Chapter 264: Must Be Strong
Song Xiaojing said very experiencedly: "So you must take advantage of this time to stabilize your position in the mind of the eldest prince. Only by becoming stronger can you retain a man's heart."
Compared to Bai Huaqing, Song Xiaojing at least knows how to understand reality. After a period of training in the palace, she has more thoroughly realized the importance of having strong strength.
Bai Huaqing also wanted to compete for a reputation that everyone admired, but her real situation forced her to accept reality, so she still said in a low voice: "But now every move I make is in the sight of others, and I have no chance to get close to the eldest prince."
"Silly girl, what I mean by stability is not to ask you to be the eldest prince, but to start with those who threaten you."
"The person who threatens me?" Bai Huaqing looked at Song Xiaojing with a confused look on her face.
Song Xiaojing smiled indifferently and said, "Think about it, what has the royal family always paid the most attention to?"
Bai Huaqing thought thoughtfully for a moment, and her heart suddenly stumbled. She said confirmingly: "Are you talking about the royal heir?"
Song Xiaojing deepened the smile on her face and smiled with satisfaction: "We are talented and smart, and it turns out to be clear at a glance."
"Don't make fun of me anymore." Bai Huaqing also showed a shy smile.
Then Song Xiaojing said seriously: "Actually, your biggest enemy is not Anle, but those who have the royal heir."
Almost everyone knows the people in the palace. No matter when or under whose name, the royal heir is the focus of everyone's eyes. Only Dubai Huaqing blurted out with an ignorant look: "Why are they?"
Song Xiaojing shook her head helplessly at her ignorance, but she said patiently: "Analysis for yourself, even if you win the highest position, but you don't have the support to succeed you will still have nothing in the end. The power you compete for is just to pave a ready-made road to the top for other people's children."
Bai Hua's deep love locked her eyebrows and thought with a serious look on her face. It seemed that it made sense. As she saw with her own eyes, Wu Liangdi was pregnant with the emperor and was directly promoted to the third level. Moreover, Gao Yuanshang also cared about her body all the time. It is obvious that the emperor's heir is not only the focus in people's eyes, but also the status of that woman.
With Bai Huaqing's intelligence, she would never be unaware of the benefits and harms. Song Xiaojing gave her enough time to analyze and then said: "Qing'er, you have to know that a woman's status does not depend entirely on the man's pampering of her, but on her own means to fight for it."
"Then what should I do?" Bai Huaqing said hesitantly: "Now there are two concubines in Yongfu Palace who are pregnant. The eldest prince and I have not developed yet. It is impossible to be ahead of them."
"Then you have to find a way to hold them back." Song Xiaojing's sharp words were blindly determined. At this time, she was more like a very smart master, pointing to a young cub who had just shedded her shell.
Bai Huaqingshen frowned and looked at Song Xiaojing with a look of understanding. It was not that she didn't understand Song Xiaojing's meaning, but she didn't know what to use to hold them up for a moment, and she immediately paid attention to the so-called "holding".
Of course, Song Xiaojing was also afraid that her vicious attention would cause Bai Huaqing's shock and suspicion, so she said gently: "Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion, and the final decision is still in your hands. If you are willing to be an ordinary concubine, you don't have to imagine these things, but you are also ready to be slaughtered."
Bai Huaqing has experienced so many trials and suffered humiliation. Thinking of living under the feet of others for the rest of her life, the fear in her heart buried all her reason, and no one is willing to be a dead flesh slaughtered by others, so she said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't be a lamb slaughtered by others. I want to be strong, I must."
Song Xiaojing could see from Bai Huaqing's sharp and cold eyes that she was really infected by powerful power, which could be regarded as a way to make her bitter persuasion.
After seeing off Bai Huaqing, Song Xiaojing finally had a moment of rest. She walked back to her palace alone and met Gao Yuankang from afar and walked towards her.
Although Gao Yuankang has always been particularly concerned about her because of her pregnancy, she also knew clearly that his concern was mostly because of his children;
Gao Yuankang has no intention of promoting her at present, but he doesn't care about her. If the child is born, her status must still be not stable enough, so she must keep Gao Yuankang's attention and be best to be a powerful person around him.
Song Xiaojing thought as she walked, and with Gao Yuankang's appearance, she seemed to have not noticed her, so she pretended not to see her, and pretended to be struggling with her slightly bulging belly.
Because the weather was a little hot, she walked with difficulty while wiping the sweat beads on her forehead. She looked at her with disguise. No matter who looked at her, she would not be able to bear to go up to support her.
