My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 19 Someone in secret
Bai Ningwei went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects as usual, but she saw Nanny Qin standing outside the palace gate.
"Please return, Lady Hui. The Empress was exhausted from yesterday's palace banquet, so there's no need to pay respects these days."
"no?"
Bai Ningwei immediately understood that what these few days meant was that the palace gates would not be opened until two months later, when the queen's pregnancy was stable.
Bai Ningwei naturally wanted to mind her own business, so she asked Gualü to present the gift, said a few auspicious words and asked Nanny Qin to convey them, and then left.
Nanny Qin entered the outer hall with a pile of gifts, picked out a roll of unframed painting paper and entered the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, the masters of the various palaces have already returned with their gifts. I don't find the others' gifts interesting, but Lady Hui's gift looks a little different, so I brought it here specially for Your Majesty to see."
When the scroll was unfolded, the picture showed a fat baby holding a koi fish. From the hair accessories, it could be seen that it was a boy.
Bai Ningwei's current painting skills are a result of her skills from the later period of her previous life. In her previous life, after she reached a high position, she had nothing better to do, so she learned to paint and play the piano.
This painting technique is truly captivating. The Chinese watercolor technique, combined with a touch of comic book chibi proportions, makes the doll in the painting appear even more adorable and soft. The queen's twinkling eyes made her look at it again and again, wishing she could give birth to a prince as adorable as the painting.
"She has always been very thoughtful. She even painted such a picture overnight to bless me."
The queen looked at the thin piece of paper in her hand and did not feel looked down upon. Instead, she thought it was a good thing.
"Have it framed and hung above my bed so I can look at it every day. Remember to check it carefully to make sure no one has tampered with it."
"Yes. I will definitely watch the whole process, one look is good."
Nanny Qin took the order and went down to make arrangements.
Watching her most trusted nanny leave, the queen, who was sentimental because of her pregnancy, sighed softly.
"If I had to find someone else in the harem who I could feel at ease with, it would probably be Lady Hui."
"Mother, if you want to find someone you can trust, why don't you look for me?"
"Yuan'er, why did you come so early today?"
Xiao Yuan'er, the Queen's biological daughter, is also Xiao Duo's eldest princess.
"I wanted to come last night. But my father was here, so I didn't bother you."
"Nonsense, no matter when you come, you won't disturb the Queen Mother."
The queen pulled the princess over and lovingly helped her straighten a pearl hairpin.
Xiao Yuan sat down obediently, but complained a little.
"Your Majesty, Mother, just mentioned Lady Hui. Why does Your Majesty trust her? I hate everyone that Your Majesty likes."
The queen smiled helplessly and shook her head.
"The concubines in the harem are all your elders. You must not be rude to them outside. Do you understand?"
"I understand. By the way, I'm here to give you a gift. I hope you'll give me a younger brother."
There is always a lot of excitement in Fengyi Palace.
Bai Ningwei completed her mission and returned to her Lingqi Palace, only to learn that the emperor had issued several decrees in succession last night.
First, he reprimanded Jipin for her misbehavior in front of the palace, stripped her of her position and banished her to the cold palace. Then he reprimanded Jipin's family for their negligence in raising their children.
Although there was no actual punishment for Jipin's family, this sentence of "bad parenting" basically doomed all the unmarried girls in Jipin's family to have difficulty finding a husband in the future. Even the men in the family would have trouble finding a husband.
Bai Ningwei was secretly shocked after hearing this. This punishment was really cruel.
Another thing is that a doctor named Zhang from the Imperial Hospital was exiled to Lingnan. Everyone knows whose pulse doctor Zhang was responsible for.
The last decree was one that could not be made public. It was said that the emperor had taken back the right of the queen's family to pay their respects to the palace every month.
This is a bit of a slap in the face of the Queen. Logically speaking, the Queen is most emotionally unstable at this time and is most in need of comfort from her family. Not being allowed to enter the palace to pay respects at this time, perhaps the Queen's pregnancy is related to her family.
Bai Ningwei ate some fruit while analyzing the current situation in her mind. Given the Queen's physical condition, the fate of this pregnancy was uncertain.
If the queen died prematurely because of this pregnancy, her fate would be very different from her previous life.
Xiao Duo also thought of this problem.
When he returned to the Shenlong Temple and was alone, Xiao Duo began to sort out the whole incident.
As a reborn person, Xiao Duo only hopes that everything is under his control. Things beyond his control will inevitably make him suspicious about what the purpose of God's rebirth is.
After much thought, he concluded that his rebirth would inevitably lead to some changes in the course of events. But he didn't know what would change, and whether it would be for the better or for the worse. These questions troubled him so much that he kept smashing cups all night.
So there were rumors in the palace that His Majesty did not want the Empress to have a legitimate son, and his so-called joy was just a cover for his disgust.
After hearing the rumor, Nanny Qin issued a death order: anyone who dared to spread the rumor to the Empress's ears would be killed with the entire family.
In order to ensure a safe pregnancy, the empress distributed the management rights of the harem to the emperor's only two concubines, Concubine Liang and Concubine Xian.
From then on, apart from the emperor's daily rewards sent to Fengyi Palace, the harem rarely heard news about the queen.
It was two months later that he heard the next news about the Empress. After three months, the pregnancy was stable, and the Emperor finally put his mind at ease. With a wave of his hand, he decided to stay in the temporary palace for a while.
There were eight concubines accompanying him, and Bai Ningwei's name was one of them.
Normally, a beauty who had never served in the queen's bed was not qualified to be an attendant, but Bai Ningwei was one of the few people the queen could trust, and the queen mother also liked Bai Ningwei to pay her respects from time to time and talk about something new and interesting, so she was given one of the eight places.
In fact, Bai Ningwei wanted to say, thank you, there is no need to bring her along.
After all, the temporary palace couldn't compare to the imperial palace. While the scenery was nice, many of the facilities couldn't compare. Going there, her rank would likely limit the amount of red charcoal she could obtain. The spring weather was still cold, and she would suffer.
But whether she was willing or not, a month later, she rode on her own carriage with Gualü Caihe, despite the envious and jealous gazes of other palace concubines.
As soon as she got in the car, Bai Ningwei discovered something interesting.
In the corner of the carriage wall, there is a small cabinet of about an inch square, and on the cabinet is a small wire rack. A small red clay stove is firmly placed in the wire rack, and there is a wire mesh on the stove so that the maid can heat tea at any time.
Compared to the emperor's 23-horsepower four-wheeled luxury chariot, Bai Ningwei's two-wheeled carriage was quite small. When she sat in it, and a maidservant came in to serve her, she could only curl up. Who knew which little cutie had the idea to use this corner to install such a small stove in her carriage?
But you know what, the journey to the palace takes a whole day. With such a small stove, the temperature in the carriage can be much higher, not to mention how convenient it is to drink hot water.
"Look under the cabinet to see if there's any carbon."
After hearing the order, Gualü opened two layers of drawers and found a set of tea bowls on the top layer. Inside the tea bowls were fried oil tea wrapped in oil paper. Next to it was a bag of shelled chestnuts, which were still warm because of the stove.
The drawer below was filled with silver charcoal of all the same size.
"Wow, Master, the Imperial Household Department is really thoughtful this time, providing both a stove and snacks."
Bai Ningwei lifted the curtain a little and looked out. With so many carriages and people, who could see who? She kept reminding him.
"What happened in the car is confidential. Don't tell anyone."
