I just want to rob you of your luck
Chapter 240: Plundering the Concubine's Luck 08
Lin Jiuer had heard that the Queen Mother went to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha and rarely returned to the palace.
But she is just a small noblewoman, so naturally she doesn't need to worry about anything and can just follow the crowd.
During this period, Concubine Zhao was under house arrest and did not cause any trouble.
Zhu Heng never went to see her again and stayed at Lin Jiuer's place most of the time.
Lin Jiuer only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and did not want to give birth to a child for the emperor who had countless beauties in the harem, so she used 500 points to exchange for a bottle of contraceptive pills from the system mall early on.
After all, her foundation in the palace was too shallow, and if she secretly took the contraceptive pills, she would be hard to avoid being discovered.
Moreover, she felt that the contraceptive pills here had too many side effects and were not as safe and reliable as the ones in the system.
You only need to take one pill in advance each time. It is safe and has no side effects and can last for three days.
On the day the Queen Mother returned to the palace, a welcoming banquet was held in the palace.
This welcoming banquet is equivalent to a royal family banquet.
Not only were all the royal relatives invited, but all the concubines above the rank of noble ladies in the harem were also invited to attend.
Including several of Zhu Heng's children.
Zhu Heng now has only two sons and two daughters, and his children were all born to the old men who entered the mansion during the Prince's Mansion period. This has always been a strange thing for Lin Jiuer.
The eldest princess and Princess An were born to the late queen. It is said that after the late queen passed away, she was brought up by the queen mother.
The second princess, Princess Rong'an, was born to Concubine De, who was also one of the concubines during the reign of Crown Prince Zhu Heng.
The eldest prince was born to Concubine Rong, who was previously a concubine in the Prince's Mansion. The second prince was born to Concubine Zhao.
Originally, the late queen was pregnant with the third prince, a legitimate son. Unfortunately, the queen had a difficult labor and died at the birth of the third prince.
At the welcoming banquet, men and women sat separately, and Lin Jiuer sat at the back among the palace concubines.
She didn't talk much to anyone. She just wanted to have a low-key meal and didn't want to attract attention.
But some people don't want her to keep a low profile.
Halfway through the banquet, a little girl suddenly ran up to Lin Jiuer and looked at her curiously.
"Are you the Concubine Wan that the Emperor has been favoring recently?"
Lin Jiuer frowned slightly. From what she said, this should be Zhu Heng's daughter. She looked to be about seven or eight years old, and she had never seen her before.
It should be the daughter of the late queen and Princess An who has always followed the empress dowager.
The little girl spoke with an innocent look, as if she was just asking out of curiosity.
Lin Jiuer smiled faintly: "I am Concubine Wan."
Then he turned on the mind-reading spell on her, but she didn't bother to guess what the little girl was thinking.
Then she heard the girl's voice in her mind: "Mother Zhao said that because of this woman, Father no longer misses Mother. This woman must not be a good person."
Lin Jiuer sneered in her heart, it turned out that it was Concubine Zhao who instigated it again.
She said she had never seen Princess He'an, and why did she suddenly come to cause trouble.
The children who grew up in this palace are really thoughtful.
"How can you use my mother's name as a title? It's totally disrespectful!"
Lin Jiuer really didn't know what the late queen's name was.
She suddenly realized that Zhu Heng wouldn't have created some kind of literary substitute for her, one that looked just like you, right?
Please don't be too melodramatic, okay?
Princess He An is pretty and cute, and you can tell that she has inherited the best features from her parents.
But the words he said were so aggressive that it was hard for people to like him.
She stood beside Lin Jiuer and instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding concubines and female relatives.
Lin Jiuer said helplessly: "You are Princess He'an, right? I remember that your majesty's eldest princess is already eight years old, and she should have started to learn a lot.
How come you don't know that the titles of the concubines are determined by your father? If you are not satisfied, you can go and ask your father. "
He An's face changed. Although she was the most favored by her father, she dared not question her father casually.
