Harem Fighting Strategy 12
Not long after Tao Yuan returned to Fenghua Palace, Xiao Junye came in a hurry.
When Xiao Junye heard the news that Tao Yuan was pregnant, he was even happier and more excited than the Queen Mother. He finally had his first child, and it was his beloved who was pregnant. How could he not be excited?
"Axi!" Xiao Junye strode towards Tao Yuan.
"Your Majesty." Tao Yuan stood up and looked at him.
Xiao Junye hugged him tightly and said, "We have a child, right?"
Tao Yuan leaned her head on his shoulder, hugged his waist and said, "Yes, he's here. In a few months, he'll be able to come out and meet us."
"Axi," Xiao Junye said excitedly, looking at Tao Yuan. "Ever since you came to my side, good things have happened one after another. I finally have a child, and it's your child. I'm so happy. Can you imagine how happy I am? I wasn't even this happy on the day I ascended the throne."
"I know, because I love Your Majesty, and I am very, very happy to be able to give birth to a child for Your Majesty," said Tao Yuan.
Xiao Junye picked him up, walked to the bed, carefully put him on the bed, and pulled the quilt over him.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Junye looked at him and said, "I've sent two imperial physicians to stay in the side hall and take your pulse three times a day."
"I'm not feeling unwell and don't need to stay in bed. I just need the imperial physician to come once a day." Tao Yuan held his face and said, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous. The child and I are fine. We are healthy. I will definitely give birth to the baby safely."
Xiao Junye held his hand and said seriously, "Not only does he need to be safe, you also need to be safe. I want to grow old with you."
"Well, I will definitely live in peace and stay with Your Majesty until old age." Tao Yuan said with a smile.
Xiao Junye looked at Tao Yuan and earnestly instructed, "There are still many people in the palace who belong to the Grand Empress Dowager and Prince Yu. Before I replace them all with my own people, you should try to stay in Fenghua Palace to take care of your pregnancy, and go to the Queen Mother less often. I will explain the reason to her, and she won't blame you. But you don't need to worry too much. I will increase the guards in Fenghua Palace and send more people to protect you secretly. You just need to be careful and take care of your pregnancy in peace."
"I understand. I will be more careful and take good care of the baby." Tao Yuan said seriously.
Xiao Junye was the emperor, so he definitely couldn't stay by his side all the time. Tao Yuan spent most of his time sleeping alone in the bedroom. Because he had entered a sleepiness phase and felt sleepy all day long, even if he stayed alone and did nothing, he wouldn't feel bored at all.
In the following time, many tributes were sent to the palace. The Queen Mother was very happy and sent tributes such as fruits and supplements, which were not available in large quantities in a year, to Fenghua Palace continuously. The concubines in the harem were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
Because this was not only the emperor's first child, but also the eldest son, the empress dowager was happy that Xiao Junye could finally have a child, and Xiao Junye was happy because Tao Yuan was pregnant with his child. The result of both of them being happy was that they kept sending good things to Fenghua Palace.
Tao Yuan looked at the piles of things and thought to himself, "This mother and child must be beside themselves with joy. If it were anyone else, who knows how much pressure they would have to endure. Under such immense pressure, could they still focus on the pregnancy?" If someone wasn't mentally strong enough, it was hard to say whether they could successfully give birth.
………………………………………………
When Ye Rong returned to Mingcui Palace that day, he flew into a rage and smashed all the porcelain in the room. He was only able to do this because he was surrounded by Prince Yu's people. If Prince Yu hadn't had so many people in the palace, he wouldn't have dared to vent his anger like this. If word got to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, not only would his well-maintained image be severely damaged, but their favorability towards him would also be reduced.
Ye Rong was exhausted from the beating and sat down on the bed, panting. The anger in his heart was still hard to dispel. He should have been the one to conceive the emperor's eldest son, but that person had gotten there first.
Ye Rong couldn't understand why Tao Yuan had been suppressing him since he entered the palace. He thought it was okay that the emperor clearly favored Tao Yuan, but he didn't even bother to pretend to be nice to him. Now Tao Yuan had gotten pregnant first, and he couldn't figure out why he was always inferior to Tao Yuan.
Ye Rong thought with a sinister look in his eyes that he must not let him give birth to the child smoothly.
Lin Qing walked in from outside and glanced at the debris on the ground. He carefully walked around and walked to Ye Rong's side, saying softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yu has entered the palace and is currently in the Empress Dowager's palace."
"I understand." Ye Rong looked at the debris on the ground and said, "Let someone clean it up."
"Yes." Lin Qing walked out and came back with people after a while. They quickly cleaned up the fragments and replaced them with new porcelain.
Ye Rong placed his hand on his belly, thinking to himself that he had to get pregnant quickly. To do so, he had to increase his time with Prince Yu. However, if he visited the Empress Dowager too frequently during the day, it would surely arouse the Emperor's suspicion. It seemed that he could only have Prince Yu secretly visit him late at night when the Emperor wasn't there.
At night, Ye Rong lay in bed waiting for Prince Yu. Although it was very late, he was not sleepy at all because he had learned that Tao Yuan was pregnant during the day.
The heavy curtains were opened, and Ye Rong saw the person standing beside the bed and immediately sat up. "Your Highness!"
Xiao Yuyang closed the curtains, sat down beside the bed, and hugged Ye Rong tightly, "Arong."
