The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Because it was the food of the Empress Dowager's hometown, all the concubines dared not give her face. Even the concubines who liked heavy food had to pretend to like it very much and tasted every dish.

Only Fu Meiren, smelling the beef brisket soup, felt stuffy in her chest, and quietly ordered someone to cover the soup to prevent the smell from escaping.

In the center of the courtyard, musicians from Si Le Fang were playing long and peaceful tunes, while all the concubines were tasting southern delicacies and giving out admiration from time to time.

Seeing the joy of the crowd, the queen mother felt a lot of joy in her heart, so she ate a few mouthfuls of happiness for a while.

At this time, an extremely abrupt sound sounded suddenly, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Seeing Xu Cairen next to Zhao Cairen rubbing his chest and retching, all the concubines showed disgust for a while.

However, among the concubines present, those who had been pregnant or were pregnant all frowned slightly, and their eyes turned cold.

The queen dowager and others at the top also heard the voice from Xu Cairen's place, and immediately stopped the musicians who were playing the music.

At this time, Xu Cairen retched uncontrollably again, and he heard the Queen Mother's voice said with joy: "Quickly go to the imperial physician!"

After finishing speaking, the nimble little eunuch ran out of the Compassionate Ning Palace and walked towards the Imperial Hospital.

The atmosphere in the palace became tense again, no one spoke, and occasionally Xu Cairen retched.

Sitting next to Xu Cairen, Zhao Nuoqing ignored the inconvenience and patted her on the back lightly to comfort her, while thinking: Just now Xu Cairen suddenly retched after taking a sip of beef brisket soup. When the stepmother was pregnant, she was like a talented person, and she couldn't touch any meat.

She thought to herself, is Xu Cairen pregnant?

Not long after, the imperial physician rushed over, and everyone held their breaths, waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis.

After half a cup of tea, the imperial doctor suddenly got up and walked to the head, knelt down towards the queen mother and others, and said respectfully: "I congratulate the emperor and the queen mother! Xu Cairen is already pregnant for more than a month!"

Hearing the imperial doctor's words, the queen mother immediately beamed with joy, and said with a smile: "Today is really happy! The Ai family not only regained the gold hairpin given to the Ai family by the late emperor, but also got another grandson! The Ai family is so happy! "

The emperor was obviously very happy, and immediately issued an order to reward Xu Cairen.

When Xu Cairen found out that she was pregnant, she was so happy that she didn't know how to react. It was Zhao Nuoqing who was at the side who pushed her lightly, and then she came to her senses and hurriedly thanked the emperor.

However, the rest of the people were not so happy, especially Fu Meiren, who clenched her hands tightly, as if she was about to pinch blood.

Originally, she was the only pregnant concubine in the palace, and everyone's envious eyes were on her, but at this time, not only was the limelight of the gift-giving stolen, even the pregnancy was no longer the only one for her. Eyes are red.

At this time, the kneeling imperial doctor said again: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I have just diagnosed the pulse. Xu Cairen's fetus is not particularly healthy, and the month is too young, so you need to be careful about the pregnancy!"

As soon as the words came out, the Empress Dowager immediately ordered the maids and eunuchs to send Xu Cairen back to her bedroom in a soft sedan chair, and let her have a safe pregnancy so as not to wake up in the morning and evening.

For a moment, Xu Cairen went from being unknown to being the focus of everyone's eyes. She was so happy that she suddenly felt that God treated her well.

Xin Dao is bound to give birth to the baby in her womb safely, and then she will have someone to rely on in the palace!
After Xu Cairen left, all the concubines present were full of depression. Concubine Shu, who was usually the most talkative, also calmed down at this time, drinking alone and drinking.

After all, the Queen Mother was getting old, and she became sleepy after a while, and she also knew that after Xu Cairen's incident, everyone had no intention of continuing the banquet, so everyone dispersed.

