She thought that after Situ Yao knew about this, even if he didn't like her, he would give her some rewards or treat her differently for the sake of the child. However, she didn't expect Situ Yao to have no reaction at all, which made Lin Xiaoxiang feel a little puzzled.
After all, the child in her belly might not be the emperor's offspring, so while Lin Xiaoxiang was puzzled, she was also a little worried. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the emperor knew that the child in her belly was not his offspring, so he didn't react.
In the Phoenix Palace, Su Mengyan learned that Lin Xiaoxiang was pregnant. Her face showed no expression. She simply instructed Bixia calmly, "It's rare for a concubine in the harem to be pregnant. As the Empress, I naturally have to express my gratitude. However, I have to take care of the child and I'm afraid I can't leave. Bixia, please go and tell Concubine Lin the good news on my behalf."
After hearing this, Bixia had no choice but to agree.
Although it was a congratulation, Su Mengyan was the mistress of the harem, and since someone in the harem was pregnant, she naturally had to reward her. So after listening to Su Mengyan's words, Bixia looked for some suitable things in Su Mengyan's private storehouse and prepared to go to Lin Xiaoxiang's palace.
Just as Bixia was on her way to Lin Xiaoxiang's palace, she met a guard in armor. The guard was not walking with the others, but alone, and seemed to be hiding from something.
When Wei Yi turned around, he saw Bixia walking under the corridor. His body suddenly shrank in fear.
Bixia just glanced at this strange guard and turned her head away, no longer paying attention.
Bixia thought that the guard was just a little scared when he saw the personal maid beside the Queen, so he behaved like this.
This wasn't the first time this had happened. Some timid people would subconsciously tremble in their hearts when they saw someone in a high position. However, Bixia was also a palace maid, and she didn't think of herself as someone in a high position. So when the guard saw her behave like this, Bixia was just a little disgusted.
Ignoring what just happened, Bixia didn't stop and soon arrived outside Lin Xiaoxiang's main hall. The palace maid guarding outside saw Bixia coming and immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Isn't this Sister Bixia who is by the Queen's side? How come Sister Bixia has time to come to us today?"
They were all palace maids, and Bixia had no intention of looking down on the person who greeted her with a smile. Instead, she smiled and replied, "Isn't this my queen? I heard that your master is pregnant, so I asked me to come over to congratulate her. Is your master here?"
"Yes, ever since the queen found out she was pregnant, she has been taking it very seriously. She is afraid that something might happen to the baby, so she stays in the palace every day to take care of the baby. Please wait a moment. I'll go in and tell the queen right away." After saying that, the palace maid turned and went into the palace.
After a while, the palace maid came out from the palace and said to Bixia with a smile: "Sister Bixia, please go in quickly."
Bixia smiled and nodded to the palace maid, then stepped into the palace.
Lin Xiaoxiang sat on the chair, watching Bixia's figure appear in his sight.
A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Bixia was the favored maidservant of the Queen Mother. Now that she was pregnant, even the Queen Mother came to please her. It turned out that in this harem, only offspring could be relied upon.
After Bixia came in, she bowed to Lin Xiaoxiang in a proper manner: "This servant greets Concubine Lin. The Empress heard that Concubine Lin was pregnant, so she asked this servant to come and congratulate her on her behalf. Congratulations to Concubine Lin."
After hearing Bixia's words, Lin Xiaoxiang felt a little unhappy. Although the Queen Mother was the head of the harem, she was only the Emperor's woman after all. She was also the Emperor's woman. Why didn't the Queen Mother visit her in person when she was pregnant, but only sent a palace maid?
In Lin Xiaoxiang's mind, now that she has the emperor's child, everyone in the harem should be trying to curry favor with her, and the fact that the empress did not come to visit her in person means that she looks down on her.
It must be said that Lin Xiaoxiang was a little bit proud at this time. She had forgotten that although she and the queen were both the emperor's women, their identities and status were still different.
Strictly speaking, the queen is the emperor's wife, and she is just a concubine. No matter what time it is, there is no possibility that the wife will take the initiative to bow down to the concubine and curry favor with her.
After a little thought, Lin Xiaoxiang understood these principles, but she was still a little unhappy. She looked up at Bixia who was still half-squatting in front of her, and the corners of Lin Xiaoxiang's mouth curled up slightly.
"Who did I think it was? Turns out to be just a maid. Stop standing there and get up quickly, or else people will see me and say I'm bullying a servant." At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiang felt that she was the biggest master in the harem.
Although Lin Xiaoxiang's words were a bit unpleasant, Bixia was the one given to the Empress by the Emperor after all, and she had experienced many things, so she was only slightly surprised and regained her composure in an instant.
After hearing Lin Xiaoxiang's words, she stood up obediently. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Lin Xiaoxiang still chattering and insulting her.
Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she understood the difference between master and servant, so she patiently listened to Lin Xiaoxiang's reproach word by word.
After Lin Xiaoxiang made a few sarcastic remarks, she saw that Bixia remained calm and didn't seem to have listened to her words. She also knew that saying anything more would have no effect, so she let Bixia leave.
"Damn it! I'm pregnant with the emperor's child now, and you still dare to ignore me." Lin Xiaoxiang cursed as he watched Bixia's figure gradually walk away.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiang's performance, the palace maids around her were secretly shocked. They saw clearly that Bixia did not take a wrong step after coming in, and treated Lin Xiaoxiang very politely. It was obvious that Lin Xiaoxiang wanted to give Bixia a warning, but she did not expect that Bixia was completely out of her control.
The guard hid in the distance and watched Bixia leave before quietly coming into the palace.
Lin Xiaoxiang didn't expect that the guard was so bold that he dared to come to her right after Bixia. She was shocked, but afraid that her affairs would be exposed, so she immediately asked all the palace maids around her to retreat.
"What are you doing here?" When there were only the guard and himself in the palace, Lin Xiaoxiang asked in a vicious tone.
The guard couldn't help but shrink back. He raised his head and looked at the woman with whom he had had physical contact. He knew in his heart that such a woman would never have a place for him in her heart.
