Chapter 102 They Are All Gambling
Bai Wutong turned around and put Zhuang Ting's matter behind him without any fear. The other party has many spies in the palace, so he has to be able to get close to her.
Now she has the emperor and Jin Zhi's men by her side, and all the food sent in is checked by female doctors, so there is no need to worry too much.
She is now fully focused on improving her relationship with the Emperor.
Bai Wutong touched her belly and said, "It's harder to carry twins. It's only been five months, but it looks like others are six or seven months pregnant."
Chan'er squatted down, took out the flower oil, and gently massaged her belly to prevent stretch marks. "Your Highness has suffered so much, and good times will surely come. When the time comes, you will definitely give birth to two big fat boys."
Bai Wutong glanced out the window. That was where the secret guard appeared last time. She thought he should still be hiding there. She raised her voice slightly and said, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
Chan'er is much smarter now than before. She understood what he meant with just a glance and a gesture, and she also said loudly, "Madam, why don't we ask Imperial Doctor Ji to take a look? I heard that it usually takes five months to know whether it's a boy or a girl."
"Not yet. When the emperor comes, I'll ask him whether he wants to ask Doctor Ji to come. For such an important matter, it's better for the emperor to be present."
The massage is over.
Chan'er washed her hands and massaged her legs and feet.
It was just after lunch.
Zhang Chengyan arrived, followed by Doctor Ji.
"Your Majesty, you are here!" Bai Wutong greeted him with surprise.
Zhang Chengyan held her hand and said, "Didn't I tell you that you are not in good health right now, so you don't have to perform the formalities? I will ask Doctor Ji to see you today and prescribe some prescriptions to nourish your body."
Bai Wutong raised her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, like a clear spring, "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me."
She held out her hand. "Then I'll trouble Doctor Ji. By the way, we should be able to tell whether it's a boy or a girl in five months, right?"
Doctor Ji bowed and said, "Your Highness, I can tell."
"Your Majesty, can you let Doctor Ji see if it's a prince or a princess? I'm really curious."
Zhang Chengyan came here today just for this matter, but he didn't show it at all. "It doesn't matter if it's a prince or a princess."
Doctor Ji took out a handkerchief, placed it on Bai Wutong's wrist, and diagnosed him carefully.
After a long while, he raised his head and said, "Congratulations, His Majesty, both of your twins are princes."
Bai Wutong covered her mouth and couldn't help hugging Zhang Chengyan's strong waist, "Your Majesty, that's great, they are all princes! Although I also like princesses, but for Your Majesty, I still selfishly want a prince."
The princess cannot inherit the throne, so the prince is what Zhang Chengyan wants most, and what the entire Darong Kingdom needs most now!
Zhang Chengyan felt much better after hearing this.
As long as the child is his, the two princes can completely solve the current problem.
By then, no one, whether from the previous dynasty or among the people, would criticize him for being childless.
Bai Wutong immediately ordered someone to get the reward and brought up the previous matter again, reminding the emperor how they had been looking forward to this child together.
"Thank you, Doctor Ji. It is said that when a child is still in the womb, he can hear the noises outside, which will affect his future growth. If Your Majesty talks to the child more now, will the child be smarter when he is born?"
Doctor Ji bowed his head, "This is natural. The ancients said: In ancient times, when a woman was pregnant, she would not sleep on her side, sit on the edge, stand on her knees, sit on the right mat, look at evil things, listen to obscene sounds, and recite poems and talk about serious matters at night. If she did this, she would give birth to a child with a handsome appearance and extraordinary talent and virtue!"
Bai Wutong continued to ask, "I read in a book before that when you are pregnant, you must be careful about your feelings. If you feel good, then you will feel good; if you feel evil, then you will feel evil. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's true. I hope that Your Majesty can stay in a good mood, read more poetry and songs, and give birth to a child who is more intelligent."
Bai Wutong happily held Zhang Chengyan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I read to him every day, but I am a woman after all, and I don't understand those great principles."
Her eyes were filled with love for the children, and she was as gentle as water. "Your Majesty, I hope you can come and talk to the children from time to time, so that when they are born, they can have extraordinary talents like your Majesty."
She seemed to have thought of something, her eyes turned red, and she explained in a panic, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of competing for your favor, it's just..."
"You don't have to explain, I know." Zhang Chengyan looked at her frightened little eyes and felt inexplicably fond of her.
