"Hahaha, they would never expect that!"
Ye An successfully intercepted the man, took credit for it with a smile, and turned around to meet Mu Ci's deep black eyes.
Ye An's face suddenly felt hot.
He pulled Mu Ci onto the dragon chariot, not simply because he wanted to go to Changle Palace together. He is three months old today, and Mu Ci's injuries are almost healed. Now that he has no meat to eat, kisses and hugs can be used as some consolation, right?
Ye An has always missed Mu Ci, even when they were together every night. Especially after he won the argument with the Censor, he wanted to be the first to let Mu Ci know about this special position of Chen Fei. Would he like it?
"Brother Aci, woo——"
Ye An had just opened his mouth to call out when his mouth was blocked and a tongue was forced into him. He felt limp all over and tried his best to hook the other person's tongue. While he was in a daze, the person holding him turned his body over so that he was sitting facing the other person.
Ever since Mu Ci entered the palace, the few times they had been intimate were mostly initiated by Ye An. After all, given Mu Ci's education and the difference in status between the emperor and his concubine, Ye An understood it and did not force it. But now, Mu Ci's eyes were filled with enough surging emotions to overwhelm him, and he knew what the other person was thinking without even having to think about it.
Ye An was stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged Mu Ci happily.
This was the first time Mu Ci took the initiative, and Ye An was very happy to do it. He quickly urged him, "The imperial physician said that it will be OK in three months... Brother Ah Ci, I'm already three months old!"
Mu Ci laughed: "I know."
In recent days, Ye Xiaoan has been counting on his fingers every night. If he doesn't know the days clearly, he will be like a piece of wood.
Ye An blushed and pretended not to understand, "Then...what is Brother Aci going to do?"
Ye An's belly was more fleshy, and he had started to wear loose clothes. Mu Ci noticed and whispered, "Xiao An, are your bandages still on?"
Ye An said: "If it doesn't itch anymore, take it off."
As the pregnancy progressed, the various uncomfortable symptoms had basically disappeared and the sleepiness had also been reduced a lot.
Mu Ci uttered a "hmm", and even though he knew that he was no longer feeling uncomfortable, he still "diligently" massaged him.
The curtains on the sedan chair had been drawn long ago, and it was impossible to easily see what was going on inside from the outside. Mu Ci left a string of dense kisses on Ye An's cheek. Although the dragon chariot was heading towards Changle Palace, it took the most circuitous and longest route, and its speed was also extremely slow. Mu Ci had already discovered that they had enough time to get rid of their longing for each other.
Ye An was so embarrassed that her whole body turned red. Listening to the slight sound of the wheel tracks and looking at the shadows of the trees reflected on the curtains, she gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep happily curled up in Mu Ci's arms.
Mu Ci wiped his sweaty cheeks and watched over him quietly, only waking him up when they were almost at Changle Palace.
Ye An's steps were a little unsteady, and Mu Ci supported him. Since Ye An was pregnant, it was not too abrupt.
However, the two of them left before the other concubines, and when they arrived at Changle Palace, they were a full quarter of an hour later than the other concubines. Everyone was already waiting in the main hall. The empress dowager looked at them teasingly.
Ye An apologized, "Father, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I accidentally fell asleep on the dragon chariot for a while."
The Queen Mother had seen all kinds of situations before, so she smiled and tried to smooth things over, "You are pregnant, so it is normal to feel sleepy."
Some of the concubines had sharp ears and heard the emperor's voice, which was hoarse but full of satisfaction. Some of them had good eyesight and caught a few faint red marks on the emperor's fair neck. They then looked at the calm Concubine Chen, their eyes full of obscurity.
After greeting each other, Ye An and Mu Ci sat down next to the empress dowager, while Wen Ziran sat with Concubines Qiao and Yang. The concubines recalled that the last time in Changle Palace, the emperor sat between Mu Ci and Wen Ziran, but now he sat alone with Concubine Chen, and before that he had turned over Concubine Chen's nameplate every day. What did this indicate? It seems that Concubine De is no match for Concubine Chen. Although she was promoted, she has fallen out of favor just like them.
The concubines didn't know what to feel. Half of them felt sympathy for Wen Ziran, while the other half felt that they were meddling in other people's business. After all, Concubine De had been favored, but what about them?
