Chapter 36 Le Guiren is pregnant
Thinking that tomorrow is Pei Xian's death anniversary, the Crown Prince and his companions had to set out early. After breakfast, Concubine Chen asked Jinyu to invite the Crown Prince and the Second Prince to Qingyun Palace.
Naturally, she had to give them instructions before she could feel at ease.
"Aunt," the prince arrived at Qingyun Palace first, and saw Lu Xingwan still sitting on the couch and playing, so he picked her up as usual.
"Have you been good, Wanwan?"
Lu Xingwan also rubbed against the prince.
[Of course I am a good fairy! I just accompanied my mother to eat! ]
It was only at this time that Concubine Chen felt that her entry into the palace was not in vain and that the Crown Prince was a polite and filial man.
Whenever I look at the prince, I can't help but think of what Wanwan said, that the prince is not suitable for the throne, but judging from his recent performances, he does have the demeanor of an emperor.
While she was thinking, Jinyu came back and said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince has gone to Concubine Lan's place. I wanted to come back and tell you about it first."
"Forget it. There is no need to invite him. I will just tell the prince."
As he was speaking, Pei Chuyan came in from outside: "Greetings to Concubine Chen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince smiled and helped him up: "I have already told my aunt that now that you are living in my aunt's palace, you should just treat me as your elder brother. There is no need to be so polite."
Pei Chuyan, however, bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness, etiquette cannot be abandoned."
The prince wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Concubine Chen Gui: "Jin Yao, stop it."
Then he turned to look at Pei Chuyan: "I think Chuyan is very pedantic despite his young age!"
He smiled again and told them to sit down.
"Mingjing Temple is not too close, but it's not too far either. It will take an hour for the carriage to get there. When you go out, you should take fewer guards with you. The key is to take more personal guards with you so that they can protect you at critical moments."
The prince noticed the seriousness in Concubine Chen's words and answered carefully, "Don't worry, auntie. I have already made the arrangements."
Concubine Chen nodded and looked at Pei Chuyan again: "This is your family affair, I can't say more, but Miss He is a woman after all, there are some difficulties that you men don't understand."
"It's not easy for her to make a living alone in the backyard of the He Mansion. You should interact with her more in the future and let the He family know that there are still people in the Anguo Mansion!"
"With your presence in my palace, I will often summon her to my palace in the future. I think Minister He will treat her better when he sees this."
When Pei Chuyan heard Concubine Chen's words, he suddenly looked up into her eyes, but saw that she was full of sincerity, so he immediately stood up and knelt down: "Thank you, Concubine."
Concubine Chen Guifei was busy helping him up.
Lu Xingwan moved a little on the couch beside her and started dancing happily.
[Wow, my mother is a fairy! She is so beautiful and kind. ]
[I wonder if my mother, with her beauty, can be ranked in the top ten in our world of immortal cultivation? ]
[Wuwuwu, I miss my sister Qionghua so much. The crab roe cakes made by sister Qionghua are the most delicious. 】
Concubine Chen couldn't help but secretly note in her heart that Wanwan loved to eat crab roe cakes. When she grows up a little, she will make some for her herself.
Pei Chuyan couldn't help but speak: "But I'm afraid my trip will be delayed for two days."
Concubine Chen knew what he meant, and quickly comforted him: "Just go do your own thing, Wanwan and I are both in the palace..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Xingwan's baby voice.
[It’s great to be a man. You can go out of the palace and have fun often! ]
[Since I came to this great Chu State, except for a visit to my grandparents’ home, I have never left the palace. ]
[I am so jealous, so jealous. I am tired of saying jealous. 】
Concubine Chen thought to herself: Where did you put the polo match from a few days ago?
However, he kept Lu Xingwan's words in his heart and pondered over it for half a day. In the end, he did not speak to the prince and the other two. Of course, he had to ask the Emperor of Great Chu first about this matter.
After the Crown Prince left Qingyun Palace, Concubine Chen stood up and ordered, "Let's go to Yu's study to find His Majesty."
Although Jinxin and Jinyu were confused, they still stood up and helped Concubine Chen to pack. Concubine Chen then ordered, "Take Wanwan with you."
The group then left Qingyun Palace.
When he was almost approaching Yu's study, he unexpectedly ran into Mr. Le who had just come out of Yu's study.
"Your Majesty, that is Lady Le in front. Judging from her appearance, it seems that there is some happy event." Jinyu has always been careful and observant.
Noble Lady Le also saw Concubine Chen from a distance, and hurried forward to greet her politely: "Greetings to Concubine Chen."
Although Concubine Chen did not like the intrigues of Concubine Le, she looked kind: "I haven't seen Concubine Le for a few days. I heard that you are not feeling well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty," Lady Le said shyly, "I felt unwell a few days ago and thought I was sick. I asked the imperial physician to see me yesterday and found out that I am pregnant."
Concubine Chen was stunned. So fast?
"In this case, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and Mr. Le."
"Thank you, madam."
Lu Xingwan started mumbling again.
[She's actually pregnant? In the storybook, this noble lady Le is also quite miserable. She had only been in the palace for a month or two when her father was killed by the King Rong, and she also died tragically under the sword.]
[I didn't expect that there would be so many variables. I don't know if Le Guiren will give birth to a little prince for my father.]
[Or in other words, can we keep this child? ]
Listening to Wanwan's thoughts, Concubine Chen suddenly became alert and asked Concubine Le, "Does His Majesty know about this?"
Lady Le was a little puzzled as to why Concubine Chen asked this question. Shouldn't such a happy event be told to His Majesty? Could it be that Concubine Chen was jealous of her pregnancy?
But a few days ago, my mother wrote to me and reminded me to be careful in the palace, to control my temper, to be cautious in what I say and do, and to remember my identity.
She suppressed her doubts and replied respectfully, "I was the first to inform Your Majesty of this happy event."
But for some reason, His Majesty was not as happy as he had imagined.
Yes, the Emperor of Great Chu now has many descendants, although there are only five princes. But now that the Crown Prince has succeeded, there will be successors. How can he care too much about an unborn child?
Concubine Chen Guifei said, "Since you are pregnant, please ask His Majesty to ask a reliable imperial physician to diagnose your pulse. You should also be careful in your daily life. Everything you put near or in your mouth should be carefully tested before you take it..."
After saying this, he waved his hand again and said, "Forget it, you go back to the palace first, I will go and talk to His Majesty."
Then he looked at the maid beside Noble Lady Le and said, "Be careful and support your master."
After saying this, he left in a hurry with Jinyu.
Le Guiren and his servant were left in bewilderment.
"Looking at Concubine Chen's expression, it seems that she values my baby very much?" Le Guiren muttered. Looking at Concubine Chen, it seemed that she cared about me more than the Emperor of Great Chu.
The maidservant beside him embraced Noble Lady Le and said, "Of course, our master is also a loyal minister, and Concubine Chen will definitely help Miss."
Noble Lady Le shook her head. Concubine Chen looked very cheerful and seemed to be sincere.
