Chapter 105: Concubine Becomes Concubine 12
At this time, Concubine Xi could be said to be the public enemy of the harem. After all, the emperor didn't like to enter the harem. Now that Concubine Xian had entered the palace, he also went to Chengqian Palace on the few days he did. Everyone in the harem was annoyed.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xi's face instantly darkened.
She gets stressed out every time she hears about Concubine Xian these days. What's more, Concubine Xian is still favored. She has been having nightmares for days, always feeling that her current power and status will be taken away.
She also knew that Concubine Xian was infertile, so she had been keeping a close eye on the Fourth Prince these days, fearing that he would be snatched away if she wasn't careful.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xi's expression was filled with disgust: "What are you talking about, Sister Noble Concubine? Although I and Concubine Xian are sisters, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Concubine Xian has this honor, but it has nothing to do with me."
Concubine Xi naturally wanted to discredit Sheng Huan for having an affair with the emperor, but the emperor knew the whole story of that day, and even the imperial edict that conferred the title of concubine clearly explained the matter. Concubine Xi naturally did not dare to disobey the order.
Hearing this, Concubine Nian sneered, "Concubine Xi is good at talking, but I wonder what Concubine Xian thinks of you."
Seeing Concubine Xi's attitude, she knew that she would not join forces with Concubine Xian. Concubine Nian felt relieved for a moment, but she disliked Concubine Xi even more. After all, this person relied on having a son and dared to mock her before. She was simply ignorant of the world.
Before, I was worried that it would be difficult to deal with Concubine Xi if there was one more Concubine Xian, but now it’s not so bad.
Concubine Nian naturally didn't know that Concubine Xi was acting so recklessly because she would die early.
Concubine Xi ignored her and looked at the Queen, bowing: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian was weak before, but now she is under the care of the Imperial Hospital and has served in bed. I think she is almost well now. It's still early today, so why not send someone to invite her over."
She laughed and said, "After all, we serve the emperor together. It would be a joke if the sisters didn't recognize each other."
The queen nodded when she heard this. She was indeed curious about this virtuous concubine and was dissatisfied that she had not come to pay respects to him for so long. However, she still smiled generously and virtuously, not mentioning the fact that Yongzheng had exempted her from paying respects to him.
"What Concubine Xi said is true. As expected of sisters from the same mansion, you still care about Concubine Xian."
As she spoke, she looked at Cuiping and said, "Cuiping, go to Chengqian Palace in person to invite someone."
"Yes."
Cuiping bowed and left.
The concubines were all absent-minded because the virtuous concubine was coming. They chatted for a while, but their eyes were all looking towards the door, wanting to see what the virtuous concubine looked like.
……
Cheng Qiangong
Cuiping's arrival created a tense atmosphere in Chengqian Palace.
"Miss Fuyue, now that the virtuous concubine has come to sleep with you, you should go to Kunning Palace to pay your respects."
Fu Yue's expression remained unchanged: "Our queen is weak and had a cough today. The emperor has exempted the queen from paying respects."
Cui Ping looked unhappy, but she kept her composure and said meaningfully, "Miss Fuyue, Concubine Xian has already slept with you. How weak can she be? If she is sick, just remove the green card. Besides, the Empress is the head of the harem and the mother of the country. Concubine Xian will have to pay her respects sooner or later."
"What's more, Concubine Xi is also waiting for Concubine Xian. After all, they are sisters. Concubine Xi is worried about Concubine Xian."
Fu Yue's face darkened when she heard that, but when she thought of her master who looked listless after getting up today, she wanted to say something.
Then I heard a weak cough coming from the room: "Fu Yue, come in and help me change my clothes."
Sheng Huan had known about this for a long time. I guessed that this would happen sooner or later. It was worth it that she pretended to be sick after waking up today. It would be good for her to show up now to deepen everyone's impression that she is a sickly person, so that everyone will not use these tricks on her.
……
In Kunning Palace, everyone waited for a while, and then they saw Cuiping coming back first. However, unlike her usual calmness, her face turned a little pale. Everyone was puzzled, and before they could ask, they heard singing coming from outside the house.
"The Concubine Xian has arrived!"
Everyone looked over immediately, and their first impression was that she was a sickly beauty who looked as weak as a willow in the wind.
