Chapter 155 Shen Meizhuang 25
Yikun Palace
Concubine Hua kept smashing the ceramic ornaments to vent her resentment and anger.
Why why?!
Why can others give birth but I can’t?
After the fall, Concubine Hua knelt on the ground and cried with her head down, and the surroundings were in a mess.
Songzhi approached cautiously, "My queen..."
"Songzhi, tell me, why can't I give birth?" Concubine Hua looked up at her. She was unwilling to accept this. She didn't have her usual pride. She was like a defeated fighting cock, full of dejection.
"Your Highness..." Songzhi didn't know how to comfort her. Now the Emperor no longer favored her. Once in a while, the so-called "Your Highness still loves you the most" was totally untenable. She could only say, "Your Highness still has your Highness in his heart. You will get pregnant sooner or later."
"Sooner or later?" Concubine Hua smiled miserably and tears fell like rain. Obviously, she also knew that Songzhi's words were all groundless consolation. The emperor didn't even like to come to her Yiku Palace, so how could she get pregnant?
Why was Shen Meizhuang able to get pregnant? Wasn’t it because the emperor visited her frequently?
At this time, Concubine Hua had long forgotten that before Shen Meizhuang came into being, she was the most favored concubine in the harem, but she was still unable to conceive.
She resented, was jealous, and was dissatisfied with Shen Meizhuang, but she was afraid of upsetting the emperor. The emperor didn't like to come to her in the first place, and if she had any opinions about her, wouldn't she be further and further away from the emperor?
Her brother was fighting outside and not in the capital, so she had no one to talk to.
……
Suiyuxuan West Side Hall
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were sitting on the couch, drinking tea together, across the square table.
Previously, seeing that Zhen Huan had a chance to be favored by the emperor, all the palace maids came to fawn on her. Although the emperor had not summoned her for a long time, some things were left behind. Without Su Peisheng's secret instructions, Zhen Huan could now have tea and drink tea with An Lingrong.
The news that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant and had been promoted to Concubine Yi spread into the West Side Hall. It was when Huanbi was serving tea that she said it in a dissatisfied tone while throwing things around.
Huanbi thinks Zhen Huan is a hopeless person who only causes trouble and then puts the blame on the people around her.
Look at the kind of friends she has, An Lingrong, who has never been favored like her!
It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
It would be better to let her come. She is more honest and decent than Zhen Huan, and doesn't do those weird things. Maybe she can become a concubine with a title like Shen Meiyu.
Zhen Huan was not happy when her maid threw a tantrum in front of outsiders, but there was really no one else around her who could be used. Everyone avoided her like the plague, except for Huanbi, who she had brought in from outside the palace, so she had no choice but to serve her.
Therefore, Zhen Huan smiled apologetically, as an apology to An Lingrong, and discussed Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy, "Sister Mei is so lucky, it hasn't been long, and she's already pregnant."
There was a hint of sourness in his tone, but more of joy. It was not that he was truly happy for Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy, but since Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, it would be inconvenient for her to sleep with the emperor, so the emperor could only find someone else.
Then, wouldn’t there be myself?
What Zhen Huan thought of, An Lingrong also thought of. The two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Zhen Huan took the initiative to show her goodwill, holding An Lingrong's hand and holding it between the two of them, "You and I entered the palace together, and we are like sisters. We should support each other."
An Lingrong smiled slightly and said yes naturally.
Are you like sisters?

Xianfu Palace
In Changxi Pavilion, Caizhen and Caizhu were busy, telling the palace maids and eunuchs to pack up. On the other side, Yongshou Palace still needed to be cleaned, so the Empress could not move in right away, but she had to pack up the things that would not be used first.
Shen Meizhuang sat on the couch, watching them coming and going without feeling annoyed. As long as she touched her belly, she would feel very happy.
The emperor hugged her tightly from behind, his two big hands folded over her belly, his chin resting on her shoulder, his nose filled with fragrance, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a smile on his face.
The two of them snuggled together quietly, exuding a sense of happiness.
Caizhen and Caizhen looked at each other and signaled the palace servants who were packing up to be more careful for fear of disturbing the Emperor and Concubine Yi.
Shen Meizhuang was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine, and the servants' way of addressing her changed from "Little Master" to "Madam".
Your Majesty, the more people in Changxi Pavilion call you Your Majesty, the more hope they have in their hearts. Your Majesty Yipin is not only the number one among the new concubines entering the palace, but also ranks among the top among all the concubines in the harem. Now, the only three people who are above Your Majesty in their family are the Queen, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Qi.
But there are always some short-sighted people who destroy this harmonious scene.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Aunt Jianqiu from the Empress's side is here."
Caizhen reluctantly stepped forward to report.
"Well, let her in."
Shen Meizhuang moved her shoulders and pushed the emperor aside. She didn't want outsiders to see how close the emperor and her were, especially in front of the queen's people.
Jian Qiu came in with a smile. Seeing that the emperor was also slightly stunned, she did not hesitate to say auspicious words, "Congratulations to the emperor and congratulations to Concubine Yi. The Empress heard that Concubine Yi was pregnant, so she specially ordered me to bring these supplements that are good for pregnant women and fetuses."
It is not advisable to extend a hand to a smiling person, Shen Meizhuang naturally smiled back, "Thank you for your concern, Queen."
"You are so polite, Concubine Yi. As the mother of all the princes, the Empress should pay more attention to you."
While being polite, Jianqiu declared that the Queen was the legitimate mother of all the princes, including the one in Shen Meizhuang's belly.
This was the truth. In front of the Emperor and Concubine Yi, she spoke on behalf of Concubine Yixiu with full confidence.
After hearing this, the emperor felt that Yixiu was a competent stepmother, but it was a provocation to Shen Meiyu, as the Queen, her stepmother, came when she was pregnant.
She was unhappy, especially after Jianqiu left. Caizhu found out that some of the supplements sent by the empress had been soaked in safflower. She was even more unhappy and it showed directly. Her face, which had been smiling all afternoon, suddenly turned cold. "Your Majesty, please look, you just found out that I am pregnant with an heir. All the dirty and smelly things have come to Changxi Pavilion."
