At this time, White Lotus had already made the bed. When she walked over and heard this sentence, she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Speak!" Liu Weirong's curiosity was piqued, and she hurriedly said.
"When master had just been enfeoffed, this servant's friend had accidentally bumped into the Empress Dowager's trusted aide, Nanny Liu, talking to the Imperial Consort. The Empress Dowager was planning to let the Imperial Consort adopt a prince with a low status. The Imperial Consort was very angry when she heard this and said that it wasn't like she couldn't give birth.”Xing 'er said the words out loud.
" Later, Granny Liu even mentioned Master's name. The Imperial Concubine was even angrier when she heard that and almost fainted…"
Liu Weirong's pupils constricted, suddenly remembering something she had almost forgotten.
It seemed that she had been too comfortable during this period of time and had actually forgotten about this matter.
How could she forget that after Liu Xiangya gave birth to her first son, she was carried by the Empress Dowager. She wanted to put it under Noble Consort Fang's name, but Noble Consort Fang didn't want it, but it was still put under her name in the end.
After that, in order to take back her son, Liu Xiangya had a series of battles with the Empress Dowager and Fang Zhiying.
Caress. Liu Weirong touched her flat belly and pursed her lips. A determined light shot out from his eyes.
No, she would never be the second Liu Xiangya. Her child must not be taken away!
"Xing 'er, thank you for telling me this news!”Liu Weirong looked at Xing 'er gratefully. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have thought of this.
"Mistress, don't worry. Perhaps the Empress Dowager is joking. It's not like the Imperial Consort can't give birth.”After Xing 'er finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. She felt that she shouldn't have said such baseless things.
"No, I don't think the Empress Dowager is joking. You should know that the Imperial Consort's body is weak, right?”Liu Weirong, who knew the plot, had a bitter smile on her face.
Fang Zhiying had nothing to do in the original novel. In the end, there was only a named eldest son, but Liu Xiangya took it back in the end.
The original novel was originally a melodramatic love story. At first, she was very happy to see this violent conflict plot, but when the main character was her, it was not so beautiful. Wonderful.
"This servant also feels that the Empress Dowager is not joking.”White Lotus pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Well, whether it's true or not, we'd better prepare for a rainy day.”Liu Weirong recalled how Liu Xiangya did it in the original novel and found that her method was useless to her.
Her child was still firmly in her stomach.
"Master, don't think too much. Let nature take its course. There are still four months until the end of the confinement.”White Lotus saw that his master's expression was unable to hide his worry and comforted him.
Liu Weirong thought about it and agreed, so she threw it away, changed her clothes, and went to sleep.
After Xing 'Er and Bai Lian turned off the lights and left, she entered the space again and picked up a ripe peach to eat. After eating it, she scooped up the medical book she had been reading from the box lid.
………………
In Feng Yi Palace, the Empress had ordered people to keep watch since Eunuch Li had ordered the imperial kitchen to send the dishes to Rou Fu Palace in the afternoon. It was only in the evening when the Emperor brought Little Li to Rou Fu Palace. She could hardly believe her ears.
Wasn't Noble De grounded?
Two months was neither long nor short. Why would the Emperor suddenly go to Rou Fu Palace?
According to her spies in Rou Fu Palace, it was because Noble De personally cooked for the Emperor.
She didn't think that was a reason. Which concubine in the palace didn't know how to cook? There must be another reason.
What surprised her was that the Emperor had left Soft Fortune Palace early this time and had even given a death order that no one was allowed to enter Soft Fortune Palace. What exactly happened inside?
No one knew.
Her spies couldn't even reach the main house, so she had no idea what was going on.
He could only ask Granny Sun to order the informants of Rou Fu Palace to keep a close eye on them and report to them if there were any abnormalities.
The Empress caressed. He touched his stomach that was still motionless and was in a daze.
She had already taken a lot of medicine to nurse her body. Although she rarely slept with him, only on the first or fifteenth day of each month, sometimes she even used the little princess to summon the emperor.