I saw a woman in light blue palace dress being helped in from outside the door. Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, but her lips were obviously pale. Her face looked sick, and her almond-shaped eyes were open weakly. Most of her strength was pressed on the palace maid.
Although so fragile, she is still very charming.
"Your humble servant pays respect to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with good health and good health."
She spoke in a soft, pleasant but weak voice. After she had said a few words, she began to breathe heavily, as if she had exerted a great deal of effort.
When everyone saw this, their hearts skipped a beat. They remembered what the Imperial Hospital had said before, that even if Concubine Xian wanted to take care of herself, her health was still very poor. Now that she saw him, she felt like she was going to die in the next second.
"Hey, sister Xianfei, please sit down. I know you are not feeling well. I would not have listened to Xifei and asked you to come out and meet everyone."
As soon as the queen opened her mouth, she put all the blame on Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi was not angry. After all, she was happy to see Sheng Huan in such a dying state.
But there was a trace of worry on her face: "I haven't seen Concubine Xian for too long, Concubine Xian won't blame me, right?"
“No, ahem…”
Sheng Huan shook her head and seemed to be unable to hold back her coughing. She coughed for quite a while and her cheeks were flushed. Fu Yue patted her back worriedly. Sheng Huan shook her head at her and looked at Concubine Xi:
"No wonder."
He had only said two words when his brows furrowed and his eyes looked even more tired.
Everyone present was panicking, fearing that something might happen to Concubine Xian. Even if the Emperor asked someone to sleep with him, it would only be a few days, and it was unclear whether she would be able to enjoy the emperor's bed or not. No one thought Sheng Huan was pretending, after all, if he was sick he couldn't sleep with him. Instead, they were worried that the Emperor would be angry with him.
So everyone didn't dare to make things difficult for him, but instead behaved in a friendly manner.
"The virtuous concubine has taken medicine."
"I have always said that Concubine Xian is a beauty, and now I finally see her."
Everyone was talking, and Sheng Huan would respond from time to time, but she would gasp for air after each response, and after that, no one dared to let her speak anymore.
"Xian Fei is not feeling well. Go back and rest first. I will let the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital take a look at you later."
The Queen was also afraid that something might happen to Sheng Huan in her palace, so she didn't dare to keep her. She even regretted letting her come.
……
Sheng Huan returned to the palace and fell ill that day.
When Yongzheng learned about this after leaving the court, he punished everyone in Chengqian Palace.
Especially when he saw the woman whose cheeks were flushed and as weak as she was more than two months ago, a trace of anger flashed through his heart.
"I told you this morning when I left that Concubine Xian was weak and had a cough today. Why didn't you stop her from going out?"
Fu Yue knelt on the ground, looking embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the Queen has never paid respects before, and I have been feeling anxious and uneasy. I was lying in bed resting today, but..."
Fu Yue's master was Yongzheng after all, so she didn't hide it and said, "Cui Ping from Kunning Palace came to invite me. I heard that Concubine Xi also wanted to see the master. The master didn't want to embarrass the queen and Concubine Xi, so she went out."
Hearing this, Yongzheng felt sorry for Sheng Huan's cautiousness. He also thought of Concubine Xi's hostility towards Sheng Huan in the previous life. Thinking that she should not have entered his backyard, he lowered his eyes, turned his ring, and said:
"I don't want to hear there will be a next time."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fu Yue kowtows.
……
Sheng Huan fell ill for several days, and Yongzheng did not avoid it and went to Chengqian Palace every day.
On the first day, Sheng Huan chased people away through the bed curtain.
"Your Majesty's body is precious. I..." I thought of something and changed my words, "I am sick. It would be bad if I pass it on to Your Majesty..."
"Youqing said that I have the body of a dragon. This little bit of cold is nothing to me."
As Yongzheng spoke, he had already drawn aside the bed curtain and came in, holding her hand.
Of course he wouldn't leave. He had just opened her heart. If he left now, wouldn't it make her close her heart again?
He will do better. Even if she doesn't know about her past life, he will be better than Lao Ba.
Maybe it was because of comparison, maybe it was because of guilt and pity, or maybe it was because of the countless secret concerns in the previous life. The man himself didn't realize that his heart had already been moving closer to her.
