Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 499 Martial Arts Practice
There is only one throne, but there is more than one person who wants it.

Fang Feihong's plan was obvious, but the emperor turned a blind eye to it. On the grounds that Concubine Jing was plotting to murder the Dragon Clan, he demoted Concubine Jing from a noble concubine to a concubine and deprived her of jurisdiction over the six palaces. However, the custody of the eleventh prince did not fall into the hands of Concubine Li.

The emperor's move seems to be an indulgence of Concubine Li, but in fact it is a subtle adjustment of the power in the harem. He is well aware of the stability of the power behind Concubine Jing. Even if the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion no longer exists, the power in the dark should not be underestimated.

Lipin's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits just happened to make her a chess piece in this game.

She thought she had a good plan, but she didn't realize that it was all part of the emperor's plan.

"The emperor is trying to scare the tigers out of the mountain, and also to give Concubine Jing a warning." Zhao Wangshu sighed, "Concubine Li thinks she is smart, but she doesn't know that she is just a knife in the hands of others."

"Lipin's shallowness is exactly what the emperor needs. He took advantage of Lipin's jealousy and unwillingness to cleverly balance the various forces in the harem. Although Concubine Jing was demoted, she retained the custody of the eleventh prince. This is both a punishment for her and a kind of appeasement to the forces behind her. After all, the prince is the future of imperial power. Whoever controls the prince, to some extent, holds the bargaining chips for the future." Yun Hao analyzed.

"The emperor's move kills two birds with one stone. It not only weakens the power of Concubine Jing, but also makes Concubine Li the target of public criticism. The situation in the harem will become more complicated and unpredictable. I thought Concubine Li was quite smart, but now it seems that if she can't wake up in time, she will be the first to fall in this struggle." Zhao Wangshu said.

"Let's not talk about irrelevant people. How are you today? Is the baby bothering you?" Yun Hao placed his hand on her newly revealed belly.

"It's only three months, and there's not even any fetal movement. Why would they bother me?" Zhao Wangshu asked with amusement.

"They?" Yun Hao was puzzled.

Zhao Wangshu held up two fingers and said, "The court doctor checked it and it's two."

Yun Hao was startled, then he stepped forward and hugged her gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

"After getting pregnant once, I can have two children. It's reasonable to be a little bit harder." Zhao Wangshu raised the corners of his lips.

Yun Hao's eyes flashed with complex light, with surprise, as well as deep love and worry for Zhao Wangshu, "What else did the palace doctor say?"

"The court doctor said that both children are healthy and the fetuses are stable. They just need to pay more attention to diet and rest. After all, twins will put a greater burden on the mother." Zhao Wangshu told the truth.

Yun Hao listened without saying much, but from that day on, he would personally supervise Zhao Wangshu and the children in terms of diet and daily life to ensure that they were safe.

In order to prevent Zhao Wangshu from worrying too much about Xiao Yunyu, he found two teachers for Xiao Yunyu and asked Zhong Sheng to teach Xiao Yunyu martial arts.

The energetic little Yunyu seems to be born with a spirit of not admitting defeat. He shows great enthusiasm and talent in learning new knowledge and practicing martial arts.

That afternoon, Zhao Wangshu woke up from a nap and was drinking bamboo fungus chicken soup. She took a sip of the soup and the delicious taste instantly blossomed on the tip of her tongue. "This soup is really delicious. The cook's skills are getting better and better. The soup she stewed is very much to my taste."

"The adults found a special recipe for stewing the soup and asked the cook to learn how to make it." Lan Fen said with a smile.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Zhao Wangshu's eyes, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled sweetly.

As the master and servant were talking, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, followed by the clear voice of little Yunyu: "Mother, mother."

"Son, mother is in the east room, please come in." Zhao Wangshu put down the empty bowl and responded loudly.

Little Yunyu ran in sweating profusely, raised his little face, and smiled brightly, "Mom, Yu'er can box now."

"Really? So amazing." Zhao Wangshu smiled with curved eyebrows.

"Mom, come out, I'll call you." Xiao Yunyu reached out to pull her.

Zhao Wangshu stood up and followed him out.

Little Yunyu stood in the yard, with a serious face, and his small body seemed to contain infinite power. He stood firmly on the ground with both feet, raised his hands slowly, and took a starting position.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, onto his tender yet determined face, giving him a layer of golden glow.

Zhao Wangshu looked at him lovingly with a gentle smile on his lips.

"Mom, watch this!" Xiao Yunyu punched forward with both fists, shouting, "Hi."

He was performing a set of basic boxing techniques. Although they were not complicated, every punch and kick looked very realistic. His immature but powerful voice echoed in the yard.

"Good! Yuer is awesome!" Zhao Wangshu applauded and praised, his eyes full of pride and joy.

She didn't expect that in such a short time, Xiao Yunyu could learn this set of boxing techniques and perform it completely.

Lan Fen and other maids also applauded and praised, "The young master is really smart and learns things quickly!" The yard was filled with warmth and joy.

Little Yunyu was embarrassed by everyone's praise, so he ran to Zhao Wangshu and hugged her legs, "Mom."

"Good boy, come here, let me wipe the sweat off your face." Zhao Wangshu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. She held his hand, went back to the east room, poured him a cup of warm water and coaxed him to drink it.

Zhao Wangshu has a considerate husband, a well-behaved son, and occasionally good friends who come to accompany her. Her home life is very comfortable.

But Wu Lin'er's home life was a mess.

What made her even more upset today was that her personal maid came to report to her, "Mrs. Hua has not changed her clothes this month."

Wu Lin'er paused abruptly when she heard this, and the teacup in her hand splashed a few drops onto her delicate embroidered shoes, but she was unaware. "Half a month ago, when I examined Ping'an's pulse, the court doctor did not report that she was pregnant."

"Princess, you also know that the court physician always seeks safety. Half a month ago, the time was still short, and I'm afraid the court physician was not sure. It would be better to let Madam Hua come over and let the court physician diagnose her pulse in front of you." The trusted old woman said on the side.

"Go and ask Madam Hua to come over to me, and then call the court doctor." Wu Lin'er accepted the advice of her trusted maid.

Zhao Jiahua was invited in soon. "I'm here to see the princess. I pay my respects to her."

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Wu Lin'er's eyes swept across her abdomen.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhao Jiahua respectfully sat half of his butt down on the chair.

At this time, the court physician came. As soon as Zhao Jiahua saw the court physician, she knew that she was pregnant. Wu Lin'er also knew about it.

"Please take Mrs. Hua's pulse." Wu Lin'er said directly without beating around the bush.

She hoped that there was something wrong with Zhao Jiahua's health that was why he didn't change his clothes, but the words of the court doctor shattered her hopes.

"Princess, Mrs. Hua has been pregnant for more than a month." The court doctor reported.

"Mrs. Hua is pregnant again. This is good news. Give her a reward." Wu Lin'er pretended to be generous.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhao Jiahua bowed, his lowered eyes full of pride.

Wu Lin'er pretended to show concern for him for a few words and then sent Zhao Jiahua away.

As soon as Zhao Jiahua left, she grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it heavily to the ground. She had been married for so long, but she still hadn't gotten pregnant. Zhao Jiahua was lucky, as she had given birth to the prince's illegitimate daughter, and now she was pregnant again.
