The concubines' seats were arranged according to their rank.

Among them, the positions of the elderly are fixed, while the newcomers are ranked according to their existing positions.

Shen Meizhuang and Noble Lady Fucha were both noble ladies, so they should be arranged to sit together.

Since Zhen Huan was a commoner, she was arranged to sit next to Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong.

But because Noble Lady Fucha and Concubine Xia were pregnant, they were specially allowed not to come to pay their respects.

Therefore, the seats for the two of them were empty. The palace maid in charge of moving tables and chairs removed the empty seats according to the rules and then merged the other seats together.

Therefore, Zhen Huan was arranged to be next to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong sat between Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan.

If Zhen Huan wants to chat with Shen Meiyu, she must do so in front of An Lingrong.

.....It feels weird.

Zhen Huan glanced at Sister Mei, and after receiving Sister Mei's gaze, she withdrew her gaze. She was really embarrassed to chat with others in front of An Changzai.

An Lingrong noticed Zhen Huan's secret thoughts, but her expression did not change. She had heard a long time ago that Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen from Xianfu Palace had a good relationship.

According to An Lingrong's own understanding, the reason why she became friends with Xia Dongchun was because she was attracted by Xia Dongchun's somewhat stupid IQ and her family background.

So what is the reason why Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen are so good friends?

In terms of family background, Concubine Shen's family background is much better than Concubine Zhen's.

Speaking of favor, although the sisters in the harem are all about the same in favor now, Zhen Changzai is the only one who does not sleep with the emperor, and she has no benefits at all.

Concubine Shen would run to Xianfu Palace whenever she had time, not afraid of being infected by the disease.

It really feels like a curse has been cast on me.

This is something An Lingrong cannot understand.

At this moment, Zhen Changzai finally went to the emperor's bedchamber and could pay respects to the empress with her sisters.

Concubine Shen was probably the happiest one.

An Lingrong lowered her eyes and gently stirred her handkerchief with her slender white fingers. She felt that the gazes on both sides of her made her feel uncomfortable.

——I miss Xia Dongchun a little bit.

Aren't they just sisters? She also has...

Ever since Hua Fei realized that the emperor no longer loved her, she no longer cared about the favors of her sisters in the harem.

After all, no matter how much she fights, the emperor doesn't love her, so what's the point of fighting?

With a slight melancholy in her heart, Concubine Hua looked at the young and beautiful Zhen Huan without any negative thoughts in her mind.

.....I wonder how the crab roe pastry turned out?

The supply of crab roe pastries is limited in winter, so she can only satisfy her craving and cannot enjoy them to her heart's content like in other seasons.

pity.

Hua Fei was thinking about all sorts of things, but she didn't think about how to attack the new concubine who had successfully served her in bed.

She had no idea of ​​love, was illiterate, and too lazy to do needlework.

In winter, I am too lazy to go out, so the only thing I can do to pass the time is to eat delicious food.

The morning greeting meeting passed uneventfully. Yixiu sat at the head of the group, patiently waiting for the sisters to chat for a while before announcing her departure.

"I'll take my leave." The concubines spoke in unison.

After leaving the palace, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly squeezed next to Zhen Huan and walked with her.

Jingpin didn't care that Zhen Changzai ignored her as the master of Xianfu Palace. She looked up at the sky with melancholy and felt lonely in the palace.

She had previously entered the residence of Yinzhen, who was still the Fourth Prince. Except for the few days when she first entered the mansion, she rarely had the opportunity to sleep with him.

For more than half a year after the emperor ascended the throne, she had no chance to sleep with him. She could only stay in the empty Xianfu Palace every day and count bricks.

When she was halfway through counting, the emperor suddenly called her to sleep with him.

And it's not just about covering yourself with a blanket, but also about having a room/thing to do.

Jingpin is looking forward to it, if she can get pregnant through this...

Jingpin looked down at her belly and sighed deeply in her heart. She seemed to have had some unrealistic thoughts.

If you can’t get pregnant at the age when you are most likely to get pregnant, how can you get pregnant when you are old?

In fact, Concubine Jing is younger than Concubine Qi.

It’s just that women in ancient times were forced to mature early, so even though she was only in her twenties, she had the illusion that she was “old”.

Jingpin returned to the palace, and the maid in charge of making the medicine brought it up and said with a smile:

"My lady, your medicine is ready."

This was a tonic that the emperor had specifically ordered the imperial physician to give her, saying it would nourish her body and asking her to remember to drink it every day.

Jingpin didn't know why the emperor suddenly cared about her so much, but it was an honor to be cared about by the emperor.

At least it gave her a warm feeling that someone was still alive and cared about her, and that person was the emperor.

Jingpin even stopped counting bricks at night and no longer paid attention to whether the remaining bricks had cracks.

Instead, he turned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and submitted a plan to repair the bricks of the Xianfu Palace.

——As a palace, the bricks actually have cracks. This shows that the Imperial Household Department is incompetent!

After receiving Jingpin's request for repairs, the current head of the Imperial Household Department, Chen Jiacheng, immediately sent people to repair it.

There are no broken bricks in Xianfu Palace now.

The medicine represents the emperor's care and that there are still people who care about Jingpin in the harem.

Therefore, even though the daily medicine was bitter, Jingpin felt it was sweet. In fact, the thing she looked forward to most every day was taking the medicine.

The medicine has just come out of the pot and is still emitting rich hot steam.

The best time to take medicine is when its temperature is closest to that of the human body, so Jingpin did not drink it immediately.

The palace maid was also tactful. She placed the medicine on the table and kept an eye on the temperature of the medicine.

Just wait until it’s almost done and then ask Jingpin to take the medicine again.

Speaking of this medicine, it was ostensibly prescribed by the imperial physician for Concubine Jing, but in fact it was the antidote for Huanyixiang that Yinzhen personally gave to Concubine Jing.

In her early years, Jingpin lived with Huafei and was considered a member of her courtyard. When Huafei had Huanyixiang, Jingpin couldn't help but smell it.

The body is damaged to a certain extent.

This was the main reason for her infertility.

But she didn't inhale for long, at least compared to Concubine Hua, it was nothing.

Therefore, Jingpin still had a chance to be saved. By drinking the medicine prescribed by Yinzhen, she could at least get pregnant again.

But Concubine Hua is not doing well. She has been smelling it for too long and her foundation has been damaged. She will never have a child in this life. All she can do is to regulate her body and try to let her die of natural causes.

As for Concubine Cao and Concubine Li, they were also poisoned by Huanyixiang and could not conceive. They could only take medicine to regulate their bodies like Concubine Hua.

It can be said that for all the women in the harem who needed medicine, Yinzhen asked the imperial physician to prescribe special prescriptions for them.

When we chat on weekdays, there seems to be a faint smell of medicine in the air...

Those who didn’t know might have thought that the concubines all went to the Imperial Medical Service to work part-time.

Because most of them need to take medicine, even if there is a medicinal taste, no one tacitly brings it up, and no one has any reason to dislike anyone else.

-

Over here, in Jingren Palace, after everyone left, Jianqiu also brought up the medicine.

Yixiu always feels sleepy after taking medicine and needs to take a nap.

Yixiu herself has been taking medicine to treat migraines all year round. She is used to it and doesn't even need to prepare candied fruits.

"I haven't had a headache for a long time." Yixiu's eyes were filled with hope and joy. She looked at Jianqiu and said, "I feel my body is getting better day by day. Maybe soon, I can get pregnant..."
