Liu Weirong was happy that there were no more spies in the backyard, but then she remembered the muskiness powder that the imperial physician mentioned last night. A trace of fear flashed across her eyes. This muskiness powder, why didn't she know about it? In the original novel, it was one of the two 'poisons' that hindered a woman's fertility.
They were also the two major evidence of the Empress's depose.
But didn't this muskiness powder only appear three years later? At that time, the Empress had already stopped meddling with the medicinal cuisine. In three years, only Liu Xiangya got pregnant and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor safely. There was no other child, which made people suspicious.
Therefore, the Empress did not dare to tamper with the medicinal cuisine anymore. Instead, she used the newly developed muskiness powder. Many women in the harem had miscarriages, miscarriages, and even died because of this.
It could be said that the Empress had only herself to blame for being deposed and banished to the Cold Palace.
"Master, this time our Rou Fu Palace is safe, that's great!”Bai Lian said happily and served two plates of desserts to his master. His master's appetite had increased and he was hungry easily. He had to prepare desserts and congee from time to time.
Previously, she had been worried that after the confinement ended, how would Master face the vicious hands of the other women in the harem? After all, she, Granny Chen, Granny Zhang, and Xing 'er would not be able to defend themselves.
Liu Weirong also smiled. Yes, as long as she didn't leave Rou Fu Palace, she would be safe. The only thing she had to be wary of was the concubines who would come to visit.
Fortunately, Gongpin was grounded.
Otherwise, this brainless person would definitely be used by others and cause big trouble.
Seeing Xing 'er and the other three second-class palace maids standing at the side, talking and laughing, Liu Weirong was a little confused. These three second-class palace maids seemed to be very familiar with Xing' er.
These three second-class palace maids had only been here for a few days, so why were they so familiar with Xing 'er?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
However, he quickly threw it out again. Xing 'er was a money-grubber and did not conform to his way of employing people. Just look at the three second-class palace maids. They were not on the same level as Xing' er.
"However, this time, everyone in the palace knows that Master is pregnant!”Xing 'Er stopped smiling and turned around with a bitter expression.
The three palace maids nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, it's going to be exposed sooner or later. Since Master's confinement hasn't ended, they can't come in. Just wait a few days in peace and be mentally prepared to welcome them.”Granny Chen said with a smile.
Liu Weirong ate a piece of dessert and nodded in agreement. As long as it was on her small plot of land, nothing would happen. She also had three second-class palace maids following her.
These were the Emperor's men, who would dare to move?
Anyway, she had decided that before she gave birth, she had to have at least three or four people by her side. Other than sleeping at night, she still had to enter the space to exercise.
While they were chatting, there was a sound from outside. It turned out that the Empress Dowager and the Empress had received their rewards. It seemed that they had received the news that her fetus was well.
All kinds of precious medicinal herbs, silk, gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and so on were sent over in a few big boxes. Liu Weirong was shocked. The reward this time was much more generous than the previous one.
Not only that, but someone came to deliver the Empress Dowager's orders. Her meal list had many more ingredients that were beneficial to pregnant women, but the person who delivered the ingredients was the Emperor's man.
It seemed that although the Empress Dowager did not like her, she still cared about her grandson. Liu Weirong felt slightly relieved.
As long as the Empress Dowager did not deal with her child, with the Emperor's protection, she would definitely be able to endure until she gave birth safely.
He let the four second-class palace maids, Bai Lian and Xing 'er, count these rewards, record them in the book, and then put them into the private treasury.
After rewarding the servants, the entire Rou Fu Palace was filled with joy.
Liu Weirong looked at everyone's happy faces and smiled. She also sighed. It seemed that the treatment of the first pregnant person was really good.
As for whether or not anyone would get pregnant after that, it was hard to say. The Empress's medicinal cuisine was not for show.
She couldn't be bothered to care about it. She just had to live her own life.
Why did he care so much about others?
Feng Yi Palace
The Empress sat on the chair dejectedly, almost unable to believe her ears.
He failed again. He had actually managed to dodge the muskiness powder. It had only affected the fetus. The fetus was still fine. How could Noble De have such a good life!!
The Empress was jealous but also very unwilling. It was too late to make a move. Soft Fortune Palace was already heavily protected by the Emperor. It could be seen how much the Emperor valued and looked forward to this child of Noble De. When she gave birth to the eldest son, she would probably be promoted.
She was so angry that she almost crushed her white teeth.
However, she still had to put on a facade. She was a virtuous and dignified empress.
