[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy
Chapter 133: Concubine Becomes Concubine 40
As for Sheng Huan, after the three little ones left, she was not idle either. She took out a book and started reading.
Because she didn't want to be disturbed, there was only Fu Yue serving in the inner room.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Yue was worried that Sheng Huan's eyes would hurt from reading for too long, so she brought him some tea.
"Master, you have been watching for quite some time. Have a cup of tea and rest your eyes."
Sheng Huan heard this and it felt like it had been a long time. She put down the book and joked, "Our Fu Yue is still the most considerate."
Fu Yue felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "As the master's maid, this is what I should do."
Sheng Huan just smiled without saying anything, took the tea, lifted the lid and took a sip.
Seeing Sheng Huan's leisurely appearance, Fu Yue thought that her master's body had been recuperated for more than a year and was no longer as fragile as before. She also remembered that the emperor had mentioned the issue of palace power to her master last night.
She clearly felt that the emperor wanted to give the mistress paternity, but what puzzled her was that the mistress refused.
Thinking of this, she showed a hint of hesitation and confusion on her face.
Sheng Huan caught a glimpse of her expression and wondered what she was thinking, so he asked:
"What's wrong with you? Do you have something to tell me?"
Fu Yue thought about it for a while, and finally asked her doubts:
"Master, why don't you take over the palace power?"
Although the master is now the Imperial Concubine, there are three young masters in the palace, and the Emperor often comes, the people below dare not be harsh on her and will send any good things to her as a tribute first, but it is obviously not as convenient as being in power herself.
There are a lot of benefits after taking power.
It was fine that the master was too weak before and there was nothing we could do, but now he’s much better, so why is he pushing this matter away?
Sheng Huan seemed stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she smiled. She shook her head and said, "There are too many trivial matters in the palace. I am in poor health and don't like to go out. If I take over the power of the palace, I will have to deal with other concubines. Now the children are still young, I still want to focus on them. It is better for them to grow up smoothly."
"Besides, I think life is pretty good now."
She already has a child, and if she takes over the palace power now, she will become a thorn in the Queen's side.
It’s good to get along like this now. If the Queen doesn’t provoke her, she won’t take action.
It’s not that Sheng Huan didn’t want to fight, but there was no need at this moment. Yongzheng was still alive, and the queen only had a few more years left to live, so there was no need to fight for a short period of time.
After the Queen passes away, after a few years of recuperation, her body should be completely healed, and it won't be too late to talk about it then.
Thinking of this, Sheng Huan's eyes were filled with satisfaction and unspeakable sweetness. Even if Fu Yue was taking care of her now, Yong Zheng was still her master. Sheng Huan would not reveal the slightest ambition in front of her. Moreover, there were the Queen's people outside the door. She said:
"I now have the Emperor and a child. I never thought I would have such a paradise before. Why should I try to do both now? I should just take good care of myself. I am very content now."
Based on the cleverness of the three little ones and Yongzheng's preference for them, Sheng Huan felt that he could win easily in this life.
Fu Yue paused and thought, well, anyway, the master is living well now and the emperor is in his prime, so there is no need to be so anxious. She just hopes that the three little masters grow up well.
Fu Yue also laughed: "The three little masters are all filial, and the master will just wait to enjoy happiness in the future."
Outside the house, a little palace maid was standing outside. When she heard these words, her eyes flickered slightly, but she looked at Fu Xue with helplessness on her face.
"This servant, this servant just wants to come and thank the Imperial Concubine for her kindness."
She is Fanglan, a palace maid in the imperial kitchen. She accidentally got her skirt stained when serving meal today, but Sheng Huan did not punish her. He let her go downstairs to change clothes. Now that she has changed, she wants to come over to express her gratitude.
The people in the room seemed to have heard the noise outside. Fu Yue went out to see what was happening. When she saw it was Fang Lan, her palms clenched instantly. Her mind quickly flashed back to the conversation she had just had with her master. When she realized that there was nothing that couldn't be heard by others, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The master asked you to come in."