Lin Jiuer suddenly remembered He An's voice in her mind: "This woman is so annoying. Just as Concubine Zhao said, she is a vixen who seduces my father.
Since I can't convince her, I will cry in front of her. Then others will think she is bullying me, and my father will not help her!"
When Lin Jiuer heard this, she took the initiative and burst into tears in three seconds. Then she stood up and walked to the Queen Mother and knelt down.
The Queen Mother was chatting with several old concubines accompanied by Concubine Zhao, when she suddenly saw a young concubine walk up to her, kneel down and cry.
She asked curiously, "Who is that person? Why are you crying in front of me?"
Concubine Zhao's beautiful eyes twinkled, and she smiled and said to the Queen Mother, "This is the new Concubine Wan whom Your Majesty took in when Your Majesty went to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha. Your Majesty treats her like the apple of his eye. The Queen Mother's return is a happy occasion. I wonder why she is crying here?"
The Queen Mother's expression turned a little colder after hearing this: "What's the matter with you?"
Lin Jiuer thought that Concubine Zhao really only remembered to eat and not to be beaten, and she was trying to make trouble for her in front of her.
She immediately stopped crying, lowered her head and said, "This is the first time I've met Princess He'an, but the princess came up and asked me why I was so disrespectful to the late queen.
I really don't understand why a little girl like Princess He'an could be so hostile to me. I'm afraid that the princess, who is still young, might be instigated by someone with ulterior motives and destroy the peace of the harem, so I would like to ask the Queen Mother to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Princess He'an was a little panicked. She didn't expect that this woman would go directly to the Royal Grandmother to complain about her, and she cried even more than her. She was angry and anxious.
My eyes instantly turned red.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she also felt that something was not right. If someone was using He An to achieve his own goals, she would definitely not let him off easily.
"He'an, come here and tell the Empress Dowager who told you about Concubine Wan?"
The Queen Mother loved her granddaughter very much, so her tone was relatively gentle.
He An walked to Lin Jiuer and knelt down.
He was sobbing as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Grandmother, I just heard the palace maids talking about Concubine Wan and wondered how she could use my mother's name as a title, so I asked her."
Lin Jiuer thought that the children in the palace were indeed not simple, and they could tell lies easily.
With his pitiful appearance and the fact that it involved the late queen, everyone looked at He An with pity and love.
The emperor was really out of his mind. He had previously forbidden the palace to discuss the late queen, but he used the late queen's name as a title for his concubine.
It seems that what we have heard recently about His Majesty favoring Concubine Wan is true.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother felt that Princess He'an's dissatisfaction was understandable.
She also didn't expect that her son would indulge in beautiful women to such an extent.
"Raise your head." The Queen Mother said to Lin Jiuer in a deep voice.
Lin Jiuer could only raise her head, and the Queen Mother looked at her carefully for a while.
I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that this Concubine Wan was really similar to the late queen.
The emperor is her son, so she naturally knows him best. He and the late queen were childhood sweethearts and they have always had a good relationship.
It was only after the death of the previous queen that he began to let himself go and recruit more concubines.
But every year on the anniversary of the late queen's death, he would lock himself in Jingyang Palace and get drunk.
The empress dowager somewhat understood why the emperor gave Lin Jiuer the title of Wan. The late empress's real name was Sun Yunwan, and her nickname was Wan'er.
The Queen Mother didn't want to mention the matter again, but Lin Jiuer refused to accept it. Why was she being dragged out of the blue and criticized?
Concubine Zhao looks like she's gloating over someone else's misfortune. There's no way you can make fun of her!
Lin Jiuer directly used the control talisman on Princess He An.
"Grandmother, I shouldn't have lied to you. It was actually Concubine Zhao who told me. She said that Concubine Wan seduced my father and made him forget about my mother. She is a foxy woman, so my granddaughter wants to make trouble for Concubine Wan."
