Chapter 107 What do you mean?

A few days passed in a flash.

A week has passed since Wen Chuyun became pregnant.

The harem still seemed peaceful and nothing strange happened anymore.

The death of the young eunuch was like a small stone falling into the lake, leaving no splash at all.

"Your Majesty, this is too much!" Chan'er and Yingchun came back carrying food boxes, with indignant looks on their faces.

Bai Wutong was thinking about what to do.

Wen Chuyun and I are enemies, but the child in her belly... is innocent.

He came to the palace to seek revenge because he lost his parents.

If she attacked the child, how would that be different from what Jin Weige did in the past?

In addition, Wen Chuyun was surrounded by many guards, so she had not yet come up with any good way to deal with the current situation.

Bai Wutong raised his head. After a few days, his face, which had finally turned rosy, became more haggard again. "What's wrong?"

Chan'er opened the food box, "My Queen, look! You used to eat golden bird's nests, but now they are all replaced with this ordinary bird's nest. That's fine, but the medicinal food you usually eat is gone too!"

Yingchun next to her said, "Your Majesty, the golden bird's nest and medicinal food were all given to Concubine Wen. The imperial kitchen said that these things are quite expensive, and even the palace can only get a few every year, so there is no way to share them between two people."

Chan'er put the bird's nest bowl heavily on the table. "What do you mean it's not enough? The Queen Mother eats it every day. She has been eating it for many years, and the Imperial Kitchen has never said it's not enough. It's obvious that they don't want to give it to us. Your Majesty, it must be the Queen Mother's order. You don't know how stingy she is."

"According to common sense, all concubines who have slept with the emperor should be promoted. But in order to save a little bit of money, they won't promote you until the end of the year. That's fine, but now that you are pregnant, they are deducting your things. If you don't know, you would think that the imperial palace is so poor that it has no money left."

Even the dignitaries outside the palace did not withhold anything from pregnant women.

Chan'er cursed the Queen Mother in her heart as an old witch, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Bai Wutong was used to it. That's how it is in the harem. Whoever is favored gets the good things. If you are not favored, then you will be treated harshly.

A concubine who has no sense of existence will be tripped up by palace servants even if she is a master.

"This is all I need. After all, it's not someone else's leftovers." Bai Wutong picked up the bird's nest and ate it in small bites. "Chan'er, why didn't I notice that you were so talkative before?"

Chan'er was stunned. She had indeed changed a lot. She was completely different from before. "It was your majesty who gave me the confidence. I will say less in the future."

"Well, it's fine if you just talk to me about these things today, but you can't show any of them when you go out. It's not our turn to say anything about what the Queen Mother does."

Even the emperor can't do anything about it, so it's useless for them to say anything.

After eating the bird's nest, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came.

Now that spring has arrived, it’s time to buy many new things.

The originally dark and heavy curtains were replaced with gauze curtains.

Yingchun looked at the pattern and couldn't help asking, "Wait a minute, didn't they make a new turquoise curtain this year? Why are they still giving us last year's aquamarine? And why are these ornaments also from last year? Why aren't there any new ones made this year?"

The eunuch who was doing the work smiled flatteringly, "I don't know about that. It was all ordered by the superiors. Please don't embarrass me."

Yingchun didn't waste any words, took out the gold leaf and stuffed it in, "Just tell me, I won't tell anyone."

"All the new things made this year... have been sent to Wangyou Palace." The eunuch looked at Bai Wutong's face and quickly changed the subject, "All the things are here. Please check if there is anything missing. If there is, I will go to other ladies."

Bai Wutong nodded, "Go ahead."

The eunuch ran away in a hurry.

"Don't have such a sullen face. Hurry up and tidy up the things. Hang up what needs to be hung and put what needs to be put in place." Bai Wutong lowered his head and continued to eat the breakfast in his hand.

Chan'er looked at her and felt distressed. "My Lady, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it out. Don't hold it in."

"I'm fine." Bai Wutong is not the type of person who would complain. She has long been accustomed to handling everything on her own.

The two had no choice but to get busy first.

Chan'er would look back whenever she had nothing to do. Seeing Bai Wutong's thin figure and big belly, her heart felt like someone was squeezing it and she couldn't breathe.

She lowered her voice and moved closer to Yingchun, "Sister Yingchun, the queen and the emperor are in a good relationship, but Concubine Wen is pregnant, which has ruined the queen's plans. Concubine Wen also tried to harm the queen many times before, which is really abominable."

She knew more than Yingchun and still remembered the dress and purse.

Yingchun glanced at her but didn't stop working. "What do you mean? I'm warning you, don't do anything bad behind the Empress's back. If you're discovered, it will be the Empress' fault in the end."

Chan'er didn't say anything else, but her mind was in turmoil.

After breakfast, Bai Wutong leaned on the couch and stroked his belly.

We can't keep waiting like this.

Since the emperor won't come to see her.

Then she would find a way to see the emperor.

If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain.

Bai Wutong stood up, "Yingchun, come and help me put on my makeup. In this palace, the most important thing is the emperor's heart. If I can really make the emperor unable to stop wanting me, let alone Wen Chuyun being pregnant, even if the imperial concubine is pregnant, I will still be the most important."

Wen Chuyun didn't have the chance to take action.

Then try every means to win over the emperor!

Yingchun came over and said, "Your Highness, you are right. I will help you put on your makeup right away."

After tidying up his appearance, Bai Wutong carried the still hot stew and went to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as he reached the door, Wang Decai stepped forward and saluted, "Empress Zhao, why are you here suddenly?"

"I came to see the emperor." Bai Wutong looked at her belly with a gentle and moving smile. "The emperor has been reading poems and preaching to the children. Seeing that the month is getting bigger and bigger, if he falls behind, all the previous efforts will be in vain. I thought it would be inconvenient for the emperor to come to my place, so I came here."

How could Wang Decai not understand what she was thinking.

Unfortunately...

"Empress Zhao, please go back. The emperor has no time to visit the harem these days. Don't think too much. The emperor also has no time to visit Empress Wen."

Bai Wutong was puzzled, "Oh? Why?"

"Although the southern border is stable, there is a group of nomadic barbarians in the northern border. Now that spring has arrived, the situation there has calmed down, but they are starting to cause trouble again. The emperor is worried about this matter, so you should go back as soon as possible."

Having said this, Bai Wutong had no choice but to go back home.

Why does it feel like even God is against her?

Wen Chuyun is pregnant, and now something bad has happened in Northern Xinjiang.

Each of these things was an obstacle to her getting closer to the emperor.

At this moment, several female doctors came hurriedly, and seeing her, they stopped and saluted, "Your servants greet Her Majesty Zhaopin."

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Empress Wen is suffering from severe morning sickness, and the Empress Dowager asked us to go over there quickly."
