“!!!”
Zhu'er thought she had misheard, but the woman on the bed didn't look like she was joking at all:
"Miss, why do you need to use this..."
"This is a way to win favor?"
Zhu'er hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say anything, so Qiao Yu continued the words for her.
Of course she wasn't pregnant, and faking a pregnancy wasn't really an attempt to curry favor.
After Imperial Physician Jiang confirmed that she was pregnant, Yan Fu's favorability finally rose from 70 to 80 after three months, and 80 was already very high for an emperor.
It was considered a solicitation of favor because she needed this opportunity to break through Yan Fu's psychological defenses, not because she wanted more than just favor.
As for why she faked a pregnancy, firstly, she had never slept with the Dog Emperor, and secondly, even if Qiao Yu was really pregnant, the Dog Emperor would not let her give birth.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the Emperor is sincere towards you, young lady. If the Emperor finds out..."
"Sincerity? What a joke. Zhu'er, the least valuable thing in this world is sincerity."
The throne and the beauty, no emperor would give up his country unless he is extremely stupid.
As for why Qiao Yu believed Zhu'er and told her about the fake pregnancy, it was because she could really kill Yan'er for Hua Yunlan.
But her loyalty belongs to Hua Yunlan.
When meeting Su Yu by the lake, the system prompted Zhu'er that she saw herself and Su Yu together, and later Yan'er also came over.
If Zhu'er doesn't find a way to get rid of Yan'er, Qiao Yu will not kill them, but will send them out of the palace and leave the capital.
"Miss, you still have Pearl."
When Zhu'er was young, her family could not afford to raise so many children. As a useless girl, she was naturally sold to a human trafficker by her father. If she had not been rescued by the young lady, she would have ended up in a brothel and become the lowest kind of prostitute.
She knew that Hua Yunlan had become cruel because of what she had experienced in her previous life. In this harem where people were eaten without leaving any bones, if she was not cruel, she would be trampled underfoot and turned into a puddle of mud.
"Have Doctor Du do his best to cure Yan'er. If she survives this, I'll give her fifty taels and let her go home."
"yes..."
The fact that Qiao Yu was "pregnant" and was promoted to Concubine Lan was already known to everyone in the harem. How many women gritted their teeth and begged Qiao Yu not to give birth to this child.
The warm sunlight shone into the Lanchao Palace, and everyone was happy that their queen was pregnant with a young master.
Sufang, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but feel happy:
"My Lady, the sun is about to set. It's a cool evening, so why don't you go in and rest?"
Since Qiao Yu's 'pregnancy', she has become increasingly lazy. She is already sleepy even though she is only 5 months pregnant.
"No, the wind is just right."
Sufang had no choice but to coax the sometimes willful empress. When she couldn't persuade her anymore, she had to go in and get her a thin blanket to cover her.
When he was taking it back, he saw Yan Fu:
"emperor.."
Before everyone in the palace finished their ceremony, Yan Fu waved his hand and asked them to stand up, then hurried to the inner hall.
In the past, Yan Fu would stay overnight in Yangxin Palace due to his busy affairs in the former court. Ever since Qiao Yu became pregnant, he even moved all the memorials to Lanchao Palace to handle them. It can be said that he stayed in Lanchao Palace for thirty days a month.
"Is your wife still asleep?"
The little girl was lazy on weekdays, and she became even more sleepy when she was pregnant. However, every time he looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, he didn't even feel tired from the official work in his hands.
Sufang was about to answer when she saw the man couldn't wait and went in to look for it himself.
Yan Fu, who was originally smiling, immediately turned cold when he saw Qiao Yu lying on the soft couch in the yard wearing thin clothes.
But when he got closer, he saw that the girl's little head was nodding off, and Yan Fu's anger disappeared immediately.
The pregnant girl did not gain any weight. Apart from a slightly bulging belly, she looked much thinner.
Qiao Yu was not sleeping deeply to begin with. When someone approached, she raised her eyes slightly. Seeing that it was Yan Fu, she naturally reached out and put her arms around him:
"Your Majesty, please come here."
Yan Fu was very pleased with the girl's wholehearted trust in him. He held the girl's waist with his hands, allowing Qiao Yu to lie more comfortably in his arms. He pinched her beautiful nose with one hand:
"You're about to become a mother, yet you're still so willful. Sufang and the others must be having a headache with a master like you."
Yan Fu didn't believe that the people in Lan Chao Palace would dare to neglect their master, unless they... all thought their lives were too long.
The girl curled her lips in dissatisfaction and snorted delicately:
"No, Your Majesty will only make fun of Lan'er."
Even though he knew the girl was pretending to be angry, Yan Fu still couldn't bear to see her angry, so he half-coaxed her:
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Qiao Yu wasn't angry in the first place, and now that the man was so humble, she naturally... wanted to take advantage of him:
"Then Lan'er will forgive the emperor. Lan'er is hungry."
"Okay, but we can't let our little ancestor starve. Bring us the food."
When Yan Fu spoke the first half of the sentence to Qiao Yu, he was extremely gentle, but in the second half he returned to his usual unkind attitude.
Yan Fu was helping Qiao Yu pick up food at the table, but he himself rarely moved his chopsticks. He always waited for Qiao Yu to finish eating before eating, and he didn't mind Qiao Yu's leftovers at all.
At first, Yu Yuanting was so frightened by his master's disrespectful behavior that he dared not even breathe. Fortunately, he got used to it after experiencing it a few times.
At this time, a palace maid came in:
"Concubine Qiu sent some supplements to express her sympathy, saying they were the best pregnancy-maintaining medicine from her mother's family. She also said she wanted to pay her respects to the Concubine."
