Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

These past few days, Zhen Huan has been invited to the Yikun Palace by Concubine Hua every day, but the Emperor would not send someone to summon her from the Yikun Palace as he did before.

Even if the young eunuch came to Yikun Palace, it was Concubine Hua who summoned him, not Zhen Huan.

Therefore, these free days were a good thing for Yu Ying'er. Having gained power, she naturally became more proud and arrogant.

Shen Meizhuang was laughing so hard in Changxi Hall that she fell backwards, scaring Caixing and Caiyue so much that they kept glaring at Xiaofuzi.

Xiao Fuzi looked embarrassed. He also wanted to make his queen happy, but the queen couldn't stop laughing. So, should he tell the story next or not?

Seeing that the people had stopped, Shen Meizhuang pretended not to notice the expressions of the two maids and said to Xiao Fuzi, "Go on! What else did you find out?"

Shen Meizhuang's pretty face was flushed red because she laughed too much, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but she still wanted to listen, after all, the palace was too boring.

Xiao Fuzi also felt that she couldn't let her mother laugh any longer, for she was really afraid that she would have a miscarriage, so she thought carefully and chose something that was not too funny.

"My Lord, you may not know that last night, the Emperor summoned me to the Yangxin Palace to serve him. Guess what happened? I ran into Concubine Xin on the way."

"It was quite a coincidence! A slight breeze blew the lantern out of Concubine Xin's hand, startling Yu Ying. So, Yu Ying, using the Emperor's authority, ordered a few eunuchs to have Concubine Xin sent to the Ministry of Punishment."

When she heard Yu Ying'er, Shen Meizhuang's smile indeed faded and her expression straightened.

Caiyue was surprised. "Does Yu Ying really not fear death? In this palace, everyone lives cautiously. Is she really not afraid of being punished by the Empress or the Queen Mother?"

Xiao Fuzi immediately smiled apologetically and replied, "You guessed right. This morning, the Empress Dowager ordered Concubine Xin to be released from the Ministry of Punishment and compensated her. She also punished Yu Ying with house arrest and stripped her of her title of Madam Miaoyin."

Shen Meizhuang shook her head slightly, full of disapproval, and said with a pursed lip, "No, no, the punishment is still too light. A villain like her who succeeds will never learn a lesson. Well, let's just wait and see."

It is not known whether it was because Shen Meizhuang lived too leisurely and comfortable a life, or because the emperor was too kind to her that caught Hua Fei's eye.

As Zhou Ninghai entered Changxi Hall, he bowed perfunctorily, "Empress Ning, my Empress Hua invites you!"

Shen Meizhuang's beautiful eyes were filled with depression: "I understand, I'll go after changing my clothes."

If she remembered correctly, the incense burned in Yikun Palace, 'Huan Yi Xiang', would be harmful to the fetus, severely damaging the female body and making it impossible for her to get pregnant.

What excuse can I make for not going? If I go, I can't show that there's something wrong with Huan Yi Xiang. Otherwise, it won't just offend Concubine Hua, but also the three bigwigs in the palace.

In Yiku Palace, Concubine Hua was leisurely massaging her cheeks with a high-quality massage wheel.

He leaned lazily on the chaise longue, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Shen Meizhuang.

"Greetings to Concubine Hua," Shen Meizhuang squatted and saluted.

As soon as Shen Meizhuang entered the house, she smelled a very strong fragrance that hit her in the face and made her nose itchy.

Then she took up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with it, sneezing loudly. Concubine Hua gave Shen Meizhuang a dissatisfied look.

"Ningpin is here. It's just right. I'm copying Buddhist scriptures for the soldiers on the front lines. I'm a little tired. Please continue copying."

Her tone was casual and frivolous, and she didn't care at all about how Shen Meizhuang would react, because no one had ever dared to refute her.

Shen Meizhuang's eyes darkened, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. She sniffed and said, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant and cannot stand the smell of such strong incense. Could you please put out the incense first?"

Concubine Hua's eyelids twitched, and she glared at Shen Meizhuang fiercely. However, she also knew that pregnant women should not light incense. However, she was reluctant to put out the incense, so she could only wave her hand helplessly.

"Let her move to the outer room to copy!"

Shen Meizhuang sighed, raised her handkerchief, and performed the hair bun ceremony: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After coming to the outer room and taking off her armor, Shen Meizhuang sat up straight and began to copy.

After copying a few lines, he smacked his lips and said to Songzhi, "Aunt Songzhi, please bring me some water. I'm a little thirsty."

Songzhi was waiting beside Concubine Hua. Seeing that she had no objection, she picked up the pot on the table, poured a cup for Shen Meiyu and placed it in front of her.

Shen Meizhuang frowned and looked at Songzhi intently: "I can't drink tea. Could you please bring me some plain water?"

Songzhi bowed slightly, realizing that she hadn't thought it through carefully enough, so she changed to a glass of water, but she didn't go back into the room.

Shen Meizhuang continued copying, and after copying a few lines, she began to rub her lower back. She rubbed it again and again, as if she could no longer bear it, and then she gave instructions to Songzhi.

"Aunt Songzhi, please change the chair for me and give me a pillow. My stomach is really uncomfortable."

Songzhi frowned and could only agree, but when she turned around, she did not see Shen Meizhuang's sneer.

Shen Meizhuang: "Pregnant women have a lot of things to do. Thank you, Aunt Songzhi."

Shen Meizhuang said this with self-mockery, then tried the comfort of the seat, then nodded with satisfaction, a smile on her face.

However, Shen Meizhuang did not pick up her pen to continue copying. Song Zhi asked in confusion, "I wonder if the Empress has any other requests? Please tell me as well."

Songzhi looked very helpless. She had only copied a few lines of the scriptures on the table, but she had been ordered to do so three times.

Shen Meizhuang's smile deepened. "Aunt Songzhi is so thoughtful. I recently injured my leg. Pregnant women are prone to swelling in their legs, so my legs are in pain right now! Wait a minute, until I can recover."

Shen Meizhuang sat there for a long time without picking up the pen. Just when Songzhi's patience ran out and she was about to speak again.

Shen Meizhuang suddenly stood up from her seat, and Caixing immediately stepped forward to support her. The two of them then walked around the room, circle after circle.

Concubine Hua was in the room, quietly listening to Shen Meizhuang giving orders. She couldn't help but frowning more and more, and became impatient. Seeing Shen Meizhuang walking around in circles, she found it even more annoying.

However, since they were indeed pregnant, she couldn't reprimand them, so she could only wave her hand and send Shen Meizhuang away.

Shen Meizhuang's face immediately changed to one of guilt: "Your Majesty, how can this be good! Since you are copying scriptures to pray for the soldiers on the front line, I must do my part."

Hua Fei didn't want to bother with anyone anymore. Her patience had already run out. "No problem. It's the same when you go back to the palace to copy. Just remember to send it to me when you're done."

I didn't want to say anything more, out of sight, out of mind, so I quickly waved my hand.

Shen Meizhuang left the Yikun Palace, smiling triumphantly. That was it? She was pregnant, who was she afraid of? This piece of flesh in her belly was a talisman. As long as she said she wasn't feeling well, who would dare to embarrass her?

But the more Concubine Hua thought about it, the more unhappy she felt. She then said to Songzhi, "Since Concubine Ning is unwell, I think Concubine Wan should be fine. Go and summon Concubine Wan."
