The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Half an hour later, the imperial concubine was about to faint when she heard footsteps coming from behind her again.

She turned around and saw Yao Xingde again.

"But Your Majesty wants to see me?"

"Your Majesty knows your thoughts, but you are still worried, so you asked your servant to bring you an umbrella and a cloak."

As he spoke, he turned slightly to one side. Only then did the imperial concubine see that the little eunuch following him was holding a squarely folded cloak in both hands, and he was still holding an umbrella handle in his right hand.

"Your Majesty said that the sun is shining right now, so I should cover you up. Now that it is cold, Your Majesty is concerned about the thin clothes you are wearing, so he asked your servant to bring you a cloak to put it on to prevent you from catching a cold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are thinking about it." A smile appeared on the imperial concubine's lips: "But, I am here to plead guilty, so why do I have the dignity to wear an umbrella and a cloak? Eunuch Yao should just take it."

Yao Xingde tried to persuade her for a long time, but the imperial concubine still refused to accept it.

"Since you insist on this, I won't persuade you any more. However, this is His Majesty's wish for you, and I can never take it away."

After speaking, he motioned to the young eunuch to place the things on the open space next to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine sighed: "It is precisely because of His Majesty's wishes that I feel more and more guilty."

Yao Xingde said a few words of comfort before leading the people back to the front hall.

After his figure disappeared, the little eunuch who had told the imperial concubine Lu Zhaolin to go to the front hall before diligently stepped forward and said: "My dear imperial concubine, can I hold an umbrella for you?"

"Put it down." The imperial concubine gave him a cold look.

The little eunuch was frightened by the awe-inspiring look in her eyes. He put down the handle of his umbrella and returned to the door of the palace to stand with his hands down.

This news quickly reached Lu Zhaolin's ears.

He snorted coldly: "Eat everything inside and outside."

Just like those moths in the court.

Let's wait a little longer until Lin You comes back.

After more than half an hour, a young eunuch came into the palace and said that the imperial concubine had fainted.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "How long has she been kneeling in total?"

Yao Xingde said: "About two hours."

Lu Zhaolin sneered: "Forget it. Send her back to Xianfu Palace, and send the imperial doctor to Xianfu Palace to have a look."

Not long after, a decree came from Ganquan Palace.

The general meaning is that the imperial concubine acted inappropriately, causing the beauty to have a miscarriage. However, this matter is not the fault of the imperial concubine alone, but the disrespect of the beautiful woman first, and the imperial concubine just made an unintentional mistake. Therefore, the imperial concubine's palace rights were taken away and she was fined another half a year's salary as punishment.

This decree soon spread throughout the Sixth Palace and reached Jiang Shiying's ears.

Ah Yuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you love your concubine so much?"

Jiang Shiying put the half-read book on the table with her backhand and shook her head: "It's not pampering."

Qiu Yu was puzzled: "Then why is the punishment so light?"

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Have you forgotten about the queen?"

Regarding the Queen's matter, as those people in Yongxiang were silenced, all suspicions fell on Yi Meiren's head.

Lu Zhaolin didn't explicitly punish the beauty, but he had already made a note for her in his heart. Yi Meiren lost this child, which happened to make Lu Zhaolin express his feelings.

A Yuan suddenly realized: "That's it."

Jiang Shiying pursed her lips and smiled.

In addition, there was another reason that she never mentioned.

Your Majesty's indulgence towards the imperial concubine today was ninety-nine percent intentional. Otherwise, how could the imperial concubine feel that His Majesty valued her and wanted to make her the imperial concubine?

The Han family of the previous dynasty would probably think the same way.

Flowers are blooming in clusters, fire is cooking oil, it’s nothing more than this.

Let’s see, how many more days will it take for this building to collapse?

···

When it gets dark, Yimei slowly wakes up.

"My little master is finally awake." Chongxue helped her stand up with a look of joy on her face, and then handed her a tea cup: "This red date and ginger tea has been warming on the stove. Little master, please moisten your throat."

Yi Meiren took it and took two sips, then asked: "Where is your Majesty?"

Chongxue said: "Your Majesty stayed with the young master for a long time. After all, it was not easy to delay the government affairs, so he returned to Ganquan Palace. Before leaving, he also asked the slaves to take good care of him."

The beauty asked: "How long is it? Half an hour?"

Chongxue hesitated to speak.

The beautiful woman seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It seems that there is no more."

Chongxue was about to comfort her when she asked again: "Has your Majesty punished the noble concubine?"

"Penalized"

"What's the punishment?"

Chongxue's face stiffened and she said, "The imperial concubine took off her hairpin in Ganquan Palace to plead guilty. She knelt for two hours and finally fainted from her knees."

The beauty's face darkened: "I didn't ask that, I asked you how your majesty punished her?"

Chongxue said: "Your Majesty said that you don't know that you are pregnant, and neither does the imperial concubine. What happened today was purely accidental. The imperial concubine already knew that she was wrong, so she took away the power of the palace. , and fine her another half a year’s salary.”

After the words fell, Yi Meiren raised her hand and slammed the tea cup in her hand to the ground.

Her chest heaved up and down with anger: "I lost a child, your Majesty only punishes the concubine with half a year's salary?"

Chongxue patted her back to cheer her up: "She still has the right to control the palace. The imperial concubine's right to control the palace has also been taken away."

Yi Meiren snorted coldly: "The power of controlling the palace is taken away from her today and can be given to her again tomorrow. Isn't it all based on your Majesty's wishes?"

While she was talking, tears dripped from her eyes and seeped into the brocade quilt.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became: "Why? Just because she can stay with His Majesty longer?"

Chongxue hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be angry, little master. The top priority is to take good care of yourself first. The wind and water will take turns. Sooner or later, we will be able to come back with revenge."

Yi Meiren gritted her teeth: "No! I don't want to wait for the situation to change slowly. Doesn't she want to be the imperial concubine? I will help her, but I don't know if she is so lucky."

···

After Yi Meiren had a miscarriage, although Lu Zhaolin's punishment was as light as child's play, the imperial concubine saw that she had calmed down a lot.

On September 25th, Xianyue, who was beside the imperial concubine, came to Jingyang Palace again to ask for an audience.

This time, she came to deliver the invitation.

"The end of the month is our queen's birthday. Our queen said that she would like to take advantage of this day to invite all the queens in the harem to come to Xianfu Palace to have a gathering, so that the sisters can have fun together."

Jiang Shiying took the gold-gilded post in her hand, opened it gently, glanced at it, and put it on the table: "I know, and I will go to the banquet on time."

Xianyue bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Concubine Chen. I will take my leave."

The invitation to the imperial concubine's birthday party was not only sent to the concubines, but also to Ganquan Palace.

The invitation from Ganquan Palace was naturally delivered by the imperial concubine herself.

"If I'm not busy, I'll go and sit down."

"Then I will wait patiently for Your Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and sent her out.

After the palace door closed, Lu Zhaolin opened the invitation, his eyes fell on the words "September 30", and he froze slightly.

"I remember, Lin You returned to Beijing on the 29th?"

Yao Xingde lowered his head and said: "Exactly."

Lu Zhaolin slowly raised the corners of his lips: "What a coincidence."
