Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 192 The whole palace is watching my smile

Concubine Liang ordered someone to hand the gift to Chunying, Mengpin's current personal maid, and said gently, "Sister, you are promoted to the position of concubine, so of course I have to come and congratulate you."

Mengpin quickly invited people in: "Chunying, serve tea!"

"Yes!"

Ruoli took the opportunity to say, "On the night of the New Year's Eve banquet, our queen told His Majesty that Concubine Meng had been wrongly accused and suffered great injustice. His Majesty didn't say anything at the time, but today he promoted the queen to the position of concubine, which shows that he still cares about her in his heart!"

Mengpin's eyes showed a trace of gratitude: "I know that I can be where I am today, and it is inseparable from Sister Liangfei speaking well of me in front of His Majesty."

Concubine Liang glared at Ruoli and said, "It's just a piece of cake. Why are you bringing this up for no reason?"

Ruoli slapped her lips and said, "I am also happy for Concubine Meng. I just spoke my mind for a moment. I hope you two ladies will not blame me."

Mengpin smiled and said, "Sister Liangfei is kind and the palace ladies around her are simple and honest. How can I blame her?"

Next, Concubine Liang expressed her concern for the heir in Concubine Meng's belly. The two of them exchanged some intimate words before she stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first and come visit Sister Meng another day."

Mengpin escorted Concubine Liang out: "I dare not. I have been so taken care of by Concubine Liang these days, but I have not yet paid my respects to her in Changchun Palace. This is really disrespectful."

"Why should we care about these empty things between sisters?"

Before leaving, Ruoli and Chunying exchanged glances.

Chunying helped Mengpin walk back: "Your Majesty, please go slowly and be careful at the threshold."

Concubine Meng had an ordinary family background and she never dreamed that she would be appointed as the head of a palace before she even gave birth to a royal heir.

She has always been very low-key in her residence, and today was the first time she experienced being complimented by countless people and being the center of attention.

So... this is the feeling of being favored!

Mengpin sat on a chair by the window, lowered her head and gently stroked her belly: "I am now a concubine, and I will be promoted to a concubine after giving birth to a child. The days to come will definitely get better and better."

She was weak in the harem, but as long as she firmly attached herself to Concubine Liang, she would be able to give birth to a child safely. At this rate, even if she became one of the four concubines in the future, it might not be impossible!

Chunying flattered, "Among all the nobles in the palace, only you and Concubine Rou can be promoted without giving birth to an heir. This shows how much favor the emperor has given you! But..."

At this point, Chunying's tone was somewhat unfair: "We are both concubines, why did His Majesty send a lot of rewards to Zhongcui Palace and give her the power to assist in managing the six palaces? But when it comes to the queen, His Majesty didn't even give her a title..."

"In the eyes of those who don't know the truth, they might think that His Majesty only has Concubine Rou in his heart, and he promoted you just because he is afraid that Concubine Rou will attract too much attention and he wants you to be his target..."

Chunying suddenly realized what was happening. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground and slapped her mouth repeatedly: "My servant said something out of turn! My servant said something out of turn! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The smile on Mengpin's face had completely disappeared, and her eyes were filled with gloom.

She was not a fool, how could she not understand what Chunying said. It was just that it was too difficult to climb to the position of concubine, and she got a great advantage for nothing, how could she not be happy?

But the fig leaf was torn off by Chunying, and Concubine Meng had to face the ugly truth and could no longer deceive herself.

Perhaps because she had reached a high position and had become close to Concubine Liang, Mengpin's heart had grown up and she was no longer as timid as before.

"Roupin! It's Roupin again! Both she and I are concubines, and both are pregnant with the emperor's heir. She just has one more title than me, how noble can she be?!"

"If the Japanese princess gave birth to a prince, and she only gave birth to a princess, or couldn't give birth to a princess at all, there might be a day when she would be trampled under my feet!"

Chunying nodded quickly: "Your Majesty is right! How can Concubine Rou compare to you?"

"Since the queen became pregnant, His Majesty has not come to see you and the heir. Today is the queen's promotion day, and I think His Majesty will definitely come to see the queen in the evening!"

Thinking of the emperor's handsome face, Mengpin's face flushed: "Pick out a set of beautiful jewelry from my dressing table and dress me up well. I hope His Majesty will be happy when he sees it..."

……

Yongshou Palace.

Lady Zhou sat at the bottom, holding her handkerchief and crying, "My Lady, there are three pregnant concubines in the harem, two of whom have been promoted to concubines, leaving me as the only one who is still a lady."

"Everyone in the palace is laughing at me. I am too embarrassed to see anyone! Wuuuuu..."

If only Shen Zhinian was promoted, she could still hate Shen Zhinian. But since both Shen Zhinian and Mengpin were promoted, she could only blame His Majesty for being unfair!

Concubine Liu's eyes were filled with impatience: "The eldest princess has just recovered from her illness, and you are here howling! It's New Year's Day, do you want to make both me and the eldest princess restless?"

Concubine Zhou choked. It was not right to continue crying, nor was it right to stop crying: "I...I didn't mean that..."

"It's just that everyone knows that I am the Imperial Concubine's person. If they laugh at me, it will be embarrassing for the Imperial Concubine..."

The sudden promotion of Shen Zhinian and Mengpin was indeed something Concubine Liu had not expected.

However, the fact that two people were promoted at the same time meant that they were not special in His Majesty's heart, so Concubine Liu was not that angry.

Moreover, Concubine Wen will soon enter the palace, and only if Shen Zhinian is promoted to the position of concubine will she have the capital to fight against her.

After figuring it out, Concubine Liu's brows relaxed.

"Your Majesty promoted Concubine Rou and Concubine Meng because they were greatly wronged. You want to be promoted because you feel that I have also wronged you while you are staying in my Yongshou Palace?"

Concubine Zhou was so frightened that she quickly stood up and knelt on the ground: "I dare not..."

"If you don't dare, then go down. The most important thing is to take good care of the royal heir in your belly. Don't think about nonsense all day long!"

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Xiao Mingzi reported the information he had obtained to Shen Zhinian.

As she had guessed, Concubine Meng was promoted to the rank of concubine, and the Yonghe Palace was crowded with people, attracting a lot of attention.

At this time, a young eunuch in front of the emperor came over and bowed, saying, "His Majesty said that he would come to Zhongcui Palace tonight to have dinner with Concubine Rou. Please make preparations early."

"understood."

Shen Zhinian asked Fuqiu to reward the young eunuch.

Soon it was afternoon.

Handan remembered that the queen was still quarreling with His Majesty, so she asked, "Your Majesty, should I make you look pale and weak like before?"

"Do not."

Shen Zhinian shook her head and said, "Just put on your makeup normally this time."

Nangong Xuanyu is the emperor after all. Now that she has gotten what she wanted, she must know when to stop.

Otherwise, if the emperor had appointed her as the mistress of a palace, and she still looked unhappy and gave him a cold look, the emperor would think she was ungrateful.
