Shen Shuyi heard his low and mellow voice trembling a little, and her heart softened suddenly. She would never use this real child to get rid of anyone, and she didn't want to scare the emperor again without any danger.
Qin Hao personally poured her a glass of water. While pouring the water, he did not forget to look back at her. Seeing that she was sitting upright on the bed, he turned around.
Seeing his anxious look, Shen Shuyi laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, will this concubine fly away?"
Qin Hao came to the bed with water and said, "I, I feel like I'm dreaming."
Shen Shuyi drank the water, then reached out and poked his chest with his fingers.
Oh, it's still tight.
"Does it hurt? Is this still a dream?"
She prodded harder.
Qin Hao grabbed her hand and wrapped it in his big palm, "It's not a dream, I love you Shuyi."
Shen Shuyi snorted, "You must not only love me, but also love our child, otherwise I would not have worked so hard to conceive..."
Qin Hao covered her mouth with his hand, his eyes gentle, "Shuyi, you have worked hard."
"When the child is born, I will make you the queen."
"It's not that we don't want to close it now, it's..."
This time it was Shen Shuyi's turn to cover his mouth, "I understand."
She was of low status, and was already facing a lot of pressure after being promoted to Imperial Noble Consort all of a sudden. Only by giving birth to a royal heir could she become the queen legitimately, and no one dared to criticize her.
The censors of this era were very stubborn. Taizu had ordered not to kill censors, and Qin Hao was not a tyrant, so he would not do that.
Qin Hao looked at her, feeling that everything was unreal, his eyes swept over Shen Shuyi's not-yet-noticeable belly.
I looked at it for a long time after I saw it.
Shen Shuyi took his hand with amusement, “You can touch it.”
Qin Hao quickly squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his belly, his deep eyes full of light.
Seeing how cautious he was, Shen Shuyi found it hard not to think of the previous vigorous conquest and kneading, and she was speechless.
The man added, “It’s still flat.”
Seeing his big dog lying down, Shen Shuyi softened her heart and accepted the nonsense.
"Well, the imperial physician said that it will take four or five months for the pregnancy to show."
"When the baby is born, I will accompany Your Majesty to review memorials."
When Qin Hao heard this, his heart ached, his eyes turned red, and the hand that was against his stomach was shaking.
His chest was filled with love, and he just wanted to give his warm heart to his beloved Shuyi, so that she would know that the emperor's love belonged to her alone.
…
When Shen Shuyi woke up, she found Yingxue tidying up the dressing table. She propped herself up and asked, "What happened?"
Yingxue said happily: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has issued an order for you to go to Weiyang Palace to recuperate."
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow, it turned out that what he heard in a daze last night was true.
He wanted her to recuperate in the emperor's palace, which would provide the greatest possible protection for her and the fetus in her womb.
As soon as the news spread that the Imperial Noble Consort would live with His Majesty in the Weiyang Palace, Empress Dowager Li in the Cining Palace could no longer sit still.
That bitch Shen is pregnant with the dragon heir, what should Yier do!
The fetus in Shen's belly must not be kept!
"Xia Rong, come here. I have something for you to do."
Xia Rong, the new head nanny of the Cining Palace, was a middle-aged woman who was efficient and effective. She understood immediately after hearing what the empress dowager whispered.
"Please rest assured, Queen Mother. I will train Die'er well so that she can be used at the Lip Flower Appreciation Banquet next year."
Outside the palace, things were not peaceful in Prince Qin's residence. The aides were discussing with each other how to get rid of the Imperial Concubine.
After several discussions, an old minister finally proposed the final solution.
"Things have come to this point. If you don't take action now, it will be too late."
"While the Imperial Concubine is pregnant and cannot serve His Majesty, why don't we find a way to send our people into the palace to serve His Majesty, and then wait for the right opportunity to get rid of the Imperial Concubine."
In fact, they already have a candidate, but they are afraid that the prince will not agree.
After many attempts, Qin Yi finally understood that they wanted Shen Fu to enter the palace. After all, Shen Fu looked somewhat like the Imperial Concubine and was also very beautiful. No one was more suitable than her.
Qin Yi pinched his brows, his marriage with Chen Fu had been delayed again and again and now he had no intention of continuing, not to mention that the attitude of the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely unclear, and it seemed that they had given up on winning him over. In this case... he might as well give it a try.
Even if Shen Fu didn't listen to him, Shen Fu's hatred for Shen Shuyi had already reached its peak. She knew what she would do without anyone saying anything...
Compared with the throne, women are nothing...
"Then follow what Grand Tutor Yang said. Please contact the Prime Minister."
…
The wind was surging outside the palace, but the Weiyang Palace was warm and cozy, and the cold winter wind could not blow into the warm room where Shen Shuyi usually stayed.
She was still leaning on the couch, reading a storybook and eating snacks, when she unexpectedly heard the announcement that the Empress Dowager was coming in.
She quickly stood up and saluted. The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "No need to be polite, Imperial Concubine. You are pregnant now, so you have to be careful in everything."
"From now on, you can call me Grandmother, just like the Emperor."
Shen Shu saw that she had a kind face and had protected Qin Hao when he was young, so she couldn't help but feel a little closer to her, so she called her sweetly, "Grandmother."
The Empress Dowager choked up a little when she spoke again, "It is really the Buddha's blessing."
"Come here, pick out all the best jewelry in my storehouse and give them all to the Imperial Concubine."
At this moment, the emperor came back. He walked over and said with a smile, "Grandmother, please stop making trouble. I will never miss Shuyi's reward."
