Imperial Plot - C261 intumescence
Zhou Xu frowned, she always felt that Yun Mengqi’s words were not very comfortable to hear.
Even though these matters were still early, she had already planned on cultivating herself to become a tool to suppress the Zhong Miao Yi, and hadn’t asked if she was willing or not.
Moreover, even if she didn’t tell Su Zeyi, Su Zeyi would still give her this ranking because of her background.
Zhou Xu was not feeling well, so she did not say much and only nodded lightly.
I’ll arrange a banquet for you in a few days’ time as a form of congratulation. When that time comes, the empress dowager will also be present, and the emperor will definitely come. After Yun Mengqi finished speaking, she left.
Zhou Xu sat alone, having her own plans.
She never wanted to depend on Yun Mengqi. Previously, she was forced to do so and wanted to suppress the Zhong Miao Yi, but it didn’t seem to be effective now.
The biggest ability of the Zhong Miao Yi was that she could firmly grasp Su Zeyi’s heart. Other than her, no one else could do this.
Just from this point alone, the Zhong Miao Yi was not someone that could be easily overturned.
“Honorable person.” When the Little Maid that followed the imperial physician to retrieve the items returned, she saw Zhou Xu sitting alone, asking her if there was anything wrong.
Zhou Xu frowned and told her to get out.
Little Maid was shocked. She didn’t know why Owner’s temper became so weird after she went out for a trip, but she didn’t dare to ask too much and directly left.
She had interacted with the Zhong Miao Yi before. If the Zhong Miao Yi had displayed a great desire for favors from the start and Su Zeyi had treated the Zhong Miao Yi the same way he treated them, then the Zhong Miao Yi might not be living a good life. At the same time, there wouldn’t be so many people who would hate her.
This was because her days of hardship were enough for her to use all her strength to deal with them. She didn’t need others to deal with her.
But the situation in the Zhong Miao Yi was just that unique.
It was her that didn’t want to be pampered and hid from the emperor, while Su Zeyi desperately tried to move closer to her in order to warm her heart.
Which female in the harem could endure such a provocation, so it was inevitable that Zhong Miao Yi would become a thorn in everyone’s side.
The Zhong Miao Yi knew very well what would happen if she chose to accept Su Zeyi’s kindness.
But she had no other choice, she had to make this decision for Zhong Jiming. She regretted it so much that she couldn’t come, and she also didn’t regret the decision she had made.
Raising Zhong Jiming was similar to when she had just entered the palace and no one saw her as such. It was only the Concubine Xian who gave her the greatest amount of kindness.
It was one thing for them to be related by blood, and another for them to repay kindness.
“Is Concubine Yun in the palace now?” Zhou Xu suddenly stood up, walked outside and asked.
The palace maid who had been guarding outside the entire time whispered, “Just now, I saw that Concubine Yun had gone back. I never heard of her going to the emperor’s place. I presume she’s indeed in the palace.”
Zhou Xu nodded, she touched her belly, and smiled as she said: “Come, accompany me to see my concubine, and that child.”
Zhou Yu was going to show off. She felt that her current worth could no longer be described in the same breath.
The Zhong Miao Yi still had no children, so the emperor had bestowed a concubine upon her in order to make her happy. Even the empress dowager couldn’t do anything about it.
The child in her now was Su Zeyi’s. When her child was born, who knew how wonderful of a reaction Zhong Miao Yi would give?
When Zhou Xu reached outside Chang Mu Pavilion, he saw Imperial Consort Chen’s courtyard. She stopped and walked over, but was stopped by her aunt who was in charge of guarding.
The fact that Zhou Xu was pregnant was already known throughout the palace, so when her aunt paid her respects to Zhou Xu, she was especially sincere. She was afraid that there was something wrong with her, and that she had offended this Imperial Consort X.
“Is that the Imperial Consort Chen inside?”
Zhou Fu asked, as he looked around, “It hasn’t been released yet?”
Aunt gave an awkward laugh, “Imperial Consort Chen is not as deep as your benefactor, the Emperor is likely to be fond of you and has a prince. I don’t remember the Imperial Consort Chen anymore. ”
It was good that he did not know, the Chen family sent a daughter into the palace, but their career did not progress at all, it was probably the Imperial Consort Chen’s fault for not being able to meet their expectations.
“Where is my concubine?” Zhou Xu asked, his body exuding an expansive sense of superiority.
Aunt pointed in the direction of the Eternal Nightfall Pavilion, “Lady Yunpin is in the other direction.”
Zhou Xu nodded, took one last look at the tightly shut door of the Imperial Consort Chen, then turned and left.
The Zhong Miao Yi was currently carrying Zhong Jiming as she walked under the sunlight. The rose in her courtyard had bloomed, it was clear that it liked bright colors, as it stared at Rose and laughed.
When Zhou Xu entered, she did not make any sound. It was Ah Jiu who saw Zhou Xu first, rang the bell, and then quickly walked forward: “Imperial Consort X is well, why is it that no one reported to you when you suddenly came?”
At this time, the bell had already supported Zhong Miao Yi, who did not know what Zhou Fu was doing here, but it seemed that she did not have any good intentions, so she passed Zhong Jiming over to the bell, preparing to let it carry him back.
Seeing that the Zhong Miao Yi was about to be carried down, Zhou Xu immediately shouted: “Can I see the Empress’s child?”
Zhong Miao Yi was startled for a moment, but she could not find any words to refute, so she only replied: “I’m still young, I’m very afraid of being born.”
Zhou Xu did not mind, she had steeled her heart to watch. Passing through the Ah Jiu, she walked towards the Zhong Miao Yi and immediately saw Zhong Jiming who was looking around with his eyes wide open.
Zhong Jiming was very cute, the soft and soft children made people unable to hate him.
However, Zhou Xu’s eyes were cold. She smiled and touched Zhong Jiming’s face: “So cute. I’m also pregnant now, and I can immediately understand what Lady Yunpin is thinking about this child.”
Zhong Miao Yi did not look at her, and signalled for the bell to ring: “I do not have much thought, my only wish is that we can grow up safely. Elder Sis is like a mother, even though this is the case, in the end, we are still only big sisters, what we can do for him is limited.”
Hearing that, Zhou Xu said faintly: “That’s right, the Lady Yunpin is full of kindness, and will definitely have its own child in the future. At that time, this concubine’s child and the Empress’s child should love and love each other.”
“Not everyone has the luck to have a child.” The children in the palace looked like nobles, but only a few could actually survive.
Zhong Miao Yi didn’t dare guarantee that she would have a child of Su Zeyi’s. Based on the current situation, she wouldn’t want a child to divide her feelings for.
She was the only one Zhong Jiming had. She only wanted to help herself grow up, and that was true.
