In an instant, the news of Noble Consort Fang's pregnancy spread throughout the entire harem. Consort Shu, Consort Hui, and the other concubines were so jealous that they almost suffered internal injuries. Fang Zhiying was even more exasperated. She had just gotten pregnant, and the news spread throughout the entire harem as if it had wings. She almost couldn't breathe.
After the empress dowager had someone check, she looked stunned and finally sighed.
He ordered people to protect Fang Zhiying tightly before he went to the temple hall to recite scriptures.
The Empress almost crushed her white teeth and forcefully broke a piece of armor. She was filled with disbelief. That sickly Fang Zhiying was actually pregnant?
At first, only Noble Consort Fang could not eat the herbal dish, so she did not care. She thought that it was harder than the sky for her sickly body to get pregnant. She did not expect that she would actually get pregnant.
Her body was much better than hers, but she was still not pregnant. The women in the harem might laugh at her behind her back.
"Niangniang, don't be anxious. With Noble Consort Fang's frail body, she might not be able to keep it!”Granny Sun looked at the Empress with some heartache. The Empress was raised by her, and seeing her constantly fretting over the Prince's problems and drinking medicine as if it was food, she felt bad.
The Empress bit her lip tightly, not knowing that she had bitten it. Tears flowed down her face as she shouted in a low voice,""Her body is weak, she's already pregnant. BenGong has been drinking medicine for so many years, but other than giving birth to a useless princess, there's not even a shadow of a prince. If she gives birth to the eldest son of the emperor, won't the empress be replaced?”
"Niangniang, please calm down first. The emperor will not easily abolish your position as empress for the prince. You can rest assured that this servant knows your hardships. You will definitely give birth to a prince.”
Nanny Sun saw the Empress 'panicked expression and tearful appearance and felt extremely distressed, but she could only comfort the Empress in this way.
"Granny Sun, get someone to investigate and see if Noble Consort Fang has some secret recipe.”After a long time, the Empress stopped crying and wiped the tears from her face. After venting, she calmed down.
She became dignified and elegant again.
Granny Sun agreed.
Then, the Empress sent over a lot of rewards and nourishing ingredients.
The other concubines also sent gifts to Guan Yu Palace to congratulate them.
When Liu Xiangya heard the news, she felt bitter. She had just gotten close to the Empress Dowager, and Noble Consort Fang was already pregnant. Wasn't her luck too bad? Unfortunately, he couldn't use the hidden post. The Empress Dowager's connections in the harem couldn't be underestimated. If he was discovered, it would be over.
However, he still asked Blue Water to prepare a gift for him.
She secretly comforted herself that she was not in a hurry. Now that she had caught the Empress Dowager's eye, there would always be a chance.
At the same time, in the Yu Lan Hall of Rou Fu Palace.
Liu Weirong took a nap. After she got up and washed up, she heard Xing 'Er and Bai Lian say that the news of Fang Zhiying's pregnancy had spread throughout the entire harem.
"Strange, with the Imperial Consort's personality, it's impossible for everyone to know that she's only been pregnant for a month.”Liu Weirong asked curiously as she sat down on the recliner.
At this time, Granny Chen came in and handed over a chicken soup bowl that had just been boiled. She poured it into a small bowl and handed it to Liu Weirong. She smiled and said,""Master, don't think too much. This soup has just been boiled.”
"That's right, Master. There must be someone adding fuel to the fire. As for who it is, we don't know. In any case, the Empress Dowager would definitely protect Noble Consort Fang.”
Liu Weirong nodded. That was true. Fang Zhiying's pregnancy could last for at least seven to eight months. By then, she would have given birth long ago.
As the day of the end of the confinement drew closer, Liu Wei Rong caressed. Touching her belly that was getting bigger and bigger, a determined light flashed in her eyes.
He picked up the spoon and finished a small bowl of chicken soup. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and said seriously.
"Xing 'er, White Lotus, after my confinement period ends, I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger. You guys be careful, if there are any evil spirits, you have to leave some traces. We have to secure our fences so that no one can take advantage of the loopholes.”
She had never dared to underestimate the ancients. It was fine if she was not pregnant, but once she was pregnant, she would kill without bloodshed.
He then looked at Granny Chen, who seemed to have something to say, and asked with a smile,"Granny Chen, what do you think?”
