Chapter 557 The real owner of the old mountain ginseng is actually him
The biggest reason why she has everything now is that she has the support of a big tree.
From this we can see what a good ally Concubine Xian is!
Because of these incidents, Shen Zhinian has won over more and more people in the harem.
I don’t know how many concubines in the palace want to join her.
Even if they cannot form an alliance with Concubine Xian, as long as they can get a little protection from her, their lives in the harem will be much better.
The one who is favored by the people is not necessarily the master of the harem; but if you want to become the master of the harem, being favored by the people is an indispensable condition.
Noble Concubine Hao and Concubine Liang sat on the chairs and exchanged glances, both of them looking a little embarrassed.
If they were to tell the good news tonight, everything that Concubine Sun had obtained would be hers.
But with Concubine Sun and Zhu Yu in front, Concubine Hao stood up again and said that she was also pregnant. It seemed as if she was deliberately trying to steal the limelight from the other party, like a clown...
Moreover, His Majesty was already very pleased, so when he found out that she was pregnant now, he wouldn't be as excited as when he first heard the good news tonight.
If Concubine Hao wants to make plans for her own children, she must ensure that the royal heir is the one that His Majesty pays the most attention to from the very beginning!
Today, Concubine Sun has already taken the lead, so it is obviously not the best time.
Obviously, Concubine Liang thought the same, and they both decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
Shen Zhinian raised the wine glass to his lips, took a sip, and smiled meaningfully.
In many things, if you are a step slower, you will lose at every step!
Of course, she would not let Concubine Hao keep the news secret for too long, otherwise it would be too conspicuous if Concubine Sun was the only pregnant person in the palace.
Shen Zhinian's alcohol tolerance was not bad, and the fruit wine would not affect her. But she kept in mind that she wanted to ask about Zhao Yungui.
She gave Zhao Yungui a look, then stood up and apologized, "Your Majesty, I drank too much tonight. I'm going out to get some fresh air to sober up."
Nangong Xuanyu nodded slightly and said to Fuqiu, "Take good care of your queen."
"Yes!"
Seeing Shen Zhinian go out, Zhao Yungui immediately stood up.
Soon, the two met in the wide square outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhao Yungui first bowed according to the palace rules to avoid being caught. Then he took Shen Zhinian's hand and said with a smile: "...Sister Zhinian, the last time we met was when His Majesty held a celebration banquet for Lord Shen."
"It's been a long time since we last met. Are you doing well in the palace? How about the Fourth Prince? Is he in good health?"
Shen Zhinian felt warm in his heart and nodded, "We are all fine."
"How do you feel after getting married?"
Speaking of this, the usually carefree Zhao Yungui's ears actually blushed: "Zhou Lang, he is very good to me."
"As a military commander, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and other people in the Zhou family are all cheerful, generous, and easy to get along with."
It is actually very easy to tell whether a woman is happy after marriage.
Seeing Zhao Yungui's slightly red cheeks and the sweetness lingering in his eyes and eyebrows, Shen Zhinian knew what was going on: "That's good."
"By the way, Sister Zhao, where did that centuries-old mountain ginseng you had someone send into the palace before I gave birth to Xu come from?"
"This gift is really too precious..."
Zhao Yungui seemed a little hesitant and glanced at the palace servants beside him.
Shen Zhinian said gently, "It's okay. Fuqiu and the others are all our own people, there's nothing we can't listen to."
Zhao Yungui then lowered his voice and said, "At first, when Zhou Lang said that he was asked by someone to send the old mountain ginseng to you, no matter how I asked him, he was hesitant and couldn't explain it clearly."
"Later, after my constant persuasion and questioning, he finally revealed that the old mountain ginseng was actually the heirloom of Gu Jinxiao."
"It was Lord Gu who asked Zhou Lang to let me give it to you. Lord Gu also told me again and again that you don't need to know about this matter."
"Sister Chinen, please don't let anyone know. I was the one who said this, otherwise Zhou Lang will say I'm nosy..."
Shen Zhinian was stunned for a long time.
It’s actually Gu Jingxiao?
She never thought that the real owner of the old ginseng was actually him.
But why did Gu Jinxiao give her his heirloom?
Could it be that he knew that she helped Gu Jinxiao avoid a bad love affair?
So, he was afraid that she would be in danger during childbirth, so he asked General Zhou to do this?
But...how did Gu Jinxiao know?
Just when Shen Zhinian was puzzled, Zhao Yungui looked at her with a bit of curiosity and worry in his eyes: "Sister Zhinian, you and Lord Gu..."
She naturally understood that Sister Zhi Nian was not an imprudent person, and it was impossible for her to have any involvement with a man outside the palace. But if it wasn't for an extraordinary relationship, why would Lord Gu give away all his heirlooms?
Shen Zhinian didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
You can't say that they were mortal enemies in their previous lives, right?
Although the noble lady's teaching class had been destroyed long ago, its real owner had not yet surfaced. Shen Zhinian was afraid that Zhao Yungui would be in danger if he knew too much.
It is not appropriate to involve good friends in this matter.
"Master Gu and I are just ordinary friends."
"He did this because I once did him a favor and he wanted to repay me."
Zhao Yungui nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not, but he carefully reminded her: "Sister Zhinian, be careful and don't let anyone find out."
Shen Zhinian: "..."
She had many lovers in her previous life, but there was really nothing between her and Gu Jinxiao!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Yungui said, "Sister Zhinian, I should go back to the table. Otherwise, if I stay out for too long, Zhou Lang will get worried."
"What about you, do you want to go back with me?"
Shen Zhinian felt a little complicated and shook her head: "You go back first. I'll take a few more steps to sober up."
With so many servants around her, Zhao Yungui didn't have to worry about her safety: "Okay, I'll leave first."
Shen Zhinian was not the only one who was surprised to learn that the priceless, life-saving old mountain ginseng was actually given by Lord Gu. Fuqiu and the others could not hide their surprise either!
But a few of them knew what to say and what not to say outside, so they tactfully kept silent.
Shen Zhinian was walking slowly along the palace road, not knowing what he was thinking, when he unexpectedly met Gu Jinxiao at a corner.
The man was handsome and graceful, with a figure like a jade tree. The corners of his clothes swayed gently in the breeze, making him look even more handsome and elegant.
The hazy moonlight shone through the clouds onto him, revealing his handsome face with a hint of alienation between his cold brows.
The moment he saw Shen Zhinian, Gu Jinxiao lowered his eyes, hiding all the emotions in his eyes, and bowed: "Your Highness, I greet the virtuous concubine."
