Chapter 128: Fighting with an egg against a rock
Her lower abdomen was tight, and when I touched it I realized that her belly was slightly bulging.
Liu Yuetang's hands were shaking a little, fearing that she might accidentally touch the baby in her belly if she was too heavy.
"She moved again. Did you feel it?"
Rong Jieyu couldn't suppress her excitement and asked Liu Yuetang again.
Liu Yuetang placed her palm quietly on her lower abdomen, but did not feel the fetal movement that Rong Jieyu had mentioned.
She smiled and shook her head: "I guess you are too young, I can't feel it yet."
As she said this, she was about to pull her hand away.
Rong Jieyu felt her movement, the smile on her lips froze slightly, and she let go of her hand embarrassedly.
"I...I was excited for a moment, please don't laugh at me, sister."
Liu Yuetang smiled brightly and said, "Sister is a good mother."
Rong Jieyu lowered her eyes to look at her lower abdomen, stroking it lightly with her fingertips, "This is the only good thing I have."
After entering the palace for four years, he was subservient to Concubine Yu and helped her kill one life after another.
She had already dyed herself into an unrecognizable appearance.
But for the child in her belly, she can give everything, even her own life.
March is the height of spring, with mist and clouds all around, and it is the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom.
The Weiyang Palace was filled with peach blossoms, quietly blooming on the branches.
Concubine Yu looked at the gorgeous peach blossoms in the vase and said, "The peach blossoms in the Peach Garden are in full bloom this year. In previous years, my sisters and I have always gone to the garden together. I wonder when we will go this year?"
The Queen cast a deep glance at Concubine Yu. "This year, Concubine Rong, Concubine Bai, and Su Baolin are all pregnant. It's not appropriate for them to go to the garden, so I won't organize any."
Jade Concubine chuckled softly, and the pearls and jade on her head jingled slightly, as clear and pleasant as her laughter.
"It stands to reason that a pregnant woman should move around more, especially Concubine Bai."
Her eyes flickered towards Bai Jieyu's belly and said, "Bai Jieyu is about to give birth, right? She should move around more, otherwise the birth will be very difficult."
Bai Jieyu stroked her bulging belly and said, "Don't worry, Madam Yufei. I've practiced martial arts since childhood and am much healthier than the women of the Central Plains. I'm sure I'll be able to give birth to an heir smoothly and quickly."
There were smiles in each other's eyes, but there were undercurrents in their eyes.
Liu Yuetang couldn't help but sigh that the people in the palace really knew how to train people.
Bai Jieyu, who had just entered the palace, was not so polite in her words. When she started to argue with people, even Concubine Yu was so angry that her face turned black.
Now I know how to restrain myself.
But then again, she's about to give birth, and it's the last month, so she probably doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
The Jade Concubine stroked her temples and smiled. The pearl on her cheek made her face look crystal clear and her eyes look dim.
Concubine Chu looked at Concubine Bai's bulging belly and said, "Concubine Bai is already eight months pregnant, right? Her belly doesn't look very big."
Mingpin also looked over.
Bai Jieyu's pregnancy was tight and her belly was pointed. It was said that this kind of pregnancy was most likely a boy.
Her eyes darkened, and her throat felt like she had swallowed a lemon.
After a while, he could only say: "It has been a long time since the palace has had a child. I don't know if it will be a princess or a prince this time."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly said, "There are two princes and a princess in the palace now. If Concubine Bai gives birth to another princess, it will be a good omen for her."
"Oh? But I..." Bai Jieyu realized her mistake when the words came to her lips, and changed her words: "I think both princes and princesses are good."
Although she wanted to give birth to a prince, she would also like a princess.
As long as she gave birth to an heir to the throne, her status would surely rise.
Then she would be the master of the palace.
Thinking of this, Bai Jieyu raised the corners of her lips slightly and stroked her bulging belly.
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Concubine Bai got on the sedan chair with a proud look on her face. When her eyes met Liu Yuetang standing beside her, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her hand to let the palace servants lift the sedan chair.
Liu Zheng looked at her back and snorted softly, "She usually says that women from the Central Plains are delicate, but now she's begging the Emperor to grant her a sedan chair."
Ever since Concubine Bai nearly had a miscarriage in the Plum Garden last time, she has asked the Emperor for the honor of riding in a sedan chair when traveling.
Liu Yuetang said calmly, "What she wants is not a sedan chair, but glory."
As she spoke, she waved to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng leaned over and listened to Liu Yuetang whispering softly in her ear: "Spread the news and say that Concubine Bai is most likely pregnant with a boy."
Liu Zheng was stunned at first, then she understood and nodded slightly.
Looking at the spring scenery in the garden, Liu Yuetang felt relaxed and happy.
She believed that this news would make Concubine Yu completely uneasy.
Since someone else has taken action, why should she dirty her hands?
"Sister." A gentle and melodious voice sounded behind me.
Liu Yuetang turned around and saw Su Nanqing walking towards her with graceful steps.
She was wearing a long dress of sheen, the wide dress just covered her slightly pregnant belly, and instead made her waist look slender and delicate.
Liu Yuetang reached out to support her, and Su Nanqing took her arm.
"When I asked Taxue to deliver something that day, she said that Concubine Rong was playing chess with you. Have you been close to Concubine Rong recently?"
Liu Yuetang smiled and said, "Not really. She likes playing chess, so she comes to my palace occasionally to play a few games."
Su Nanqing turned around and looked around, and said solemnly: "Sister, I guessed what you want to do."
Liu Yuetang paused for a moment and looked up in a daze.
She continued, "Jieyu Rong is not a simple person. I'm afraid that if you fail to get rid of Concubine Yu, you will end up getting yourself into trouble."
Seeing that Su Nanqing had guessed it, Liu Yuetang did not deny it and said, "I know that you are thinking about me, but can you please trust me just once? I am sure of it."
Su Nanqing took a deep breath and frowned, "The Ruan family is now extremely powerful, and even the emperor has to be wary of them. Why are you trying to fight a rock with an egg?"
"Even if we want revenge, there's no need to rush it."
As she spoke, she grasped Liu Yuetang's hand, her eyes filled with worry and uneasiness. "Just listen to me and be patient, okay? Don't form an alliance with Concubine Rong, and don't go after Concubine Yu. Wait until I give birth to the child and give it to you to raise. By then, our status will have gradually stabilized, and we can slowly plan this matter, okay?"
Liu Yuetang was deeply moved. Su Nanqing really cared about her, but... for now she had to move Concubine Yu.
He also had to take advantage of Concubine Rong's anger to ensure that Concubine Yu would never be able to turn things around.
There are many things that involve state affairs that she cannot speak directly about.
Liu Yuetang also raised her hand and held hers, her eyes firm and resolute: "Don't worry, sister, I will be careful and will not put myself in danger."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Su Nanqing felt heavy in his chest, and was depressed and worried for a while.
She is pregnant now and cannot accompany her. She must protect the baby in her belly.
But Liu Yuetang is her only sister in the deep palace. What should she do if something happens to her?
Who can I entrust to raise the baby in my belly?
Su Nanqing sighed heavily and pulled her hand out: "You won't listen to me anyway, so be careful. If there is any danger, stop immediately."
"Especially Concubine Rong, you must not trust her too much."
Liu Yuetang nodded and said softly, "I understand, sister."
Perhaps due to the overthinking during pregnancy, Su Nanqing felt that this matter was too dangerous and was filled with anxiety. She was also annoyed that Liu Yuetang did not listen to her advice and was too eager to succeed.
So, she lost interest, talked with Liu Yuetang for a while and then returned to the palace.
