Chapter 202: Change of Mind, Split Luo Zi Dai
"Yes, this favor is nothing but a passing cloud. Just like Concubine Qi, although she is not favored, because she gave birth to a prince, no one in the palace dares to treat her harshly."
"Even if the emperor doesn't favor her, he will go and take a look at her from time to time."
As Zhen Huan spoke, she couldn't help but touch her belly.
Many times, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.
Seeing how Concubine Xuan had gotten to where she is today, it was impossible for Zhen Huan not to feel jealous.
She also knew that the fact that Concubine Xuan was able to be conferred the title of Concubine after giving birth to a prince was naturally due to the contribution of the Fucha family, but was there no importance attached to this by the Emperor?
If he didn't value her, why would he have changed her original title to the more dignified one now?
If the Emperor did not value Concubine Xuan, why would he specially give the Sixth Prince a nickname? You have to know that among so many children in the palace, only the Sixth Prince, born to Concubine Xuan, has this honor.
A mother is honored by her son. Sometimes we can also say that a son is honored by his mother.
The emperor took a liking to Concubine Xuan, so he attached so much importance to the prince born to her.
If I could give birth to a prince for the emperor, I believe the emperor would also attach great importance to it.
Zhen Huan suddenly felt more uncertain about this answer, and she couldn't firmly tell herself a definite answer.
"Yeah, it's different having children and not having children."
Shen Meizhuang also spoke with a sigh.
Speaking of children, she couldn't help but think of the time when she thought she had a child, but she didn't expect that all this was a trap set by the other party.
Although Lingrong reminded her that she was not being plotted against, she still couldn't let it go.
The feeling of suddenly getting something and then suddenly losing it is really painful.
So she was very eager to have a real child to make up for the pain she had lost during this period.
"Sister Wan and Sister Mei are both good-looking. If they have children, they will definitely be cute."
"By then, I will be the aunt of your unborn baby. You two sisters can't refuse."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Chun'er quickly smiled and spoke to liven up the mood.
She has been in the Old Summer Palace for such a long time, but she has not yet received the emperor's favor. She is worried that the emperor will forget her.
She thought that sisters Wan and Mei would recommend her, but too many things happened during this period of time. She could see the difficulties of her two sisters, but she could never completely stop caring.
In fact, as long as they can mention themselves a little, the emperor might remember them.
Maybe the sisters have too much to do.
Chun'er silently comforted herself in her heart, but she couldn't suppress the trace of unwillingness.
It is obvious that her birth is much more noble than those Han army flags. Concubine Xuan, who is also from the Manchu army flag, is already a concubine, while she is still just a maid.
Among those who entered the palace together, she was the only one who remained a concubine, while An Guiren, who had the worst family background, was promoted to a noble lady.
How could she relax and not mind at all?
"Your Majesty, Jiang Zhongmin, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is here and wants to see Your Majesty for something."
Su Peisheng walked lightly into the inner hall and saw the emperor playing chess with Concubine Jing.
He walked up to the emperor and spoke softly.
"Let him in."
The emperor looked at the situation on the chessboard and spoke very casually.
"Your Majesty, the total amount of radix ruthenicum that Persia has brought into the palace today is only three hu. I'm afraid it is not enough to supply all the concubines. I am stupid and don't know how to distribute these three hu of radix ruthenicum."
Jiang Zhongmin entered and bowed respectfully to the emperor before asking.
Although he was the Queen's man, the position of Chief of the Imperial Household Department was a lucrative one, so he naturally hoped to keep this position as long as possible and make more money.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing complaints from the concubines and whispering in the emperor's ear about some matters, he tried his best to act according to the rules. If he was really unsure, he would ask the emperor's opinion and would never offend anyone easily.
The previous one thought he was able to please everyone, but ended up completely losing his position.
"You're asking me questions about such trivial matters. I think you're sitting too comfortably in this position."
The emperor picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and then spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing is clearly offensive. Chief Steward Jiang is just a servant, so he naturally dare not make a haphazard decision."
Concubine Jing smiled and tried to smooth things over.
She didn't mind making more good friends as long as it didn't affect herself. After all, there were mostly servants in the palace, and she never knew when she would need them.
Jiang Zhongmin looked up at Concubine Jing with gratitude. Concubine Jing was indeed kind-hearted.
"You have been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several months now. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has become much more sensible than before. This is obviously your credit."
Jingpin also picked up a chess piece and put it down, then turned to look at Jiang Zhongmin and said.
"As the Empress, she is the most important one in the imperial court. Concubine Xuan has the most beautiful eyebrows. She cannot be missing this one, otherwise this little girl will get angry with me."
When the emperor said this, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked up at Jingpin opposite him.
Jingpin naturally understood what the emperor meant and spoke with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. My eyebrows don't need to be modified too much. I like this natural look."
"You do have nice eyebrows, but you don't really need these things."
"If I remember correctly, I have rarely seen you draw your eyebrows since you entered the mansion."
The emperor thought for a moment and then spoke to Concubine Jing.
"Your Majesty has a good memory. I rarely draw my eyebrows."
Jingpin didn't expect that the emperor still remembered when she entered the palace, which made her feel sweet.
I never thought that this might be because the emperor has a good memory.
"As for Concubine Nian, she always liked to have long eyebrows. Now that she has been punished, she has become much more docile. Just give her one hu of Luozidai."
After the previous incident with An Bihuai, his attitude towards Shilan has indeed changed a lot. It seems that Shilan is now truly repentant.
Besides, Nian Gengyao was still fighting on the battlefield for him, so he couldn't neglect Concubine Nian too much.
Although Concubine Nian was still under house arrest, he would occasionally go to her place to sit for a while after the last incident with Concubine An.
"As for the other concubines, they don't have Luozidai, and the same goes for Tongdai."
The emperor opened his mouth and gave instructions to Jiang Zhongmin.
"The servant knows."
Jiang Zhongmin lowered his head and responded.
"My lady, this year's Luozidai has arrived."
Songzhi brought the Luozidai to Concubine Nian with some excitement.
"I thought the emperor was angry with me, and he even refused to share the Luozidai with me. The emperor still has me in his heart."
Concubine Hua said with some joy as she looked at the exquisite Luozidai in the box.
