When Song Jingyan heard this, he was very pleased.
His concubine Chen actually came to her senses, fortunately all his efforts were not in vain.
"Okay, I'll obey you."
However, Song Jingyan was somewhat curious and frowned as he asked, "My beloved, aren't you curious at all about why I appointed Concubine Ning as a noble concubine?"
ah……
Is this a test for her?
Xu Chu knew that Song Jingyan was sure that she would not be that stupid, but she also couldn't act that smart.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is the Prime Minister's daughter. This must have something to do with the court, right?"
Song Jingyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xu Chu with interest. "Oh...My beloved, what do you think happened in the court that could allow me to be promoted to Concubine Ning?"
Xu Chu frowned slightly and said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should tell you this or not."
"Speak, I pardon you."
"Your Majesty, you must be controlled by the Prime Minister, right?"
Song Jingyan scratched Xu Chu's nose and said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that my beloved concubine is very smart, but can you guess it?"
Xu Chu shook her head. "I don't understand the affairs of the court. I just want to give birth to a prince and princess for His Majesty."
Song Jingyan needs a Xu Chu like this, smart but not too aggressive. Only when he is with her can he truly feel what relaxation is.
"My beloved, if you are not honest about your pregnancy, I will kill you immediately."
Xu Chu pretended to look at Song Jingyan in horror, "Your Majesty, please don't scare me."
Song Jingyan couldn't help but smile, "My beloved, I want you to give birth to the prince safely more than anyone else. I will definitely not do anything rash."
"Your Majesty, what about your needs?" Xu Chu asked boldly.
Song Jingyan touched Xu Chu's hair and said, "I only have needs for you. I have always been calm towards others."
Xu Chu said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are so bad."
"Alright, my love, let's get some rest."
The next day, Concubine Ning went to the Empress Dowager to complain, saying that the Emperor had left her alone in the Yangxin Palace for a whole night.
The Empress Dowager naturally knew that the Emperor had gone to see Concubine Chen.
Although she was very happy that Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince for the emperor, she was pregnant now and could not monopolize the emperor, so she went to Chengqian Palace in person to give Concubine Chen some special instructions.
"Princess Chen, you are in a heavy state, so please don't bow."
Xu Chu still bowed obediently, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother helped Xu Chu up and said, "Concubine Chen, I have allowed you not to perform formalities for a while. You don't need to thank me anymore."
Xu Chu agreed obediently: "Okay, Queen Mother."
"Sit down."
As soon as Xu Chu sat down, the Queen Mother's voice rang out, "I am not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. The Emperor likes you and dotes on you, so naturally he wants to stay in your bedroom. This is not your fault."
"But you have to persuade the emperor to favor other women, so that he can have more children sooner."
Xu Chu nodded obediently, "Okay, Queen Mother, I will try my best to persuade the Emperor."
"Take good care of it."
"Your Highness respectfully bids farewell to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was afraid that Xu Chu would bow, so she waved her hand to shoo you away, "Don't bow, just go back and lie down."
That night, Song Jingyan came to her bedroom and she repeated what the empress dowager had told her today.
"Your Majesty, I am not saying this to say anything bad about the Queen Mother. It's just that I really want to monopolize Your Majesty, but I cannot disobey the rules of the palace. I am conflicted."
Song Jingyan was heartbroken when he heard this and quickly hugged Xu Chu into his arms, "My beloved, have you forgotten? I only react to you."
Xu Chu said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are bad."
Song Jingyan saw Xu Chu's shy look and couldn't help but kiss her cheek, "Okay, I know what to do."
Xu Chu raised his head and looked at Song Jingyan, "Then what does the emperor plan to do?"
"I have my own way."
Xu Chu wanted to bring up the medicinal food, but the system's voice rang out, "Host, don't spoil the fun. Men hate it most when you push them away. Besides, you still need the emperor's protection."
So Xu Chu did not bring up the issue of medicinal food again, but said, "Okay, I believe the emperor will have his own way to deal with it."
The next day, Eunuch Fu came to deliver a message saying that the emperor would arrive later.
Sure enough, Song Jingyan came back very late that night.
Xu Chu fell asleep and didn't notice that Song Jingyan, who was smelling strange, had returned to her bedroom. However, when she woke up the next day, she always felt a little pain in her lower abdomen.
She immediately became alert and took a pregnancy-preserving pill so that her stomach would stop making noises.
"Xiao Tao, can you quickly check if there are any other items delivered to the bedroom?"
"No, my lord."
Xu Chu sniffed and felt that there was a different smell in the room.
"Xiao Tao, smell what's in our room."
Xiaotao smelled it and found nothing.
Xu Chu has always been sensitive to scents, especially this kind of unusual scent, but she didn't find anything suspicious.
A moment later, Xiao Tao began to tidy up the bedroom and found a bright yellow undershirt under the bed.
Xiao Tao immediately sniffed it and said, "My lady, the emperor's inner garment has a smell, like musk."
What musk!
Xu Chu secretly thought in his heart that since the emperor attached so much importance to offspring, he must be aware of the effect of musk on offspring.
"Tonight, when the emperor comes back, come and help wake me up."
