There were slaps outside, and Concubine Xuan yelled not to do anything at first, but after a few hits, she stopped making any sound.
After ten strokes, Cuigu came in to reply.
No one dared to speak. The quiet atmosphere was strange and tense.
"Now that the emperor is worried about the war, what you should do is to share the emperor's worries instead of being jealous here. It is your ability to retain the emperor. If you can't retain the emperor, don't blame others and make a lot of sour and jealous accents. It's wrong to do so. If you follow the palace rules, don't blame me for being rude." Jin Xin glanced at everyone coldly, her tone serious.
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted, saying in unison, "I, my concubine, will obey the Queen's teachings."
"Get up."
Everyone stood up slowly and took their seats.
"Now that the emperor is busy with government affairs and exhausted physically and mentally, it is a good time for you to share your worries. Put your mind where it should be, which is more important than anything else." Jin Xin said again.
"What the Queen said is that when I go back, I will serve the Emperor with all my heart." Concubine Shun hurriedly continued.
"Okay, I'm tired too, you all should go back." Jin Xin said impatiently.
One by one, these women who came later would complain about who had taken advantage of whom, or if they had a quarrel, the queen would have to make a decision on any big issue.
Jin Xin also had a headache.
Concubine Xuan was still kneeling at the door, with tears on her face. She was slapped ten times and the corners of her mouth were broken. She stood upright stubbornly while being kneeled there.
The concubines who went out looked at her kneeling there, and she felt that she had lost all her dignity.
When have you grown so old, have you ever been so embarrassed?
She was demoted, but she refused to accept it.
When the time came, she was helped up and sent back to Yilan Palace.
Jin Xin reported the matter to the emperor about the demotion, but the emperor said nothing. He just said that the queen made the decision, and the matter was not mentioned again.
After Concubine Xuan found out, she couldn't hold back her suppressed emotions and cried.
"The emperor is indeed cruel. He has no sympathy for me at all. The queen demoted me as soon as she asked. What do you think of me?"
As she spoke, she pushed down everything on the table.
"My Lady, don't be angry. If we think of something else, the Emperor will always think of you." Xiao Nan comforted her.
Xuan Bin gritted her teeth, "Wait a minute, how long have I been waiting? If you wait any longer, I will become old and wan."
Xiaonan stopped talking.
Who can control the emperor's will?
Even the queen can't. They all rely on the emperor's wishes to live a good life. It is inevitable that the empress will be angry.
Now that he has been demoted, life is even more difficult.
"Go and deliver a letter to your sister-in-law. Didn't she say that she asked for a folk prescription from a famous doctor? Ask her to send it in." Xuan Bin gritted her teeth.
Pei An was unable to stabilize the situation in Dingzhou and was recalled by the emperor to the capital. The Pei family army was left in Dingzhou, with only some of his followers brought back. He lost the Arrow Camp and the Pei family army one after another. Pei An is now an empty general.
That's why the queen dared to say that she was happy, and the emperor passed away with just one word.
Mrs. Pei has just been diagnosed with a happy pulse, and it was the doctor's prescription that gave her a happy pulse.
Mrs. Pei had previously offered to send her a prescription, but Concubine Xuan didn't want it because she couldn't even see the emperor, so it was useless to bring the prescription.
She didn't miss the pregnancy medicine. She drank it every day, and she felt like the emperor was here and she could get pregnant naturally. The prescription didn't mean much.
But she really can't wait any longer. She hopes to get pregnant in one go.
No matter what, she had to take the initiative. If she could be pregnant with Long Zi, the current dilemma between herself and the Pei family would be nothing.
Xiao Nan hurriedly went to deliver the message.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Pei entered the palace, gave Concubine Xuan a prescription, and also brought some medicinal materials.
As if she had found a treasure, Xuan Bin took the medicine bag and asked again as if to confirm, "Is it really useful?"
"It's useful. I lost the child before, and my health was also very damaged. I haven't been pregnant again for a long time. This Doctor Chen specializes in gynecology and is very capable. I heard that the Qiyuan Marquis Mansion invited him, and the emperor still When the prince was born, Jiang was originally unable to give birth, but she became pregnant again in the end. It should be Dr. Chen's method that helped her."
Mrs. Pei pays a lot of attention to the Jiang family's affairs outside, and also secretly investigates a lot, but it is all information that has already happened and is useless.
Dr. Chen was regarded as a myth by various noble houses. Naturally, many people visited him, and they naturally knew a lot about who he had seen.
Hearing this, Concubine Xuan held the prescription in her hand, full of expectations.
"If it is really useful, Dr. Chen is a hero and I will be rewarded heavily." Xuan Bin said with a smile.
"I will take care of the things outside. Just take care of yourself." Mrs. Pei said.
Xuan Bin nodded and said, "I couldn't hold back this face before, but now I have to let go."
"That's right. If you don't understand a song like this, you will be the one who suffers after all."
As the sister-in-law was talking, it was getting late, so she sent Mrs. Pei out of the palace.
These days, Shun concubine is always with me, but occasionally I will look for other people's brands.
Concubine Xuan couldn't wait for the emperor to turn over the sign, so she practiced sword dancing hard in her palace, planning to perform the dance at the winter solstice.
She also lost face. In the past, she would not have done these things, but now, she had no choice.
Jin Xin knew that she specially invited the dancers from the Jiaofang Division to teach in the palace, and she immediately chuckled.
"She is willing to put down her modesty and learn these things to please the emperor."
Now that the government is stable, the emperor is not as strict with himself as he was in the first few years. He is more about enjoying himself. You can tell by seeing that he almost always asks concubines to accompany him. He no longer cares much about how those people record history books.
Maybe it's not necessarily possible for Xuan Bin to make a comeback.
But Jin Xin also knew something. Mrs. Pei gave Concubine Xuan a secret recipe for having a baby, which was from the same doctor as Jiang Yushu.
The prescription must be useful, but the emperor has no use for it.
Jin Xin didn't stop her, so Xuan Bin was full of expectations and doubted life again.
If you can't get pregnant every time, it will be even more uncomfortable.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to let her confront Shunbi, lest Shunbi become the dominant one and it would be bad if she becomes too ambitious.
On the winter solstice, the emperor held a banquet in Qionghua Palace.
This palace full of women is extremely lively.
When they were halfway through the meal, Concubine Xuan appeared from the side, wearing a red dress and flipping into the palace. White mist slowly emerged from the ground, making Concubine Xuan look like a fairy in a painting, with a light body, strong and soft, and active. In the white mist.
"Is this the consort Xuan?" the emperor asked curiously.
The figure danced so fast that he couldn't really see it clearly.
"Exactly, Xuan Bin seems to have lost a lot of weight. I think it was because she was going to dance for the emperor today. Xuan Bin really put her heart into it."
Not to mention, Xuan Bin is really good at this dance. Perhaps because she has martial arts skills, she is also very good at learning this dance.
Jin Xin looked at the man next to her. He looked at the dance in the audience with great appreciation.
The mist fills the air and red clothes fly. This scene is really intoxicating.
Xuan Bin did succeed.
