Chapter 863 Growth (54 reward points plus more)
It was because she understood this rule that Concubine Xuan looked so worried.
She really doesn't want to be separated from her sister, Concubine Chen. What should she do?
The palace people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
In the harem, only the main lady is the real master of the palace, and the ladies in the side halls on the left and right are just dependents.
There is no lady who does not want to become the queen and have her own palace, but is willing to be dependent on others.
The Empress has endured for so long since she started living in the Qiandi Palace. She has finally become the Empress from a young lady and will have her own palace. Even if new people enter the palace in the future, they can only rely on her. Why is she not only unhappy, but also looks so sad?
They really can’t understand it anyway…
Xuanpin doesn't need others to understand her thoughts.
Those who have not experienced it will not understand this feeling...
At this time, Yuan Bao's voice came from outside: "The Royal Concubine Chen is here --!!!"
Xuanpin immediately looked towards the door.
The palace maids all knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Your servants/servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Shen Zhinian waved his hand, signaling them to get up, and walked into the inner room.
Seeing her, Xuanpin's eyes were filled with tears, and she wanted to stand up and salute: "Your servant pays respect to the emperor..."
"All right."
Shen Zhinian stopped her and said softly, "You just gave birth to a child and you are weak. There is no need to be polite."
Then, her eyes fell on the wet nurse beside her and she waved her hand: "Bring the Sixth Prince over here and let me hold him."
In the palace, in order to avoid suspicion, concubines rarely held other people's newborn babies, lest something happened and they couldn't explain it.
From this, it can be seen that Shen Zhinian really regards Xuanbin as his own.
The wet nurse responded "yes" and gently handed the Sixth Prince to Shen Zhinian.
She looked down and smiled, "It really looks just like when Xu was just born, wrinkled."
As a new mother, when talking about her child, Xuanpin's eyes also shone with tenderness: "Yes, I just said so."
"I just wonder if the Sixth Prince will be as handsome as the Fourth Prince when he grows up?"
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "Of course I will."
After all, Nangong Xuanyu and the concubines' looks are there, and there are no ugly children in the palace.
Except for the third prince, who looks really weird...
However, Tang Luochuan had told Shen Zhinian before that although he didn't know what was wrong with the Third Prince, there was definitely something wrong. For this reason, He Yuanpan had hinted to all the imperial doctors that if anyone asked about the Third Prince's condition again, they should say that the Third Prince was no different from a normal baby.
The more this happens, the more obvious it becomes.
After holding him for a while, Shen Zhinian handed the Sixth Prince to the wet nurse to take away to feed him.
Xuanpin looked at Shen Zhinian with sparkling eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Chen, when the Sixth Prince grows up, I will definitely tell him that it was because of your careful care and dedication that I gave birth to him safely. In the future, he and the Fourth Prince must be the best brothers and support each other in the treacherous royal family!"
Just like her and her sister Concubine Chen!
Shen Zhinian nodded.
Thinking of the sigh she heard when she just came here, she asked curiously: "What were you talking about with Zhu'er before? Why did I hear you sighing?"
Xuanpin did not say what she was thinking.
Because she knew that in the harem, no matter how big the matter was, it was not bigger than the rules.
She didn't want to leave Zhongcui Palace because she couldn't bear to leave her sister, Concubine Chen. But if she really violated the palace rules because of this matter, others would definitely criticize her for it, and it would also implicate Concubine Chen.
Xuanpin suppressed her reluctance and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, I just remembered what happened during childbirth."
"Sister Noble Concubine Chen, has the Ministry of Punishment found out who is trying to harm me?"
At the end of her speech, there was a hint of coldness in Xuanbin's tone.
After becoming a mother, she could better understand the feelings of being a mother. If someone wanted to harm her or her child, she would never allow it!
Shen Zhinian looked at the completely dark sky outside and shook his head, saying, "Su Quanye will come to report as soon as there is a result. Sister, you may as well wait a little longer. His Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Knowing that there was no rush for this matter, Xuanpin nodded: "Okay."
Shen Zhinian said: "After being given the title of concubine and moved to Chengqian Palace, there will be many more palace servants around my sister. You must be extra careful then."
"Fortunately, the left and right halls of Chengqian Palace are now empty. After my sister moves in, she won't have to worry about guarding against concubines with ill intentions."
Shen Zhinian certainly understood that Xuanpin was not a cunning person, and she had just given birth to the Sixth Prince, so she was in the limelight. If she rashly moved to a new palace, there would definitely be many people who wanted to put nails around her, or even harm her and the Sixth Prince.
It's understandable, but it's understandable.
In the palace, sisters can support each other, but they cannot do everything for each other. If Xuanpin herself does not grow up, she can protect Xuanpin for a while, but not for the rest of her life.
Xuanpin also knew this truth and nodded seriously: "Sister Noble Concubine Chen, I will!"
If you really think about it, it seems that she has not done anything for Sister Guifei Chen until now. She has only relied on Sister Guifei Chen to have her current identity and status.
She said that she and Sister Guifei Chen would support each other.
She, her sister Concubine Chen, the Sixth Prince, and the Fourth Prince must stay in the palace forever!
In this case, she can no longer rely on Sister Guifei Chen for everything as she did before.
She is already a mother, she needs to stand up!
Not only does she have to protect herself and her children, but she also has to be able to help her sister, Concubine Chen, and the Fourth Prince at critical moments!
Xuanbin's eyes became more and more determined, as if at this moment, she had shed her previous laziness and cowardice, and possessed a gentle and calm strength!
Postpartum is a time of weakness and you need more rest.
Shen Zhinian didn't bother her too much. After chatting with Concubine Xuan for a while, he returned to the main hall.
With Zhu'er's service, Concubine Xuan had some chicken soup and lean meat porridge.
Suddenly, she remembered something: "I gave birth to the Sixth Prince safely, which is a great joy. I should have rewarded you who served me long ago, but I forgot about it just now because I was so busy."
"Come here, pass on my order. All the palace servants in Lanyue Pavilion will be rewarded with a year's salary!"
Two years ago, Concubine Xuan certainly would not have been so generous. She even had to worry every month about how much money she should give to the Imperial Household Department in order to get some good supplies in return.
However, ever since Shen Zhinian entered the palace, because she lived with Xuanpin, she had slept with her many times, and the accumulated rewards she received were already a considerable sum!
Especially after she became pregnant, the gifts sent by the ladies and concubines in various palaces were also extremely valuable.