Xing 'Er and Bai Lian also looked at Granny Chen.
Granny Chen looked at her master and sighed, reminding her,""Master, have you forgotten the most important thing?”
"What is it?" Liu Weirong lowered her head and thought carefully. It didn't seem to be anything important, right? She looked at Wet Nurse Chen in confusion.
Bai Lian and Xing 'er also found it strange.
Wet Nurse Chen looked at her master helplessly and said directly,""Master, have you forgotten that you only have Xing 'er as your second class palace maid?”
Xiang 'er was beaten to death, Xiao Mei and Xiao Tao were demoted to lowly palace maids, leaving three second-class palace maids empty. This was a very dangerous thing to do when the mistress was pregnant.
One had to know that the second-class palace maids were assigned to the main room.
"Ah!" Liu Weirong opened her mouth and came to a sudden realization. Every concubine in the palace had strict rules regarding the level of servants. She was locked up and with Murong Che's decree, the Empress could not send anyone in.
But it would be hard to say when she was out of confinement.
There were obviously so many empty seats here. Someone would definitely have to fill them. At that time, the Empress would send someone over. Needless to say, they would definitely be here for the child in her stomach.
Thinking of this, her scalp went numb.
"Does Granny have any good suggestions?" Liu Weirong really couldn't think of a good solution, so she had to ask for help from Granny Chen.
Xing 'Er and Bai Lian also looked at her eagerly.
Wet Nurse Chen smiled." When the Emperor comes over tonight, Master can just mention this to the Emperor.”
Liu Weirong heard this and bit her lip in annoyance. Yes, why was she so stupid? With the emperor's importance to the child in her belly, she could just ask the emperor to send a few trusted palace maids over.
"Thank you, granny!"
Wet Nurse Chen smiled. Master was just nervous for a moment and didn't expect it.
"Mistress, in this palace, only you and the Imperial Concubine are pregnant. Fortunately, our Soft Fortune Palace doesn't have a palace master or other concubines living here. Otherwise, Mistress would have to pay her respects every day.”Bai Lian said, feeling lucky.
Xing 'Er also nodded in agreement like a chick pecking rice.
"Yes, although our Soft Fortune Palace is the furthest from the emperor's Purple Mansion Hall, there are also benefits.”Liu Weirong's lips curled into a smile. She was most satisfied with this, as well as the rules of the palace for concubines below noble.
There was no need to set rules for the Empress Dowager.
Who asked the noble and Chang Zai to agree that there was no limit to the number of people in these positions? The imperial palace held a selection every three years. If it was a lecherous emperor, there would be countless beauties in the harem, and countless noble people would often agree to it. All of these would have to pay respects to the empress dowager. Where would there be such a big place to stand?
After letting White Lotus read it for a while, Liu Weirong felt a little sleepy and muttered to herself, Should I ask the Emperor to send something else over?
It was easy to be hypnotized by always listening to things like governing the country and governing the world. He yawned and groggily listened to today's mission. Seeing that it was getting late, he immediately perked up and asked someone to go to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
White Lotus was speechless.
It was normal that the Master did not listen. Anyway, it was not for the Master to hear, but for the little prince in the Master's womb to hear.
During dinner time, Murong Che brought Eunuch Little Li over on time.
After dinner, Murong Che entered the inner room as usual. White Lotus helped Liu Weirong into the room, leaving Little Li and Xing 'er outside to guard the door.
Liu Weirong sat beside Murong Che with a big belly and poured him tea. Her smooth movements were very pleasing to the eye. After making the tea, she poured a cup for Murong Che and gave him a smile that was much brighter than usual. She smiled sweetly and said,"Emperor, please have some tea!"
Murong Che raised an eyebrow. Something was wrong, something was wrong. Noble De had been trying to curry favor with him like a puppy since dinner time. He must have something to ask of him.
"Yes!" Nodding his head lightly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. The corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly.
After Murong Che took a sip of tea, Liu Weirong asked anxiously,""Emperor, how is this tea?"
"Not bad!" Murong Che glanced at her and said slowly.
Not bad?
This was tea that she had brewed with spiritual spring water. Did she have to be so picky?
Liu Weirong muttered to herself, but there was a flattering smile on her face: "As long as the emperor likes it!"
