So she rushed directly towards the emperor, and the emperor was so scared that he quickly caught her.
"Your Majesty is the most handsome man in the world, the richest man, and I love Your Majesty the most."
After saying this, she hugged the emperor and kissed him several times without any etiquette, then asked with stars in her eyes, "Your Majesty, is there silver in the box?"
The emperor, who was originally very happy to be praised, said: "..."
But seeing how happy she was, he nodded with a hint of doting.
"Don't be so reckless next time. What if I fall down while you're not here?"
Rong Xi nodded, but he had already walked to the box and opened it after hesitating for a moment.
Just as she thought, it was a box of banknotes. She rubbed her hands excitedly and couldn't wait to count how many there were.
Seeing that she was so happy, the emperor did not stop her. As long as she was happy, it was fine.
Rong Xi was counting money on the couch, and he just looked at her quietly. He found that he could never see enough of her. They had been together every night for more than a month, and because of her words of giving birth to a child for him, he also rushed around like a fool.
Unexpectedly, the child really came. God knows how lucky he was that he entered the Shangshu Mansion when he was injured, and then he met her.
Rong Xi placed the banknotes everywhere. If there was no room on the couch, he would put them on the table next to him, on the chair, and even on the emperor's body.
"Xi'er, are you hungry?"
Rong Xi was not hungry. She just wanted to count her money. The emperor did not get angry when she did not answer him. He just waited for her quietly.
Rong Xi finally finished counting and patted his stomach lightly a few times.
"Little guy, these are all given to us by your father. There are 100,000 taels."
The emperor's heart was pounding. He was very excited to know that Rong Xi was pregnant, but until now he still felt it was unreal, like a dream.
It was not until Rong Xi said that he was the child's father that he truly felt that he had a child.
He held Rong Xi in his arms and sat her on his lap. After trying several times, he finally placed his hand on Rong Xi's belly. He said awkwardly to her belly, "Child, I am your father."
After saying it, it didn't seem as awkward as he had imagined, so he said it again to Rong Xi's belly.
"My child, I am your father, and this is your mother. Be a good boy and don't bother your mother."
.
At the same time, the harem was full of suspicion. Everyone knew that yesterday, Concubine Chun was punished by the Imperial Concubine and sent back to the palace. Today, His Majesty took away the Imperial Concubine's power to assist in managing the six palaces, and even confined her to her house for a month.
They were all wondering what kind of charm Jiang Rongxi had used to make His Majesty disregard their past friendship.
Or, is there something wrong with Jiang Rongxi, or is he seriously ill?
None of the people they sent to investigate could find out anything, and all they said was that he had caught a cold.
But how could they believe it?
.
Concubine Zhao also learned the news on this day. She knew better than anyone what happened that day.
She had suffered this injustice in vain, so naturally she had to get to the bottom of it. She had someone in the Imperial Hospital, and although that person was not specifically responsible for Jiang Rongxi, she had guessed some clues from other imperial doctors.
This imperial physician was a loyal one. Ever since he started to have doubts, he began to carefully observe the imperial physician in charge of Jiang Rongxi.
Seeing that his behavior was indeed strange, she bribed the palace servants who were responsible for handling the medicinal residues. She identified the residue as a pregnancy-maintaining medicine and immediately passed the news to Concubine Zhao's palace.
When Concubine Zhao received the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
How could Jiang Rongxi be pregnant? She had sent so many lucky things, big and small, to her palace, and even the bracelet given to her was seen on her every day.
No wonder His Majesty punished himself so severely. It turned out that he was standing up for that bitch.
The palace maids who served her thought that the imperial concubine would make a big fuss when she heard the news, but the result was that she was unusually calm. She sat quietly in the room all day and no one allowed her to be disturbed.
Lindong felt sad when he saw this. The time she spent with the imperial concubine was the same as Cuiyu who had been executed.
She is very clear and understands the principle that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer, so she has served loyally no matter what happened over the years.
Seeing that her master had locked her in the house for a whole day, she had no choice but to go in with food at the risk of being punished.
"My lady, please come and eat something. Don't hurt yourself."
The charcoal brazier in the room had gone out at some point, and the room was cold and deserted.
Concubine Zhao was sitting alone in front of the dressing table, holding a hairpin in her hand, with dried tears on her face. Lin Dong felt heartbroken when he saw her.
He first asked someone to bring in a charcoal brazier before he walked over.
"I know Your Majesty is heartbroken, but You must protect yourself. If Concubine Chun can get pregnant, then so can You. I heard from the servants around Your Majesty that a great doctor came to the capital, and it was because of His Majesty's treatment that Concubine Chun became pregnant."
Concubine Zhao finally raised her head and looked at Lin Dong in front of her. Her voice was a little hoarse after not speaking for a long time. "What you said is true."
"Your Majesty, regardless of whether this miracle doctor really exists, Jiang Rongxi's pregnancy is true. This means that Your Majesty's body has recovered. Your Majesty's most important thing now is to take good care of yourself and bear a child for Your Majesty."
Concubine Zhao was naturally moved. "But I'm already at this age, is it still possible for me to have children?"
"Your Majesty is so young, not to mention one, even several children wouldn't be a problem. Women in the countryside can still give birth in their fifties or sixties. Your Majesty has been pampered since she was young, so she can definitely have one."
After hearing Lin Dong's words, hope really ignited in her heart.
She is obsessed with the position of queen
She had known the news several years ago that His Majesty had been childless for many years and no one in the harem was pregnant. It was said that if His Majesty still did not have his own children in the end, he would adopt a child from a side branch.
She was the one with the highest rank and the most noble status in the harem. When the child was born, it was naturally her responsibility to raise it. As the only one with a child, she naturally became the queen.
Over the years, she has tried every possible way and put in every possible effort just to get that position.
She carefully calculated every move and paved every path to becoming the queen.
Not only that, she also started planning early and made all preparations to become the queen.
All this made everyone in the harem believe it without a doubt, and they had long regarded her as the future queen.
The concubines were jealous and afraid of her, but could do nothing about it. The palace maids and eunuchs flattered her and tried their best to please her, fearing that they would do anything wrong in front of her.
But now Jiang Rongxi is pregnant. How can she be willing to accept this? She can't let Jiang Rongxi sit on the throne of queen, and there is no way the child in her belly can be born safely.
