Chapter 291: Failed to snatch someone
Xie Yu paused again, then looked at Sun Shunyi who was standing there with red eyes, not daring to say anything.
The next second, Xie Yu said in a deep voice to the outside, "Send someone to invite the imperial physician, and ask the imperial physician to go to Ning'an Palace to see Shu Jieyu. I will not go."
Sun Shunyi, who was standing nearby and was already feeling disheartened, suddenly opened her eyes wide with joy when she heard Xie Yu's words.
Didn't the emperor abandon her tonight? Did he stay?
Outside the palace, Gao Cheng agreed and turned around to send away the palace maid from Ning'an Palace who came to invite people.
In the dormitory
Xie Yu looked at Sun Shunyi and said in a deep voice, "Rou'er, you are an old man in the palace. You have followed me for many years. I still value you. Go to sleep."
Sun Shunyi had followed Xie Yu for many years, so she knew that there was not much sincerity in what he said.
But she really loves the emperor. After hearing this, she would rather lie to herself that Xie Yu has her in his heart.
Sun Shunyi respectfully served Xie Yu to bed, but Xie Yu only asked for water once and that was it.
But for Sun Shunyi, she was already satisfied just being able to sleep with the emperor.
Ning'an Palace
Qin Shushu got angry when she saw that the palace maid did not invite Xie Yu over.
She slapped the innocent palace maid who was sent to invite Xie Yu twenty times, causing her mouth to bleed and her nose and face to be swollen.
Qin Shushu vented all her emotions on the palace maid, and the noise was so loud that it alarmed Zheng Jin who was in the bedroom next door.
As soon as she came out, she saw the palace maid who had been beaten beyond recognition. Her eyes flashed, then she looked away and walked into Qin Shushu's bedroom with a smile.
Qin Shushu's expression looked better when she saw Zheng Jin coming.
"My sister is here"
According to her position, Qin Shushu should stand up and greet Zheng Jin.
But ever since Qin Shushu became pregnant, she has never greeted Zheng Jin.
Zheng Jin's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, pretending to know nothing, and asked
"Sister, what's wrong? Are you upset by the evil maids serving in the palace? Why are you so angry?"
Qin Shushu snorted and said angrily
"It was tonight that I felt anxious and sent someone to invite the emperor, but the emperor would rather stay at Sun Shunyi's place than accompany me. Isn't the dragon fetus in my belly more important than that unfavored Sun Shunyi?"
Zheng Jin said, "Sister, please be careful with your words and actions. After all, Sun Shunyi has been in the palace for many years, and she naturally has some friendship with the emperor. Why should sister be angry?"
Zheng Jin apparently told Qin Shushu to be careful with her words and actions, but these words directly irritated Qin Shushu.
Qin Shushu had a cold face and looked disdainful.
"What do you mean by having been in the palace for many years? The harem is not based on who has been in the palace for a long time and who is favored. Who is Sun Shunyi? She has been in the palace for many years. It is good enough for the emperor to let her sleep with him once a year. Today, I don't know what happened, but the emperor actually went to her place?"
Zheng Jin sighed in a pretentious manner.
"Yes, didn't the emperor go to Zhonghe Palace tonight, to the Empress' place? How could he suddenly go to Sun Shunyi's place? This is really strange. In this harem, is there anyone who can ask the emperor to leave from the Empress? Unless..."
Zheng Jin stopped there, and sure enough, Qin Shushu heard this.
She immediately said, "Oh, right. The Queen must have seen the Emperor go to Sun Shunyi two days ago. I sent someone to ask the Emperor to leave. The Queen is helping Sun Shunyi to suppress me. That must be the case. The Queen is really insidious. Why? Now that I am pregnant, the Queen does not allow the Emperor to accompany me, but instead lets the Emperor go to Sun Shunyi. Isn't the Queen doing this just to make me unhappy?"
When Zheng Jin heard Qin Shushu say this, he smiled knowingly.
"Sister, you must be overthinking it. You are pregnant now, and you are very precious. Why would the Queen deliberately suppress you? Maybe the Emperor suddenly thought of Sun Shunyi, so he went to her palace. Sister, please don't think too much."
Qin Shushu gritted her teeth
"No, it must be like this. The emperor dotes on the queen so much that he spends two-thirds of the month in the queen's Zhonghe Palace. How could he have gone to the Zhonghe Palace tonight and left halfway? If the queen hadn't interfered, the emperor would never have gone to Sun Shunyi's place. Sun Shunyi has always been out of favor, so why would the emperor leave the Zhonghe Palace for Sun Shunyi?"
Zheng Jin said again, "Sister, I advise you, even if you know that it was the Queen who helped Sun Shunyi, you should still endure it. The Queen cannot be provoked. We are just low-ranking concubines. What can we do to compete with the Queen? We can't win, so just give up."
After a pause, Zheng Jin said helplessly, "Like me, your elder sister, I have no capital to fight with the queen. Unlike you, your sister, you are pregnant. The emperor values his offspring. In the future, as long as you give birth to a prince, your future will be limitless. Sister, you have a lot of capital in the future."
Qin Shushu's eyes lit up and she stroked her belly.
Yes, she still has the baby in her belly to rely on. Even if the queen is favored, she still doesn’t have a prince by her side.
But she has a child. What if she can use this child to make the Queen lose the Emperor's favor?
Zheng Jin looked at Qin Shushu touching her belly without saying anything, and a smug smile flashed across his lips.
That person is right, sometimes, if you want to die before another person, you don’t have to dirty your hands.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife is a good strategy.
Qin Shushu, this idiot, is just like a knife to her as long as she uses him well.
New Year's Eve
Xie Yu first accepted the homage of all officials, and then there was a palace banquet in the evening.
Xie Yu, Lin Junxue, concubines, royal relatives, and important officials of the court
After the banquet, Xie Yu took Lin Junxue away, and the concubines in each palace returned to their own palaces.
Zhonghe Palace
Xie Yu stayed up with Lin Junxue to celebrate the New Year's Eve. According to custom, everyone had to stay up all night on New Year's Eve and could not sleep.
Lin Junxue asked the small kitchen to prepare pastries and midnight snacks.
Hall
Lin Junxue stood in front of the window. It had just started snowing heavily outside.
Xie Yu walked behind Lin Junxue, hugged Lin Junxue in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Junxue turned to look at Xie Yu, smiled slightly, and said softly.
"Your Majesty, I am wondering, will Your Majesty accompany me to watch the snow outside next year?"
Xie Yu paused
"Jun'er, my feelings for you are known to all, not just next year, but every year to come, I will stay with you to celebrate the New Year. You are the queen, my wife, if I don't stay with you, who else can I stay with? Please don't overthink it."
Lin Junxue nodded with a touched look on her face, looking into Xie Yu's eyes, which were filled with his figure.
Xie Yu's heart moved slightly
Lin Junxue: "Your Majesty, I am often afraid sometimes. I am afraid that everything now is unreal. Your Majesty's kindness to me will make me more anxious. I am afraid that sooner or later, Your Majesty will abandon me."
Xie Yu hugged Lin Junxue even tighter
"Jun'er, I promise you that I will never get tired of you, but I want to know, in Jun'er's heart, who is more important, me, the Lin family, or your father and brother?"
