After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Shen Yunjin shook her head, bit her lips hard, and leaned against Jinzhi.

Yuzhi, who had just walked in from the door, saw it and hurried over to support Shen Yunjin.

"What's wrong with the master?" Yuzhi and Jinzhi finally helped Shen Yunjin lie down on the bed.

"Yuzhi, you stay with the master. I'll go get Doctor Li."

"Jinzhi, go quietly." Shen Yunjin whispered on the bed.

Now she is lying in bed and seems to be feeling better.

In her previous life, she had experienced many miscarriages, and the feeling just now made her feel uneasy.

Jinzhi nodded and walked out quickly, while Yuzhi took a handkerchief to wipe Shen Yunjin's face.

Doctor Li quickly followed Yuzhi into the yard.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance, he stopped and looked around.

"When were the flowers in this yard changed?" he asked.

"Just a few days ago, didn't all the courtyards have new flowers and plants?" Yuzhi was very surprised why Doctor Li asked this.

Doctor Li frowned and walked into the house.

"Your humble servant greets Concubine Shen. Your Majesty, please put your hand over the handkerchief."

Looking at Doctor Li, who was taking Shen Yunjin's pulse with a serious expression and a frown on his face, Shen Yunjin's heartbeat slowed down for a moment.

"Doctor Li, is there something wrong with the child?" she asked nervously.

"Your Majesty, please relax. I want to ask you, how long have you been having this abdominal pain?"

"Just these two days." Shen Yunjin recalled.

"I was walking around the courtyard today and felt really uncomfortable, so I quickly went to lie down."

Doctor Li withdrew his hand, a little hesitant, not knowing what to say.

"Doctor Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I can handle it."

Shen Yunjin pretended to be calm and said that she had no idea at all, and there was a barely perceptible panic in her voice.

"Pregnant women should not smell the fragrance of the flowers in this yard. If they stay here for a long time, they may suffer a miscarriage at best, or give birth to a deformed baby at worst."

Doctor Li told the truth with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Are you sure?" Shen Yunjin's heart was in turmoil.

You don't need to ask who wrote this.

Doctor Li nodded affirmatively, "The only way to solve it is to remove the flower, or move away from here and come back after the flowering period is over."

"This flower is poisonous and harmful to the human body. I suggest it is best to eradicate it."

"Is my child okay?" Shen Yunjin asked.

"The child is very healthy. Maybe the queen is sensitive to the scent of flowers, so she feels uncomfortable."

Doctor Li gave some more precautions and then left.

Shen Yunjin touched her belly, her face gloomy and uncertain.

Eradicate? Today it is a flower, tomorrow it will be what?

Move away? Since the whole palace is planting it together, then this kind of flower can be seen everywhere not only here but also in the whole palace.

She can't always be passive and let others control her.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is here.

Because Ning Ruyan was punished to be under house arrest, only Shen Yunjin accompanied Xiao Minshen into the palace for the family dinner.

The family banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace. There were special palace supervisors who led the princesses and the ladies in through the Cangzhen Gate and lined them up under the Dan steps outside the Jiaotai Hall.

The Empress led the Imperial Concubine and other imperial concubines to gather in the East and West Warm Pavilions, waiting for the Emperor to return to the palace before starting the celebration.

Dining in the palace follows the strict court etiquette; one is not allowed to talk while eating or sleeping.

The family dinner was also eaten in silence.

Shen Yunjin had no expectations for the cold dishes and cold meals in the palace.

She was a concubine of the Prince of Qi, and she sat at the back of the bunch of princesses and concubines. Even the Sixth Prince's concubine sat closer to her.

She didn't know whether the palace supervisor had arranged it this way on purpose or it was an oversight.

She would rather stay at the back so that she could secretly observe everyone present.

The emperor had seven sons and five daughters, which is considered a relatively high survival rate.

Crown Prince Xiao Minxuan and Princess Anyang were both born to the Queen.

The prince has been married for five years. The princess has only one son and one daughter, but she has a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters.

Princess Anyang had high standards and had never married. As she was the emperor's first daughter, the emperor spoiled her.

The second prince, Xiao Minchen, was the son of Concubine Hua. He married the daughter of the Shangshu family and had two sons and two daughters.

The Second Prince and the Crown Prince did not get along, which caused their princesses to look at each other with disgust.

For example, at a banquet, the Second Prince’s wife would never even look at the dishes that the Crown Princess liked to eat.

The third prince and the second princess are both Shufei's children.

The third prince's wife was from a cabinet scholar's family and had one son and two daughters.

The second princess married the top scholar of previous years, and judging from her figure, she must be pregnant for several months.

The fourth prince is the child of Concubine Yi.

His princess consort was the second daughter of the minister's family. The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince were good friends. Shen Yunjin saw the Fourth Prince's consort and the Crown Princess drinking together.

The Sixth Prince and the Third Princess are both Concubine De's children.

The Sixth Prince’s wife is the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister and has a daughter.

The third princess was 28 years old, and it was heard that Concubine De had already chosen a good husband.

The fourth princess is the child of Wang Zhaoyi, and the fifth princess is the child of Li Zhaoyuan. Both children are the same age.

Just when Shen Yunjin was hoping for the banquet to end countless times, the emperor and the empress finally got up and left.

The people at the top level had left, and the rest of the people stood up.

Concubine Hua glanced resentfully in the direction the emperor left.

Today is the 30th, and according to custom the emperor is to stay overnight in Kunning Palace.

This is the benefit of the queen, and others can only envy her.

Another person who is as resentful as Concubine Hua is Concubine Ning.

She had been in the palace for three years, and it took her a year to go from being unfavored at first to being the most favored later.

However, no matter how hard the emperor worked, she just couldn't get pregnant.

Even someone as unpopular as Lee So-won gave birth to a daughter.

She couldn't understand why she was the one who got the worst of it.

Later, she found out that the tonic pills she had been taking contained safflower.

Because she consumed it for too long, she lost the chance to become a mother.

As for that tonic pill, it was a small bottle given to her by the Queen Mother when she first received the emperor's favor.

She found it good after taking it, so she asked someone to make it for her and has been taking it ever since.

The Queen Mother cleared herself of all responsibility for this matter.

I suffered losses in this palace and I can only blame myself for being too naive and trusting people too much.

When Concubine Ning was feeling filled with hatred, someone next to her touched her.

"Who has no eyes?" Concubine Ning slapped him with her backhand.

It just so happens that she needs a vent right now.

"I apologize to Her Majesty." Shen Yunjin ignored the pain in her knees and immediately knelt down to admit her mistake.

She was walking just fine, but for some reason, she suddenly tripped over something.

Her body was unsteady, so she leaned to the side, and unexpectedly bumped into Concubine Ning who was in a trance beside her.

Seeing the slap coming from Concubine Ning, he had no choice but to kneel down in order to avoid it in public.

Ning Guiren's slap missed and she became furious, and was about to slap Shen Yunjin again.

She just raised her hand and said, "Oh, Lady Ning has such a bad temper. She's the concubine of the King of Qi, and you dare to hit her?"

A group of people came over, and the one who spoke was Princess Anyang, who was leading the group.

Concubine Ning had no choice but to withdraw her hand angrily and glared at Shen Yunjin.

"I thought it was some blind maidservant, and didn't see it was Concubine Shen. Concubine Shen should also learn the rules. How can she not even walk properly?"

"It is my fault. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."

"Concubine Shen is really sharp-tongued. If I insist on doing that today, I will be considered petty, right?"

Concubine Ning lifted Shen Yunjin's chin with her index finger, forcing her to look at her.
