Chapter 321 Concubine Shu is Pregnant
The old marquis nodded, looked at the people inside, and said in a deep voice, "Everything that happened today must be kept to yourself. Don't spread it outside. If it gets to someone's ears, it will be a disaster. Also, from now on, no matter what you receive outside, you must always remain vigilant and carefully inspect it before using it. Also, keep an eye on the people in the palace."
The old marquis warned everyone present that today's Su Xue's coming-of-age ceremony had put the Su family in the spotlight and they must not make any mistakes.
I’m afraid it will be impossible for the Marquis of Anding to live a peaceful life in the future.
Everyone listened to the old marquis' words and nodded gloomily. Who would have thought that a coming-of-age ceremony would cause such a commotion? Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
The serious topic had already been discussed. The old marquis cleared his throat, his expression softened, and he said, "Wen'er's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Big brother, go find Lord Luo and discuss it with him. Our mansion doesn't want to make a big fuss, fearing another situation like today's. If that happens, we're afraid we won't have any good consequences."
The old marquis was worried that if Concubine Yun's first plan failed, she would come up with a second one, and she would not be satisfied until the marquis's mansion was wiped out.
Uncle Su and Su Qiwen nodded at the same time, and Uncle Su said, "Okay, then tomorrow morning my son will go to discuss it with Lao Luo."
As soon as Uncle Su finished speaking, Su Qiwen said, "Dad, please help Mom at home, or I will go."
The old marquis looked at Su Qiwen and said, "Okay, then Wen'er, go. It just so happens that there are too many things to do in the past two days. I still have one day to sort out the things at home. Although it's a bit rushed, I still have to get things done.
Fortunately, Miss Yue brought people from the Prince's Mansion in time, otherwise the joke of the Marquis' Mansion would have been seen by the people of the entire capital."
Su Yue smiled and said, "This is all unexpected. No one expected so many people to come all at once. We can buy some servants from the pawnshop tomorrow morning to help serve tea and water. As for the others, I'll have Uncle Jiang bring them over from the palace. They've helped once before and have experience."
Also, there were probably a lot of people that day, just like today, and the people who bought the food didn't think twice and just distributed it to the kitchen. What if there were bad guys hiding in there?
If someone poisons someone randomly, it won't be as simple as just killing one or two people.
After hearing this, the old marquis and the old lady felt that Su Yue was right. They had also thought of that. The old marquis said, "Regarding the personnel, let's do as Miss Yue said. As for the other matters, you two should work together and make sure it's done well."
Uncle Su and Uncle Su nodded.
The old marquis looked at Su Yue lovingly: "Miss Yue, you have helped the Marquis' Mansion so much today. Grandfather thanks you."
The old marquis was sincere. Not to mention the issues of ingredients and personnel in the kitchen, those were all trivial matters, and at most it would just be a joke.
The most important thing is that poisonous headdress. If Yue hadn't discovered it, who knows how big a mess would have happened today.
Su Yue shook her head and said, "Grandfather, you are too polite. I am a member of the Su family. Let's not say those polite words. The most important thing now is to arrange a good marriage for my eldest brother."
"Well, Miss Yue is a sensible girl. Everyone is tired today. Let's go back and have a meal and rest. We still have a lot to do tomorrow."
The old marquis saw that everything that needed to be said had been said and everything that needed to be explained had been explained. He also drank a lot of wine at the banquet today and entertained guests. He was now very tired, so he asked everyone to leave quickly as they needed to rest.
Everyone knew that the old marquis and the old lady were indeed very tired today. She was so old and had been busy all day.
Some people stayed behind to take care of the old man, and everyone else left.
Su Yue followed the eldest lady back to her courtyard, had dinner with them, and then returned to her own courtyard. When she came back, Murong Li was already asleep.
She covered him with a quilt, added some charcoal to the stove, then went into the space to take a bath, worked in the space for an hour, and then came out to sleep.
In Taigan Palace, after the emperor listened to what the ninth eunuch said about what happened in the Anding Marquis' Mansion today, the emperor kept tapping the table with his fingers and his eyes kept moving. No one knew what he was thinking.
The ninth eunuch lowered his head and waited for the emperor to speak, wondering in his heart, what does the emperor mean by this?
Is this suspicion of King Li?
The emperor's thoughts are really hard to guess. He was about to pass the throne to Prince Li, but now he is suspicious of him. What other plans does the emperor have?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come to Wanyi Palace soon. The Concubine Shu is pregnant."
Just as the emperor and the ninth eunuch were silent, a eunuch's loud shout suddenly came from outside the palace gate.
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly looked up and his face was immediately filled with joy. He quickly stood up, waved to the Ninth Eunuch, and hurried away with the eunuchs from Wanyi Palace.
The Ninth Eunuch sighed and retreated.
When the emperor rushed to Wanyi Palace, the palace was full of joy. Seeing the emperor coming, the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground. The emperor just waved at them and strode towards Shufei's bedroom.
Shufei was lying on the bed at this moment, her face full of joy, her hand gently stroking her lower abdomen. When she saw the emperor rushing in, she quickly got up to greet the emperor.
The emperor walked over quickly and held her down: "My beloved concubine, don't move."
After saying that, he sat down on the edge of the bed, holding Concubine Shu's hands tightly.
Concubine Shu is thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She is very good at taking care of herself. Now she looks only twenty-eight or twenty-nine. She is naturally beautiful, and now her face is flushed, which makes her look even more beautiful. The emperor's eyes sparkle when he sees her.
He asked gently, "Is my beloved concubine really pregnant?"
Concubine Su nodded shyly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I'm just over a month old. I found out when Imperial Physician Liu took my pulse."
When Concubine Shu learned that she was pregnant, she was both happy and surprised. She was happy that she could still be pregnant at such an old age, but she was surprised that the emperor, who had already passed his 55th birthday, could still make a concubine pregnant.
At the same time, there is also a sense of crisis. If she can get pregnant, then there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the concubines who are younger and more beautiful than her can also get pregnant.
The emperor knew about Doctor Liu, an old doctor who was best at treating women's diseases and children's diseases. He could accurately diagnose if a woman was only one month pregnant.
This meant that Concubine Shu was indeed pregnant with a prince. The emperor laughed heartily and said happily, "Hahahaha... I have another prince."
How could he not be happy? He was almost sixty years old, and he was still able to make his concubines pregnant. This showed that he was in good health.
Ever since his health improved, he felt full of strength, especially after drinking the water that Su Yue brought into the palace, he felt as vigorous as he was in his youth.
He also thought that since he only had two sons now, and the other two were still underage princesses, why not give birth to a few more princes.
Given his current physical condition, he would have no problem living another ten or twenty years, and by then he could choose his favorite heir from among the many princes.
