Chapter 332 Concubine Xi is pregnant
Xuanyuan Ling went to see Chen Qing, but she immediately asked someone to help her take a bath. She looked very disgusted, which made him laugh angrily. She didn't dislike him when she flirted with him just now, but now she did.
But he didn't say anything. He called for water, and after a while they both washed. After all the fuss, he didn't want to bother writing anything, but he didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he held her in bed for a while. After a while, he heard Shen Qing's even breathing. He lowered his head to look at her sleeping face and stared at it for a long time.
He had been holding it in for a long time, and it had never happened before, but after all, it was not like he had nothing to do and just thought about this all day long. It was just that he had a beautiful woman in his arms, and they had been too harmonious before, so he couldn't suppress it. He was also a little irritated in his heart, and sometimes he didn't come because he was afraid that he couldn't help himself. But after what happened today, he felt much better now, despite the complicated feelings he had before.
Although he was happy about Shen Qing's pregnancy, there was no change in Shen Qing. He strangely felt that he should take a step further. He couldn't say how to take it further. This feeling was very strange.
It was like that, she was pregnant, and was taking good care of the baby. Actually, he should be happy, but he felt that she knew how to act too well. Obviously, he always liked her to know how to act properly, but gradually, he became a little annoyed.
This irritability was not only because of physical dissatisfaction, but also because Chen Qing was good enough, but he always felt that something was missing in his heart. Today, she could say that she felt sorry for him, but he had actually lost his mind a long time ago, otherwise how could he let her do what she wanted? He felt that it was not right, but also felt very comfortable. In fact, it was only once, which would definitely not be enough in the past, but he felt a little satisfied in his heart.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that he was concerned about her and she was also concerned about him. This feeling was really good.
Chen Qing didn't know that Xuanyuan Ling had been looking at her for a long time. She only knew that after this incident, Xuanyuan Ling's ability to endure seemed to have improved a lot.
Afterwards, the imperial physician came to check Shen Qing's pulse according to the time. Shen Qing had never had any problems with his body. Shen Qing had even seen Ji Meiren vomiting to death, but he did not expect that he would have no symptoms in the first three months.
When Shen Qing was three months pregnant, Ji Meiren was also three months pregnant. They were about the same month, but Chu Linglong was almost seven months pregnant. Her belly was already very big, and compared to Shen Qing's belly which was not visible now, her belly was now more obvious.
At the same time, the weather was getting cooler, so it was time to get ready and return to the palace.
It was De Fei who arranged the matter. Shen Qing was very glad that it was De Fei who was in charge. After all, if it was Concubine Qin or Concubine Yu, she would be the one in charge, and more people would have to be placed around her. Now there is only a palace maid who sweeps the palace and some unfixed spies. It can be seen that Concubine Qin is really not as good as she used to be.
But it was different when she returned to the palace. There were not many people around her in the temporary palace. After all, she was the first to enter the palace and the first to be favored. She had a lot of people under her. Look, the Qin family was still there.
Fang Yun was also a little worried about this matter: "Princess Qin is still keeping an eye on us."
Even though nothing had leaked out, I still felt uncomfortable being watched all the time.
As the saying goes, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, but you're afraid of thieves thinking about it. I always feel like she's going to do something.
Shen Qing smiled calmly: "It is coming and cannot be stopped. I am afraid she has not received accurate information yet, otherwise she would not be so calm."
Concubine De arranged for the concubines to return to the palace.
On the day of returning to the palace, Chen Qing took the carriage specially arranged by Xuanyuan Ling. He returned to the palace in this carriage, getting farther and farther away from the temporary palace, but getting closer and closer to the imperial palace.
Chen Qing still remembered the first time she went out of the palace. She thought that when she returned to the palace, the harem would be in turmoil again. Later, the incident with Concubine Li really happened. She knew that there would be conflicts when there were children in the harem. Now, it was her turn.
When Xuanyuan Ling returned to the palace, the Queen would definitely arrange a palace banquet, so after resting on the first day, he still had to attend the palace banquet the next day.
