Chapter 333 Wonderful
Shen Qing knew that Xuanyuan Ling was going to announce her pregnancy, but she never expected it to be so high-profile?
Well, if she could get pregnant, everyone in the harem would probably be shocked. Okay, this news itself is high-profile enough, so Xuanyuan Ling’s words are nothing.
Sure enough, when she glanced over, even the queen had a look of "what did you say?" on her face.
The Queen thought she had heard wrongly. She was the one who hosted today's palace banquet. Xuanyuan Ling was not there, and Defei had gone to the temporary palace with him. The Queen was in charge of the harem. She felt much more comfortable now that she was in power again. She was in good health, and she was not very old. It was possible that she was deaf, right?
So it's true?
She originally wanted Shen Qing's child, but Shen Qing took contraceptives on her own and never had one. Later, she was beaten by Concubine Qin and became infertile. She heard it from the imperial physician herself. She has never had a child in all these years.
The Queen looked at Chen Qing below with eyes of disbelief, only to see that there was no special expression on Chen Qing's face. She was very calm and was not afraid at all because of Xuanyuan Ling's words that could cause an uproar, or anything else.
She was annoyed and angry at the same time. Was she able to have children in all these years? Or was she cured long ago and waited until she had the current position and the current favor to have children?
If this is true, this woman's scheming is much deeper than she originally thought.
However, the queen remained calm. After all, she had experienced many ups and downs, and it's not that she had never tried to attack Shen Qing, but she was cautious after being warned by Xuanyuan Ling. Even though Shen Qing was pregnant, she was afraid of Shen Qing's scheming for a moment, but Xuanyuan Ling was still sitting next to her, so she didn't dare to show any other reaction.
All he could do was put on a dignified expression and say, "Concubine Xi is pregnant. This is a happy event."
If the queen could still pretend, then Concubine Qin was different. She had been suspicious for so long, ever since she happened to see Xuanyuan Ling so nervous that day. However, she was misled by the fact that Chen Qing had not had a child for so many years, and Xuanyuan Ling had not looked for other people to mislead her these days. She went from deep suspicion at the beginning to self-denial later.
As a result, she denied it herself, and suddenly Xuanyuan Ling announced that she was pregnant?
Her guess was right. She was really pregnant, but she had kept it a secret before. It was the emperor who protected her. Now the emperor personally announced her pregnancy. It had been several months, and the fetus was already firmly seated. The emperor just said it. Was he afraid of being harmed? Did he care so much about the child in Shen Qing's belly?
When other concubines Ji Meiren and Yi Guiren were pregnant, he just sent some people to serve them, but as for Shen Qing, he kept it a secret.
In the past, there had never been a concubine or a child that made him care so much.
The fact that Xuanyuan Ling didn't go to sleep with other people was one of the reasons why she let go of her doubts. Chen Qing was beautiful, and when Xuanyuan Ling didn't go to sleep with other people in the past, she could still say that it was Chen Qing who seduced her, but what about now?
She was pregnant and couldn't sleep with the emperor. The emperor had never spent the night in a pregnant concubine's room before.
Bitch, even when you are pregnant, you are seducing the emperor and not going anywhere else. Aren’t you afraid of losing the child?
The fingernails of Qinpin's hands were broken from pinching them under her sleeves. The pain from her fingertips was not as great as her heartache. At this moment, she could only think of Chen Qing hooking Xuanyuan Ling like this. It would be best if the two of them were unrestrained and had no children. Would Xuanyuan Ling be able to tolerate her by then?
But it was a banquet after all, and although Concubine Qin hated it to death, she couldn't possibly say anything in front of so many people.
The first person Chen Qing looked at was the Queen, who was very dignified. The second person she looked at was Concubine Qin, whose face was so tense that veins were about to pop out. The third person she looked at was Chu Linglong.
Chu Linglong was also stunned for a moment. After all, the news was really shocking. After all, everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Xi was infertile. How could she suddenly become pregnant?
Then she realized that she was pregnant suddenly, right? Concubine Xi certainly didn't find out that she was pregnant just now. If she came back to call the imperial physician, it would be a big deal in the harem. Concubine Xi didn't call the imperial physician immediately, so she didn't know about it yesterday. So she was pregnant in the palace, and the emperor obviously knew about it.
Thinking about it this way, doesn’t the fact that the emperor suddenly sent a chef become prominent again?
Chu Linglong thought at the time that since Concubine Ji vomited like this, the emperor was still concerned about her pregnancy, so it was normal to change the cook. But in fact, they were just a cover, and the emperor deliberately kept Concubine Xi's pregnancy a secret.
Previously it seemed that the Emperor was concerned about the babies in their bellies, but now, compared with Concubine Xi, she is pregnant. The Emperor has kept it a secret for her until now. Calculating the dates, it’s the same as Concubine Ji’s, so this baby is also secure, right?
They are both pregnant, but the baby in their bellies hasn't come out yet and we don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. Does that mean it's more valuable than the gold in their bellies?
After watching Chu Linglong, Shen Qing looked at Concubine De.
Concubine De was also shocked. For a moment, she wondered if her infertility could be saved. But then she realized that she was being stupid. Even if there was a chance of recovery, what would it matter? At this point, did she still have to go to the Emperor to ask for favor and have another child?
People should be content with what they have. Don't say that she doesn't know whether there is hope or not. Even if there is hope, she won't be able to seek favor again. Although the Third Prince is not her own child, it's already very good to be raised by him now.
The expressions on the faces of the other concubines were similar. After hearing the news, Concubine Zhao was shocked and looked thoughtful. As for Concubine Zhou, after being surprised, she managed to smile, but her smile was not very pretty.
In short, everyone had all kinds of expressions at the same time, it was very exciting.
