When the news of the seventh princess's death spread back to the palace, Jin Xin knew that she only had someone confirm her identity, and then she was hastily buried.
Let her and Concubine Chen be buried in the same mausoleum outside the imperial mausoleum.
Both mother and daughter were sinners and were originally unworthy, but for the sake of the emperor's reputation, they were given some dignity.
After winter, Gu Zhao led his army to the border. Before the men and horses arrived, food and grass went ahead. The Chinese army pressed on the border, and the Tatar civil strife was serious. He urgently sent troops to resist, but they could not resist the menacing army. Gu Zhao won the first battle.
The emperor was very happy when he heard the news.
When I came to Kunning Palace, all the concubines were there.
The concubines stood up and saluted, and watched the emperor take his seat.
After the emperor sat down, he glanced around. He didn't see the person he wanted to see, and then he looked away.
Jin Xin knew that he wanted to see Guan Jiaojiao.
After Guan Jiaojiao entered the palace, Jin Xin gave her time to think. When she felt it was time to sleep with her, she went back to him and asked the guest room to send a sign.
But it's been almost a month since she entered the palace, and she hasn't responded yet. At first she said she hadn't gotten used to it yet, and then she said something was wrong with her. She said she had caught a cold in the past two days.
The emperor didn't take the initiative to ask, but more than half a month had passed and there was still no sign, so he couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
Jin Xin replied truthfully, and he was slightly disappointed.
However, he didn't go to see Guan Jiaojiao. When he came to Kunning Palace at this time today, he already knew his intention.
But Guan Jiaojiao excused herself from illness and didn't come to say hello. Jin Xin also spared her the need to say hello and asked her to have a good rest.
She almost never went out and saw no one.
Therefore, since she entered the palace, she has not officially met the concubines.
Privately, Concubine Xuan sent something, but Guan Jiaojiao also understood the situation in the palace before entering the palace, so she declined Concubine Xuan's kindness.
Concubine Xuan was rejected, so she was naturally dissatisfied.
"General Gu's victory in the first battle is a happy event. I am in a good mood. I will hold a banquet at Qionghua Palace tomorrow and no one will be left behind." The emperor smiled.
"Thank you, my concubine." All the concubines quickly stood up and responded.
"However, I'm afraid Shunbi won't be able to go. The imperial doctor came back this morning and told her that her cold has worsened and it's not appropriate to see her again," Jin Xin said.
When the emperor heard this, he was disappointed again and said, "Send two more doctors to see what's going on. What one doctor says may not be accurate."
"The one who was sent was Dr. Wen, and Concubine Shun is from the south. She is not used to the feng shui of the capital. It is normal for it to take some time to adapt." Jin Xin said warmly.
"The Queen is indeed very courteous to others. Maybe it's just that Concubine Shun doesn't want to deal with us. Many sisters in the palace are from the south, and no one said they can't get used to it." Concubine Xuan said slightly dissatisfied.
She went well and was rejected. Naturally, Concubine Xuan had to provoke the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, his expression turned gloomy.
Is it true that Shun concubine is not willing to serve herself?
"Shunbi is young and left home suddenly. It's normal for her not to adapt." Jin Xin said calmly.
"But I heard that she was planning to get married in her hometown in Suzhou. Could it be that she doesn't want to serve the emperor because of her fiancée?" Concubine Xuan asked again.
This time, the emperor's face became even darker.
But he stared at Concubine Xuan and said displeasedly, "Concubine Xuan, you are quite talkative these days. Didn't you just copy the Buddhist scriptures a few days ago? You should copy the Jingxin Sutra again."
After hearing this, Concubine Xuan turned pale and said, "I just finished copying the Buddhist scriptures a few days ago, and my hands are still hurting."
"Then go to the imperial doctor and get some medicine." The emperor showed no mercy.
Concubine Lan took the handkerchief and slightly covered her face, just enough to cover her mouth that couldn't help but move up.
The emperor was already thinking about Guan Jiaojiao. Although Concubine Xuan wanted to stir up the emperor's enthusiasm for Guan Jiaojiao, she said the wrong thing.
Isn't it possible that the emperor is not as good as that reckless warrior who is a fifth-rank official?
This is an insult to the emperor.
Concubine Xuan saw that the emperor was angry, and immediately knew that she had made the emperor angry, so she did not dare to speak again.
Not seeing the person he wanted to see, the emperor was not in the mood anymore. After chatting some irrelevant words, he went out again.
After the emperor left, Concubine Fang couldn't help but ridiculed Concubine Xuan again.
"Some people really lose the last straw by trying to please others. They want the emperor to punish them, but they are punished by the emperor in the end. It's really funny."
Concubine Xuan glared at Concubine Fang, "You're still talking about me. If the Liu family spends so much money to support the front line, the emperor will be restored to his throne, but he went to your palace? I'm afraid the emperor didn't even look at you, right?"
Concubine Fang snorted, "Concubine is incompetent. The Emperor didn't read the brand, but why didn't the Emperor turn to Concubine Xuan? Oh, by the way, all the abortion pills in the Imperial Hospital are prepared for Concubine Xuan, right? I'm afraid Concubine Xuan is stupid. Wait for the emperor to come to your palace."
"If you don't act like this, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!" Concubine Xuan suddenly stood up, as if she really wanted to take action.
"Concubine Xuan, pay attention to your identity, you won't make anyone laugh." Jin Xin reminded.
Since Fang Concubine was restored to the throne, and the Liu family has contributed a lot, the emperor has been very fond of Fang Concubine. Although he has not turned over, he at least goes to sit with her from time to time.
Concubine Fang hated Concubine Xuan deeply. If she hadn't brought Qiao'er into the palace and framed Jin Xin, she would have stayed true to her duties and been a noble person, waiting for the emperor to think of the Liu family again, and she wouldn't have suffered. So many sins.
If she hadn't been relegated to the cold palace, with the Liu family's contribution, she would not be unworthy of becoming a concubine.
But because she was in the cold palace, her family had to deal with her affairs, making compromises again and again, and the emperor suppressed her. It can be said that her days in the cold palace were hard day and night, and she was even lower than a slave.
She and Concubine Xuan must fight to the death.
Jin Xin was happy to see them fighting like this.
In the evening, Jin Xin went to see Shun Concubine. When she heard the noise, she quickly climbed onto the bed, took off her clothes in a hurry, and lay down. However, she moved so quickly that the hem of her skirt was not completely covered.
Xiaohui wanted to step forward to help, but the queen came in at this time, so she had to kneel down and salute.
Concubine Shun pretended to stand up, and Jin Xin immediately raised her hand and said, "Goodbye, so as not to get too windy, just lie down properly."
"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration." Concubine Shun said obediently and gratefully.
Jin Xin saw that she had a good face and saw the skirt on the bed. She didn't look like a sick person. Jin Xin knew what she meant and didn't expose her.
"It's been more than half a month since you entered the palace. How are you getting used to it?"
Concubine Shun smiled bitterly, "It's very cold in the palace, and I really haven't gotten used to it yet."
The implication is that he doesn't want to sleep with him yet.
"You have to adapt. Don't you want your family to be proud of you?" Jin Xin asked.
Jin Xin also considered the future of her concubine. If she continued like this, sooner or later the emperor would doubt her thoughts. If he paid attention to her thoughts in the future, Gu Zhao would be implicated by her.
Everyone has entered the palace, so we can only take one step forward and walk the rest of the way.
I never heard that the concubine would be sent out of the palace to marry someone else after entering the palace.
It may be possible for others, but it is absolutely impossible for concubines.
