Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down to congratulate. Empress Dowager Li looked stunned and gloomy, the Grand Empress Dowager was so happy that her hands were shaking, and Qin Yi, who was sitting below, was so angry that he crushed the wine cup in his hand.

The status of the Imperial Noble Consort was second only to that of the Empress, and all the concubines present were so jealous that their eyes turned red.

Back then, Yin was named a noble concubine because of her family background as a great general, but she was only a noble concubine. However, Shen Shuyi, who was born as a concubine, was suddenly promoted to imperial noble concubine. Who wouldn't be jealous!

When she gives birth to a prince, won't she be made queen? !

The sounds of singing and dancing continued in the ears, but the people at the banquet had no appetite to eat or drink. The court officials present had originally wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's birthday today to strongly advise against adopting an imperial heir, but unexpectedly, Noble Consort Zhao was pregnant.

Most of the court officials wanted Your Majesty to adopt a child for the sake of the stability of the country. Now that Your Majesty has a son, they naturally will not advise him anymore.

But those courtiers who followed the prince of Qin were in a dilemma. They originally wanted to gain the credit for following the emperor, but now...

Only Prime Minister Shen has been calm and composed. After all, Imperial Concubine Zhao is from his residence, so this honor naturally belongs only to the Prime Minister's residence.

As they drank and exchanged cups, many people flattered him, "Sir Shen is so lucky. He will be the prince's grandfather in the future."

Shen Ruilin was quite pleased with himself and did not notice Qin Yi's sinister face at all.

…

Qin Hao carried Shen Shuyi back to Weiyang Palace, and at the same time an imperial decree was issued.

Whoever among the concubines in the harem plotted to murder the crown prince or the imperial concubine would have his entire clan implicated. For a moment, everyone was focused. They were afraid of death, but they were even more afraid of becoming the sinner of the family.

When Shen Shuyi learned that he was making such a big fuss, he laughed and said, “Your Majesty is too nervous.”

Qin Hao gently placed her on the bed, then he went over and held her in his arms, his face against hers.

"This is our child. We can never be too careful."

"Shu Yi, I am very happy."
