Chapter 303 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 30
Early the next morning, the emperor issued an edict to promote Qin Wanrong from the fourth-rank Lady of Rongguo to the third-rank Lady of Rong, which was considered a high-ranking concubine in the entire harem.
There are a total of super empress Cao in the imperial harem, first-class four concubines, the eldest daughter of the emperor, the mother of the third prince, Concubine Zhao Shufei, and the mother of the eldest prince, Concubine Li Xianfei, and the other two four concubines are vacant. The second-class sixteen concubines are the mother of the second prince's daughter, Wang Guiyi, the mother of the second prince, Fang Shurong, the childless Zhang Wanyi, Wan Xiuyi, Shi Xiurong, Zhou Chongyuan, and the other ten sixteen concubines are vacant. The third-class three palaces, the mother of the three princes' daughters, Lu Jieyu, Rong Meiren, Wang Cairen, the fourth-class six courtyards, Li Junjun, Madam Zhangguo, Madam Xiaguo, Little Li Junjun, and the rest of the Hongxiapi and Shiyu who have served in the bed are countless.
Among them, except for the second and third princesses who are still alive, the rest of the princes and princesses died young, and the eldest prince's biological mother, Consort Li, has passed away. Among the sixteen concubines, except Zhang Wanyi who was promoted because of her favor, the rest were promoted because of pregnancy. However, except for Wang Guiyi who successfully preserved her pregnancy and gave birth to the second princess, no one gave birth successfully.
Everyone in the harem reacted very indifferently to the fact that Qin Wanrong was promoted to Concubine Rong, one of the three palaces just after she had served the emperor. Except for Zhang Wanyi who was furious about this, even Concubine Zhao Shufei, who had always loved the emperor, had no reaction to this.
All this is because of the emperor. To everyone in the harem, the emperor has always been a very "loyal" person. Basically, he falls in love with a concubine every once in a while. During this period, the emperor can be said to be particularly fond of this concubine. He will spend at least twenty days out of thirty days in a month with his favorite concubine.
However, the emperor's exclusive favor is sweet but short-lived. Once the emperor gets tired of it, he will soon forget about it. Most of the concubines in the harem who have been pregnant have had a period of exclusive favor, the shortest being three months, and the longest being Zhang Wanyi's two years.
Before Zhang Wanyi appeared, the one who was favored the longest was Concubine Li Xianfei. During the more than one year that she was favored, Concubine Li Xianfei was lucky enough to give birth to the emperor's first prince. However, Concubine Li Xianfei was unlucky. Before she had finished the confinement after giving birth to the prince, the emperor met his new true love.
After her next true love appeared, Concubine Li was depressed because of her fall from favor and neglected to take care of the eldest prince. When the eldest prince died of a sudden illness, she was too sad and died within half a month.
Among all the people in the harem, only Concubine Zhao Shu, who had loved the emperor since childhood, could be said to have been favored by the emperor for a long time. Even when the emperor favored someone else, he never visited Concubine Zhao Shu once every month. The other concubines with names and surnames had experienced being favored by the emperor and then suddenly falling out of favor, and their position as favored concubines was taken away by others.
They gradually became numb in this repetitive cycle, and had no jealousy towards Rong Meiren, the new favorite concubine. They just watched Rong Meiren being favored, watching her being spoiled by the emperor like they were before, then foolishly falling in love with the emperor, and then being abandoned by the emperor.
Today, Zhang Wanyi is repeating their past experiences. It is said that Zhang Wanyi got angry several times because of Concubine Rong's entry into the palace. Everyone is secretly laughing at Zhang Wanyi's ending.
Back then, Zhang Wanyi was a lowly dancer. Relying on the emperor's favor, she was arrogant and domineering in the palace. She offended many concubines by her outspokenness. Seeing that Zhang Wanyi had not fallen out of favor for two years, everyone suspected that Zhang Wanyi might be the emperor's true love.
The appearance of Lady Rong gave Zhang Wanyi a big slap in the face, which made everyone in the harem feel relieved and relieved. As expected, for a person of such status as the emperor, there is no such thing as a true lover. They must have thought too much.
There are very few descriptions about the emperor's harem characters in the plot of "Knowing Your Destiny", and the proportion of the emperor's concubines in Xiao Qin's previous life memories is also very small. This leads to Qin Wanrong feeling very strange when she pays her respects now.
She had thought that she would be subjected to harassment, oppression, sarcasm, jealousy and provocation from the concubines when she went to pay her respects, but this did not happen. Except for Zhang Wanyi who kept glaring at her fiercely, the other concubines including Empress Cao behaved very peacefully. Although their attitudes were not friendly, they did not make things difficult for her.
Qin Wanrong used her mental power to sense and confirm that they were not pretending, they were really calm. They were also very surprised when they saw her appearance, but after being surprised, they did not respond with fear or jealousy, but instead with a sense of understanding, sudden realization, and a mocking look when they looked at Zhang Wanyi.
There must be a reason for this. One surveillance robot is indeed not enough. Qin Wanrong thought about whether she should exchange for a few more surveillance robots and distribute them to the residences of high-ranking concubines in the harem. But then she changed her mind and thought, since these concubines have no ill will towards her, why should she waste her reputation? No matter what secrets there are, as long as it does not affect her plans, it has nothing to do with her.
But she absolutely could not spare any thought for Zhang Wanyi and Empress Cao. Qin Wanrong had not forgotten that Zhang Wanyi had tried to kill her many times. It was never too much to be cautious when dealing with people who had a grudge against her.
As for Empress Cao, although Qin Wanrong did not sense any malice from her, when she thought about the fact that she had successfully won the heart of the emperor in the next twenty years and had the capital to sue the new emperor for power after the emperor's death, she could tell that she was a very cunning person.
In addition, in today's society, even if she really gave birth to a prince, Queen Cao was the legal queen mother, and even if her son succeeded to the throne, she would have to be inferior to Queen Cao. Faced with such a roadblock, how could Qin Wanrong easily let down her guard?
Just as the concubines in the harem had expected, since Qin Wanrong entered the palace, the emperor had embarked on the familiar path of exclusive favor. He stayed in Qin Wanrong's Ronghua Palace for more than half a month, and only left reluctantly when Qin Wanrong's period came.
As early as the day of serving the emperor, Qin Wanrong took the fertility pill. She did not want to waste time and planned to get pregnant before everyone could react.
Because it has been difficult for people in the harem to get pregnant and give birth in recent years, and even if they give birth, the children are too weak to survive, the entire harem, not only Empress Cao, the leader who least wants the harem to give birth to a healthy prince, but all the people in the harem and the emperor himself all assume that the emperor's physical condition is not conducive to having children. For this reason, there are many secret medicines in the palace that can cause weakness and death, but there are almost no secret medicines that can cause infertility or miscarriage.
Empress Cao was not stupid, on the contrary, she was very smart. She knew that as the queen, if no one in the harem was pregnant, or if a woman got pregnant and had an accidental miscarriage, it would easily make people suspect her. So she never made any moves in this regard.
If she wants to get pregnant, then she should get pregnant. If she gets pregnant and cannot keep the baby because of her poor health, then she can't blame herself, right? If she gets pregnant and keeps the baby, then she can't keep the baby, then she can't blame herself, right? As long as the imperial physician can't find any problems, then no one will doubt herself, a virtuous and generous but unfavored queen!
