The talented woman is pregnant.
Not long after Wei Shuyi woke up, he heard the good news from the chattering Jingning.
Wei Shuyi saw how much she valued the child. Now, she also had a child of her own, which was truly a great joy.
"I've thought about it carefully, and I feel that it's because of the good feng shui of our Sangyuxuan! Lady Liangcai was a concubine for so long, and she also served in the emperor's bedchamber, but she didn't get pregnant. And now? The emperor just stopped by to see her a few times, and then..."
"Jingning, be careful with your words!" Wei Shuyi interrupted her immediately, "The Emperor hasn't disliked you, so why would he give you alms? You must not mention this in front of you!"
Although Liang Cairen is not petty and would not dwell on such words, Wei Shuyi cares deeply about it.
Afraid that he couldn't manage his subordinates well, his unintentional words became a sharp weapon that severed the relationship in the future.
Jingning stammered without saying anything more. After wiping the porcelain vase, he left the inner hall.
Wen Yu then comforted her, "Miss, we all know what kind of heart this girl has. She has no ill intentions."
"People who know her well will naturally understand her. If we continue to let her speak without thinking, she will definitely be killed if she encounters an unfamiliar master in the future!"
"Yes, the girl means well. I hope she can figure it out."
Wei Shuyi supported her waist and stood up, continuing to walk around the room. She had been deliberately reducing the time she spent sitting and lying down, and the frequent walking had also worked. Her bloated figure had finally improved.
"Wenyu, go to the storeroom and pick out some auspicious and valuable items. Let's go congratulate my sister!"
"I have prepared it long ago. When you are free, you can go and congratulate the talented man."
Although it was only the position of a talented person, someone in the family was related to the Queen Mother. After learning about this, the Queen Mother made a special trip to Fengluan Palace, and for a while, the place was extremely lively.
"Just like your grandmother, you're a blessed child. Now that He Xichang has been here for a long time, your temperament has become much calmer, which is a good thing!"
As she was speaking, Wei Shuyi walked in: "Sister, I'm here to congratulate you! I... pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
"Hurry up and help your mistress steady herself. Don't go through all this formality when you're pregnant. Come and sit down."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
They sat around Liang Cairen's bed, and in a trance, they seemed to have returned to the days in Shoukang Palace, accompanied by Yinzhu and several other sisters.
However, due to the selfish desires and power struggles, only a few winners remain.
"Has the imperial physician come to see him? What did he say?"
Liang Cairen frowned at this, then quickly relaxed: "When I woke up this morning, I felt a tightness in my chest and wanted to vomit. The palace maid beside me went to ask the imperial physician to take my pulse, and he told me that I was pregnant. I still don't know the specific situation."
"You! How can you not pay attention to your own affairs?" The Queen Mother turned around and instructed Aunt Zijin, "Send two capable imperial physicians to take care of them. They just dealt with someone with ill intentions not long ago. You have to be careful."
"yes."
The Queen Mother took Wei Shuyi's hand again, her gaze lingering over her belly for a long time: "In a while, the eldest son of our Great Zhou will be born! Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel happy all over. I wish I could open my eyes and see that day!"
"Empress Dowager, would you be disappointed if I could only give birth to a princess?"
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'm happy!" The other party didn't seem to care, and didn't seem to be trying to hide it. "I asked the emperor before, and since he doesn't care, why should I be anxious?"
Xie Yanci?
She felt a little relieved and just hoped that the child would be safe and happy and not be criticized.
I glanced outside the door inadvertently and saw Jin Han's figure flash by.
Wei Shuyi was heavy and it was not convenient for him to get up suddenly to go out and investigate, so he gave Wen Yu a look. The latter understood and went in that direction.
Following this path, we arrived at the main hall of Fengluan Palace.
Jin Han hurriedly reported to the Queen, "Your Majesty, I just went to ask around and even the Queen Mother is here! They're all so proud of themselves!"
"knew."
"My Lady, did the Master teach you how to do this? There's another person in the palace..."
The Queen was extremely annoyed. Hearing Jin Han's words, she slammed the table and scolded, "In the past, there have been so many concubines in the palace who have become pregnant. Whether they can keep the baby is still a question. What are you afraid of?! Besides, she is so lucky to have such good fortune in my palace, and it is also because of my good fortune. I will have it in the future too!"
"Yes, your Highness is still young, she can definitely do it."
Wen Yu pretended to be passing by, eavesdropped on a few words, and then turned back and left.
The one who was even more surprised than the Queen of Fengluan Palace was Concubine Jin of Chengqian Palace.
After entering the palace, she was favored by the emperor, but she was unable to give birth to a son or daughter. The bitter medicine she drank over the years could be stored in a jar, but why was there no effect at all?
"Your Majesty, please don't be sad. When I was young, my elders told me that there are different kinds of blessed people, and some of them have to wait to receive God's blessings." Qian Dai, the personal maid, soothed her softly, "Your Majesty, those who accept blessings too early often don't have a good ending. We can just wait and see. If we give birth to a gifted prince, it's very likely that he will inherit the throne!"
"I can't even hope for a virtuous and eldest son to be crowned. The Fengluan Palace has such good feng shui, and the talented lady is already pregnant after just over a month of living there. What if the Empress also announces the good news? How will I cope?"
The legitimate son, the eldest son, was about to be taken away by someone else. As a concubine who was favored by the harem, she felt humiliated and was going to be ridiculed and stabbed in the back by those who envied her!
Concubine Jin was crying heartbroken, but when she looked up, she saw the emperor. She stopped crying in surprise, "Your Majesty? Why are you here? I thought you would go visit the talented lady after reviewing the memorials."
"I know you'll be feeling down, so I came to see you first." Xie Yanci reached out and wiped her tears himself, full of concern. "I remember the imperial physician specifically told you, Yao'er, not to worry too much, let alone cry! If you do that in the long run, it will affect your health."
Concubine Jin seemed to remember something. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and blinked hard, only then did she swallow back the bitterness.
"I know I was wrong and I will correct it immediately!"
"You! Don't I also look forward to having a child of our own? You and I are not in our seventies or eighties now, where we are willing but unable to do anything. There is still a long time to go, so don't rush."
Hearing this, Concubine Jin felt much relieved. After leaning close to the emperor's chest, she whispered with a heavy nasal voice, "I sometimes doubt whether I am an unlucky person. Other sisters always have good things happen to them, but I have nothing left except the emperor's favor. Even the little friendship in my family cannot stand up to scrutiny."
Xie Yanci held her hand and tightened it suddenly!
He forced down his surging emotions and emphasized again, "Yao'er, you are the lucky star of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Stop complaining about yourself! During the year-end sacrifice, I will accompany you to pray for a child. Okay?"
"Really?! Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Outside Chengqian Palace, clusters of flowers swayed.
The scattered petals flew out of the palace and headed straight towards Yiqingtai.
