A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C178
Han Liuliu laughed. “Actually, if the emperor had ordered an imperial concubine to be Empress, he would have ordered it long ago. Right now, you have three stumbling blocks in front of you. It’s very difficult to be an imperial concubine!”
Leng Qiyue nodded and said, “Recently, Imperial Concubine Rong has been very well-behaved and has been living in seclusion in order to manage the harem. She had the support of the empress dowager, and now that her pregnancy had become a real one, it was very likely that she would become a queen if she gave birth to a boy. Compared to that, I actually want to make Rong Fei the empress. ”
Han Liu rubbed medicine on Leng Qiyue’s face as she said, “Imperial Concubine Rong’s family background is no worse than Imperial Concubine Lin’s. If Imperial Concubine Rong is the empress, then the Left Premier’s side will be completely devoted to the emperor. That’s a good thing, but that would be wronging the Empress.”
Leng Qiyue shook her head. “There’s not much of a conflict between Rong Fei and I, she’s young and vigorous, and it’s hard to avoid offending people. But then again, it’s not easy for her to properly manage the harem. Han Liu, to tell you the truth, I didn’t like her when I first entered the palace, but after a while I began to feel the pain in her heart, so there was nothing to hate about it. If I can find the Phoenix Seal, I will put her in the position of Empress. It is also not bad to have free time in front of Imperial Consort, you know I hate settling debts. ”
Han Liu laughed. “Empress is the lazy one to manage the harem, right? Actually, you don’t care about your status. You’ve always wanted people to not offend you, so I won’t offend you. “But this is the imperial harem, there’s absolutely no peaceful days here. The Empress should just wait for the next move.”
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she felt somewhat dejected. Although she didn’t care about status, she couldn’t do without status. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so innocently slapped today.
At this moment, Rong Fei who was standing at the entrance of the Moon Flower Palace quietly wiped away her tears. She had heard the conversation just now. She hadn’t thought that Leng Qiyue would understand her heart and even speak up for her. For a moment, she felt that she had grown quite a bit. In order to maintain his family’s position and monopolize the emperor, he had fought to be jealous of the Emperor and had done many things that he had deliberately set up. Now, he thought of her as a friend. There was a hidden dagger in his smile. She thought it was an enemy, but she was speaking up for her. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Rong Fei took a deep breath and walked in.
When Leng Qiyue saw that Rong Fei had arrived, she called out to her. “Little sister, come sit down. In the future, if there’s no one else around, your sister will not have to bow anymore. It’s really troublesome. ”
Rong Fei was amused by Leng Qiyue’s expression. She smiled and said, “I heard that big sister got beaten up by the empress dowager, so little sister rushed over to deliver the snow lotus raw flesh ointment. It’ll help relieve the swelling and relieve the pain.”
Leng Qiyue glanced at Han Liu, who took it over from the palace maid.
Rong Fei said, “Actually, breaking a flower isn’t a big deal. It’s most likely Lin Fei who gossiped behind his back.”
Leng Qiyue nodded and said, “Forget it. “How are things with your son’s affairs?”
Rong Fei was in charge of the harem, so she was also in charge of the harem’s funeral.
Rong Fei sighed and said, “Actually, little sister came here this time to take care of concubine, and there are a lot of wounds on her body. I have already ordered the servants to keep quiet. However, if Xifei’s family were to see this sort of corpse, it would most likely cause many misunderstandings. ”
Leng Qiyue’s eyes darkened. She knew that Rong Fei knew the inside story, so she didn’t explain any further. He said, “Although I am not a rich person, if this news were to spread, my reputation as a royal family would not be good. I might as well just quietly bury her and find a place to burn down. Just say that the palace maids on night watch didn’t think that the fire would be able to burn her corpse. ”
Rong Fei said, “That’s all we can do. I will reward her family with some silver taels to comfort them.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, little sister.” When she mentioned Imperial Concubine, Leng Qiyue’s stomach was filled with hatred, as if millions of ants were gnawing on her bones.
Rong Fei stood up, patted her shoulder and said, “Elder sister, don’t be sad. People are doing it, the sky is looking at it. Right now, big sister needs to take care of her body and give birth to the prince safely. ” She paused before continuing, “Can elder sister agree to a request?”
Leng Qiyue asked, “What request?”
Rong Fei said desolately: “I … It’s impossible for me to have children. If my sister gives birth to a girl, can I raise her? ”
“What?” Leng Qiyue looked at her in astonishment. What was going on? “My sister is still young, how can she not have children?” With that, she grabbed Rong Fei’s wrist and started to check her pulse.
Rong Fei’s pulse told Leng Qiyue that she had truly lost her ability to reproduce.
Rong Fei said with a wry smile, “Jade Concubine thought that I was the one who harmed her child, but she actually wasn’t. The child of Yufei was caused by the butterfly concubine. The butterfly concubine would bury some musk in her palace, which would cause her to miscarry after a long time. This is also the reason for my miscarriage, but I found out too late, and can no longer be a mother. ”
“Musk? How did you find out? ” Leng Qiyue asked.
Rong Fei continued, “I knew that Die Fei had buried some musk in Jade Concubine’s house. It’s all my fault for harming her heart. In the end, I also received my retribution. After Yufei miscarried, I was pregnant too, but it flowed in a few days. The emperor didn’t know about this, so I didn’t say anything. Until a few days ago, I accidentally broke a pot of kumquats from Hou Mansion, only to find that it was filled with musk. It was only then that I realized that even I had been schemed against by the Butterfly Consort. It was just that I discovered it too late, and since things have already come to this point, what can I do even if I were to tell the Emperor? ”
Leng Qiyue’s sympathy started to flood again. “Fine, if I give birth to a daughter for you to raise, let her call you mother, okay?”
Rong Fei said happily: “Really? Once I enter the palace, my heart is as deep as the sea. It is impossible for me to leave, and if I do not have a daughter, I will only be able to listen to the new person’s laughter in the future. ”
Leng Qiyue held onto Consort Rong’s hand and placed it on her stomach. “Feel it. This place is where life is conceived, where your child is conceived.”
Rong Fei caressed her stomach, her face filled with maternal radiance. In the end, she couldn’t help but cry.
As Leng Qiyue wiped her tears, she said, “Look at you. How big a person are you? You can cry at any time.”
Rong Fei took a deep breath and said, “I’ve been fighting for it this whole time, afraid that my family’s position will be lost after I lose it, afraid that father will be demoted. “Only now do I understand that many things are not things that can be obtained just by force.”
Leng Qiyue laughed, “That’s right, let nature take its course. It’s rare for us to be of the same mind, so don’t try to scheme against us in the future. As you know, my goal is not you, so you don’t have to be on guard against me. ”
Rong Fei’s tears turned into a smile. The two women had actually relied on an unborn baby to put down their grudges and turn hostility into friendship.
The two chatted for a while longer before Little Shun Zi came running in from the entrance. Looking at his anxious face, it was obvious that something had happened.
