Chapter 259 Fat Orange (16)
Chapter 259 Fat Orange (16)
At first, Shen Meizhuang was just as Pangju had expected. She was even more excited. She thought it would be best if the emperor didn't come, so that every time he came to her place, they would not have to work out and the emperor would run away because of one thing or another that happened with Zhen Huan. This happened so many times that she was almost suffering from a psychological trauma.
Shen Meizhuang was angry at Zhen Huan and also angry at the emperor for not giving her face, so after that night when Pangju didn't come, Shen Meizhuang was also angry and never came to the Yangxin Palace to deliver any fruits or snacks again.
But with the rise of concubines, she inevitably felt a little flustered. Especially since the Fourteenth Master's family returned to the capital, the Queen Mother, with the permission of Fat Ju, not only often invited the Fourteenth Master's wife and children to the palace to see them. The Queen Mother, who felt sorry for her youngest son's family, sometimes stayed in the Fourteenth Master's house for a long time without returning to the palace.
Shen Meizhuang couldn't find any opportunity to curry favor with the Queen Mother.
In recent years, it has not been easy to see the Queen Mother, let alone curry favor with her!
Shen Meizhuang had thought about this before. As long as she had a child, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. Then she wouldn't have to worry about whether the emperor came or not.
But she had looked for a recipe for having a baby as thick as a book, but it was of no use, because Fatty Ju simply refused to come to their Xianfu Palace.
In the first two years after she entered the palace, even if the emperor didn't come to see her, he would occasionally visit Jingpin.
But now, ever since the Emperor found Jingpin an embroidery job, he has not come again. Even the cost of repairing the 31 bricks and stones with a few cracks that the Emperor has always insisted was broken by Jingpin was only collected by Eunuch Lan.
What is the difference between the current Xianfu Palace and the cold palace?
No, if it was just the cold palace, I could still talk to Jingpin, but now Jingpin has to work hard every day to complete the KPI set by the emperor, and she doesn't even have time to chat with me.
Shen Meizhuang felt that she had to take action.
She didn't want to die of old age as a noble lady, and she didn't want to be childless. After the emperor passed away, she would have to live in a small room with dozens of other concubines.
The prerequisite for having all this is that she has to be a little pampered and have a child.
But how can we recruit Fat Orange again?
Shen Meizhuang's dilemma is also Zhen Huan's dilemma. After four years in the palace, she has worked so hard for so long, but she has only returned to the situation before entering the palace.
Wan Changzai also wants to get promoted and make money.
Although Gua Liu, An Lingrong and Fu Cha Guiren could no longer serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber because they were pregnant, who could blame Yi Xiu and Nian Shilan for having finished their confinement after childbirth?
These two people just filled the vacancies left by the three people, and their positions were even higher. They divided up all the emperor's sleeping days, and other people didn't have the confidence to cause trouble for them.
With the strong return of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, Zhen Huan found that she seemed to be on the verge of falling out of favor again.
The reason why she was not said to have completely fallen out of favor was that the emperor still came to her place once every few months.
But the frequency of her periods is so low, when will she be able to get pregnant?
Seeing that there were suddenly three more pregnant women in the palace, Zhen Huan was extremely anxious!
She had figured it out. Regardless of whether she was favored or not, as long as she could get pregnant with a child, she would inevitably be promoted.
If you don't believe me, look at Noble Lady Fucha, um, now Concubine Zhuang. The emperor didn't really like her, he only went to her room once in a long time, and he would never send any rare things to Concubine Zhuang.
But now, just because she was pregnant, such a stingy emperor actually made her a concubine.
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan's desire to have a child instantly reached its peak.
When you are poor, you should think about change; when you are poor, you should take care of yourself; when you are poor, you should...
Zhen Huan was almost defeated by the poor life she lived.
Not to mention that in the original plot, it was difficult for Zhen Huan to enter the palace and go to Lingyun Peak. She didn't change at all at that time and her temper was still as fierce as before.
In the original plot, when Zhen Huan first entered the palace, there were two hotties, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang; when she had her first miscarriage and fell out of favor, the princess of Prince Dun eagerly sent her charcoal and old ginseng. After she went to Lingyun Peak, first the toady Wen Shichu came over to deliver supplies and help with the work, and then the old wife directly took Zhen Huan to Qingliangtai to enjoy a good life...
In the original story, Zhen Huan didn't suffer much at all! Even if she suffered a little, it was just because she wanted to.
But now it's different. Zhen Huan has the Queen's anger at Chun Yuan's face, Concubine Hua's iron-fisted approach towards the vixen who seduced the Emperor and used sharp words to insult her, and Fat Ju's extreme stinginess towards someone who doesn't care about her and hates her body.
What is the normal share of a small concubine? It was a big deal for Zhen Huan to get only one-third of that share.
