The smiles on their faces stopped, and they turned around to look at Concubine De. At this time, Concubine De was holding the handkerchief tightly in both hands, her eyes were blank, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Be careful with your words." The imperial concubine shouted softly.
Since Your Majesty dares to announce it to the world so blatantly, he must be confident that he can save the child.
"Sister?" It was not until Concubine Xian called her softly that she realized her loss of composure.
She stood up and knelt down to salute, "Sister, I feel a little unwell, so I'll go back first."
After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone to speak and left Zhaoqing Palace with his men.
"Sister, Sister Defei..." Xianfei felt a little worried as she looked at the distraught figure.
After all, they had been together in the palace for many years and had supported each other. Seeing Defei's infatuated look now, how could she not worry?
The smile in the imperial concubine's eyes faded a little. "She has His Majesty in her heart. She is different from us after all."
"Ah." Concubine Xian sighed deeply and muttered softly, "I don't understand. What's so good about His Majesty? Why do you like him so much?"
Wouldn’t it be nice to have money and free time to live a good life?
"You." The imperial concubine lightly tapped her forehead. "You are so old, yet you are still so outspoken."
"What are you afraid of?" Xianfei curled her lips, "This is not somewhere else."
On the other side, there was chaos in Qian Xiurong's Wanfu Palace.
She tugged at her nanny's hand and asked, "Tell me, how did she get pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, think positively. If she can get pregnant, you might be the next one to get pregnant."
"But during the days I've been in the palace..."
"Your Majesty, the flowers are blooming and bearing fruit. Perhaps it was just that Your Majesty's fate of having children wasn't there before, but now it is, and you will surely have many children in the future."
"But that little bitch actually got pregnant with His Majesty's first child and was even promoted to Consort Shu. That's Consort Shu."
She had always been eyeing the positions of the four concubines, thinking that after her qualifications improved and her family made an effort, with her own favor, she would be able to get one of the last positions, not to mention the position of the Concubine of Wisdom.
"My lady, we are not in a hurry."
"How can I not be anxious? Now that she's pregnant, she's been given the title of Consort Shu. When she gives birth in the future, should I give her the position as well?"
How does she deserve it?
Whenever she thought about having to kowtow three times and nine times to a second-married girl with no family background, she became jealous to the point of going crazy.
"How is that possible? Even if Your Majesty wanted to, the civil and military officials in the court would not agree to it."
"right."
After she had a mad outburst, she calmed down a little, held the nanny's hand, curled her lips and said sarcastically: "I'm sure I'm not the only one who is so uncomfortable with her pregnancy. Let's go and see Concubine De."
"You mean, Tu Zhaoyi is pregnant and now has been named Shufei?" Ding Yucheng outside the palace also received the news quickly.
"Yes, sir, His Majesty has issued an imperial decree."
After receiving a positive answer, he was filled with shock. "How is this possible? How could she be pregnant? She and I haven't had sex for several years..."
At this point, he paused, "Could it be me... No, no, no, it's impossible. How could there be a problem with a man?"
But when he said this, the two followers behind him looked at him with a strange look in their eyes.
When he looked over, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again.
In Liuyun Courtyard of the Shangshu Mansion, Meng Tian, who had received the news that Tu Qingyu was pregnant, was busy questioning the system.
"Didn't you say that the emperor here was destined to be childless? What's going on now?"
The system's mechanical voice beeped twice, then said, "The plot has changed. The system doesn't know exactly what happened."
"You don't know, how could you not know?"
"girl!"
At this moment, her personal maid ran in hurriedly, panting and saying, "Miss, front, front hall..."
"What happened in the front hall? Speak properly."
"Duke Xu's family is here to propose marriage!"
"Propose a marriage? Propose a marriage for me? Who from Duke Xu's mansion?"
"Yes, I am proposing marriage to you. I say he is the eldest son of Duke Xu."
"The eldest son of a concubine?!" Meng Tian was furious. "That eldest son of a concubine is completely uneducated. How dare he come to propose marriage?"
After a while she calmed down and said, "It's okay, my father won't agree to it."
Sure enough, not long after, someone came back to report that Minister Meng had politely declined the marriage proposal from Duke Xu's Mansion.
He called Meng Tian to the study and said straight to the point, "You are a man with a plan in mind. You are different from ordinary girls in the boudoir, so I will not avoid you."
Although he spoke words of praise, there was not much pride in Minister Meng's expression.
Even when he looked down at Meng Tian, his eyes were filled with some subtle scrutiny.
Unfortunately, Meng Tian didn't understand the subtle gaze and actually thought it was a compliment. Hearing this, she straightened her chest and said, "Father, just speak frankly. I have my own plans."
After hearing this, a cold light flashed in Minister Meng's eyes again, but he quickly concealed it and said to Meng Tian with a loving look:
"What's going on between you and the Prince of Jing? If you're in love, let him propose marriage. You're not young anymore, even if he's a concubine, your father..."
"Father, he said that he would definitely marry me as his principal wife."
"The principal wife?" Minister Meng sneered in his heart. It was really a fantasy for a concubine's daughter to want to become the principal wife of a prince.
But he didn't say this out loud, he just asked, "When will he come to propose marriage?"
"No hurry, father. I heard that Consort Tu in the palace is pregnant?"
"What Tu Zhaoyi? She is now a concubine."
"Your Majesty..."
"Tiantian!" Minister Meng interrupted her, "Now we're talking about you and the Prince of Jing. What do you mean by saying there's no rush?"
"My daughter was thinking, since His Majesty can... then why don't we..."
"You!" Minister Meng was very surprised. "You actually have this idea in mind. Then you and the Prince of Jing..."
In a flash of inspiration, Minister Meng understood all of Meng Tian's thoughts before and now.
He took a deep breath because of Meng Tian's ambition.
Seeing that she was exposed, Meng Tian did not hide it anymore, "Father, now that Concubine Shu is pregnant, it is a good opportunity."
She looked determined and said, "As long as I give my daughter a chance, she will definitely be able to do it!"
Minister Meng looked at her and had an idea in mind.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Okay! Since my son has such great ambitions, then I, as a father, must help him!"
On Tu Qingyu's side, Dabao was splitting the screen to show her the live broadcasts of various teams. She was watching with great interest while eating fresh fruits splashed with ice water.
Jiaojiao and Mengnan were lying on her left and right, and Dabao lay directly on the chaise longue with her, with his left leg resting on his right leg, swaying back and forth.
"Yo yo yo, Master, she stopped staring at the male lead and started staring at Li Yuanqi."
