The emperor watched the person in front of him getting closer and closer, and the fragrance of Rong Xi also penetrated into his nose.
He had been celibate for several months, and his eyes became increasingly grave, as if he wanted to swallow the person in front of him, but he finally endured it.
"Xi'er, you can't do that."
"Why not?"
Rong Xi stopped what he was doing and stared at the emperor in a daze.
"Xi'er, you are pregnant now. I am afraid that I might hurt you and the baby."
The emperor was pressed down on the couch, not daring to use any strength for fear that she would fall off the bed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I have consulted the imperial physician, and he said that once the condition stabilizes in three months, it will be fine. I have been fine for several months now."
"Xi'er, this is really not working. Come down quickly."
Rong Xi held down his hand that was about to break free, "Your Majesty, you'd better give up resisting. You can't escape today."
"Xi'er, is this really possible?"
He was kissed randomly by Rong Xi, and in this position, if he didn't react, he would really not be a man.
"Can."
Rong Xi was gently placed on the couch by the emperor. "Xi'er, just this once, don't be greedy."
The emperor was tall, with his back to the bed, his long black hair hanging on one side, and his strong back was covered with red marks from being scratched.
On the bed, the woman tilted her head back slightly, breathing rapidly and passionately. Her skin flushed, emitting an enchanting luster.
The emperor kept whispering in Rong Xi's ear, "Xi'er, my precious baby."
The emperor was afraid that his movements would be too big and hurt her and the child, so he tried his best to endure it, but the demon clung to him tightly as if to suck his energy.
The emperor was dragged away by Rong Xi again after just one incident. The next day, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself a few times. She was young and didn't understand, but he followed her in making trouble. What if she got hurt?
Rong Xi was sleeping soundly and had no idea that the imperial physician had already visited her once while she was still asleep.
The imperial physician followed the emperor out quietly, speaking in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is fine, but..."
Doctor Wen's face flushed, and he stammered, "But Your Majesty still has to take care of the Empress, who is pregnant. It's a fluke that she just fell asleep out of exhaustion, but it may not be the same next time."
"Well, go down."
Only after the emperor heard the imperial physician say that everything was fine did he finally feel at ease and go to court.
In the court!
The emperor was sitting at the top of the table, thinking about what name to give to his soon-to-be-born child. He was daydreaming when suddenly the conversation below started about serious matters.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor's death anniversary is approaching. Can we still hold the ceremony as usual this year?"
The emperor forgot that his good father's death anniversary was approaching.
"It will go on as usual."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The emperor turned his attention to Jiang Heng again. Jiang Heng had been resting at home for a few days, and this was his second time attending court after the selection.
Because her daughter did not observe etiquette in the palace, Jiang Heng was demoted one level, confined to recuperate for half a month, and had his salary deducted for three months. At this time, he was ridiculed by many people in the court. They said that he was like this even though he had a daughter who was a favorite concubine. They thought that this was because his daughter was not liked at home.
When Jiang Heng first received the news, he was completely stunned.
He originally thought that since Jiang Rongxi, the rebellious daughter, was out of control, he would let another concubine's daughter go in, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a big disaster.
The person who came to issue the imperial edict said that if they were not the mother's family of Concubine Rong, the matter would not have been covered up so easily today.
There was no hope for his daughter to enter the palace, so he once again placed his hopes on Jiang Rongxi.
Jiang Rongyuan has been kneeling in the ancestral hall since she returned home. A few days ago, she thought she could enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine, and she was showing off at home, but now she has become a laughing stock of everyone.
In just a few days, her stepmother found a home for her and she was carried out in a sedan chair, as if she was sending away a plague god.
.
Rong Xi didn't know all this. At this moment, she was walking on the way to the Imperial Garden with Concubine Ning.
"The sun is shining brightly today, and many flowers are blooming in the Imperial Garden."
"yes."
The two of them brought their respective palace maids to the Imperial Garden, and as expected, they saw Concubine Zhao in the pavilion.
"Since you two sisters are so elegant, you must be here to enjoy the flowers."
Rong Xi walked up to her and looked at her swollen face, speaking respectfully but with a hint of provocation.
"Yes, Imperial Concubine, why are you here in the Imperial Garden? What are you plotting?"
"Jiang Rongxi, don't take advantage of His Majesty's favor and speak to me so brazenly."
Rong Xi's voice was soft, so the palace servants waiting outside the pavilion naturally didn't hear it, but Concubine Zhao showed no intention of holding back her voice.
As for Concubine Ning, she had already left as soon as she received Rong Xi's gaze, saying that she wanted to go and see the pear blossoms on the east side.
"Your Highness, do you know that His Majesty is most looking forward to the child in my belly? He also said that he wants him to be the crown prince in the future. I wonder if he has ever told you this."
"Jiang Rongxi, you are just a concubine's daughter of a minor official, yet you want to have such a grand dream? Not to mention that you still don't know what's in your belly. Even if it's a prince, you'd have to raise him up."
This was already a clear threat, and Rong Xi was unwilling to give in.
"Your Highness, you are threatening me."
"Threat, huh, you're not qualified."
Rong Xi stood up and walked to her side.
"My Lady, it's not up to you to decide whether I'm qualified or not. I'm the one in control of this game."
Rong Xi walked up to Concubine Zhao and said, "You know very well how this child came about, Your Majesty. But I also want to tell you that being pregnant is not a great achievement; giving birth to a child is."
When Rong Xi was only one step away from Concubine Zhao, Lin Dong beside her stepped forward to block Concubine Zhao.
"Your Highness, please don't get too close. After all, our Highness cannot tolerate dirty things."
Zhizi, who was beside Rong Xi, also said that she was not a vegetarian. She didn't dare to touch Concubine Zhao, but she was not afraid of Lin Dong.
He grabbed Lin Dong's hand and pushed it back fiercely, "Who the hell are you to disrespect our queen?"
Lin Dong staggered after being pushed, and Concubine Zhao also stood up at this time.
"You are so bold, Jiang Rongxi, you just let your maid do this to you."
"My Lady, I'm not just going to touch her, I'm going to touch you too."
"How dare you? I am the imperial concubine."
"My Lady, you are worthy."
The bracelet on Rong Xi's hand accidentally touched the stone table, and the opened bracelet fell to the ground, but no one had time to look, because Rong Xi seemed to have stepped on something and fell straight forward.
As expected, he fell on Concubine Zhao, and both of them fell heavily to the ground.
