Concubine Jing stopped massaging him and started stroking his hair instead. "I wouldn't dare say anything about others, but I was the one who sent her off before she died. I think she found what she really wanted at the very last moment. It wasn't what her family had instilled in her mind, but what she really wanted. She got it."
Luoshuanga felt the touch of her hand and closed his eyes. He said, "I don't really understand why an emperor has to have a harem. Is it really a good thing to have more women and more children? Let's not talk about anything else. Take myself for example. I stepped on my brother's blood to get to where I am. Even though we don't have much affection for each other, we all come from the same man.
Sometimes, I find the emperor ridiculous. It's natural for you to do well, but you'll be criticized if you don't. You can't slack off when you're dealing with government affairs during the day, and you can't even find peace when you're back in the harem at night. You're like a breeding stallion that only cares about getting a woman pregnant. You don't care about her at all.
It's said that the emperor is the supreme ruler, but I can't even protect you. Even if I want to be with someone, I have to look at other people's faces. Yiren, am I being unreasonable? I sat on the throne with all my might and wanted to be an emperor that would last for a thousand years. But now, I'm so weak that I can only hide here with you. Heh, how ridiculous. "
Concubine Jing frowned slightly, and tears welled up in her watery eyes. At that moment, she knew that all he wanted was her company and to listen to him. Once he stepped out of the Fallen Red Palace, he would be that omnipotent emperor again. He would only allow himself to be confused and weak here, by her side.
"If you really want to hate, then hate yourself, Your Majesty. Hate yourself for being reincarnated into your current mother's womb. It has nothing to do with gender, people, or this world. Would that make you feel better?"
Luoshuanga rubbed his head against her knee and said with a smile, "So you're saying that I brought this upon myself?"
However, after Luoshuanga left Feng Qi Palace in the afternoon, he turned around and went to Fallen Red Hall at night. Lan Guipin, who had just taken up the position of Yuxiu Palace next door, found out. On one hand, she sighed at how convenient it was to be in a high position of power. On the other hand, she couldn't help but feel jealous. The words that came out of her mouth were inevitably sour. "She is a pregnant woman, yet she doesn't take care of her child. She even seduced His Majesty to go to her place. Doesn't she know that other people are still missing?"
Concubine Hua smiled from the side and said: "Jiejie, why do you care? In any case, you are all concubines. Isn't it the same no matter who is born?"
Lan Guipin curled her lips and said: "How can it be the same? Do you think that the feng shui of Yuxiu Palace is really bad? Feng Zhi Palace has two pregnant women in succession. If this continues, who knows if there will be a third, a fourth."
Imperial concubine Hua smiled but did not speak. Imperial concubine Lan could not stop and continued to ramble, "I am not a stingy person, but after all, His Majesty only has one. There are too many monks and not enough gruel. Originally, His Majesty had gone to the hunting grounds, and after that, there were a bunch of loose ends. How long has it been since he came to the hougong?
Concubine Hua waved her fan and said: "Isn't it still daytime? It's not night yet. Thinking about it, you are just being considerate of a pregnant woman. His Majesty's care is expected. Jiejie's words are because you have been alone for a long time and feel …" Her words were endless and caused Lan Guipin to blush, but she didn't deny it.
Women were not the same as men. They were naturally restricted in this way. In the past, she didn't feel it, but now that she knew about the matters between men and women, and had tasted the feeling of having sex, she couldn't help but miss it when she dreamed in the middle of the night. But after waking up, other than having more clothes to wash, she still couldn't sleep.
To say that Lan Guipin had any deep affection for Luoshuanga was a lie. After all, they had only seen each other's appearance clearly for the first time when they served each other in bed. When they first saw each other, there was a slight throb. Now, as time passed, it had faded. Any affection was fake. Only the wealth in the treasury, the power in her hands, and the child that crawled out of her womb were real.
Concubine Hua put away her fan and said: "Jiejie, why are you in such a rush? You have endured so many days. Right now, the most important thing is to reorganize Yuxiu Palace, place our people in, and send those who don't obey out."
"You are right," Lan Guipin suddenly asked about Chen Guiren, "How has Chen Guiren been recently, is she still sick?"
Concubine Hua's brows furrowed, and she sighed lightly: "Of course. Usually, she is the most lively one in the family. I have never seen her suffer from any major or minor illness. Now that she is sick, it has dragged on for so long. She can't even serve in bed. I'm afraid that as time passes, His Majesty will forget about this person."
Lan Guipin heard that Chen Guiren's illness was serious and wanted to go see but was stopped by Concubine Hua, "Jiejie, don't be impatient. We are all in the same palace. You can go visit at any time. But today, let's not. When I came, Chen Guiren had just drunk medicine. She is probably sleeping soundly and will neglect jiejie. Speaking of which, which of the two palaces does jiejie think will make the first move?"
Lan Guipin said thoughtfully: "Consort Yan has already made a move. She will probably make another move. But she is the descendant of a criminal. Mu fei … won't be convinced?"
Concubine Hua shook her head and said: "Jiejie, how can you forget that there is still one person in Yuxiu Palace who is very close to Wen Guiren!"
"You mean … Ying Pin?"
Concubine Hua nodded and moved forward to say: "Jiejie, you and I know the origins of this Ying Pin. Even though she has fallen out with most of the people in the palace, but at this time, the Empress Dowager is grieving for Wang Pin. Seeing her, it is inevitable that her heart will soften. In the future, if she acts obedient and wins the favor of the Empress Dowager, with the Empress Dowager's protection, who can touch her? Why not … "
Lan Guipin was hesitant, "This is not good? Also, I'm afraid that the matter of the three taiyi will be exposed. "
"Jiejie is confused. Meimei didn't say that she would summon the taiyi to confirm her pregnancy," Concubine Hua took out a rouge box from her sleeve. When she opened it, a strange fragrance hit the nose. Inside, there was only a finely ground powder. It didn't look strange, "This is my Chen Family's pearl powder. It has a miraculous effect on beauty and skin care. But it can't be used too much. If it is used too much, it will delay menstruation and even cause amenorrhea!"
At this time, Lan Guipin recovered and said: "You want me to give this to Ying Pin?"
Concubine Hua said: "Jiejie is smart. In this period of time, Ying Pin must be anxious and angry. It is inevitable that she will have one or two pimples on her face. Jiejie only needs to give it to her. As to how to let her use it, it is up to meimei."
Hearing this, Lan Guipin was overjoyed. Taking the box, she said: "Then I thank A Hua."
