Chapter 41 Pregnancy
On the second day of May, the talented person from Lanfang Pavilion in Yihe Palace sent good news.
There has been no concubine in the palace for nearly ten years. When the imperial hospital came to report the letter, the emperor was approving documents in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He took two steps forward in a hurry, and tripped hard on the chair leg of the Dragon Chair.
All of a sudden, the servants of the Hall of Mental Cultivation fell to their knees. Yao Huai'an bent down to help him up, but the emperor himself patted the dragon's buttocks and stood up numbly.
"Let's go, don't get up on your knees, no one winks at all, come with me to Lanfang Pavilion to have a look!"
The emperor slapped his forehead and ordered people to bring the biggest guard of honor, and a group of people went to Yihe Palace in a mighty manner.
Inside the Lanfang Pavilion, Liu Jieyu was leading the concubine Xiang, asking and answering some personal words with Zhou Shuhe. As soon as he heard the announcement from outside, he saw the emperor stepping over the threshold and walking in front of Zhou Shuhe in three steps .
Several people pretended to kneel to greet her, but the emperor ignored the others, raised his hand to support Zhou Shuhe, and stared blankly at her stomach.
For the Yihe Palace fire incident, Liu Jieyu was also reprimanded by the emperor. On the surface, she only said that she was not strict with the palace guards and did not manage the guards properly, resulting in the tragic death of the concubine. In fact, she hated her for not keeping the three corpses. The worm, was taken advantage of by the concubine Rou.
The only remedy is to bring some more larvae from the Nanban and re-cultivate them.
But Liu Jieyu's mother passed away due to illness three years ago, and her father was also sick in bed. The brothers are all unreliable playboys. In the past two years, the Liu family has gradually lost contact with Miao Jiang, and they can't give anything away. , so anxious that a series of blisters formed at the corners of her mouth.
Fortunately, there will be a new son in the harem, and His Majesty will have an heir again, so don't worry about all the sweet pills, she is probably the happiest one besides the emperor.
Just as happy as her was the Empress Empress in Kunren Palace.
Her original plan was to abolish the concubine Jia, and make Zhou Shuhe the adoptive mother of King Ning. The Zhou family is a small family and has no backing in the court, so naturally they have to rely on her queen.
But there are many detours in this, not to mention that the concubine Jia has been in the harem for many years, and is the biological mother of the emperor's only son. It is difficult to abolish her. The only thing is that King Ning himself was weak and sick since he was a child. How many panaceas have been taken, whether it can stand or not is still a matter of opinion.
If the tricks are exhausted and a crown prince is finally obtained, and he dies within a few years, many troubles may arise again.
But now, Yuan Cairen has a child of his own, and it would be great if he is a healthy prince.
The Bai family cuts off the emperor's descendants, and the Zhou family extends the emperor's bloodline, so she is the queen, so she can't help feeling a bit mysterious and mysterious, not to mention the emperor who, under the guidance of Zhou Shuhe, has become more and more devoted to Bai, and Zhou's people are connected by cause and effect .
This is destiny.
The emperor stroked Zhou Shuhe's lower abdomen, his face couldn't help showing a bit of infatuation. He looked at her, as if he saw those teenagers who rode horses together.
"Do you regret it?" he said.
Does Bai Xianxian regret it?Regret my resentment, jealousy, unwillingness, hatred, all those qualities that a beautiful woman should not have.
Zhou Shuhe thought, of course she would not.
If she regretted it, Princess Bai would only regret that her methods were too immature and her heart was not cruel enough. Instead of directly poisoning the emperor to death, she let him live, ascended to the throne, and hurt other people.
And Zhou Shuhe himself...
She tilted her head to look at the emperor, with an innocent expression, pursed her lips and chuckled softly: "Your Majesty, are you so happy? You prefer concubines, and now you have a child. There is no such good thing in your dreams. Now I just care about being happy." , where would there be any regrets?"
"If you must say you regret it..." She put her hand on the back of the emperor's hand that fell on her lower abdomen, with a soft smile, but in the eyes of the emperor, there was something specious about it.
"Even if I regret it, my concubine only regrets that I was born many years late, and that I can't stay with you from youth to old age like my sisters."
—Are you going to kill me?That's great, when I think that I will be in this palace, entangled with you from youth to old age, I feel so sick that I want to vomit.
The woman's hateful hiss went straight into his mind, and the emperor's pupils shrank suddenly, and he withdrew his hands in a panic and stood up, bumping the concubine Xiang who was beside him.
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Shuhe also got up quickly, with worry and doubt in his eyes.
The emperor stared at her in a daze, took a deep breath for a long time, waved his hands with a smile and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about whether your baby is a boy or a girl, and I was a little preoccupied for a while."
She understood it, but didn't show it on her face, and said angrily: "What about boys, what about girls? Could it be that if it's not the prince, His Majesty doesn't like it?"
"Why?" The emperor put his arms around her shoulders, "Whether it's a prince or a princess, I will confer a title on him, and I will definitely concubine you as well."
Zhou Shuhe was two months pregnant, and it was the time when her mind was restless, and the things that she could usually pretend to be false, now made her almost nauseous.
She endured and endured, and finally swallowed the nausea, raised a smiling face, wrinkled her nose and said softly: "No, getting promoted too quickly will make people jealous, just like before in the Zhongcui Palace of Concubine Zhuang, Shen Shunv treats concubines..."
Her expression was gloomy, and everything was silent.
Thinking of the grievance she suffered that time, the emperor felt great pity in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
almost.
Zhou Shuhe stared at the emperor with half timidity in his eyes, but it seemed that he had given him great courage.
"Actually, the concubine didn't realize it that day, but the more I thought about it later, the more I became afraid. Is the crime of being a prostitute a concubine can afford? So I went to ask Liu Jieyu."
She turned her head to look at Liu Rujin, who nodded slightly, and continued her words: "As you know, Your Majesty, on the day sister Yuan went to the Taiji Palace to sleep, Shen Shunv secretly sent someone to pick her up on the pretext of chatting with concubines. Fangge stole the jade hairpin to frame Sister Yuan, but there is one more thing that my concubine would not dare to elaborate on with you."
"But now that Younger Sister Yuan is pregnant with a dragon seed, there must be no omissions at all. This concubine has the courage to tell you what to say without evidence."
She dropped to her knees.
"The person Shen Shunv brought with her that day was not someone from her own palace, but the palace maid Liuxia who was beside Concubine Zhuang."
The emperor paused for a moment.
And Zhou Shuhe lowered his eyes, gently stroking his lower abdomen.
The child could bring her enemies as well as friends.
In fact, she was more afraid of the second prince's birth mother, Jia concubine, than Concubine Zhuang, but the child in her womb must not make any mistakes. The seeds of doubt were planted in the emperor's heart early on, and no matter what happened in the future, she would always be able to use it.
On the other hand, with the appearance of this child, the matter of Yun Guichu came to an end, and she and Liu Jieyu no longer had any conflicts. For a person like Liu Jieyu who knows too much, if he wants to live a good life, It is even more necessary to choose a person to attach to.
Zhou Shuhe, who has children, is a good choice.
Living together in the first house should be the best allies.
According to the imperial physician's estimate, Zhou Shuhe should have been pregnant in March, and in May, she was like a living medical book, and all the symptoms of pregnancy sickness were churning on her body.
Chills, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and morning sickness, each of which was much worse than when she was pregnant in her previous life.
What's even more annoying is that even though the emperor would no longer let Zhou Shuhe sit in bed, he would come to Lanfang Pavilion almost every day to have a look.
