Chapter 393 Shock
Chapter 393 Shock
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the twenty-fifth year of Jingzheng, at the end of the hour of Mao, a thin white line appeared on the horizon and just eroded half of the sky.
A group of concubines arrived at the Pepper Room early to pay their respects to the Queen.
Shen Ningyue sat at the top seat, took a sip of hot tea and blew on it gently.
"After the autumnal equinox, the daybreaks become later and later."
"It's getting cold this morning. When I got up to put on my makeup, the morning breeze from the window blew me." Imperial Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue smiled gently and shook her head. "I almost had to hide back in bed."
"That's right. The weather seems to be getting colder this year than in previous years." Yu Guipin Yu Sheyue agreed softly with a smile on her face.
"In a blink of an eye, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince have all got married, and Mingyue has also left the palace. I'm not used to it." Shen Ningyue's Ruifeng eyes were as clear as ever and full of tenderness.
Concubine Zhen Lu Xinyin put down her teacup and said teasingly, "I heard from Jiayin that although Princess Hengshan has moved to the Princess's Mansion, she can be seen in the palace every day. It is no different from when Princess Hengshan lived in the palace. How can the Queen not be used to it? Is she showing off her deep mother-daughter love to her sisters?"
Shen Ningyue smiled and sighed, jokingly saying, "How come you can see her in the palace, but I can't?"
Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue had to go to the palace every day since she moved to the princess's mansion. After entering the palace, she went straight to the royal library and asked people to make rubbings of books for her.
On the one hand, he wanted to use these books to edit the books, and on the other hand, he wanted to use these books to attract talented people who had no official position and no salary and could not enter the palace library to borrow books.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Princess Hengshan is still thinking about you. It is you, my sister Noble Concubine Yi, and my sister Zhenfei who are depressed."
"After the children officially entered the palace on the fifth day of the first lunar month, we haven't seen them since, except for the eleventh day, when they each brought their own princesses to the palace to serve tea."
"I'm afraid he has forgotten his old wife because he got a new bride, and has even thrown me out of his mind."
"Min Guipin can just complain by herself, there's no need to involve me. Mingjun and his princess have been childhood sweethearts, and now they are newlyweds. I can't tell you how happy I am."
"Today is the fifteenth day, and it's only been a few days. Concubine Min loves the Eighth Prince too much. The child is grown up, and it's time to give him some freedom."
With a mother like this, it’s no wonder that the Eighth Prince has no opinions of his own.
Imperial Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue thought to herself.
"Sister Noble Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhen didn't give me any face at all. They made me blush."
Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi raised her hand and pressed her face with a smile.
"Those sitting in the palace are all my sisters, so there is no need to be ashamed, Miss Min Guipin."
"You will be able to see the Eighth Prince at the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner tonight, so there is no need to rush, Sister Min Guipin."
The concubines started teasing her, and Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi pretended to be unable to withstand it and turned her head away.
Seeing the indifferent Lan Fei Alanruo beside him, he said:
"All the sisters are attacking me, either teasing me or laughing at me. The only exception is Sister Lan. Why is Sister Lan so listless today? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Speaking of which, the Thirteenth Prince has been out of the palace for quite a while, right? Doesn't Sister Lan miss him?"
Alanruo shook her head, too lazy to answer.
She suspected that there was something wrong with her heart. She had been having palpitations for the past few days, but the imperial physician couldn't find out what was wrong.
A bunch of quacks.
Shen Ningyue was about to say a few words of concern, but was interrupted by the eunuch who came hurriedly with the news.
"Your Majesty, may all the ladies be blessed with good health.
Your Majesty, the Queen, all the ladies, something terrible has happened. His Majesty has ordered the ladies to be tied up, and is whipping them himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the concubines in the palace, whether they had children or not, stood up suddenly, shocked and amazed.
