Chapter 210 The Crown Princess' Pregnancy
Soon, the news that Crown Princess Dong Lanxin was pregnant spread from the Eastern Palace to Emperor Liang's ears like wings. The best imperial doctors and experienced nurses in the palace were quickly dispatched to the Eastern Palace, and at the same time, various rare rewards were continuously sent to Ziwei Pavilion.
Ziwei Pavilion where the Crown Princess lived immediately became the focus of the entire Eastern Palace. Everyone was busy and the entire Eastern Palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
At least, everyone had a happy look on their face.
Zhou Liangdi tried hard to purse her lips, but her eyes were gloomy. Holding a gift in her arms, she was walking towards Ziwei Pavilion reluctantly.
"Did sister also go to Ziwei Pavilion to congratulate?"
When Zhou Liangdi heard the voice behind her, she stopped and looked back. It turned out to be Qin Yuwei, who had just been named Liangyuan a few days ago and had been in the limelight recently.
Now everyone in the Eastern Palace knows that Qin Yuwei was doing business outside and had some money. She helped the prince with disaster relief and only then did she "buy" such a good position.
Zhou Meir looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't even bother to hide the contempt in her eyes. She smiled with a fake smile and said, "Why, are you going too?"
After Zhou Meir finished speaking, her eyes fell on the small box in Qin Yuwei's hand, and she couldn't help but become a little wary.
Although this little girl doesn't have any family background, she is rich. Zhou Meir thought about the Ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest she was going to give as a gift. If they were outshined by a good lady, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Zhou Meir naturally wanted to know what Qin Yuwei had given her, but since it was a gift for the Crown Princess after all, it was not convenient for her to ask to see it.
While she was still struggling, Qin Yuwei had already begun to open her heart. She took the initiative to open the small box in her hand and smiled. Her smile was very innocent, without any scheming, and even a bit of showing off.
"Look, sister. This is the Buddhist scripture I copied by hand every day. I am going to give it to the Crown Princess. I hope it can pray for your Highness, the Crown Princess, and the unborn grandson!"
Zhou Meir glanced into the box and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
She is the Crown Princess, pregnant with the Emperor's grandson, but she is sending a few broken Buddhist scriptures to get rid of beggars?
It's so shabby. It's embarrassing to get close to such a person.
"Oh, Qin Liangyuan is so thoughtful. I'm sure His Highness and the Crown Princess will like it very much." Zhou Meir said perfunctorily and quickened her pace, as if she didn't want to stay any longer.
Qin Yuwei looked at Zhou Meir's back, her smile deepened, and she gently closed the box in her hand.
Zhou Meier was the Crown Prince's Consort, and her status in the harem was second only to that of the Crown Princess. Her father was the commander of the Imperial Guards, and one of the few military commanders who supported the Crown Prince Yan Xiuyun.
The Imperial Guards were responsible for the security of the entire palace, and even Prince Qi Yan Changwen had coveted them for a long time. Therefore, Yan Xiuyun had to find ways to coax Zhou Meir and firmly bind the family behind her to his own camp.
Behind Crown Princess Dong Lanxin is the entire Dong family, while Concubine Zhou Meir is related to the control of the Imperial Guard.
Qin Yuwei knew that she was currently unable to compete with any of them, so she had to lie in wait.
As for gift-giving, let the girls from noble families take the lead. The Crown Princess had seen all kinds of good things, so giving the Buddhist scriptures she had copied by herself seemed more thoughtful.
Moreover, she played a lot of palace fighting dramas in modern times. When a concubine is pregnant, sending her supplements is too risky, okay? Not to mention whether it will be used by someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble, even if she has a headache or fever later, she will suspect that it is because of the food you gave her.
The paper he used to copy the Buddhist scriptures was the common paper in the Eastern Palace, and the ink was the ink personally appreciated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Safety first.
…
"Your Highness, the Queen has been pregnant for two months. I have prescribed a prescription to maintain the pregnancy. You need to take it on time. I will come here every day to check the Queen's pulse in the future." The imperial physician said with his head bowed.
"Okay, okay, thank you!" Yan Xiuyun sat on the edge of the bed, overjoyed, holding the Crown Princess' hand, and was so happy that he was speechless for a moment.
Among all the princes, only he and Prince Qi have married, and there has been no news from Princess Qi. If the Crown Princess can successfully give birth to a boy this time, he will be the eldest grandson of the Emperor!
The position of the crown prince that he had been worried about all day long was finally secured!
The Ziwei Pavilion was now filled with various gifts, and all the concubines from the Eastern Palace came to express their congratulations.
Yan Xiuyun smiled and waved at them, "You are so thoughtful, go back, the Crown Princess needs to rest."
After everyone left, the maid from the palace brought red dates and chestnuts.
"Your Highness, I don't like chestnuts..." Dong Lanxin frowned slightly and wanted to ask the nanny to take the things away.
The nanny smiled as if she had experienced it. "Your Majesty, these red dates and chestnuts symbolize 'early birth of a child'. Eat more of them. I wish your Majesty will give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson soon!"
Yan Xiuyun fed the peeled chestnuts to Dong Lanxin's mouth with his own hands, "For the sake of our son, eat more."
Dong Lanxin had no choice but to open her mouth and ate several in a row before finally changing the subject.
"Your Highness was meeting guests in the front hall just now?"
"Yes, Xiao Yuan is back, and I have some court matters to discuss with him and Mr. Xu. My beloved, just focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about these things." He peeled another chestnut and fed it to her.
Hearing Xiao Yuan's name, Dong Lanxin's fingertips trembled slightly, then she lowered her eyes calmly and ate the chestnut.
…
At night, a strong wind blew in the capital city just as Xu Shiming had said. The dry branches rustled like a demonic wind sweeping through.
Dong Lanxin dismissed all the servants, quietly lit the candles, and casually glanced at the gifts piled up like a mountain in the corner.
Her eyes paused, and she reached out for the inconspicuous little box. After opening it, she saw the Buddhist scriptures copied by Qin Yuwei herself, and a long-lost warmth surged in her heart.
Among so many precious and rare objects, only these simple and unpretentious volumes of scriptures reveal the sincerity of the author.
At this moment, the window behind Dong Lanxin made a very slight sound, which sounded as natural as if it was blown by a strong wind.
"You're here." Dong Lanxin said lightly, but did not turn back.
Xiao Yuan, dressed in black, climbed in through the window, moving as lightly as a swallow.
He walked a few steps behind Dong Lanxin, staring at her back, his voice a little hoarse.
"Xin'er, they said...you are pregnant?"
"Yes, it's been two months." Dong Lanxin looked back and smiled, "Are you happy?"
Xiao Yuan's eyes immediately showed some pain. Dong Lanxin continued, "The imperial physician said that I am two months pregnant."
"Congratulations...Your Majesty." The voice was almost faint in the dust.
Dong Lanxin slowly walked towards Xiao Yuan, step by step, and moved closer until they could feel each other's breath.
"Two months, think about it carefully. What happened then?" Dong Lanxin raised her head slightly and stared at Xiao Yuan's beautiful eyes.
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened and he took a step back in shock.
Dong Lanxin smiled even more happily, and continued to move forward, wrapping her arms around Xiao Yuan's waist, and whispered softly in his ear as if tickling him:
"Our child will be the future eldest grandson of the emperor, Xiao Yuan, are you happy?"
