Chapter 31: The Tyrant Who Exterminated His Family: Bei Hongjiao Promoted to Concubine



Emperor Shengwu came over and told Bei Lingyao that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had already calculated the date for the enthronement ceremony, "The ceremony will be after the full moon banquet."

"Isn't it too rushed? Can the phoenix robe be made in a month?"

As Bei Lingyao fell, Emperor Shengwu smiled triumphantly, "I have secretly prepared it a long time ago."

"But I've gained some weight since I got pregnant. What if it doesn't fit?"

It wasn't that Bei Lingyao was looking for trouble. The enthronement ceremony was so rushed that if the phoenix robe was too big, it could be folded up, but if it was too narrow, it would be difficult to modify.

"Don't worry, Yao'er. Do you remember that someone comes to measure your size every month?"

After Emperor Shengwu said this, Bei Lingyao realized that the people from the Shangyi Bureau came to measure her size ostensibly to make maternity clothes for her, but secretly they were rushing to make a phoenix robe.

However, the phoenix robe should have been made outside the palace. If it was made in the palace, it would have been hidden from her.

In this way, Bei Lingyao was relieved.

Wow~

When the child cried, Emperor Shengwu immediately rushed over, took his son back from the wet nurse and coaxed him.

He asked, "Are you hungry or did you need to pee?"

Several wet nurses looked worried: "The little prince was fine before, but now he refuses to drink our milk."

Emperor Shengwu instinctively tried to lift his clothes. Bei Lingyao rubbed his forehead and quickly rushed over, picked up the child, patted him and comforted him, asking, "Why is this happening?"

Bei Lingyao's spiritual sense scanned over the wet nurses like an X-ray and found nothing wrong, but to be cautious, she still asked the female doctor to take a look.

Wow~

When his son cried, Emperor Shengwu was heartbroken. "What should I do? If I had known, I would have arranged for a few more wet nurses. Xing Yi..."

"Your Majesty, let me try."

Bei Lingyao said as she carried the child back to her bedroom, and Emperor Shengwu followed.

As soon as the clothes were lifted, my son immediately found his target and started eating.

The sound of "tsk tsk" seems to be saying, it smells good!

Emperor Shengwu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. When he thought about the fact that his son was willing to drink Bei Lingyao's milk but not the wet nurse's, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the wet nurses, or he was infected.

Soon, Nanny Sun came in with the female doctor and said that there was nothing wrong with the wet nurses and everything was normal.

Bei Lingyao felt a little guilty. She had fed her son before. Could it be that after drinking her milk, her son was unwilling to drink the milk of other wet nurses?

Although there is no empirical evidence yet, Bei Lingyao secretly feels that this is the problem.

[System, is this what you said?]

[That's normal. The host cultivates spiritual energy, so his physique is naturally better than that of an average person. A child's reaction is the most genuine.]

Bei Lingyao agreed. Although the spiritual energy in this world was thin and it was impossible to cultivate and break through the cultivation level like in the world of cultivation, she persisted in practicing meditation and breathing in and out every day, so she would have some spiritual energy.

According to the practitioners in this world, Bei Lingyao can be considered a fellow practitioner. There is no problem for him to prolong his life and live to be a hundred years old.

belch!

The little baby, who had eaten and drunk his fill, burped, then fell into a deep sleep with a faint smile on his face and his eyes closed.

“So cute.”

Bei Lingyao's face softened. When the child was just born, he was red, like a little monkey. But in just a few days, he became white, plump and cute.

When he was just born, he looked a bit like her, but now he looks completely like Emperor Shengwu.

Emperor Shengwu was not satisfied, "They say a son resembles his mother, but Yao'er looks less and less like you."

Bei Lingyao was speechless. "It's okay if the girl looks like me, but if Yao'er looks like me, Your Majesty will cry."

Emperor Shengwu automatically changed Bei Lingyao's gender and shook his head repeatedly, saying that it would be better for his son to look like him.

