Chapter 269: Concubine Yi flatters Xiyue; Ma enters the palace to accompany the birth
Rong Pei did not tell Ruyi about this, and Ruyi did not remember such an episode.
The day after Zhang Changzai served the emperor in bed, she was promoted to noble lady and given the title Yue.
Concubine Yi has changed her personality these days and has started to curry favor with Concubine Hui.
One day she brought a bottle of scented oil to offer to Gao Xiyue.
"Meet Her Majesty Huifei."
Gao Xiyue waved her hand and said, "Excuse me, what is Concubine Yi doing in Xianfu Palace?"
Concubine Yi chuckled and said, "Don't misunderstand, Concubine Hui. My hometown, Yu's, is famous for its fragrant oil. Pregnant women can apply it on their bellies to prevent stretch marks."
"This is what I used when I was pregnant. Look at my belly, is there nothing?" As she said this, she unbuttoned her clothes and lifted up her bellyband to show Gao Xiyue.
Gao Xiyue nodded: "Yes, Concubine Yi is thoughtful."
She gestured to Moxin to accept the sesame oil, but Moxin slipped and knocked over the bottle.
Mo Xin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was really my carelessness."
Anyone could see that she did it on purpose.
Concubine Yi: "It's okay, I still have some. I'll send it to Concubine Hui another day."
Gao Xiyue rubbed her head and said, "Oh, my head hurts so much. Concubine Yi, I won't keep you here. Let's talk another day."
Concubine Yi stood up and took her leave.
Xiuxin asked Yipin: "Your Majesty, why are you trying to curry favor with Huifei? You see, she doesn't want to be close to you at all."
Concubine Yi sighed, "Oh, I don't want to either, but who else can I rely on in this palace?"
"The Queen doesn't like me. Apart from her, Concubine Hui is the most favored. If she gives birth to a prince, it will be completely different."
Xiuxin: "Is Concubine Hui really pregnant with a prince? What about the eldest prince?"
"This is not something we should worry about. If we can really rely on Concubine Hui, then my Yongxuan will also have a chance."
Mo Xin asked Gao Xiyue: "My dear, do you think Concubine Yi will figure it out?"
Gao Xiyue: "She must have seen through it. I don't believe her. Don't accept anything from her in the future."
Mo Xin nodded: "Yes, Master, I will remember it."
"By the way, my Lord, the Emperor has granted your mother permission to enter the palace to accompany you during your birth."
Gao Xiyue: "When will mother arrive?"
"We should be almost at the palace gate now."
Gao Xiyue had previously written a letter to her younger brother Gao Heng, asking him to send someone to protect their mother at all times. In the letter, she asked her father to keep a low profile and not offend anyone.
Gao Bin actually still loved her very much, and he also wrote a letter back to reassure her.
When Ma arrived at the palace gate, Hailancha met her. He bowed and said, "Madam Gao, how are you? You've had a hard journey. Concubine Hui's people have been waiting for you."
Wei Yingning came and waited an hour ago.
She bowed to Madam Ma and said, "Greetings, Madam. I am Wei Yingning, the head of Xianfu Palace. Concubine Hui has been eager to see you."
Ma bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, young lady. Is Concubine Hui okay?"
"Okay, everything is fine. The Emperor has specifically ordered that you be allowed to enter the palace two months early to accompany the Empress during her delivery."
Ma nodded: "Your Majesty is merciful."
The emperor specially gave a sedan chair to Ma.
Wei Yingning helped her into Xianfu Palace. Ma couldn't help but sigh, "This Xianfu Palace is truly luxurious."
"Well, Madam, the Emperor is very fond of our master, and the Emperor Gao also praises him often."
Ma's eyes were full of relief.
When I entered the main hall, I saw Gao Xiyue waiting there eagerly.
