

As a concubine, she felt uncomfortable seeing Meng Wenyao being favored. Therefore, she did not intend to remind Meng Wenyao that Meng Wenyao's loss of favor would not do any harm to her, right?

She sighed, fearing that the favor she had obtained from Yuhua Palace would be over.

"Well, sister, go to bed early. I will send someone to go back to the emperor early tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Fuquan was waiting outside Jianzhang Palace, waiting for the emperor to go to court.

At the beginning of the morning, the emperor finally went down to court. He saw the Wuyangyang honor guard approaching from a distance, and Fuquan quickly knelt down to salute.

Long Chu came to the gate of Jianzhang Palace, and the emperor chased him down. Fuquan blocked the emperor's progress at the risk of being knocked.

"To report to the Emperor, Beauty Meng of Yuhua Palace is grateful for the Emperor's favor. Now that she has recovered from her illness, she would like to go to the Buddhist hall to pray for the Emperor and the Queen Mother. I hope the Emperor will allow you to do so."

In the coldest month of winter, Fuquan felt that the back of his clothes had been soaked with cold sweat. In so many years, no concubine had made plans to become a monk after not seeing the emperor for a few days.

The emperor is a high-ranking emperor. When did he bend down to coax a little palace concubine?

At this moment, Fuquan also felt that Meng Wenyao was a little pretentious.

The emperor was stunned and remembered the woman who gave her a collection of poems a few days ago. She was living well in the palace, and Yang Qilang would not chase her to the palace to tease her, so why did he still want to become a monk?

Could it be that you have been wronged in some way?

However, everyone has their own destiny. Although he is the emperor, he does not want to get too involved in other people's cause and effect.

"She is weak. There is no need to go to the Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha with the Queen Mother. She can stay in Yuhua Palace and copy scriptures."

After saying that, the emperor left.

Fuquan saved his life and rushed back to Yuhua Palace to report to the imperial concubine.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? If you care about her, why do you ask her to copy scriptures? Are you not afraid that she is in good health and will be tired from copying scriptures? If you don't care, just send her to the Qinglan Jade Buddha Hall. Why do you still keep her?" Is she being raised in Yuhua Palace with fine clothes and fine food?"

How could Fuquan know? He was just glad that the emperor didn't get angry and he finally came back with his life.

"Tell me, what was the emperor's expression like when he heard this? Was he angry?"

"This servant dare not look at the emperor's face."

That's true. The palace servants always bowed their heads when answering. The imperial concubine couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts, so she had to tell Meng Wenyao truthfully.

In the harem, not only the concubines living in the same palace didn't know what was going on between the emperor and Meng Wenyao, but the other palaces also craned their necks to watch.

A few days passed, but the emperor still did not come to the harem to see his new favorite, nor did he summon Meng Wenyao to Jianzhang Palace.

"Maybe it was just a whim, just for fun." A concubine said while chewing melon seeds.

"Maybe she is like a beautiful lady who occasionally plays the piano for the emperor and is not really favored by the dragon." Another concubine said.

This conjecture is quite reasonable. When there was a fire in Jianzhang Palace, the emperor survived a narrow escape and never had a concubine in the harem again.

The Queen Mother felt sorry that the Emperor had no caring people, so she specially found an actor who was good at playing the piano to serve the Emperor and help him relieve his depression.