I hope I can have a daughter like Yaoer in the future.

When he thought of this, Emperor Shengwu's eyes lit up, although he was already very satisfied with having only one son.

But if you have a first child, you can also have a second one.

Emperor Shengwu was secretly looking forward to it.

Bei Lingyao had no idea what Emperor Shengwu was thinking. She put the child down and took Emperor Shengwu's pulse.

"Your Majesty, have you had a headache recently? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Emperor Shengwu was very touched by Bei Lingyao's concern.

"On the day of the full moon banquet, I will appoint Yao'er as the crown prince."

"Yao'er is still a little baby. How can he be worthy of the title of Crown Prince? The Emperor is in his prime..."

As Bei Lingyao was speaking, Emperor Shengwu waved his hand, "You know my health, it's better to appoint a crown prince sooner rather than later."

Emperor Shengwu clapped his hands as he spoke, and soon, Nanny Sun and several tall, short, fat and thin guards, eunuchs and palace maids walked in.

Bei Lingyao didn't quite understand what Emperor Shengwu meant by calling these people in.

Several people knelt and kowtowed: "Dragon Scale Guards Lei Ting, Ming Si, Dark Night, Feng Chi, and Yun Wu pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress."

Nanny Sun is Yunwu, the chief physician.

Emperor Shengwu took out a black iron token and handed it to Bei Lingyao. He then said to Nanny Sun and the others, "I am handing over the Dragon Scale Guard to the Empress. From now on, you will obey her orders and protect her and the Crown Prince."

"I obey your command!"

As they spoke, they kowtowed to Bei Lingyao again: "Subordinates pay their respects to the master."

"Stand up"

Bei Lingyao did not refuse. She knew that Emperor Shengwu felt insecure, or perhaps he wanted to plan for his son's future after having a son.

The child is still young, and Emperor Shengwu doesn't know how long he can live, so he hands over the Dragon Scale Guard to Bei Lingyao first.

After the Dragon Scale Guards left, Bei Lingyao held the token and looked at Emperor Shengwu, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of fueling my ambitions?"

You must know that after the Queen Mother and the Grand Princess obtained the Qilin Guard and the Eagle Guard, their ambitions became overwhelming.

Especially the Queen Mother, who held the Qilin Guards tightly in her hands and refused to give them to Prince Fu.

She wanted Prince Fu to compete for the throne, but also wanted Prince Fu to rely on her, so she was unwilling to give up power.

As a result, Prince Fu had nothing to show for himself except his status as the legitimate son of the late emperor.

At this time, Prince Fu's Mansion

Upon receiving the news that Bei Lingyao was crowned as queen, Prince Fu promoted Bei Hongjiao to concubine.

Bei Hongjiao was also given a larger yard.

Although the Bei family had blocked the news about Bei Hongjiao and did not let Mrs. Bei know.

But Prince Fu sent people to contact the Hong family.

The Hong family was overjoyed to learn that Bei Lingyao would become the queen and Bei Lingjiao would become Prince Fu's concubine.

However, compared with Censor Bei's family, the Hong family is closer to the third family. After all, the head of the Hong family is now Mrs. Bei's brother.

Since the Bei family became rich, relying on the strong support of Mrs. Bei and Mrs. Bei San, the Hong family also became a big landlord in their hometown and became the head of the village.

However, no matter how hard they tried over the years, they were unable to cultivate a son with academic talent. Seeing that the Bei family had become royal relatives, the Hong family was still not satisfied.

Because he had money and land, he wanted to be an official and hold power. He felt resentful when the Bei family refused to help him.

The fact that Bei Laosan went to Yazhou to serve as a pavilion chief made the Hong family even more interested.

Bei Lao San was also able to become an official without any official title, so naturally the Hong family could do the same.

As soon as Prince Fu's men arrived, the Hong family immediately brought their entire family to Beijing.
