The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

On the second day, Lin Qianqian saw Concubine Xian again and discovered that she had already been serving the Empress Dowager in Shou'an Palace.

Concubine Xian carefully took the mixed rice porridge that she had cooked herself from the food box and gave it to the Empress Dowager.

Nanny Gui beside the Queen Mother quickly reached out to take it. Concubine Xian smiled and pinched her earlobes and said, "Queen Mother, you like the mixed rice porridge I cook the most. I cooked a bowl for you today."

"Okay, okay, put it down. Don't do anything rash. Now that you are in your advanced stage of pregnancy, you must be more careful. Leave these things to the servants."

Empress Xian said, "I came here today because I wanted to see you, the Queen Mother, before I could walk again, and to be filial to you to the best of my ability. If I have to give birth and stay in confinement after childbirth, I won't be able to serve you for a long time. Secondly, I have nothing to do. I wanted to borrow your help and listen to Lin's talk about Dream of the Red Chamber to kill time."

The Queen Mother laughed and teased her, "So you were thinking about this, I was wondering why you came here today."

Then, the Queen Mother said in a serious tone, "That's right. The Emperor has been visiting other concubines recently, and you are not favored, so he naturally neglects you. I'm afraid you must be a little lonely and bored by yourself."

"It's just right, come to my place and keep me company, an old lady like me."

"It's just that your health is getting worse and worse. How can you move around so frequently?"

Concubine Xian held the Queen Mother's shoulders and said, "The imperial physician said that you can't lie down all the time. Walking moderately will help with a normal birth. I will also pay more attention to it myself."

The Queen Mother suddenly said, "Why don't you live in Shou'an Palace? It happens that Lin is here, so you won't be bored before giving birth. She can not only perform operas and sing, but also tell stories and chat with us."

Concubine Xian was overjoyed, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Empress Xian touched her belly with joy.

Since she became pregnant, she had been neglected by the emperor for half a year. She originally wanted to come to the empress dowager to listen to stories to relieve her boredom, and to show her filial piety, so that the empress dowager would feel pity for her and persuade the emperor to visit her more often. Unexpectedly, she was directly taken into the protection of the empress dowager.

This time her pregnancy should be safe.

Seeing how much the Queen Mother loved Concubine Xian, Lin Qianqian suddenly felt a little envious.

The empress dowager was very kind to the emperor's concubines and treated them all as her own daughters-in-law.

In the Marquis's Mansion, the heroine is the only daughter-in-law of the Yu family. The other concubines are just tools for giving birth to children, and the Yu family only stands on the side of the heroine.

Lin Qianqian found that after she finished telling a story, Concubine Xian would discuss the plot with the Empress Dowager, just like sisters who watched TV series together while eating melon seeds.

Sometimes, it is really boring to watch TV series alone. But when you meet like-minded people and complain about it together, it suddenly becomes very interesting.

The relationship between Empress Xian and the Empress Dowager became increasingly harmonious. Originally, the two of them simply exchanged greetings with each other on a daily basis, but now that they had an additional common topic, they got to know each other better.

On this day, the emperor came to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

After greeting, he turned around and was a little surprised to see Empress Xian next to him.

He was surprised that Concubine Xian's belly had become so big, like a big pot on top of it, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Xian used the same rhetoric as before and told the emperor the same story.

"Your belly is so big, but you still want to be filial to your mother. This kind of filial piety is rare."

The emperor looked at Lin Qianqian and said, "Yes, with you accompanying the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian, they won't be lonely anymore."

The Queen Mother said, "Empress Xian is about to give birth. You should come to see her more often. It's just right that she lives with me, so you don't have to go there as often."

The emperor nodded, "I understand, mother."

"What story did you hear? Tell me about it."

The Queen Mother joyfully grasped the Emperor's arm and said, "This story is truly interesting. I'll tell you..."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian sat on the left and right of the emperor and told stories. The emperor actually listened attentively and sat there for half an hour.

Empress Xian smiled and said, "We have already heard the fortieth chapter. If I were to tell the story to Your Majesty, I would definitely not be able to catch up with our progress."

The emperor suddenly reached out and patted Concubine Xian's leg. "I also found this story interesting. Let's stop here today. I have to go review the memorials."

"I'll come back to see you and mother tomorrow, and you can tell me more tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Farewell!"

Concubine Xian watched the emperor leave the hall with her own eyes. Her eyes gradually became moist and she felt indescribably moved. He said he would come to see her again tomorrow.

The emperor really came on the second day, and on the third and fourth days.

