Uncle Huang is picturesque

When Xue Lingshan gave birth to a prince, her status naturally rose. People said that a mother is more expensive than a child. Xue Lingshan had already been a noble concubine before.

Therefore, it has been more than a month since Xue Lingshan gave birth to the prince, and the entire harem seemed very quiet, but everything before the storm was very calm.Today is Xue Lingshan's first greeting to the empress after giving birth. Xue Lingshan naturally knows the way to survive in the harem: "Although I dote on the sixth palace now, I am not the one who does this, and Xue Lingshan has never She never thought about being a queen, she just wanted to guard the one she loved. Now that she has a child, he just hopes that his child can grow up safely, but in this harem, if the child wants to grow up, it is a matter of life. difficult thing.

Before Xue Lingshan gave birth to the prince, she naturally couldn't care about the hearts of those mothers. Since she entered the palace, there were many concubines in the harem, but very few of them were pregnant, and even fewer gave birth to children.After those children were born, they were taken care of by their wet nurses and sent to elder brother's house after they were three or four years old. They left the protection of their mothers. Naturally, their future was uncertain.

So after Xue Lingshan gave birth to the prince, she made a request to the emperor, hoping that her child could be brought by her side after the age of ten, so that Xue Lingshan would have enough time to teach her child how to survive in the harem.

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress."

Xue Lingshan's voice was unhurried, and she was not proud of being favored because of the birth of a prince.Although the emperor ordered Xue Lingshan to be exempted from paying respects to the empress, but this honor and favor must not be kept by Xue Lingshan. This will only make him make more enemies in the palace.

"Get up, you just gave birth to a child, so you don't need to be polite, give me your seat." Although the empress was upset, she still had to maintain a decent smile on her face.

Just ask these concubines present here, which one is not in front of the face and behind the back, with a respectful smile on his face, but in his heart he is thinking about how to break her, the queen, from this position.

"The imperial concubine is really young. After giving birth to a child, her figure is not out of shape. She is still so weak. I really envy others." Among the four concubines, Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu and Empress Empress It was when the current emperor was still a prince, he had already entered the palace.He can be regarded as an old man in this palace.Of course, she also gave birth to the emperor's first son.

"Sister Concubine Shu was joking, it's just that my sister has always been on the thin side, and now she has gained a lot of weight after having a baby." Xiaosi smiled lightly.

"Sister Concubine Shu is naturally not joking and wants me to tell you, Madam, your figure is indeed envied by many people. People say that women tend to look old after giving birth, but you look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy now. Like a girl."

Xue Lingshan looked over and saw that it was Mrs. An who entered the palace last year. He heard that he seemed to have some relationship with the emperor's family.Xue Lingshan smiled, "Ben Gong is naturally no better than my younger sister. My younger sister is young and beautiful, and she is in her prime. This is the most beautiful age for a woman."

An Guiren smiled smugly. Indeed, only a 16-year-old girl was sitting here, and the others were much older than Shang.

But this nobleman forgot that the most taboo thing for women is age, especially for women in this palace, this age is worn away in the year after year of waiting.When Mrs. An brought up this remark, the other concubines looked at him with displeasure, but in this palace, they have long been unemotional, and this Mr. An and the empress are also related. He didn't have the guts to turn his face immediately.

The empress has been struggling in this palace for so many years, so she naturally has a lot of lives than this An Gui. Hearing An Gui's words like this, she naturally knew that it would cause everyone's displeasure, so she immediately took over the conversation and said: "I called all the sisters to my palace today to discuss the emperor's birthday with you. Although the emperor's birthday is naturally arranged by the people from the Ministry of Rituals, as the emperor's concubines, we also have to prepare some gifts for the emperor. Your majesty We have worked hard for the state affairs this year, we call it the harem, and we must be considerate of the emperor, so I want all the sisters to think about it when they go back. If you have any novel ideas, you can tell me, and we will prepare a surprise for the emperor together. "

As soon as the empress's words came out, the concubines present couldn't help discussing in low voices. This was the first time. In the past, the emperor's birthday was arranged by people from the Ministry of Rites. These concubines just wanted to prepare some small gifts. It's ok, but this year the Empress said this, presumably she was trying to make something different.

So everyone has their own thoughts, some people think this is an opportunity for them to show their faces in front of the emperor, and some people think that this is simply to embarrass them. It's just training, and I haven't dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics, so I don't have any novel ideas.

Everyone gathered around again, and after chatting about some irrelevant things, the queen let all the concubines go away.

The concubines left the queen's palace in twos and threes, and everyone was discussing this matter.

"Why does the empress think of this thing today? This is obviously to embarrass us. We don't see the emperor once in more than half a month on weekdays. How can we figure out the emperor's preferences? This is again For the emperor's birthday, if the gift arouses the emperor's interest, we may not be able to keep our heads."

Because the not-so-favored concubine complained a little.

"Sister Yinpin, at least the emperor will visit you once every half a month, but I haven't seen the emperor in two months, the last time I just entered the palace, what do you call this?"

The two little concubines walked in front and complained a little irritably, not knowing: "Xue Lingshan is really walking behind them, their voices have completely fallen into Xue Lingshan's ears. But Xue Lingshan just pretended not to hear. The less you know in this palace, the easier you can live.

"You said that the empress is not only to congratulate the emperor, but also to win favor on the eighth day of her birthday. You said that the imperial concubine is now left with the emperor's favor for her, and the whole harem knows, and the empress likes the imperial concubine, not twice a day. It's a matter of God, and everyone inside and outside the harem knows: "So now the imperial concubine empress dotes on the sixth palace empress, she is naturally impatient, but why did she take us to accompany her. "
