Princess Xi is pregnant, which is another great joy. Concubine Li is eager to tell everyone about it, because she can show off in front of the emperor again.
The person who was most annoyed upon hearing the news was Concubine Chang. She paced back and forth in Dening Palace, gasping for breath.
Seeing that she was in an unstable mood, Yu Ma hurried forward to persuade her:
"Your Majesty, Princess Naxi is just pregnant. It's not certain whether it's a boy or a girl, and it's not certain that she'll be able to give birth smoothly. Please don't be anxious."
Concubine Chang stopped in her tracks with a gloomy expression on her face. A flash of hostility flashed in her eyes as she said angrily:
"It's my fault that Ming'er was born a few years late. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stolen the limelight. Now, Princess Yu is pregnant, and Princess Xi is also pregnant. If one of them gives birth to a son, what will Ming'er have to compete with them?"
"My Lady, didn't I just say that it's still unknown whether they can give birth successfully? Why are you so anxious? There are still a few months before the birth. Anything can happen in these few months."
Listening to Yu Ma's words, Concubine Chang looked at her coldly, snorted coldly, and said:
"Now Princess Yu won't come near me, and Princess Xi will definitely be on guard against me under the instructions of Princess Li. What else can I do?"
Nanny Yu's shrewd eyes twinkled, and she muttered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
“Man proposes, God disposes. If you don’t try, how can you know the outcome?”
Concubine Chang half-closed her eyes and looked back at her as if she had just woken up from a dream, with a few sinister glances in her eyes.
The emperor's reward soon arrived at Prince Xi's Mansion, but Leng Xi, who was completely unaware of it, was still confused.
Liu Xi looked at him and said with a cheerful smile:
"Congratulations, Prince Xi. The Emperor has said that you should learn more from Prince Yu, take good care of Princess Xi, and bring more children and blessings to the royal family."
Liu Xi pointed at the rewards and looked at him in confusion, "Eunuch Liu, what...what's going on?"
"Lord Xi, are you kidding? Princess Xi is very happy, you must know that, right?"
Great joy?
Leng Xi's face suddenly turned pale. She got pregnant after just one try?
Just when he was confused and at a loss, Liu Xi had already left with the people in the palace.
He turned quickly and went straight to Yu Qiaoqiao's room.
When he saw Yu Qiaoqiao sitting in a daze beside the bronze mirror, he walked straight up and asked:
"Why didn't you tell me? Everyone in the world knows, am I the only one who doesn't know?"
Yu Qiaoqiao knew what he was talking about, so she sneered nonchalantly:
"You don't care, do you know what it matters?"
Seeing her words were so cold, Leng Xi frowned and asked:
"This is my child. I should be the first to know. Yu Qiaoqiao, don't think you can show off in front of me just because you're pregnant."
Yu Qiaoqiao, without even turning her head, combed the strands of hair scattered on her chest and chuckled softly:
"If you want to show off your power, my status as the Imperial Censor's daughter is enough. Why do you need to come to your Xiwang Mansion? Your Highness Xiwang, you are worrying too much."
Her words were always so cold.
Leng Xi stared at her in astonishment, his eyes sank slightly, and he said again:
"Since you are pregnant, you should stay in the palace and take good care of the child. During this period, I will assign more people to take care of you."
Leaving these words behind, he swung his sleeves and turned away mercilessly.
Yu Qiaoqiao pulled up a scornful smile at the corner of her mouth. She didn't need his care, never had, and her child didn't need his care either.
Mid-Autumn Festival
The lotus flowers in the palace are in bloom. At the emperor's instruction, Concubine Li holds a flower-viewing banquet together with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
All the ministers in the court and their families were invited, and Luo Lan naturally could not be absent.
Leng Yu personally accompanied her, sitting in the carriage driven by Xiao Lingzi, and rushed to the palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Leng Yu kept giving instructions,
"After entering the palace, I will probably be busy for a while. You must be extra careful. I will let Acai and Ahong stay with you."
"Now that you're older, you have to be careful when walking and don't bump into things..."
"Don't eat anything cold or spicy. I'll have someone prepare something you like."
"When admiring the lotus flowers, you can only watch from a distance, not up close. The lakeside is slippery, so be careful."
Listening to him mumbling like an old woman, Luo Lan couldn't help but smile:
"Husband, you've been talking too much lately. I'm really worried that our son will become a chatterbox like you."
The reason why Luo Lan called her son was because she had already done an eight-dimensional examination and determined the gender of the fetus in her womb.
Leng Yu lowered his head and chuckled to himself. He raised his hand to support his forehead and said embarrassedly:
"Maybe I'm being too cautious. I'm always worried that something might happen to my wife. If it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival today and my father personally inviting you, I wouldn't have let you into the palace."
Seeing his cautious look, Luo Lan shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a gentle look in his eyes.
After a while, the carriage came to a steady stop, and Xiao Lingzi called softly from outside:
"Prince, Princess, we've arrived."
At the same time, Ahong and Acai, who were following behind, hurried over to help Luo Lan, but Leng Yu signaled them to step back and he came over to help her himself.
Looking at the intimacy between the two of them, Yu Qiaoqiao, who was standing behind them, felt a chill in her heart.
Both of them are pregnant, so why is Princess Yu treated like a treasure by Prince Yu, while I am only surrounded by a few maids and can't see Leng Xi at all?