On the fifth day, he stayed with her overnight.

Although they simply slept together in the quilt at night, kissing and hugging at most, Concubine Xian was very satisfied and was so moved that she secretly shed tears in the middle of the night.

In this harem, she was not as pretty as Yue Guiren, not as talented as De Fei, and not as family background as Huipin. Her personality was even more sullen. If the emperor didn't speak, she wouldn't speak. She really didn't know what to say.

She thought that she had been alone for too long and became less and less talkative. Now, after staying with the Queen Mother for only a few days, her temperament became lively again, and the Emperor liked her to talk more.

It was Lin Qianqian's storytelling and singing that enriched her feelings and stimulated her desire to express herself.

Because of these, she and the emperor had new topics to talk about and their relationship gradually warmed up.

Concubine Xian rewarded Lin Qianqian with a precious hairpin and two gold bars. "These days, I have figured it out. Why did the emperor go to another courtyard and come back after I became pregnant? He obviously ignored me for such a long time before."

"There's nothing about me that attracts him."

"I used to think that my body became deformed and my face became ugly after I got pregnant, and I had many spots. Now I realize that a topic or a story can also attract the emperor. It is not just being good at singing and dancing, or being young and beautiful that can attract the emperor. Now that I think about it, the emperor would probably get tired of watching those people dancing and singing too much."

"Thank you for making me understand this."

Lin Qianqian said, "Your Majesty is already blessed with beauty. If you add your attractive inner self, you will definitely be unique in the emperor's heart."

"Your Highness is smart and has realized this. People will age sooner or later. It is really difficult to maintain a good figure after having children and growing older. However, if one has poetry and books in his heart, time will never defeat beauty."

Empress Xian smiled and said, "I'm suddenly not anxious anymore."

"Do you know how anxious I was about my appearance and body shape? I was really afraid that the emperor would dislike me. My hair was falling out in clumps, I couldn't eat, and I couldn't sleep well. The emperor would dislike me for being ugly when he saw me bald. My first child was miscarried quietly because I was depressed."

Lin Qianqian frowned slightly when she heard this, "My queen, no matter what, you must take care of yourself. Abortion is very harmful to the body."

"The body is the capital."

Empress Xian nodded, "You are absolutely right. I also know this truth after experiencing it."

"It took a long time to recover after the miscarriage before my body returned to normal."

……

"You must consummate your marriage with Huai'er."

Yu made a serious request to Cheng Jiayao.

"After he recovers."

"But... he likes Aunt Lin," Cheng Jiayao frowned, the lower half of her calm face hidden in the shadows, her entire expression could not be seen.

"It has nothing to do with who he likes. What I want is a grandson. I want a dear grandson born from your belly, even if it's just one."

"He is just a seed for bearing children. What I want is the child of you and my only son. A vixen like Lin has harmed Huai'er to this extent. She is not worthy of bearing the seed of our mansion. I just want you to give birth to our mansion's child. I like you as my daughter-in-law and only want to raise the child you give birth to."

"Why should that vixen like her give birth to the prince's child? Should we waste our efforts to raise the bastard born from her belly while she becomes a noble mother? If she gives birth to a child, she will really get rid of her status as a lowly prostitute and become the prince's concubine. For the sake of the child, I have to accept her."

Cheng Jiayao narrowed her eyes slightly, "Maybe she is already pregnant now."

"Yes?"

"For a person like this, you can keep the child but not the person. She is only causing trouble for you in the Marquis' Mansion. She is monopolizing Huai'er's favor, so you can never consummate your marriage with Huai'er. What will you do if Huai'er insists on being her co-wife and demands the management rights of the Marquis' Mansion in the future? How can she be equal to you?"

Cheng Jiayao thought to herself that Yu thought exactly as she did. The child could be kept, but the adults absolutely could not.

First, she fought for the position of co-wife, and then the power had to be handed over. There was no room for two tigers in one mountain, and she was afraid that he would really be on equal footing with her. And the prince doted on her so much, even if she was right, she would definitely be bullied by Lin Qianqian everywhere.

After this, there was gradually no place for her in the Marquis' Mansion.

It was a pity that her parents had raised her for so many years, but when she first entered the family, she was not only treated coldly by her husband, but also suppressed by a concubine brought back from a brothel. Her parents lost face from then on, and because of her incompetence, people would talk about this matter everywhere, laugh at her and despise her, saying that her parents did not know how to educate their daughter and had no ability to manage the family.

Lin Qianqian, I don’t want to deal with you, but your existence will really make me lose power, and will also bring shame to my family because of you.
