Chapter 356: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Five)
Logically speaking, she is now bearing children for the royal family. Even if the emperor does not love her, he should consider her feelings and accept the meal.
But the emperor simply asked the palace maid who delivered the soup and pastries to come back without even doing any superficial work.
How did she anger His Majesty?
Ji Wei never expected that Emperor Liang felt that he was in a turmoil. Even if Ji Wei was really pregnant with his child, he would feel annoyed and upset, so he simply isolated Ji Wei from his sight.
Le Chang followed the instructions, and every time Ji Wei sent someone, they were sent away directly without even being notified to Emperor Liang.
Le Chang was a very popular figure around Emperor Liang, and his attitude sometimes represented the attitude of Emperor Liang.
The other palace maids were very good at observing people's words and expressions. When they found out that Concubine Ji was pregnant and not favored, they would not flatter her at all.
In the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would give her whatever she wanted, even if it did not meet the requirements of her position.
When she was still Zhaoyi, she could enjoy the treatment of a concubine because she was pregnant, but now that she has been granted the title of concubine, she cannot exceed her position.
It would have been fine if her treatment had not been improved to that of a royal concubine, but now, no matter the newly delivered cloth, fruit, charcoal, or meals, none of them were to her liking!
The colors of silk and mink are old-fashioned. They are suitable for Queen Mother Cui to wear, but she is too young to wear them at all!
She can’t eat the golden bird’s nest and red date snow bird’s nest that she wants to eat every day!
Although she sometimes wouldn't eat bird's nest and would just give it to the palace maids, that wasn't a reason for the imperial kitchen not to make it. It was only delivered once every three days!
What's even more hateful is that one time her maid went to the imperial kitchen to get food, and when she saw the Tremella and Snow Bird Soup, she was about to take it away, but was stopped by the people in the imperial kitchen. They said that it was prepared for Ming Zhaoyi, and if she wanted to eat it, they would make it for her tomorrow.
Ji Wei was irritated by these little things. When she could no longer bear it, she summoned the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department and the steward of the Imperial Kitchen, but she ran into a cold nail. The arrogant eunuch of the Imperial Household Department was not afraid that she would tell the emperor and the empress!
Moreover, the queen no longer showed her special care like before. Those endless rewards had ceased to come to her since the New Year's Eve palace banquet!
As for telling the Queen Mother Cui about the grievances she had suffered, Ji Wei didn't even have to think about it. The Queen Mother Cui was not the emperor's biological mother, and her heart must be on Cui Li's side. She might even hope that she would have a hard life, and it would be best if she couldn't give birth to twins, so as to avoid competing with Cui Li's children for power, status, and glory.
Because of her heroic rescue of the emperor, Ji Mingyue was named Ming Zhaoyi, replacing her previous position, and continued to use the title "Ming".
But what about her?
There was no reward at all, and instead he was targeted!
Geng Feiluan still wanted Ji Wei to help him, which was just a "daydream".
Ji Wei couldn't understand the reason and was worried about what went wrong with her. How could she possibly think of the unknown man named Geng who was disliked by the emperor?
It was also because Ji Wei was too confident, or rather, she felt that she was the most innocent and did not think she had done anything wrong.
The emperor's cold treatment and the queen's neglect are all their fault, it's their fickleness.
Perhaps Ji Wei's self-hypnosis ability was too good. She forgot about her secret meeting with Geng Feiluan, her involvement in Ji Mingyue's attempt to save the queen's life, and even forgot that the queen's infertility was caused by her.
So when one day the Queen Mother summoned all the concubines once a month, she went without any psychological preparation.
Ji Wei's belly is more than four months old, but it doesn't look any smaller than Cui Li's six-month-old belly.
As soon as Ji Wei entered the room, she saw Cui Li talking to Queen Mother Cui upstairs.