She slept with the doctor for three to four days a month, and the doctor said that there was no problem with her body.
However, there was no movement in her stomach.
She was about to go crazy.
She could still use medicinal cuisine to control their pregnancy, but as time went on, no one in the palace would get pregnant, and she would eventually be suspected. However, it was absolutely impossible to make them pregnant now.
The eldest son had to crawl out of her stomach.
Not only was the Empress confused, but the other women in the harem were also confused.
Concubine Fang Zhiying, who had always been very calm, gave a rare cold laugh. She let her eyes watch and did not move.
The Liu Sisters 'tricks were all the same, nothing new.
But now it seemed that Noble Li was much inferior to Noble De. Being suppressed by a disfigured Consort Hui, it was really not easy to stand out.
Youlan Palace
In the evening, Liu Xiangya received the news from Bishui that the Emperor had come to Rou Fu Palace. She couldn't help but tear the handkerchief in her hand into two.
"As expected, she is my nemesis! Mother is right!" She clenched her teeth. She muttered to herself.
She could even seduce the Emperor when she was in confinement…
"Master, the Emperor did not stay overnight. I heard that he left after dinner.”Bi Shui saw that her master's expression was getting gloomier and gloomier, so she quickly comforted her.
Leaving after dinner?
Liu Xiangya frowned and her eyes flashed." Did Xiao Gaozi say anything?"”
Bi Shui shook her head." Little Gao couldn't go to the main room, so I don't know what happened. However, after the Emperor left, he left two guards to guard Rou Fu Palace.”
Liu Xiangya's heart sank. It seemed that there was something going on. She pursed her lips and ordered Bishui to keep Gao Zi watching.
In the following days, the women in the harem almost fell over with jealousy. The Emperor came to Rou Fu Palace every night for dinner. Although he did not stay overnight, just eating was enough to make those concubines in the harem who had not seen the Emperor go crazy with jealousy.
The empress dowager did not have much of a reaction. The emperor only liked Noble De's cooking, not his favor. After he left, the emperor would sometimes order other women to serve him.
Anyway, the emperor went to Zhiying's place the most.
However, Noble De was probably the first person in the harem to use cooking to seduce the emperor.
As long as it wasn't a one-sided favor, as her mother, she didn't want to interfere. It wouldn't be good if it caused a gap between mother and son.
The only thing that made her unhappy was that no one in the harem had gotten pregnant yet.
A month later, it was rumored that Noble De's cooking skills were better than the imperial chef's, especially his cooking skills. Only then did the women in the harem realize that Noble De had used his cooking skills to seduce the emperor.
As a result, the concubines in the inner palace all started to move. Murong Che was happy. Every day, there would be concubines bringing him food and soup.
zichen Hall
When he heard Little Li say that Consort Shu had stewed a bowl of Angelica chicken soup and sent it over, Murong Che's mouth twitched and he immediately gave the bowl of chicken soup to Little Li.
Little Li thanked him happily.
He was very happy these days. He had nourishing soup to drink every day.
The concubines in the harem had no idea that the soup they had stewed had all entered Little Li's stomach.
He thought that the Emperor had drunk it.
Of course, Liu Xiangya didn't give Murong Che any soup. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that Consort Hui was staring at her. Liu Xiangya felt aggrieved. Ever since Consort Hui's face was disfigured by her beloved cat, the originally pretty and straightforward girl had turned into a gloomy and irritable girl.
Especially when she paid her respects every day, Consort Hui would stare at her exquisite appearance, which made her hair stand on end. It was especially so when the Emperor pointed at her sign.
The Buddha wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh.
Liu Xiangya felt disgusted, but she couldn't do anything about it. She could use tricks in the dark, but she couldn't do it in the open. She had to be humble.
She would hide in the You Lan Palace every day in case she was schemed against by the jealous Concubine Hui.
Fortunately, she had a hidden post and knew everything that happened in the palace like the back of her hand.
Rou Fu Palace
Liu Weirong, who was three months pregnant, had a slightly bulging belly. There was a large bed in the backyard, and a small table beside it with a few plates of pastries on it.
