Chapter 51 Fucha's Plan

The queen sitting on the other side was either too excited or unwilling to believe it. She kept flipping through the notebook sent by the Jingshifang.

"Empress, is there something wrong with this record file?"

Nian Shilan looked at Yixiu and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with this date. It just fits perfectly. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The queen glanced at Nian Shilan and didn't care about her question. She turned her head and looked at the emperor with a virtuous smile on her face.

Nian Shilan didn't care about her ignoring her. Anyway, she was in a good mood and didn't bother with these little things.

"Your Majesty, has he had his meal so late? He must be hungry, right? Songzhi, go get him some cakes."

The emperor nodded.

"Mei'er, is there anything you want to eat? I'll have someone bring some to you."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I was just about to eat the hawthorn cake when I started feeling a little unwell. Now that I see Your Majesty here, I'm actually feeling a little hungry again."

"Then Mei'er, eat more. I'll stay here with you."

"Where is Consort Wan? I remember she likes sweet food. Bring her some dessert."

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor and thanked him for his grace with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are so happy that you haven't even thought of asking me how I am feeling. I am going to be unhappy."

Nian Shilan glanced at the emperor with a coquettish look as usual. She was not jealous that the emperor cared about Zhen Huan and Zhen Huan. She simply wanted to deliberately bring up the fact that the emperor cared about Chen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan so that the queen would be even more angry.

When the queen is angry, she will be happy.

"Oh, Your Majesty, now that Concubine Shen is pregnant, she needs to be extra careful about her diet. I don't have anything else to do right now, so please leave these matters to me."

Nian Shilan thought of the Queen's usual approach to pregnant concubines in the palace, and quickly brought up the matter before the Queen could speak.

When Chen Meizhuang heard what Nian Shilan said, she gave her a grateful look.

"Concubine Hua has so many things to do every day, how can she handle all this? Otherwise..."

"Shilan is really thoughtful. The Queen is busy with Qixi Festival and is particularly tired. So let Shilan supervise Mei'er's pregnancy. Shilan is really becoming more and more virtuous."

The emperor confirmed Nian Shilan's statement without waiting for the queen to finish her words.

But his decision made the queen so angry that she clenched her fists. She didn't even realize that her nails had dug deep into the soft flesh of her palms.

But even though the fire in her heart was about to burst into flames, she still had to control her facial expression and must not lose the virtue and magnanimity of a queen in front of others.

"Doctor Wen, from now on, Concubine Shen's body is in your hands. You must protect her and the fetus. If you need anything, please let me know. Once the fetus is safely born, I will reward you greatly."

The emperor gave Wen Shichu careful instructions.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. This is my duty. I will do my utmost to protect Your Majesty."

These words made the emperor very happy.

The emperor smiled and reached out to Shen Meizhuang, holding her hand. "It's getting late. I'll take you back to the palace."

"Lady Wan, you should also go back and rest early, and be careful on the road."

Before leaving, the emperor did not forget to give Zhen Huan some caring advice.

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

As the emperor left, the queen also left Yiku Palace.

"Haha, haha, I'm dying of laughter."

"Sister Wan, have you seen the Queen's face? She must be so angry that she's about to faint, but she has to pretend it's nothing important. I feel so tired for her."

As soon as the other people left her, Nian Shilan could no longer hold back her laughter.

"Empress~~"

Zhen Huan looked at her helplessly.

How come she found that Concubine Hua was becoming more and more liberated? If someone told her now that Concubine Hua was a spoiled and overbearing person, she would definitely argue with them.

This is definitely a little girl who loves gossip all day long.

Now she is actually the Cricket Queen, and she is just short of laughing at her in front of her.

“But seriously, Sister Shen needs extra attention in the future. She is already favored by the emperor, and now that she is pregnant, she will become the thorn in the hearts of those people who want to remove her.”

Zhen Huan also thought about what Nian Shilan said in her heart.

But even if it is so dangerous, this child will definitely be protected well.

"Baojuan, why are they always so lucky? Why do all the good things happen to them?"

The next day, everyone in the palace knew that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant.

An Lingrong touched her abdomen dejectedly, her eyes unable to stop looking dim.

When she entered the palace, she was suppressed by others in every way. Now even her ability to get pregnant is controlled by others. How can she be willing to accept this?

In fact, every time the queen sent her the so-called "medicine", she knew the effect of it, but what could she do? Since she chose to be a chess piece, she would think of such consequences.

"My dear, why are you so sad? You are still young and have a long life ahead of you."

An Lingrong looked at the sky outside the house and didn't say anything else.

Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy not only made the people in Jingren Palace restless, but some people were even more anxious than her.

"How could that bitch Chen Meizhuang get pregnant too? If she gives birth to another prince, will there still be a place for me?"

Ever since Fu Cha found out that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, she became more and more irritable.

Before, she was the only one in the palace who was pregnant with the prince, so all the food, clothing and expenses were focused on her first. Even the emperor would come to visit her every now and then.

But now...

She sat on the desk and angrily slapped the table beside her.

Ever since the Emperor knew that Chen Meizhuang was pregnant, he would go to Cunju Hall almost every day, and rewards flowed in like water. Everyone almost forgot about her existence.

"No, this is not a solution."

She thought for a while, not knowing what was in her mind. She waved to the maid beside her to come closer, and then whispered something in her ear.

"My lady, if we are discovered..."

"Just go if you're told to. What are you afraid of? I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Fu Cha's scolding frightened the maid so much that she dared not say anything else and had to retreat and do as she instructed.

Chen Meizhuang, aren't you very proud of being pregnant? Then I will give you a big gift and see how long you can stay happy?

A strange smile appeared on Fucha's face, and her eyes were full of deep calculation.