The two have not seen each other for more than a month. Even if Prince Yu disregards the emperor, he cannot enter the palace too frequently because he still has to consider the thoughts of those ministers.
"Your Highness, did you know that the Queen is pregnant?" Ye Rong asked him.
"I already know about it. Don't worry, I will never let that child be born." Xiao Yuyang assured him.
"I also want to get pregnant with Your Highness's child soon. Your Highness should come to the palace more often recently." Ye Rong looked at him and said.
"Okay." Prince Yu pressed him down and began to take off his pants. "The Empress Dowager has been feeling unwell lately. I will use the excuse of visiting her as an excuse to come into the palace more often."
"Your Highness, go deeper, please let me get pregnant soon." Ye Rong said anxiously, holding his waist.
The fact that Tao Yuan had gotten pregnant before him had made him even more anxious and desperate. He hadn't been able to conceive Prince Yu's child, and so he hadn't been able to have sex with Xiao Junye. He felt that the reason he couldn't improve Xiao Junye's affection for him was because he had never actually had sex with him while he was awake. If he had done it while he was awake, he would have quickly become addicted to his body, just like Xiao Yuyang had.
Xiao Yuyang left after staying for more than two hours. Ye Rong lay on the bed tiredly. Before falling asleep, he was still thinking that he must get pregnant as soon as possible.
Because Tao Yuan was pregnant, she did not have to pay her respects to the empress dowager early in the morning every day. However, many concubines in the harem came to pay their respects to him. As for whether they met him or not, it depended on his mood.
He basically didn't see other people, too lazy to waste the energy to deal with them. But when Ye Rong came, he would see him, because it was quite interesting to see him forcing himself to act.
"This picture of delivering a child was painted specially for you, Your Majesty. I hope you will not despise my poor painting skills." Ye Rong unfolded the painting with his own hands and placed it on the table in front of Tao Yuan.
Tao Yuan looked at the chubby white child in the painting and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is thoughtful. The child in this painting is so white, chubby and cute, and the painting is so lifelike. How could I dislike it?"
"This pot of Phalaenopsis orchid was given by the Empress Dowager. I thought that Your Majesty has everything she needs, so I gave it to You so that You can play with it to pass the time." Ye Rong took the Phalaenopsis orchid from the servant's hand and placed it on the table personally.
When Tao Yuan approached him, he smelled the fragrance on his clothes and asked in a puzzled manner, "What kind of incense does Your Majesty use?"
"It's a blend of several kinds of fragrant herbs." Ye Rong looked at him and said, "Is it the incense I used that made Your Majesty feel uncomfortable? Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will pay more attention next time."
In reality, the incense on Ye Rong's robe was meant to mask the scent of the medicine bag he was wearing. The bag contained a miscarriage poison he had personally prepared, and if you smelled it too often during early pregnancy, it would be very easy to miscarry. He planned to do it more often, allowing Tao Yuan to inhale more. He had taken the antidote himself, so it wouldn't matter if he smelled it.
"Neither I nor Your Majesty like incense, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to like using such strong incense." Tao Yuan advised him with a virtuous and magnanimous look, "Your Majesty is busy with affairs of state every day. Only when he comes to the harem can he relax and rest a little. Your Majesty currently only comes to my Fenghua Palace and Your Majesty's Mingcui Palace. I am pregnant now, so it is not convenient for me to serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty will go to Mingcui Palace more often in the future. Your Majesty should also pay more attention and learn more about Your Majesty's preferences. It is better not to use these incense in the future."
"Yes." Ye Rong answered respectfully.
Tao Yuan placed her hand on her still very flat belly and said, "I am pregnant. The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are very happy. Your Majesty should also work harder to conceive sooner. Your Majesty has been to Mingcui Palace and Fenghua Palace almost as often, but only I am pregnant while Your Majesty has not. This is really strange. Is there something wrong with Your Majesty's health? It's better to let the imperial physician take your pulse and make a thorough diagnosis. Then, he can prescribe some medicine to regulate your condition and strive to conceive sooner."
"Every two or three days, the imperial physician comes to check my pulse. There's nothing wrong with my body. I'm not pregnant, it's just that the opportunity hasn't arrived yet." Ye Rong managed to maintain composure on his face, but in his heart he was already cursing. Could it be that whether or not I could get pregnant depended solely on my efforts? And they even said he had a health problem. We'll just have to wait and see who ends up with the problem.
Tao Yuan nodded. "You're right. Whether or not you can get pregnant depends on chance. I've always felt that children will choose their parents before they are born. Who doesn't want to be the eldest son? Your Majesty is also a legitimate son, so you should understand, right?"
"Yes..." Ye Rong was very angry, but in order to let Tao Yuan inhale more of the smell of the medicine bag, he could only endure it.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Tao Yuan was immune to all poisons. Not to mention the medicine bag, even if he was given the medicine directly, it would have no effect on him.
Tao Yuan deliberately spoke sarcastically to Ye Rong for a long time, wanting to see how long he could endure.
When Ye Rong offered to resign, he left with a lot of anger. He really didn't expect that with his powerful aura as the protagonist, he would still be bullied like this. He should be the only one who made others suffer. Why did things develop into this way?
After returning to Mingcui Palace, Ye Rong smashed all the porcelain to vent her anger, thinking that she must get pregnant quickly to vent her anger.
As a result, the number of times he and Prince Yu had affairs became more frequent.