……
"Your servant Fanglan, kowtows to thank Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
"Get up, and be careful next time." Sheng Huan smiled softly, "If you do it again, I will punish you."
"Don't worry, Royal Concubine. I won't do it again."
"Go back."
Fang Lan said "yes" and left, but when she left she looked up at the woman at the table.
She was so soft and gentle, with a smile on her face, that she was stunned for a moment.
The Imperial Noble Consort is so pretty and has a gentle temperament. She doesn’t have the domineering attitude of a favorite concubine at all. No wonder so many palace people want to serve in Chengqian Palace. She actually wants to too.
No one knew that when she knocked things over today, she was afraid that she would lose her life, so hearing these words now was a blessing in disguise.
When Sheng Huan saw her go down, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
……
Kunning Palace
After the queen finished dealing with the palace affairs, she rubbed her temples. She was still tense from the day before.
She asked Cuiping: "Has Chengqian Palace sent anyone here?"
Cuiping had also been staring at that place. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and said, "No."
The queen didn't believe it: "Is there any other movement?"
Cui Ping hesitated for a moment, but still told what she knew: "Master, not long after noon today, Eunuch Su went to Chengqian Palace to pick up the triplets and took them to Yangxin Palace. There is no more."
The queen's eyes flickered slightly, and she tightened her grip on the account book, leaving wrinkles without noticing:
"I heard that the Imperial Concubine is getting better. Do you think she will come to seize my power, given her status and the Emperor's favor?"
This has always been a concern for the Queen, especially when she learned that Sheng Huan had not been bedridden for some time. Although Sheng Huan had always claimed to be ill and stayed at home, the Queen was afraid that once she came out, she would seize her power in the palace.
To the extent that, he didn't want to hear the news that Sheng Huan came to pay his respects at all. It was good enough that he came.
As for the emperor's favor, she no longer has any extravagant expectations for it. After all, she is old, and it makes her feel most at ease to hold the power of the palace in her hands.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became: "Noble Concubine Nian is useless after all. She was so loud to Commoner Niu Hulu before, but now she is silent when facing the Imperial Concubine."
This surprised her a lot. After all, Concubine Nian was very proud, and now that she was overtaken by someone else, she didn't have any temper. She thought she would see a fight between the two palaces.
I didn't expect that everything would be fine.
Cuiping stopped talking. She couldn't understand this either.
Just as the queen was becoming more and more upset, she saw a palace maid walking in from outside the door.
"Slave, please see the Queen."
"Get up, why are you here?" The Queen was very surprised. Fang Lan was placed in the Imperial Kitchen by her. Sometimes she would go to Chengqian Palace to deliver meals. Thinking of something, her face changed drastically: "What news do you have? Is it related to the Imperial Concubine?"
Fang Lan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed related to the Imperial Concubine."
The Queen said in a deep voice: "But is the Imperial Concubine well?"
Fanglan nodded and shook her head.
Cuiping was anxious: "Tell me what's going on?"
Fang Lan said quickly, "Today, I followed Master to Chengqian Palace to deliver food. I accidentally knocked over the food. Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine did not mind. I changed my clothes and went to thank the Imperial Concubine. I heard the Imperial Concubine and Miss Fuyue say that she did not want the power in the palace. Now she just wanted to take care of herself and watch the prince and princess grow up."
The queen felt relieved, but still asked, "Are you serious?"
"It is absolutely true, Empress, you know that although the Imperial Concubine is under the care of Imperial Physician Zhang, she was injured when giving birth to the triplets, and her health is not good. Naturally, she needs to recuperate now."
"Okay, I understand. You can leave now."
It is very good that the Imperial Concubine does not compete with her for power.
As for the fact that the Imperial Noble Consort was in poor health and yet she monopolized the Emperor's throne, the Empress did not care. She would not be favored anyway, and it was enough for her to have power. It was none of her business whether other concubines were favored or not.
