Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Mo Xun bowed and started a duet with Shen Wei: "If the Empress Chen doesn't believe it, I can demonstrate it to you and the masters."

Zhang Miaoyu was eager to watch the fun and said excitedly, "Look at Sister Mei Fei. Is she ill?"

Liu Ruyan had an indifferent expression, and there was no sign of joy on her beautiful face.

Mo Xun's attitude was very respectful. He only glanced at Liu Ruyan quickly and stiffly, then quickly lowered his head to indicate that men and women should part ways from now on.

Mo Xun bowed his head and replied, "Madam Mei Fei looks depressed, her brows are frowning, her lips are colorless, her spleen and stomach are weak and cold, and she has a serious body cold. She should take nourishing food every day, soak her feet and rub her abdomen, and then she will be cured."

Liu Ruyan slightly lowered her lips and said in a cold voice: "You do have some abilities."

She has a cold body, her limbs are always cold, and her menstruation is irregular.

But Liu Ruyan didn't want to be treated either.

Anyway, she lost the emperor's love, so it didn't matter whether she lived or died. She was like catkins in the wind, or plum blossoms covered by winter snow, no one cared about her, and she lived in a sickly state.

Mo Xun turned again and glanced quickly at Concubine Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling!

The next moment, Imperial Doctor Mo was surprised and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to Concubine Shu! Great joy! It is really great joy!"

Lu Xuan's head buzzed and the teacup in her hand almost slipped. She instantly understood the whole process.

The so-called "observing the face to see the illness" was a trap deliberately set by the Concubine Chen! The purpose was to reveal that she was pregnant!

The Queen Mother behind the pearl curtain asked in confusion, "What's the good news?"

Imperial Physician Mo said, "From my humble observation, Madam Shufei's face shows that she is pregnant! This is a great joy!"

The Queen Mother was surprised: "Really?"

Doctor Mo said, "Looking at a person's face can only reveal the symptoms. I dare to ask to take Concubine Shu's pulse in person."

The Queen Mother was overjoyed and kept saying, "Quick! Quick! Show it to Concubine Shu!"

Mo Xun gladly accepted the order and walked towards Lu Xuan respectfully. He knelt on the futon beside him, opened the medicine box, and took out a thin silk handkerchief: "Please put your left hand on the table, Madam Shufei, and let me take a closer look."

Lu Xuan secretly clenched her handkerchief.

Good Empress Chen!

She was totally unprepared and was tricked to this extent. But Lu Xuan had no way to refuse. The Queen Mother had spoken in person, and there were many eyes staring at her. She could only smile and extend her right hand.

Mo Xun placed the handkerchief on Lu Xuan's wrist, lowered his head, and took Lu Xuan's pulse.

It was quiet.

Everyone was eagerly waiting to know the results of the pulse diagnosis.

Lu Xuan's expression was flawless, with a hint of suspicion, uneasiness and expectation, as if she really didn't know she was pregnant. In fact, Lu Xuan secretly stared at Mo Xun's face for a long time.

He has a handsome face and youthful looks. He is the new imperial physician in the palace and has a close relationship with the Concubine Chen.

Lu Xuan thought to herself that sooner or later, she would personally expose the past of Concubine Chen and the young imperial physician, making it so that these two people would never be able to turn over a new leaf.

After taking the pulse, Mo Xun was delighted: "Congratulations, Queen Mother, congratulations, Concubine Shu, it is indeed a pregnancy pulse! Concubine Shu should be two months pregnant."

After a pause, Mo Xun said worriedly, "It's just that Concubine Shu is weak. She has been suffering from poor spleen and stomach recently, and has been worried and unable to sleep, which has led to an unstable fetus. Concubine Shu, for the sake of the heir in your belly, you should rest well, don't get angry, and don't work too hard."

Lu Xuan retracted her right hand and forced a smile: "I understand. I have been feeling unable to eat for the past two months, and I have been busy taking care of Cheng Jue, so I have not consulted the imperial physician to check my pulse. I did not expect that I am pregnant."

