My eunuch An is a yandere

Chapter 52 True Qi Arrived

The day when the concubine entered the palace was a beautiful sunny day.

A group of young and beautiful girls lined up to enter the palace, full of longing and anxiety for the palace.

The maids divided the people into six teams and told them not to look around, not to make loud noises, and to stand aside when they saw a distinguished person and not to look up...

After giving a lot of instructions, he took them to the Yunting without caring whether the concubines remembered them or not.

The road to the Ye Ting passes through the Imperial Garden.

According to palace rules, concubines below the rank of imperial concubine were not allowed to visit other people's houses casually. Xiao Duo's harem was not very well-fed, so the Imperial Garden was usually deserted.

But today is strange, both Concubine Shu and Concubine De came to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers.

Seeing Bai Ningwei sitting in the octagonal pavilion earlier, Concubine Shu curled her lips and sat far away on the other side.

"De Fei didn't go to the junior high school today, nor did she care about that stupid matchmaking meeting. How did she find the time to appreciate the flowers?"

Concubine Shu spoke in a sarcastic tone, and Bai Ningwei didn't beat around the bush with her, but went straight to her point.

"The concubines are entering the palace today. I'm worried that some nobles will embarrass these girls, which would make the royal family look like they have no grace and would be laughed at."

"Bai Ningwei! Who are you referring to?"

"What did I say?"

Bai Ningwei paused holding the teacup, waiting for Concubine Shu to explain it to her with a puzzled look on her face.

"Aren't you saying that I'm so rude that I'll be laughed at?"

Concubine Shu raised her orchid finger, wishing she could poke her nose.

"Concubine Shu, you should return to the palace and ask the imperial physician to take a look. You may have some hearing problems. Could it be the effects of pregnancy?"

Bai Ningwei shook her head and sighed, with an expression that said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Ouch, my stomach hurts."

Seeing that Concubine Shu was about to lose again, she immediately covered her stomach and fell to the ground. The frightened palace maids were in a panic, some helping others and some using them as cushions.

Bai Ningwei calmly took a sip of tea before speaking in a neutral tone.

"Don't panic, everyone. When I saw your queen just now, I sent for the Dean and Imperial Physician Liang. I figured they should be here by now."

Concubine Shu was acting enthusiastically, thinking that this time she must make her suffer. The good thing about pregnant women is that they can put aside their shame and just say they have a stomachache, which is sure to make the other person drink a pot.

Who would have thought that Bai Ningwei had actually asked for the imperial physician so early, as if she had already expected that she would do this.

No wonder I haven’t seen Concubine De’s maid. It turns out she went to invite her in person.

Doctor Liang was responsible for Concubine Shu's pregnancy, so no one would question the outcome if he was invited. But since the director of the hospital was also present, Doctor Liang certainly wouldn't dare to play along with her.

This Bai Ningwei is indeed very cunning.

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Liang and the director of the hospital hurried over, carrying medicine boxes on their backs.

Concubine Shu covered her stomach in embarrassment and had to say it.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It must be the fetus moving."

The two imperial doctors looked very unhappy after hearing this.

Fetal movement should be more than five months, but Concubine Shu is not even five months pregnant yet.

(In ancient times, nutrition was simple and newborns were light in weight, so blind guessing of fetal movement would also be delayed.)

Just in case, Imperial Physician Liang went forward to take the concubine's pulse. He said that the spring chill had not yet dissipated, and that the concubine might have caught a cold, which caused the sudden abdominal pain. She is now safe.

Seeing the forced attempt to save face, Bai Ningwei couldn't help but shook her head.

Looking at the cloudless weather, Concubine Shu wanted Doctor Liang to shut up.

Not only did she fail to frame someone but she also lost face. She didn't want to stay any longer and hurried back to the palace.

The passing beauties just happened to see the tail end of the concubine's procession.

The girls in the team immediately whispered their envy.

"Did you see that? It's the concubine. What a grand ceremony."

"Perhaps the Emperor."

