Chapter 4699 Power without love 14
She was worried every day that she was plotted by other concubines. In addition to those rewards, Emperor Chu was stingy with a word of comfort. He never came to her hall to look at her, nor sent anyone to protect her. Now at the family dinner, Emperor Chu had seen herself, but he never asked her for nothing, even if he pretended to care. It can be seen that when Emperor Chu had her in his heart before, he had lie to her.
After serving Emperor Chu for so many years, Concubine Cheng has always known that Emperor Chu loves the country the most, but it was the first time she clearly realized the ruthlessness of Emperor Chu.
Even if such a ruthless king gave birth to children for him, the most important thing in his heart is always those illusory rights. He will not have himself in his heart, nor will he really care about himself.
Emperor Chu's performance poured a basin of ice water on Concubine Cheng's head and inserted a knife into Concubine Cheng's heart, which made the mind that was originally just preparing to surrender to Jiujiu was completely firm.
Emperor Chu drank one cup after another and soon became drunk. Jiujiu looked at Emperor Chu who had already started talking nonsense, twisted his head in disgust and asked Wanfu to send Emperor Chu back to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to rest.
After Emperor Chu left, the originally lively family banquet suddenly became deserted. Except for the favorite concubine who had been named by Emperor Chu to serve the bed, everyone else had a desolate expression on their faces.
I was not favored by Emperor Chu at the family banquet. Emperor Chu has always been affectionate. Even if he favored you, he may not recognize who you are next time he meets you.
Now that he has sealed his pen, he does not need to go to court or review memorials. Moreover, Emperor Chu has a criminal record of bringing back the beauty during a private visit. If he took back a few sisters in private visits in the past few days, their days of sleeping will be far away, and everyone's faces will appear particularly heavy.
Emperor Chu has left, and it doesn’t make sense whether Jiujiu stays or not.
Jiujiu sat down for a while and left directly on the excuse of being unwell.
However, when leaving, Jiujiu said something casually, and asked someone to take care of Concubine Cheng's body carefully.
Concubine Cheng was even more grateful for this, and the other concubines instantly turned their attention to Concubine Cheng.
Yes, so what if that person is spoiled? If he is spoiled, he will be pregnant, but Cheng Fei is different. She is already pregnant. No matter whether she is spoiled in the future, she now has His Majesty's child in her belly. Even if His Majesty doesn't like her, she will remember this person because of the existence of the child.
Thinking of this, the other people's expressions of Cheng Fei instantly became more unkind.
Realizing the look of others looking at him, Concubine Cheng shrank down, unconsciously pulled her clothes, and then left with illness.
Because the person carrying the sedan chair was a little eunuch who was specially chosen by Jiujiu. Even if someone wanted to do something to Concubine Cheng, because the eunuch was sent by Jiujiu, once it was found out, with the power of the queen, not only would they receive punishment, but even their family would not be spared. Although they really wanted to attack Concubine Cheng, they could only give up.
After the family dinner, the Spring Festival is the year.
After entering the palace, the emperor's concubine was not graceful and could not go home to visit relatives, but Emperor Chu was kind and allowed the concubines who were assigned to Zhaoyi to Xuan's family to enter the palace.
This imperial edict was beyond everyone's expectations. The concubines with high qualities swept away their previous fatigue and felt a little more anticipated and joyful about the New Year for the first time.
The people who came this time were Mrs. Zhenguohou and Mrs. Yan Yan.
After the maid brought the tea, she waited outside the hall.
Jiujiu has been practicing martial arts for a while, and after feeling that there were no secret guards around, she spoke: "Grandmother, mother."
Mrs. Yan has known during this period that Jiujiu has injured her body because of Qingliu's medicine. She is now recuperating. She has not been spoiled for several months. As soon as she comes in, her eyes look at Jiujiu's belly uncontrollably.
Thinking that Jiujiu became what she is now because of Qingliu, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
If I had known that Qingliu was such an ungrateful thing, I should have turned a blind eye when I saw her being sold to a brothel by her parents, and Yan Chen would not have been plotted against by her.
The mother of a country has been unable to give birth to children for a long time. Even if the Yan family holds military power, it cannot block the world's long mouth.
Mrs. Yan was filled with joy and anger. With just one glance, Jiujiu could see what Mrs. Yan was thinking.
Knowing that no matter what he said, it would not be able to dispel Mrs. Yan's resentment. Jiujiu could only comfort her, "Mother, it's always better than a few years later. She can still recuperate now. If she finds out later, even if the imperial doctor has the ability to be a master of heaven, her daughter's body will be completely destroyed."
Mrs. Zhenguo is now almost 60 years old and has eaten more salt than rice. She naturally knows the interests that Jiujiu mentioned. She glared at Mrs. Yan in anger and warned: "It's already very sad to be like this, so don't say it."
Things have happened, and it is useless to say more. Besides, it will only make people feel upset. It is better not to say it.
Mrs. Yan was just anxious. Now that she was scolded by the wife of Zhenguo, she immediately smiled and said in a low voice: "Empress, the border is stable now. You only need the eldest and fourth brothers to stay and guard. When the spring begins, Zhenguo and General Huwei will be able to return to the court."
Because of the troubles in the border area, the Yan family's son has not returned to Beijing for several years. Now that he has received such good news, Jiujiu's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, "My father and grandfather have not returned to Beijing for three years. This time, he can rest well."
"That's not it." Speaking of her father-in-law and husband, a hint of honor appeared on Mrs. Yan's face.
Logically speaking, Zhenguo Hou was so old that he should have stayed in the capital to enjoy his youth, but Zhenguo Hou was old and never had a heart. Moreover, when Zhenguo Hou was young, he rushed into the local camp with one horse and killed the local leaders. That stop caused an indelible shock to the enemy. So far, Zhenguo Hou was able to stop children from crying at night.
The pressure caused by Zhenguo Hou was incomparable to other members of the Yan family. Therefore, even though Zhenguo Hou no longer goes to the battlefield, he has been staying on the border to deter the enemy.
Now the border is stable, and the country-controlled man who has worked hard for his whole life to go abroad can finally return to the capital and live a good life with his grandchildren.
When the wife of Zhenguo heard about her husband, she couldn't help but smile, with her lips raised and said softly: "Chen'er, how about Qinghe?"
"Qinghe is meticulous and a talent that is useful. By the way, the person I asked Qingxing to send to participate in the Ganoderma lucidum last time, did my grandmother use it? How did it feel? If it is better, I will ask Qinghe to send some in another day."
"Empress Lao is worried. After eating, my wife's spirit is better than before." The wife of Zhenguo patted Jiujiu's back of her hand and said softly: "Half of her body has been buried in the soil. No matter how much that kind of good thing is eaten, it's just like that. The mother of the woman is not in good health. She should use more. She should take care of her body as soon as possible and give birth to a prince as soon as possible." (To be continued)
