Chapter 46: Repeated Struggles
The next day, Mo Xi got up very early. Baili Muyun had already gone to court. Aunt Hu and Er Yu had already brought clothes to wash her up. They only lightly applied her makeup and put on a light green skirt.
After having breakfast, she rushed to the Queen's Palace. This was her first morning meeting, and she didn't want anyone to take advantage of it.
Mo Xi arrived not too late. When she arrived outside Yongshou Palace, the queen had not yet gotten up. She must have slept poorly last night. Two concubines in the palace became pregnant one after another, and Mo Xi finally got the favor. The first one
Each one was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
The other people who arrived outside the Queen's Palace early saw Mo Xi with unfriendly eyes, especially Lin Guiren. Mo Xi didn't know when he offended her, but she always looked displeased with him. But then he thought about it.
When I think about it, there is no need for such a reason to hate someone in this palace, so let them do it.
"I've met Empress Yibin." Mo Xi was lost in thought when he heard someone saluting Jin Zixin, and Mo Xi quickly bent his knees.
"Get up." Jin Zixin didn't have any airs. After greeting everyone without courtesy, he walked directly in front of Mo Xi, took her hand and said, "Congratulations, sister, you've managed to survive."
Mo Xi's face turned red. Saying such things in public always makes people's faces feel hot. He just said: "Are you feeling well?"
"Everything is fine." Jin Zixin smiled, looked at the concubines over there, and lowered his voice and said, "I found musk in the things those people sent yesterday. I was so scared that I threw those things away.
The fire is all gone."
Mo Xi remembered that Jin Zixin once said that his grandfather was a doctor, so she had some medical skills and was probably more interested in things like musk. She thought she didn't explain this to Eleven yesterday because she was afraid
Scared Eleven.
"Do you know who sent it?" Mo Xi wondered who was so impatient.
"I don't know, it was a jade pendant, and I didn't remember it in the account book. The person who administered the medicine was so thoughtful that he hollowed out the jade pendant and put it in the musk. How could an ordinary person know it?" Jin Zi said with lingering fear.
Mo Xi was about to say something else, but she saw Yue Bing slowly walking towards her. She couldn't see the slightest bit of belly, but her belly was erect, as if she wanted to tell the world that she was pregnant. The girl next to her was cautious.
Waiting on the ground, the eunuch behind was holding a food box, and he could smell a sour smell from a distance.
"She took away all the sour plums in the imperial kitchen yesterday, saying she was pregnant with glutton." Jin Zixin said next to Mo Xi.
"I've met the Yue Concubine."
Yue Bi was not as easy to talk to as Jin Zixin. She slowly took a candied sour plum in her mouth and pretended not to see the squatting crowd. Jin Zixin couldn't stand it and didn't want Mo Xi to suffer the same squatting, so she said: "
Sister, why don’t you let them get up first.”
"Yi Bin, what you said makes it sound as if I am deliberately making things difficult for them." Yue Bin spoke in a weird voice, which was really disgusting.
"Sister, I misunderstood." Jin Zixin was no match for Yue Bin. Seeing her being so arrogant, he didn't know how to speak.
"Misunderstanding? Concubine Yi, you were promoted to the concubine position yesterday. Do you want to step on my head? Don't forget that I haven't been concubine yet. Did the emperor say that as long as I am pregnant with a dragon seed, I will be promoted to concubine?
Concubine, if you call me sister, you won't be wronged." Concubine Yue looked so arrogant, which was really annoying.
"Yes." Jin Zixin knew that he couldn't convince her, so he simply didn't say anything. Yue Bin then asked everyone who had been bending their knees to stand up. Seeing that the queen didn't come out for a long time, she ordered her servants to knock on the door and say that she was pregnant.
, why are you standing outside like this? The little eunuch was so frightened that he trembled. Who dares to knock on the queen's door?
Being in the way of Yue's concubine, but not daring to go, she raised her hand and just in time to slap it down, Cuiyu, the maid beside the queen, opened the door of the main hall and bowed and saluted: "The queen has woken up, please come in, masters."
Yue Bin snorted coldly and walked in front leading everyone in, as if she was the leader.
After saluting one by one, Mo Xi had not yet been canonized, so he had to sit at the bottom. In the queen's palace, there were ice cubes carved into the shapes of auspicious animals, and the wind wheel was fanning slowly. Although the weather in August was still sultry, in the morning
But it is cool. With two pregnant people here, it is naturally not suitable for such a cool breeze to blow.
"Move these ice cubes out!" Yue Bin shouted coldly.
"What? When will it be your concubine's turn to give orders in this palace's Yongshou Palace?" the queen said calmly.
"Queen, I am pregnant with the emperor's child. If something goes wrong with you, you must not be able to explain it to me?" Yue Concubine contradicted her unwillingly.
"Sister Yibin is also pregnant, why don't you see her making irresponsible remarks?" The queen looked obviously displeased. Could it be that she didn't take her seriously just because she was pregnant?
"My concubine is of a noble body, but naturally she is not as rough-skinned as some people." Yue's concubine spoke so harshly that Jin Zixin did not dare to say anything, but her face turned red and white.
"Oh, I wonder if there are some people here, who are they?" The queen seemed to be interested, and said slowly: "Could the concubine Yue mean sister Mo Xi?"
Sure enough, they would never forget to drag her into trouble. It seemed that her identity as a musician was the reason for them to trample on her wantonly. Mo Xi didn't say anything. She didn't like the queen or the concubine, so she really didn't need to be a gun in their hands.
.
"Sister Mo Xi is also the Emperor's favorite, why do sisters always hold on to some old things?" Jin Zixin couldn't stand it anymore. Mo Xi was kind to her, and she would not let Mo Xi be humiliated.
"Oh, sister Yibin's deep sisterly love is really touching. As soon as she mentioned Mo Xi, she jumped out impatiently. Did she see that sister Mo Xi had just received the emperor's favor and wanted to have a warm relationship?
Feelings?" Lin Guiren is the queen's man, so naturally he helps the queen speak.
"You..." Jin Zixin was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pulled the handkerchief and glared at Lin Guiren.
"Sister, don't get so angry, you are pregnant with a dragon seed." Lin Guiren glanced at Jin Zixin's belly and spoke in a sour tone.
Mo Xi glanced at Jin Zixin, indicating that she was fine, and then said: "Sisters, you are right. Mo Xi is of low status and naturally thick-skinned, but Sister Yue Bin and Sister Yi Bin are both pregnant. If they catch a cold,
, it’s always hard to explain to the emperor what happened.”
"Then what should I do, according to my sister?" The queen asked the problem to Mo Xi.
"I'll give you a fan," Mo Xi said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that Mo Xi actually walked over and stopped the wind wheel, picked up a fan and fanned the wind for the Queen. Mo Xi just thought about Jin Zixin, she didn't want Jin Zixin to be hurt unnecessarily, especially this kind of
The harm of conflict of emotions.
In this way, the queen's vanity is satisfied, the concubine also gets an advantage, and everyone is in peace.
"Why is my beloved concubine fanning the queen? Are all the servants in this room vegetarian?" Baili Muyun's displeased voice sounded, still wearing a dragon robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon with golden thorns on it.