None of the other concubines were so lively and vivid; each of them had either calculation or charm in their eyes.
"I will come here often in the future to talk to them."
Having achieved her goal, Bai Wutong smiled even more brightly, half leaning on Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. I will definitely work hard to give birth to them safely."
Doctor Ji looked at the warm atmosphere between the two and retreated quietly.
A few days later.
Zhang Chengyan never turned over the name card again. He would go to Zhaochun Palace every day to talk to his unborn child or recite poems.
When the concubines in the harem learned about this, they were extremely jealous but there was nothing they could do.
Who made Bai Wutong pregnant with the only gold nugget?
Yaoguang Palace.
Jin Weige stared at the teacup in front of her in a daze.
How long has it been since the emperor came to see her?
Two months?
In short, there are so many days that I can hardly count them.
This has never happened before...
But who can she blame?
Do you blame Jin Zhi? That was her brother. They had the same blood flowing in their bodies. They would prosper and suffer together.
The only person she could blame was Bai Wutong, but she could only hope that the child Bai Wutong gave birth to was really the emperor's child, otherwise... disaster would befall her!
Xiyue was heartbroken, "My queen, don't worry too much, it will get better."
Just then, a notification came from outside.
"My lady, Lady Zhuang is here."
Zhuang Ting?
What is she here for?
Jin Weige thought for a moment and let the person in.
Zhuang Ting came here fully prepared and brought several valuable gifts.
It has been nearly half a year since she entered the palace, and she hasn't even had a chance to sleep with the emperor. She can't wait any longer.
Since Zhaobin is unwilling to help her, let's find someone else.
She finally understood that if she had no backing and no one to help her, she could only follow the rules and wait for her turn to sleep with the emperor, but she didn't know which number she would be in.
What if the emperor loses interest halfway and starts favoring the imperial concubine or consort Zhao?
The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.
"I pay my respects to Concubine Jin."
Jin Weige waved her hand impatiently, "Get up, I don't remember having any dealings with you, if you have anything to say, just tell me, don't waste my time."
Zhuang Ting smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to give you a gift today."
The palace maid next to her presented an extremely delicate rosewood box with both hands.
Jin Weige became interested, "Xiyue, open it."
There was a small lock on the wooden box, but it was not locked.
As the lid opens, the contents are revealed.
It turned out to be an excellent piece of warm jade.
Zhuang Ting bowed again and said, "Madam, this warm jade comes from the West. It is said that wearing it for a long time can nourish the body and mind. It is extremely beneficial for women and can also help with pregnancy."
Jin Weige picked up a piece. It was indeed warm to the touch, with a bit of heat coming out of it. It was really magical. "It's a good thing, but if you don't tell me what you want to do with it, I dare not accept it."
"Your Majesty, could you please dismiss the outsiders? I want to talk to you alone."
Jin Weige gave a look and Xiyue drove most of the people out.
As the palace door closed again, Zhuang Ting finally stopped hiding her secrets and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to abort the child in Concubine Zhao's belly. I don't ask for anything else, but only for Your Majesty to say a few good words for me in front of the Emperor. If I still cannot gain His Majesty's favor, then I'll trouble Your Majesty to protect me in the future."
Jin Weige snorted and threw the warm jade back into the box. "You are really ambitious. You want me to protect you by relying on this warm jade that you don't even know if it will be useful."
Zhuang Ting raised her eyes, "Your Highness, don't you want to lose Concubine Zhao's child? If it's not the Emperor's, it will be troublesome. I just want to find a backer, I don't have any other thoughts. As for this matter, I can do it alone, and I guarantee that Your Highness will not be implicated."
As long as the child is not the emperor's.
No matter whether it belongs to Jin Zhi or not, in the end it can only be Jin Zhi's.
Only Zhaopin and Jinzhi knew the inside story of this matter, and the rest of the people were gambling.
The emperor is gambling, and Concubine Jin is also gambling.
Zhuang Ting is also gambling now, betting that Concubine Jin is not sure whether the child in Concubine Zhao's belly is Jin Zhi's.
As long as she is not sure, she will definitely agree to my proposal.
Jin Weige suddenly laughed out loud, "Okay, I really didn't expect that you, who are silent, are actually ruthless. You didn't even try to curry favor with me, but instead wanted to kill the heir to the throne. Okay, if you can really do it, what can I do if I protect you!"
