Chapter 33: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Concubine



Chapter 33: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Concubine

"The Imperial Concubine is very attentive."

The pear blossoms have not yet bloomed, and now it seems that the blooming season has passed.

After counting the days, she found that she had been here for more than half a year.

Time flies.

Watching the Imperial Concubine eating her delicious food, she lowered her head, fanned herself, smiled, and continued to close her eyes and rest.

All I heard was this: "Pregnant women's food is delicious!"

The baby's belly was getting bigger day by day, but Chu Li showed no reaction at all. He could still eat spicy and sour food and still run around as usual. The emperor was very worried and quickly called the imperial physician to come and diagnose the baby. After taking the baby's pulse, the physician's face was filled with joy.

"Congratulations, His Majesty. Congratulations, Concubine Li. This baby might be twins."

When Shen Yan heard this unexpected news, he was extremely excited.

"It's a good thing that your Majesty is so active. Your Majesty is in good health, but she still needs to take good care of herself."

Shen Yan concluded that she was the love of his life.

As an emperor, he had already begun to study the "Child-Raising Manual" and personally made many cradles and baby chairs.

Became an ordinary father.

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she thought that the gods and Buddhas had appeared and the Bodhisattvas were blessing her.

He hurriedly offered sacrifices to his ancestors and said a few heartfelt words to the late emperor: "Emperor, I have lived alone for a long time since you left. I wonder if you will blame me for letting you go. When you were tortured by illness, I couldn't bear it, so I had to ask the imperial physician to select a medicine for you to leave peacefully. Now our Yan'er has his own family and a wife. Can you see it in heaven?"

Low-hanging clouds slowly passed through the night sky, the cool breeze blew the long willow branches, and the osmanthus flowers in the palace had already been reborn because of the change of seasons.

The Queen Mother stood in front of the window, looking at the bright moonlight, and sighed word by word: "It seems that this scene has become lively."

Late at night, the emperor told the empress dowager his thoughts.

Ever since the court learned that the emperor was pregnant with twins, there were no more rumors, and no one spread rumors that the emperor or the concubine were incompetent.

Shen Yan wanted to make Chu Li his queen.

One is that he sincerely hopes that Hatsuri will become his legal wife.

Second, he had already issued an edict that whoever gave birth to an imperial heir would become the queen.

The Queen Mother was helpless to see how anxious he was, and advised: "Why not wait until the heir is born? She is already five months pregnant, how can Concubine Li handle the responsibilities if you make her the Queen now? I know you care about her, but it is a bit too hasty to do it all at once."

Finally, the emperor chose Hatsuri as his imperial concubine.

The position of empress was established after Hatsuri was born.

One night, the emperor climbed into Hatsuri's bed again.

This time it was to hear what his baby was doing in his belly.

Since using the skill, Hatsuri has felt nothing except the fetal movement.

Seeing the emperor leaning on her belly and listening to the baby's heartbeat, she said, "The baby is sleeping now."

As a result, the next second, Shen Yan was kicked hard in the face.

Hatsuri smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I'm dreaming."

Shen Yan held her in his arms, told her about the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, and also handed over the authority to coordinate the six palaces to her.

Chu Li was shocked when she heard this: "Your Majesty, I can't do anything about it! I would rather eat and drink with you every day. I can't manage the harem if you want me to, but I have someone to recommend. I think she is very suitable!"

So, the Royal Concubine took over the matter.

Because the ceremony of conferring the title of Imperial Concubine was so cumbersome and troublesome, Hatsuri, perhaps because she was tired from being pregnant, refused to participate in the ceremony.

As a result, my father-in-law was the only one who sealed the empty book during the entire ceremony.

It is exactly what Princess Li Guifei said: There must be a sense of ceremony.

Soon, it was winter when Hatsuri was in her ninth month of pregnancy. She even walked carefully and stayed in her room all day without going out.

She was afraid that if she moved too much, the baby would fall out.

The concubines in the harem would come to see her and chat with her from time to time.

Somehow, Shen Yan suddenly told her that he wanted to hold a birthday party for her.

The reason is that Hatsuri had no father or mother, and her birthday was unknown when she entered the palace.

So I set my birthday on the day after tomorrow, December 12.

The palace was busy preparing her birthday banquet.

This Shen Yan, suddenly he's into romance.

This winter, it snowed heavily in the palace. The sky and the earth were covered in white snow. The heavy snow had been falling for two days.

The night was getting colder and colder. Hatsuri hadn't gone out for a long time and stayed in her room all day, either reading comic books or listening to gossip.

Finally seeing the snow outside, she walked out of the room wearing a thick warm cloak and holding a heater in her hands.

Looking at the snow outside, she played snowball fights like a child and took down the plum blossoms from the tree to keep.

The Emperor then entered her palace.

Looking at her frozen red hands, he quickly put them in his arms to warm them.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing."

"Well, it's snowing. This is my first winter with you."

The day has arrived for the birthday party.

It was very inconvenient for Chuli to walk with her big belly, so she could only come to the front of the palace in a sedan chair.

The system told her that the food mall had not yet been developed, so she was specifically told not to eat random food.

I saw that these delicacies were completely different from the magnificent delicacies in the palace.

The eunuch beside him explained, "Your Highness, the Emperor knows that you like these strange delicacies, so he specially ordered people to mix them together. This birthday banquet is also considered a family banquet, and the Emperor didn't invite anyone else."

At this banquet, there were only her, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor.

For the first time, she felt at home here.

The Queen Mother specially gave her a bowl of rose porridge that she had cooked herself, and said with a smile: "I made it following your original method. I was seriously ill at that time and it was the first time I tasted this flavor. I didn't make it well, so please bear with me."

Chu Li was beaming with joy and drank bowl after bowl.

This meal was the most down-to-earth and lifelike one she had ever eaten, as if it was not in the palace.

Just in an ordinary family.

At night, the emperor secretly took her to the city tower, where he set off fireworks last time, but this time he was no longer dressed in black.

But it is the formal emperor's attire.

The next second, he snapped his fingers.

The sky was filled with fireworks, lighting up the entire capital city, not just the imperial palace.

Suddenly, thousands of lights came on.

Dazzling and colorful.

The people were all shocked by the scene.

Shen Yan held Chu Li's hand and said affectionately: "This is the fireworks I prepared for you, just for you."

"I also wanted to give you a surprise last time, but it turned out to be a bummer."

Chuli looked at the fireworks in the sky and saw pear blossoms appearing one after another, just like her name.

She was deeply moved, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in her eyes. Tears had already flowed, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
