Concubine Yi Appears

But now that the emperor has ascended the throne, he has been diligent in his work and loves his people, and he never likes luxury.

Therefore, Concubine Lin also followed suit and thought of using silk flowers to make this item, which can be worn repeatedly, which is not bad.

When the brocade plate was brought to Lin Wanyi, she saw that there was also an iris and an oncidium in it. She picked up the oncidium without thinking.

The light yellow flowers looked simple and low-key among the flowers that were competing for beauty, and she liked it very much.

But Concubine Chu, who saw her pick up the oncidium, couldn't help but sneer, and the mockery in her eyes became more obvious.

Who do you think she is? She just forced herself to admit her mistakes to the concubine, and then she pretended to be at peace with the world.

If she really has such a peaceful mind, what is the point of entering the palace? Why not tie her hair and go to the mountains to become a nun, so as not to seduce His Majesty here.

After receiving the reward of palace flowers, everyone had to thank them whether they were sincere or false.

So, everyone stood up and saluted to Concubine Lin, saying, " Imperial Concubine, I thank you for your reward."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain outside was suddenly lifted up, and a graceful voice was heard from outside.

"Oh, Sister, I'm late. I don't know what the Sisters are doing here?"

A woman with elegant manners and ordinary looks, but with a bit of boldness and grace in her demeanor walked in.

She was wearing a water-red satin long skirt with floral trims. The stamens on it were made of oriental pearls, and she swayed gracefully when she walked.

Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Lin on the seat with a burning gaze. Although she was a head shorter in status, she was not inferior in pomp and charm. She walked straight to Concubine Lin and slightly bent her knees as a salute.

Everyone saw this perfunctory attitude, but no one dared to say anything, and they all shut up and lowered their heads.

On the other hand, Imperial Concubine Lin, who was sitting on the throne, put on a generous smile and said to Imperial Concubine Yi,

"Is sister here?"

"Greetings to my elder sister. The Third Prince felt a little unwell when he woke up this morning, so I asked the Imperial Physician to come and see him. That delayed the time. Will my elder sister blame me?"

"Oh? What happened to the Third Prince?"

"He had a cough that was not getting better. His Majesty gave him loquat nectar a few days ago, and it got better after a few days of consumption. I don't know why he coughed a few more times this morning. I was afraid that His Majesty would worry about him, so I had to ask the Imperial Physician to come and see him."

The Third Prince has always been muscular, stronger and healthier than all the other princes and princesses. A few coughs were just an excuse given by Imperial Concubine Yi.

Imperial Concubine Lin did not expose her, but continued with her words.

"I see, Qin He."

"I'm here."

"Go and send a basket of newly-tributed snow pears from the foreign vassal to Imperial Concubine Yi's palace, and ask the palace maids to add some white fungus and red dates to steam before eating. It's a way to moisten the lungs and relieve coughs."

"Yes, I obey your command."

Concubine Lin looked very fond of the third prince, which made Concubine Yi "very grateful".

"Thank you for your concern, sister. When the third prince recovers, I will let him come to your palace to play with the eldest princess."

The eldest princess that Concubine Yi mentioned was naturally Princess Mingruo, born to Concubine Lin, who is now about four years old.

A proud daughter of heaven naturally lives a comfortable life.

However, Lin Wanyi did not miss the flash of pain in Concubine Lin's eyes. She secretly thought that Princess Rongkang and Concubine Lin had another reason as to why they were trying to get her into the palace, and I'm afraid it was not just to consolidate their favor.

After all, Concubine Lin had not been pregnant for many years since she gave birth to the eldest princess. Sending her into the palace must have been with the idea of ​​having a child.

She couldn't help but stroke her lower abdomen.   

It's fine that she has no choice, but also the child has to be calculated in the mother's womb?

Lin Wanyi didn't want to, and didn't want this to happen.

She glanced at Xia An who had been standing behind her, and had other plans in mind.

In the main hall, undercurrents surged.

Concubine Yi appeared, and the most proud one was Chu Guiren who had just been defeated.

After all, Concubine Yi's grandfather was the famous Marquis of the Northwest. When she was in the northwest, she had met Concubine Yi before she entered the palace.

After all, they were both concubines from the families of military commanders in the northwest, so their relationship was naturally better than others.

So she said to Concubine Yi in a flattering way.

"The third prince is the prince that His Majesty loves the most, so he is naturally more precious than others. Her Majesty is so lucky. When I went to the palace to visit the third prince a few days ago, he even read "Strategies of the Warring States". He is really talented and intelligent. He must have a bright future."

Hearing this, Concubine Yi turned around and glanced at Chu Guiren, with pride in her eyes.

"Sister Chu, stop talking nonsense. I think the second prince of Concubine Lan is not bad, but he is a little weak. He must be taken care of carefully."

"Sister Yifei, what you said makes sense. Concubine Lan is the most precious in the palace now. She is almost six months pregnant. If she can give birth to a fourth prince for His Majesty, it will be a great blessing, don't you think?" Concubine Yi, who was a little too proud of herself, looked at Concubine Lin with a smile on her face.

Concubine Lin's smile reached her eyes.

The two did not speak, but just looked at each other, but the concubines present felt sweaty and nervous.

Speaking of the ladies in the palace, the most precious ones are Concubine Lin, Concubine Yi and Concubine Lan.

Among them, Concubine Lin has the highest position, but she has only one princess after many years in the palace. In the harem, where you have to give birth to a prince to have the qualifications to fight for power and profit, you are a little bit at a disadvantaged.

Concubine Yi was born in a military family. Her grandfather was one of the regents appointed by the previous emperor. She also had a healthy prince in her hands. Although her position was lower, she was a woman who could not be underestimated in the palace.

Concubine Lan was weaker in terms of family background. Her father was a university scholar in the cabinet and studied under Prime Minister Lin. However, he was a very honest person. Therefore, he had an empty position in the court and her family power was weak.

The only thing that could compete with the other two was her pregnancy.

As a pregnant woman who had not been seen in the palace for a long time, she had been staying at home and not causing trouble since she became pregnant.

Therefore, the newly promoted concubines did not have a deep impression of her. They only hoped that they could be as lucky as Concubine Lan and get pregnant with a child as soon as possible, even if it was a princess, so that they could have hope in this palace.

Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows slightly and curled her red lips slightly.

"Sister, you are right. The blessing of having many children is indeed incomparable to you and me." This sentence hit the sore spot of Concubine Lin. Having no children has always been her biggest concern.

The more urgent it is, the more impossible it is.

Especially with more and more children in the palace, she had to agree to her grandmother's request and let Lin Wanyi enter the palace.

Yes, there is also Lin Wanyi!

Suddenly thinking of the fight with Concubine Yi, her expression suddenly relaxed.

Instead of responding to Concubine Yi's words, she called Lin Wanyi in front of her, holding her hand in an especially intimate manner and talking.
