Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 87: Ups and downs
In fact, the reward was given, and the emperor had given Shen Zhiyao a lot of rewards. But when this matter was mentioned, Concubine Zhao felt extremely wronged and humiliated.
Concubine Zhao once asked the emperor indirectly for this Go set for the eldest prince, saying that she wanted to use it to help the eldest prince learn Go.
Bo Muxi was obviously reluctant to give it to him, so he said, "The eldest prince is only three years old now. I have kept it in mind. When he can play two games with me, it will not be too late to give it to him."
Concubine Zhao was so excited by this sentence that she wanted to find a teacher to teach the eldest prince immediately. Therefore, she was obsessed with this precious set of Go.
"Hmph...Jin Wanyi...sooner or later I will make you fall flat on your face!"
Concubine Zhao was so angry that she slammed the table, and the tea on the table splashed everywhere.
Today was an eventful day. First, Shen Zhiyao received an extra valuable reward, which made everyone angry. But then, they received even more unexpected news.
While Zhao Cairen was strolling in the Imperial Garden, she suddenly fainted.
The palace maid hurriedly called the imperial physician for a consultation, and he actually found out that she was pregnant.
She hasn't hung up a name tag recently. I guess it was probably the last time she hung it up during my sleep with him, which has been almost three months.
When Concubine Zhao heard the news, her jaw dropped to the ground in shock!
"She is actually pregnant?" Concubine Zhao couldn't believe it and couldn't help but ask Dai Tao again.
"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty. I've already reported it to the Emperor and the Empress. How can it be false?" Dai Tao said.
"What a lucky guy!" Concubine Zhao said hatefully.
Although they are from the same family and on the same side, Concubine Zhao still can't bear to see others getting pregnant.
But she also knew that the Queen Mother must absolutely protect Zhao Jingzi's child and could not touch it.
Because I can't move, I feel even more angry!
When the palace maid reported to the emperor, he was drinking tea and discussing matters with the empress in Fengyi Palace.
"Oh? Got it?" Bo Muxi, as the person involved, was also deeply surprised.
"Your Majesty and Empress, the imperial physician said that Concubine Zhao is nearly three months pregnant and the fetus is currently stable." The palace maid bowed.
"Lin'en, pass on my order and order someone to buy some new supplies for Ningshuangxuan. Tell the kitchen and the imperial medical department to serve well." Bo Muxi said.
Bo Muxi looked at the queen with complicated eyes, the meaning of which was unclear.
"Your Majesty, this child... I must do my best to keep him. After all... there are few offspring in the palace. If this were to be told to others, it would be considered as a breach of moral integrity by the Empress..." The Queen said softly with a humble look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: My queen is so virtuous!
The Queen was indeed clever, she was actually telling the Emperor in disguise that he should give face to Queen Dowager Zhao, but she also cleverly used the excuse of "the Empress's misconduct" to clear Queen Dowager Zhao.
"I listen to the Queen, but Concubine Zhao has behaved immorally and she should reflect on herself. I have just demoted her position, so I will not promote her this time..." Bo Muxi said coldly.
In theory, concubines below the ninth level would be given a promotion when they became pregnant as a sign of the emperor's favor.
If you are not promoted even when you are pregnant, even the servants serving in the palace will look down on you, which is not conducive to your pregnancy.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I will follow your orders." The Queen said in a gentle voice.
Qingyuexuan is not far from Cuiweixuan. At this moment, Shen Zhiyao has just arrived at Qingyuexuan.
"Sister Lu, the emperor rewarded me with some nice eyebrow pencils today. I specially gave some to you. Please don't despise them." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.
Concubine Lu understood Shen Zhiyao's personality. Of course, she didn't think that she was deliberately making up a story about her, so she happily accepted it.
Shen Zhiyao was saddened by what happened to Concubine Lu. Now, it seemed that she had been forgotten by the emperor.
Shen Zhiyao was in favor, and Bo Muxi would always give her some precious items as a reward. Shen Zhiyao would always think of giving one to Concubine Lu.
"Sister Shen, you have also heard about Concubine Zhao's affairs, right? It's really dramatic." Concubine Lu shook her head and smiled, but she seemed particularly calm, without any jealousy in her eyes.
Shen Zhiyao admired this about her very much. She would not be jealous of others having something just because she had lost it.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either!" Shen Zhiyao said speechlessly.
"Although Concubine Zhao has not been in the palace for long, her status has changed so quickly, rising and falling, it's quite comical. This time she is being favored again because of her son, which can be regarded as the most interesting thing in the palace!" Concubine Lu teased.
"That depends on whether her 'master' can allow her to give birth to the baby safely. It's hard to say about these plastic sisters..." Shen Zhiyao shook her head, hinting at something.
Bo Muxi's attitude is also quite intriguing. If she is not promoted during her pregnancy, then will the child be given to other concubines to raise after it is born?
The Zhaoguo Palace system stipulated that only concubines ranked above the ninth concubine could raise their own children.
Otherwise, they would either be given to a qualified concubine for adoption or be taken to the Yangqin Palace to be raised by a special person.
"Now it seems that this palace has experienced many ups and downs. Nothing will change until the last step!" Concubine Lu sighed.
"Sister Lu is right. However, this matter has nothing to do with us. For little concubines like us, it is better to worry less. Safety and happiness are the most important things!" Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.
Afterwards, Shen Zhiyao returned the book she had borrowed from Qingyuexuan two days ago to Concubine Lu, and couldn't help but borrow a few other books.
There were countless good books in Lady Lu's bookcase, so she stopped being polite and just treated this place as her own study.
It was a rare opportunity for Concubine Lu to meet good book friends in the harem, so she was very happy.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Shen Zhiyao stood up, said goodbye, and went to Fengyi Palace.
"Master, it might not be a good idea for us to go to Fengyi Palace like this." Qiuyue asked worriedly as she walked on the road.
"I asked for leave this morning and didn't go to pay my respects to the emperor. I also received such a precious reward from the emperor. If I didn't go to Fengyi Palace today, something bad would have happened. What's there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is that I'll be rejected!" Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.
"Master is really thoughtful!" Qiuyue smiled.
When Shijin reported that Shen Zhiyao came to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects, the Queen was concentrating on copying the "Chronicle of Zhao State". After hearing the report, her eyebrows could not help but curved.
"Your Majesty, do you want to see her?" Shijin actually didn't want to let Shen Zhiyao in, but seeing the Queen's expression, he still asked unwillingly.
"Please pass it in. The emperor actually gave her that chessboard as a reward. I am very curious about it."
The queen paused for a moment, dipped the brush in some ink, and began to copy without distraction.
Shi Jin had no choice but to order someone to bring Shen Zhiyao into the study.
After a while, Shijin, who was standing outside the door, saw Shen Zhiyao coming behind the palace maid. Only then did Shijin notice that Jin Wanyi seemed to have grown up completely and was even more beautiful than before.
Shijin stepped forward to greet everyone, then told someone to lead Qiuyue to the side hall, and only took Shen Zhiyao with him, and went into the study alone.
Before leaving, Qiuyue looked at Shen Zhiyao worriedly several times. Only after receiving Shen Zhiyao's comforting look did she leave reluctantly.
Shijin saw this and thought: This maid beside her may be a little silly, but she is very loyal.
"Your servant pays her respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!" Shen Zhiyao paid her respects as she entered.
"No need to be polite, Jin Wanyi. I remember that you just asked for leave this morning. Now you come to Fengyi Palace again. Is there something going on?"
The Queen glanced at Shen Zhiyao calmly without stopping writing, but her tone seemed to contain a hint of reproach...
