Chapter 288 Sowing discord
Lin Junxue glanced indifferently at Qin Shushu, whose expression had just changed.
Then, she looked at Xie Yu, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, I will instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a few more experienced maids to come to Ning'an Palace and let Concubine Shu choose carefully."
Lin Junxue specifically suggested selecting a few more maids so that Qin Shushu could choose one herself.
This is to avoid the situation in the future where this nanny really makes any mistake or is plotted against by someone.
It would be difficult to explain it to her at that time, so she let Qin Shushu make her own choice.
Zheng Jin's eyes darkened. The Queen was really shrewd.
Suddenly, Lin Junxue turned her head and glanced at Zheng Jin. Zheng Jin quickly put away his previous expression and smiled at Lin Junxue.
Under Lin Junxue's gaze, Zheng Jin actually felt a little guilty.
Qin Shushu, who was humiliated like this, grabbed Xie Yu's hand and wanted to continue acting coquettishly.
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Okay, you are pregnant now, but it's just a nanny. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will send someone over, so just choose carefully."
Qin Shushu saw that Xie Yu was getting impatient, so she immediately shut up and didn't dare to say anything.
However, she had already begun to resent Lin Junxue in her heart.
If it weren't for the Queen, the Emperor would have given her this grace today. It's all the Queen's fault.
Qin Shushu quickly showed weakness
"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and am very anxious. Can you stay with me today?"
Qin Shushu saw that her wish for grace had not come true, and immediately wanted to use the baby in her belly to keep Xie Yu.
Xie Yu paused and did not agree immediately
Next second
Lin Junxue took a step forward, her expression calm, and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, since Concubine Shu is unwell, Your Majesty will stay in Ning'an Palace to accompany Concubine Shu. I will take my leave now."
Having said that, Lin Junxue bowed and was about to leave.
Qin Shushu's face lit up with joy, but before she could even feel happy.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue and said in a deep voice, "I am with the Queen. There are still political affairs to be dealt with in Taiwu Palace."
After Xie Yu finished speaking, he looked at Qin Shushu
"You should have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, please call the imperial physician. I will come to see you another day."
After saying this, the man stood up
Zheng Jin said, "I respectfully send off the Emperor and Empress."
Xie Yu then looked at her, and Zheng Jin smiled shyly.
Xie Yu nodded and said, "Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu, you are in the same palace. Now Shu Jieyu is pregnant, please take care of her more."
Lin Junxue stood aside. Xie Yu was really good at attracting hatred.
In front of a concubine, she was asked to take care of another pregnant concubine.
This operation was done because they were really worried that Shu Jieyu would have too comfortable a pregnancy.
Zheng Jin immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command. Sister Shu and I have a deep sisterly love, and I will definitely take good care of Sister Shu."
Xie Yu looked at her with satisfaction, and then Xie Yu took Lin Junxue away from Ning'an Palace.
Qin Shushu, leaning on the bed, watched the two leave with an expression of undisguised resentment and jealousy.
Zheng Jin turned to look at Qin Shushu and sighed heavily.
"Sister, I never expected that even though you were pregnant, the Emperor still left with the Empress. Sigh, in this harem, we sisters all have a miserable life. No one can be as favored as the Empress."
When Qin Shushu heard Zheng Jin say this, her face became even uglier.
She said bitterly, "The Queen's favor is exclusive to the harem, why is she competing with us? I'm already pregnant, but the Queen wants to snatch the Emperor away in front of me. The Queen just can't bear to see me pregnant."
Seeing Qin Shushu so angry, Zheng Jin sat down and took the opportunity to provoke her.
"Sister, forget it. Even if you are pregnant, the Queen's favor is unmatched by anyone in the harem. You see, originally, I just wanted the same favor as Concubine Lan did and wanted to send a nanny home. The Queen didn't agree, and the Emperor also agreed with her. So don't fight with the Queen. We can't win."
Qin Shushu is full of confidence
"Why? Now that I'm pregnant, I want to fight for it. The emperor values offspring the most. Even if the queen is favored, if she doesn't have a legitimate child, who will be favored in the future?"
Zheng Jin shook his head
"Sister, although in the harem, mothers are honored by their sons, but, with the emperor's current favor for the queen, isn't it just a matter of time before a legitimate child is born? I advise you to please the queen more. You see, when Lanpin was pregnant, the queen paid much attention to her. If it weren't for the queen's protection, how could Lanpin have risen from a small noble to the head of the nine concubines now? And, didn't Yan Zhaoyi, who entered the palace with us, get to where she is today because of her good relationship with the queen?"
The more Zheng Jin said this, the gloomier Qin Shushu's face became.
Especially when it comes to Zhang Yuyan, she has always been dissatisfied as to why Zhang Yuyan has become the favored Concubine Yan when they were both selected ladies who entered the palace at the same time?
She is pregnant now, but the emperor not only gave her rewards, but also promoted her position.
But she forgot Zhang Yuyan's prominent family background and the contributions made by the Zhang family after Xie Yu ascended the throne.
These are the foundation for Zhang Yuyan to reach where she is today, and even to a higher position in the future.
Of course, Qin Shushu didn't know that Xie Yu had already mentioned to Lin Junxue that after the New Year, he would promote the positions of Zhang Yuyan and the other three.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that because of her disrespect and provocation to Lin Junxue today, her originally planned promotion was completely ruined.
Qin Shushu gritted her teeth and said, "No, why can the Queen monopolize the Emperor's favor? I can do it too. You don't have to persuade me, sister. I just won't accept my fate."
Zheng Jin felt proud that she had successfully aroused Qin Shushu's resentment.
Zheng Jin took Qin Shushu's hand, very intimately, as if he was thinking about her.
"Hey, sister also knows that I can't persuade you."
Qin Shushu looked at Zheng Jin with emotion
"Sister, you are the only one in this harem who is sincere to me. In the future, if I reach a high position, I will never forget you."
Zheng Jin nodded
"My dear sister, you and I just get along well. In this harem, only you and I can trust each other."
Zheng Jin stayed with Qin Shushu for a while, then left with the palace maid.
Qin Shushu stared at Zheng Jin's departing back, her eyes full of disdain.
She sneered and said, "What's the point of sisters being sincere?" Does Zheng Jin really think she would believe it?
In this harem, apart from interests, there is no sincerity between women.
She wouldn't believe a single word of Zheng Jin's sweet talk.
Zhonghe Palace
Xie Yu did not go to Taiwu Palace, but went directly back to Zhonghe Palace with Lin Junxue.
Obviously, the talk of government affairs in Ning'an Palace just now was just an excuse.
Xie Yu sat on the couch, took Lin Junxue's hand, looked at her gently, and said in a deep voice.
"Today, did Shu Jieyu use the child in her belly to make you angry?"
Lin Junxue paused, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? No, that's not the case."
Xie Yu said, "What do you mean by no? I heard your tone when I arrived today and knew it. If it was usual, why would you ask me for this favor that Shu Jieyu asked for?"
