Chapter 23 The master has calculated and said that the eldest princess will bring bad luck to the baby in your belly

When Bei Jing first saw the frail beauty, she admired her in her heart:

[The emperor is so lucky, all the beauties in his harem are so beautiful.]

[Looking at Concubine Shu's eyes, I'm about to tear my hair out. Shouldn't I kiss her first? 】

Emperor: ...How can you be so evil at such a young age? Where did you learn these weird things?

After everyone left, the palace maids helped the concubine who had seen the emperor off back home, comforting her:

"Your Majesty is so doting on him because he finally got a healthy child."

"When our little master is born, he will definitely be no worse than the eldest princess."

Everything has been peaceful since the last news of Concubine Shu's pregnancy.

The only difference was that Bei Jingchu's wet nurses had less and less milk, and she gradually didn't have enough to eat.

"You didn't get it today?"

Bei Jingchu pricked up her little ears to listen.

One of them shook his head, "The eunuch said that Concubine Shu is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and they should take good care of her."

"He said he was tired every day and needed to eat more, so he took away all the good meat and vegetables."

[My goodness, can Shufei's pregnancy affect me? ]

[Such a huge palace is the only thing missing these two? He has to fight for food???]

Yu Ma Ma was indignant: "She is carrying the heir to the throne. Doesn't that mean our little princess is also the heir to the throne?"

"There is not enough milk-producing food. Now our milk is not enough for the little princess!"

"When His Majesty comes to pick up the princess, shall we tell Eunuch Jiang about this?"

"No!" another person rejected.

"Our milk has stopped flowing and we can no longer breastfeed our little princess."

"Then she was sent out of the palace, and there was no monthly salary to send back home. What would her family do?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

They all come from poor backgrounds, otherwise who would come to be a wet nurse?

Yu Mama retorted: "But if the little princess gets too hungry, that's a serious crime. When the time comes, we'll investigate..."

"No, she eats every meal, but she doesn't eat enough."

"At most, I didn't take good care of myself when I was a child, so I grew up to be weak."

"Even if we investigate, we can't find out that it's our fault. As long as we don't say anything, who would know that the child didn't eat enough when he was young?"

Bei Jingchu: [Ah, this... Actually, I know it myself. ]

When Madam Yu heard the little princess's thoughts, she looked at these heartless people with hatred.

The princess is very smart, but it's not time to settle the accounts yet.

She pretended to agree with them and prepared to wait until no one was around to tell Eunuch Jiang alone.

Then today, when Bei Jingchu was in Yu's study, her thoughts revolved around one word: hungry.

[I’m hungry~ I’m so hungry~ I’m really hungry~]

I even sang in my heart: [So hungry, so hungry, so hungry, I’m really hungry~]

He sang the emperor directly out of the pile of memorials.

He frowned. The little guy has been hungry lately.

Even if the appetite increases, how much can a baby eat? Wouldn't a few wet nurses be enough to feed it?

At this time, Eunuch Jiang came in and whispered a few words in his ear, and the emperor became furious.

"How can this be possible! You wicked slave!"

He looked at Eunuch Jiang unhappily: "Didn't I tell you to find a good wet nurse? Is this the one you found?"

Eunuch Jiang knelt down and said, "I have failed in my duty."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Deal with those slaves yourself."

Eunuch Jiang withdrew.

Bei Jingchu listened to the progress of the matter, as if it was related to her, and had a puzzled look on her face.

[What happened? They found out just now? Did someone tell on me? Could it be Madam Yu?]

She just knew it!

At least the people who make it to the favorability chart are not there in vain.

The emperor was relieved. It was indeed Yu Mama. Fortunately, there was still a loyal one among them.

Then the emperor sent someone to convey his order, and all the cunning servants in Concubine Shu's palace who took advantage of their power were punished.

In the past, the harem was managed by the Imperial Concubine. Not long after her death, these people became undisciplined.

The emperor realized that he had to find someone else to manage him.

So Concubine Xian was called in. Now, of the high-ranking concubines who had died, only she and Concubine Shu were left.

It was impossible for the emperor to leave the matter to a pregnant woman.

But Concubine Xian said that she was very busy practicing martial arts every day and had no time to do these things.

So the emperor had a headache. To whom should he entrust the affairs of the harem?

[Fang Zhaoyi, she is a management talent. But she was put into the palace and buried. I feel sorry for her.]

Hearing this baby voice, the emperor realized that he had read it out loud.

He searched his mind for a while and finally remembered Fang Zhaoyi, but he didn't have a deep impression of her and he couldn't think of her usually.

Is he a management talent?

After Shufei's maids were punished, she received news that Fang Zhaoyi was promoted to Fangfei and took over the power to assist in managing the six palaces that she had always dreamed of.

He was so angry that he hammered the chair.

"Your Majesty, you are trying to show me your power! It's just that the Shang Palace Bureau saw that I was holding the Dragon Heir and showed more respect to him. So what?"

"A child won't die if he or she goes hungry for a few meals.

It's all because of that damn girl that His Majesty would rather give the power to assist the six palaces to a Zhaoyi than to me!

"What's the point of me being a concubine?"

The maidservant could only coax him, "Master, don't get too angry. It would be bad if you hurt the young master."

"His Majesty has said that whoever gives birth to the eldest prince will become the empress. As long as you give birth to a prince..."

Everything is self-evident.

"When you ascend the throne, don't even think about the right to assist. It will be others who will assist you. The most urgent thing is to take care of the baby."

Concubine Shu forced herself to calm down, "Yes, the imperial physician said that my pregnancy is weak this time, so I can't get angry."

When the emperor came to see her again holding Bei Jingchu, she frowned and looked worried.

"Your Majesty and I are both healthy people. The last time we were pregnant, the baby was strong. How come the baby is weak this time?"

[It's just a matter of probability. Not all healthy parents can give birth to healthy children.]

[The imperial physician said it was normal, but the mother refused to listen. Alas, I understand.]

The emperor also heard from the imperial physician that it was normal.

But he could only comfort Concubine Shu and go along with her.

So Concubine Shu said she wanted her mother, Madam Yang, to go to the temple to get a talisman and send it to the palace. The emperor agreed, thinking it was not a big deal.

Madam Yang was also allowed to enter the palace to accompany her while she waited for the birth of her baby.

As for why not ask the national teacher?

The Imperial Preceptor only comes out when the fate of the country is at stake, such as when Chu Er's supernatural powers have an impact on the fate of the country.

Madam Yang entered the palace the next day and brought a piece of news:

"I went to a fortune teller and he said that the eldest princess will harm the baby in your belly."

"Really!" Concubine Shu covered her mouth in surprise.

Madam Yang nodded affirmatively: "That's right, then the master asked me if your husband has any other children born to his concubines."

"It is said that the biggest one will bring bad luck to your child."
