Chapter 138 Jealousy
"Bitch!" Concubine Yu's eyes were wide open, almost spitting fire.
"Is the Emperor going to favor her alone?"
The emperor has always attached great importance to offspring, and he would also give preferential treatment to concubines who gave birth to offspring.
Today is the day of Concubine Mei's promotion and also the Third Prince's full moon banquet. However, the Emperor did not stay in Mingsexuan but went to Jinyuan Palace instead!
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Ruolan knelt down quickly.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yan is ours, please don't be angry."
The anger on Concubine Yu's face did not fade away, but became even stronger.
"I'm afraid I'm raising a tiger that will become a threat to me. In the future, she will ride on my head!"
Although Situ Nanzhi is not cunning, even the most innocent woman will become unrecognizable and cruel after staying in the palace for a long time.
There is no guarantee that she will want to monopolize the position of empress dowager and the glory of favorite concubine in the future.
Take Concubine Xi for example. In the past, the emperor would have asked about her behavior if she misbehaved in the palace, but today he punished her without even asking why.
And because of Situ Nanzhi's light words, he let Concubine Xi go.
So, could Situ Nanzhi be able to convict me with just a few words in the future?
The more Yu Fei thought about it, the more her headache grew. She clenched her fist and punched her solar plexus.
"Then your Majesty...should I still go and invite the Emperor?" Ruolan said cautiously.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to make the six palaces laugh at you?" Concubine Yu shouted harshly.
Ruolan quickly knelt down and said, "It was my fault. Your Majesty, please don't get angry, or your headache will get worse."

The next day, Liu Yuetang was reclining on the couch taking a nap when a palace maid came to report that Concubine Rong had arrived.
Liu Yuetang opened her eyes and saw Concubine Rong slowly walking in.
"Why are you here at this time, sister?"
In the past, Concubine Rong always came right after meal time to avoid being seen by others.
Rong Jieyu smiled leisurely: "Yu Fei has a headache and doesn't have time to stare at me."
Liu Yuetang quickly ordered Wanqiu, "Make a pot of chrysanthemum tea. Remember to add a few red dates. Rong Jieyu doesn't like the astringent taste of chrysanthemums."
Rong Jieyu's eyes were filled with surprise. "I've only been here a few times, yet you've observed me so carefully."
"Since my elder sister is pregnant, I naturally have to be more careful, for fear that it won't suit her taste."
Rong Jieyu gently sat down, holding onto the table. "Sister, your heart is so delicate and gentle. How could the emperor bear to ignore you?"
Her eyes wandered over Liu Yuetang's face, trying to unravel the mystery of last night.
The emperor dotes on Concubine Yan too much, to the point that it makes people suspicious.
Although men tend to forget their old love when they find a new one.
But the emperor's heart changed too quickly.
Liu Yuetang's face darkened instantly, and she said sadly, "It was indeed my fault yesterday. When I heard the Emperor calling Concubine Yan so affectionately, I lost my composure and knocked over the teacup."
There was not a single flaw on her face. Rong Jieyu looked away half-believingly and half-doubtingly: "Sister, please don't be so reckless in the future."
Since Liu Yuetang refused to talk, she didn't need to ask any more.
Her goal is not the court. Her only wish now is for Concubine Yu to fall as soon as possible so that she can give birth to the child safely and raise him by her side.
Liu Yuetang concealed the depth in her eyes, picked up the teacup beside her and drank slowly.
Since Concubine Rong has become suspicious, others will definitely become suspicious as well.
It seems that we really need to take some drastic measures.
I don't know whether the medicine will be effective.
Liu Yuetang thought secretly in her heart.
After the chrysanthemum tea was served, Concubine Rong took a sip and asked, "Do you think Concubine Yan listened to what I said yesterday?"
Liu Yuetang curled her lips and smiled: "Jieyu Yan is so smart, she will definitely not let us down."
"But..." Rong Jieyu paused.
"I met her in the Jade Concubine's palace. She said whatever she wanted to the Jade Concubine. She treated the Jade Concubine as her own sister and had no defenses at all."
Liu Yuetang smiled as she stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist: "Sister, don't you think she's being too pretentious?"
"It seems her acting skills are so good that she even fooled her sister."
Rong Jieyu pondered for a moment: "Sister, did you discover something?"
Liu Yuetang stroked the smooth and delicate tea lid. "Sister, do you think a girl from an aristocratic family who has been trained for many years and sent to the palace wouldn't understand what musk is?"
"That's of course impossible." Rong Jieyu blurted out.
The Situ family is a large family, and there must be many concubines in the mansion.
Although domestic intrigues are not as insidious as palace intrigues, I have heard of abortion drugs such as musk and safflower since I was a child.
Moreover, Concubine Yan entered the palace to win favor, and she must have a detailed understanding of all the affairs and people in the palace.
How could you not understand what musk is?
"It seems that this Concubine Yan is not someone who can be easily taken care of."
Yes, Liu Yuetang sighed silently.
Fortunately, Concubine Yan was just a pawn. If her father had not colluded with General Ruan and officially selected her into the palace, she would have been a very strong opponent.
Rong Jieyu flicked her nails leisurely. "I'll go to Jade Concubine and add fuel to the fire. I'm sure Jade Concubine will be mad with jealousy."
She has been with Concubine Yu for many years and knows her biggest weakness best.
That's jealousy!
Concubine Yu is too jealous!
As he was speaking, the little guy in his belly seemed to wake up and kicked himself hard, making his stomach bulge out high.
Liu Yuetang also saw it, and she said in astonishment: "This... is this his hand?"
Rong Jieyu reached out and gently patted the bulge, but the child in her belly was too naughty to put down her arms. Instead, she raised her little hands or feet and kicked the other side, making it bulge high.
Rong Jieyu couldn't help but exclaim, "Look, his little hands and legs are so strong."
Her stomach was kicked by the child and it felt like a deformed balloon. Liu Yuetang asked curiously, "Doesn't it hurt?"
Rong Jieyu looked at her bulging belly tenderly, her eyes twinkling with soft stars, and her tone softened slightly: "It hurts a little, but... I'm very happy."
"Touch it." Rong Jieyu turned her belly towards her.
Liu Yuetang slowly stretched out his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.
Only then did I realize that a pregnant woman’s belly is tight, even hard.
She found it hard to believe how the little person could sleep inside such a small belly.
Rong Jieyu felt the life in her belly and her thoughts gradually became vague.
"I was very scared. I was very afraid that he wasn't going to be a healthy baby. Only when I felt the fetal movement did I feel a little relieved."
Liu Yuetang released her hand from her abdomen and said softly, "Sister, you are worrying too much."
Rong Jieyu shook her head: "That's not the case."
There was a hint of bitterness on the corner of her lips: "I know that Concubine Yu is always worried about my belly, so I have to take contraceptive pills every time after serving her in bed."
Liu Yuetang was very surprised: "Then why did my sister get pregnant with this child?"
Rong Jieyu stroked her belly and said, "I didn't take it that day because it was a difficult day for conception according to the imperial physician. But unexpectedly, I got pregnant."
Therefore, she was very afraid that the contraceptive pills she had used before would have an impact on the child.
She took contraceptive pills not because she didn't want or love children.
On the contrary, she loved it and wanted it very much.
She was looking forward to the day when she could get pregnant and raise a child herself.