Wen Ziran smiled amiably. Although the emperor usually always surrounded Mu Ci, he also gave him a lot of rewards. Wen Ziran has been secretly preparing things to leave the palace recently. Compared with the invisible imperial favor and the visible rewards, the rewards are of course the most reliable. Now that he has been promoted, his allowance should increase several times. Wen Ziran is still decent and reserved to the outside world, maintaining the demeanor of a male concubine, but deep down he is so happy that he has already crossed his legs.
Qiao Yunting had the most complicated feelings. In the past, he could still deceive himself by saying that the emperor had just lost his memory and was unwell. After all, no one in the harem favored him. But then Wen Ziran suddenly appeared, and now it was Mu Ci. Qiao Yunting couldn’t understand. In terms of identity, appearance, and expertise, he was almost the same as Mu Ci. Why didn’t the emperor have any interest in him?
Moreover, any discerning person could see who helped him get promoted this time, which made Qiao Yunting feel even more uncomfortable.
Yang Shuxuan has been coughing non-stop since he entered the palace. He has been ill for several months and there has been no improvement. The smell of medicine on his body is getting stronger and stronger.
Several high-ranking concubines all had their own thoughts. Almost all of them were promoted half a level this time, except for Yelu Han and Li Guiji, who were not among those who expressed gratitude.
Yelu Han was originally the Prince of Yu Luo. After entering the palace, he acted aloof and disdained to interact with other concubines. He usually did not attend such occasions. The concubines had long been accustomed to it and would never mention him no matter what. The Queen Mother also disliked Yelu Han, and Cui Lan sneaked into the Xuande Hall through Yelu Han that day. Ye An suspected for a while that Yelu Han was Cui Lan's spy in the palace. He ordered An Er to investigate carefully, and found out that Yelu Han, this idiot, was completely deceived by Cui Lan.
At first, Yelu Han couldn't enter the Xuande Hall. Cui Lan, disguised as a eunuch, approached Yelu Han and convinced him with a few words, promising that as long as he did as he said, he would be able to enter, on the condition that he would be brought with him. Yelu Han, the brainless man, actually agreed immediately. Cui Lan's method was to instigate Yelu Han to kowtow outside until his head was broken and bleeding, which aroused Ye An's sympathy. This could also explain why Yelu Han was not able to take Cui Lan with him when he was asked to leave, because Cui Lan simply did not listen to Yelu Han, and Yelu Han could not order him around.
Even though Yelu Han was being used, he was still Cui Lan's accomplice. The empress dowager was very angry and demoted Shunpin to Shunguiren. Naturally, Yelu Han would not be promoted to this level. What's more, the brainless little prince didn't care about his position and didn't even think of apologizing afterwards, and no one reminded him.
As for Li Guiji, it seemed that she had offended the late emperor with her words last time, which made the empress dowager very unhappy. Since then, the empress dowager has been asking Li Guiji to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion, and she has no chance of promotion this time.
The Queen Mother waited for everyone to sit down and gave a speech in front of everyone: "Since you have all been promoted, you should be grateful. I have been feeling a little tired recently. The Concubine Chen has the highest position at the moment, so she will be in charge of the palace affairs from now on."
The Queen Mother has now thought it through clearly. If the Emperor were to make Mu Ci the Queen, she would not stop him anyway. So why not be generous and train her? This way she can have a leisurely life in the future instead of having to rush around after the Emperor has made her the Queen.
It was a good thing that the Queen Mother was willing to give up her power. Ye An had been in the palace for so long that he knew what it meant to be in charge of palace affairs. He was afraid that his calm and indifferent brother A Ci would push it away. He rushed to care about the Queen Mother's health and said, "Thank you, Father. It's just that he has only been in the palace for a short time and doesn't understand many things. Please give him more guidance."
The Queen Mother looked down upon the Emperor for protecting Mu Ci like a hen protecting her chicks, and she laughed and scolded: "If there is anything he doesn't understand, I will allow him to ask. I will teach him in person. Is there any problem?"
Ye An responded with a chuckle, and Mu Ci also kowtowed to the Queen Mother to express his gratitude. This was the only way to sit on the throne in the future. Ye Xiaoan thought too much, and it was something he wished for that the Queen Mother was willing to give him some advice.