A large number of rewards were given out, and with the Empress Dowager's rewards, it was so grand that it was comparable to the rewards of the four concubines. How could people not look at it? Even Jing Pin, who lived in seclusion in the rear palace, knew that Noble De was nearly six months pregnant.
The Empress laughed coldly. With such a ruckus, she did not believe that Noble Consort Fang and Consort Shu could sit still.
The only consolation she had now was that the Emperor did not find out about what happened last night. After all, he did not 'talk' to her, right?
It could only be said that the Empress was too confident.
The Emperor did not look for her now, but it did not mean that he did not find out. He was only concerned about the Left Minister. After all, the Empress was the daughter of the Left Minister, but not the eldest daughter of the Di, but the third daughter of the Di.
This Left Minister was a fence-sitter. When his eldest daughter married the Crown Prince, he supported the Crown Prince with all his might. Later, when he saw the Crown Prince being pulled down, he turned to the current Emperor.
The Left Minister was becoming more and more arrogant in the court. More than half of the civil officials in the court were on his side. The only ones who could compete with him were the forces of the Empress Dowager's family.
Ever since Murong Che ascended the throne, the power of the Empress Dowager's family had developed rapidly and was on par with the Left Minister's power. Although there was a faint trend of them surpassing each other, they still maintained the balance.
The right prime minister and the general of the hussars were slightly inferior.
Now that the Emperor was tolerating her, if the Empress still did not restrain herself, Murong Che loved to settle scores after autumn.
When the Left Minister collapsed, the Empress would be finished.
If she did not extend her vicious hand to the heir, the Emperor might still let her sit on the throne.
But now, Murong Che had already made a mark on her.
As for Fang Zhiying, after she fainted last night, the imperial physician diagnosed her with signs of a miscarriage. When she woke up, she was almost scared to death. Fortunately, the child in her belly was fine.
After being warned by the Empress Dowager, Fang Zhiying suddenly woke up and gave up on finding trouble with Noble De. She also ordered the people from the Guan Yu Palace not to talk about the palace's matters and to rest in peace. She was smart and knew that her body was weak. It was already a blessing for her to be able to get pregnant.
If she was agitated and lost her mind again, causing the child that she had painstakingly gotten in her stomach to miscarry, wouldn't she cry herself to death?
Even if Noble De gave birth to the eldest son, it was hard to say whether he would grow up, right?
Why should she get involved in this mess?
Let the Empress worry herself.
I'm just caressing you. He touched his slightly protruding belly and smiled.
Liu residence
When Liu Zhihao learned that his third daughter was nearly six months pregnant with Long Hou, he had been ridiculed by his colleagues for marrying a kind-looking but ruthless wife, making him unable to raise his head in front of his colleagues. Now, he was finally able to hold his head high and was proud of himself. Many officials in the court had already begun to express their goodwill to him.
It would be best if the third daughter could give birth to the eldest son.
Although he valued his eldest daughter's fate, his third daughter was not bad either. As for his wife, Zhang shi, he directly ignored her.
Now it seemed that he should consider giving some of the people he had arranged in the palace in his early years to his third daughter.
When the time came, he would write a letter and send it to his eldest daughter. He would ask her to take care of her pregnant third daughter and not let her be plotted against. He would also ask her to give some of the hidden stakes in her hands to Liu Weirong.
The eldest daughter and the third daughter were close sisters, and they could support each other in the palace.
As for Lady Liu and Lady Zhang, they were in disbelief. How could Liu Wei Rong, this little slut, get pregnant in front of Xiang Ya? Didn't she accumulate cold poison in her body?
The current status of the Zhang family was not as good as before after Liu Weirong entered the palace. Old Master Liu even had the intention to marry another wife. If it were not for the support of her two outstanding sons, she would probably have been abandoned.
However, the daughter in the palace did not live up to expectations. If she was pregnant with an heir, her position in the Liu family would return to before. Zhang shi could not help but blame her daughter in her heart.
Liu Xiangya, whom they were concerned about, found out that Liu Weirong was really pregnant and was almost six months pregnant. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, almost scaring Bishui.
At this moment, she still didn't know that this blow had just begun. When Liu Zhihao's letter arrived, it would be an even bigger blow.
Consort Shu of the Everlasting Palace thought about it carefully in her heart, then sat in a sedan chair and went to Feng Yi Palace to see the Empress. She said something, and when she left, Consort Shu had a cold smile on her face.
The Empress wanted to use her as a weapon.
He decided in his heart not to get involved in this mess. The Emperor had made it clear that he attached great importance to Noble De's child. The one who should be anxious was the Empress. She was already a twenty-eight-year-old 'old woman', and she did not have a prince by her side.
