Chapter 122 Fetal Movement
When her belly was five months old, Jiang Xinyue's belly had already bulged.
After the rumors about the evil concubine spread to Hexi Palace, Jiang Xinyue did not allow the palace maids and eunuchs to go out.
Every day, only Xiao Xuanzi and Jiang Chuan took turns to go to the Yushan Room, or Gao Zongguan of the Yushan Room personally delivered meals to Hexi Palace.
Apart from this, no other palace maids and eunuchs in Hexi Palace had ever left the palace.
People outside were guessing whether Zhenpin had a miscarriage because she was emotionally excited after hearing about herself being rumored to be a evil concubine who brought disaster to the country?
Queen Zhu wanted to take Concubine Liang to find out, but found that the gate of Hexi Palace had been replaced by the guards around the emperor at some point, and no one except the people of Hexi Palace was allowed to enter or leave.
It seems that something has really happened to Concubine Zhen.
Concubine Liang smiled triumphantly. The little palace maid she had bought a long time ago finally came in handy.
Concubine Zhen dared to sow discord between her and Concubine De. She thought that Concubine Zhen was innocent and kind, and a good person. She didn't expect that she was a traitor.
If Concubine De hadn't come to explain to her in person that she had no intention of competing with her, and that she was only irritated by Concubine Zhen's provocation and quarreled with her, and that the emperor's heart was now on Concubine Zhen, and that the two of them should not fight among themselves, but should guard against Concubine Zhen's profit, Concubine Liang would still ignore Concubine De!
She was angry that Zhenpin had easily created a gap between her and Defei. Although they had reconciled, the hurtful and harsh words she had said at that time could not be taken back.
Liangfei felt uncomfortable when facing Defei.
It was all Zhenpin's fault!
So she used her own spies to pass on the evil concubine's words that harmed the country to Zhenpin's ears.
Unexpectedly, the effect was so good that the emperor ordered the palace to be closed. Zhenpin's situation must be very urgent.
Jiang Xinyue sat on the warm couch in an emergency, holding up her white fox fur with one hand and lifting her small clothes with the other. She looked at the bulge on her belly with surprise: "Ye Lang, Ye Lang, Ye Lang... Here, the baby is here." The
five-month-old baby was already moving slightly, which opened the door to a new world for Jiang Xinyue and Emperor Xuanwu.
The emperor, who had unprecedented expectations for this child, immediately ordered the Hexi Palace to be sealed and no one was allowed to enter or leave after hearing that a palace maid had deliberately spread unpleasant words.
Except for those who Jiang Xinyue agreed to.
To create the illusion that she could not stand the stimulation and had a miscarriage, she stayed in the bedroom every day and never went out for a walk in the yard.
The smiles on Xi Que and Shuang Jiang's faces disappeared, and the atmosphere in Hexi Palace was more serious and depressing than ever before.
Seeing this, the gossiping palace maids were frightened like quails, and dared not to show up for their own good anymore.
Outside Jiang Xinyue's bedroom, Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang were guarding, and as far as the naked eye could see, apart from Xi Que, Shuang Jiang, Xiao Xuan Zi and Jiang Chuan, no one else was to be seen.
Oh, no, Imperial Physician Yan would come occasionally.
Imperial Physician Yan's daughter, Yan Xinyi, had been learning the art of childbirth from her father in the past few months, and her skills were already comparable to those of the palace's midwives.
When Imperial Physician Yan examined Jiang Xinyue's pulse, he would always bring her into the palace. She and the original Jiang Xinyue were good sisters, and now that her sister has become a favorite concubine in the deep palace, she is also honored. He
secretly promised Jiang Xinyue that he would use all his life's knowledge to make her as comfortable as possible during childbirth.
"He seems to have kicked me!"
Jiang Xinyue's belly bulged up and down, like a series of small hills.
The "small hills" moved very slowly, probably because they were still very small, so they didn't have much strength, and they were soft and sticky. Emperor Xuanwu put his hand on it, feeling the slow movement, and his cold heart suddenly softened.
His eyes were red, as if he was about to cry, but he still didn't cry, just like the redness at that moment was all Jiang Xinyue's illusion.
"I never knew that the baby in the belly would move so small."
When a concubine in the harem became pregnant, the Jingshifang would remove her green card. Only after she gave birth and finished her confinement would the green card be put back in the plate for him to flip.
There were so many concubines in the palace, and he could sleep with one a day for three months without repeating the same one.
Emperor Xuanwu would never wrong himself and go to the palace to stare at a pregnant concubine.
For example, when Concubine Liang and Concubine De were pregnant, the emperor only went there twice in ten months.
Once was when he learned that they were pregnant and went to have a meal with them, and the other time was when it was time for them to give birth.
He would also see them at banquets in the palace, but he would only look at them a few times. How could he feel whether the baby was moving?
Jiang Xinyue was the first one. He had accompanied and taken care of her from the time she became pregnant until now.
The queen had been pregnant twice, but he still valued the legitimate son more, so he went to Yikun Palace more often.
But he was mostly polite to the queen, and he never had such a relaxing time as in Hexi Palace.
Jiang Xinyue's small hand rested on Emperor Xuanwu's big hand, with an expectant yet anxious smile on her face: "I heard from Nanny Li that the older the child is, the stronger he will be. When he is six or seven months old, he will kick my belly and hurt it. Your Majesty, I am a little scared."
The emperor pulled his hand away and held her back: "For the sake of our child, I have made all the necessary preparations. Moreover, Imperial Physician Yan also said that my beloved concubine's pregnancy has been very smooth, and the size of the child is just right. There are no factors that are unfavorable to my beloved concubine. If even my beloved concubine cannot give birth safely, then I really don't know who else can."
He knew that although Concubine Zhen said she was afraid of the baby's fetal movement, she was actually... She was still frightened by the scene of Concubine Shu's premature birth, so he comforted her: "Besides, there are Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang. If my beloved concubine is really worried, I will bring your mother to the palace when she is about to give birth, okay?"
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy for me."
The emperor smiled and hugged her in his arms: "Silly girl, why thank me? You have suffered a lot for me to carry this child. This is what I should do."
His child, Xiaoliu, was born with the expectations and joy of his parents. He saw Concubine Zhen crying with joy, just because this child was his own child, without any other reason.
Unlike him... He was born with a heavy shackle and never enjoyed a moment of maternal and paternal love.
As soon as his little six is born, he will give him the best of everything. He will give his little six everything he has never had.
Little six: I am already at the peak of my life before I was born. Thank you for the invitation. I plan to live a good life.
Night——
A series of harmonious sounds of life came from the cold palace.
"What do you think about what I asked you to do for me?"
"This is a capital crime. What kind of hatred do you have with Concubine Zhen?"
The woman pushed the strong man away and put on her clothes, avoiding his next words. She smiled charmingly: "Don't you think what you are doing now is not a capital crime?"
Cuckolding the emperor is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
