Chapter 94: The dragon seed in the belly is gone

It is midsummer and the heat is scorching.

In Xuanyun Palace, even though Yin Xuan'er was sitting in front of Bingjian, the anger in her heart was still bubbling out.

"Qinghe, is the news true?"

Qing He fanned her while replying, "I also heard from the young palace maids that the Emperor has been dining with Noble Lady Xue almost every day these days, and the Yu Kitchen has specially sent a lot of sour dishes to Lingyun Palace."

Sour taste?

Sour boy and spicy girl, could it be that Xue Youli is not only pregnant, but also pregnant with a little prince?

When Yin Xuan'er thought of this, she could no longer remain calm. She suddenly stood up from the couch and paced back and forth in the hall.

Although Xue Youli did not ask a royal physician to diagnose her pulse these days, she herself knows medical skills. I'm afraid she wants to wait until the baby is stable before announcing it to the public?

Friends who have had abortions know that the fetus is the most unstable in the first three months. It is common for the baby to be lost if it is accidentally bumped or scratched.

However, Yin Xuan'er was well aware of the emperor's importance to Xue Youli. Once Xue Youli gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, wouldn't the position of empress be hers?

no!

She has to think of a solution!

"Qinghe, take the grapes that father sent, and let's go to Ci Ning Temple!"

Looking at the harem, the person who most wanted her to become the empress, besides herself, was her aunt, Empress Dowager Yin.

If she is not in a position to do so, why not leave this difficult matter to her aunt?

After all, if she becomes the mistress of the six palaces, it will not only be her own honor, but also the honor of the entire Duke's Mansion and the Yin family.

She believed that her good aunt would definitely help her!

In Cining Palace, Xue Youli had just finished giving acupuncture to Empress Dowager Yin.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling today?"

Queen Mother Yin looked at Xue Youli with surprise in her eyes, "My headaches are becoming less and less frequent, and my appetite has improved recently. I can eat half a bowl of rice more than before."

Xue Youli put away the silver needle and said, "Your headache has been relieved a lot. I will come to give you acupuncture every three to five days. After another three to five months, you should not have headaches anymore. But you have to avoid certain foods and eat light food, and not drink alcohol."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Queen Mother Yin had been somewhat hostile towards Xue Youli before, and had even secretly made things difficult for her because of Yin Xuaner.

But now, the more she looks at Xue Youli, the more she likes him.

"Madame Li, please bring my pair of jade ruyi and give them to Noble Xue."

Chu Xinyue was standing nearby. Seeing that Queen Mother Yin was in a good mood, she pouted and pretended to be jealous. "Now, the Queen Mother favors Concubine Xue more than Yue'er! Yue'er also likes the pair of jade ruyi very much. She begged you several times, but you were reluctant to give them to Yue'er!"

Queen Mother Yin smiled and said, "You, you, when have I ever been stingy with you? When you get married, I will give you a generous dowry!"

Chu Xinyue and Murong Nan's marriage has been decided, and Queen Mother Yin loves her even more.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Chu Xinyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. The Queen Mother's treasury was filled with priceless treasures.

When she gets married and receives some gifts, she will become a rich woman!

"You, if you can get married and have children for the Murong family sooner, I will be relieved of my worries."

She raised the daughter left by Prince Pingyang and asked the emperor to arrange a marriage for her. In this way, she will have an explanation to her old friend in her afterlife.

Chu Xinyue covered her face in a coquettish manner, "Oh, Queen Mother, Yue'er is still a child now! Let's talk about having a child in a few years!"

Queen Mother Yin couldn't help laughing. "I didn't expect that a girl like you would be shy sometimes. But getting married and having children is human nature. I'm not pushing you. As long as the relationship between husband and wife is good, you will naturally have children."

At this point, she turned her gaze to look at Xue Youli's flat belly and asked meaningfully, "Mr. Xue, what do you think?"

Xue Youli knew that rumors about her pregnancy had spread in the harem in the past few days.

Rumor spreading and belief are basic qualities that a rumor spreader should possess.

Therefore, under the gaze of Empress Dowager Yin, she spoke expectantly, "Your Majesty is right. I also hope that I can give birth to a child for the Emperor as soon as possible."

Queen Mother Yin agreed with this and said, "Yes, it's really lonely to have only Xi'er in the harem. It's time for someone to give Xi'er a brother or sister."

At this moment, Nanny Li came in and reported, "Empress Dowager, Yin Zhaoyi is here to pay her respects to you."

Xue Youli put away the bag of silver needles and took the initiative to speak, "The acupuncture is over. I will take my leave now."

Chu Xinyue hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, I will help you see Ms. Xue off."

Queen Mother Yin looked at them, smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead."

So, Xue Youli took the pair of jade ruyi given by the empress dowager and left with Chu Xinyue.

As soon as they walked out of the hall, Yin Xuan'er came over with Qinghe.

"Aunt, my father asked someone to send some grapes to the palace, and he specifically asked Xuan'er to bring a basket to you."

As Yin Xuan'er spoke, she opened the lid of the basket in Qinghe's hand, revealing bunches of fresh and plump grapes inside, which looked very tempting.

But Queen Mother Yin was in a high position, so what good things must she not have tasted?

She didn't think it was anything strange, and just nodded lightly, "You are thoughtful."

Yin Xuan'er put down the basket, turned around and told Qinghe, "I need to talk to my aunt for a while, you go wait outside."

"yes."

When Queen Mother Yin saw that Yin Xuan'er had sent all the personal maids away, she knew that she had something to say to her that could not be heard by outsiders, so she waved her hand and asked the maids serving her to leave.

When only the aunt and niece were left in the palace, Yin Xuan'er immediately explained her purpose, "Aunt, it's been quite a while since we came back from the temporary palace, but the emperor has not turned over Xuan'er's name card. Xuan'er is worried that someone else will give birth to a prince before Xuan'er. What should I do?"

Although she did not mention Xue Youli explicitly in these words, many people in the harem were now privately speculating that Xue Youli was pregnant. How could the empress dowager not hear her hidden meaning?

For Queen Dowager Yin, it would naturally be the best outcome for Yin Xuan'er to become the empress.

If not, it means she is not as skilled as others.

However, no matter which concubine in the harem is pregnant, she is of royal blood.

When there was no prince in the harem, it was impossible for Empress Dowager Yin to allow anyone to plot against the emperor's offspring.

Even if that person is your own niece!

"Xuan'er, since your goal is to become the empress, you can't just think about the glory of being an empress. You must also have the bearing of an empress. No matter who gives birth to a prince first in the harem, he is the emperor's son. Do you understand what I mean?"
