Chapter 290: Waste of Clothes
Compared with Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi, Concubine Xin is indeed much better.
At least the two of them could sleep soundly until dawn, instead of waiting for the emperor to return to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials after finishing his business, or even for Concubine Jing to go see the children before he finished his business.
When the emperor wanted to ask Xin Changzai to sleep with him again, the Jingshifang reported that Xin Changzai had her period, so the green card was hung up.
The emperor felt a little regretful and immediately let go.
Although it is good to enjoy the life of time, the emperor still prefers the young, beautiful and fresh.
That day in Sui Yuxuan, Chun Chang was watching over Zhen Huan as they talked. Zhen Huan asked Chun Er to eat less so that the nanny wouldn't complain about her gaining weight and wasting clothes when she was re-measured for her.
Chun'er was only focused on eating the milk cake in front of her, smiling at Zhen Huan and not saying anything else.
Only when she was eating at Sui Yuxuan would the nanny who followed her stop nagging her.
When the emperor walked into the hall from outside, he heard the two of them talking excitedly, so he didn't want to let Xiao Xiazi report to them and disturb their interest.
Just as he came in, Zhen Huan discovered that the emperor had arrived and immediately stood up and saluted.
"Your Majesty, may you be well." It is now May, and Zhen Huan has been pregnant for more than three months. Her belly is not particularly obvious yet, only slightly bulging.
Even so, the Emperor was reluctant to see Zhen Huan kneel down, and hurried forward to help Zhen Huan up.
Chun Changzai, who was standing by, had not seen the emperor for a long time. She was enjoying her milk cake just now, but when she heard that the emperor was coming, she quickly stuffed the last bite into her mouth, without even having time to wipe the milk crumbs from the corners of her mouth.
Chun Changzai stared at the emperor blankly and burped. He had eaten too fast just now and choked a little.
When Concubine Chun saw Concubine Wan bowing, she realized that she had been impolite and hurriedly knelt down to bow.
"Your Majesty, be safe."
"Get up." The emperor took Zhen Huan's hand and sat back on the couch.
"Isn't it harmful to the mouth? Why are these milk-flavored snacks served today?" the emperor asked.
"The taste is strange. I have different appetites every now and then. When I woke up this morning, I suddenly wanted to eat milk cakes and drink milk, so I asked the kitchen to prepare these."
"Is the imperial chef assigned to you from the imperial kitchen doing his best?" The emperor was obviously concerned about Zhen Huan, but his eyes unconsciously glanced from Zhen Huan's belly to Chun Changzai who was sitting on the embroidered stool.
Chun Changzai was really careless. She didn't even realize there were some milk cake crumbs on the corner of her mouth.
Chun Changzai had been raised in the Forbidden City for two years. She had grown a lot, and now her skin was as white as cream with a little baby fat, which was very eye-catching.
The emperor wanted to wipe the milk cake crumbs off Chun Changzai's lips, but because they were in Sui Yuxuan and Huanhuan was pregnant, the emperor did not take any action.
That night, Chun Changzai was sprinkled with layer upon layer of perfumed powder by the nanny and sent to the emperor's dragon bed.
For several days in a row, Chun Changzai was the one who was summoned to the palace.
After each favor, the emperor would ask Su Peisheng to prepare a few plates of milk-flavored snacks for Chun Changzai.
This touched Concubine Chun very much. Although the emperor was much older than her, he was much more attentive than the empress.
Every time she was favored by the emperor, the queen would remind her to be dignified and elegant, and behave like a concubine, but the emperor would also prepare snacks for her.
It is said that Chun Changzai had been coveting the flock of ducks in Jingren Palace for a long time. The Queen raised those ducks every day and never gave herself one to eat.
Every morning, Chun Changzai was sent back to the Yanx Palace in the Fengluan Chun'en carriage, and she was always exceptionally peaceful when she walked into the courtyard.
Noble Lady Fucha, who lives in the main hall, is more than seven months pregnant. No one knows what she is busy with in the house every day. Every time, she has to be coaxed and persuaded by Yingtao to go out for a walk.
Sister An's room was also exceptionally quiet, with the door closed all day long, looking mysterious.
Chun Changzai thought that since she was unexpectedly favored, she should at least enjoy the "exclusive treatment" of a favored concubine and be scolded in front of other unfavored concubines. But why was everyone so quiet when it was her turn?
She also expected Concubine Hua to glare at her and sneer at her viciously, "You bitch are just pretentious."
After all, she is the favored concubine, and she doesn't feel like the one being bullied by other concubines at all.
Two days ago, when Concubine Hua went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager after receiving the emperor's favor, she said that she had worked hard before she even had time to sit down, and asked Miss Songzhi to send her some blood swallows to the Yanx Palace later.
Xin Chang's eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at her, and she even asked Miss Xiuhe to give her a portion of the dried apricots that Concubine Hua gave her.
As for Concubine Jing, she nodded slightly towards Concubine Chun, her eyes full of affirmation.
After the greetings, Concubine Jing asked Ruyi to send some of Wen Yi's favorite milk fruit snacks to Concubine Chun.
Concubine Qi looked at herself with a bit of resentment. When looking at Concubine Qi, Concubine Chun felt a bit embarrassed. She also knew that it was rare for Concubine Qi to be favored by the Emperor, but she didn't expect that the Emperor would not stay until the end.
Since that night, the emperor has been summoning me, and my sister Qi Fei has been living in seclusion in Changchun Palace again.
When Chun Chang looked at Concubine Qi, she no longer expected to be a favored concubine. She thought that Concubine Qi was her ironclad partner. What would she do if Concubine Qi stopped playing with her because the Emperor favored her?
So when Chun Chang looked at Concubine Qi, she gave her a flattering smile. Concubine Qi rolled her eyes at her, and the moment she turned her head, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
As for Lipin and Lingxiang, they were really jealous of Chunchangzai, who was particularly cared for by the Queen.
But for Chunyi, this little sarcasm was a great surprise. With Lipin and Lingchang here, she finally felt what it felt like to be a favored concubine.
"What Concubine Hua said makes sense. Concubine Chun is a few years older now and her body has matured. The emperor has often summoned her recently. Concubine Chun must seize the opportunity and take care of her body so that she can conceive a prince for the emperor as soon as possible like your sister Wan." The queen spoke slowly after Concubine Hua.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have already made an agreement with Sister Wan that I will give birth to ten or eight more fat babies for her to play with the baby in her belly." Chun Changzai's words made everyone present laugh.
The queen smiled so much that she leaned back, but in her heart she was thinking that it would never be possible.
After hearing about the pregnancy, An Lingrong sat in the corner, her eyes moving back and forth between the innocent Chun Changzai and the smiling face of the Queen, but she didn't find any clues.
In the past few days, after Fang Chunyi returned to the Yanx Palace, An Lingrong would pay special attention to whether the Queen would send Jianqiu or Huichun to deliver something to Chun Changzai.
After observing for several days, An Lingrong did not find anything unusual.
