Chapter 150: Openly Robbed
After finishing their meal, Xiao Jingheng and Concubine Chen walked hand in hand in the courtyard for a while.
Feeling a little tired, he returned to the bedroom with Concubine Chen.
In front of the dressing mirror, Xiao Jingheng personally took off the hairpin for Concubine Chen.
The soft black hair of the concubine brushed across his fingertips.
He looked at the Princess's reflection in the mirror, and there was always a hint of worry in her bright eyes, so he asked:
"I have been unhappy with you these days. Is it because the concubines have been pregnant one after another that you are saddened by this?"
"I don't have any..."
"There is no need to hide anything between me and Wan'er."
Upon hearing this, the Concubine Chen's eyes froze and her heart was moved.
It had been a long time since she heard Xiao Jingheng call her "Wan'er".
When she heard Jamel Xiao call her like this again today, she seemed to be instantly back to the time when they were deeply in love with each other.
"Even if I am unhappy, it is not because I am jealous of others. I only blame myself for not being able to conceive the emperor's child for so long..."
"You and I are still young, and we will have children eventually." Xiao Jingheng said as he helped her untie her hair, "But I can't bear to see you always in a depressed mood. So I decided that when Concubine Xiao gives birth to an heir, whether it's a prince or a princess, you will raise them."
The Concubine Chen's pupils suddenly dilated, and she was obviously extremely surprised.
She turned her head suddenly, and her black hair was hurt by Xiao Jingheng's fingers, which were pulled in time, but she was completely unaware of it.
"Raised in my care?" There was a gleam of disbelief in her eyes and she kept blinking hard, as if to make sure that all this was not an illusion.
Xiao Jingheng smiled and said, "Why? You don't want to?"
"Yes! Of course I am willing! But...I thought the Emperor would let the child be raised by the Empress."
Concubine Xiao and the Queen were pregnant at the same time. If Concubine Xiao gave birth to a boy, it would be very likely to be a precious son.
If a noble child can be raised by her, then the adoptive mother of the noble child will naturally also be of noble status.
By then, even if the queen gave birth to a legitimate son at the risk of her life, what would happen? [Add WeChat YWY4087 for more free resources]
She still has the capital to compete with the Queen.
Besides, the queen herself has a heart disease.
Even if she forbade Concubine Yun to use the shady perfume powder, hanging around in front of the Queen every day would only aggravate her heart disease symptoms.
This woman would have to walk through the gates of hell when giving birth, and the queen would also likely have an accident during childbirth.
If the queen died, then wouldn't the position of queen be within her grasp?
to be honest,
The Concubine Chen actually didn't care that much about the position of Queen.
The one she cared about was always Jamel Xiao.
What she was obsessed with was always the identity of a legitimate wife.
An identity that allows him to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jamel Xiao with integrity.
If you really like a man,
How many women in this world are willing to be someone's concubine?
Facing the question from Concubine Chen just now, Xiao Jingheng answered very casually.
"The queen will have her own children. And she is suffering from heart disease. It is inevitable that two children will make trouble with her, and she will not be able to rest well."
The Concubine Chen immediately said, "Your Majesty is right. The health of the Empress is more important than anything else. If so, I would also like to have a child to keep by my side. When the time comes, when the Emperor and I have our own child, we will be able to raise it more easily."
Xiao Jingheng stared at Concubine Chen closely, looking at the bright smile on her face.
For a moment, he seemed to see the scene in the past when he bestowed the word "Chen" as her title.
The Concubine Chen also smiled like this at that time.
Xiao Jingheng didn't say anything else.
He just said calmly: "It's late, go to sleep."

The next day, when all the concubines went to pay their respects to the Queen, the Queen heard that Xiao Jingheng had stayed in the Chen Fei Palace last night, leaving Song Zhao alone on such a happy day, so she comforted Song Zhao and said,
"The Emperor shouldn't have asked you to stay alone in the empty room yesterday. But there are reasons for this. I believe that you, Concubine Yi, can understand the Emperor's difficulties."
When she said this at this time, on the surface it sounded like she was concerned about Song Zhao, but in fact she wanted to expose the matter in front of everyone and make Song Zhao lose face so that she would hate Concubine Chen even more.
Song Zhao saw through her thoughts and simply continued to act with her.
She pretended to be unhappy and replied in a perfunctory manner.
"I don't mind this. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he can go wherever he wants."
Listen,
The jealousy in these words almost overflowed.
The queen also nodded with a hidden smile.
Later, when everyone was talking, there was suddenly a loud noise outside the door.
It turned out that it was Concubine Chen who brought many servants with her. They ignored the obstruction of Shuang Ruo and the others and broke into the palace directly.
When concubines came to pay their respects to the empress, no other palace servants were allowed to follow except the personal servants.
However, Concubine Chen walked in openly with a dozen palace maids and eunuchs. She did not even ask for the Queen's permission, but went straight to Concubine Xiao.
Seeing her stroking her hair, she said lazily:
"The Zhaochun Palace has been cleaned up, and I have had your things moved to the Yonghe Palace. From today on, you will live with me in the east wing of the Yonghe Palace."
Concubine Xiao was so frightened by this scene that she was dumbfounded.
"What does Empress Chen mean?"
The Concubine Chen said, "From now until the day you give birth, I will protect you until you safely give birth to a royal heir. Qiulan, take Concubine Xiao back to the palace."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Concubine Xiao was so frightened that she shouted to the Queen:
"This... Her Majesty the Queen!?"
'Pop'
The Queen angrily slammed the table, raised her power as the Empress, pointed at the Concubine Chen and angrily said:
"Empress Chen! What are you doing? I am the only one who has the power to arrange the palaces of the concubines. What do you mean by snatching Concubine Xiao to your palace?"
"Ha~" Concubine Chen sneered, turned her head back and glanced at the Queen with disdain.
"The Emperor intends to raise the heir in Concubine Xiao's belly under my lap in the future. As the child's adoptive mother, I must ensure that the heir is safe and not let him be harmed by others!"
When Concubine Chen said the word "harmed", she emphasized it very much, which made it clear that she was speaking to the Queen.
When the Queen heard what Concubine Chen said, she was also shocked.
But she still suppressed her confusion and said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance. I can't let you take Concubine Xiao back to your palace just because of your words? You..."
"Why is the Queen so anxious?" The Concubine Chen was probably tired of listening and was too lazy to talk to the Queen. She interrupted her and said with a sneer:
"The imperial edict will be delivered later, just wait patiently."
After saying this, he glared at the palace maid standing next to Concubine Xiao, and said in an increasingly wanton manner:
"Are you still standing here? Take your people away!"
