Chapter 180 Sending Warmth
Chapter 180 Sending Warmth
Yes, what was her identity when she was pregnant with me?
A promise? A concubine? Or a palace maid with no status at all? ?
At that time, she was still working under Tong E'niang. She must have been worried and frightened every day and hated herself to death, right?
How can I miss such days?
On the contrary, when she was pregnant with the fourteenth child, she was already the Defei, holding a high position of power and authority, and was deeply trusted by her father.
Her position is already very high, so high that she still reminisces about it every time she thinks of it.
Yongzheng felt ridiculous for his own self-conceit.
But then he heard the other party continue:
"Emperor, Concubine Shen is pregnant. I remember that you haven't made a formal reward yet, right?"
"I guess you were too busy these days and forgot about it. Why don't you take advantage of today to reward her and make her a concubine?"
As the empress dowager, she was naturally qualified to promote concubines.
But saying it out loud in public is a bit...
Yongzheng's first reaction was to refuse.
This was originally Yixiu's job, but now he has taken over it.
But what if he said that Shen Meizhuang’s qualifications were too shallow to be promoted?
That must involve Huanbi.
So this is a wise move by the Empress Dowager!
She knew she didn't like it, and if she refused, she would have a reason to attack Qingqing.
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solemn, and everyone knew that this was an invisible confrontation between the two giants.
If it was the Queen who made this suggestion, Concubine Hua would definitely have something to say.
But the other party is the Queen Mother!
Forget it then.
Shen Meizhuang, who was standing below, could not hide her excitement and was still immersed in joy.
Without noticing, the emperor remained silent for a long time.
As the empress dowager's bargaining chip to trick the emperor, this incident will definitely leave a thorn in the emperor's heart.
Just like in the original drama, she wore the golden hairpin given by the empress dowager all day long, so that the emperor could think of the deep meaning behind it every time he saw it.
It would be strange if he could be happy.
After the fake pregnancy was exposed, Yongzheng simply reached out and pulled out the golden hairpin. Perhaps he had wanted to do this for a long time?
"Okay, then I'll follow what the Empress Dowager said and promote Concubine Shen to Concubine Shen!"
Yongzheng's face showed no emotion and he agreed.
But everyone always felt a little awkward when they heard the two words "Princess Shen".
You've already reached the position of a concubine, shouldn't you be given a title?
This also shows the emperor's true thoughts, he was not happy to promote the other party.
The Queen Mother showed a satisfied smile on her face, thinking that the Emperor would indeed listen to her.
Thinking of the fact that Shen Meizhuang had no title, he wanted to ask for another reward for her.
After all, sending a favor to the Buddha will make the favor more meaningful.
"emperor........"
"Princess Shen, you are still pregnant, so don't just stand there. Continue singing and dancing."
She had just opened her mouth to say two words when Yongzheng spoke directly, drowning out her voice completely.
Was this intentional or accidental?
The Empress Dowager's face turned stiff, but Yongzheng didn't even glance at her. He just stared at the singing and dancing performance.
It seems that I can see flowers in this monotonous dance.
Although the people below did not hear what the Queen Mother said just now, Su Peisheng and others who were standing nearby and serving her must have heard it.
This is obviously a warning to the Queen Mother. It's okay for you to say it once, but it would be impolite to keep making requests.
Both of them suffered a loss and neither of them made the other happy.
I can only say that they are worthy of being mother and son.
Even though the Empress Dowager always liked to target Yongzheng, Yongzheng looked very hurt.
But in the eyes of the Queen Mother, this eldest son never made her worry for a single day, and she was dissatisfied with everything he did.
Every time we communicate, I get really angry.
So at the following banquet, there was almost no interaction between the two of them.
Apparently, the biggest beneficiary of this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is Shen Meizhuang.
Not only was she praised by the Empress Dowager, she was also promoted to the position of concubine.
On the contrary, the other pregnant woman remained unknown. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Queen Mother disliked her.
That's why I ignored you on purpose.
Otherwise, she is a pregnant concubine, how could he not even show a perfunctory word of concern?
Throughout the entire banquet, Shen Meizhuang's face was flushed with rosy glow, and she didn't even need to drink sour plum soup.
She felt that she could finally surpass Huanbi and no longer have to endure the disappointment and resentment in her heart!
She is obviously a noble lady from a big family and has been carefully brought up since childhood, so how can she be inferior to a maid?
Is it because she is pretty?
Now, with the Queen Mother's appreciation, she could finally hold her head high.
Immersed in joy, Shen Meizhuang did not notice what kind of looks were coming from people around her.
When a person is praised, it is easy to lose sight of the situation around him.
She didn't see An Lingrong staring at her belly in a daze, nor did she see Concubine Hua's mocking look.
Not to mention the envious and jealous looks of Xia Dongchun, Fucha Guiren and others.
As soon as the banquet ended, Yongzheng was the first to leave.
Luo Yao was just a background member today. Apart from having a bit of a sore butt from sitting there, she saw all the expressions of these people.
Knowing that someone is upset now, she wants to send warmth to them now~
........................................
The Hall of Cultivation——
After washing up, Yongzheng dismissed Su Peisheng and others, and lay on the bed, thinking about things with an expressionless face.
Su Peisheng closed the door carefully and didn't dare to say a word.
He turned around and looked at the bright moon like a silver plate in the night sky above his head, and sighed in his heart.
"The emperor has been getting more and more upset lately."
Before he could think more, a cloaked figure came towards him in the dark.
Even the lanterns were not lit, which made him look sneaky.
Su Peisheng frowned, "Who is it!"
Xiao Xiazi hurried forward, but after seeing the other person clearly, she stepped back.
When the man came closer, Su Peisheng could see his face clearly under the hood.
"!!"
He widened his eyes in surprise, "My Lady..."
"Shh!"
Luo Yao raised a finger, then waved at them, asking them to stay away.
"Go back."
As he said that, he pushed the door open and walked in very naturally.
He forced himself to hold back Su Peisheng's words: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
However, Xiao Xiazi next to them was no longer surprised.
Anyway, the emperor didn't say anything, so why should they, a group of eunuchs, worry about it?
inside the house.
Luo Yao tiptoed towards the bed.
There were still two candles in the room, but they were far away from the bed so it didn't affect sleep.
She was wearing flat shoes, so she walked silently and easily reached the dragon bed.
In other words, Yongzheng was a little dazed at the moment and did not notice that there was an extra person in the room.
But he soon realized it because there was a rustling sound coming from outside the curtain.
That's the sound of clothes rubbing against each other!
