Chapter 313: 9-year-old is a fake eunuch (6)
"Empress, why are you here? You didn't seem very energetic this morning. Why don't you take a rest for a while?"
Probably because of the possibility of marriage, Concubine Shu was very attentive to Bai Chi, and her face was smiling so much that it looked like a flower.
But when the other party came towards him enthusiastically and even grabbed his arm to go in, Bai Chi's whole body stiffened.
He had never been in such close contact with anyone, especially a woman.
But looking at it again, I feel a little complicated.
Although Shufei was pregnant, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she had been in the palace for several years. When Liu Shaoming was still the prince, she entered the palace and became the prince's concubine.
The women in the harem are all about the same age. The oldest is a beauty who followed Liu Shaoming a long time ago and is only in her twenties now.
There were also many concubines who were sixteen or seventeen years old.
These girls, who were in their prime, were trapped within the narrow palace walls at an early age, and became tools for their families to gain access to imperial power.
Bai Chi sighed in his heart, exerted a little force on his hands, broke free from Shufei's hand, and signaled to Shufei's personal maid beside him.
"Hurry up and help your mistress. She is already pregnant, and I heard she sprained her foot. Please take good care of her. The imperial physician will be here soon. Let him take a look at her."
Then he quietly distanced himself from others. Although he felt pity for them, he was not used to being too close to others.
Concubine Shu didn't think much about it and was supported by her maid with a smile on her face.
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I'm fine. I just twisted it a little. I just applied some cold water and it doesn't hurt that much."
"Just because you're okay now doesn't mean it won't be red and swollen later, so you'd better be careful."
Not long after the two of them sat down, the imperial physician came and checked Concubine Shu's sprain, and found that it was indeed not serious. He left a few plasters and quickly left.
Bai Chi secretly checked it and found that there was nothing wrong with the plaster.
I watched too many palace fighting dramas and read too many novels in the last world, and I always feel that this palace is full of dangers.
"Xiao Hei, please pay attention to the pregnant concubines and princes and princesses in the palace, so that they don't get tricked by others."
'Meow, good master.'
Surveillance is not difficult, and screens were quickly lined up. Fortunately, it is a system that can monitor as many screens as possible.
"Meow, by the way, Master, your voice is not that of a daughter. How come no one except Liu Shaoming suspects it, meow?"
'It's normal. I can speak more softly. Plus, people have preconceived notions that my voice isn't gentle or soft enough, and that's not unusual.'
Besides, no one has stipulated that women must speak softly and there are many loud and rough women on the street. The prime minister's eldest daughter has a good reputation, so naturally no one would doubt her.
Xiao Hei was skeptical, but seeing that Concubine Shu was talking to her master happily, he never doubted her master's gender even though there was only a small coffee table between them.
Maybe humans are really easy to deceive, Xiao Hei thought.
Bai Chi did not stay in Concubine Shu's palace for too long. He found an opportunity to take Concubine Shu's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her body and the fetus was also fine. He then quickly found an excuse to leave.
Afterwards, Bai Chi visited several other pregnant concubines and had a meal in the palace of one of them. He also went to the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Kitchen to take a look. When he returned to his Changchun Palace, it was almost dark.
The imperial kitchen just delivered dinner. There are dozens of dishes for each person. It is really a luxury. No wonder those people in TV dramas are trying their best to climb up the social ladder.
This table full of exquisite delicacies was too luxurious and did not match the empty and monotonous Changchun Palace at all.
I remember that although dinner is usually extravagant, it’s not as wasteful as today, right?
But Bai Chi soon found out the reason.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
The eunuch's voice was still outside Changchun Palace, and Liu Shaoming's footsteps had already reached the door.
"Has the Queen had her meal yet? I told my subordinates this afternoon that we should have our meal at the Queen's Changchun Palace tonight."
The Dog Emperor is here.