Zhen Huan lived in such poverty for several years, which was not much better than eating coarse food. It is heartbreaking and makes anyone who hears about it cry!
Zhen Huan was eager to live a good life eating bird's nests and abalone, so one time when Pangju came over and enjoyed her service while keeping his eyes on Huanbi, Zhen Huan struggled for only a moment and let Huanbi serve Pangju with meals and grooming for the day.
Now that you've been helped to take a bath, won't everything else be a natural progression?
The next day, there was a new concubine named Bi in the palace. In order to encourage Zhen Huan and prove that what she did was effective, Pangju stayed with her for seven days. Although Huanbi was serving her for half of the time, Zhen Huan did not gain nothing. After seven days, Zhen Huan became a noble lady of Wan.
When Shen Meizhuang found out that Zhen Huan had offered her personal maid to win favor, she was so angry that she smashed a set of porcelain.
Then, the next day she asked Caiyue to go to the Yangxin Palace to serve the emperor's favorite old duck soup.
Tang Pangju did leave some as a reward for Lan Shizi, but Caiyue Pangju politely declined.
Although Huanbi's appearance is average, she has a good figure. What's so special about this Caiyue?
Although Fat Ju is a fat and playboy, he is also a scumbag with taste. He is not so picky that he will take anyone.
After a few days of simple meals, Fat Ju went back to Shi Lan's place. After all, who doesn't know that the food made in the small kitchen of Yikun Palace is the most exquisite and delicious?
He has been eating vegetable porridge for a week. Is it not too much to come to the Imperial Concubine's place to improve his diet?
However, this time Fat Orange didn't ignore Zhen Huan too much.
After all, he should encourage Zhen Huan's innovative behavior, right?
Moreover, once people's bottom line is torn, they will degenerate very quickly.
Fat Orange signaled Lan Shizi to improve the food at Zhen Huan's place recently.
Firstly, he went there to eat himself, and secondly... hehehe, it was the third month since Zhen Huan's meal was improved. That night, Fat Ju confidently proposed that Zhen Huan and Huanbi serve him at the same time.
That’s right, Pangju is a studious person. He has recently read some articles about Liu Bei and unlocked a lot of new postures. It just so happens that there are two ready-made concubines living in the east side hall of Sui Yuxuan?
These two weren't rare people, so Fat Orange had no pressure in abusing them.
He has no pressure, but Zhen Huan does!
Zhen Huan felt humiliated. After all, she was a respectable daughter of an official family!
How could the emperor belittle himself like this?
That's right, in Zhen Huan's view, this was just treating her as a toy. Although Pangju said that respecting family ethics is human nature, why didn't he find the Queen and the Royal Noble Consort to try this new trick?
It's nothing more than looking down on yourself.
Zhen Huan strongly objected, and Pang Ju left in anger. Then, she did not go back to the Yangxin Palace to be alone, but went to Shen Meiyu's Cunju Hall for the first time.
Although she knew that Pangju came from Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan, and receiving the emperor at this time would be a slap in the face of Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang did not hesitate at all and personally welcomed the emperor into her Cunju Hall.
She felt quite pleased at the moment, she thought, there was some truth in the saying that a bitch will get her comeuppance.
In the past, Zhen Huan knew that the Emperor was at her place, but she still sent people to tell him that she was playing Xiang Fei Yuan in the Sui Yuxuan, or that she was afraid of the lightning and thunder outside and deliberately led the Emperor over. Afterwards, she said that she did not mean it at the time and asked him not to blame her.
Then she must understand that the emperor came to her place to rest today, right?
After all, they didn't send anyone to look for her. It was really the emperor who came to their chrysanthemum hall himself.
After serving Fat Ju wholeheartedly for the whole night, Shen Meizhuang was very energetic the next day. After a simple wash, she couldn't wait to pay her respects to the Queen.
She just deliberately did not cover up the marks on her body. Shen Meizhuang thought, this time it is Zhen Huan's turn to be ridiculed by everyone, right?
I don’t know what happened last night, and what did Concubine Wan do to cause the emperor to leave late at night.
Zhen Huan felt too embarrassed to ask Fatty Ju for something like that.
Therefore, no matter how much everyone pressed her, Zhen Huan would never tell the real reason why she had angered the emperor last night.
Instead, he directed the blame to Shen Meizhuang.
These two are really good sisters.
After listening to Lan Shizi's retelling, Fat Orange did not hide his gloating at all.
Later, in order to unlock new tricks, Fat Orange, who knew the routine of PUA very well, asked Lan Shizi to reduce Zhen Huan's expenses. And this time it was even more excessive than before, not only the food was not good, but also other aspects were reduced.
For the next six months, Fat Orange never set foot in Suiyuxuan again.
