Chapter 413: Willing to Die for Concubine Rou
"Show the Palace of Nourishing Heart!"
Hearing Li Changde's voice, Ruoli curled her lips and said, "Fortunately, His Majesty is not going to the Yanxi Palace."
"Otherwise, His Majesty would have given the eldest princess to her to raise and favored her, and Concubine Xue would have been so proud!"
Concubine Liang sighed, "Okay."
"Now that things have come to this, please stop talking."
Ruoli lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I am just speaking up for you. In terms of position and seniority, how are you not better than Concubine Xue? Your Majesty actually chose her to be the foster mother of the second princess..."
"Fortunately, you still have the power of the six palaces in your hands, otherwise this time we would have lost everything."
"I just don't understand why you don't just give Concubine Xue some non-lethal poison? This way it won't cause too much trouble. If she falls ill, she won't be able to raise the second princess."
Concubine Liang chanted "Amitabha" and shook her head: "What did I teach you? Don't do evil. How could you have such a vicious idea?"
"Besides... everyone in the palace knows that I and Concubine Xue are competing for the Second Princess. If she is poisoned now, wouldn't I become the most suspicious person?"
Ruoli snorted coldly: "Okay..."
"The second princess is a sickly child. We don't know if she can survive. If she dies in the Yanxi Palace, let's see how Concubine Xue will end up!"
……
Pear Blossom Pavilion.
When Concubine Zhou heard the news, she hugged the Second Princess and cried with joy: "My daughter, mother has finally found a good place for you. You can stay by mother's side until the full moon, and follow Concubine Xue in the future, and your life will be smooth!"
And she... needs to take good care of herself and take good care of her body.
Only when you have the strength can you do the unfinished task...
……
Yanxi Palace.
Yu Mei hadn't seen such a brilliant smile on the queen's face for many years, and she was also infected: "Queen, this is so great!"
"You won't be lonely anymore with the Second Princess by your side."
Concubine Xue smiled, like a blooming plum blossom: "Is the Second Princess' room ready? A drum, a cradle... Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"
Yu Mei lowered her head and smiled: "My queen, don't worry, everything is ready, just waiting for the second princess to come."
Concubine Xue said gratefully, "I alone cannot defeat Concubine Liang. This time, I am grateful to Concubine Rou for speaking up for me."
"Where are the clothes I made for the heir last time? Take them out quickly. I want to deliver them to Zhongcui Palace myself."
Yu Mei said: "Yes!"
Xuepin walked to the door and suddenly stopped: "No..."
"Liang Fei is an old fox. If I go to give a thank-you gift to Concubine Rou at this time, she will definitely know that Concubine Rou helped me in the matter of the Second Princess."
"Empress Rou is about to give birth, and I cannot let Concubine Liang bear a grudge against her and cause trouble for her."
"Have someone quietly deliver these clothes over, and tell them to wait for a few days before I personally go over to see you."
Yu Mei bowed and said, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful. I will do it right away!"
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Looking at the bundle of clothes in front of her, Nanny Lin sighed, "This soft material, the fine stitching, it's obvious that Concubine Xue put a lot of effort into it."
"Empress Xuepin may look cold, but she really loves children. The second princess is lucky to follow her."
Fuqiu said: "Not only that!"
"Just like last time, the clothes that Concubine Xue sent this time include clothes for both boys and girls. She was really thoughtful."
"And with so many clothes, she must have started making them a long time ago. Concubine Xue really likes children!"
Shen Zhinian said in a gentle voice: "Let Doctor Tang check it and put it in the warehouse."
"Yes!"
Shen Zhinian looked at Xiao Mingzi: "Although the reason His Majesty announced to the public was that Concubine Liang was busy managing the six palaces and was poisoned some time ago and has not fully recovered, so he asked Concubine Xue to be the second princess's adoptive mother."
"But no matter what, one of the four concubines actually lost to a concubine. Concubine Liang lost face after all. I am not sure if she will do anything secretly."
"Xiao Mingzi, have someone keep an eye on Changchun Palace these days."
Xiao Mingzi said "yes" and went to do it immediately.
I never thought that I would meet Chu Xiyan on the road to the palace.
"Xi Yan——"
Hearing someone calling her, Chu Xiyan stopped.
Seeing that it was Xiao Mingzi, she immediately showed a smile of surprise on her face: "Eunuch Ming, why is it you?"
Seeing that she was holding several scrolls in her hands, Xiao Mingzi asked, "Are you busy now?"
Chu Xiyan shook her head: "Not busy."
"Does Eunuch Ming have any instructions?"
Xiao Mingzi took Chu Xiyan to a deserted corner and talked to her: "...I heard that you often go in and out of Yongshou Palace these days?"
"Since you have already expressed your loyalty to Concubine Rou, why do you still need to... go to Concubine Gui to show your courtesy?"
After all, no matter how good Chu Xiyan's painting skills are, she is just a little girl. How could it be possible for her to gain a high status in Ruyi Pavilion so easily?
It was because Concubine Rou secretly gave orders that she was treated with so many courtesies.
It would be unkind of you to try to please the people of Yongshou Palace after you board the ship of Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Mingzi only gave a few suggestions because he saw that Chu Xiyan was young.
Chu Xiyan lowered her head and said in fear: "Eunuch Ming, you misunderstood..."
"I didn't mean to please the Imperial Concubine. It was the Imperial Concubine who thought my paintings were good and asked me to paint for the eldest princess from time to time to record her growth."
"I still say the same thing. I am willing to die for Concubine Rou! I am also willing to... pay attention to the affairs of Yongshou Palace for Concubine Rou!"
Xiao Mingzi looked at Chu Xiyan, but didn't completely believe her words: "That's it for now. Go and get busy."
"Yes. I'll take my leave!"
After Xiao Mingzi finished his work, he returned to Zhongcui Palace and reported to Shen Zhinian what had just happened.
Handan stood beside Shen Zhinian, fanning herself, and asked curiously, "Madam, can you trust the little palace maid named Xiyan?"
A dark light flashed in Shen Zhinian's eyes: "Whether it is credible or not, it is still uncertain. But the imperial concubine is not someone who is easy to get along with. She is so young, yet she has become a celebrity in Yongshou Palace and is deeply loved by the eldest princess. This is not simple."
"Xiao Mingzi, keep an eye on her first. If you need her in the future, then make plans."
Xiao Mingzi bowed and said, "Yes!"
……
Chengqian Palace.
Concubine De stood in front of the mirror, looked carefully countless times, and finally showed a satisfied smile!
"Not bad!"
As expected, the makeup artist she had carefully selected from outside the palace had a magical makeup technique. After applying it with some bottles and jars, her nose didn't look crooked at all!
It’s just… you can’t stay outside for too long in the summer, otherwise the makeup will wear off and your true colors will be revealed…
Concubine De looked at the makeup lady and asked, "Is there any way to make this makeup last longer?"
