After closing the doors and windows, Cui'e returned and knelt beside Aunt Zhang with red eyes, sobbing in fear and anxiety, "Your Majesty, please don't do this! If we're discovered, this is a serious crime punishable by beheading!"
Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground sobbing softly, Liu Mengyao said impatiently: "It's not bad luck to cry so much."
After glaring at the two of them, Liu Mengyao continued, "Eight years ago, there was no turning back for us.
I originally thought that since the prince had no children, life would be better after adopting a child, but I didn't expect that Liu Ruyue would suddenly appear and get pregnant, ruining my plan.
Now, we have no other choice but to take a risk."
“…”
After hearing what Liu Mengyao said, Nanny Zhang and Cui'e had made up their minds and there was no room for negotiation.
However, when did Liu Mengyao discuss this with them?
When we involved them in this matter in the first place, wasn't it also a direct involvement with no room for negotiation?
Thinking of this, the two of them felt bitter: Why can't their master be like other ladies?
Why do they have such a miserable life that they have to become maids and servants for their masters?
**
Before the Shangshu's wife left the palace, Liu Ruyue knew that she had been there.
Thinking that Liu Mengyao had almost been forced to lose her composure by herself, Liu Ruyue felt that the other party was likely to make a stupid move.
After sending Taohong and Liulv to the small kitchen to oversee the stew, Liu Ruyue, under the pretext of a nap, lay on the bed and began to talk to the system in her sea of consciousness:
"Duck, duck, call duck!"
“Duck!”
“Duck!!”
…
After calling out several times, the system duck finally responded in the sea of consciousness: "I'm here, I'm here, host, I'm here."
"Have you been slacking off by reading storybooks again?"
"No, I didn't slack off!"
The system duck, who was caught slacking off by reading a storybook during work hours, fiercely retorted, "I was learning, not slacking off. Host, please don't slander me."
"oh……"
Hearing the system's response, Liu Ruyue dragged out the last syllable and said jokingly, "I've never heard of anyone reading a storybook while studying. You're just like me sneaking a peek at novels while doing research."
"hey-hey!"
Hearing Liu Ruyue's words, the system scratched the back of its head embarrassedly: "Host, you don't have to praise me. After all, the system is like the master."
“…”
Liu Ruyue was speechless when she heard the system's answer: Was she just praising someone?
Forget it, I won’t bother with a mentally retarded system that is still in its internship period.
"Duck, do you have the ability to monitor the activities of people in the small world?"
Originally, seeing that the system duck looked a bit mentally retarded, Liu Ruyue had no hope for this.
However, the System Duck actually responded excitedly: "Host, as long as you have Fortune Points, you can buy anything here. You only need to spend ten points to monitor non-protagonist characters for twelve hours."
"Okay, from now on, help me monitor Liu Mengyao!"
Hearing that it only required ten points, Liu Ruyue gave the order generously.
Her system replied in a rather servile manner, "Okay, host."
With the system helping to monitor Liu Mengyao's movements, Liu Ruyue was able to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy in the palace.
She is now almost three months pregnant and the morning sickness is almost over.
A few days ago, Liu Huaide, who had taken care of the Liu family affairs, came to the palace to take Tao Yunniang back.
Just as Liu Ruyue had expected, in order not to lose the big tree of Prince Yan's Mansion, Liu Huaide found an excuse to divorce Wang after he returned, comforted the ancestors and elders, and changed Tao Yunniang to the mistress of the Liu family in the family tree.
The original body's three brothers naturally became legitimate sons from illegitimate sons, and Tao Yunniang became the mistress of the Liu family from a concubine.
Prince Zhao Tinghao even asked the steward of the palace to help Jun Ge'er learn how to become a qualified prospective head of the family because he didn't want Liu Ruyue to worry too much during her pregnancy and saw that Liu Ruyue cared about her family very much.
Liu Ruyue felt at ease going with the person arranged by King Yan himself.
After all, Prince Yan and the old princess are now more enthusiastic about Liu Ruyue than before.
The reason for all this is the fetus in her belly.
It has been nearly two months since Liu Ruyue found out she was pregnant. King Yan Zhao Tinghao has been sleeping in different women's rooms like a breeding pig, working hard every night. Only when he is physically exhausted will he come to Jianjia Garden to accompany Liu Ruyue and recuperate.
Whenever he had some energy, he would go to the courtyards of those concubines who looked fertile and sow seeds. However, almost two months had passed, and the court doctors took turns taking pulses every day, but they still couldn't diagnose another pregnancy.
Gradually, King Yan Zhao Tinghao became somewhat discouraged.
Or the old princess would think and comfort Zhao Tinghao: Maybe the grandson of the prince's palace is noble, and a woman without a special fate would not be blessed enough to have my son's child.
Putting it this way, it turns out that Zhao Tinghao's failure is due to the women being unlucky.
Liu Ruyue was overjoyed when she heard this, but she also felt that what the old princess said did make some sense: after all, she was a person from the future, and she was reborn into this body, which could be considered a special fate.
However, no matter what the two of them thought, as long as she was given supreme love and honor, Liu Ruyue felt that it didn't matter.
She accepted all the rewards that the two of them sent her every now and then.
After all, she didn't have much family wealth right now, so she could only keep a little bit of it. Whether it was to support her family, give pocket money to her children, or to leave it as a deposit when they got married, she would need money of her own...
**
When Liu Ruyue was three months pregnant, the old princess and the prince announced to the world that the concubine was pregnant.
At first, outsiders thought it was a rumor.
However, when people in Kyoto saw that Prince Yan's Mansion was preparing to hold a chrysanthemum banquet with great fanfare, they all believed it.
However, some people couldn’t help but complain in their hearts: What’s the big deal? It’s just a pregnancy!
Liu Mengyao, who received the news in the palace, had the same idea.
Hearing that the palace was planning to hold a chrysanthemum banquet for Liu Ruyue, Liu Mengyao gritted her teeth: "Isn't it just a pregnancy? What's the big deal? As long as she, Liu Mengyao, wants, she can get pregnant anytime and anywhere."
However, it was a good thing for her that the palace was planning to hold a chrysanthemum banquet.
Although Liu Mengyao has been pretending to be good and clever since the Shangshu's wife left, she has been trying to get the old princess and the prince to lift her house arrest.
However, it is still impossible to leave the palace.
As a result, her plan was delayed in implementation.
I had originally thought of waiting for a while, until the old princess and the prince had lost their temper before leaving.
But she didn't expect that the mansion would hold a chrysanthemum banquet, which turned out to be convenient for her.
