Emperor Xuan Jing's expression changed immediately. Regardless of He Jia still crying, he stood up and took Bai Susu in his arms, repeatedly asking, "Susu, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Bai Susu vomited several times after he did this, and her little face turned pale in an instant.
Emperor Xuan Jing looked at the imperial physician on the ground with a sharp gaze and said, "Come and check Concubine Zhen's pulse!"
The imperial physician did not dare to neglect the matter, but he was a pediatrician and not an expert in gynecology. Seeing Emperor Xuan Jing's nervous look, he became even more flustered.
The trembling fingers were not diagnosed as anything wrong.
Emperor Xuan Jing's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could crush a fly to death. Bai Susu finally relaxed a little, smiled weakly, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I just felt a little sick, but I'm much better now."
She said she was feeling much better, but when Emperor Xuan Jing saw that she looked unwell, he became extremely anxious and regretted bringing her out.
He leaned over and lifted her up horizontally by the waist, her clothes flying as she walked. "Wang Fuhai, tell Imperial Physician Su and Court Secretary Shen to go to Yanfu Palace."
The Emperor actually left without even looking back. Concubine Hui was so angry that her body was shaking. Even He Jia didn't dare to cry. At the same time, a deep sense of loss welled up in her heart. This was the first time her father hadn't been with her...
Yeonbokgung Palace
Looking at the two imperial doctors who were pulled over with their beards flying, especially Imperial Doctor Su who showed his panic on his face, Bai Susu felt a little guilty.
She was actually fine, but she didn't expect the emperor to react so strongly.
At this moment, he hugged Bai Susu from behind, but his eyes were still fixed on Doctor Su, and his body was slightly tense due to nervousness.
After Imperial Physician Su finished taking the patient's pulse, he felt relieved. He stood up, bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress' pulse is healthy and there is nothing wrong. I believe the Empress' vomiting is due to morning sickness, which is a normal reaction. Your Majesty has nothing to worry about."
"Morning sickness?" Emperor Xuan Jing frowned. There were indeed too few pregnant women in the palace. Concubine Hui was pregnant at the time. Although she suffered from morning sickness and vomiting, she was afraid of disturbing the emperor's appearance, so she never vomited in front of him.
So Emperor Xuan Jing didn't even know that pregnant women would suffer from morning sickness.
At this time, Chen Yuanzheng stepped forward and gave a detailed explanation of morning sickness.
Bai Susu saw that the two doctors' explanations were very convincing, and she thought that she wasn't suffering from morning sickness, but simply from a strange smell that made her want to vomit...
But seeing how seriously Emperor Xuan Jing was listening, he decided to give up.
She held Emperor Xuan Jing's hand and shook it, saying angrily, "I've already said it's all right. After hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis, Your Majesty is relieved?"
Emperor Xuan Jing looked down at her coquettish expression, knowing that he was indeed too nervous. Seeing Su Su in pain just now, his heart was in turmoil for a moment, worried about her and the child in her belly.
This was their child, and he wouldn't allow anything to happen.
At this moment, he finally felt relieved. He reached out and brushed a strand of Bai Susu's hair that hung on the side of her face behind her ear, and hummed softly.
The two imperial physicians did not dare to raise their heads at all when they saw how close the emperor and his concubine were. Only when they heard Emperor Xuan Jing's order to leave did they hurried out as if they had been pardoned.
Oh my God, Doctor Su wiped the cold sweat from his face, thinking that he and Old Shen had been talking at length in there until their throats were hoarse, but it was still no match for Concubine Zhen's coquettish words.
In the future, he must hold on tightly to Concubine Zhen's thigh. A word from her at the critical moment might save his life.
The best thing in the world is a false alarm. The panic just fades away, and only warmth and tranquility remain in the room.
Bai Susu leaned on Emperor Xuan Jing's chest and whispered, "Princess Baohua was not feeling well and wanted you to stay with her, but you accompanied me back to Yanfu Palace. I feel a little uneasy."
Emperor Xuan Jing's big hands stroked her smooth and delicate back again and again, saying, "It's okay. I'll go see her tomorrow. You've been busy this late, go to sleep."
The incident happened suddenly, and Emperor Xuan Jing's first reaction was to worry about Bai Susu. He also had to admit that the balance in his heart had tilted towards Susu and the child in her belly.
He had no way to control his emotions, nor did he need to. If he didn't even have this little freedom as an emperor, what kind of emperor would he be?
Su Su stepped forward to take care of him in the time of crisis, and she had already entered his heart.
Not to mention that she is now pregnant with his child, giving him new hope when he is almost at the end of his rope. He will give Bai Susu all the best.
No one can get ahead of her, no one can...
The next morning
When the ministers heard that the emperor wanted to make Concubine Zhen the imperial concubine, they were all shocked.
The imperial concubine is of the first rank, with the same status as the vice-empress.
How could this be established so casually? Although Concubine Zhen was pregnant with the heir, her father seemed to be a county magistrate, who was only an eighth-rank official.
Letting the daughter of an eighth-rank official be a concubine? Is that reasonable?
Sure enough, some ministers jumped out and said that this was against the rules. Most of them were old and conservative ministers who paid great attention to etiquette and laws.
Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes were lazy, and he casually said, "Recently, Jiangzhou has experienced heavy rain, resulting in flooding. Zhenpin's father, Baifuge, performed very well during this flood, saving the people of Liming from the dire situation. I wish to reward him for his merits and promote him to the rank of Third-Rank Minister of the Imperial Household Department."
Okay, you said my beloved concubine doesn’t have a prominent family background, so I will give her a prominent family background.
When the ministers heard the emperor casually say that he was a third-rank official, they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
This will make those students who have studied hard for more than ten years and passed the imperial examination bleed!
Your Majesty, please don't be so outrageous!
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules..." The ministers still wanted to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuan Jing's expression became solemn again. He supported his knees with his hands, leaned forward slightly in a very oppressive posture, and leaned over to say, "Concubine Zhen's pregnancy is unstable. I want to make her a noble concubine to reassure her. The ministers are so opposed. Don't you hope that my prince will be born safely?!"
The ministers were so frightened by the weight of such a heavy hat that their legs weakened and they knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I dare not do that."
No matter what, the baby in Concubine Zhen's belly is indeed very precious.
Compared with the dragon son and the future of the country, being conferred the title of noble concubine is not so shocking.
The key point is that the emperor is determined to confer the title, can you stop him?
What good will it be if you go against the emperor?
-
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Concubine Bai, endowed with virtue and kindness, filial and respectful, bringing prosperity to the nation and contributing to the succession of heirs, is hereby canonized as Concubine Zhenhui. This is my decree."
Concubine Zhengui was second only to the empress, and could be said to be second only to the queen.
Bai Susu smiled slightly and wanted to bow to express her gratitude.
Unexpectedly, Wang Fuhai's face changed and he said anxiously, "Master Zhen, your body is precious. The emperor has decreed that you don't need to bow. Please don't bend."
Nanchun and Manxia supported Bai Susu on the left and right. They almost smiled as if they had suppressed the smile. Their master was truly the most favored one in the six palaces. Look, look, except for their master, who else could be cared about so much by the emperor!
Bai Susu did not refuse. Although she was already a noble concubine, her attitude towards Wang Fuhai had not changed. She had neither the fawning of someone of lower status nor the arrogance of someone of higher status. She smiled softly and said, "Thank you, eunuch."
Wang Fuhai was dazed for a moment. Concubine Zhengui's face was no different from when she first entered the palace, but something had changed slightly.
It was that demeanor. Her eyes were calm and determined. This was the confidence that the emperor's favor gave her.
