Chapter 197 Final Decision
Chapter 197 Final Decision
Zhen Yurao's eyes were red, but those swollen eyes were full of determination.
Huimin didn't ask her what her final decision was. She just touched her head and said softly:
"Okay, just have a rule in mind."
Huimin looked at Zhen Yurao, whose lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, and smiled slightly.
"As long as it's your decision, Sister Min will support you."
Zhen Yurao was so moved that she grabbed Huimin's sleeve tightly, "Sister Min loves me the most."
Afterwards, Zhen Yurao chatted with Huimin for a while and then returned to Shuiyuxuan.
It was already late at that time, and Hongxi returned excitedly.
"Mother, mother!"
Huimin looked at her cheerful son and asked, "Did you have fun today?"
Hongxi nodded vigorously and laughed:
"It's fun to watch the Queen Mother carve things."
"That big turtle is so majestic."
"Bastard?"
Huimin even suspected that she had heard it wrong.
Unexpectedly, Hongxi immediately affirmed his own mother, "Yes, big turtle, Chao carved a turtle for the queen, it's so big, it's also called turtle."
"When the queen was carving this thing, her expression was very interesting. This turtle is also carved very uniquely."
Huimin understood it as soon as she heard it. Xia Dongchun carved the turtle in anger as a veiled criticism of Zhen Yurao.
That's just her personality. If she's unhappy, she'll just vent it out.
As for Zhen Yurao, Huimin could guess her decision almost exactly based on her expression at the time.
Sure enough, the emperor has been visiting Suiyuxuan quite frequently in the past few days.
Every time he was smiling and very happy.
A few days later, Zhen Yurao appeared again and had become a regular.
Although she did not have a title, she, the daughter of a criminal, was able to be granted the title of a concubine, which showed the emperor's deep love for her and made everyone in the harem sigh.
Huanbi was also conferred the title of concubine by the emperor.
The two sisters joined forces and they became a powerful force.
Moreover, Zhen Yurao is no simple person. The emperor arranged her to live in Yongshou Palace. You know, now she lives alone in Yongshou Palace, but it seems that the emperor loves her very much.
There are only four concubines in the palace who can live alone.
Noble Lady Nian has lived in Yikun Palace since she was still Concubine Hua. With her temper, no one dared to live with her.
Because Concubine Jin was born into a noble family, the Empress Dowager arranged for her to live in Yonghe Palace, which was the residence of the Empress Dowager when she was still Concubine De.
As for Chengqian Palace, that was the residence of Consort Xian, who had two children. Before Prince Hongyao went to the upper study, the two princes lived in the east and west side halls.
Those three people are special, but Zhen Yurao is the most special among the special ones.
This really shows the status of Zhen Yurao in the emperor's heart.
Zhen Changzai first appeared in the harem as a concubine in Xianfu Palace.
Now that the Queen is in name only, routine meetings and greetings are held alternately in Xianfu Palace and Chengqian Palace.
This time it’s our turn to go to Xianfu Palace.
Concubine Jing gave face to Zhen Yurao and spoke nice words.
But some people also dislike Zhen Yurao.
Qipin spoke first:
"Oh, this Concubine Zhen, I heard that she has a bad temper. It's good to have a personality, but don't learn from your sister and do something that offends the superiors."
"And Zhen Changzai, it sounds really awkward. I heard that the emperor was going to give you the title of Wan, but Changzai refused. Isn't that..."
Qipin covered her lips and smiled, but her contemptuous eyes stabbed at Zhen Yurao like a knife.
Zhen Yurao was unmoved and also raised her voice.
"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from heaven. Whatever my temperament is, it's fine as long as the emperor likes it. We are the emperor's concubines, and what we want is the emperor's favor. So what?"
Zhen Yurao glanced at Qipin and said sarcastically:
"Does Concubine Qi mean that I will put your wishes first and ignore the emperor? Or does your majesty mean that you are dissatisfied with the emperor's decision?"
Zhen Yurao's words were very serious and put a big accusation on Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi was speechless for a moment, turned off the fire and kept silent.
But Qipin is not the only one who wants to deal with Zhen Yurao.
Zhang Changzai also spoke up, "Zhen Changzai is really eloquent and good at speaking."
Zhang Changzai is Concubine Jin's person. Concubine Jin won the emperor's favor by imitating Chun Yuan's temperament. That's why she wanted to get rid of Zhen Huan back then. Now that there is Zhen Yurao who is more like Chun Yuan, can Concubine Jin be willing?
Zhang Chang spoke at this time, also trying to figure out what Concubine Jin was thinking.
Besides, Zhang Changzai is pregnant, so Zhen Yurao can't just keep arguing with her. If she gets angry and has a miscarriage, she will be guilty of a serious crime.
Zhen Yurao just smiled slightly, glanced up and down at Zhang Changzai, then turned her head to look at Jinpin with a smile.
But this action made Zhang Changyi angry. Everyone in the palace knew that she was dependent on Concubine Jin, but what did Zhen Yurao mean by this? Didn't she take her seriously at all?
Just as Zhang Changzai was about to speak, Concubine Hui spoke up for Zhen Yurao.
"Mr. Zhang should pay more attention to the dragon fetus," Shen Meizhuang said, turning her head to look at Concubine Jin.
"Jinpin asked the emperor to take care of Zhang Changzai's fetus, but Jinpin herself has never given birth, so I don't know if she can take on this important task. You know, Dragonborn matters cannot be taken lightly."
As she spoke, Shen Meizhuang looked at Concubine Jing with a smile.
"If I were to ask you, Concubine Jing is the main concubine of Zhang Changzai. It would be most convenient for them to live in the same palace together. Besides, you are also raising Princess Longyue, so you have experience. It would be better for Concubine Jing to take care of Zhang Changzai's fetus. According to the rules, it would be convenient to adopt the baby in the future."
When Shen Meizhuang said this, Concubine Jin's face turned dark.
"Don't worry Concubine Hui, I will take good care of Zhang Changzai's baby."
The concubines' attention was attracted by the dragon fetus, and no one paid attention to Zhen Yurao anymore.
Concubine Jin and Concubine Hui were engaged in a verbal battle, and Zhang Changzai was caught in the middle and dared not speak.
Concubine Jing was also annoyed by the noise.
He put down the teacup and said:
"Okay, Concubine Zhen has met all the sisters in the harem. Let's stop here for today."
Afterwards, Huimin was left alone.
"Sister Imperial Concubine Jing," Huimin and other concubines had all left, and she also wanted to discuss some matters in the harem with Imperial Concubine Jing.
"The Emperor has newly appointed two concubines, which is a happy event."
"Yes," Concubine Jing also said with emotion, "New people come in batches after batches, and I don't know how many batches of women in the harem have been replaced."
Seeing her like this, Huimin just said:
"No matter how many groups of people come to the harem, my sister is always respected by the emperor. Those people cannot be compared with my sister."
When Concubine Jing heard Huimin say this, she just smiled faintly.
"I just want to take good care of Longyue."
"But now, Xianfu Palace is in chaos because Concubine Zhang is pregnant. Longyue is restricted from running around, for fear of bumping into the pregnant woman."
"What do you mean, sister?"
Huimin already understood what she meant.
"Zhang Changzai is pregnant and is being looked after by Concubine Jin. It would be more convenient for her to go to Yonghe Palace."
Concubine Jing said calmly that she really didn't want Zhang Changzai to be an eyesore in her anymore.
