Fast wear: lying down life, so delicious

Chapter 73 The Childless Emperor 72

"Yes, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not so powerful at the beginning!" another concubine echoed.

"He is just the second son born to the princess. She treats him like a treasure. You are still dreaming!"

"Hey, have you heard about it?" a concubine asked mysteriously.

"What did you hear?" The others looked at her curiously.

"You don't know! The Imperial Hospital is saying that the princess gave birth to a fool!"

"What? Is this true? Only a fool would dare to hold a banquet? Isn't it unlucky?" Some people were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"That's right! I don't know what this imperial concubine is thinking! I'm afraid she's crazy!"

"Shh, how dare you say that? Aren't you afraid that it will get to the Queen's ears?" someone reminded.

Gradually the voices of discussion disappeared!

At this time, a figure came out from behind the pillar. It was He Xin, the wife of He Liangren from Qixiang Palace. She looked at the direction where the concubines left with resentful eyes, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if she was suppressing the anger in her heart.

Her figure now looked even more haggard, and her heavy makeup could not hide her haggard complexion. It was obvious that He Liangren had not been doing well recently.

He Xin's life has been difficult recently. Ever since she tried to get close to the imperial concubine and was rejected by the emperor, she has never seen the emperor again. As a result, her life has become more and more difficult.

The eunuchs and palace maids were too negligent. The meals they delivered were all cold dishes, and if you wanted to eat something hot, you had to pay for it.

When she was sick, she would go to the imperial physician for help, and she had to consider the physician's mood when preparing medicine. Her maid Ziqi would always come back with red eyes when she went to get the medicine.

Later, perhaps because the emperor never came to Qixiang Palace and did not summon her, he neglected her even more. There were even leftovers on her table, which was even more outrageous.

Fortunately, her brother later sent money in from outside, and the eunuchs saw that she still had a man, so they gradually stopped treating her badly, but it didn't get much better. They still had to eat cold rice!

The question is, there are too many masters in the palace, and the most important ones are the nobles. When it is her turn, she feels cold, and it is not their fault.

She could endure these things, but the most unbearable thing was the ridicule and sarcasm from the concubines headed by Concubine Li and Chen Yaner.

Every time she went out for a breath of fresh air and met these people, they would mock her and say all kinds of nasty things to her.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. He? Why are you walking here alone?"

"Yes, we all have companions."

"The hairpin the emperor gave you really suits you!"

"Of course not! This is a special gift from the Emperor yesterday!"

"It's because of you, sister, that the emperor favors you!"

"I heard that the emperor hasn't been to Qixiang Palace for a long time, right?"

"That's right. Even we feel sorry for him."

"Look at her. She's so funny."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

These words were like sharp knives that deeply hurt her heart. But she could only hold back her tears and endure it all silently, because she knew that if she showed any dissatisfaction or resistance, it would only make these people more complacent.

What made her feel even more helpless was that the sisters who had entered the palace with her now avoided her. They were afraid of being implicated and dared not associate with her anymore.

She seemed to be completely alone!

Such days are simply a torture for He Xin. She doesn't know how long she can hold on, and she just hopes that all this will end as soon as possible.

However, she had never been able to wait for the emperor's favor again. Finally, the invitation sent by the imperial concubine gave her a glimmer of hope.

She thought that the Imperial Concubine valued her and wanted to promote her again. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Zhongcui Palace in her best attire, she found that the Imperial Concubine had invited almost all the concubines in the palace, including those who bullied her on weekdays.

This completely ruined her plan! She hated it. When she was favored, these people followed her and called her sister, sister, and they were so affectionate.

Now, it’s just that the emperor is disgusted with me, so he keeps calling her He Liangren and doesn’t even bother to call her sister!

From time to time, she would bring the emperor's rewards and favors to her to provoke her and embarrass her.

Compared to the humiliating behavior of the palace maids and eunuchs, she hated these lowly people who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak even more.

Just when she sent the gift, she went to ask for an audience with the imperial concubine.

Because the Imperial Concubine had always treated her well, she wanted to ask for a little mercy from the Imperial Concubine to see if she could be reinstated.

But who would have thought that the Imperial Concubine even let the palace maids take over the gift delivery, and even hypocritically said that they would help her regain the Emperor's favor.

But in reality, she was mocking her, saying that she had passed her prime, like a withered flower, and could no longer attract the emperor's attention.

After hearing these words, she felt hopeless. She realized that she no longer had any status in the palace and could only be trampled on and insulted.

Just as she was hiding in the corner and mourning silently, she suddenly heard the chattering of the concubines who usually bullied her.

They were talking about how the child the princess gave birth to turned out to be a fool!

At that moment, she couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. The high and mighty imperial concubine had now ended up like this.

Looking at the magnificent palace in front of her, she suddenly realized that there were so many unbearable things hidden in it.

He Xin left Zhongcui Palace silently while complaining to herself. Anyway, no one would care about her leaving.

Lin Wan'er and Wu Xiyuan, who were chatting in another corner, sighed as they watched He Xin leave in dismay.

They did not have much sympathy for He Xin's experience.

After all, in this deep palace, everyone has their own choices and positions. And He Xin, who chose to rely on Concubine Gao, has now failed, so she must bear the corresponding consequences.

When the emperor had no children, he was worried that Concubine Gao would come to the throne in the future, which would make things difficult for them.

Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born. As long as they live a safe and stable life and don't cause trouble, they will have a good ending no matter what.

From that time on, they had no intention of getting involved in these secret struggles for favor.

Now seeing what happened to He Xin, they feel that it is wise to protect themselves.

He Xin left silently. Her departure did not cause any ripples, just as calm as a breeze blowing across the lake.

Time passed by minute by minute, He Xin and Zi Qi walked slowly forward, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Yuehua Palace. There were two rows of guards standing at the gate of the palace, their expressions were solemn and majestic, which made people afraid.
