Although Bai Yurou was a little timid, she was not really stupid. She still forced herself to deal with the difficulties posed by the concubine.
"My expression has always been like this. I'm sorry to trouble you ladies and gentlemen for your concern." Bai Yurou said humbly.
"It seems that Lady Bai is not in good health. Her face has always been so pale and haggard. With such a weak body, can she bear children for Your Majesty?"
"If you can't give birth to an heir for His Majesty, then what's the point of you entering the palace? You're a waste." Wu Zhaorong said with disdain.
Wushuang, who was sitting in front of Wu Zhaorong, glanced at her calmly and said with a smile, "Wu Zhaorong is quite impressive."
"Although it is a big deal to continue the lineage for Your Majesty, does what Wu Zhaorong said mean she is dissatisfied with me?" Wushuang stared at Wu Zhaorong and said.
She has been in the palace for ten years and has no children. According to Wu Zhaorong, she is also a waste as a concubine?
Wu Zhaorong was shocked. She didn't expect that when she was targeting Bai Yurou, she actually hit the imperial concubine.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Wu Zhaorong with an expression of disappointment.
More harm than good.
Wu Zhaorong looked at the Queen for help. She didn't expect that she had said the wrong thing and offended the Imperial Concubine. She asked the Queen to save her.
Zhao Xuanyi glanced at Wu Zhaorong calmly, then looked at Wushuang and said, "Your Highness, don't be so sensitive. This isn't about you."
"Your Majesty, you haven't conceived a child for so many years, but you still act like an idiot in the palace?" Zhao Xuanyi said sarcastically.
Wushuang smiled and said, "That's true. Who can blame me for having such a loving and promising family?"
Zhao Xuanyi: “…”
Zhao Xuanyi was too lazy to continue arguing with Wushuang, so she asked the other concubines to talk quickly to change the subject or get out.
"Is there anything else, Her Majesty?" Wushuang looked at the people around him and asked quickly because he was really bored.
"I woke up early this morning and feel like I haven't slept enough... If the greetings are over, I'll go back to sleep."
She was really busy last night.
Yes, she went to meet Huo Yuanzhou secretly again.
It was rare to meet a man who suited her taste so well, so of course she had to meet him more often while he was still in the capital.
Huo Yuanzhou is a military general after all, and he can't stay in the capital for a long time. If there is a war, he will have to leave the capital.
Moreover, fighting a war is not an easy matter. Sometimes it is not impossible that it may take a year and a half, or three to five years.
If she missed him, who knew how long it would take her to see Huo Yuanzhou again?
I have to look for him more often while he is still in the capital.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at her rosy, fair face and couldn't tell that she didn't get enough sleep.
"There's nothing to do today, you can go." Zhao Xuanyi wanted to keep them and continue watching the verbal battle between a group of women, but she was no match for Wushuang at all.
She wanted to punish Wushuang, but she had the He family and His Majesty's support behind her, so she couldn't punish her no matter what.
Wushuang was the first to stand up when he heard Zhao Xuanyi's words.
"Since the Queen is fine, I will go back first." Wushuang waved his hand lazily.
Anyway, she doesn't need to deal with palace affairs, and she doesn't need to worry about anything other than being beautiful every day, so she won't stay to watch other people fight.
She could watch the show anytime, she had to go back and catch up on some sleep.
Seeing Wushuang's arrogant look, Wu Zhaorong gritted her teeth and said, "The Imperial Concubine is really so rude and has no respect for the Empress."
Zhao Xuanyi looked at her and said, "Knowing that she's arrogant, why did you bother to provoke her?"
That He Wushuang, even she, the queen, had to stay away from her. How powerful was Wu Zhaorong to dare to provoke her?
Wu Zhaorong lowered her head silently. She didn't want to provoke the imperial concubine.
"Alright, keep an eye on that Bai," Zhao Xuanyi said. "You need to keep a close eye on that Xiao, too. After all, a woman recommended by He Wushuang isn't as simple as she appears."
Wu Zhaorong nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep a close eye on them."
These two people were recommended to the palace by the Imperial Concubine. In the eyes of the people in the harem, they naturally stood on the side of the Imperial Concubine, so the Queen's faction had to be wary.
Oh, so what if Bai is favored?
Such a timid woman could easily die after falling out of favor.
If the women who enter the palace cannot become strong, destruction will be their only fate.
Wu Zhaorong couldn't help but sneer when she thought of the women who had disappeared from the harem over the years.
Not everyone can remain favored for ten years without having any children. There is only one imperial concubine like her.
High-ranking concubines like them basically all have children.
For example, Wu Zhaorong, although she gave birth to a daughter instead of a son, she was still a concubine who could give birth.
The concubines of lower rank who have not borne children are now either staying in the cold palace or have long disappeared from the harem.
…
Wushuang didn't care about the turmoil in the harem. Even when she knew that Xiao Yuting would be more favored than Bai Yurou after serving her in the emperor's bedchamber in a few days, she didn't care much.
"Concubine Zhou of Yunjing Palace is also pregnant and is three months pregnant." Cuizhu reported to her master.
Wushuang said, "Hmm," and then asked, "How many women in the harem are pregnant now?"
"My lord, nine ladies are already pregnant," Cuizhu said.
"Miss Ye is now six months pregnant."
Wushuang said calmly, "Then the news of my pregnancy should be spread."
Wushuang looked down at her belly. She was pregnant.
Of course, the baby in her belly was not even three months old. She had been pregnant for just over a month.
Cuizhu looked at her master in surprise when she heard this, "Are you pregnant?"
When did the master become pregnant?
Wushuang looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't you know that my period hasn't come yet this month?"
Cuizhu is her personal maid and confidante, taking care of her daily life. She should be very familiar with her menstrual period patterns.
She hasn't had her period this month, doesn't she know?
Cuizhu was surprised and said, "Master, your period is sometimes delayed for a day or two. I really didn't notice that you didn't have your period this month."
You know, today is not the day when her master has her period. Doesn’t she know that it is normal for her master to be pregnant?
"Master, are you saying you're a month pregnant?" Cuizhu was very happy that her master was pregnant, but...
"You're not even three months pregnant yet, and the news of your pregnancy has already spread. How can it be okay?"
Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "It can't be concealed, and I can guarantee the safety of the child in my belly."
"I will never allow anyone to harm my child." Wushuang said with a firm expression.
The "anyone" she mentioned, of course, also included the "most noble person in the world", the emperor.
She will protect Wushuang's children herself and will make sure they grow up safely.
Then, he seized Yan Mingting's throne!
