Chapter 32 Xu Changzai was promoted
The imperial physician arrived quickly, and after checking Lady Bai's pulse, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Bai is pregnant, and she is already over two months pregnant!"
"ah!"
"What!"
All the concubines were shocked.
Some people are envious, some are shocked and jealous, and some are so hateful that their faces are almost twisted.
The Queen immediately revealed a look of joy: "Really? This is truly a great joyous event! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The Empress immediately knelt down and bowed deeply to the Emperor. Seeing this, the other concubines also bowed and congratulated him.
Emperor Yuan Yong had few children. Currently, he only had an eldest princess born to the Empress and an eldest prince born to Consort Shu. He was very happy that Consort Bai was pregnant. He smiled and nodded, "Get up. Imperial Physician, please check carefully. Is the fetus disturbed?"
Imperial Physician Tang bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Lady Bai has only had a minor fright. The baby is fine. She just needs to be taken good care of."
"Yes." Emperor Yuan Yong nodded. "From now on, you will be responsible for taking the pulse for this pregnancy. Empress, you will take care of Concubine Bai."
Doctor Tang bowed hurriedly to receive the order, and then withdrew when he saw that there was nothing else to do.
The queen had no choice but to agree.
This was not an easy task, but as the Queen, she could not refuse. She only hoped that Lady Bai would do her best and give birth to the child safely.
She really hoped that Concubine Bai would give birth safely, and preferably it would be a prince so that he could compete with Concubine Shu. She couldn't bear to see that there was only one prince in the palace now.
Anyway, she is the queen, and Concubine Bai's mother's family is not prominent. Concubine Bai herself is an honest and unremarkable person. Even if she gave birth to a prince, it would not be a big deal.
Emperor Yuan Yong was very happy and immediately ordered to reward Concubine Bai with a lot of things. He also ordered the empress to pick an experienced nanny and two useful palace maids to serve Concubine Bai.
Lady Bai was already overwhelmed by this great news. Her face was full of joy and she quickly expressed her gratitude.
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at Xu Lanshan again and said, "Today is all thanks to Concubine Xu. If it weren't for her quick eyes and hands, I'm afraid something terrible would have happened. I hope Concubine Xu will be promoted to the sixth rank of Xiuyi."
Everyone was stunned, including Xu Lanshan.
Ah, this mission was completed so unexpectedly? She got promoted right away?
Concubine Lian could no longer bear it: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xu has only been appointed as Concubine for a little over a month. Isn't it too fast to promote her?"
Everyone was stunned again, and they all secretly admired or laughed at Concubine Lian's bravery.
What they thought in their hearts was the same as Concubine Lian's. They all felt that Xu Lanshan's promotion was too fast.
She's just a palace maid, and in just a month, she's already become a sixth-rank Xiuyi?! Is there any justice in the world?
But no one dared to object.
The emperor wants to honor Xu Lanshan, who dares to disobey him?
It would be strange if Concubine Lian could please anyone...
Emperor Yuan Yong said coldly, "Why? Xu Xiuyi saved the imperial heir in Lady Bai's womb. Is this merit undeserved?"
Concubine Lian was unwilling to accept this, and she gritted her teeth and argued, "We are sisters. Concubine Xu was right beside Concubine Bai at the time, so it was only natural for her to save Concubine Bai..."
"How outrageous!" Emperor Yuan Yong almost laughed out loud at her anger. "Concubine Lian is so arrogant! If that's what you said, then shouldn't others be punished for not running to save Noble Lady Bai? Here, those who have made contributions are rewarded and those who have made mistakes are punished. There's no such thing as taking things for granted! If Concubine Lian doesn't even understand this principle, then she should read more books. Only by reading can she understand it!"
This is scolding her in public for being ignorant!
Concubine Lian's face flushed red with embarrassment, and tears welled up in her eyes.
That bitch! That bitch!
The Queen laughed and said, "Your Majesty is right. Xu Xiuyi has done a great deed today and deserves this reward. Your Majesty is very wise in handling matters." As she spoke, she glared at Xu Lanshan and said, "Xu Xiuyi, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Xu Lanshan quickly knelt down: "I thank the emperor for his grace!"
Emperor Yuan Yong raised his hand and said, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Bai was frightened and needed to rest well, so everyone soon dispersed. Only the emperor and the empress stayed, apparently to comfort Concubine Bai.
Concubine Lian rushed straight to Yuming Palace with a cold face.
Xu Lanshan was very happy in her heart, but she looked a little nervous and at a loss. She exchanged a few pleasantries with the concubines who came to congratulate her outside Xia Si Palace, and then hurried back to her own Cuiyinxuan.
No matter how precious Lady Bai is, she is also a mortal.
She still felt a dull pain from the fall of such a huge man like Bai Guiren.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to Cuiyinxuan, he saw that Doctor Tang was already waiting there. "My lady, I will treat you as well."
Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly: "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Tang!"
It must be the emperor's order, otherwise Doctor Tang would not be here.
Thinking of this, she felt a little happy. The emperor was quite kind to her!
Isn't that quite nice? She was the one who saved his heir.
Xu Lanshan only had a bruise on her waist, a superficial injury. She needed to apply some medicinal wine and have a good rest, and it would be fine in two days.
Xu Lanshan was relieved.
In the harem of the Dawen Dynasty, there was no distinction between the main and the secondary concubines for the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks. From the fifth rank onwards, there was a main and secondary concubine.
She is now a sixth-rank Xiuyi, and above that she is a fifth-rank talent and then a fifth-rank beauty.
You still have to work hard!
But right now, she's most concerned about her reward.
"Tongtong, I've been promoted."
"Congratulations, kiss! That's awesome!"
The system was as cheerful as ever, and showed no intention of withholding the rewards it was supposed to give. "Dear, you can receive your rewards now!"
"Okay!"
Xu Lanshan couldn't wait to check it out.
Body odor was optimized by 10%, reaching 40%; body flexibility was improved by 10%; body lightness was improved by 40%, reaching 50%. For ordinary people, this level is only around 10% to 15% in the system's standards. She has now reached 50%, which is already excellent.
The system smiled and said, "In addition to these, there is an additional reward. The reward is one cubic meter of storage space. Would you like to accept it?"
Xu Lanshan's eyes lit up. "Storage space? Is it the kind of storage space where you can store anything you want by controlling it with your mind?"
System: "That's right, but you can't store live animals. Everything else is fine."
Xu Lanshan was overjoyed and couldn't wait: "Accept, accept, accept immediately!"
"Okay, honey! The space has been bound to you, you can check it anytime!"
"All right, you are so nice, all right, hehehe!"
Xu Lanshan realized in an instant that the system had not deceived her, and she was so happy!
Now she has her own space! Even though it's only one cubic meter, it's still a large space and can store a lot of things.
Shouldn't you pack some gold, silver, and jewelry for self-defense? It will give you peace of mind!
Xu Lanshan's spirits lifted. Did this mean there would be more opportunities for extra rewards in the future? Perhaps the space could even get bigger?
