Chapter 220 The Queen's Fate Affects the Feng Shui of the Forbidden City
Having said that, Wen Shichu turned around and left Jingren Palace without even waiting for the Queen to say a few more words of tea.
Wen Shichu walked in a hurry and Jiang Fuhai didn't catch up to stop him. The Queen wanted to stop him and told him not to invite Zhang Mi over.
But when Jiang Fuhai walked out, Wen Shichu was no longer visible.
It doesn’t matter. Even if Zhang Mi comes, it won’t delay anything.
The news that Concubine Wan was pregnant spread throughout the palaces in the time it took for a nap.
When Concubine Hua found out, she just raised her eyebrows and didn't have any other reaction.
What she had been waiting for finally came.
Concubine Hua has always been curious whether Concubine Wan will lose her baby in this life.
Even if she didn't let Concubine Wan kneel in the courtyard of Yiku Palace as punishment.
The news that Concubine Wan was pregnant was told by Xin Chang when she brought Ling Long to play in the afternoon.
After Concubine Xin finished speaking, she did not forget to complain about the emperor, saying that he had said something to spoil the fun on such a good day.
"Your Highness, you said that I am also a woman who has given birth to children, and Sister Qi Fei is also a woman who has given birth to children. This emperor is really something. In order to care about Concubine Wan, he wants to praise one and trample on the others."
Xin Changzai's words were like bullets shot out of Linglong's slingshot, one after another.
The key point is that this didn't stop Xin Chang from eating melon seeds.
The melon seeds from the Yikun Palace are all plump and round, and taste really sweet.
"Your Majesty, do you think I am right? I was the first one to notice that Lady Wan was pregnant. If it weren't for me, the Emperor would be so confused..."
Hua Fei stopped Xin Changzai with a look, and Xin Changzai's hands slowed down while she was cracking melon seeds.
"Even in this Yiku Palace, you have to be careful with your words." Concubine Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Your Majesty reminded me of this. I am angry too. There are so many pregnant women in the harem, but Your Majesty still has no experience at all."
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, so naturally he can't pay attention to the details of the harem."
Hua Fei responded lazily, looking at Linglong who was playing with a slingshot nearby. This slingshot was a new toy that Zhou Ninghai bought for Linglong.
Just wait until Linglong gets better and then use it to strengthen the princess' body.
When Concubine Hua saw the rubber band of the slingshot hidden in Zhou Ninghai's arms leaking out, the corners of her mouth twitched speechlessly.
"Princess, you are awesome! You hit the leaf in one go!" Zhou Ninghai applauded.
Hua Fei took a look and saw that Linglong had hit the largest and shortest leaf hanging on the wall.
Hua Fei: Okay, if you say I’m awesome, then I’m awesome.
"Zhou Ninghai, is there any movement in Jingren Palace?" Concubine Hua really couldn't stand Zhou Ninghai's "fawning" look towards Linglong.
Zhou Ninghai listened to the voice and walked over quickly to reply.
"Your Highness, the Queen has sent a white jade statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbearing, and has also asked Imperial Doctor Wen to report back."
After a new year, the price of a sentence for news about Jingren Palace rose to 4 cents.
"The Queen is very virtuous." Xin Chang "praised" while eating melon seeds.
"There's nothing left next to it?"
Zhou Ninghai thought about it, and then recounted to Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin what the young eunuch had just said about Doctor Wen's sudden escape.
Zhou Ninghai felt that those words were worthless. He didn't even understand why Doctor Wen ran away, so he gave the eunuch 20 copper coins to send him away.
The young eunuch was still a little depressed when he left, so he deliberately made up a joke and told it to Eunuch Zhou, but Eunuch Zhou did not pay him according to the joke.
"Oh my, the Queen is so adorable looking so weak and unable to take care of herself~" Xin Chang smacked her lips as she listened to Zhou Ninghai's retelling.
"Oh, it's a pity that the Queen's tea talk may not reach the Emperor's ears." Xin Changzai shook her head and picked up the teacup to take a sip of tea.
The tea in Yikun Palace today is not as fragrant as the tea in Jingren Palace.
Zhou Ninghai didn't understand the double entendre of Xin Changzai. Hua Fei couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard Xin Changzai's unrestrained chatter.
Fortunately, Linglong is also a straightforward person and probably doesn’t understand what Xinchang is saying.
But she had to admit that Xin Changzai was right.
How could a pedantic scholar like Wen Shichu, who was slow to speak and had yet to marry, understand the twists and turns of the women in the harem?
Thinking about the scene of running away, Concubine Hua wanted to laugh.
Well, if the Queen wants to spread the news, I'll lend her a hand.
I had asked Zhou Ninghai to spend money before, and originally wanted Xiao Xiazi to spread some rumors to force the emperor to hold the ceremony of conferring the title of concubine to Shen Meizhuang as soon as possible.
It also saves the emperor from always using the position of imperial concubine as bait to tangle me.
But unexpectedly, the emperor came right after he delivered the message that day.
Then it was natural for Shen Meizhuang to be promoted to concubine and Concubine Duan to be promoted to noble concubine.
There is no need to spread these rumors.
Now I just happen to need the small house again.
After all, the money has been awarded, and Xiao Xiazi cannot not do his job.
So, just one night later, several versions of the news spread among the palace servants.
Young Eunuch A: The Queen has had a chronic illness in the palace for a long time, and now it can no longer be concealed. It is about to relapse, so the Queen is unable to take care of the harem, and the epidemic broke out in the harem.
Young Eunuch B: Who says it's not true? Otherwise, how could the epidemic of Noble Lady Fucha have lasted until now?
Young Eunuch C: Hey, I heard that the Queen got sick because she didn’t like Concubine Wan’s pregnancy.
Young Eunuch Ding: That’s what I heard too. It’s said that the horoscopes of the Empress and Concubine Wan are naturally in conflict, so if Concubine Wan’s feng shui is strong, it will disturb the Empress’ feng shui.
Palace Maid A: That's true. The Queen's head disease has never recurred in all these years. It was only after the Emperor's selection that it started to recur.
Before, Concubine Wan lived in Suiyuxuan, a remote place, so naturally she could not affect the Queen. Now that Concubine Wan is pregnant with the heir, of course things are different.
Palace Maid C: What? The ladies in the palace are getting pregnant one after another, and the Queen doesn’t have her own children. Of course she must be sad to see this.
···· ··· ··· ···
When the news finally reached the emperor's ears, it was revealed that the queen's fate was suppressing the baby in Concubine Wan's belly. If this continued, it would be detrimental to Concubine Wan's delivery.
When the emperor heard this, he threw down the book in his hand in annoyance.
How could the Queen's fate affect the fetus in Concubine Wan's belly?
Even the Queen's fate affected the feng shui of the Forbidden City!
No wonder an epidemic broke out in the palace at the beginning of the year.
Although the emperor did not believe this, he was still very upset.