Liu Weirong was lying lazily on the bed. Xing 'er was waving her round fan, and the gentle breeze brought a sense of refreshing. Listening to Bai Lian reading the book Murong Che had sent over, Liu Weirong narrowed her eyes, eating her snacks and sipping her flower tea. Her expression was lazy and relaxed.
Xiao Gao, who was busy in the vegetable field in the distance, stole a glance from time to time. Seeing that there was nothing strange, he threw it away.
"Master, you are the most beautiful pregnant woman this servant has ever seen.”Nanny Chen had just finished sewing a small shoe. She couldn't help but praise Liu Weirong's fair and flawless face, which was flushed red. Her skin was still as smooth and tender as before.
One had to know that many imperial concubines would start to have spots on their faces after three months of pregnancy. In order to cover up these spots, they would use rouge to cover them up. However, they did not know that the more they did this, the worse their complexion would be.
Although some of them did not have pregnancy spots, their faces were still a little sallow. They did not have a fair and red face like their master.
Xing 'er nodded in agreement.
She felt that her master seemed to be getting more beautiful by the day, making people unable to shift their gazes away.
Every night when the Emperor came over, the gaze he looked at the Mistress with became gentler and gentler.
She had no idea that the Emperor was looking at Liu Weirong's belly.
"Pregnant women are the most beautiful!”Liu Weirong replied casually and took a sip of the sour plum soup. It was so sour that her mouth was salivating, and her entire body felt comfortable.
She had yet to show any symptoms of drowsiness, fatigue, morning sickness, and so on. She did not know if it was because of the effects of the spiritual spring.
"That might not be the case." Wet Nurse Chen shook her head. Seeing that her master had already finished a small bowl of sour plum soup, she scooped another bowl for her and then began to make small clothes at the side.
The Emperor did not allow Master to touch the needle and thread during this period of time. Master did not need to do anything every day, just directing the kitchen to make soup.
Liu Weirong smiled. Every night, she would enter the space for a period of time to drink spiritual spring water, eat fruits, and sometimes soak in the river water. In addition, Nanny Chen would check her pulse every day.
She also knew that the child in her stomach was very healthy.
At this moment, White Lotus finished reading a paragraph of the book. Today's task was completed.
"Wet Nurse Chen, do you think I'll be able to raise the child myself after I give birth?”Liu Weirong's brows furrowed slightly. He touched his slightly protruding abdomen and asked faintly.
After discussing with Xing 'er and Bai Lian for a month, he thought of many ways, but none of them were suitable. He could not help but feel a little frustrated.
Perhaps because they were too young and inexperienced, they couldn't think of a good solution.
Wet Nurse Chen was stunned. She stopped sewing and replied uncertainly,"It should be possible. If master gives birth to the eldest son, the emperor will definitely promote master. At that time, master should be able to raise the prince.”
Liu Weirong smiled bitterly.
"What if the Empress Dowager wants to take him away?" Bai Lian glanced at her master and said,"
Xing 'er's words were not based on evidence, so she did not tell Granny Chen. Granny Chen did not know either.
"Yes, yes. If the Empress Dowager wants to carry him away, what about Master?”Xing 'er added.
"The Empress Dowager can't possibly adopt the eldest son. The Emperor won't allow it.”Wet Nurse Chen smiled. She understood this very well.
How could the eldest son be raised by the empress dowager? This was something that had never happened in the Great Qian Dynasty. If the emperor did not like the status of the eldest son's mother, she would be under the name of a high-ranking concubine.
"Master, you don't have to worry too much." In the end, Wet Nurse Chen comforted her, fearing that she would be depressed and that it would be bad for her health.
"Wet Nurse Chen, let me be honest. I received news that the Empress Dowager plans to let the Imperial Consort adopt a prince with a low status. It would be fine if I gave birth to a little princess, but if it's a prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it.”
After thinking about it, Liu Weirong decided to confess to Granny Chen.
