She always plays cards out of the ordinary

The Queen walked to the couch and sat down, her armor tapping the tabletop lightly. "Fucha Xinyun, I underestimated her. I thought I had to wait until Zhen Huan came out to defeat Hua Fei. I didn't expect the Emperor to deal with Hua Fei so easily this time. I haven't rested for a few days, and Zhaopin has popped up again.

During the selection, Zhen Huan and the Emperor had a good time, and Shen Guiren was dignified and generous, and was liked by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Fu Cha Xinyun was only able to enter the palace because of her face and the family background of the Fu Cha family. I really didn't take her seriously, but Zhen Huan fell flat as soon as she entered the palace, while Shen Meizhuang lived up to my expectations. She even managed to tie with Zhaopin. But now, Fu Cha Xinyun is pregnant again, and was promoted to Zhaopin, which means she is more than one step ahead. Jianqiu, Hua Fei has just fallen. My enemies are rising again. What do you think I should do?"

Jianqiu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Don't worry, madam. She is just a little concubine. I have many ways to prevent her from having a baby."

The Queen picked up the teacup and drank some tea. "I am not worried about Concubine Zhao's pregnancy. It's just the same method. But the Emperor was strange this time. In the past, he would come to discuss with me, but this time he directly issued an order. Jianqiu, what do you think the Emperor means?"

"The Emperor has always respected the Empress. In the past, all matters in the harem were handled by the Empress. Although there is Concubine Hua to help manage the six palaces, she is too arrogant and unpopular. I think the Emperor announced this matter just now because he was too happy. After all, no child has been born in the palace since the Emperor ascended the throne. Now that Concubine Zhao is pregnant, it is normal for the Emperor to be happy. At the latest tomorrow morning, the Emperor will send someone to tell you. As for Concubine Zhao, Jianqiu will take care of it for the Empress."

The next morning, since Yinzhen did not allow anyone to disturb her, Fucha Xinyun was able to have her first lazy sleep since entering the palace.

Of course, while she was sleeping in, the concubines in Jingren Palace were also discussing her.

When all the concubines heard the Empress tell them that Concubine Zhao was pregnant and was promoted to Concubine Zhao by the Emperor, they were all very surprised.

Of course, unlike everyone else's jealousy, Concubine Jing was somewhat happy. Noble Shen and Concubine Zhao had been in favor for about the same period of time, and since Concubine Zhao was already pregnant, Noble Shen would probably be pregnant soon too.

Xin Changzai was as carefree and quick-tempered as ever, "Empress Zhao is pregnant, we should go and congratulate her."

Concubine Qi was a thorn in the side, and she also gave birth to Hongshi. In her opinion, it would be best if there was only Hongshi as the only prince in the palace as before. However, not only were the two bastards outside the palace suddenly brought back, but Concubine Zhao suddenly became pregnant. How could Concubine Qi accept this?

"So what if she's pregnant? Whether she can give birth or not is another matter. How can it be easy for someone with little luck to give birth to a child for the emperor? She's just pregnant, but she's already taking advantage of her favor and not paying respects to the empress. Who gave her the courage? When we were just pregnant, she paid respects as usual. She's just precious."

Cao Qinmo, on the other hand, tried to smooth things over by saying, "Perhaps Concubine Zhao is feeling unwell?"

During the period after Concubine Hua was imprisoned, no, now she is no longer called Concubine Hua, but should be called Concubine Nian.

Since Nianpin was imprisoned, Cao Qinmo had a very happy life. In the past, she had to report to Nianpin every day, and not only that, she was often scolded by Nianpin. If she did not perform well, Nianpin would talk about her child Wen Yi, which made Cao Qinmo feel distressed.

But because she was only a minor noble, and both mother and daughter made a living under Concubine Nian, she could not do anything to Concubine Nian.

Now that Concubine Nian was imprisoned, she took Wen Yi to the Imperial Garden for a walk every day and played with her, and didn't care about anything else.

Unexpectedly, within just a few months, two strong opponents emerged among this group of newcomers who had just entered the palace.

Especially Zhaopin, who was already a noble lady when she entered the palace. But she was given a title by the emperor right after she went to bed.

She just got pregnant, and she was promoted to concubine. In the past, who was not promoted after giving birth to a child? There are many who were not promoted even after giving birth to a child. Haven't you seen how many unknown concubines in the palace of the Holy Ancestor died without a rank!

Now that Concubine Zhao has been promoted just after she became pregnant, if she loses the baby, will she be demoted to a noble lady? In the end, it was just the emperor's will. Cao Qinmo sighed in her heart that the same person has a different fate.

"She said she was not feeling well, and I said I was not feeling well, but I came anyway, didn't I?"

The queen saw that everyone had vented their anger, so she told the emperor's will. "The emperor said that Zhaopin has just become pregnant, so she should rest and rest, so she is exempted from paying respects. She can only pay respects after Zhaopin's baby is born."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, everyone fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Jingpin smiled with emotion and said, "The Emperor really dotes on Zhaopin."

Everyone seemed to see another Hua Fei rising.

It was a taboo not only for the old people but also for the new people to promote Concubine Zhao as soon as she became pregnant.

Especially Concubine Shen, who was favored at the same time as Concubine Zhao. They both started from the same point. Concubine Zhao was given a title and promoted. Now she is pregnant, but you, Shen Meizhuang, are still a noble lady.

As the queen, Yixiu looked down on all the concubines equally. Zhaopin was not here today, but Shen Guiren was still here. "Shen Guiren, you and Zhaopin entered the palace at the same time. Zhaopin was the first one in your batch to sleep with the emperor, and also the first one to be pregnant. You and Zhaopin are equally favored, so you have to work harder!"

Shen Meizhuang stood up calmly and answered "yes".

But she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Although she knew that such things would definitely happen after entering the palace, Zhaopin and she were on the same starting line at the beginning.

Now that everyone else had run a long way, she was still standing there, so she must not be happy in her heart. But she was still holding on, and she didn't show anything on her face.

The Queen did not expect that just a few words would be enough to sow opposition between Shen Meizhuang and Zhaopin, but as these were two favorite concubines, she only needed to give a push from behind and the two sides would naturally fight each other.

But Chun Changzai jumped out to echo Xin Changzai's words, and said innocently: "Since Sister Zhaopin is pregnant, I want to go and see her too. I haven't been to Sister Zhaopin's palace yet."

As she spoke, she pulled An Lingrong aside and said, "Sister An, come with me! We will go visit Sister Zhaopin together when the time comes."

An Lingrong was very embarrassed. She had never served in the emperor's bed since she entered the palace. Concubine Zhao was pregnant, but she was still a virgin.

An Lingrong knew about Zhaoping's pregnancy last night. After all, neither the emperor nor Zhaopin had concealed it. But she really didn't want to see Zhaopin's happy face at this time.

What Concubine Chun said made the Queen pay attention to An Lingrong. How would she feel when she saw that someone who came in with her and lived in the same palace with her was favored and pregnant, while she herself was still unpregnant?