The Queen Mother was obviously very happy and said, "Today is my birthday and Concubine Shu is pregnant, so it is a double happiness. Madam Qian, send my treasured Buddha head feather gauze cloak and two hundred-year-old ginsengs to Concubine Shu's palace. The palace maids in Changxin Palace who serve Concubine Shu will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

As if that was not enough, the Queen Mother said, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and select two experienced doctors to check the pulse of Concubine Shu every two days. Someone must be assigned to monitor the meals sent to Changsheng Palace to ensure that no mistakes are made."

The Queen Mother valued the fetus in Lu Xuan's belly so much that the other concubines were envious.

Lanpin lowered her head sadly and touched her flat belly. The emperor came to her palace very rarely, and she had a miscarriage that year and was injured.

I don’t know when I will be able to get pregnant again.

The Xie family is counting on her belly. If she fails to get pregnant, the Xie family will probably follow the example of the Tan Tai family and send a new bride into the palace.

Lanpin silently clutched the teacup. She had to find a way to win favor and return to the position of concubine. The positions of the four concubines were full, so she had to find a way to pull Mei Fei down...

Everyone has different thoughts.

Shen Wei stood up with a smile, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said considerately: "Queen Mother, Sister Shufei is pregnant, and she is also in charge of all matters in the harem, so she must be overwhelmed. The heir to the throne is the most important thing, and I am willing to take care of the affairs of the palace for Sister Shufei."

Lu Xuan clenched her back teeth, lowered her eyebrows, and hid the annoyance in her eyes.

The title of "the most important thing for the royal family" was pressed down on her, and she could not refuse. After all, the biggest role of the imperial concubines was to reproduce heirs for the royal family.

Lu Xuan felt confused and sad for a moment.

The Queen Mother said happily: "Since Concubine Shu is pregnant and the Queen is ill, you will be in charge of the harem temporarily."

After a pause, the Queen Mother looked at Zhang Miaoyu who was eating candied fruit and added, "Yu Fei, since you have been in the palace for a long time, you should assist Chen Fei in managing the harem."

Shen Wei knew that the Queen Mother had asked Zhang Miaoyu to help her in order to share the pressure. After all, Shen Wei had only been back in the palace for less than two months, and the outside world might think that she was not familiar with palace affairs.

Zhang Miaoyu only held a nominal position, but the real power was still in Shen Wei's hands.

Shen Wei stood up calmly and said respectfully: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. Sister Miaoyu and I will do our best to manage the harem."

Zhang Miaoyu, who was eating secretly, almost choked.

No, why did you drag her into this?

She didn't want to manage the harem! How tiring it was to look at the account books every day. She just wanted to hug Shen Wei's thighs, lie down completely, and be a salted fish in the harem who ate and waited for death.

But since the Queen Mother had spoken, Zhang Miaoyu did not dare to refuse and could only stand up aggrievedly: "I understand... Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration."

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet ended in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere. After the Queen Mother left, the ladies and concubines left Qinghua Hall one after another.

The moon was at its zenith, and the lanterns on the eaves of the palace were casting bright light. The shadows of the guests were reflected on the cold floor tiles and walls, like dark snakes, fleeting.

Lu Yun did not leave immediately, but accompanied her sister Lu Xuan back to Changxin Palace.

The Changxin Palace was brightly lit.

The rewards that the Empress Dowager sent to Changxin Palace were like flowing water. Most of them were medicinal herbs for preserving the fetus, as well as some precious fabrics for cooling off in summer and brocades for keeping out the cold in winter. They were all top-quality special tributes from the royal family.

Even though she was born in the Duke's Mansion, Lu Yun had never seen so many fine fabrics. She was full of envy that her sister could receive so many rewards just for being pregnant, and could also be loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

She also wanted to live a good life like this.

At the palace gate, Lu Yun pulled Lu Xuan's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister, I don't want to go back to Yunzhou. I want to stay in Changxin Palace to accompany you."