"Tell me, what is it?" Murong Che couldn't bear to see her like this anymore. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked indifferently.
Liu Weirong breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally gotten to the main topic. She had been so obsequious just now that she had despised herself.
She tugged at his sleeve and rubbed her belly against his body. She shook his arm and said coquettishly,"Emperor, Nvqie is short of three second class palace maids, can you help Nvqie make up for it?”Even Liu Weirong herself couldn't stand that sweet tone.
However, when she saw Murong Che's face full of enjoyment, she felt a wave of disdain in her heart.
As expected, men liked women to act coquettishly.
In the future, when she had something to ask of him, she would act coquettishly to him. Hmph!
Who knew that Murong Che was pretending to be calm, but in reality, his heart was disgusted by her sweet voice. A layer of goosebumps formed on his arm and he almost flung her hand away.
"Isn't this matter the Empress's responsibility? Just ask the Empress to send you three.”Murong Che decided to take revenge on her a little. Who asked her to disgust him?
He was also very petty.
" But..." Liu Weirong was anxious. If she could get the Empress to send him over, she wouldn't have asked him for help.
Murong Che looked at her, who was anxious but didn't know what to say.
Bai Lian watched from the side as the Emperor teased his master, but his master took it seriously and almost laughed out loud.
On the other hand, Wet Nurse Chen felt that the Master and the Emperor got along very naturally and harmoniously.
" Your Majesty…" Liu Weirong looked at him pitifully and called him again in a coquettish voice.
Murong Che trembled unconsciously.
He immediately decided not to tease her anymore. Listening to this noble De's sweet voice was simply a form of torture.
"Alright, I promise you. Tomorrow, let Little Li send three palace maids over.”
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Liu Weirong immediately beamed with joy and held his arm intimately. These days, her interaction with Murong Che had become much more natural.
"Yes!"
"Oh right, Emperor, can you not let White Lotus read about governing the country and the world? Every time I listen to it, I want to sleep. Once I sleep, the child in my stomach will definitely sleep with me.”
Liu Weirong demanded.
"..." Murong Che's mouth twitched.
What did she mean by she was asleep and the child in her stomach was asleep? She had the nerve to say such words?
Wet Nurse Chen choked on Liu Weirong's words.
"Then what do you want to hear? However, it could only be! My prince can't learn those messy things!”Murong Che raised his eyebrows and said casually.
Liu Weirong rolled her eyes and smiled slyly,""Your Majesty, the little prince should also understand the local customs of our Great Qian Dynasty, right? So, did the emperor send someone to send some miscellaneous things over?”
"Hmm, that makes sense!" Murong Che nodded in agreement.
Liu Weirong's eyes sparkled as she looked at him, her face full of anticipation. Hurry up and agree, hurry up and agree.
"However, my prince is still young and doesn't need to listen to this!”Murong Che said slowly.
" Your Majesty..." Seeing Murong Che remain unmoved, Liu Weirong's smiling face instantly fell.
"Alright, it's getting late. Zhen still has things to deal with. Take care of your fetus and don't think about those messy things.”Murong Che sighed and caressed. He touched her bulging belly and got up to leave.
After Murong Che left, Liu Weirong sighed for a while and muttered," Why is the emperor so sure that the child in my stomach is a prince?"
If he gave birth to a princess and listened to White Lotus read those books every day, wouldn't he be afraid of raising a fierce princess?
In the end, she threw it away.
Half a month passed quickly, and there was still half a month before the end of the confinement. In this half a month, Liu Weirong was very satisfied. The symptoms of morning sickness were slowly reducing. It was said that Fang Zhiying's Guan Yu Palace had been tightly guarded by the Empress Dowager, so the Empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui, and the other high-ranking concubines had no way to attack.
He sighed in his heart.
As expected, it was safe to have the Empress Dowager protecting him.
However, she had been feeling a little uneasy recently, as if something big had happened.
Weiyang Palace's Youlan Hall
Bi Shui hurried in and whispered something in Liu Xiangya's ear. Liu Xiangya's face changed and her body trembled. Shaking, he tightened his grip on the teacup. He gritted his teeth and confirmed in shock,""Bishui, is this true?"
"This servant is very sure!" Bi Shui nodded heavily.
"Pa!" Liu Xiangya's face darkened. The teacup in her hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces and splashing water.
