Chapter 89 Concubine Fang
No one knew about the chance encounter in the Imperial Garden. Both of them felt inexplicably funny after the encounter. Xuanyuan Ling felt a little unbearable in his heart. He couldn't describe it in words at the moment. He really wanted to take the girl back to Zhaohua Palace in broad daylight, but he endured it.
Shen Qing found a suitable adjective, which sounded like cheating.
Of course, they were communicating privately and kissing in the fake cave without any prior arrangement. Doesn’t that look like an affair?
It’s funny to think about it this way.
Xuanyuan Ling was puzzled. When it comes to matters of the bed, no matter how beautiful a person is, it is impossible for them to be stunning all the time. This kind of thing would be like this after a few times. He had no shortage of people in his harem, but now that he was with Shen Qing, it was really different. This chance encounter in the imperial garden actually had a different flavor.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Shen Qing to hook up like this, but instead he became more and more obsessed with it.
It would be fine if she could be favored as she wished, but now she really couldn't bear to let go. Although Shen Qing was favored quite a lot, it was not excessive. If everyone in the palace looked at her with a frown, other people would inevitably be concerned about her. Xuanyuan Ling thought about the cute look of this little thing and really couldn't bear to let go.
So I always have to control the number of times I see her.
With this control, I feel even more concerned.
One night at the end of the month, just after dinner, Xuanyuan Ling received the news that Concubine Fang had launched an attack.
According to the rules, the Emperor does not have to go, but the Empress has to be there. Xuanyuan Ling asked Zhao Hai to send someone to report at any time. Concubine Fang's first child will take a little longer.
It was not the first time that a woman had given birth to a child for Xuanyuan Ling. He went to sleep when it was time to sleep, and still had to attend the morning court the next day.
Shen Qing also got the news, but she didn't have to accompany the birth due to her status, and she felt a little sad in her heart.
If Concubine Yu had not lost her first pregnancy, and if there had not been the incident with her contraceptive pills later on, plus the Second Prince, with the weight of these three things, it would have been hard to predict whether Concubine Fang would have this pregnancy.
The Queen wanted a child after all.
But now, the Queen is probably still praying in her heart that Concubine Fang can give birth to this child and that both mother and child are safe.
Sometimes luck is very important in the harem.
Concubine Shen had very bad luck, but Concubine Fang obviously had very good luck.
In this life, it is from nightfall to sunrise the next day. Only then is the palace sun fully opened and birth begins in earnest.
After more than an hour, the baby finally landed on the ground.
Someone immediately went over there to report the good news.
"Noble Fang gave birth to a prince."
Xuanyuan Ling also heard the news and went downstairs early, so he went to see her.
As soon as he arrived, he heard the Queen announce the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Bring the child here."
Xuanyuan Ling went to take a look at the third prince.
The Queen said, "Look at how blessed the Third Prince is. He looks exactly like the Emperor."
Xuanyuan Ling knew that the Queen was saying this in a propitious way, but he was also a little speechless at the Queen's ability to lie with her eyes open. The newborn baby was red like a hairless monkey, how could it be similar? But he was always happy in his heart. The Second Prince had been gone for a short time, and it was good to have some happy events in the palace: "Promote him to the position of Concubine Fang."
It's a double happiness.
Concubine Fang could not pay her respects inside because the delivery room was dirty and the emperor was not allowed to enter, but her heart was full of joy. She was exhausted after giving birth all night, but she was excited.
Now that she has given birth to a prince, she won't have to worry about favor in the future. Just look at Concubine Yu. After giving birth to a child, her future is guaranteed.
Not to mention that Concubine Yu had a miscarriage and the Second Prince was gone. Naturally, her Third Prince was the most precious in the entire palace.
Concubine Fang was extremely upset, and naturally some people were unhappy too. While the whole palace was filled with joy, the servants in Zhong Yu Palace who were serving her did not dare to breathe for a whole day.
Concubine Yu stopped throwing things. In fact, Wan Zhao thought that Concubine Yu might as well vent her anger. Ever since the news that Concubine Fang gave birth to the third prince came, she had been sitting there with a blank expression. He was afraid that she would develop some kind of illness.
Wan Zhao didn't dare to persuade her, so he could only secretly ask someone to bring the third princess over. Concubine Yu, apart from other things, now values the third princess more and more. The arrival of the third princess would definitely distract Concubine Yu.
When Concubine Yu saw the Third Princess coming, her expression was indeed no longer expressionless. She glared at Wan Zhao, obviously guessing that the Third Princess had not come for no reason. But seeing the Third Princess, she was full of pity and love: "Have you had breakfast?"
The third princess said, "No, I will accompany you to use it."
Concubine Yu felt sad in her heart that she had to ask such a young child to comfort her. She didn't want to scare her, so she turned around and ordered breakfast to eat with the third princess.
After breakfast, Concubine Yu asked someone to take the third princess downstairs. She glared at Wan Zhao again, and Wan Zhao knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Forget it, get up." Concubine Yu said, "I'm fine." The saddest times have passed. Now it's just Concubine Fang, no, now it's Concubine Fang. She just gave birth to a child. Could it be more sad for her than when the second prince passed away?
Concubine Yu thought about it, with some obscure thoughts in her mind. She said, "Go and ask the small kitchen to prepare. The emperor may come over tonight."
Wan Zhao agreed.
That night, Xuanyuan Ling really came.
When Xuanyuan Ling came, Concubine Yu naturally served him well. The small kitchen also prepared all the dishes that Xuanyuan Ling liked. Concubine Yu could not say anything to congratulate the emperor on the birth of his son, and seemed a little silent.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her like this and said, "Don't worry, take good care of the Third Princess, I will come often in the future."
Concubine Yu felt sad when she heard this: "I understand. I will definitely take good care of the Third Princess."
"Um."
Just looking at the way she wished she could go with the Second Prince when he passed away, he was also soft-hearted.
Concubine Yu served very attentively during this meal, but it didn't matter whether the food was good or not. Xuanyuan Ling always ate well. After the dinner, he said, "I still have some memorials to be made, you should also go to bed early."
After hearing what he said, Concubine Yu naturally had no choice but to see him off respectfully. In the past, she would even act like a spoiled child, but now she was afraid that tears would fall at the mere mention of a word. She watched him leave and then lowered her head.
Wan Zhao looked at Concubine Yu and tried to comfort her: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? The Emperor's coming here means that everyone in the palace knows about it. Even if Concubine Fang gave birth to the third prince, she couldn't get past Your Majesty. It shows that Your Majesty is the most important person in the Emperor's heart."
In the past, Concubine Yu would feel somewhat comforted when she heard these words, but now that Xuanyuan Ling really came, her guess was confirmed.
Just as Wan Zhao said, he really wanted everyone in the palace to see it, so that everyone knew that she was favored, and that was also to protect her and the third princess.
Wan Zhao himself felt that something was wrong. Others didn't know, but he didn't know. Since the second prince died, the emperor has come here often, but he has never asked Concubine Yu to sleep with him. Now, seeing Concubine Yu's face, he suddenly understood something. Could it be that the emperor was tired of Concubine Yu, but he came here to pretend for the sake of the third princess?
Wan Zhao couldn't believe it when he thought about it. No way? It couldn't be like this. If the emperor really did this, it would hurt Concubine Yu's heart.
