"Your Majesty, today is the first day the Queen summons everyone in the harem. Please don't lose your temper."
The servants in Chuxiu Palace were silent as a mouse, and the crackling sound of people falling echoed throughout the palace.
Only Lan Ying, the maidservant who came with Concubine Bao, dared to advise her at this moment.
She winked at the palace maid kneeling beside her. The young palace maid, who reacted quickly, thanked her profusely in her heart and ran out of the hall.
"What? Do I want to be a cannibal? You two are so far away from each other. Don't you take me seriously?" Concubine Bao is in her twenties. She has been in the palace for only three years, but she is already extremely favored by Emperor Mingxi.
Emperor Mingxi was so stingy with his concubines that, apart from the concubines he had in the Qiandi Palace, only Concubine Bao enjoyed such supreme treatment.
The title is treasured, which shows how favored he is.
Emperor Mingxi entered the harem five times a month, three of which were in Concubine Bao's palace.
Concubine Bao has always looked down on the women in the palace. Except for His Majesty the Queen Mother, who can make Concubine Bao respect her a little, she doesn't care about anyone else.
But, it started when that bitch got pregnant.
His Majesty only visits her once every three months...
Concubine Bao touched her delicate face, which was exactly the same as when she entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Empress now has an heir. No one can get past her, and the Crown Prince is Your Majesty's Achilles' heel. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself.
Besides, apart from the Empress, Her Majesty can also be relied upon as before."
Lan Ying couldn't bear to see her master becoming increasingly depressed, and she complained to herself all day long.
Now that the Crown Prince is here, who can shake the Queen's position? Lan Ying hopes that their master can think more openly.
"Children?" Concubine Bao stared at her belly in a daze, then suddenly pounded her abdomen frantically. "That bitch can get pregnant, and I've been favored for so many years, why is there no sign of anything?"
Lan Ying rushed forward and used her body to block Concubine Bao's fist. "Look at these three palaces and six courtyards. Apart from the Queen, who else has reported any good news? You are humiliating yourself like this. Not to mention the Prime Minister, even I feel distressed."
There was a loud commotion in the palace, and the servants outside lowered their heads even more.
Concubine Bao seemed to be grasping at a lifeline. "Yes, there's no good news in the whole palace. How come the Queen got favored once and got it? Lan Ying, do you think the Queen is committing adultery?"
Lan Ying's expression was blank for a moment. Why was Her Majesty acting so mad now? How could she say such words? This matter involved the royal bloodline, and His Majesty had such connections.
The crown prince must be the emperor's biological son.
But the queen already looks like she wants to die...
Lan Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty is right. There will be plenty of ways to discover it later. The Queen has summoned her today, and His Majesty and the Crown Prince may also be present. I hope Your Majesty will consider His Majesty's sake and not argue with the Queen."
The more Concubine Bao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. "Yes, I will allow her to be complacent and reveal her true self one day. The queen and the heir will all be mine!"
Such farces are still being staged in various palaces, but no matter how reluctant they are, they have to come to Huaqing Palace to pay homage to the master of the harem.
-------------------------------------
The queen wore hairpins and bare clothes, looking elegant and luxurious.
Yan Chengyu was in his adoptive father's arms, drooling and staring at his mother intently.
"Ahhh" Mother is so beautiful!
He is now three months old and has long lost the terrifying appearance he had when he was born.
Yan Chengyu was obsessed with changing his appearance all day long, and he drank milk very cooperatively. In just three months, he had grown fat and plump.
When the three giants of the harem met, they all fell in love with each other.
Even the palace maids serving him bowed down one by one on Yan Chengyu's chubby legs.
In the day-to-day emotional cultivation, the fat boy's lifespan savings reached one year, and his intelligence and acumen also increased a lot.
But Yan Chengyu didn't notice that he was becoming more and more like a child.
From time to time, the palace was filled with the sound of children's innocent laughter and babbling.
Yan Chengyu grinned and laughed happily, leaning in Emperor Mingxi's arms.
He would say a few words to his mother from time to time, making everyone laugh.
The Queen Mother's wrinkles deepened a little from her smile.
Neither the Empress Dowager nor Emperor Mingxi planned to come to Huaqing Palace today. In their opinion, this was the time to test whether the Empress could control the concubines.
If they were present, who would dare to disrespect the queen?
Unexpectedly, the fat boy Yan Chengyu insisted on following his mother and cried when he couldn't see her.
Zizi's face turned red from crying, and even his voice became hoarse.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor had no choice but to follow.
Yan Chengyu stopped crying as soon as he got to the Queen's side. Emperor Mingxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and pinched his son's chubby hand.
"Mother, this little rascal has us in his grasp."
The Queen Mother said cheerfully, "Yu'er should be more lively. The Queen has raised Yu'er so well. It's only right that Ai Jia and the Emperor spend some time on him."
She is now content with having a grandson, and she is happy to watch him grow up.
She also specifically summoned the imperial physician to ask for the secret of health preservation. Now she practices the Five Animal Exercises once in the morning and evening, and the empress dowager feels that her old bones are much looser.
The queen sat below them, looking at her son with tenderness on her face.
The concubines, dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with colorful jewels, each sat in their seats.
Yan Chengyu ate his chubby little hands and looked at the concubines without blinking.
He remembered Sister Yunxiang saying that his father had four concubines, five imperial concubines and what else?
Yan Chengyu's chubby little hands, like lotus root nodes, grabbed around. What else was there? He couldn't think of anything else.
Emperor Mingxi held his son's hand to prevent him from scratching it.
When the concubines came in, the first person they saw was Emperor Mingxi. They all greeted him with expressive eyes, but Emperor Mingxi just responded casually.
