Chapter 385 Bai Fu in the previous life
She quickly put on a smile and asked the emperor, "Has Your Majesty arrived for dinner?"
"There's always soup simmering in the small kitchen. If you're hungry, have someone make noodles or wontons and dumplings, and a couple of side dishes?"
The emperor squeezed Xie Run's hand and said in a very gentle tone, "I used it, but not well."
This sounds a bit aggrieved.
The emperor can't even eat properly.
"Now that I think about it, I was probably thinking about the midnight snacks from your small kitchen."
Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke with her, Xie Run calmed down and said, "I'm a little greedy too."
The emperor turned around and looked at Taotao who was following behind him.
Xie Run hurriedly said, "Taotao can't eat anymore. He ate too much tonight, and I was worried he'd get too full, so I specially asked someone to take him out to play."
The emperor smiled and said, "If you don't let him eat it, he'll start to ask for it when he smells it."
Xie Run said seriously, "I won't give it to you even if you make a fuss. As long as the emperor doesn't show any mercy, he won't make a fuss."
The emperor laughed and said, "I will never speak tonight."
Sure enough, when Taotao smelled the fragrance of the food, he couldn't sit still and looked at Xie Run eagerly.
Xie Run asked the nanny to take him downstairs to sleep.
Taotao immediately ran to the emperor and acted coquettishly.
The Emperor: "Father has to listen to your mother now, so I dare not plead for you."
Taotao looked at her father, then at her mother who showed no emotion at all, and immediately burst into tears out of grievance.
After crying for a while, seeing that no one felt sorry for her, she lay down on her little bed and fell asleep.
The emperor laughed: "I thought you would be soft-hearted."
Xie Run looked at the emperor doubtfully: "I am not the kind of person who likes to spoil children."
"Taotao is growing up now. If we don't set up rules, it will be difficult to teach him in the future."
The emperor picked up a piece of goose meat for Xie Run with his chopsticks and said, "I heard that you like this recently. I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it carefully tomorrow."
Xie Run laughed. If the emperor didn't give instructions, how could the imperial kitchen dare not be careful?
But she still took it with a smile, her tone a little teasing, "Then I thank the emperor very much."
The emperor looked at her for a long time before he smiled and said, "You're becoming more mischievous!"
Xie Run was bewildered.
And she always felt that the way the emperor looked at her tonight was... a little coquettish.
In the evening, the emperor was a little restless, and his hand was always on Xie Run's waist.
"I heard that after March, you don't have to be so restrained."
Xie Run: “…”
She was right. The emperor was indeed a little agitated tonight.
There was a large group of beauties in the harem waiting for his favor, but he ignored them and instead ran to her, a pregnant woman.
Not normal, not normal at all!
While sleeping soundly at night, Xie Run had a dream.
I dreamed that she saw Bai Fu's life from a third-person perspective.
When she was young, she was a childhood playmate of the emperor and was also a girl from a noble and wealthy family.
However, as Concubine Ling fell out of favor, the life of the unsuccessful men in the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness became more and more difficult.
The marriage that was arranged when the family was prosperous almost became a death warrant when it fell into decline.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to live until the emperor ascended the throne, and she was still within the age limit for the selection.
Her family hoped that she would have a bright future, so they spent a lot of money to prepare for her entry into the palace.
Unfortunately, the harem was in turmoil at that time and it was extremely dangerous.
The Imperial Concubine Fang and the Virtuous Concubine Wan fought fiercely, and the concubines under them were either dead or sick. In total, only two princes survived, and one of them was seriously ill.
After entering the palace, Bai Fu witnessed with her own eyes the ostentatious Ming Meiren being beaten with a stick outside Yongning Palace.
The cries of crying and screaming were accompanied by blood blurring her eyes.
Later, Ming Meiren became seriously ill, critically ill, and finally died.
Bai Fu was shocked and lived cautiously from then on.
