Chapter 18 The Heartless and Heirless Cruel Emperor 18



"To show your sincerity to the Goddess of Childbirth, kneel down on the cushion and copy it."

Jiang Zhili looked at the small table in front of him and could only agree: "Yes, Empress Dowager."

I just hope Pei Lin can remember her and come to Cining Palace.

She has the memories of her original body, so naturally she can write.

Jiang Zhili knelt on the mat, copying Buddhist scriptures while asking Duoduo to open the map.

On the map in his mind, the blue light spot gradually began to move towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Pei Lin should have left the court.

Looking at the direction the blue dot was moving, Jiang Zhili breathed a sigh of relief. She turned off the map in her mind and began to copy the Buddhist scriptures carefully.

The Empress Dowager is Pei Lin's biological mother. Before she became pregnant, she wanted to live a stable life in the harem, so she naturally could not offend her.

The Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Zhili who was copying Buddhist scriptures seriously, and her aversion to Jiang Zhili was reduced a little.

He is a person who is neither humble nor arrogant.

At this time, the noble nanny at the side came forward and whispered in the Empress Dowager's ear, reporting to her in detail what had just happened along the way.

After listening to Gui Ma's report, the Empress Dowager was slightly satisfied with Jiang Zhili.

Indeed, the person chosen by the host must be correct.

Gui Ma Ma lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty has always been a man of few desires. Now that he has someone he loves, it's inevitable that he will indulge himself a bit. I understand. Everything he does is for the sake of his offspring."

The Queen Mother nodded.

"You're quite right."

Since the emperor returned to the palace, he never entered the harem again, even the place of his most favored concubine. He spent his days guarding the portrait, as if he was possessed.

How can I have children without entering the harem? Now I have a beautiful concubine named Yi, and the host has made a promise beforehand, so it’s just right.

Jiang Zhili only copied for a cup of tea, and his hands and knees didn't hurt, and Pei Lin came in a hurry.

When the Empress Dowager saw it, she found it novel.

"Mother," although Pei Lin called her the Empress Dowager, his black eyes were looking straight at Jiang Zhili.

When he heard the palace maid say that Zhizhi was called away by her mother, his heart was lifted up.

Although he knew that his mother was not someone difficult to get along with, he still felt anxious in his heart.

He was afraid that Zhizhi would be wronged, even though the other party was his mother.

"Look at your nervous face. Do you think I can eat her?" The Queen Mother snorted.

Pei Lin walked to Jiang Zhili and personally helped her up from the mat.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mother. Zhizhi is very fragile. She caught a cold in the cave a few days ago while trying to save me, and she hasn't fully recovered yet."

The Empress Dowager frowned, then suddenly realized what was happening. She was extremely surprised: "Cave! The woman you met in the cave that day was Concubine Yi?!"

She knew that the emperor was assassinated when he left the palace that day, and she also knew that the emperor was saved by a woman and never forgot it.

Although she was grateful to the woman for rescuing her, she was also annoyed that the woman had seduced the emperor's heart, otherwise she would not have intervened and let the emperor carry Concubine Yi to the Ganqing Palace.

Pei Lin nodded, took Jiang Zhili's hand and asked him to sit on the chair.

"What the host said really came true. This is really fate!" The Queen Mother murmured while holding the Buddhist beads, and at the same time, a burst of joy rose in her heart.

The host once said that the emperor had a deep affinity with women with good horoscopes, and even if she was not chosen to enter the palace, she would still enter the palace in the future.

Moreover, after entering the palace, she will give birth to children.

Combined with the emperor's previous posture of looking for someone, doesn't this prove what the host said about the deep fate?

The previous ones all matched up, so the following offspring should also be very effective...

Who knows, maybe Concubine Yi was already pregnant with the prince last night!

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt a surge of regret in her heart.

She shouldn't have asked Concubine Yi to kneel down and copy Buddhist scriptures.

Pei Lin didn't have time to care about what the Empress Dowager was thinking. She looked at Jiang Zhili's pale face and felt a pang of heartache in her heart.

Pei Lin's words were somewhat cold: "Then I will leave first. The weather is hot, I hope my mother will take care of herself."

The Empress Dowager no longer cared about Pei Lin's attitude. She fixed her eyes on Jiang Zhili's lower abdomen and said repeatedly, "Let Concubine Yi rest well. Your Majesty was too harsh on you today."

Jiang Zhili: "..."

Did the Queen Mother think she was pregnant? Why did she keep staring at her belly?

Jiang Zhili naturally didn't know about the hosting matter, but she noticed the change in the Empress Dowager's attitude, and the change was for the good, so she didn't take it to heart.

Jiang Zhili was protected by Pei Lin and walked out of the palace. When he was leaving the palace, he happened to meet the imperial concubine walking towards him.

Early this morning, the imperial concubine received the news that Jiang Zhili was promoted to imperial concubine. She felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue.

She never expected that Jiang Zhili would be so favored. After a night of favor, she jumped three levels. She was so angry that she almost bit her teeth.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. She had been a concubine since she entered the palace and had been in the palace for five years before she was promoted to a noble concubine. How come Jiang Zhili was qualified to jump three levels after his arrival!

While having breakfast, she heard from the palace maids in Cining Palace that the Empress Dowager had summoned Jiang Zhili.

She hadn't even finished her breakfast when she dropped her bowl and chopsticks and hurried to the Cining Palace, just to see how the Empress Dowager was training Jiang Zhili!

It would also allow her to reduce Jiang Zhili's prestige!

Before the imperial concubine entered the palace, she saw Pei Lin, who was dressed in black and was very tall, and naturally she also saw Jiang Zhili, who was holding his hand.

Besides surprise, she felt sad.
