Chapter 1054: Pregnant so soon?
Wang Anshi: "If you want to say it, you can say it. I won't say it."

"I am a lowly person and my words carry no weight. Wang Shumi is your Majesty's loyal minister. Your Majesty will certainly accept what you say."

Wang Anshi drank a glass of wine and his face turned slightly red. "I did drink a few sips of wine, but I'm not drunk! Today is a palace banquet, a happy day, why am I bringing this up?"

What good will it do him if he spoils Your Majesty's mood?

As long as the Emperor and Empress live in harmony and do not interfere with Your Majesty's affairs of state, that's enough!

Why bother with other things?

Lu Huiqing smiled awkwardly and raised her glass to hide her embarrassment, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

When the palace banquet was coming to an end, Zhao Rui suddenly said, "I have good news to share with you all. The queen is pregnant. It has been more than three months. She will give birth to an heir next July."

Lu Huiqing: Just when we were talking about having children, the Queen is pregnant?

Isn't this speed too fast?

The first one to pick up the wine glass and stand up was Prince An. Zhao Yu said happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. You will be able to see the birth of a prince next year. That is a blessing for our Song Dynasty."

Lu Sihui shook the hand holding the wine glass.

Are you happy?
The queen was enthroned on August 20th, and she was pregnant so soon, three months already. She must have been pregnant before she told the court officials.

Although there are no concubines in the harem, there are still many concubines left by the previous emperor. Who knows what camp they are in.

So wait until the child is sitting steadily, and then tell him/her that even if you want to do something, it won’t be that easy.

This is to protect Gu Yanxiao.

Lu Sihui drank the wine in the glass and listened to the congratulations from all directions with a sneer in her heart.

Zhao Rui was as happy as a child. He no longer had the dignity he had when attending court. He accepted all toasts.

Gu Yan smiled: "Drink less."

It was not a tone of exhortation, but a direct command.

Minister: This queen is too overbearing. She speaks to His Majesty like this, and in such an occasion. Isn’t she afraid of His Majesty’s anger?

What happened next was really shocking.

"Yes, it's all up to you."

They are just like an ordinary couple.

Princess Shun Ram looked at Lu Sihui with a fake smile on her face.

After waiting for so long, the time is ripe.

If she contacts Lu Sihui now and cooperates with her, this woman will definitely take the bait.

Su Yixin knew when Gu Yanxiao was less than two months old, and she took her pulse. The pregnancy looked good. Zhao Rui's personal physician, Wang, said that this baby was most likely a boy.

Zhao Rui was so happy at that time that he wanted the whole world to know.

It was Empress Dowager Cao who asked Zhao Rui to be patient and wait for three months.

Zhao Rui didn't agree at first because he had no concubines in his harem and didn't have to worry about anyone harming her.

After all, Empress Dowager Cao has been in the deep palace for so many years, and she is very familiar with the methods used in the harem. She said that there are many people in the harem, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

Zhao Rui waited until now to announce the good news.

After the palace banquet, Prince An returned home with his family. Zhao Ming followed his mother and whispered, "Mother, the queen is pregnant. Will it affect the child?"

Lu Sihui was thinking about how to deal with Gu Yanxiao, and her son suddenly asked her this. She immediately calmed down and said, "Don't worry, no one can stop the road that mother has paved for you."

She lowered her voice and said, "After you return home, remember to stay with your father more often, be sweet-mouthed, and show off more. You must let your father see that you are his best son."

Zhao Ming: "Mom, you always tell me these things, and I have calluses on my ears!"

"You kid, you're complaining again. Who am I doing this for?" It's all for his future.

Zhao Ming curled his lips: "I know, son knows that mother did this for me."

After saying this, he took a few steps forward and came to Zhao Yu's side: "Father, you have drunk a lot of wine. I will support you."

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Ming with satisfaction: "Of the three children, you are still the most caring one!"

Zhao Ming was naturally happy when his father praised him.

Zhao Yu's praise was so loud that Lu Sihui heard it. She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and glanced with a little pride at Cao Zhuohui's face who was one step ahead of her.

Seeing that she still had a smile on her face, I couldn't help but think: When it comes to hypocrisy, Cao Zhuohui is three times worse than her.

Over the years, no matter what means she used, she was able to resolve them.

He is a man of means.

What she couldn't understand was that she was just being a princess, but why did she have to secretly protect Concubine Chang? After so many years, Concubine Chang was still the most favored among them.

Isn’t Cao Zhuohui angry?
When they arrived at the palace, Prince An and his children stayed in the main hall to celebrate the New Year's Eve, while the other female members of the family were allowed to return to their own courtyards.

Concubine Chang bowed to the princess and said, "My Lady Princess, I will take my leave now."

Cao Zhuohui nodded: "Okay, we have to get up early tomorrow."

"I understand."

Lu Sihui immediately bowed and took her leave, walking towards the backyard with Concubine Chang.

"Concubine Chang, I haven't been to your place for so many years. Today is a great day. Why don't we go to your yard and sit for a while?"

"Since my sister has spoken, please go ahead."

Concubine Chang hasn't changed at all over the years, and she still looks submissive.

Concubine Chang's yard was much smaller than hers. There were no exquisite flowers or plants, let alone an elegant layout. When she entered the house, Lu Sihui took a quick glance at the furnishings in the house and thought, wow, it was so tacky.

Lu Sihui didn't even know why Prince An liked Concubine Chang.

Apart from her pretty face, she is totally useless.

Even that face, there was nothing stunning about it. Anyway, Lu Sihui felt that she was no less pretty than Concubine Chang.

"Sister, drink tea."

The maid poured a cup for Lu Sihui, and Concubine Chang handed it to her personally.

Lu Sihui took the teacup and took a sip: "Concubine Chang, you are so favored, why is this tea still stale?"

"Sister may not know that my younger sister doesn't like to drink tea, so the tea has become stale after being left there for a while."

Lu Sihui put down the teacup: "So that's how it is."

"I see there is a tree of Albizia Julibrissin in your yard. I have never seen it before."

Concubine Chang smiled and replied, "Sister, you may be too busy to notice it. This tree has been there for a long time."

She had indeed never noticed such a big Albizia tree.

After sitting for a while, Lu Sihui said some irrelevant things. Concubine Chang accompanied her patiently, but she didn't ask what Lu Sihui wanted to do, nor did she urge her to leave.

In the end, she just lost her patience.

"Sister, your Majesty has had an empty harem for so many years. Now, less than half a year after he was enthroned, the Queen is pregnant. Aren't you anxious?"

Concubine Chang looked at Lu Sihui in confusion: "Sister, isn't this a good thing? Why should I be anxious?"

Lu Sihui laughed twice: "Sister, don't pretend to be confused. Your Majesty has allowed these three children to enter the palace and follow the Grand Tutor for so many years. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what Your Majesty is thinking."
