The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Although Nanxiang seemed to be eating spicy food, she actually didn't touch much of the food on the table.

She also privately asked Kikuhei to prepare some extra food for her.

However, Nanxiang's move made many people in the harem have many thoughts.

Nan Xiang certainly knew that there must be other traitors in her Mochizuki Residence, but she could not do anything and could only deal with them secretly.

Especially one or two of the palace maids were too obvious. They were very attentive to the personal maids like Kikupei who had more contact with Nanxiang.

Of course, these people just wanted to find out some information and did not do anything excessive.

Nanxiang also told Kikuhei and Caiyun to give them some information appropriately, whether it was true or false.

As for whether the masters behind them believe it or not, it’s up to them.

……

Jingren Palace.

Caizhi came to Queen Chen with a smile, squatted down and said, "Your Majesty! There is news from Youlan in Wangyueju."

"Is it the one you arranged to stay in Wangyueju?" Chen's eyes moved when she heard this, and she immediately put down the almond date cake in her hand.

"Yes!"

"Tell me! What news did she bring?"

Chen asked softly, fiddling with the Five Phoenixes and Rising Sun Cassia Pearl hairpin next to her hair.

"Youlan said that the girl from Wangyueju likes to eat spicy food recently. She especially likes it. It seems to be some reaction caused by pregnancy." Caizhi said softly with a slight smile on her lips.

"Oh? Is that so?"

There was a flash of surprise between Chen's eyebrows, the smile on her lips grew, and there was an uncontrollable smile in the corners of her eyes.

"That's right. Ju Ping from Wangyueju complains every day. The chili peppers have made her eyes red and swollen. She looks so pitiful."

"After all, Concubine Shu is not destined to be a prince! In the end, she is still a princess!"

"Don't laugh at her. Although she is red and swollen from the chili pepper, she must have received a lot of praise as the personal maid of Concubine Shu. Don't do anything against the rules." Chen then warned worriedly.

"I know. I only obey you. Whatever you say, I will do."

"You have done a great job in delivering the message this time. I can discuss with the emperor another day and let you leave the palace as soon as possible."

Chen then threw a sweet bomb to Caizhi, making Caizhi smile and look extremely happy.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your gift! I am grateful forever." Caizhi cried with joy.

She had been waiting for the day to leave the palace for a long time.

The palace maids who entered the palace with her had all left when their term expired, but she stayed for a few more years because she worked for the queen.

She had no complaints in the first two years, but since she heard that her father had been seriously ill for many days, what he wanted most before he died was for her to marry into a good family.

"Okay! You have worked for me for many years. I have neglected you over the years." Chen said, with an expression of emotion on her face.

Caizhi was the one who had followed her the longest, starting from when she was in the palace.

However, there is a time limit for palace maids. When they reach a certain age, they will leave the palace according to palace rules.

This was a gift from the late emperor to the palace maids who had been diligent in the harem for many years, and it was also to demonstrate the emperor's great grace.

She kept Caizhi for so many years simply because she didn't want to be without a close friend by her side. There were a few of them in the past few years, but they also left the palace and got married.

Only Caizhi was the most kind to her and was willing to stay for a few more years until she gave birth to a prince.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

Luqi also came to the inner hall with lotus steps.

At this time, Concubine Huang was reading on the couch. When she saw Luqi coming in unruly, she immediately scolded her, "Didn't I tell you not to come in and disturb me unless it's something important?"

His tone was not polite at all and his brows were furrowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! There is news from Wangyueju."

Upon hearing this, Luqi looked a little frightened and spoke in a low voice.

"Go ahead!" Concubine Huang put down the book in her hand and looked up at Luqi who was squatting on the ground.

"Recently, Concubine Shu likes to eat spicy food. She has a hard time swallowing other foods."

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Concubine Huang lost some interest and withdrew her gaze, without feeling any surprise.

She thought something had happened to Song Nanxiang, or she had done something that violated some palace rules.

I didn't expect it to be such nonsense.

"Empress! The Empress in Chengqian Palace also loved spicy food when she was pregnant. There may be some connection between the two." Luqi said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Huang finally understood what Luqi wanted to express, that Song Nanxiang was giving birth to a daughter.

As the saying goes, sour boys and spicy girls.

"I thought Song Nanxiang had some abilities. But in the end, she still works for the princess." Concubine Xian sneered contemptuously.

I couldn't help but hesitate about taking the risk to deal with Song Nanxiang.

After all, if the baby in Song Nanxiang's belly was a daughter, it would be dispensable to her.

In this harem, the one who can truly inherit the throne is the prince, not the princess.

"Yes, Madam! Concubine Shu's fate is really unfortunate. She has been working so hard for so long just for the princess."

"Okay. Do you want to be punished for talking about other concubines in front of me?" Huang said in a cold tone.

"I know my mistake!"

……

Listen to Xuetang.

Lily heard from the palace maids outside that Concubine Shu has been fond of eating spicy food recently and has been eating it with every meal.

After hearing this, she couldn't help but smile, and hurried to her master to report the news.

"My lady! I heard from outside that the person from Wangyueju likes to eat spicy food recently."

"What's this saying?" Su looked puzzled.

"It is said that sour boys and spicy girls are the most popular. The previous imperial concubine often ate spicy food when she was pregnant. The concubine must be carrying a princess in her belly." Lily said with a smile on her face.

"How can you take seriously something you heard from others?" Su's face suddenly became unhappy after hearing this.

Now the last thing she wanted to hear from others was anything about the child.

Even being a princess can bring some security to herself, at least the emperor can come over from time to time.

But now she doesn't even have a princess.

……

Wangyueju.

Kikuhira came to the inner hall with a smile on his face.

Looking at Nan Xiang who was painting at the desk, he immediately squatted down and said, "Your Majesty! I have already spread the news you asked me to spread. I have complained to all the palace maids in Wangyue Residence and the palace maids and eunuchs I know outside. Now I am afraid that the whole harem knows that your Majesty likes spicy food."

Nan Xiang was calmly working on the painting in front of her.

She was confident in Kikuhei's ability to do things and was not surprised at all.

After finishing the last stroke on the rice paper, Nanxiang raised the corners of her mouth and said softly, "Well done!"

Nan Xiang's move was simply to make the concubines in the harem think that the baby in her belly was a princess. This would save her a lot of trouble in the future. When her child was born, it would be the time for her to stabilize her position in the harem.

It would be unacceptable not to have the title of imperial concubine by then.

Sour boys, spicy girls, this is a very feudal idea that has been popular in ancient times and has no scientific basis. But now it has become a means for her to protect her children.
