Chapter 2904 I think I've seen you somewhere
Shi Li's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
But in front of the emperor, she didn't dare show the slightest bit of emotion and left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a stern face.
Outside the palace were still the young eunuchs who used to work with him. They looked at each other and then continued to stand in their positions as invisible people.
Only occasionally could one hear the emperor's joyful laughter wafting from the Yangxin Palace, mixed with the woman's scolding and soft words.
Shi Li: ...
Suddenly I thought of a saying: an old house on fire cannot be put out.
It has only been three days and the emperor has become so abnormal. This Concubine Chen is truly not an ordinary person.
Shi Li lowered her head slightly, but used all her peripheral vision to look at the barrage that suddenly appeared.
[So, this Chen Concubine is considered successful now? ]
[What kind of success is that? Now I am just a woman who is loved in vain...]
[Yes, I should hurry up and give birth to a son to see if he can usurp the throne! ]
The comments seemed to be very concerned about what kind of path Chen Concubine could take with the Emperor, and the topic of discussion always revolved around her.
Shi Li also learned a lot from their words.
For example, Concubine Chen traveled through time with the purpose of proving that her charm far surpassed that of the previous queen and that she could control the emperor with applause.
Shi Li: ...
If she remembered correctly, the emperor and the empress were childhood sweethearts, young couples, and friends who supported each other through thick and thin. The empress was even the emperor's white moonlight in his youth, right?
This needs to be dismantled too?
Don't be too keen on being the guy between two and four, okay?
Shi Li was so amazed that she couldn't help but look back at the Yangxin Palace. There was still laughter, just like the emperor and his favored concubine interacting in their daily life.
Before, Shi Li had already managed to get a job as a servant in the Yangxin Palace, but now because of the appearance of Concubine Chen, not only did she have to go back outside the palace, but even the chief steward had to stand outside with them half of the time as punishment.
The emperor liked to be alone with Concubine Chen and would drive everyone out from time to time.
On the third day, the recovered prince came to the palace to ask for an audience.
This was also the first time the prince met Concubine Chen in person.
Although she had been recuperating in the East Palace before, it was impossible for the prince not to know that the emperor was so special to a woman.
Now that I saw the real person, I was dazed for a moment.
Besides looking younger, even the Crown Prince felt that he had seen the late Queen at the first sight.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Concubine Chen was calm. She just nodded to the Crown Prince and continued to stand beside the Emperor.
The prince just withdrew his gaze and continued talking to the emperor.
Normally, when the father and son talk, they would talk for at least half a day, ranging from major events in the past dynasty to daily life, regardless of the topic.
But today is different.
The emperor only asked about the prince's health, and perfunctorily asked him to rest up, and then sent him away.
The prince was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Chenpin again, with a complicated expression, but he still bowed and said, "Your son will take his leave."
It started drizzling outside again, but the emperor was busy talking to Concubine Chen and didn't care about the prince's departure.
This time, even the steward standing outside did not hold an umbrella for the prince.
“Are these people too snobbish?”
Shi Li muttered to herself, then chased after him with an umbrella in hand.
"His Royal Highness."
The prince stopped when he heard the voice, and smiled slightly when he saw Shi Li, "It's you, thank you."
Shi Li handed him the umbrella and said, "Your Highness has just recovered, so you need to pay more attention."
"Okay, I remember."
The prince took the umbrella, still with a kind smile on his face.
Shi Li just stood there, watching the prince slowly walk out of the palace. His back looked a little lonely.
After that, the emperor seemed to give all his attention to Concubine Chen.
The previous dynasty and the harem made all kinds of special exceptions for Concubine Chen, and even promoted her from a concubine to a virtuous concubine, one of the four concubines, within half a month.
This speed of promotion not only broke all precedents, but there is no second example in the entire history.
The opposite of this is the decline of the prince's status.
Although everyone knows that the former dynasty is the former dynasty and the harem is the harem.
But everyone also knows that the high status of the prince is closely related to the late queen. Now that Concubine Chen has appeared, the prince seems to have become an ordinary prince, not the important prince as before.
But as long as the prince is the prince, no one dares to have any other thoughts.
But all this delicate balance was suddenly broken after a month.
Concubine Chen was diagnosed with pregnancy by the imperial physician.
