"Congratulations on your pregnancy, and congratulations on your promotion! Good things come in pairs!" Guan Ling arrived at Yonghe Palace. Xiangzhu and Concubine Yu were playing with Yongqi in the courtyard.
"Greetings to Consort Yu and Consort Shun.”Guan Ling bowed.
"Aiya, we still have to wait until New Year's Eve to confer the title!”Xiang Zhu said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. The emperor said that you are Consort Shun.”Consort Yu said. At this time, Yongqi wanted to go to the imperial garden, so Consort Yu had to go.
"Farewell Consort Yu." Xiang Zhu and Guan Ling bowed.
"Let's talk inside." Xiang Zhu pulled Guan Ling into the house.
"Sister is really lucky to be pregnant so quickly.”Guan Ling's words were a little sour.
Xiangzhu was immersed in her own happiness and didn't hear it, she replied,"That's right. Next month, BenGong will be moving to Scenic Yang Palace. Yongqi, this child, knows how to make a fuss!"
Guan Ling's heart tightened as she pursed her lips and said,"But if I go to Scenic Yang Palace, I'll have to see Chen Ruoqin every day. Isn't he more annoying than Fifth Prince?"
Xiang Zhu turned to Guan Ling and asked,"Sister, you've become more sensible." Why did he hate Chen Ruoqin so much? She doesn't want to go against us, so why bother? Moreover, Bengong is pregnant, if anything happens, she will not be able to get away with it. Younger Sister can rest assured.”
Guan Ling hated Zhi Ran, so she was thinking about how to get rid of Zhi Ran's good sisters. Seeing Guan Ling remain silent, Xiang Zhu sighed,"Good little sister, big sister doesn't have such thoughts anymore. Right now, the most important thing for her sister was to take care of her pregnancy. As for other things, she was not busy.”
"In that case, Younger Sister will not disturb you any further.”Guan Ling knew that she was bored and left.
"Zhen thought that it would be a long time since I came to see you. A few days ago, the court was busy, so Zhen went to Yi Kun Palace to listen to Concubine Dun sing and dance.”The Emperor sat on the bed and looked at Zhi Ran." There's nothing urgent now, so I came to see you more often." I can only enjoy reading poems with you. The other concubines don't know these.”
Zhi Ran smiled as she picked up the ginseng tea from the table and placed it beside the Emperor. She sat down and said,"ChenQie is not the only one who knows poetry. Doesn't Imperial Concubine Xian also like it?”
"She does like it, but she doesn't have a deep understanding of it. Compared to you, she's far inferior.”The Emperor took a sip of ginseng tea and said," It's winter now. You have to take care of your health." I heard that a few days ago, the Jiangnan Palace sent a few bolts of new satin, so I'll reward you with making clothes.”
"Thank you, Emperor." Zhi Ran bowed and thanked him." Your Majesty is tired. ChenQie will play a song for you."”
"You actually know how to play?" The Emperor was shocked.
Zhi Ran smiled and sat in front of the zither, playing it gently. The strings were melodious, and the zither was melodious. After the song, the emperor asked drunkenly,"I didn't know Ran 'er could play such a beautiful zither." I'll let you play a song at this year's New Year's Eve banquet!”Zhi Ran agreed.
The next morning, after Zhi Ran finished serving the Emperor, she saluted and sent him off.
"The song Master played last night was really nice, why don't I see Master playing it normally?”Fei Xing asked.
Zhi Ran sat down and said,"I didn't want to play in the past because I was afraid of making people jealous. I thought that if I read enough poetry and books, I would be more beautiful." But the emperor's words last night reminded me.”
"What words?"
"The Emperor said that he went to Concubine Dun's palace a few days ago because he was busy with court affairs. He went to Concubine Dun's place to listen to songs and appreciate dances, so his fatigue lessened a lot. Since ancient times, it was said that 'a woman without talent is virtuous.' Thinking about it carefully, it was really true. The emperor is tired, so he naturally needs to pass the time. It will only make the emperor more annoyed."
"Master is right." Water Deity came in with breakfast." Now that Master is full of poetry and music, the Emperor will definitely be overjoyed!”Zhi Ran smiled and shook her head. After breakfast, Zhi Ran went to the imperial garden for a walk. However, the sky was not beautiful. The first snow of winter actually rose.
"Master, it's better not to go. It's snowing outside, it's better to stay in the house.”Water Deity advised.
"BenGong is going to the Imperial Garden because of this snow. Just hold the umbrella. Fei Xing, give the heater to bengong.”Fei Xing passed the heater to Zhi Ran and helped her put on a cloak.
"Master, the road is slippery in the snow, be careful.”Narcissus helped Zhi Ran to the imperial garden.
"Master, you see, this imperial garden has lost its liveliness even in winter, so why not go back?”Water Deity looked at the umbrella as she supported Zhi Ran.
"Yes, but did you see that pine tree? When everything withered, only the pine and cypress trees stood proudly. The white snow in winter could not cover their green integrity.”
"Zhen said that your views are different." Zhi Ran turned around and saw the Emperor standing behind her. She quickly knelt down,"The emperor is lucky."
"Get up." The Emperor smiled at her.
"Why does the emperor always stand behind ChenQie without warning and eavesdrop on ChenQie's words?”Zhi Ran lowered her head and said.
"Zhen happened to be going to Consort Shun's place to tell her that the golden scrolls and treasures were already made. When I passed by the imperial garden, I met you.”