She was only sixteen years old, and she would eventually get pregnant with her own child.
Even if Noble De's child was safely born, it was still a problem whether he could grow up.
Therefore, Consort Shu and Fang Zhiying had the same thoughts. The Empress's plan had failed. As for the concubines, many of them did not have any connections. They could not find an opportunity to make a move.
………………
The weather in November was getting colder and colder, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The ban would be lifted tomorrow, and the peaceful days would be gone forever.
A brazier was burning in the hall.
Liu Weirong sat on the bed with a fox fur shawl around her beautiful neck. These days, she had been eating and sleeping, listening to White Lotus read lullabies, almost turning into a little pig. Since she had nothing to do, she would follow Granny Chen to embroider clothes.
However, compared to the exquisite clothes and shoes embroidered by Granny Chen, hers was much uglier. The sleeves of the clothes were one big and one small, and they were not symmetrical.
In the end, she could only give up. In any case, these days, Granny Chen and White Lotus had embroidered a lot. They had embroidered a bunch of winter and summer ones, enough to wear for a year.
After the pregnancy was exposed, the Emperor did not come over much at night. He only came over at noon every day.
That night, Liu Weirong had just climbed up. The bed was ready to sleep when a bright yellow figure came in. Seeing this, Bai Lian and Xing 'er hurriedly greeted the Emperor.
The Emperor waved them away.
A few braziers had already been set up in the room. The braziers were burning loudly, making the room warm.
Seeing Murong Che come in, Liu Wei Rong sat up on the bed with her belly sticking out. She wanted to pay her respects to him, but was stopped by Murong Che, who quickly walked over.
Liu Weirong could sense that Murong Che was not in a good mood and wondered who had made him angry again.
Murong Che took off his robe and dragon boots and went up. The bed hugged her and laid her down. He covered her with the blanket and caressed her bulging belly with his large hand. The baby in her belly used her small feet to greet his father.
Murong Che's lips curled up slightly when he felt his palm throbbing.
His mood suddenly improved.
These days, his mother had been constantly mentioning Noble Li in front of him, making him extremely annoyed. This Noble Li was too ambitious and too ruthless. He did not know what his mother saw in her that she even wanted him to have more of this woman's brand.
Unfortunately, he had no interest in Lady Li at all.
"Emperor, the little prince is greeting you!”Feeling the baby in her belly kick twice, Liu Weirong smiled.
"Yes! He's filial!" Murong Che's expression softened and his eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
Liu Weirong was speechless. Just two kicks and he was already filial…
After that, Murong Che fell silent as if he had fallen asleep.
Liu Weirong was already used to being hugged by him to sleep, but she had slept too much today. Now she was not sleepy, listening to the brazier in the room crackling.
She had wanted to enter the space to exercise tonight, but the Emperor came over. She couldn't go in tonight and couldn't sleep, so she could only move around in Murong Che's arms out of boredom.
Little did she know that her actions had aroused the desire of Murong Che, who was not asleep.| Fire.
For the past half a month, he had not counted his cards and had spent almost all his nights in the Purple Mansion Hall. One could imagine how miserable Liu Weirong, the person who lit the fire, would be tonight.
Feeling a hard| With something hard pressing against her, Liu Weirong's entire body stiffened. She raised her eyes and met Murong Che's lustful gaze.| She looked at him and immediately turned her head away guiltily. With her back facing him, she buried her head in the blanket and planned to play dead.
"Emperor, it's late at night, rest early!”
Originally, Murong Che had no intention of wanting her, but she was moving around on his body, igniting his desire.| Fire, then he couldn't be blamed.
"It's too late. If you light a fire, you have to be responsible for extinguishing it!”Murong Che's voice was slightly hoarse as his large hands quickly stripped off Liu Weirong's clothes.
His thin lips held. He held her earlobe and kissed her all the way down, his large hand sliding across her chest…
" Your Majesty, I'm still pregnant with the little prince…" Liu Weirong grabbed his big hand and tried to refuse.
"Zhen has asked the imperial physician, it can be done!”His hand continued to slide down without stopping. He knew the results of the imperial physician's diagnosis every day, and he also knew if she could sleep with him.
Therefore, Liu Weirong was so miserable that Murong Che ate her up and wiped her clean.
The next day, after Murong Che had gone to court, Liu Weirong sneaked into her space to take a shower. Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she heard the servant outside announce that Lady Li had arrived!
When Liu Weirong heard that she had come, she couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, her guess was right. After knowing that she was pregnant, Liu Xiangya would definitely be the first to come to her door.
