Chapter 558 Like a Brothel
[Didn't you say before you left that your father was going to select concubines? Why haven't you seen any newcomers enter the palace yet? ]
[Could it be that Father really missed Mother so much that he couldn't sleep at night that he didn't even want the new bride?]
[Didn't the storybook say that? All men in this world like new things and hate old things.]
[I don’t believe it! ]
The Emperor of Great Chu once again had the idea of tearing up the entire book that Lu Xingwan was reading.
The little girl used to be in the world of immortal cultivation. What kind of novels did her master show her?
But it is true that he is quite resistant to this pick this time.
Because of this matter, not only Concubine Lan, but even the Queen Mother had come to see him many times.
He said that Concubine Lan had already selected the beauties who were to enter the palace, and was just waiting for him to spare some time to meet them and then select a few that he liked.
But he didn't want to see them for a long time.
Wanwan was right. He always seemed to feel guilty towards Song Qingyan.
However, Lu Xingwan did not let his father go.
[Didn't Empress Lan say that she had already decided on the person? ]
[If Father doesn't come to see me for a long time, and I can't get married, I can only wait at home. Isn't that a waste of time? ]
【Father is going too far! 】
The Great Chu Emperor couldn't help but look down at the little baby in his arms. He felt that what she said made some sense, and perhaps he should have finalized it earlier.
Seeing that my mother's health is not very good, I can't go against her wishes again.
Perhaps because she was anxious to see Concubine Wen, Concubine Lan also became less interested.
Seeing that His Majesty was there again, she could not say a few words to Qingyan, so she simply said a few perfunctory words and turned around and left with the concubines.
Because the Royal Concubine returned to the palace, or perhaps because she was about to give birth and out of His Majesty's mercy, Concubine Yao obtained Concubine Lan's permission and came to pick her up.
Only then did I get the chance and was able to get out of Ruisi Palace.
It can be said that the Imperial Concubine was gone for a few months and I was imprisoned for a few months.
Your Majesty is truly cruel.
This time, Concubine Yao really didn't expect that His Majesty was really cruel to her.
When Lady Le, who was also in Ruisi Palace, gave birth, she had taken a look at her from a distance outside the palace gate, trying to attract His Majesty's attention. Unexpectedly, His Majesty didn't even look at her.
So when others came to the audience today to welcome Song Qingyan's return with joy, she had other thoughts.
She dressed up carefully and appeared outside the Qingyun Palace with excitement and nervousness.
However, I didn't expect that His Majesty would focus all his attention on Song Qingyan and her son, and didn't even glance at me.
In fact, the Emperor of Great Chu naturally still cared about her. After all, the child in her belly, as the imperial physician had said, was a prince.
But today he was so happy because Qingyan had returned that he forgot about Concubine Yao.
Just when Concubine Lan was about to leave, Concubine Yao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
I didn't think much about it, since I've had this kind of reaction quite often these days.
The doctor said that maybe it was because I was about to give birth that I had the abdominal pain, but I still had to be more careful in my daily life.
Seeing the Great Chu Emperor in front of her holding the Royal Concubine's hand tightly, with a look of concern on his face, Concubine Yao secretly felt a little jealous.
Suddenly I thought of a plan.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yao bent down in pain, covered her abdomen with both hands, and a painful expression appeared on her face.
The maid beside her noticed her abnormality and hurriedly said, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you? Do you have a stomachache?"
His tone was full of anxiety and panic.
The maid's scream made everyone's eyes fall on Concubine Yao's face.
Even the Emperor of Great Chu noticed her abnormality, and quickly let go of Song Qingyan's hand, stepped forward and supported Concubine Yao with both hands: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
[Okay, mother, I can’t leave now. ]
[Will Concubine Yao say that her stomachache was caused by something that her mother brought with her? ]
[Or maybe it's about Qingyun Palace...]
[The palace struggles in the novels are all written like this. ]
Upon seeing this, Concubine Lan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Yao is now nine months pregnant. The imperial physician said that she could give birth at any time. It is time to summon the imperial physician to take a look."
"It seems a little abnormal to see Sister Yaopin in such pain."
[Mother, do you think she is pretending? ]
Song Qingyan opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
I originally thought that now that Qiong Hua was in Qingyun Palace, there was no need to summon an imperial physician.
But then she thought of Wanwan's previous dislike for Concubine Yao, and she was not worthy of her.
Besides, I don't like Concubine Yao very much.
After all, it's not a life-threatening situation yet, so the imperial physician can help.
If Concubine Yao were to ask the fairy Miss Qionghua to take action, she would probably be a little short of the mark.
Concubine Yao pretended to be weak and looked up at the Emperor of Great Chu. At least her frail appearance made people feel distressed.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. It's just that my due date is approaching and I have occasional abdominal pains. I will be fine after a rest. There is no need to trouble the imperial physician."
[The palace is still the same palace, and it still has the same flavor. ]
At this time, Lu Xingwan was already in Song Qingyan's arms, shaking his head and looking at Concubine Yao in front of him.
Imitation of the voice of Concubine Yao.
[Your Majesty, I am fine. I just hope that Your Majesty can spend more time with me.]
Listening to Wanwan's "artificial" voice in her arms, Song Qingyan lowered her head and tried hard to suppress her smile.
After all, Concubine Yao was suffering there, and as a royal concubine, it would be inappropriate for me to laugh at this time.
[Look at her pretentious look]
[If I really want to give birth, will I still care about flirting with my father? ]
[Look, look, aren't the ladies in the palace said to be the most dignified people? Why is it that when it comes to Concubine Yao, it seems as if my father's harem is a brothel. ]
"Cough, cough, cough..." When the Emperor of Great Chu heard what Lu Xingwan said, he started coughing violently.
Wanwan's words were really a bit too much. If it were someone else, he would have been dragged out and beheaded by the Emperor of Chu.
But the truth is there.
The Emperor of Great Chu knew clearly in his heart that every woman in the harem wanted his curtains and his favor.
Except for Qingyan, he felt that Qingyan always seemed indifferent and nonchalant towards him.
However, the way these concubines competed for favor was no different from the way brothels solicited customers.
Although the Emperor of Great Chu had never been to a brothel in person, he had heard about it from outsiders.
After hearing Wanwan's words, the Emperor of Great Chu became a little more distant from Concubine Yao in front of him.
His Majesty suddenly loosened his hand. Concubine Yao had finally tricked His Majesty to come to her side, so she would naturally not let him go easily and grabbed him tightly again.
She has always accepted her mother's teachings.
