Chapter 89: Fighting for Favor



After dinner, Emperor Xuan Jing naturally stayed in Yanfu Palace.

In fact, Bai Susu is pregnant. According to the rules, she cannot serve the emperor, and even the green card must be removed.

But Emperor Xuan Jing was worried. Even if he did nothing, he wanted to be with Bai Susu to feel at ease.

As for Bai Susu, she would not push the emperor away. She was carrying a child with great difficulty, and then watched Emperor Xuan Jing favor other concubines?

That's not possible!

The bed curtains fluttered, and Emperor Xuan Jing lowered his head to kiss Bai Susu's lips tenderly and affectionately. Bai Susu raised her chin in response, and a pair of jade arms like lotus roots wrapped around Emperor Xuan Jing's neck. Under the misty luster of the night pearl, her little face was still flushed, looking very soft and vulnerable.

The two hadn't been close for a long time, and it seemed like things were about to get sour as they kissed.

Emperor Xuan Jing still had a trace of clarity in his mind. He knew that Bai Susu was in the early stages of pregnancy and could not be reckless. He forced himself to suppress his desire and lay on Bai Susu, breathing heavily.

"I'm going to take a cold shower."

Listening to the sound of water splashing from the bathroom, Bai Susu smiled foolishly, touched her flat belly, and thought that her son was more capable, as he could make his father suffer before he was even born.

When Emperor Xuan Jing returned, the two dared not play around anymore. Just as they were about to fall asleep, they heard Wang Fuhai's cautious voice outside: "Your Majesty, there's news from Zhaoyang Palace that Princess Baohua is unwell and has vomited twice. We'd like you to go and see her."

What a familiar scene! Bai Susu seemed to be traveling through time.

When she first served the emperor in bed, Concubine Hui also used this trick to steal Emperor Xuan Jing away from her.

At that time, the emperor left without even looking back.

But now. Bai Susu lowered her eyelashes, put her hand on her belly, and whispered: "Your Majesty, go and take a look."

Emperor Xuan Jing suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He was worried about He Jia's illness, but he could not ignore Su Su's feelings.

What's the point of leaving her alone in Yeonbokgung Palace?

Emperor Xuan Jing's voice fell silent: "You go with me."

He Jia's illness was partly caused by being frightened by Concubine Bai Ri Hui, and also because she really wanted to see Emperor Xuan Jing, so she made such a fuss.

Ever since she was born, she has been showered with special love and care by Emperor Xuan Jing. Especially when she was sick, her father was extremely worried and on several occasions he stayed with her all night.

So she was eager to prove that her father still loved her the most in his heart, and she didn't want any little prince or younger brother.

The emperor is hers!

She kept calling out "Father," which made Concubine Hui anxious and worried. Emperor Xuanjing was already unhappy when He Jia fell ill last time, and she didn't want to disturb the emperor this time.

Unexpectedly, He Jia had a fierce temper. He howled at the top of his lungs and even vomited in the end.

But Concubine Hui was shocked. Seeing He Jia crying pitifully, she thought to herself that she should also let Emperor Xuan Jing see how miserable his daughter was.

Don't focus all your attention on that bitch Bai Susu's belly.

Her He Jia is the eldest daughter, and she is standing.

As for the baby in Bai Susu's belly, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, it is still uncertain whether she can give birth.

After sending someone to pass on the news to Emperor Xuan Jing, she stayed by He Jia's side, waiting. She had learned her lesson today. She didn't dress up, but wore plain clothes, her hair untied. At first glance, she looked like a worried mother, completely focused on her child.

Although she was domineering, she was not stupid and was good at observing people's expressions. She had always remembered the slight frown on the emperor's face when he saw her dressed up last time.

When she heard the eunuch's salute, Concubine Hui blinked, and two lines of tears fell on her cheeks. She stood up to greet him.

Emperor Xuan Jing, dressed in black and with a stern expression, strode in.

"Greetings to the Emperor." Concubine Hui bowed, but before she finished speaking, the corners of her lips froze in place, because she saw that there was someone following behind Emperor Xuan Jing.

She was wearing a crabapple pink brocade cloak, with snowy skin and a beautiful face, and she was so gorgeous that it turned out to be Bai Susu!

How could she come! Concubine Hui pinched her armor into her palm, looking at Bai Susu snuggling beside Emperor Xuan Jing, she was so jealous that she almost couldn't control her expression.

Emperor Xuan Jing waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

Bai Susu felt Concubine Hui's piercing gaze, but she didn't bow. With a worried look on her face, she said softly, "I heard that Princess Baohua was ill and was worried, so I asked the Emperor to bring me here. I hope you won't blame me."

Looking at her fair little face, Concubine Hui wanted to go up and tear it into pieces.

But in the end, he could only grit his teeth and put on a fleeting smile: "How could it be?"

"How is He Jia?" Emperor Xuan Jing asked as he walked and strode into the house. He saw the imperial physician taking He Jia's pulse.

When He Jia saw the emperor, his eyes lit up like stars. He stretched out his chubby arms and called out in a baby voice, "Father, hold me, hold me."

Seeing how attached He Jia was to him, Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes softened. He leaned over and picked up He Jia from the bed. He was tall, and He Jia looked even smaller in comparison. The father and daughter looked very close.

Concubine Hui's ugly expression brightened instantly, and she raised her chin towards Bai Susu with pride.

Bai Susu found it funny. What was there to brag about? Would she be jealous of this?

Not to mention that the relationship between father and daughter is natural. If Emperor Xuan Jing was indifferent to his daughter, Bai Susu would be worried.

Besides, she was already pregnant with Emperor Xuan Jing's child. Wouldn't Emperor Xuan Jing love her child just as much? I'm afraid he would even love her child more than her.

Not seeing any jealousy on Bai Susu's face, Concubine Hui was a little disappointed. She then stepped forward and said affectionately, "Jia'er misses her father too much, that's why she keeps calling the emperor. I didn't want to disturb the emperor and sister Bai, but I can't persuade this girl."

Bai Susu got goosebumps when she heard the tone. No one told her that Concubine Hui was like this in front of Emperor Xuan Jing.

It was completely different from how she appeared in front of the imperial concubines.

Emperor Xuan Jing weighed He Jia's small body and asked softly, "Tell me, father, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

He Jia leaned on Emperor Xuan Jing's shoulder unhappily and shook her head.

Emperor Xuan Jing then turned his gaze to the imperial physician beside him.

The imperial physician knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, the princess's pulse is a little rapid and she seems a little agitated. Other than that, there's nothing wrong."

Emperor Xuan Jing nodded, put He Jia back on the bed, and said, "Since there is nothing else to do, go to bed early."

He Jia pouted and wanted to cry, grabbing Emperor Xuan Jing's sleeve and not letting go: "Jia Er wants father to accompany me, woo woo."

Bai Susu's eyebrows jumped. What a little girl who is good at competing for favor.

Concubine Hui hid the smile on her face and stepped forward to coax her, "Jia'er, be good and stop bothering your father. Your mother is here with you, okay?"

Because of his naughty temper, He Jia cried even louder and louder, which made Bai Susu's scalp explode.

The room already had a bad smell due to He Jia's vomiting. Although it was kept very clean, Bai Susu was pregnant and was always more sensitive than others.

Now, disturbed by He Jia's shrill crying, the nausea in his chest could no longer be suppressed. He covered his mouth and dry-heaved.
