Chapter 114 Seeing Zhaopin being favored, he wanted to deal with her
He didn't expect the woman to leave.
He thought that after being together for more than 40 days, this woman would have some place for him in her heart. But, in the end, this woman was actually thinking of abandoning him and the child and leaving alone?
He spoke each word slowly, "Until now, you still don't want to stay, huh?"
Shen Yuanwei did not equivocate or hesitate. She nodded and said firmly, "Yes, this palace is just a place where I stay temporarily. It has never been my home."
Xie Junlin suddenly felt blocked in his heart when he heard this.
He stared into Shen Yuanwei's eyes, "What about me? I have slept with you in the same bed for more than 40 days. I have obeyed you in every way. No other concubine has ever been so doted on and pampered by me. The husbands of ordinary families may not be able to treat you as well as I do. Am I not qualified to be your husband?"
Shen Yuanwei shook her head.
"In my heart, the emperor is just an emperor, not a husband."
Xie Junlin suddenly used a little more force on the fingers that were pinching her chin.
He pointed at the door and asked without knowing whether he was happy or angry.
"If I am not your husband, then who is the husband in your heart? Is it him, Xiao Lingzhao? You still love him in your heart, right?"
"You are by my side now, and you are pregnant with my child, but you are still thinking of abandoning my child to live with Xiao Lingzhao, right?"
Shen Yuanwei felt a slight pain in her chin and frowned.
This emperor is really unreasonable. He doesn't allow her to think about other people while she is pregnant with his child? It's only been more than a month. Has he almost forgotten that he stole someone else's wife?
He looked so confident, as if someone else was trying to seduce his woman...
Shen Yuanwei didn't want to bring any trouble to Xiao Lingzhao.
She shook her head.
"It's not because of Xiao Lingzhao, but because of your status and position, Your Majesty, I never dare to regard you as my husband."
"Your Majesty, you said you were good to me, but the kindness you showed me now was only because I was still useful to you. When I am no longer useful to you, will Your Majesty still treat me the same way as before?"
"I come from the countryside, I don't have any rules, I'm outspoken, I say harsh things, and I'm proud and can't stand being wronged. If I married an ordinary man, I could point at his nose and have a big fight with him if he made me unhappy, but what about you, Your Majesty? If I dare to point at your nose and scold you, you will immediately sentence me to death."
"I don't even need to scold you. When I was no longer useful, even if I just said a few more words to contradict you, you would banish me to the cold palace and kill me."
She looked into Xie Junlin's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have always been aware of the fate of someone like me who stays with you, so until this moment, I am still determined. I will definitely leave the palace after giving birth to the child—"
"I am leaving not because you are not good, Your Majesty, but because I cherish my life."
After hearing her explanation, Xie Junlin's expression looked better.
He just said...
They have been together for more than 40 days, and he pampers this woman every night. Now this woman is no longer opposed to being affectionate with him. Even if this love needs to be done, it should be done.
Sure enough, he had a little place in this woman's heart.
The woman wanted to leave him not because he was a bad person, but because she was afraid of his imperial authority and was afraid of being sentenced to death by him.
Xie Junlin kissed the corner of her lips and comforted her, "No, I won't kill you. You will always be the mother of my child. You will always be different from others in my eyes."
Shen Yuanwei didn't believe his nonsense.
This is what she said now, but no one knows how she will be killed in the future.
She would not gamble her life on the emperor's long-lasting love.
Besides...
She still wanted Xiao Lingzhao's affection more.
The affection of a young, handsome and obedient husband is pleasing to the eye, but the affection of an old man who is more than ten years older than her seems a bit tasteless.
Xie Junlin was unaware of Shen Yuanwei's inner disgust.
Seeing that Shen Yuanwei didn't say anything, Xie Junlin didn't dwell on this issue any further.
He told himself—
Shen Yuanwei has only been with him for more than forty days, which is still a short time. Although Shen Yuanwei has some feelings for him, the feelings are not deep, so she is naturally reluctant to leave him.
But it doesn’t matter, there are still nine months to go, and he believes that Shen Yuanwei will fall deeply in love with him and will never be willing to leave him.
He has such confidence.
He said, "My mother asked the imperial kitchen to cook some nourishing soup. I asked someone to bring it up. Please have some."
Shen Yuanwei asked, "What soup?"
He said, "We have chicken soup, fish soup, and pork trotter soup. You can drink whatever you like."
Shen Yuanwei thought, this broth is full of purine, what good will it do if I drink too much?
She shook her head and said, "No, the baby is only a little bit old now. If I drink it, it will all go to my body. It won't do any good to gain too much weight. I'll wait two months before drinking it again."
Xie Junlin smiled and coaxed her, "Drinking too much will make you fat, but drinking less should be fine. I'll ask them to bring it over, and you can drink some. If you really can't drink it, then I'll drink half and you can drink half, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei doesn't like drinking soup.
She said, "I would rather eat pig's feet than drink that soup..."
Xie Junlin burst out laughing.
He gently pinched Shen Yuanwei's cheek and said, "Okay, then you can gnaw on the pig's feet."
He had never coaxed any woman to eat like this before. He thought it was a very troublesome and headache-inducing thing, but when the woman was pregnant with his child, this troublesome thing became warm and interesting.
Seeing that his child's mother was willing to eat obediently after he coaxed her, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
His eyes fell on Shen Yuanwei's abdomen, his eyes full of pride.
My son, isn’t your father so powerful?
Your mother refused to eat, and your father was helping you to coax her. Only if she eats well can you thrive. Although you are not in your father's belly, your father also contributed to your growth...
From now on, your father will coax your mother to eat well every day. Your father will make you grow fat and white in your mother's belly, and you will be smarter and more beautiful than anyone else.
…
Outside the palace at this moment.
Several ministers had something to report to the emperor. As soon as they arrived, Chen Hai waved his whisk and said with a smile, "My lords, please wait a moment. The emperor is not free at the moment."
Several ministers were slightly stunned, "But which lord is in there?"
Chen Hai shook his head and smiled, "No, it's Concubine Zhao who's inside. The Emperor is coaxing Concubine Zhao to drink the tonic soup. My lords, please wait a moment."
The ministers couldn't help but be amazed.
This Concubine Zhao is really favored.
The Queen is obviously pregnant, so why doesn't the Emperor coax the Queen to drink the nourishing soup, but instead coax Concubine Zhao?
I heard that this morning, Imperial Doctor Ge confirmed that Concubine Zhao’s pregnancy was stable, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor happily rewarded everyone in the palace. Even the Queen didn’t get this treatment…
They looked at each other.
The emperor used to be a cold person, and never showed much favor to any of his concubines. He only loved his first wife, the Empress Zhong. But now, the emperor's favor for Concubine Zhao actually surpassed that for the Empress...
Following this trend, it is still unknown which child will become the crown prince in the future.
no.
They are on good terms with Prime Minister Wei, and they only recognize the child in the Queen's belly as the crown prince. When they go back, they must find more faults of Concubine Zhao, and it would be best if they could bring down both Concubine Zhao and her son!
They must not let this vixen snatch the Queen and her son’s things!
