Chapter 35 Your Majesty, do you like it?
For several days.
The emperor went to see Wen Chuyun every night.
In fact, he went to Xueqiong Garden.
Such great favor made all the concubines in the palace jealous.
Especially Concubine Rong, the porcelain in the palace was replaced one after another. All who could fall, no one was left behind.
October 15th.
Zhang Chengyan came to Yongshou Palace as usual.
The queen mother looked unhappy and got straight to business. "Emperor, it has been almost two months since you favored Concubine Wen. I asked the imperial physician to come yesterday, but there was still no sign of pregnancy. It looks like she is useless. It will be next month in half a month. Otherwise, let's switch to Concubine Li. Although her family doesn't have as many children as the Wen family, she looks like a promising one."
Zhang Chengyan nodded calmly and picked up the newly served hot tea, "As the Queen Mother wishes."
The Queen Mother saw that he was not sincere and did not take it to heart. She could only persuade him earnestly, "I know that your Majesty is now focusing on Southern Xinjiang. But now that we have Jin Zhi, he can calm down those Southern Xinjiang barbarians. Why should you worry too much? The most urgent thing is your offspring!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. "Now you are already in your twenties, but you still don't have a prince. Even if you have a princess, it will be fine. It will not only stop the gossips of the world, but also make those ministers report less. Seeing them urging you, I feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Chengyan felt uncomfortable seeing her like this. He also wanted to have an heir soon...
The Queen Mother grabbed his hand and said, "Emperor, please go and favor Concubine Li today. I know you don't want to. As long as you have a child, I promise not to urge you anymore. The main thing is that the country of Darong cannot be without an heir!"
She said it with such sincerity that she was almost begging.
Zhang Chengyan thought back on these days and realized that he had indeed acted a little foolishly.
He knocks Miss Wen unconscious every day just to hang out with Bai Wutong.
It’s not her fault that she didn’t get pregnant. How could she get pregnant if I wasn’t even in her bed?
For the sake of his offspring, he should not look for Bai Wutong now.
"Mother, I will obey you."
The Queen Mother's eyes were red, and she nodded heavily, "Emperor, I don't want to see you suffer so much, but there is really no other way. After the royal heir is born, everything will be fine."
After leaving Yongshou Palace, Zhang Chengyan fell into deep thought, "Wang Decai, do you also think that I have been acting a little crazy recently?"
Wang Decai dared not tell the truth, "The emperor is the supreme ruler, whatever he does is right."
"I order you to tell the truth. If you dare not do so, I will chop off your head right now!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Wang Decai knelt on the ground with a plop. "To be honest, if Your Majesty wants an heir, he really can't go to Lady Bai every day..."
"You are right. Lady Bai is too thin. Even if I like her, she cannot conceive an heir. It would be a waste of time to go there." Zhang Chengyan stroked the jade ring. "Forget it. From today on, I will not go to Xueqiong Garden. Wang Decai, if I have such thoughts again, you remind me in time."
Wang Decai secretly complained in his heart. When the time came, he would not dare to say anything...
After the two left.
Deep in the grass, Bai Wutong slowly stood up, still holding Fubao in his arms.
She came to Yongshou Palace today to copy Buddhist scriptures, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.
She stroked Fu Bao's fluffy and soft fur, "It seems that the emperor still doesn't like me enough. If he really liked me, he wouldn't care about the heir to the throne and would only want me. But it's good this way. If you eat good food all day, you will eventually have to eat something bad. Only then will you understand who is good and who is bad more deeply."
She turned around and entered Yongshou Palace from another road.
Another night.
Following the Queen Mother's instructions, Zhang Chengyan turned over Lady Li's name card.
He had met this Lady Li once before, but had not favored her because she was too fat, only slightly thinner than Gao Jingwan.
A group of six eunuchs entered the Jinshen Palace and carefully placed Concubine Li on the dragon bed.
Lady Li's face was full of shyness. When she saw Zhang Chengyan approaching, she immediately showed the expression that she thought was the most beautiful.
It’s just that his face was too fat. When he was lying down, there was flesh on both sides. His whole head was like an open pancake, especially since the quilt was pushed up to his chin, making it look more like a huge ball of flesh.
The corner of Zhang Chengyan's mouth twitched, and he comforted himself, "Never mind, it will be the same after turning off the lights. Now the most important thing is to have offspring."
Once he has a prince, he will no longer favor these fat women.
"emperor--"
Zhang Chengyan didn't say anything. He pulled back the quilt, and circles of fat came into view. A rich aroma and the stench of sweat hit him in the face.
Seeing him staring at her without blinking, Lady Li thought he liked it, so she shook her head and asked, "Your Majesty, do you like it?"
Zhang Chengyan had a cold face and suddenly covered himself with the quilt. No, if he continued watching, he would be too disgusted to do anything.
"emperor?"
"Don't talk. I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with. Please wait here for me."
Zhang Chengyan quickly walked to the outer room, sat on the couch, and tried to convince himself.
The royal heir is the most important thing, so be patient this time!
But when he thought of the touch of the fat and the pungent smell, he just couldn't do it.
"Wang Decai, what do you think I should do?"
He had to put the royal heir first and favor the concubines in the harem, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it to Concubine Li! Zhang Chengyan felt sick just by looking at her.
Wang Decai handed over the tea and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do."
"Get out, trash!"
"Yes!" Wang Decai slipped away quickly.
Zhang Chengyan stood up and went to the dragon bed for the second time.
But when he saw it again, he still couldn't do it.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Li was confused.
"It's okay. I haven't finished my work yet. If you can't wait any longer, go to sleep first."
"I am not sleepy. I am waiting for the emperor."
Zhang Chengyan couldn't face her, so he could only go back to the outer room, "Wang Decai, go get the Yellow Millet Dream. I will have two days to get used to it."
He planned to replace all the palace maids serving him with ones as fat as Concubine Li starting tomorrow.
Maybe after seeing it more, I will get used to it...
A white shadow flashed past the Jinshen Palace, quickly arrived at Xueqiong Garden, and jumped into the window lightly.
"Fubao, you're here." Bai Wutong hugged it, "Did the emperor favor Lady Li?"
Fubao shook his head in a very humane way.
Bai Wutong couldn't stop laughing, "It seems that there isn't any, but that's true. After eating all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, how can you like porridge and side dishes? If it was really porridge and side dishes, it would be fine, but it had to be a big piece of fat meat, and even the soup was filled with oil and water that you couldn't see the bottom of."
She picked up Fubao and said, "Oh, by the way, I remember there is a dish in the palace that the Queen Mother loves very much. You need to cut the meat from the cheeks of the pig when it is freshest. Only in this way can the flavor be preserved when cooking. Tomorrow I have to think of a way to make this pig run away, preferably to the Emperor..."
