The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

After returning to Jinghua Tower, Xie Yuzhen undid her hair and planned not to go out that afternoon.

Chunfen stepped forward to report that Lady Zhang came with Xu Ronghua today. Xie Yuzhen, who was inserting his five fingers into his hair and gently combing it, raised his eyebrows: "Lady Zhang is quite lively."

"I asked Xiaoxi to inquire about it. She said that Lady Zhang also wanted to pay a visit to Concubine Shu before, but Concubine Shu did not see her." Chunfen took the jewelry handed to her by Xiazhi and put it away carefully. "This time she came with Lady Ronghua. She also met Shen Xiaoyi on the way and had a conflict in their words."

"This guy has suffered so much, how come he still has the leisure to wander around?" said Shen Xiaoyi.

After Xie Yuzhen laughed at her, he felt a little hungry, so he took a silk ribbon and tied his long hair loosely: "Forget it, they can do whatever they want, as long as they don't be blind and use their tricks on me, I'll let them do whatever they want."

She now has more important things to plan. All the jealousies in the harem can be left to Xu Ronghua. Isn't it for this that he spent so much effort to win her loyalty?

Xie Yuzhen yawned lazily and said, "Bring Tan Nu here and serve the meal."

Although no official decree had been issued yet, Xie Yi's title of Marquis of Yongjia was already set in stone. It was not appropriate to hold a large banquet at the moment, so Xie Yuzhen spent some extra money and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes with great care.

Xie Yi's taste is like his mother's. He prefers salty and savory food, and he especially likes fried meat. However, most children are unstable. Recently, he has taken a liking to a soft and sticky cake made of glutinous rice wrapped in red bean paste. Xie Wei is really afraid that he will get his teeth damaged if he eats too much, so he only allows him to eat a small piece a day.

Today, the mother and daughter had a happy event, so Xie Yuzhen allowed him to eat one more piece. Xie Yi was very happy: "It seems that this marquis can really make people happy."

Xie Yuzhen couldn't help but pinch the kid's face: "You'll understand when you grow up. Eat it quickly. This thing will become hard when it gets cold and it's hard to digest."

Xie Yi nodded: "Actually, I don't particularly like it. I'll get sick of it if I eat too much sweet food."

The mother and son were talking while eating.

Halfway through the meal, Xiaoxi came in in a panic: "Madam, there's trouble outside again!"

Xie Yuzhen put down his chopsticks: "What happened?"

"My lady, Shen Xiaoyi offended Lady Zhang by the Taiye Lake. Lady Zhang wanted to punish her by kneeling, but she refused and even tried to tear Lady Zhang apart." Xiaoxi spoke a long string of words. She took a breath and continued, "The two ladies started fighting, but someone knocked Lady Liu, who was also present, into the Taiye Lake. She was fine, but she seemed to have seen blood. Lady Shu's carriage happened to pass by and had already taken Lady Liu to Kunning Palace."

Xie Yuzhen was silent.

How come this harem is still so exciting without someone like me who likes to stir up trouble out of nothing?

Xie Yuzhen instantly discarded the original idea of ​​not going out today. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, asked Xia Zhi to take care of the confused child, quickly changed her clothes and combed her hair, and did not forget to put on the plum blossom hairpin newly given by the emperor. After getting ready, she was ready to go out to join in the fun.

"Madam, do you want to take the sedan chair?" Chunfen was also busy with her.

Xie Yuzhen waved his hand: "They are not as fast as me walking over there."

She was tall and had long legs. She took a big step and had to jog twice to catch up with her: "Watch your step, lady!"

Like a gust of wind, Xie Yuzhen rushed to Kunning Palace.

At a glance, she saw Shen Xiaoyi kneeling on the ground again, but this time the one next to her was Lady Zhang instead of Wen Baolin. Lady Zhang would not tolerate the nervous Shen Xiaoyi as Wen Baolin did. At this moment, she was complaining loudly: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!

"I just heard that the scenery of Taiye Lake is beautiful, so I went there for a walk. I didn't expect to run into Shen Xiaoyi. She walked towards me face to face, as if she didn't see a living person like me, and bumped into me!"

Lady Zhang sobbed twice and continued to accuse: "I thought she had something urgent to do, so I wanted her to apologize and that would be it, but she...she started to call me a vixen and tried to snatch the bracelet that Your Majesty gave me. I was unwilling to give it to her and wanted to hide from her, but she insisted on pulling me away. Later, I didn't know how, but I heard someone fall into the water..."

Her hair and clothes were a little messy, and there were scratches from nails on her neck and wrists. She looked very pitiful and aggrieved. On the other hand, Shen Xiaoyi next to her did not look as embarrassed as Lady Zhang. Her eyes were still wandering, and she did not show any fear or uneasiness. She looked so distracted that people felt that she was very abnormal.

"Shen Xiaoyi, do you have anything to say?" The queen had a headache and couldn't help comparing Shen Xiaoyi and Xie Yuzhen. She immediately felt that Xie Yuzhen, who understood expressions and could speak, and whose words were at most a little unpleasant, was simply pure and likable.

There are three pregnant women in the palace.

Xie Yuzhen was pregnant peacefully, but Wang Xuanshi concealed the fact and caused her to have a miscarriage. It was only after Wang Xuanshi's miscarriage that Liu Yunv realized she was pregnant too. Just as she was about to report it, she met with a sudden disaster.

I don’t know if this pregnancy can be saved.

The queen thought a little disappointedly, and when she looked up, she saw Xie Yuzhen appear at the door of the hall with a bright smile. The eunuch who was in charge of the message had just walked to the middle of the hall, but she couldn't wait to look inside.

Suddenly, the queen felt amused. She waved her hand at the palace servant who passed the message and called Xie Yuzhen in unhappily, "What are you going to do now?"

Xie Yuzhen smiled friendly and walked into the hall with reserved steps: "I think the sweet snack served by the imperial kitchen today tastes very good, and I miss you, so I am here to bring you some snacks."

Although they both knew the truth, no one would say out loud that Xie Yu was really just rushing over to watch the fun.

Xie Yuzhen motioned Chunfen to hand the food box to Yunrong, and then asked the queen, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Concubine Shu was also here, why is she not here?"

The queen couldn't help but glared at the woman when she heard this: "She is looking after Lady Liu in the back. If she hadn't come here to discuss matters with me today and happened to pass by, I'm afraid... Alas!"

"Don't be sad, your majesty. Miss Liu Yu is a lucky person and will be fine." Xie Yuzhen said these polite words and found a good place to sit down to watch the show.

Shen Xiaoyi, who had been silent the whole time, seemed to be triggered by some unknown word. She laughed foolishly: "It's useless...it can't be saved...haha...hehe..."

She raised her head suddenly and stared at Xie Yuzhen's belly: "You are just concubines that His Majesty had to take in to pretend to favor in order to balance the court. What qualifications do you have to bear children for him!"

Chunfen immediately stepped forward to protect Xie Yuzhen.

In the surprised eyes of the crowd, Shen Xiaoyi's eyes were bloodshot and her expression was crazy. She laughed foolishly and asked, "Xie Cairen, aren't you afraid that the chair is broken and the dragon fetus will fall if you sit on it?"