Hearing that the Emperor was going to Xiang Zhu's place, Zhi Ran smiled lightly and said,"Since we coincidentally met, ChenQie can't say anything. The emperor should quickly go to Consort Shun's place, otherwise Consort Shun will be anxious.”
The Emperor looked at her and said,"Then you should go back. In this snowy weather, don't only care about the pine and cypress but not your own body."”After saying that, he got up and left. Zhi Ran bowed and sent him off.
The weather became even colder as the twelfth lunar month arrived. After Xiang Zhu's coronation ceremony, she officially moved to Scenic Yang Palace. In order to avoid meeting Guan Ling, Ruo Qin stayed in the room as much as possible every day and rarely went to Zhi Ran's place. Zhi Ran also did not like to go out. She was lazy in the house all day and always slept a few times a day.
"Master, it's time to eat." Fei Xing called out softly.
Zhi Ran slowly sat up. Little Wei came in and reported,""Master, Imperial Physician Wei has come to ask for Ping An's pulse.”
"Tell him to wait outside." After Zhi Ran finished dressing up, Wei Xuanyun entered the house.
After checking his pulse, Wei Xuanyun asked,"Has your noble been lazy these days?"”
Zhi Ran yawned and nodded.
"I'm afraid your period is coming soon, right?”
With this question, Zhi Ran shivered and asked,"Could it be that this Queen…"
"Congratulations, you are a month pregnant.”When Zhi Ran heard this news, she was overjoyed.
"This lowly official will prescribe you a few medicines to stabilize your pregnancy.”
"This palace master thought that Dong Ri was lazy, so it was this!”Zhi Ran smiled as she looked at Fei Xing.
Very quickly, the news of Zhi Ran's pregnancy was made known to the entire harem. The Emperor was naturally the happiest and immediately rushed over from Yangxin Palace Hall with a memorial. This pregnancy had caused Guan Ling no peace.
"Even Luo Zhiran is pregnant! What should we do?" Guan Ling was so anxious that she paced around Yi Kun Palace,"BenGong really hates her!"”Thinking about it, Zhi Ran had always been favored. This time, she would definitely be made a concubine. That would mean that she would be on equal footing with Guan Ling. This would be even harder to deal with.
"Yuan Qing, a noble of the Jin Dynasty, is the concubine of the Palace Lord of Yanxi.”The Emperor decreed. "Many thanks, Your Majesty." Zhi Ran bowed. The Emperor helped Zhi Ran up and said with a smile,"In the future, you don't have to bow. Zhen wants you to protect the child in your stomach."”Zhi Ran smiled coquettishly and asked,"Does the emperor like elder brother or princess?"”
"Whether it's elder brother or princess, as long as it's your child, zhen will like it. I just want all of you to be safe.”
"ChenQie obeys the decree." Zhi Ran returned the greeting with a smile.
"Alright, zhen still has to go back to Yangxin Palace Hall to review the memorials. Rest well, zhen will come to see you later.”
"ChenQie respectfully sends off the Emperor."
After Zhi Ran sent the Emperor off, she walked back to the palace and sat down. Water Deity, Fei Xing, Little Wei Zi, and Little Shun Zi all knelt down. " What are you doing?!" Zhi Ran looked at them in surprise. "Congratulations, Master!" They replied in unison. "Why are you guys like this too?!" Zhi Ran said with a smile. Get up quickly, we're all on the same side, don't be like this!”
Everyone stood up. Water Deity said to Zhi Ran,""Now this servant will have to change to call you 'niangniang!'”
"Goddess, peace!" The group of people bowed again.
"Alright! Get up quickly!" Zhi Ran said with a smile.
At this moment, Yuan Qing entered the room and bowed.""Greetings, Your Concubine. Niangniang, the emperor has ordered this servant to deliver the jewelry.”Yuan Qing called out, and the eunuchs carried in a box of jewelry. There were so many that they couldn't even count them.
"Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch. Tell the emperor that I will go and thank him another day.”
“嗻。”
After Yuan Qing left, Water Deity and Fei Xing carefully counted the jewelry. "Niangniang, there really are a lot of things! Look, but this jade bracelet is extremely rare. This kind of jade is called violet jade. Usually, jade was mainly green, but this kind of jade was purple, which showed how precious it was.”Water Deity said.
"Yes, this kind of thing only exists in the Western Regions. Only the Empress had the bracelet, and Imperial Concubine Xian only had a pair of earrings!”Fei Xing added. Zhi Ran smiled and lowered her head, putting the jade on her hand.
"Niangniang, Noble Ming is here." Little Wei came to report.
"Please."
"Sister, sister hasn't come to see you for a long time!”Ruoqin pulled Zhi Ran's hand the moment she entered the door and said," When your child is born, you must acknowledge me as your godmother!”Ruoqin gently caressed Zhi Ran's belly. Zhi Ran smiled and said,"Little sister likes children, so you can have one yourself."”
However, what Zhi Ran did not notice was that Ruoqin's face had a trace of sadness. "Big Sister makes it sound so easy, but I'm afraid Little Sister doesn't have such good fortune.”Zhi Ran heard Ruoqin's unnatural tone. Zhi Ran wanted to say something, but Ruoqin immediately said,""The emperor really dotes on elder sister. Just the jewelry alone is rewarded so much. Everyone says that they are saving money now, but elder sister has not lost a single bit!”
Ruoqin's words made Zhi Ran a little uncomfortable. She looked at the jewelry and smiled gently."If you put it this way, sister is really extravagant. His younger sister could see if there was any jewelry that she liked and just take it.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 31PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