After everyone sent the queen mother off, the emperor also got up and left the banquet.

Concubine Wen supported her sick body, and wanted to talk to the emperor, but the emperor walked away in strides, before she could stand up, the emperor had gone far away, unconsciously feeling disappointed and aggrieved, she raised her eyes and glared at the empress who was sitting up , regardless of everyone's eyes, got up and left the table first.

Seeing this, the other concubines had their own thoughts, but they dared not speak, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu was very unhappy. What she liked most was seeing the empress deflated, and she felt extremely happy.

The empress acted as if she couldn't see. After the emperor left, she also got up and left the table, and the other concubines also left the table one after another.

Zhao Nuoqing and the others were about to get up and leave when they saw Han Mingde and Eunuch Han suddenly turned back and walked straight to Zhao Nuoqing.

"Zhao Cairen is overjoyed! The emperor is calling you to sleep in bed tonight!"

Zhao Nuoqing slightly opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief, and immediately reacted, and said to Han Mingde: "Understood, thank you, Eunuch Han!"

Eunuch Han chuckled, turned around and left.

At this moment, Lin Cairen on the side smiled and joked, "Congratulations to Zhao Cairen! Is this a blessing in disguise?"

Zhao Nuoqing smiled, "Sister Lin, don't make fun of me!"

At this time, when Fu Meiren, who had not gone far, turned her head, she saw Han Mingde saying something to Zhao Cairen.

Fu Meiren snorted coldly, what else could Han Mingde say!
It's just calling that foxy girl to sleep again!

It is hard to get rid of her anger at letting her steal the limelight today, if she is allowed to wait in bed again, she will really be ashamed to death if she becomes pregnant with a boy and a half girl in the future!

Fu Meiren's beautiful eyes turned, and suddenly her brows began to wrinkle tightly, one hand suddenly pinched the base of her thigh, and in an instant, a thin layer of sweat was attached to her forehead.

Then, I heard her yelling.

The maid Wen Yuan next to her immediately yelled in fright, "Beauty, what's wrong with you?"

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Fu Meiren's mouth, she clutched her stomach, and said angrily, "I... my stomach hurts! Go and invite the emperor!"

At this time, Han Mingde hadn't gone far, seeing that Fu Meiren was about to sit down on the ground suddenly holding her pregnant belly, and immediately ran to the emperor's side to explain the situation to the emperor.

So, the emperor hurriedly called the sedan chair to send Fu Meiren back to her Yongxiang Pavilion, and passed on the imperial physician.

Fu Meiren held onto the emperor's hand tightly, with thin sweat on her forehead, she looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Your majesty, my concubine is afraid!"

Shen Bochen held Fu Meiren's hand instead and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Fu Meiren almost couldn't hold back her laughter, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Nuoqing who was standing not far away, she couldn't help feeling proud.

Sure enough, the emperor chose her between her and Zhao Cairen!
The sedan chair of the emperor and Fu Meiren walked forward quickly and steadily, Han Mingde looked back at Zhao Cairen, and quickly laughed, "That...Zhao Cairen, today, the emperor is afraid..."

What Han Mingde said was very embarrassing, Zhao Nuoqing saw it, and hurriedly said: "I know! Eunuch Han, don't be embarrassed, the emperor's heir is important, I know it!"

Hearing what Zhao Nuoqing said, Han Mingde suddenly felt relieved, and couldn't help admiring this once unknown Zhao talent.

Knowing the general situation and knowing how to make concessions, the path of Zhao Cairen must not be short!
Han Mingde turned around and went to catch up with the emperor's sedan chair.

At this time, Lin Cairen on the side said angrily: "How come it's such a coincidence that she was fine during the whole banquet, why did she have a stomachache when the emperor told you to serve her bed?"

Zhao Nuoqing looked back at Lin Cairen, and said with a serious look: "Sister, be careful! It's about the emperor's heir, even if she is pretending, we can't talk about it!"
