This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 222 Saving Fuzi from the Water and Fire

Now, he had to live in this small and shabby Qixiang Palace and be tortured by Concubine Li.

Ling Xiang was living well alone in Zhongcui Palace, and she was pregnant again.

Ling Xiang felt that if she could give birth to a prince, it would be the first prince since the emperor ascended the throne. As a mother, she would be honored by having a son, and it would not be long before she became the mistress of Zhongcui Palace.

But Concubine Li actually begged the Queen to let her move to Qixiang Palace to keep her company.

Don’t you know what Lipin’s idea is?

When she was working in the Yiku Palace, she heard that Concubine Li drank three bowls of pregnancy medicine a day in order to get pregnant.

After trying for so long, there was no sign of movement from Lipin, so naturally she was eyeing her belly.

She didn't dare to take action against the children of Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui, but as a lowly official, she could be manipulated by her.

Before moving to the palace, Concubine Li had specially brought some supplements to visit me in Zhongcui Palace, and her words were full of the intention to make friends with me.

At that time, Ling Xiang really thought that she could form an alliance with Concubine Li.

Who would have thought that as soon as Concubine Li left Zhongcui Palace, she went to Jingren Palace to request an audience with the Queen Mother.

Lipin said that she and I hit it off right away and felt very close during our chat, so she wanted to invite me to live with her.

Later, the Queen Mother ordered her to move to Qixiang Palace.

Lipin took the opportunity that the west wing hall was where Concubine Cao lived in the past and it was unlucky, so she moved to the remote east wing hall of Qixiang Palace.

What she didn't expect was that after she moved into Qixiang Palace, Concubine Li actually asked her to go to the main hall every day to set rules.

It is only natural to agree to serve the mistress of a palace, and no one can find fault with it.

Even if you are pregnant, you must not violate etiquette.

No one visited Qixiang Palace on weekdays. Lipin only pretended to be gentle and virtuous in front of the Queen, saying that she was considering everything for herself. It was inconvenient for her to live alone in Zhongcui Palace, and there was no one to take care of her. Lipin was really worried about Lingxiang.

But once the gate of Qixiang Palace was closed, even though she was pregnant, she still had to follow the rules for a single day.

Ling Xiang knew that Lipin was taking this opportunity to torture her to show her goodwill to Huafei.

Lipin is a mean person who is treacherous. I will make her suffer when I give birth to a prince.

Before she gave birth to a prince, another woman in the harem became pregnant. However, she was already made a concubine after being pregnant for more than a month.

If it weren't for that damn girl Linglong, I wouldn't be in this situation now.

Since moving to Qixiang Palace, the emperor has never come to see me once.

Although the emperor did not blame himself for Linglong's infection with the epidemic because of the child in his belly, he still felt estranged from himself in his heart.

Otherwise, because of the child in my belly, I should be a noble person now.

Because Concubine Hui only gave birth to a princess, she was directly promoted to Concubine, skipping the position of concubine. Concubine Wan was promoted to concubine one month after she became pregnant.

If Linglong's incident hadn't happened, and if Dingxiang hadn't come to blame me, it wouldn't have been impossible for me to be granted the title of noble lady, bypassing the rank of concubine, based on my relationship with the emperor.

But now I am pregnant and can't dance, so how can I coax the emperor to come over?

Ling Xiang was pondering in the dimly lit east wing hall, her eyes unconsciously falling on Fu Zi who was standing quietly beside her.

Ever since Fuzi came to Lingxiang's side, she has been like a wooden man, with the same expression all day long. Even if Lingxiang beats and scolds her, she would endure the pain with a frown and would not reveal a word to outsiders.

Fu Zi was a person who betrayed the Queen and was not welcomed by Concubine Hua.

Ling Xiang felt that by asking her to come over, she was saving Fu Zi from danger. If Fu Zi was willing to help her win favor at this time, it would be considered as repaying her for asking Fu Zi to come out of Yikun Palace.

Before Ling Xiang could finish her thought, Fu Zi walked out with the teapot.

"I haven't let you out yet, where are you going?"

"There's no more tea. Didn't the young master want some tea just now?"

Fuzi said this calmly at the door and walked out.

Forget it, this dead face, so cold, I’m afraid even if it’s sent to the emperor’s bed, the emperor may not even want it.

I should just bear with it for now. Life will be better once I give birth to the baby.

Ling Xiang grabbed the pastries on the table to fill her stomach. Although the accommodation arranged by Lipin for her was not good, she did not treat herself badly in terms of food.

You can eat as much fruits and snacks as you want, and there is never a shortage of them.

No matter what you treat unfairly, you must not treat the baby in your belly unfairly.

Ling Xiang unconsciously ate up the plate of sweet snacks mixed with milk on the low table.

After eating, I took a nap, got up for lunch, and ate a whole bowl of greasy chicken soup.

Fuzi felt nauseous just looking at the chicken soup with chicken fat floating on it, but Lingxiang ate it with special sweetness.

After lunch, Lipin would take a nap and would not ask Lingxiang to stand in line. Lingxiang would usually sleep until dinner time.

Ling Xiang has been following this routine since entering Qixiang Palace.

Fuzi never dissuaded her. To her, if Lingxiang could sleep a little longer, she would have to suffer less.

Your Majesty, this time Fuzi has lived up to your trust.

The two masters, one big and one small, in Qixiang Palace, did not make any other noise except listening to the news of Zhen Huan being promoted to concubine and smashing two teacups to vent their anger.

Concubine Hui took Jinghe directly to Suiyuxuan to congratulate Zhen Huan.

However, Zhen Huan told Shen Meiyu that she was afraid that being favored too much would attract the attention of the other palace maids.

The Queen Mother issued the decree so quickly, which might be an intention to make herself the target of public criticism in the harem.

Shen Meizhuang held Zhen Huan's hand and said gently, "The situation in the six palaces is not leading to the Queen. Although Hua Fei is openly neutral, she is always helping us secretly. Even if it is to fight against the Queen, Hua Fei will protect you and the baby in your belly."

"As for Concubine Qi, I think she is also a soft-hearted person. Concubine Jing and I are no exception. Just relax."

"And Concubine Xin, even though she usually joins in all the fun, she is the one who least cares about the fights among the six palaces."

"You advised me to take good care of the baby and worry less. How come you can't do it now that it's your turn?"

"Now that my sister has taken the throne of a concubine, her eloquence has become even better. I only said one sentence, and you have so many sentences waiting for me." Zhen Huan tucked her chin in and smiled slightly.

"This is how you and Lingrong treated me when I was pregnant. I will treat you the same way." Shen Meizhuang said with a smile.

"Speaking of Ling Rong, we haven't seen her for a long time. We should think of a way to rescue her."

Zhen Huan really wanted to thank An Lingrong in person for helping her find the problem with the quilt that day. If it weren't for Lingrong, she wouldn't have been able to get pregnant as she wished.
