Chapter 233 Rejection
Chapter 233 Rejection
"Aunt Jingfeng, help me up and go back to the bedroom."
Bai Liangyu was sitting in the main hall of Nanxun Palace. She watched from afar as Xiaoji's figure disappeared in front of the palace gate. After a while, she raised her slender wrist, put her hand on her forehead, covering her eyebrows, and spoke softly.
"Selected Concubine, you finally have a chance to meet your family outside the palace, why do you refuse?
On weekdays, except for festivals and banquets in the palace, the concubines in the harem could see their relatives from their natal families. Only after they were promoted to the rank of concubine would they have the opportunity to order the summons of their natal families with the permission of the empress.
But that was just a one-time visit, not like accompanying a mother during childbirth, where you stay for two months."
Not only Xiaoji was puzzled, Jingfeng also felt confused.
As the head aunt of Nanxun Palace, Jingfeng has been assisting Bai Liangyu in managing the personnel and affairs of Nanxun Palace. She knows the richness of the dowry that Bai Liangyu brought into the palace.
Logically speaking, with such a rare and generous dowry, Concubine Bai should be very much loved and valued by the elders in her family.
Concubine Li did not have a dowry as generous as Concubine Bai.
Not to mention that concubines trust their natal family members more, so they ask their natal elders to accompany and take charge, in order to guard against hidden arrows shot by other villains in the palace when they are unable to give birth.
Just talking about emotions, a daughter who is loved at home should also want to see her family.
At first glance, Concubine Bai's excuse for refusing her natal elders to enter the palace to accompany her during childbirth sounded reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, Jing Feng shook his head in his heart.
"Aunt Jingfeng, don't you believe what I just said to Miss Xiaoji?"
"Miss Xiaoji is someone close to the Empress. What you say to her is actually for the Empress to hear, so you must say it in a nice way."
Bai Liangyu lowered her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, raised her eyes and smiled.
"Aunt Jingfeng, please go and bring my pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Danzhu has been staring at me in the small kitchen, and she must be tired."
"Slave, go now."
After Jingfeng left, Bai Liangyu walked silently to the window sill, looked up at the clear blue sky with white clouds floating outside the window, tears welled up in her eyes, the scenery gradually became blurred, and tears slowly rolled in her eyes.
Bai Liangyu blinked hard, tears rolled down and sank into her clothes. She gently wiped away the traces from the corners of her eyes.
Haggard?
It should be excitement. Thinking of his "aunt"'s excitement and joy after returning home, Bai Liangyu felt uncomfortable.
If her "aunt" came to the palace to accompany her during childbirth, but didn't stay in Nanxun Palace to help keep an eye on everything inside and outside, and go to Yueshi Palace to visit Li Xihua and the third prince every now and then, she would be disgusted.
Rather than making yourself feel bad, it’s better not to see it.
She has now been demoted by His Majesty to the lowest rank of concubine, and does not want to be lectured by her biased "aunt".
When she becomes a real favorite concubine and can keep Li Xihua under her feet, she will be willing to do her "aunt" the honor of coming to the palace to pay her a visit.
"Selected concubine, the pregnancy-preserving medicine is here."
Bai Liangyu slowly turned around and gently reprimanded, "Be careful not to knock over the medicine, or I'll have you watch the fire."
"My dear, I won't bump into you. This medicine is boiling. I dare not even look away, let alone walk away. It's very simmering. I am very careful and dare not bump into you."
Seeing Danzhu holding the medicine and walking towards the bed, Bai Liangyu stopped her and said, "Don't take the medicine to the bedside, just put it on the table. I want to sit down for a while."
Bai Liangyu sat down. Danzhu looked at Bai Liangyu with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and moved his lips several times.
"Selected Concubine, Sister Jingfeng just told me that you refused your family members to accompany you during childbirth. She said that you looked a little sad and asked me to comfort you. Do you regret it?
If you regret it, we can go to the Pepper Room and tell the Queen that you have changed your mind. The Queen seems to be a good person, and she should be able to understand you. I heard from the old people that the thoughts of pregnant women are like the weather in June, and they are what they think. It’s okay to regret it.”
After Danzhu finished speaking, he looked at Bai Liangyu eagerly.
Bai Liangyu sneered.
"What do you mean by June? I'm just pregnant, not having a sex change.
I may regret it a little bit, but if you ask me one time, three times, or even ten times, I will still refuse.
My aunt was not used to the rules of the palace. She had to perform formalities whenever she met any concubine or princess, which made her very tired.
What's more, I feel relieved that you and Aunt Jingfeng are here in Nanxun Palace."