When Song Xiaojing walked into Gao Yuankang's sight, Gao Yuankang accidentally glanced and happened to see her coming, but Song Xiaojing deliberately changed the direction, which also made her seem to have not seen Gao Yuankang on the surface.
Gao Yuankang walked directly towards Song Xiaojing. When she knew that she had come into her sight, Song Xiaojing quickly walked up to her in surprise.
"I will meet Prince Lin." When Song Xiaojing approached, he hurriedly bowed his body and bowed.
"I have said that my beloved concubine is pregnant, so I don't have to be too polite in the future." Although Gao Yuankang's tone seemed cold, it also showed more concern.
Song Xiaojing said shyly: "I am happy to see King Lin, so I forgot it for a moment."
"Why are the beloved concubine walking alone? Where are the palace servants?" Gao Yuankang asked, and subconsciously looked around, but did not see the so-called palace servants.
"I want to walk around by myself, which is said to be beneficial to fetal development. I didn't expect to be impatient for a moment and leave the palace servant behind." Song Xiaojing lowered Lian in a little fear, like a child who did something wrong.
Gao Yuankang said with reproach, "I know that you are wholeheartedly considering the fetus, but you are still pregnant too early, and the imperial physician told me not to be tired. How could you be so careless?"
Although it was a reproach, Song Xiaojing felt more warm than those love words, so she said in a touching way: "I know I am wrong."
"Okay, I will send you back to the palace." Gao Yuankang held her in his arms casually, and Song Xiaojing smiled secretly, and the two walked into the hall together.
The other concubines who passed by occasionally looked at their intimate scenes, and there were burning flames in their eyes, otherwise there would be Song Xiaojing's careful design.
When the two returned to the hall, Song Xiaojing said in disguise: "The King Lin seems to be particularly busy lately, but what is going on in the court that is dragging you down?"
Gao Yuankang just said disapprovingly: "The harem shall not interfere in major affairs in the court."
"I am a woman, how could I interfere with the government affairs? I just heard that there was movement in the border area, so I was worried that it would provoke a war." Song Xiaojing helped Gao Yuankang peel an orange and hand it over, which made her feel easy-going and tasteless.
Gao Yuankang took the orange she handed over, but thought in his heart that Song Xiaojing's words were really just casual and had no intention. So he broke a piece of orange and said meaninglessly: "Even if a war happens, it will not easily endanger the concubine's wealth and food. The concubine doesn't have to worry about this."
After Gao Yuankang finished speaking, he put the orange in his mouth, looking like a meaningless attitude, but it hid a dark heart.
"With the King Lin, the yummy general, I will naturally feel at ease." Song Xiaojing said with a smile: "But, King Lin has made outstanding achievements in military affairs and has laid a ten thousand years of foundation for our Northern Dynasties. After all, it should be admired by thousands of people. It is a record that has been honored to serve King Lin. I am really lucky."
Gao Yuankang outlined the corner of his mouth with a smile. He would have believed that Song Xiaojing's words just now were all casually said, but she hinted in her words that he focused on fame and fame in history. I guess she did have no intention.
But he still said meaninglessly: "If you have something to say, why bother to go around such a big circle?"
Song Xiaojing was worried that what she said was obvious was not only unavailable, but was questioned by Gao Yuankang. Besides, she was not sure whether Gao Yuankang was willing to compete for the throne, so she just tried his words first.
So she quickly said quietly and said: "I am just talking casually. If there is any mistake, I hope the king will atone for his sins."
Gao Yuankang had long discovered that Song Xiaojing was not a simple character. Although she did not explain it directly, she was determined to ask, it was just an extraordinary attempt. However, Gao Yuankang did not want to expose her, but wanted to know more about what kind of ambition she had.
After Bai Huaqing returned to Yongfu Palace, she kept thinking about Song Xiaojing's reminder that she could not allow Gao Yuanshang to gradually neglect her while losing Gao Yuanshang, and even to the end of her life with nothing. She was unwilling to accept everything she had given, and all she had to wait for wasted, so she had to take action for her future.
She no longer accumulated all the desire for revenge on Song Anle alone, because as Song Xiaojing said, her biggest enemy at the moment was not Song Anle, an unpopular imperial concubine, but those who were pregnant with princes.
Perhaps it was God's will tormenting people, Bai Huaqing kept thinking hard all the way, so she didn't notice that Concubine Wu, Zhang, and Yang were visiting the garden. They were not planning to socialize each other, but after Gao Yuanshang's figure appeared, Concubine Wu immediately changed her attention.
