Chapter 208 The Legend of Zhen Huan, Guarjia Wenyuan 7

Upon returning to Chuxiu Palace, Guarjia Wenyuan went straight into the main hall. She had already moved most of her belongings, and she could move into the main hall today.

Consort Wan was imprisoned in Suiyu Pavilion. The Emperor only gave her the allowance of a concubine. Consort Wan fell ill and was bedridden. Liu Zhu had already ordered that a royal physician be brought to treat her.

The imperial physician discovered that Consort Wan was pregnant. The emperor restored her rank and privileges, but did not lift her confinement. Consort Wan begged the emperor to issue an edict allowing the empress to personally care for her pregnancy.

More than half a month later, news also spread from Chuxiu Palace that Guarjia Wenyuan was one month pregnant.

When she was conferred the title of Consort Qi, she began preparing for pregnancy. She was pregnant before the investiture ceremony, but the imperial physicians could not detect it until now.

The Emperor agreed to let the Empress take care of Consort Wan's pregnancy, but he couldn't show favoritism, so the Empress also needed to take care of Guarjia Wenyuan's pregnancy.

Xianfu Palace —

“Sister Jingfei, today is Princess Wenyi’s birthday. This is a birthday gift that I have prepared for the princess.”

Jingtai and two palace maids behind Guarjia Wenyuan handed the gifts in their hands to Consort Jing's palace maid.

"Consort Qi, you've gone to so much trouble." Consort Jing smiled like a flower, looking radiant.

Since raising Wenyi, Consort Jing has been smiling all the time and looks much younger.

"Thank you, Lady Qi," Wen Yi said in her childish voice.

"You're welcome," said Guarjia Wenyuan, patting Princess Wenyi's head.

"Please sit down and rest, you're quite pregnant." Consort Jing quickly helped her to sit down. "You're about five months along, aren't you?"

“Yes, it’s been five months,” Guarjia Wenyuan replied with a smile.

Consort Jing had milk served, asking, "Did I not bother you?"

"No, this child is very well-behaved, without any of the nausea or vomiting that pregnant women usually experience." Guarjia Wenyuan shook her head, looking quite pleased with herself.

Consort Jing put her arm around Wen Yi and nodded, saying, "This child is good and loves her mother."

Seeing Wenyi staring intently at her belly, Guarjia Wenyuan asked with a charming smile, "Wenyi, do you want a little brother or a little sister?"

Wen Yi smiled softly, and said with a hint of greed, "Can't I have both?"

Amused by Wen Yi's adorable appearance, Guarjia Wenyuan said:

"Well, both Consort Qi and Consort Wan are pregnant. As for whether Wenyi's wish can be fulfilled, we'll have to wait and see."

Wen Yi asked, "How long will it take?"

Consort Jing looked at Wen Yi gently and replied, "It will take at least four or five months."

"Why is it taking so long? Can't it be faster? Wenyi wants to see her younger brother and sister sooner."

“No, not at all.” Guarjia Wenyuan shook her head.

"Sigh." Wen Yi sighed like a little adult, looking extremely disappointed, which made everyone laugh.

Guarjia Emin did not falsely accuse Zhen Yuandao of secretly keeping Qian Mingshi's "Ancient Fragrance Pavilion Poetry Collection" this time, but because the poetry in this collection was rebellious.

The emperor ordered officials to write poems to rebuke him, but Zhen Yuandao declined, claiming that his literary skills were poor.

Later, Zhen Yuandao advised the emperor in court that the case of Qian Mingshi should be stopped.

The Emperor was already dissatisfied with Zhen Yuandao's refusal to write poetry, and now Zhen Yuandao's words made him believe that Zhen Yuandao was sympathizing with Qian Mingshi and pleading for him.

Because of the previous favor shown to Consort Wan, Zhen Yuandao's official career had been rising steadily, which had long been the envy of many people.

Guarjia Wenyuan arranged for Zhen Yuandao's political enemies to learn that Zhen Yuandao had secretly kept the daughter of a disgraced official as a concubine, had made the concubine serve as a maid to take care of his legitimate daughter, and had even arranged for her to accompany Consort Wan into the palace.

Now that Zhen Yuandao has angered the Emperor, it is the perfect time to expose this matter.