Xuanyuan Ling found Shen Qing as soon as possible. When he came, he saw her lying down to rest: "Are you tired?"
He was fine after the long journey, but Shen Qing must have been tired.
Shen Qing shook her head and stretched out her hand to him, so he hugged her. Now that she was hugged like this in private, it was like hugging an adult and a child at the same time. Xuanyuan Ling was very happy to hug her like this and thought it was cute: "She's acting like a spoiled child."
Shen Qing curled her lips: “The emperor must expose me.”
Those who didn't know would think she was shy and embarrassed, but Xuanyuan Ling smiled. How could she be shy? Over the years, hadn't he watched her change from being cautious at first to being so wanton?
Xuanyuan Ling hugged her for a while and then talked about business: "Now that we are back in the palace, I plan to exempt you from paying respects and other matters. I have asked Zhao Hai to select the people to be arranged for you privately. You can use them without worry, so as not to have more people around you whose backgrounds are unknown. They will be sent to you tomorrow."
Shen Qing knew what he was thinking: “Your Majesty, don’t you plan to keep it a secret for another two months?”
"You can't hide it for two months. In another month, your belly will be visible." Xuanyuan Ling reached out and touched Shen Qing's belly. It was no longer the same as before. In fact, it was still hard to see, but it felt a little different.
He also consulted the imperial physician because Shen Qing's belly was not noticeable at all since it was three months old. The imperial physician said that it was her first child, so it was not easy to see the belly, but at four months, it could be seen anyway.
How to hide this belly? The palace dress is tied around the waist, is it wrapped up? And there are some rules that you can't miss in the past. You have to go to pay respects, even if you are pregnant, not to mention festivals and palace banquets. There will be a palace banquet tomorrow night, right? When there are many people, it is always uneasy.
He had kept it a secret before because he was afraid that someone would be interested in her pregnancy. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to have a healthy pregnancy. In fact, he regretted it when she accidentally sprained her ankle. It was obvious that protecting her could help avoid some unnecessary accidents. Also, the fact that Tong Shi was faked had been kept secret for too long. If she gave birth to a child in the future, it would be easy for people to make a fuss about her bloodline, which would be bad for her reputation.
But it’s good to be able to keep it a secret for three months. At least the baby is secure.
Xuanyuan Ling also knew that there must be many people watching her during this pregnancy, but no matter who was watching her, he would protect her.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ling returned to the palace, he went to Chen Qing. Everyone in the harem was stunned. After all, Concubine Xi was favored.
However, the concubines who did not go to the temporary palace felt that there was still hope for the emperor's return, and they all dressed up beautifully for today's palace banquet.
Concubine Qin has been watching for more than two months, but still hasn't found anything. Shen Qing has gone out several times, but she really can't see anything unusual. Another point is that the emperor has been staying at Shen Qing's place and has not looked for anyone else.
Seeing this, Concubine Qin began to waver in her original doubts. If Concubine Xi was pregnant and could not sleep with the emperor, then it seemed unreasonable for the emperor to go there day after day without summoning other people to sleep with him.
Therefore, based on Xuanyuan Ling's point, she gradually thought: "Could it be that I am really wrong?"
The next day, Concubine Qin went to the banquet, but saw Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing coming together. Look, Shen Qing came with Xuanyuan Ling. If they wanted to salute Xuanyuan Ling, shouldn’t they also salute Shen Qing?
Concubine Qin was really resentful about paying respect to Chen Qing, but she had no choice.
After they finished their greetings, Shen Qing bowed again to the Queen and Concubine De, and then she sat down.
Xuanyuan Ling sat in the seat of honor. Now he naturally went to see Chen Qing and saw someone serving wine to Chen Qing. In fact, it was a palace banquet, so everyone had to drink a glass of wine. When he saw it, he said, "Xi Fei is pregnant and should not drink. Take the wine away."
For a moment, there was total silence all around, and one could hear a pin drop.
