Rong Xi finally drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine because she could see that the emperor was really worried about her.
During the entire process, Rong Xi did not mention anything about what happened in Concubine Zhao's palace.
"Xi'er, I have asked Concubine Zhao to give up her authority as assistant to the six palaces and have confined her to her residence for a month. Her personal maid has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Do you think this is feasible?"
"Your Majesty, I lost control of my emotions today. I don't know what came over me at the time, but when I heard those words, I felt very uncomfortable. Your Majesty should not punish the Imperial Concubine. After all, it was me who initiated the attack. If others knew about this, they would think Your Majesty was biased towards me."
Full of green tea flavor.
Now, in the eyes of the emperor, Rong Xi is a person who may show some temper but is very polite. He never thought that what happened today was done intentionally by Rong Xi.
"I favor you and love you. If anyone dares to gossip about me, I will let them..."
The emperor wanted to say something unpleasant, but looking at Rong Xi's belly, he wanted to be more polite, so he changed it to, "I will make her suffer."
Rong Xi looked at the emperor with sparkling eyes, like a favored child.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting me."
Rong Xi still had a fever and fell asleep quickly.
The emperor watched the man fall asleep, then came out, ordered someone to guard the place, and went to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother had already sent several groups of people to urge him to go over, but he did not send anyone to tell the Queen Mother about Rong Xi's pregnancy. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.
So before he came out, Jin Su had already warned everyone present today.
The Queen Mother called him over so urgently because the power to cooperate with the six palaces was suddenly back in her hands.
She knew how much Concubine Zhao valued the power of assisting in the management of the six palaces. She also heard that the emperor did so because of the new Concubine Chun who had just entered the palace. She didn't understand what was going on.
Since she couldn't get any information from Concubine Chun's palace, she sent someone to investigate in Concubine Zhao's palace. The information they got was that this happened because Concubine Chun had contradicted Concubine Zhao.
She became more and more angry. Just this small matter caused such a big commotion and even put Concubine Zhao under house arrest. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Jiang Rongxi could not be kept, otherwise there would be no telling how much trouble would arise in the harem.
Seeing the emperor coming in, her face was not very good either.
The emperor did not tell the reason immediately, but asked everyone to leave before speaking.
"Mother, I know why you are angry, but I have something good to tell you."
"Emperor, you are the highest ruler. You should know the consequences of favoring a concubine. You and I suffered so much because of this. How could you cause unrest in the harem now because of Jiang Rongxi?"
"Mother, listen to me..."
"It's not that I don't like Jiang Rongxi. Since she entered the palace, have you visited the other concubines' palaces? The most important thing now is offspring. You should put this matter first instead of just focusing on love affairs."
"Mother."
The emperor's voice was a little louder this time, but his expression was still happy, which confused the empress dowager. He was smiling as soon as he came in, and she really didn't know what was wrong with him.
The emperor saw that she finally stopped and slowly took a sip of tea before speaking again.
"Mother, you may be very excited about what I will say, but you must remain calm."
"Tell me, I have seen all kinds of storms and waves."
"Xi'er is pregnant."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth wide without caring about her manners, "What did you say? Say it again, who is pregnant?"
The emperor knew that his mother would be happy, and suddenly his nose felt a little sour. When his mother was young, she suffered a lot of torture from his father's concubines for her own safety.
He finally ascended the throne of the emperor, but she still had to worry about his offspring, recite scriptures, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day.
"Mother, Concubine Chun is pregnant and has been pregnant for over a month. The imperial physician just checked her pulse and both she and the baby are fine."
This time the Queen Mother really heard it clearly and couldn't help wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"Thank God, and the royal ancestors, my son finally has an heir."
Both of them had red eyes. After the empress dowager calmed down, she thought about what she had learned today and probably guessed why the emperor punished Concubine Zhao.
"How is Concubine Chun now? Why don't you stay there and tell me? You can just send someone to tell me. Why do you come here by yourself and leave her alone? I have to go and see her."
"Don't worry, mother. Xi'er is fine. She just took the medicine to maintain her pregnancy and has fallen asleep. I have arranged for someone to protect her over there. She is not pregnant yet. My son wants to wait until she is more stable before letting anyone know. Let's keep it a secret for now."
"Okay, okay, as long as she's okay, I've been confused. I really shouldn't let more people know about this now."
"Don't worry, mother."
"Alright, Your Majesty, I want to remind you a few things. Your offspring is not easy to come by. Many eyes are watching you inside and outside the palace. You must be careful of those with evil intentions. Find reliable people to watch over your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."
"What the Queen Mother is reminding me is that my son will definitely be careful."
The Queen Mother was afraid that someone would find out, so she finally resisted the urge to go to Rong Xi's palace to check on her.
When the emperor came back, Rong Xi had already woken up. He still told Rong Xi that the reason the empress dowager couldn't come to see her was not because she didn't like her.
Rong Xi didn't care, she still felt restrained when she came here.
Seeing that she looked depressed, the emperor called Jin Su, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, in.
"Let's get started."
Rong Xi was still wondering what he was going to do when she saw palace maids and eunuchs passing by her carrying trays of different sizes.
The tray was filled with either gems or pearls, as well as gold and pearl hairpins. The various gold, silver, and jade stones dazzled Rong Xi.
The emperor could have sent it over earlier, but thinking of what the empress dowager reminded him, he asked someone to check everything and make sure there were no problems before bringing it over.
It can be seen that Rong Xi likes it very much, and his eyes are almost staring at the gem.
"Here, let me see this."
Rong Xi got a string of pearl necklaces and jade necklaces with extremely beautiful colors and loved them very much.
"Your Majesty, I love you so much. I love these things so much. Your Majesty, you are so kind."
The person who said you are so nice didn't even glance at the emperor sitting next to him, but just stared at the jewel pendant in his hand.
The emperor sighed helplessly. This girl is really...
It took Rong Xi a long time to finish looking at these things. After everyone left, a large box was left in the house.
"Xi'er, if you say a few words to cheer me up, everything in this box will be yours."
Rong Xi looked at the heavy box and roughly guessed what was inside.
So he rushed directly towards the emperor, and the frightened emperor quickly caught him.