"That's impossible. The Emperor is busy with government affairs right now."

The leading nanny suddenly turned around and scolded them.

"Everyone keep quiet! Have you forgotten the rules we just talked about?"

The nanny's scolding immediately silenced the little girls. They lowered their heads and dared not look around or speak again.

Bai Ningwei, who was a step slower, happened to see this scene.

This reminded her of her previous life, when she had experienced a similar scene.

The nanny turned around and was about to leave when she saw the ceremonial procession not far away. She immediately knelt down to pay her respects and kowtowed.

This nanny did not hold a high rank in the palace, and it was rare for her to meet an honored person, so naturally she had to seize every opportunity to please him.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

As soon as the nanny knelt, the concubines behind her followed suit and knelt on the ground, saying auspicious words of greeting in rising and falling voices.

The chaotic and inconsistent greetings amused Bai Ningwei.

She probably knew why Concubine Shu was staying here today. She wanted to experience the feeling of being worshipped by everyone, but she didn't expect that she would get this experience.

"Everyone, get up. They don't know the rules, so the maids just need to teach them patiently and don't be too harsh. You've been working the hardest these days, so take these silver ingots and buy some of your favorite food to treat yourself."

Bai Ningwei finished speaking, and Gualv handed over a bulging purse. Mammy smiled from ear to ear and thanked her profusely.

After seeing Bai Ningwei off, the nanny spoke seriously to the concubines behind her.

"Remember that noble lady just now. She is the Empress Defei. It was she who changed the rules for you all those years ago. You are so lucky."

The concubines didn't understand what the maid said, but it didn't matter. Li Xiaojiu was already in the palace, and he would soon be able to spread the story of Bai Ningwei in detail to the concubines.

As soon as Concubine Shu returned to the palace, she heard that Bai Ningwei had met a concubine. The scene was so grand that all the concubines knelt down to worship Concubine De and shouted "Good health to the Queen".

The angry concubine smashed a set of tea sets but still couldn't vent her anger. In the end, she was so angry that her stomach started to hurt.

When Xiao Duo heard that she had a miscarriage, he immediately left his official duties and rushed over. When he arrived, Concubine Shu had already taken the medicine to maintain her pregnancy.

He called the servants to ask her about it, and she was so angry about something so shameful that she could not be mentioned in public. Xiao Duo was extremely disappointed. Knowing that Concubine Shu was a person who could not stand up, his love for her immediately dissipated.

Concubine Shu was completely unaware of what was happening, and in the afternoon she happily waited for her mother and cousin to arrive.

Shufei's family originally lived in Kyoto, and her father was a seventh-rank provincial judge.

Now, because Concubine Shu is favored, her family has been rewarded by the emperor and inherited the title of earl. Although it is not hereditary, with the addition of Concubine Shu and the royal heir, her house is now bustling with traffic and people.

The family's morale was boosted by these people.

Shufei's mother had long wanted to come to the palace to see her daughter, but there were many rules in the palace, and she didn't want to lose face for her daughter, so she specially invited a nanny from the palace to learn the rules at home, and then she handed in a sign and waited for the day.

It can be said that Concubine Shu's mother was also a bit lucky. When she was brought to Concubine Shu's palace, the emperor just came out.

She was reminded by the eunuch leading the way and immediately knelt on the ground. Unfortunately, Xiao Duo didn't notice her and walked away.

The Countess didn't even pay her respects, let alone see what the emperor looked like.

When Concubine Shu heard her mother say that the emperor didn't even see her, she, who was already sensitive during pregnancy and had suffered a series of defeats at the hands of Bai Ningwei, lay in her mother's arms and cried uncontrollably.

"Mother, my daughter always suffers at the hands of Concubine De."

The Countess stroked Concubine Shu's hair and gave her earnest advice.

"Your Majesty's belly is the most precious thing right now. As long as you give birth to a prince, will anyone dare to wrong you in the future?"

"Even the imperial physician isn't sure about this."
