Chapter 702: Concubine Chen has fallen out of favor
the next day.
Day three.
The emperor turned over the name card of Concubine Chun again and bestowed countless precious rewards on her.
Treasures like flowing water were sent into Shuixi Pavilion.
After this matter spread, it caused an uproar in the harem!
Because Your Majesty rarely, very rarely, favors the same concubine for three nights in a row.
Looking around, only Concubine Chen received such treatment when she first entered the palace.
Many people in the palace had originally speculated that Concubine Chun and Concubine Chen were both charming types, and compared to Concubine Chen, she was more exotic and fresh.
If Your Majesty falls in love with Concubine Chun, she will most likely replace Concubine Chen.
Now it seems that their guess was correct.
For a moment, some people lamented and wondered why they did not have such appearance and temperament?
Maybe they can be as favored as Concubine Chun. Given time, it is not impossible for them to reach the position that Concubine Chen is in now.
Some people are worried that if this continues, His Majesty will really only remember Concubine Chun and not Concubine Chen...
Some people are jealous. To put it bluntly, Concubine Chun is just a tribute. Why does she receive such favor?
There were also many unfavored concubines who, sensing the new trend in the harem, flocked to Shuixi Pavilion, wanting to make friends with Concubine Chun.
Maybe, she could meet His Majesty here by chance.
One of the purposes of Concubine Chun entering the palace was to muddy the waters of the harem, so she naturally accepted everyone who came. In just a few days, she made a lot of "friends" in the harem.
There was no one else in the inner room. Yingxiang stood behind Concubine Chun, her face full of excitement!
As she was dressing Concubine Chun, she said, "My lady has been silent for so long since entering the palace. Finally, His Majesty's heart has fallen on you."
"This is the meaning of keeping silent but making a splash! My young lady is worthy of being the most outstanding student in the noble lady's teaching class!"
Nangong Xuanyu wants to pamper a woman, no matter it is sincere or fake, he can pamper her to the sky.
Looking at the room full of gorgeous treasures, Concubine Chun also clearly felt the emperor's favor for her.
But so what? Her heart will always belong to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and it is impossible for her to be moved by the emperor!
In the harem, it was common even for favored empresses and concubines to not see His Majesty for more than half a month.
Only Concubine Chen is different. No matter how busy His Majesty is with government affairs, he will always find time to go to Zhongcui Palace every two or three days to visit her and the Fourth Prince.
But this time, ten days passed, and His Majesty did not step into the Zhongcui Palace...
This is simply an unprecedented situation!
In addition, His Majesty's favor for Concubine Chun is almost as much as when Concubine Chen first entered the palace.
There are more and more rumors in the harem that Concubine Chen has fallen out of favor and Concubine Chun is going to take her place.
Concubine Sun couldn't sit still anymore and went to the main hall to visit Shen Zhinian.
She was also afraid that if she brought up the matter rashly, it would make her sister, Concubine Chen, unhappy.
Concubine Sun hesitated for a long time, and finally just called out: "Sister Concubine Chen..."
Seeing the worry between Concubine Sun's brows, Shen Zhinian knew what she wanted to say.
She smiled faintly at Concubine Sun and said gently, "It's okay."
In a relationship, the one who makes the most noise represents the more restless one is inside.
Shen Zhinian has worked hard for so long, even if Nangong Xuanyu is infatuated with Chun Guiren, it is impossible for him to suddenly become cold towards her.
Moreover, he loved the Fourth Prince so much, how could it be possible that he would not even come to visit the Fourth Prince because of his fondness for Concubine Chun?
It can only be said that Nangong Xuanyu did it on purpose.
How childish!
This is a game between Shen Zhinian and Nangong Xuanyu. Whoever bows first will lose.
The competition is about which side can keep calm more.
Seeing Shen Zhinian's calm and composed look, Concubine Sun gradually put her mind at ease.
That's right, Concubine Chen now has a prince, status, and position, and she is by her side. What does it matter if His Majesty doesn't come?
Is there anyone in the harem who dares to deduct the share of Concubine Chen's sister? That would be like an old man hanging himself - he thinks his life is too long!
Thinking of this, Concubine Sun felt much better and started chatting with Shen Zhinian about other topics.
……
Changchun Palace.
Ruoli waited on Concubine Liang for dinner, with a gloating look in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have said long ago that Concubine Chen is not worthy of her position."
"In terms of qualifications and so on, how can she compare to you? She actually surpassed you and sat on the position of imperial concubine!"
"Well now, the backlash has come, hasn't it? Your Majesty has fallen in love with the newcomer and has forgotten about her in the blink of an eye."
"I want to see how long she can stay on the throne of the Imperial Concubine!"
Listening to Ruoli's words, Concubine Liang shook her head helplessly: "I have told you a long time ago that you can't just look at the surface of things."
"Do you really think that His Majesty doesn't care about Concubine Chen? In my opinion, His Majesty cares too much about her!"
This time, Ruoli didn't understand: "Huh?"
"My lady, what do you mean?"
"If Your Majesty cared about Concubine Chen, why would he go against his usual behavior and ignore her for so many days, even refusing to see the Fourth Prince?"
"Everyone in the palace is saying that Concubine Chen is going to fall out of favor..."
Concubine Liang put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up a handkerchief from the tray beside her, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Noble Concubine Chen is the biological mother of the Fourth Prince, and she has just been promoted to the position of Noble Concubine. She has done nothing wrong, so how could His Majesty suddenly dislike her?"
"Let's take a step back and say that, given His Majesty's personality, even if he is really obsessed with Concubine Chun, Concubine Chen is the biological mother of the Fourth Prince, and His Majesty can't really disregard the dignity of mother and son. No matter how much he likes Concubine Chun, he will go to Zhongcui Palace every now and then to prevent others from looking down on the Fourth Prince."
"It is precisely because His Majesty acted so abnormally this time that it proves the turmoil in his heart. His Majesty is probably... angry with Concubine Chen because of something."
Ruoli said "Oh" with a look of disappointment on her face: "I just don't like Concubine Chen. She entered the palace later, but she always outshines you."
"I didn't expect that she still holds a significant position in His Majesty's heart..."
"Your Majesty, can't we use this incident to make things difficult for Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen?"
Concubine Liang looked at Ruoli helplessly: "You, you."
"Didn't I tell you long ago that I only wish for the sisters in the harem to live in harmony?"
"What I am most worried about now is that Concubine Chun and Concubine Chen will have a quarrel over this matter, and thus become unhappy."
"Ruoli, you will take my reward to Shuixi Pavilion later. Tell Concubine Chun not to be arrogant because of the rumors in the harem, which are disrespectful to Concubine Chen."
"If Concubine Chen makes things difficult for Concubine Chun in the future, I will also help her."
"I only hope that the harem will be of one mind and serve His Majesty well!"
