The emperor and the empress dowager sat in silence for a long time, and the empress dowager only spoke after considering for a long time.
"The Emperor heard that you wanted to give Chuxiu Palace to Rongpin, but it's true."
The emperor also knew that his mother had been tortured by the woman favored by his father when she was young, but Xier was not the kind of person who was arrogant and domineering.
"yes."
"You are the emperor, so it's only natural for you to show more favor to your beloved woman. But this Rongpin has only been in the palace for a little over two months, and now she's been promoted and moved to another palace. What will the ministers in the court think? What will those who secretly harbor ulterior motives think?"
"My son understands what the Queen Mother means. I am almost thirty now, and the power in my hands cannot be easily manipulated."
Seeing that she could not persuade the emperor, the empress dowager was angry and had already blamed all this on Jiang Rongxi, who was still sleeping soundly in the palace.
"A-choo, A-choo!"
"My lady is feeling unwell. Would you like to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
"No need!" After saying that, he turned over to dry in the sun and then continued to sleep.
.
"Emperor, I know you like this Concubine Rong, but the most important thing now is an heir. You are well now, and for the sake of an heir, you should visit other palaces more often."
When the emperor heard about the matter of his offspring, his face instantly darkened.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Mother, my son is not well."
The Queen Mother almost lost her grip on the tea. "What are you talking about? I heard that you've been with Rongpin every day lately. How could you be unwell?"
Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still told the empress dowager what the imperial physician said in the imperial study that day.
The empress dowager looked at the emperor as if all her energy was drained. Didn't they say that he was much better? How come... No, the news came directly from Shunde, it couldn't be false.
"Emperor, please don't lie to me for a woman."
"Mother, I am more anxious about the issue of offspring than you are, but this is indeed true."
"Wow, what kind of evil has befallen me?" The Queen Mother sniffed and asked again with a heavy nasal tone, "So is this Rongpin your trick?"
The emperor didn't know why the empress dowager had such an idea, but after thinking about it, he found that it was indeed the case on the surface.
The emperor patiently told the empress dowager the true relationship between him and Rong Xi, which made the empress dowager cry in the middle of her eyes, unable to stop.
"What you said is true, that offspring..."
"My son has also consulted the imperial physician, and he is afraid that he will never have children in this lifetime."
"Oh, never mind. If that's the case, just adopt a child as soon as possible."
The emperor also had this idea, but what could he do now?
After leaving the Queen Mother, he went to the Imperial Study and asked Shunde to inform Prince Liang to bring his three sons to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother in three days.
Shunde saw that His Majesty was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to say anything more and went out to do his work.
When the emperor returned to Chuxiu Palace, Jiang Rongxi had already fallen asleep.
He really didn't know how this kitten could sleep so much in a day, sleeping during the day and at night.
After taking a bath, he lay down on the couch in his pajamas. Rong Xi heard the noise and turned around, and before the emperor could reach out to hug her, she put her hand in defense.
"Your Majesty, I will not sleep with you tonight."
The emperor originally just wanted to hold the person in his arms and sleep, but after hearing what she said, he wanted to ask why he always did what he wanted during this period of time.
"Why don't you want to sleep with me? Are you feeling uncomfortable, or did I bite you and hurt you?"
Rong Xi recalled it and felt that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She was already used to the pain from the emperor's bite.
So he shook his head.
"Then why don't you want to sleep with me? Didn't Mammy tell you that you must obey me in everything?"
As the emperor spoke, he pressed the person down under him and pretended to kiss her.
Rong Xi was startled and her first reaction was to protect her stomach with a look of panic on her face.
The emperor saw that she was protecting her stomach, so he thought she was having her period. He kissed her forehead and lay down on his side.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, just sleep well."
He heard that women would feel abdominal discomfort during menstruation, so he wanted to reach out and rub her stomach. As soon as his hand touched Rong Xi's waist, Rong Xi immediately slapped his hand away, preventing him from touching her stomach.
"What are you doing? I'll give you a massage and it will make you feel better."
"Can't."
Rong Xi had a ferocious look on her face, as if she would fight you to death if you dared to touch her.
The emperor was already in a bad mood today, and originally thought that he could relax with her, but he didn't expect that after coming, he couldn't touch her at all.
Jiang Rongxi didn't quite understand why His Majesty was angry. Instead, he felt that the couch had become much bigger after he left, and it was okay for him to roll back and forth on it.
Only Chunhua Qiuyue looked worried and said, "My lady, how did you make His Majesty angry?"
Jiang Rongxi thought about it and realized that she had not eaten anything unclean, nor had she pulled the wool, nor had she pushed anything to the ground, so it was not her who made His Majesty angry.
"I have not offended His Majesty."
"What did the young lady just do with His Majesty? Could you please tell us?"
Rong Xi thought about it and it seemed that the only option was to prevent His Majesty from touching her belly, but the belly could not be touched now.
"I didn't let Your Majesty touch my belly, and I don't want to sleep with you."
"This... My lady, His Majesty wants you to sleep with him because he likes you. Why don't you want to?"
The two of them coaxed him like they were coaxing a child.
"I just don't want you to go out."
She didn't want to be with Chunhua Qiuyue anymore. Even though she couldn't sleep with them now, they still tried to persuade her to do so.
Seeing Rong Xi about to explode, the two stopped asking and said, "My lady, please go to sleep. I will make you something delicious tomorrow."
Rong Xi didn't want to pay attention to them, so he turned around and fell asleep.
System: [Ding, Rong Xi, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?]
The feeling of a white cloth covering Rong Xi's mind suddenly disappeared, and she remembered that she was now a tasker.
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
[Rong Xi, you might be found out you're pregnant soon. Do you still want to go through the pregnancy like this?]
"What's the meaning?"
[Many people in the harem and the previous dynasty do not want the emperor to give birth to an heir. If you remain in your current state, it will be difficult for you to keep your child.]
Rong Xi stroked her slightly bulging belly. She clearly couldn't feel anything yet, but she just didn't want anyone to hurt her.
"Well, then let's eliminate it slowly. Too fast will easily arouse suspicion."
【OK. 】
.
The next day, news spread that the emperor had left Chuxiu Palace in anger.
At this time, Noble Lady Qin was sitting in Noble Concubine Chun's palace, with a flattering look on her face.
"I thought Rongpin would remain in favor for a long time, but after just a few days, His Majesty has already grown tired of her. I heard from the eunuchs around His Majesty that he was very angry when he returned home last night."
