This time the imperial concubine gave birth to a prince, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed particularly strange.
Both Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen were bedridden.
The gate of Yanfu Palace is closed tightly, and people passing by are eager to take a detour.
Shoukang Palace was just the opposite, because Princess Jin's concubine, Princess Yubin, was ill and the imperial doctor was in and out all day long.
It was not a secret that the emperor sent the eldest prince's palace to take care of Princess Yubin.
Everyone in the palace knew it.
Comparing the two sides, Shoukang Palace looks really sick, while Yanfu Palace obviously has something fishy.
It was Ma Shanggong who took the decision on Concubine Jin's side regarding the great event of Yong'an Palace, and sent a generous gift to congratulate Concubine Jin.
Concubine Shen also gave a gift, but this gift was sent directly by the Inner Palace Supervisor.
From selecting to delivering it, it was all handled by the Inner Palace Supervisor on the orders of Eunuch Bai.
This made other people in the palace murmur.
Neither of the two concubines went to Yong'an Palace to congratulate them, so if they should go, they would still be the same as Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen.
But there are reasons why those two didn't go.
Concubine Jin is really sick, and the illness is not serious.
I heard people say that she can't get out of bed these days.
Otherwise, why would the emperor send people from Yong'an Palace to take care of Princess Yubing?
As for Concubine Shen, even though the Emperor didn't express her will clearly, most people could guess a little bit about it.
The Princess's Day palace banquet was the last time Concubine Shen appeared in public.
Someone died at the palace banquet.
After that, Concubine Shen became "sick" and never stepped out of Yanfu Palace again.
Some people speculated that the reason why the emperor did not deal with Concubine Shen was to gain blessings for the concubine and the child in her belly.
When the child is born, Concubine Shen may be dead.
Some people also speculated that the emperor put Concubine Shen under house arrest for the sake of dignity.
This in itself was an extremely harsh punishment.
Concubine Shen could not see anyone for the rest of her life and could not leave Yanfu Palace, which was equivalent to being thrown into the cold palace.
Now, living like this is not necessarily better than death.
It can even be said that life is worse than death.
How will we survive the next few decades?
Some people also speculate that Concubine Shen may have been secretly executed long ago.
It was only because the emperor had other plans that he kept the news of Concubine Shen's death secret.
Now the Yanfu Palace, which is closed all day long, is actually already empty.
Every day Some people mentioning the meal is just for show.
Gao Jieyu sent someone to inquire about the news early in the morning.
She heard that Princess Yuejun and others had come, as well as Princess Mingwei.
She quickly packed up and brought people to Yong'an Palace.
Gao Jieyu didn't go out for several days.
When she was dressing up and changing clothes, she felt a little at a loss in front of the mirror.
It had been a long, long time since she had seen the emperor or been summoned.
As the saying goes, a woman's appearance pleases her, and if she can't see the emperor, she will dress up in vain.
Especially in the past year or so, Gao Jieyu has experienced many turmoils, and she has no time to dress up seriously.
Danxia put down the wooden tray, which contained six or seven boxes of different styles.
"These were just delivered this month.
Master, please give it a try."
Danxia opened a box and held it closer to Gao Jieyu: "Look at the color of this rouge, how good it is.
Look and smell the fragrance. , how thick it is.”

Seeing that Gao Jieyu didn't say anything, Danxia changed another box: "This is newly made powder, very smooth."
She specially picked out a little bit and gently applied it on the back of Gao Jieyu's hand: "You Try it and see what you think.”
Gao Jieyu also understood her thoughts.
But she is too old to stand with the imperial concubine.
Even if she puts the best makeup in the world on her face, it still won't compare.
But today I went to Yong'an Palace to congratulate the emperor on the birth of another prince.
This is a great joy for the palace.
Those who look unlucky on such a happy day are not going to congratulate others, but actually going to cause trouble for them.
For the sake of face, you have to dress up carefully.
While Danxia was combing her hair into a bun, she was telling Gao Jieyu what she liked to hear.
"Master is having a great time today.
Don't look at Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen who have been trying hard to show off their prestige this year, but look at it now.
So what I advised Master last time was good.
We don't need to rush, let alone make dangerous moves.
They can do it themselves.
I’m torturing myself.”
Gao Jieyu smiled.
She liked what Danxia said.
Ever since she was humiliated by Concubine Shen in Yanfu Palace, what Gao Jieyu wanted most in her heart was to trample Concubine Shen under her feet.
It was true that the former empress and concubine Shu had humiliated her, but never had Gao Jieyu been so unbearable.
Because Concubine Shen used to be inferior to her in every way, but one day she turned around and stepped on her head.
There is another reason, which Gao Jieyu will not admit under any circumstances.
Humans are not like grass and trees.
After so many years of getting along, Gao Jieyu has long been accustomed to having such a quiet and obedient companion by her side.
They weren't even close to each other when they were in the palace.
After entering the palace, especially after the queen was gone, Concubine Shen felt like she had no one to rely on, and she was anxious to find a new supporter.
At that time, she and Gao Jieyu got closer and closer.
Gao Jieyu despised her, but at the same time, he did give her some protection when others wanted to bully her.
No matter how complicated the reasons are, there is still a hint of affection in the middle that is true.
But Gao Jieyu finally realized that she had never seen Concubine Shen's true face from beginning to end.
She was thoroughly deceived.
The silent and meek Shi Shunyi in her impression never really existed.
"Master, this hairpin is pretty good, isn't it?"
Gao Jieyu took it and looked at it: "I don't want this, I want the crabapple flower."
The imperial concubine took the lead and liked elegant and simple makeup and clothing.
Regardless of whether they liked it or not, everyone in the palace followed suit.
It's not that Gao Jieyu wanted to learn from her.
Anyway, she was already this old, and if she tried to learn from the emperor, he would never turn around and favor her.
It's just that everyone else is following suit, but she is the only one who wears heavy makeup, as if she intends to go against the imperial concubine.
That's how it is in the palace, you can't go against the superiors.
Just like the emperor doesn't like extravagance and extravagance, no one in the palace dares to waste things, at least openly.
When the Queen Mother was here, she was particularly fond of flattery, so many people prepared flattering phrases, and when they met the Queen Mother, they all rushed to please her.
Not everyone wants to get benefits from the Queen Mother, but at least the Queen Mother must not make you feel disgusted.
Danxia chose two more small flower hairpins to put on Gao Jieyu, and said with a smile: "These hairpins are unique and not ostentatious.
The master's taste is better than that of the slave."

She spoke, but Gao Jieyu did not respond.
She suddenly felt that there was something important, and it quickly passed through her mind.
When she thought about it seriously, she couldn't remember it.
"Master, do you think this is okay?"
Gao Jieyu glanced at the mirror and nodded absently: "Very good."
Danxia took the lavender silk shawl that matched the clothes and put it on Gao Jieyu, waiting for her to go out to Yong'an Palace.
Of course Gao Jieyu was not the only one who came here today, everyone with dignity in the palace also came here
