Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character
Chapter 171 Concubine in the Cold Palace 5
Upon learning the news that Su Tong was pregnant, all the concubines in the harem could no longer sit still. Ever since the imperial concubine was confined to her house, the concubines in the harem have been trying their best to compete for her favor, but no news has come yet.
Everyone's hearts began to tremble. Could it be that it wasn't the concubine's fault? It was their fault or the emperor's fault?
But now that one of the concubines is pregnant, it means that the imperial concubine really offended the royal heir, causing the concubines in the harem to be unable to get pregnant.
After the Queen learned about this, her eyebrows moved slightly, "I remember that Concubine Yue and Concubine Yu are from the same family, right? It's really lucky that they can both conceive a prince. It's a pity that Concubine Yue has a bad fate. I don't know what Concubine Yu's fate will be like."
After the emperor learned about this, he couldn't stop smiling. If this was a prince, the pressure on him would be less. He immediately issued an edict to confer the title of noble lady on Su Tong.
The concubines in high positions could no longer sit still. In just a few months, she was promoted from a little beauty to a noble lady. If she gave birth to a princess, it would be fine, but if she gave birth to a little prince, wouldn't she be canonized as a concubine?
You have to know that a fourth-rank imperial concubine is the head of a palace and can raise the little prince personally. These high-ranking concubines are all ready to take advantage of the opportunity.
The queen was also a virtuous and generous queen. After learning that Su Tong was pregnant, she ordered Su Tong to stay in her palace to take care of the baby and she didn't need to come to pay her respects.
Although Su Tong did not have to brave the wind and snow to pay respects to the empress, he would copy some Buddhist scriptures every day and offer them to the empress to express his respectful instructions, and he gained a good reputation for being gentle.
There was a raging snow and wind outside, and Su Tong stayed in her warm little nest with a sauerkraut pot beside her. She didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy, but her taste kept changing. Sometimes she liked sour food, and sometimes she liked spicy food. If she hadn't been pregnant with a baby, she would have thought she was pregnant with twins.
Not only did the emperor attach great importance to this pregnancy, but the empress dowager also attached great importance to this pregnancy and specially sent a personal nanny to take care of Su Tong.
Just after the beginning of spring, the weather gradually warmed up, and good news came from the palace. Two concubines became pregnant in succession, which brought a lot of joy. Even the emperor's brows were raised higher than before.
Su Tong didn't care, but all the women in the palace were sweet-faced but cruel at heart. They came to visit him under the pretext of sowing discord between him and those pregnant concubines.
If she were a little girl, she might have taken action. Su Tong's mentality was older than theirs. Not only did she easily get rid of those people, she even managed her own palace strictly.
At least the palace maids were not allowed to go out without permission. Even if they went out, they would try to go in pairs to supervise each other. If something happened, the two of them would punish each other. This led to all the palace maids behaving themselves and not daring to make any mistakes.
Although Su Tong was strict, he did not neglect her. He gave her the highest rewards, and even her monthly salary in the palace was higher than that of other concubines.
Ever since I became pregnant, the Su family finally sent me news, telling me to rest assured and take care of the baby and leave the rest to them.
It’s still a bit heartbreaking to say. The original owner thought so highly of her family and even wanted to revive the family’s glory. But since the original owner was banished to the cold palace, all the family’s resources have been invested in her sister.
It was not until her sister died of miscarriage due to punishment by the imperial concubine that the Su family immediately took back all the resources and even regarded themselves as pawns.
The original owner did not resent her sister. After all, they were sisters. Once they entered the harem, they should support each other. Moreover, after being banished to the cold palace, her sister also helped her a lot. The two sisters really did it together, sharing happiness and sharing difficulties.
If you want to blame someone, blame the imperial concubine for being so inhumane and for having to provoke the two sisters. Although she has taken the revenge she deserves, it is far from enough. The imperial concubine's good days are still to come.
Although the imperial concubine was confined to her own palace and required to chant sutras and pray, the emperor would often check on her because she had two little princesses. So the imperial concubine's life was not bad at all. The only drawback was that she could not go out.
But what kind of punishment was this for women in ancient times? Women in ancient times were not allowed to leave their houses. Although the imperial concubine lived in her own palace, she was the master of a palace, and she was also an imperial concubine. The palace was very large. It was said that there was a garden inside with a small pond, which was more spectacular than the large villas of later generations.
Su Tong also understood that now was not the time to deal with the imperial concubine, so he stayed calm and took care of his pregnancy. When the baby was eight months old, he met the original owner's mother.
It should have been an extremely touching moment for the mother and daughter to meet, but Su Tong's expression was indifferent, especially when he heard what the other party said, his face became even colder.
"Since the queen is pregnant, she must find a way to give birth to a little prince. This way, she can gain support for the Su family. You must know that if one prospers, all prosper. If one suffers, all suffer."
Su Tong really wanted to put the other person aside and see, is this what a mother would say to her pregnant daughter? There is no motherly heart at all, haha, fortunately, I don't have any expectations for them.
"Mother, can the Su family provide me with any help? When I was moved to the cold palace, the Su family ran away faster than anyone else."
Madam Su touched her nose and said with a guilty conscience, "We are all family, why bother about so much? We also want to preserve the strength of the Su family. After all, the imperial concubine gave birth to the emperor's only prince, and our Su family really can't afford to offend her. But now it's different. The imperial concubine's little prince is gone. If you take the little prince with you, you will soar to the sky."
"Oh, even if she can give birth to a little prince, what can it do? There are other pregnant concubines in the harem, and the emperor is still young, so he will have other children.
Now the only thing I can rely on is the emperor's favor. If the Su family is more careful, they should think of more ways to help me."
Adhering to the principle that one is a fool not to take advantage of a good opportunity, the boy drew a piece of jewelry asking for money, and also pointed out that if the money was not given, there would be no room for the two parties to continue the talks.
"Although we all prosper together and suffer together, if you really make me angry, the Su family will not be able to get away with anything good." Although Su Tong said this with a smile, his eyes were full of sharpness.
Madam Su was sweating profusely. How could a woman who used to be so gentle and considerate enter the palace? She has become like this in less than two years. It is really terrible.
"When I return, I will discuss this matter with Grandpa."
Madam Su naturally did not dare to refuse, because all they relied on now was Su Tong's belly. As long as she gave birth to a little prince, they would be the prince's in-laws. But he was the emperor's eldest son, so naturally he was different from other patients.
