Princess Wei was only dubious at first, blaming her husband more for his indiscretions. But when she heard Feng Yuzhen talking behind her back, which was just adding fuel to the fire, Princess Wei felt that this woman was indeed not a simple woman - they said flies could not bite without a hitch.

Damn it, Feng Yuzhen herself isn’t much better.

Just look at her enchanting demeanor and you will know.

Wei seems to be carefree, but she actually has a rough and tumble temperament. Even though she hates Feng Yuzhen deeply, she does not embarrass her face to face. At this time, the more broad-minded she is, the more people will feel that she has been wronged. Only then can she

Get more benefits

As for the two bitches Xia and Feng, she would have to deal with them sooner or later.

Entering the Linzhi Palace, Mrs. Wei guessed what was going on when she saw Jiang Bilan's face, and asked someone to fetch a basin of water for her to smoothen her face. She also advised: "My queen, what is the big hurdle that you can't pass? Why bother yourself?

Carefully injure yourself."

Jiang Bilan cried, "You don't know what they think of me. Everyone treats me as a joke. Feng and Xia teamed up to step on me, and the emperor defended them in every possible way. What do you think this noble concubine deserves?"

mean?"

Wei thought, "You don't want to take it for granted that there are others. There are so many people suffering in the world. They are not satisfied with such fine clothes and fine food. No wonder they have not made any progress in these years."

But she knew Jiang Bilan's temper very well, so she didn't dare to confront her, so she could only follow her wishes, "Okay, cousin. I'm not even angry. Why are you angry? It's us who have been wronged this time, let those bitches get it."

I mean, but the outcome has not yet been determined, so don’t worry, I will never let A Fang go."

But Jiang Bilan was not only angry about this incident. She was more angry at Feng Yuzhen for going behind her back to fight for favors than her cousin fell into the water! What was even more annoying was that usually she wouldn't listen to the emperor no matter how hard she begged, but Xia easily got the emperor to agree.

Feng Yuzhen performed the dance.

She suspected that the two had reached an agreement behind the scenes. Now that Xia was pregnant, she pushed Feng to come out to socialize. If these two people united inside and outside, would there be any room for others to interfere?

She, a concubine in name only, seems to be in a good position, but she is also in a precarious position. If she is not saved, she will be pushed down one day.

"So, you beat her?" Mrs. Wei thought of the scar on Feng Yuzhen's face that she had just seen. It seemed that it was not an accident, but man-made.

Jiang Bilan said bitterly: "This is relatively minor. Such an ignorant whore should be taken to a violent cell and tortured!"

I really can't hold myself back... Wei came here originally to discuss with her how to deal with Xia Tong and Feng Yuzhen, but seeing the situation, it was better to forget it. If Jiang Bilan knew about it, the plan would be even more difficult to carry out.

Of course, this cousin can still be used.

Wei smiled and said: "I think your Majesty may seem cold-hearted, but he is actually a very affectionate and righteous person. But cousin, you have always been proud of your status and don't take the initiative to approach me. How do you know that your Majesty has no intention of you?"

Jiang Bilan said angrily: "I am a noble concubine, how can I imitate those despicable foxes and invite favors?"

Wei advised: "The imperial concubine is also a concubine and the emperor's wife and concubine. You are as cold as ice all day long. She is not a woman, but a god. Do you still want your majesty to ask you to be kind to him?"

After her analysis, Jiang Bilan also felt that her usual approach was wrong. After all, she had already acted like a queen before she took the back seat. Maybe the emperor could only treat her according to the standards of a virtuous queen?

But the status of a queen without heirs is not secure.

Jiang Bilan felt a sudden sense of crisis, grabbed Wei's hand and begged: "Brother and sister, please teach me how to be appreciated by His Majesty?"

Mrs. Wei lifted her up with a smile, thankful that the prey was finally in the nest, "Cousin, don't worry, we are a family, and I am naturally on your side."

In the Qianyuan Hall, Xia Tong was carefully grinding ink for the emperor. This work was arranged for her by the emperor, saying that it would sharpen her character.

Xia Tong didn't understand why the emperor was like this. Wouldn't it be better to be a lively and beloved concubine? She obviously liked the emperor very much.

But Liu Zhang obviously had deeper considerations. He squeezed Xia Tong's soft, boneless hands and sighed: "I originally wanted you to practice calligraphy, but I'm afraid that it will be troublesome and harmful to your eyes, so I'd better wait until you finish giving birth."

talk later."

Xia Tong thought to herself that her calligraphy was not bad, so what could she do to practice? She was more than enough to copy Buddhist scriptures, since the dead could not see her anyway.

Unfortunately, the emperor never tolerated objections to his words, so Xia Tong had no choice but to smile.

Liu Zhang saw that she was a little tired, so he asked her to sit on the brocade tea table to rest, and asked her to bring a bowl of red beans to drink, which was helpful to eliminate edema.

In fact, Xia Tong didn't have much edema, and her wrists and ankles were still slim and slim, and she could even hang a string of bells - thanks again to the magical spiritual spring water.