Wet Nurse Chen was shocked and frowned." This is very difficult to handle. Once the Empress Dowager gets involved, things will be tricky. But is the Imperial Consort willing to adopt someone else's child?"”
"Noble Consort is not willing. She wants to give birth on her own, but her body is too weak and it is very difficult to conceive.”Liu Weirong had a bitter expression on her face. She wished that Fang Zhiying could give birth to her own child. That way, no matter if the child she gave birth to was a prince or a princess, she could raise it herself.
If she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she could be promoted to a concubine. If she gave birth to a princess, although she could not be promoted, she could at least raise herself.
"Just because it's hard to get pregnant doesn't mean it can't be.”Nanny Chen smiled." This servant once served the late emperor's favorite concubine. Her body was also weak, about the same as the Imperial Concubine, but she was still pregnant.”
The current King of Huaiyang was an example.
Although his body was weak, he had grown up and was no longer a threat. After Emperor Murong Che ascended the throne, he was granted the title of King.
Liu Weirong's eyes lit up, obviously also thinking of the sickly and handsome Prince Xian, Prince Huaiyang, in the original novel.
Yes, nothing was impossible. Didn't Fang Zhiying always want a child of her own?
She had been thinking in the wrong direction previously. Why didn't she just get Fang Zhiying pregnant?
However, it wasn't that easy to get pregnant.
However, Liu Weirong's lips curved slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. Clearly, she had thought of a way.
Seeing her master smile again, Granny Chen was relieved, thinking that her example had appeased Liu Weirong.
Seeing that the sun was rising and it was getting hotter and hotter outside, it was almost lunchtime. Liu Weirong returned to the dormitory in a good mood.
After lunch, Liu Weirong asked Granny Chen to go back and rest, leaving Xing 'er alone.
Bai Lian sensibly stood guard at the door. Xing 'Er's close friend had always been a mystery. Combined with her master's good mood in the morning, she thought that perhaps her master wanted to ask about Xing' Er's friend.
In fact, Bai Lian's guess was right and wrong. Liu Weirong leaving Xing 'er behind was indeed related to her friend.
Xing 'er was also an exquisite person with a clear mind. Seeing that her master had left her alone, she was afraid that he had something important to ask her, so she waited quietly.
"Xing 'er, is that friend of yours able to speak in front of the Imperial Consort?”Liu Weirong looked at the roses in the vase on the table and asked softly.
Ever since she found out about the existence of the secret guards, she had been paying attention to her words and actions. Thanks to her keen senses, she knew that the person hiding in the dark would not enter her bedroom. He was probably hiding in a beam outside the room.
As long as she spoke softly, he wouldn't be able to hear her.
"Sure!" Xing 'er nodded and then asked in a low voice," Master, do you want to know about the Imperial Concubine's situation?”
Liu Weirong was shocked. It seemed that her friend was not simple, but she would not ask who Xing 'er was. Xing' er would tell her when she wanted to.
However, he remembered that Xing 'Er had always emphasized that they were very good friends, but she did not say whether it was a' he 'or a' she'.
If it was 'him', it would probably be a eunuch.
She looked up at Xing 'Er carefully. Xing' Er was actually very beautiful. She had a round apple face, and when she smiled, her eyes were curved. There was also a small dimple at the corner of her mouth. She looked very sweet.
A thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly threw it out of his mind.
"En, I want you to ask that friend to inquire about the Imperial Consort's recent situation.”Liu Weirong scooped out a brocade box from the drawer under the table, opened it, and scooped out a large banknote for Xing 'er.
"This banknote is for your hard work.”
Xing 'Er happily received the silver notes and patted her chest. I guarantee that it will be done well.
Liu Weirong pursed her lips and chuckled. Xing 'er was cute in this way. Although she was a money-grubber, she was still modest.
After Xing 'er left, Liu Weirong made an excuse to take a nap and asked the two of them to guard the door while she scooped out a yellowed medical book from her space.
She flipped to a certain page and stared at the prescription on it. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. It wasn't bad to let Fang Zhiying be the target, right?
