"My Lady, why don't you eat?" Concubine Wu smiled and said coquettishly, "His Majesty said that I am the most important person. You don't have to wait for His Majesty to come before you can eat. You can eat first if you are hungry."
Although His Majesty has said so, she has never dared to really not wait for His Majesty. But today is different. Today, with Concubine Pei here, she must show off His Majesty's favor for her.
"Really?" Concubine Pei fiddled with her armor and smiled softly.
"I dare not. How can I compete with Concubine Wu? If Concubine Wu is hungry, she can eat first. I can only watch and wait for His Majesty to come before I can eat."
idiot!
What is there to show off?
The baby in her belly is not her son yet.
When Concubine Pei said this, Concubine Wu smiled even more brightly, "Then I will eat first."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dai stepped forward and served food to Concubine Wu with a smile.
Concubine Wu took a sip of the Tremella soup and raised her eyebrows, "Why is it so unpalatable? Are the people in the imperial kitchen so perfunctory to me?"
"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied, I will ask the imperial kitchen to serve you again immediately." Xiao Dai said hurriedly.
It wasn't really bad, but Concubine Wu wanted to find something to let Concubine Pei know her position in Prince Xuan's heart, so she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, tell the imperial kitchen to change the dishes tomorrow, I'm tired of eating them."
Xiao Dai took the soup bowl from Concubine Wu and responded obediently, "Yes, I'll remember that."
"Your Highness, please don't think I'm too pampered. It's just that if the food doesn't go as planned, the baby in your belly will not obey, and there's nothing I can do about it." Concubine Wu gently stroked her belly.
Concubine Pei raised her eyebrows slightly, "How could it be, why would I think you are too delicate?"
Concubine Wu smiled sweetly, picked up the wooden chopsticks and started eating. The dishes on the wooden table were almost all different.
Concubine Wu originally wanted to eat a few bites and then wait for Prince Xuan to eat more, but perhaps because she was pregnant, she ate a lot.
It was past dinner time, the dishes on the table were all cold, and His Majesty had not come yet. Concubine Pei looked out the window at the dark night, feeling a little nervous.
After eating, Concubine Wu leaned lazily on the wooden chair, squinting her eyes comfortably.
After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard outside the palace. Concubine Pei and Concubine Wu stood up with a smile. The palace door was pushed open, and the guard said, "There was a mistake during the patrol of the palace guard Qu today, and it has been dealt with according to the palace rules."
Concubine Pei frowned slightly. Why did she suddenly say this?
Is it necessary to tell them how to deal with a guard?
The guards stepped aside, and King Xuan, wearing a dragon robe, walked into the palace. With a "bang", the palace door was closed by the guards.
Concubine Wu turned pale with fear. She felt that... His Majesty might know...
"Your Majesty, I greet you." Concubine Pei bowed with a smile.
"Your servant greets His Majesty King Xuan." The maid in the palace knelt down and saluted.
King Xuan snorted coldly, as if smiling.
Concubine Pei was too nervous to stand up. The hall was eerily quiet.
"Your Majesty..." Before Concubine Wu could finish her words, she felt a sudden cramp in her lower abdomen. The sticky blood flowed down her thighs and soaked her dress. She lowered her head tremblingly and touched her lower abdomen.
The blood on the floor was so red that it was blinding. King Xuan did not say anything, and naturally, the others in the hall did not dare to say anything.
Concubine Pei became even more flustered. She didn't understand what the king meant.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the candlelight in the palace was dim. Concubine Wu glanced at the gloomy face of King Xuan and was so scared that she stumbled and fell to the floor.
She looked up at the table full of dishes and felt a little ironic. She thought there might be something wrong with these dishes.
