Chapter 126
Qi Yixiu knew that she was not a promiscuous person, so he asked with a smile: "Oh? My beloved concubine, what good news is there? Tell me about it."
Qi Yixiu couldn't help but glance at her belly. Could it be that she was pregnant? If so, that would be a good thing.
But isn't it too confident to say it so hastily? "Miss Li, if you want to keep it a secret, I can't keep it a secret. Sister will speak for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Meiren's expression changed, and then she instantly became embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, Lady Li is more than two months pregnant."
When these words came out, the women in the harem were all stunned. It was the Queen who asked, "Is it true?"
How can this be concealed? Once it is said, it cannot be denied.
Lady Li cursed Shen Chuliu to death in her heart, but could only say shyly: "I'm not sure, Sister Jing is too anxious."
"Oh? Then let's call the imperial physician to see him now." Qi Yixiu said, glancing at Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu pretended not to see it.
Qi Yixiu shook his head in his heart. Sure enough, she was not stupid. Was she asking Concubine Li to step out and take responsibility because there had been changes in the palace?
Tsk, sneaky thing.
For this kind of banquet, the imperial physician would have been waiting long in case something went wrong, so Lady Li quickly went to the back to check the patient's pulse.
Soon, Doctor Zhang came out and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Lady Li has been pregnant for more than two months. The fetus is stable and the mother is in good health."
"Okay!" Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Reward Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang thanked the emperor and thought this was unexpected wealth.
As for Shen Chuliu, he had already retired and sat down.
"Pass on my decree, Concubine Li is pregnant, and she will be promoted to Concubine Jieyu! Reward Concubine Li." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
The Queen took the lead and congratulated the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Since the emperor had bestowed such a reward, the two empress dowagers and the empress were naturally generous.
The royal family and ministers had to offer congratulations.
The people in the Duke of Qi's Mansion were even more delighted, and it was a pleasure to just stare at them.
Li Jieyu was naturally happy about her promotion, and she could not care about Shen Chuliu for the time being.
The women in the harem now looked at her as if she were some important person.
Concubine Yi felt bitter and had a stomachache for a while, but she remained calm.
She is pregnant, so she can only wait and endure. But if Concubine Li is pregnant, she can be promoted immediately...
No one else was really happy. Concubine Li was already favored, and now that she was pregnant, she was afraid that once the child was born she would be one of the nine concubines.
It's only been the second year since I entered the palace, this is too fast.
The one who gained the most today was naturally Concubine Li. Because of this, even the Duke of Qi’s Mansion received a lot of rewards.
After the evening banquet was over, Qi Yixiu even asked someone to send Li Jieyu back home.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu removed her makeup and ate wontons.
"Master, Concubine Li is in this state now, should we be on guard?" Zi Rui asked.
"A concubine is not much taller than a beauty, so don't worry too much. I'm sleepy too, so let's go to bed early." Shen Chuliu yawned.
Zi Rui served her some wontons and then went to bed.
In Fengzao Palace, the queen couldn't sleep for a while.
Emei and Peilan accompanied her in the conversation.
"Is it that Lady Jing is plotting against Concubine Li today? These two won't be able to get along well this time." Peilan said.
"Shen Chuliu is willing to leave." The queen said casually.
"Your Majesty? I don't understand what you mean." Peilan said.
"Well, she chose to push Li Jieyu out today because she thought Li Jieyu would be promoted. She is not afraid that Li Jieyu has a higher status than her, so she is willing to let her go." The queen explained.
"But why? They have similar family backgrounds, but they are unwilling to fight?" Peilan was still puzzled.
"It's not the right time. Lady Jing is wise enough to protect herself, and Concubine Li also knows that she cannot go against Lady Jing." said the Queen.
"You know how important the Duke of Qi is to the Wu family. Qi is the surname of the Great Yi country. This word was given to the Duke of Qi's mansion, which shows how prominent they were in the past. Now, their descendants are not good, so what is their intention in marrying into the Feng family?"
"The emperor cannot touch the Feng family for now, but one day he will. How about the Duke of Qi's Mansion, which is married to the Feng family?"
"It's not that Concubine Li can't fight against Concubine Jing, but she can't do it for the time being. Because if she wants to stand firm, she must be at odds with Concubine Feng. Otherwise, the emperor will only despise a woman who cares about her family."
"Now, Concubine Jing has promoted Concubine Li, and Concubine Li is currently the most powerful person in the palace," said Emei.
"Sooner or later, the harem will have to depend on these few people." The queen smiled.
Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, it felt like I was really seeing something.
"Madam, you mean..."
"I mean, these concubines are not simple. Including Su Yunu. Concubine Yi, you can't control her. Sooner or later, she will suffer." The queen waved her hand: "Forget it, it's late, go to bed."
No noble man can remain noble forever; he will either become lonely or destroyed.
This is the third generation of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Starting from this generation, the title should be demoted.
Who wants to be a marquis when they are used to being a duke? But in a peaceful and prosperous era, unless you have the talent to save the world, how can you climb up? Concubine Yi had abdominal pain when she returned, but today is a good day, so it is not appropriate to call the imperial physician.
I could only bear it, drank some hot water and went to sleep.
I couldn't bear it any longer in the morning, so I called Doctor Mi.
Doctor Mi took the pulse and said, "Your Majesty is angry. Your body is in such poor condition that you must not let your emotions get out of control."
As he spoke, he prescribed her a calming medicine and changed a few words on the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
After sending Doctor Mi away, Concubine Yi spoke after a while: "From now on, there is no need to give Su the contraceptive soup."
"Master!" Huashan was shocked.
"I can't keep this pregnancy. I'm counting on her to give birth." Concubine Yi smiled bitterly.
It's your own child, carried in your belly, you know it best.
Not to mention six or seven months, even four months would be difficult.
If Su Yunu can get pregnant by then, she hopes that the emperor will allow her to raise a child in consideration of her crime.
The child has become her obsession.
Hua Shan opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
The master knew it, so how could Hua Shan, who served him personally, not know it? Well, it was better if he couldn't save the child, lest the master be in trouble for saving the child.
After all, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be a future.
Su Yu-nu in the side hall didn't know about this, nor did she care about it.
So you wouldn't know that there is someone in the same palace who is sleepless all night.
From the next day, Concubine Yi felt even worse. She hadn't slept all night, so how could she have the energy to do anything?
Naturally, it was not a good idea to go and pay respects, so Su Yu went by herself.
[Some people say that the heroine can't compare to Li Meiren, well... at this stage, she can't compare, but I have to say that Qi Yixiu never pampers people purely. If he pampers them purely, then this person will soon fall out of favor. Well, after all, this is a palace fighting novel, don't compare it with the previous pampering novels. It can also be regarded as my attempt at a new genre. Love you. ]
