Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 217 Seeing Red

"My dear, the weather is great today. The sun is warm but not scorching, and the breeze is gentle. Do you want to go out and bask in the sun? It's not good to lie down all the time. The doctor said that the baby in your belly has settled down. You need to walk more so that you can give birth in the future."

"Alright."

Bai Liangyu stood up carefully, protecting her five-month-old belly. Danzhu stepped forward and held her arm.

"Aunt Jingfeng has been in the palace for so many years. Has she ever served a pregnant concubine?"

Bai Liangyu, Jingfeng and Danzhu were walking slowly in the courtyard of Nanxun Palace.

"That's not the case. The late emperor's harem had few children. When the late emperor was alive, I was just a young maid who had just entered the palace. How could I, a little girl in my early teens, be qualified to serve a pregnant concubine?

Later, as I grew older, I was able to become the head maid in charge of our Nanxun Palace by relying on my seniority."

"Sister Jingfeng, is it difficult for palace maids to be promoted? I also want to be a female official." Danzhu asked, turning her head while looking at the high platform in the imperial garden in the distance.

“It’s neither difficult nor easy, it all depends on one’s luck and ability.

Miss Danzhu was not a palace maid who entered the palace when she was young, so she didn't know about the fights among the palace maids.

Just like the steps of that high platform, step by step, palace maids want to become female officials, and female officials want to be promoted, so there will be struggles everywhere.

The concubines at the lower levels in the palace are much less restrained in their fighting than those at the higher levels. The ladies have family backgrounds and good upbringing, so even if they fight, they do it in a decent manner.

But the people in the palace are fighting with each other..." Jing Feng said, shaking his head.

"For someone like you, Miss Danzhu, your future depends entirely on the concubine. You don't have to worry about anything else. The right thing to do is to concentrate on serving the concubine. When the concubine is promoted to empress, your status will naturally rise as well.

Apart from visible and invisible status, the most noteworthy thing in the palace is power.

Once the mistress gets her share of the palace power and gets involved in palace affairs, even if it's a small one, the palace maids she trusts will naturally be able to take up official positions. Only with positions can they be promoted.

Those who have masters in this palace and are trusted by their masters will naturally be promoted faster than those without masters."

Bai Liangyu listened quietly to Jingfeng talking about the palace maids and eunuchs. If you want to bribe people, you can't escape the words power and money.

She insisted on entering the palace, and Li Ren'an and his wife did not withhold half of the Li family's wealth and Mrs. Li's entire dowry as her support.

Bai Liangyu's status was not high, but the dowry she brought into the palace was much larger than that of Yu Sheyue, who was of noble status.

During the days when she was protecting her pregnancy, His Majesty did not visit her, and she lived a more comfortable life relying on the generous financial support.

Of course, the baby in her belly also contributed a little. Bai Liangyu gently stroked her pregnant belly, looking forward to the birth of the prince in her belly.

"Who would pass by our Nanxun Palace wearing such a thick layer of perfume powder? The smell is too strong."

"Selected concubine, Concubine Li is here. She said that she was worried that you would be bored in seclusion, so she came to keep you company and relieve your boredom." The eunuch in front of the palace gate reported.

Bai Liangyu frowned, disgust flashing in his eyes.

"I said I was bedridden and couldn't see you. When I feel better, I will go to the Moon Room Palace to apologize to Lady Li."

"Let's go back to the bedroom." She covered her nose and turned away, fearing that the incense might be mixed with musk or something harmful to pregnant women.

Bai Liangyu really didn't trust Li Xihua's brain. When other people took action, the first thing they would do was to get themselves out of it, but Li Xihua might not be the same.

When Li Xihua was at home, she dared to bribe outsiders to kill her.

When she was selected to stay in the palace, Li Xihua could not help but go to Chuxiu Palace to cause trouble for her on the first day, and also offended Yu Sheyue in passing.

Now that she is pregnant, who knows if Li Xihua will bump into her directly.

Meeting Li Xihua? Not worth it.

"Go and have someone lock the main door outside the palace, and tell the Queen that I am weak and the fetus is a little unstable, so I will stay in the palace until the birth is over."

"My concubine, the imperial physician usually reports to the Empress Dowager after checking my pulse. The imperial physician just said that your pregnancy is stable. What if the Empress Dowager asks why?"

"If the Queen asks the reason, just tell her that I was walking around the palace today and I smelled the scent of Lady Li, which made me anxious. After I went back to rest for a while, I started bleeding, and I boiled the remaining abortion-preserving medicine."

"Jingfeng, go call a doctor over."