Not long after, Concubine De Wan fell into disgrace and was executed, leaving Concubine Gui Fang and her family in power.
The entire harem became Fang's world.
That night, the emperor turned over her card.
Just after dinner, someone came from Concubine Fang's palace and said that the second prince refused to eat and was making a fuss to see the emperor.
At that time, the eldest prince in the palace died early, the second prince was the eldest, the third prince's mother had just been sentenced to death, and the fourth prince was seriously ill.
The second prince is the most honorable person in the palace besides the emperor.
Bai Fu subconsciously stood up, wanting to act like a virtuous person and persuade the emperor.
But when she caught a glimpse of the emperor's expression that seemed to be half-smiling, half-happy and half-angry, Bai Fu's suppressed ambition suddenly rose up.
She is a smart person.
After staying in the palace for a while, I vaguely understood the situation.
Although the emperor dotes on Concubine Fang, he definitely does not want to see Concubine Fang's family dominate the power.
Moreover, Concubine De Wan had dirty hands and was punished by the emperor, and her end was extremely miserable.
Imperial Concubine Fang’s hands…are never clean either.
How could the emperor, who hated the Wan family so much, really favor the Fang family?
At that moment, Bai Fu saw her opportunity.
She changed her previous cowardly and incompetent attitude and persuaded the palace maids of Yongning Palace to leave in a neither soft nor hard way.
At the same moment, she noticed that the emperor's gaze on her had changed.
Perhaps it was because it was novel, or perhaps it was a surprise, but Bai Fu still caught that hint of satisfaction.
Bai Fu instantly saw clearly what her future path should be.
She wanted to become the emperor's sword, win his trust and favor, and help him do whatever he wanted!
Bai Fu did not dare to confront Concubine Fang directly.
While testing the emperor's attitude, she also mediated with Concubine Fang without leaving any trace.
During this period, her position rose step by step.
In just half a year, she was promoted from Baolin to talented lady, beauty, and concubine.
Two months later, she was found to be pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed and promoted her to the rank of Concubine.
Fang was panicked!
In the past six months, Bai Fu has become more and more familiar with the emperor's temperament and has also gained some understanding of Fang's methods.
What Fang feared most was that a healthy prince would threaten the second prince's position.
As long as she senses a threat, she will attack without hesitation.
However, what the emperor hated most were the vicious schemes in the harem.
Bai Fu was waiting for Fang to take action!
Less than half a month later, Bai Fu had a miscarriage, and the culprit, Imperial Concubine Fang, was demoted to a concubine and given the title of Gong.
Bai Fu also took the opportunity to become one of the Nine Concubines.
Three months later, Concubine Gong bribed the palace maids to push Bai Fu into the water, and was demoted to Gong Xiurong.
In order to compensate Bai Fu, the emperor promoted her to Xiuyi, a position just above Gong Xiurong.
Later, every time Gong Xiurong made a mistake, he was demoted, and Bai Fu benefited and was promoted.
Until later, Bai Fu became pregnant for the second time.
She used the emperor's name to frame Fang, and made all the evidence prove that Fang intended to cause her miscarriage. The emperor was furious and directly demoted Fang Yuan'er to a commoner and threw her into prison.
Fang Yuaner thought that the emperor wanted her dead, and she cursed in the prison, saying that the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked, and mentioned all the things she had done to ensure the emperor's ascension to the throne.
The emperor was furious and ordered poisoned wine to take Fang Yuaner's life.
After Fang Yuan'er died, Bai Fu replaced her as the new favorite concubine in the harem.
After she gave birth to the fifth prince, she was canonized as a noble concubine and was favored for several years.
Unfortunately, Bai Fu's health was not good and she suddenly fell ill one day. Since then, she has been bedridden and recuperating, becoming increasingly weak.
Half a year later, Bai Fu died of illness in Changchun Palace before she could enjoy the treatment of a favored concubine for long.
Changchun Palace is today's Showa Palace.