The concubines who were watching from the side were so jealous that their teeth were about to fall out. The Queen Mother didn't like Mu Ci before, so what happened? How could the palace affairs that even Su Qinghuai couldn't get be given to Mu Ci in a blink of an eye? !
But the Queen Mother had decided to do so, and no matter how jealous they were, it was useless.
"De Fei." The Queen Mother looked at Wen Ziran with a smile: "Now that you have been promoted, Rui Xue Xuan is a bit far after all. Do you want to move to another place?"
The Empress Dowager was also very concerned about the Emperor's other favorite concubine.
Wen Ziran stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Queen Mother. I am very happy in Ruixuexuan. You don't have to move around. It's a waste of money and time, and it also makes the Queen Mother and the Emperor worry about me."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Although everyone in the palace was saying that Wen Ziran had the reputation of being a crazy concubine, the Queen Mother thought that she was a sensible person.
Ye An knew Ran's sister's temper very well, and said to the Queen Mother: "Father, Queen, Ran is kind-hearted. Since he is unwilling to move to the palace, why don't you increase his allowance a little bit as compensation?"
The Queen Mother agreed, and since all palace affairs would be handed over to the Concubine Chen, she asked Mu Ci to write it down.
Ye An and Wen Ziran looked at each other "affectionately", and were both impressed by each other's wonderful acting skills.
Mu Ci saw it all, and even though he knew in advance that Wen Ziran was an ally, he still couldn't help but glance at Ye An.
Ye An felt a numbness on his back and looked at his brother A Ci in a flattering manner. He reached out his dragon claws from under his sleeve to hold Mu Ci's hand and was a little flustered for a moment.
The Queen Mother was close this time, and could see Ye An's glances clearly. She felt like she was going blind.
After the Queen Mother finished her lecture, the concubines came forward to congratulate Ye An and Mu Ci in turn. Mu Ci made the emperor pregnant with a dragon heir, which made them jealous the most. Earlier, the emperor cried out that he was pregnant, but after all, no definite news came out. For the safety of the dragon heir, the Queen Mother turned this into a rumor, and the concubines didn't take it seriously. After so long, they all thought it was fake. Who knew that the emperor said that he was pregnant for three months and Mu Ci was the father of the dragon heir...
Look, this is natural luck. There were so many concubines before, but the emperor didn't do anything. This person came and made the emperor pregnant. It's really enviable!
Although the concubines felt jealous, they were still sincere towards the emperor. Although the heir was not theirs, they still hoped that the emperor could give birth to the child safely and smoothly.
Before Jixiang Ruyi could finish his words, a man walked in from outside and entered the main hall as if no one was around. Several eunuchs tried to stop him in a panic, but this man was very rude and walked straight up to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, ordered the eunuch to withdraw, and said with disgust: "Shun Guiren, what are you doing here?"
Yelu Han, who was demoted to a noble, turned a deaf ear to it, raised his ice-blue eyes and stared at Ye An. His quiet expression made people creepy.
Yelu Han said softly, "Your Majesty, do you really want to send me back to Yuluo?"
Ye An said: "...Yes."
He had this plan and there was no need to hide it. Before that, he had to deal with Ye Zhi and Cui Lan, and take care of Mu Ci. After announcing the pregnancy, he would grant amnesty to the whole country. He had a lot of things to do. He wanted to wait until he was done with this. After all, Yelu Han was sent by Yu Luo, and the return had to be formal. Sending him away in a hurry would be too cruel to the king of Yu Luo.
Who would have thought that before he could make any move, Yelu Han came running over to question him.
Yelu Han pointed at Mu Ci coldly and said, "Could it be that this person advised the Emperor to abandon me?"
Ye An said angrily: "Yelü Han, don't talk nonsense. I want to send you back to Yu Luo. It's your own problem and has nothing to do with others."
Yelu Han raised his head and laughed twice with a bitter sound in his throat.
"What do you mean irrelevant? Your Majesty, you must have been deceived by him. He is not Long Si's biological father at all!"
Ye An: “…”
Ye An jumped up: "You are talking nonsense!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Don't worry.
Yelu Han is a trouble maker. After this time, I will say goodbye to him completely.
We have a God's perspective and know whose child it is. In fact, for the concubines, there may be controversy over whose child it is. Didn't Ye An also turn over Ran Mei's sign? But no one dared to say it, only the fool Yelu Han said it!
