Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 192 Substitute
Fang Ruo, the head nanny in Yinzhen's palace, came to the Jinling Palace with Su Peisheng, holding a gold-embossed letter in her hand.
"This servant greets all the ladies and gentlemen. As the year draws to a close, I have great news: Concubine Hui is pregnant."
Liu Hua and An Lingrong had smiles on their faces. Yinzhen was not in the Forbidden City, and Wen Shichu stayed to take care of the empress dowager's illness. How could she not be pregnant?
Tong Jia Yunrong tightened her grip on the handkerchief, and Taxue behind her shuddered instinctively.
"Excuse me, Aunt Fangruo, how many months old is Concubine Hui?"
"Three months. Concubine Hui has been taking care of the Queen Mother diligently, and her body is already exhausted, so it took three months to confirm the result. In fact, there were already some signs at two months."
Tong Jia Yunrong said congratulations, but she already had murderous intentions towards Shen Meizhuang in her heart.
If Fang Chunyi becomes pregnant, she will at most be promoted to the rank of concubine. Shen Meizhuang's father is the third-rank Jizhou assistant commander, and he is also a concubine now.
If this child is really born, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, she will be made a concubine.
What's more, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wuya Chenbi liked her more than Liu Hua.
Fang Chunyi's fingertips holding the cup trembled slightly, and he was extremely panicked.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Liu Hua's warning gaze, and she immediately lowered her head in obedience and fear.
"That's great! The Emperor should leave soon. Concubine Hui is still waiting for you in the Forbidden City."
Liu Hua deliberately looked at Tong Jia Yunrong, but Fang Ruo just smiled without answering.
Fu Ruyin frowned, stroking her belly, feeling mixed emotions.
"They can give birth to anything, but I can't."
The hall was not very spacious to begin with, and everyone's every move could be seen.
Tong Jia Yunrong raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said in a playful tone: "Don't worry, Concubine Yi. When Zhen Shi left the palace to practice cultivation, she looked so much like Concubine Yi.
And she got pregnant again within three months of her first miscarriage."
Tong Jia. Yunrong's concern was superficial, but in reality it was a subtle sarcasm.
Which one of Queen Chunyuan and Zhen Huan couldn't keep the child?
But her unintentional sarcastic words made Fu Rujin open her eyes wide.
Fu Ruyin loves reading, and she has read almost all the books in Yinzhen's southern study.
Otherwise, the officials outside the court would not have said that she was charming and interfering in government affairs. After all, if a concubine stayed in the Southern Study for a long time and was seen by the officials, wouldn't that be considered interfering in government affairs?
Fu Rujin saw in some books that a woman's hairpin-shaped calligraphy with small characters and deep understanding of poetry and prose amazed her.
Thinking about it now, she already had an idea in her mind, as if a big hand was holding her, making it hard to breathe.
An Lingrong and Liu Hua looked at each other, and both understood each other's meaning. It was time to add fuel to the fire.
Dongli saw Aunt Fangruo off, but it was all false affection. Due to their deep sisterly love, they went their separate ways.
"I am sending Sister Chun off."
Fu Rujin is one year older than Fang Chunyi, but Fang Chunyi has a higher status than her and is pregnant, so she is now sitting in a small sedan chair.
Fang Chunyi turned around, smiled sweetly, and had someone carry her away.
Shuying is Fu Rujin's personal maid assigned by the Imperial Household Department. Fu Rujin always keeps her distance from her because she doesn't know who she belongs to.
After walking for a few quarters of an hour, Fu Rujin saw in a hidden corner that two young eunuchs and three young palace maids were sitting in a circle under a large elm tree, talking in whispers.
"Do you think we should show our faces in front of Concubine Chun? She is pregnant now. If she stays in Jiangnan, she will be promoted to a concubine, and we can go to Kyoto with her."
An older palace maid knocked on the young eunuch's hat and said angrily, "What are you dreaming of? Even if Concubine Chun wants to keep us, she has to report it to Concubine Qian."
Moreover, the Imperial Household Department now assigns palace maids and eunuchs to serve them personally, so we will definitely not be used.
A little palace maid pouted and pulled down a branch nearby, revealing the faces of several people in front of Fu Rujin.
"I heard that it wasn't like this before. When the ladies entered the palace, they could bring two maids with them.
Even if it was Concubine Chang, weren't Qingyun and Taxue beside her brought from home?
Why did the trend change in Yichang's term?
The older palace maid was weighing the silver inside her clothes, and her peripheral vision caught sight of Fu Rujin's skirt.
Her voice became louder: "Aren't you always serving the Master and the Mistress? Your ambition is much higher than that of us slaves, right?
Those brought from their homes into the palace would marry into official families. At the very least, they would marry eunuchs in the palace, who would be the chief eunuchs.
If the ladies really loved the maids, there would always be trouble. For example, the two maids beside Concubine Wan were extraordinary. One of them became her current mistress, named Huan Changzai.
The other one dared to break out even when he was in confinement, unafraid of the guards' swords. If Commander Niuhulu had not shown mercy, he would have been killed long ago."
The young palace maid was also excited when she heard the news. The palace was boring, especially the Jinling Palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids prepared some, but not much. Everyone felt lonely and unbearable guarding the empty palace.
People in every era love gossip, and the more depressing the environment, the more people want to listen.
"But why did I hear that this Wan Fei looks a lot like Yi Changzai?"
The senior palace maid saw that the junior palace maid had said it, so she didn't have to waste any more words, which seemed very deliberate.
At this moment, he just followed Liu Hua's instructions and patiently explained: "Be careful with your words, don't let others see you."
After saying that, Fu Rujin turned her head and looked around, then quickly hid in the corner.
It's a pity that her hair was exposed, but it didn't matter.
"Now that Concubine Wan has become a nun at Ganlu Temple, how can she still be a concubine? But she really looks a lot like Yi Changzai."
After hearing this news, Fu Rujin felt even more empty.
The young palace maid clapped her hands and laughed heartlessly. "This reminds me of the storybook that Lady Lian gave me yesterday. It also said that the great poet Su Shi's wife Wang Fo married his cousin after her death. Her name was Wang Fo, right?"
Several palace maids and eunuchs shook their heads in unison; most of them had not learned anything from him.
Not to mention the wife of the great poet Su Shi.
Unfortunately, Fu Rujin, who had read thousands of books, was exhausted at this moment, and her thoughts were finally confirmed.
Shuying just lowered her head and supported Fu Rujin. Although it was not them who took action, they saw that their goal had been achieved.
It's another night of delivering letters.
