[Father.]
Don't blame me for reminding you.
That eldest prince, he doesn't like women.
If you really pass the throne to the eldest prince, the harem will become a man's world, and it will be incredibly lively.
Emperor Yuanwu:...
This was originally a rather serious matter.
Mu Qianqian's few words stirred things up.
What she just said.
The eldest prince doesn't like women...?
If you don't like women, do you prefer eunuchs? Or men?!
absurd!
This Mu Qianqian is too protective of her own.
He only asked her mother a couple of questions.
He actually said he likes men.
Emperor Yuanwu waved his hand at Consort Shu with some annoyance: "Alright, alright, Consort Shu, get up quickly. I was just asking casually, I had no other intentions."
However, Mu Qianqian made a valid point about one thing.
There are indeed too few princes in this palace.
Besides Consort Shu's children, there is only the eldest prince.
This is indeed a problem.
Emperor Yuanwu played with Mu Qianqian for a while, but he was not in the mood, so he returned to his study.
When Consort Zhen woke up.
It was already dark outside.
"Sister, what... what's wrong with me?" Consort Zhen forced herself to sit up.
"Lie down quickly." Consort Shu smiled and said, "Congratulations, sister. I'm fine, I'm just pregnant."
Consort Zhen was stunned for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "Really...really?"
She looked down at her stomach and gently touched it with her hand: "I'm pregnant?"
"Yes, Imperial Physician Li has confirmed it repeatedly," Consort Shu said confidently.
"And what about the Emperor?" Consort Zhen asked expectantly.
"Your Majesty," Consort Shu said casually, "His Majesty said that you are weak and need to rest in bed more. He is very optimistic about your pregnancy. I reckon that His Majesty will come to see you after he finishes his business."
Consort Zhen's tense expression finally eased a bit: "Sister, this side hall is truly a blessed place. Back then, Xia Siqi was so deeply poisoned that even the imperial physicians were helpless. I never expected that she would recover here."
A fleeting, unnatural expression crossed Consort Shu's face, but it vanished in an instant, quickly returning to its previous state.
"If you like it here, sister, you can stay as long as you want," Consort Shu said softly.
Consort Zhen's eyes lit up with joy: "Then I will respectfully accept your offer and trouble you, elder sister."
Consort Shu and Consort Zhen chatted for a few minutes before returning to their respective palaces.
As soon as she stepped into the palace room, Bin'er said anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you crazy? Didn't you hear what the imperial physician said? It's very difficult for Consort Zhen to keep this pregnancy. If she continues to stay in our Qiluan Garden, we can't afford to suffer any consequences if something happens to her. Your Majesty should quickly think of a way to send her back to her own Qingfeng Garden."
Consort Shu frowned deeply.
She had naturally already thought of what Bin'er was saying.
However, since Consort Zhen has spoken up...
She couldn't very well just kick people out.
It was evening.
As expected, Emperor Yuanwu came to Qiluan Garden to visit Consort Zhen.
Consort Shu, holding Mu Qianqian, stood at the entrance of her palace, watching Emperor Yuanwu enter through the main gate of Qiluan Garden and head straight for the side hall.
Bin'er couldn't help but spit: "Your Majesty, look at this, the Emperor can't even remember our Seventh Princess anymore. She's pregnant and should go back to her own palace. What's with the act of being weak in our Qiluan Garden?"
