Chapter 211 Production
Concubine Shu was still indignant: "You are simply unreasonable!"
After a pause, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think so?"
Lin Fei looked at her hesitantly.
Concubine Shu shouted: "Speak!"
"Yes, my lady. I, I can't really explain it, it's just... it's just a feeling."
"Oh, feeling?"
"Yes... I always feel that even if the emperor really doesn't like any of them, he can't keep all of them. Even if he keeps three or four, it won't be a big deal. After all, there are so few concubines in the palace, and since ancient times, the results of the selection... how can there be no byes? Wouldn't that cause gossip? I'm afraid the court officials will have opinions. The emperor really doesn't need to keep such trouble..."
After all, leaving a few behind is enough to get by, and it is also a recognition of the results of the draft.
If no one is left alive, how can the court officials be at peace? Even though the emperor is young, he only has one prince, and the loyal officials will definitely be worried!
Besides, those concubines were not that bad.
Among the twenty people who attended the flower-viewing banquet that day, there were quite a few who were quite outstanding. They were as beautiful as flowers and more charming than flowers. In addition, they were young and as tender as water chestnuts. She couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw them, and secretly lamented that she was getting old and her youth was gone.
Such beauties, apart from anything else, are no worse than those in the palace now, and some are even more outstanding.
The emperor doesn’t even like this?
Even if you really don't like her, it's okay to keep her in the palace.
If the emperor doesn't like it, who dares to force him?
It doesn't matter if I keep her in the palace and ignore her.
This draft ended very successfully and perfectly.
But the emperor just doesn't want to.
But he just stood there under pressure and didn't leave any one behind.
Things like "I don't like it" and "I don't like it" seem like excuses.
What does this mean? There must be something going on.
Although Concubine Shu scolded Concubine Lin for being absurd and talking nonsense, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more terrified she became, and the more jealous she became...
She had a feeling for no reason, she felt that what Lin Fei said was right...
This is horrible...
But there was no way Shu Fei would admit what Lin Fei said.
"That's enough! You're talking nonsense, and I won't bother with you if you say anything to me. If even a single word of these words gets out, you won't know what will happen to you, will you?"
"Your Highness, please spare me. I, your Highness, treat you like one of my own. I only dared to say a few words in front of you. Please, Your Highness, please forgive me. I will never dare to say anything again!"
"It's best if you don't dare!" Concubine Shu said coldly, "These absurd words are a sin to even think about! Remember, you are not allowed to say a single word again. Back off!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave..."
Lin Fei's face turned pale and she stood up and left tremblingly.
As soon as Concubine Lin left, Concubine Shu's face turned as cold as ice and she smashed the teacup fiercely, with an unprecedented anger on her face!
"Impossible, impossible... This is ridiculous! This is impossible! How could the emperor do such a thing for that bitch! No way, no way..."
Concubine Shu covered her aching chest with her hands, her eyes fierce, but she didn't know that the demon in her heart had already formed!
I don’t know how Emperor Yuan Yong suppressed the matter of the selection of concubines in the previous dynasty, but in short, peace was restored soon.
The harem was peaceful and full of joy.
It’s a pity that no matter how much hope the concubines had, in the end, it was all in vain, and all they got was full of disappointment.
Even if Emperor Yuan Yong went to various places, he would just stay for a while and then leave. Staying overnight? It didn't happen.
She stayed in Lianyi Palace for nearly half a month to accompany Concubine Chen, and spent most of the time in Ganyuan Palace. No one could gain anything from the concubines in the harem.
One day at the end of July, Xu Lanshan finally took action one night.
During the period of delivery, Emperor Yuan Yong was even more worried and anxious than she was, and stayed in Lianyi Palace every night.
Xu Lanshan went into labor in the middle of the night. Emperor Yuan Yong was startled and worried. He quickly ordered the midwife, the imperial physician, and the female doctor to come.
Fortunately, we were well prepared and everything was in order.
The lights in Lianyi Palace were bright.
The Empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Lin, Concubine Mei, Concubine Rougui, Concubine Bai, Concubine Mo and others received the news one after another and hurried to Lianyi Palace.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone showed concern on their faces.
In the shadows, Concubine Shu's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and her mood was extremely complicated. She kept chanting the gods and Buddhas, praying to the heavens for protection, hoping that Concubine Chen would give birth to a princess...
Xu Lanshan is in good health and well-cared for, and the birth went very smoothly.
From labor to successful birth, it took less than an hour.
When the first rays of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky, the loud cry of a newborn baby was heard in the delivery room of Ripple Palace.
"It's born!"
"It's finally born!"
A midwife joyfully emerged from the delivery room, kneeling and kowtowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine has given birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was overjoyed!
The Queen was the first to kneel down and congratulate, "Your Majesty, I congratulate you! Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is truly wonderful! Imperial Concubine Chen is truly blessed. It is truly the blessing of the Bodhisattva and the ancestors!"
All the concubines knelt down and kowtowed, congratulating respectfully: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Amidst the smiles, some genuine and some fake, Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily: "Great! Excellent! Everyone, get up quickly! Empress, please discuss this with Consort Shu. I want to give a big reward to the harem."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
All the concubines tried to join in the fun, smiling and joking and congratulating, with laughter and cheers going on all the time.
Soon the delivery room was cleaned up. Emperor Yuan Yong ordered everyone to leave and hurried into the bedroom.
"Lan'er!"
Xu Lanshan had just drunk some ginseng soup and was now lying on the bed with her eyes closed. When she saw him, she smiled: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Yuan Yong sat down on the edge of the couch, holding her hand tightly, a smile that could not be suppressed between his brows: "Thank you, Lan'er, for giving birth to a little prince for me!"
Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly and said, "This is also my child. I love him as much as the emperor does."
"Yes, it's our child. Thank you for your hard work, Lan'er!"
"I am happy with it."
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled, leaned over and kissed her, then turned to look at the baby sleeping soundly in the cradle.
The newborn baby was not good-looking, but Emperor Yuan Yong thought that every part of the baby was beautiful and extremely handsome. The eyes, nose, mouth, face... everything looked like himself.
"Our child is so cute!" Emperor Yuan Yong stretched out his finger to touch him, but withdrew it halfway, a rare look of nervousness on his handsome face. "It's just that he's too small. I don't even dare to touch him!"
