Chapter 131 Qian Yueshu Becomes the Group's Darling!
He heard Qian Yueshu telling him to go sleep alone.
Xiao Qingxuan pursed his lips, his eyes revealing undisguised panic.
"Moon".
His voice carried a barely perceptible plea as he stepped forward to tug at Qian Yueshu's sleeve, but she subtly avoided him. "Don't drive me away. I... I really can't sleep without you by my side."
She raised an eyebrow, a faint, cold smile curving her lips: "Heh! Now you're saying I don't know how to restrain myself?"
"It's all my fault!" Xiao Qingxuan coaxed with a smile, "I misspoke, I was a scoundrel! Yue'er, you can punish me however you want, just please don't upset yourself, you are now..."
His gaze fell on her still flat stomach.
Their legitimate child was being conceived there, the imperial heir whom both the emperor and empress had long awaited.
Qian Yueshu's expression remained cold and unyielding.
Xiao Qingxuan made a firm decision.
He knew that without showing some real sincerity, he would likely find it difficult to get through tonight's ordeal.
then.
Xiao Qingxuan took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said in a manner as if sharing a secret, "I know that you have always been concerned about your brother's career. Although he is talented, his position is not high. Today... I have used my power to issue a transfer order, promoting him to the position of Junior Magistrate of the Capital Prefecture, a fifth-rank official."
The Jingzhao Prefecture was in charge of the administration of the capital.
The position of Shao Yin was the deputy to the prefect, a high-ranking and powerful position that could only be held by a close confidant of the emperor.
From the seventh rank to the fifth rank, this was not just a promotion of several ranks, but a step from a marginal, idle position into the core power circle of the Dayong Dynasty.
This "apology gift" is undeniably substantial.
Compared to others.
Her own brother was the beginning of her power!
Qian Yueshu's eyes flickered slightly, a complex emotion passing through the depths of her gaze.
She really liked the gift.
So it's not that his jokes are unforgivable!
The Crown Prince's residence.
Qian Yueshu became pregnant.
The rewards really came in waves.
First, the Empress bestowed many rewards upon him.
Although the Empress disliked Qian Yueshu.
But that doesn't stop her from liking her grandson.
This is probably what they call the special affection between grandparents and grandchildren!
Upon hearing that she was pregnant...
The procession of bestowing gifts was so grand that it almost filled the main hall of the Eastern Palace.
The leading female official smiled broadly and spoke with utmost respect: "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Empress was overjoyed upon hearing the good news. She immediately opened her private treasury and selected some treasures for Your Highness to enjoy and use."
The list of rewards was displayed.
A pair of top-quality coral trees presented as tribute from the East China Sea.
Two warm jade ruyi scepters.
Twenty bolts of Yun brocade from Jiangnan were presented as tribute, their colors shimmering and dazzling.
There are also several sets of headpieces with various colored gemstones.
One of the headdresses, inlaid with kingfisher feathers and rubies, was particularly magnificent and exquisite. The phoenix, holding a pearl in its beak, seemed poised to take flight, clearly crafted specifically for the rank of the Crown Princess.
Besides these rare treasures, there were also real health supplements.
Ancient ginseng, snow lotus, bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin... the dazzling array of items is enough to show the Empress's high regard and expectations for her daughter-in-law and future grandson.
Qian Yueshu benefited from the baby in her belly.
"Her Majesty specifically instructed..." The nanny lowered her voice and said to the capable maid beside Qian Yueshu, "The Crown Princess's health is precious, and everything should be done with the imperial heir as the priority. If any ignorant person offends her, just take them down. Her Majesty has her own plan."
His words were full of protection and support.
Even at this moment.
In the Empress's eyes, even the Crown Prince was not as important as Qian Yueshu.
Qian Yueshu accepted the reward, expressed her gratitude, and felt deeply for her mother-in-law's kindness.
The Empress's gifts had just been counted and put into storage.
The emperor's reward followed shortly afterward.
Unlike the Empress's rewards, which were full of feminine care and family expectations, the Emperor's rewards showed more imperial majesty and political considerations.
The chief eunuch personally came and read out the emperor's decree.
It was simply a reward for the Crown Princess's virtue and her contribution to the continuation of the royal line, and thus she was bestowed with many special favors.
Apart from some imperial gifts.
Most importantly, Madam Qian was granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady!
This not only elevated Madam Qian's status but also indirectly enhanced the Qian family's standing.
also.
The emperor also specially bestowed two imperial physicians who were proficient in gynecology upon the Crown Prince's residence, who were stationed there to take care of the Crown Princess during her pregnancy and in matters related to childbirth.
Qian Yueshu knelt to receive the imperial edict, her mind clear as a mirror.
The emperor's reward was a further affirmation of the crown prince's status and also a testament to the immense importance he placed on the child in her womb.
The emperor and empress both expressed their opinions.
The astute concubines of the imperial harem...
Regardless of what you think inside, you must put on a good show on the surface.
In the following days.
The area in front of the Crown Prince's residence was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of eunuchs and palace maids sent by the various palace masters.
Even Consort Yan, who was at odds with the Empress, sent a congratulatory gift.
Qian Yueshu sat upright in the seat of honor, with a polite smile on her face. She ordered someone to accept the reward, gave a generous tip, and then politely saw the person off.
After seeing off wave after wave of guests.
She patted her belly with a hint of pride and said, "Son, you're really living a glorious life this time!"
It's true that vying for the position of Crown Princess is effective!
In her previous life, she entered the Eastern Palace as a concubine and became pregnant before the Crown Princess entered the palace.
Not to mention the various rewards.
Most people wanted her to abort the child...
But in this life, she became the darling of the group because of her pregnancy!
The people in the palace have expressed their opinion.
People from outside the area also started giving gifts.
For example, the Lin family mansion, the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion, and the Xie family mansion...
In short, every day when Qian Yueshu opened her eyes, all sorts of gifts were delivered to her door.
Even the servants in the Crown Prince's residence walked with a brisk pace, serving him with even greater care and attention, for fear of making a mistake at this crucial moment.
Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan cherished Qian Yueshu like a treasure.
They treated it so delicately, almost to the point of being afraid it would melt in their mouths or break in their hands.
He also issued a strict order.
Everything in the Crown Prince's residence revolves around the Crown Princess.
Her daily life was managed by trusted confidants, who checked her over the top, leaving no room for error.
In the stillness of the night.
Xiao Qingxuan embraced Qian Yueshu, his large hand carefully covering her lower abdomen, feeling the life growing within her: "Yue'er, look, everyone is looking forward to our child."
yes!
Her son was finally born, much to everyone's delight!
Everything she did was worth it!
All the grievances she had suffered were rewarded at this moment.
She will climb even higher in the future.
Don't be fooled by how well the Crown Prince treats her now; who knows what will happen in the future?
Therefore, Qian Yueshu was constantly cultivating his own personnel and officials.
The people she mentored.
He is loyal only to Qian Yueshu and the Qian family!
Even if the Crown Prince no longer loves her, or falls in love with another woman in the future.
Qian Yueshu also realized that she had the right to fight against the Crown Prince...
It has to be said.
Qian Yueshu has always been a woman who can get what she wants.
Always leave yourself a way out.
They were even willing to compete with the Crown Prince for her!