Liu Zhang looked at her slightly bulging belly under her thick clothes, his eyes thoughtful, "I often hear people say that the tip of the belly gives birth to a boy, and the round belly gives birth to a girl, but you can't tell it clearly."

Xia Tong didn't expect that the emperor would believe in these pseudo-sciences, so he couldn't help but be a little more friendly to this person, "But my mother said that when she gave birth to me, my belly was pointed, but when she was pregnant with my two brothers, it was round and huge. It can be seen that the old saying is not necessarily true."

allow."

Liu Zhang remained silent, "Both men and women are good."

He imagined in his mind the future of being mature and backward. The parents were all handsome people, and of course the children would not be able to see where they would go.

Xia Tong would rather give birth to a boy. First of all, in such a highly centralized feudal society, even in the royal family, women are destined to have a hundred times more hardships than men, and even have to worry about getting married. She does not want to face the pain of separation of flesh and blood;

Secondly, if the first child is a princess and the emperor does not have a prince, her husband's family and her natal family will definitely urge her to have another baby. It will be much easier if it is a boy.

Thinking of the children that the Wei family brought into the palace, Xia Tong couldn't hide her envy, "Princess Wei is a sweetheart, but the prince is really cute and cute. Prince Linjiang is so lucky."

The Wei family's child has just turned two years old. He doesn't speak very fluently yet, and he is staggering when he walks. It can be seen that he is walking towards her clumsily and calling "Mother" in a sweet voice. Xia Tong can't help it.

The motherly spirit was so strong that she rewarded him with two substantial gold ingots.

Liu Zhang said: "She just takes this seriously so that she can coax some money from you!"

Although Linjiang is a vast land with abundant resources, it is not very wealthy. Liu Fang has always been lavish, and Wei's natal family did not give her much dowry, so she naturally had to find ways to save some money for a private house.

The women in the palace were all nominally the aunts of the crown prince Liu Yun. They came here once in a blue moon, so naturally they had to give a big red envelope. Mrs. Wei carried her child around the palace, and her wallet became bulging.

Xia Tong didn't expect that the emperor would not even care about his nephew's face and still be so venomous. He couldn't help laughing at the moment, "I have given birth to a child. It seems that you are not going to reward me?"

The emperor's double-standard nature was fully revealed at this moment, "How is that the same? How noble is my child, not just me, if anyone dares to come empty-handed, I will definitely kick him out."

Xia Tong:……

So domineering but so funny!

While the two were talking, An Ruhai Scorpion came in with a sting and said, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine wishes to see you."

"What's the matter with her?" Liu Zhang frowned.

He felt that Jiang Bilan really didn't appreciate praise. He had clearly told her not to mention this matter, but Jiang Bilan still punished Feng in private. Whether Feng was humiliated or not was none of his business, but was she just venting her anger on King Linjiang?

This is the reason why the emperor does not want to see Jiang's daughter. This family will never learn to distinguish between public and private affairs. In their eyes, those with the Jiang family's blood should all be in the same boat, regardless of the differences between monarch and minister.

An Ruhai said sarcastically: "The imperial concubine has made some soup and wants to present it to your majesty. I wonder if your majesty would like to see it?"

According to him, Concubine Jiang was too smart. Knowing that Xia Jieyu brought soup every day, she followed Dong Shi's example.

However, the cooks in Jiang Bilan's palace were good, and maybe the emperor would like them, so An Ruhai didn't dare to neglect them.

As long as the bottom line was not touched, the emperor still took good care of the Jiang family's face. If he refused even a bowl of soup, Jiang Bilan would turn around and cry to the Queen Mother.

The emperor felt upset after thinking about it, so he pursed his lips to Xia Tong, "Go and see her for me."

Xia Tong:……

Isn't this still perfunctory?

But since the emperor had spoken, Xia Tong had no choice but to obey. She knelt down and followed An Ruhai out with the curtain, already prepared to face Jiang Bilan's rage.

When he saw the person standing at the foot of the steps clearly, Xia Tong's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

It's not that I didn't expect Jiang Bilan to dress up carefully, but... could she have gone in the wrong direction? Jiang Bilan, who was originally dignified and noble, actually wore a light green shirt and skirt today, with goose-yellow tassels hanging on the side, and her cheeks were wiped playfully

The rouge and eye shadow are also shiny, mixed with particles of gold powder - I wonder if it is one of Feng Yuzhen's treasures.

Even her earrings have been replaced with small pieces of coral hanging from her favorite Dongzhu, which jingle as she moves, which is quite provocative.

Perfect fresh girly style.

It is said to be very beautiful, but why does it look so weird on Jiang Bilan... Xia Tong cast a questioning look at An Ruhai.

An Ruhai nodded quietly, saying that he was shocked when he first saw it and thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight!

Really, no matter how old you are, you can do whatever you want. Not only does Jiang Guifei’s outfit not add any points to her, it completely ruins her usual temperament.

But she didn't feel it herself, and she tilted her head and smiled sweetly.

Xia Tong and An Ruhai were both shocked and had goosebumps all over their bodies.

Coincidentally, the emperor noticed that it was unusually quiet outside, so he came out to see what was going on. When he saw Jiang Bilan's face clearly, he quietly retreated back.
