Chapter 2908 I think I've seen you somewhere
Concubine Chen’s smile is really beautiful.
Even though she was not a stunningly beautiful woman, her smile gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. Even Shi Li couldn't help but be dazed when looking at her.
She originally thought that it was sad for such an innocent woman to be involved in the deep palace, but the sudden appearance of barrages and some information that she could not understand broke her thoughts.
[System, this White Moonlight Simulator is really useful, can it be upgraded? ]
[Unable to upgrade for the time being, host, you'd better be more restrained. 】
[What are you afraid of? Look at how the emperor treats me now. I am not afraid of Empress Zhu or the crown prince! ]
Shi Li blinked and tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart.
What she just heard seemed to be a conversation between Concubine Chen and the system? !
So, the Concubine Chen that all of them saw was actually just imitating the late queen?
Shi Li didn't dare to say anything and looked at Concubine Chen again. Not sure if it was a psychological effect or she really didn't hide it well, but her eyes showed three parts of calculation and seven parts of disdain.
"It's all my duty. Please don't embarrass me, Your Majesty." Shi Li bowed modestly, not wanting Concubine Chen to focus on him at all.
Concubine Chen smiled and said nothing more. She lowered her head and took small sips of the bird's nest that had gone through numerous inspections and poison tests before being brought to her.
Her current status and position is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, so she gets the best food and everything she uses.
But this was not what she wanted. After traveling here, Concubine Chen had only one goal - to defeat Queen Zhu and her prince, and to become the one praised in history books.
It sounds nice to say, but to put it bluntly, they have not yet escaped the vicious circle of female competition.
If she really had ambition, she should not focus on comparing herself with Queen Zhu, but think about how to become the empress.
Because Shi Li was assigned to sit next to Concubine Chen, she now knows many things that she had not heard before.
For example, although the emperor liked to be alone with Concubine Chen, Shi Li was close to him and could occasionally hear their sporadic conversations.
The more I heard, the more frightened I became.
Perhaps Concubine Chen, as a person involved in the situation, did not notice it, but Shi Li could hear that the emperor was always inadvertently trying to guide her, making her say many advanced concepts and science that only exist in modern times without realizing it.
In the relationship between the emperor and his concubine, everyone thought that the emperor was obsessed with Concubine Chen, but Shi Li now felt that this was not the case.
She even came up with an even bolder and more terrifying guess.
For the sake of his own life, he could only pretend that he knew nothing about it and be a good and honest eunuch.
As spring passed and autumn came, Concubine Chen's belly grew bigger day by day.
The prince still stayed in the Eastern Palace and could not come out. The emperor had not thought of him for a long time. However, there was a rumor in the Imperial Hospital that Concubine Chen was giving birth to a very healthy prince.
As a result, people in the court began to waver, wondering if they could change sides if Concubine Chen really gave birth to a prince, and wait for the emperor to come a hundred years later to grab the credit for following the emperor.
However, there were also some pedantic yet upright ministers who vowed to defend orthodoxy to the death and firmly supported the prince. They even repeatedly wrote petitions to the emperor, claiming that Concubine Chen was a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people.
For this reason, the emperor specially called the minister who wrote the letter to his side and questioned Chen Xianfei with a stern face about what she had done to harm the country and the people.
The ministers were speechless when asked and they only said that the prince was the eldest, the most virtuous and the legitimate son, and no one could replace him in the throne of the Crown Prince.
The emperor just listened to them talking but said nothing himself.
Afterwards, he sent everyone away and faced Concubine Chen with anticipation and gentleness, even reaching out to touch her belly.
"I also hope that you can give birth to a boy."
"I think everything is fine, as long as it's our child." Concubine Chen was as gentle and dignified as ever. She did not fight or compete in the palace, and even made the women in the harem who were originally hostile to her respect her a little more.
Some even whispered that she was on par with the late queen.
In all the time that Concubine Chen had been in the palace, she had only ever severely punished one concubine, and that was only because that person had flattered her in front of her, saying that her character, appearance, and morals were no less than those of the late queen.
Who knew that Concubine Chen would order a severe punishment, and the official explanation was that such words were disrespectful to the late queen.
But Shi Li was at the scene at that time, and she knew that the people she envied compared her to the late queen. Even though she herself knew that she relied on cheating in the late queen simulator, she still didn't want others to mention it.
But in order to maintain her image, she found a plausible reason.
People are so hypocritical.
The longer Shi Li stayed with Concubine Chen, the more she realized this.
In addition to owning a system, she seemed to have opened a live broadcast room, but the room did not seem to belong to her. Everything was done by accident. Anyway, mystery and unknown were revealed everywhere.
Shi Li thought about herself and felt that the world is full of wonders.
