There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 298 Pregnancy
The news spread throughout the palace as soon as it came and went.

The palace people all felt sorry for the empress, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously, they could only secretly despise the sentimental emperor in private.

"Oh, how good the emperor was to the empress in the past, but now..."

"Isn't it? The empress is pregnant and can no longer serve her. After all, the emperor still remembered the old love. You must know that the emperor personally welcomed the concubine Xian into the palace. Even the empress did not receive such treatment."

"I'm just a bit unworthy for the empress. What do you say is the only favor, and I specifically let it be moved to the Jinhua Palace. Is this the so-called sole favor?" The outspoken court lady defended Tang Wanning.

A bunch of people immediately agreed, but it didn't work after all.

It was not their turn to intervene in the matter between the emperor and the empress, and in the end they could only break up as a group of people sighing.

Tang Wanning felt that she should play a full set of plays, so...she took Biyue Biluo to the Imperial Garden.

With her efforts, the news spread in the palace wave after wave that the empress was so distressed that she wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake in the imperial garden.

At that time, Tang Wanning was sitting on the soft couch in front of the west window, eating the big and sweet apricots picked from the stubble, and listening to the rumors that Biyue heard back with great interest, and the master and servant would let out a relaxed and happy smile from time to time .

"That's good. It's just a play and a trap. The emperor cheated on him and betrayed the pregnant queen. The queen was in pain. Isn't this the classic content in the storybook?"

"This is also human nature. If the master is calm and calm, is it abnormal?" Bi Yue smiled.

Tang Wanning nodded and said nothing more.

The days in late spring and early summer are already a bit hot, and Tang Wanning's stomach is already six or seven months old, and it is very big.

The hotter weather made her more lazy and active, sleeping from morning to noon every day, and then from noon to night, and she still slept well at night.

Biyue Biluo was afraid that she would have trouble sleeping, so she just made a lot of fresh jokes and told her, it was a bit like a playful kiss in colorful clothes.

In the end, it didn't work, and she even called Mrs. Tang into the palace to accompany her. With her mother chatting beside her, Tang Wanning felt that her narcolepsy had improved a lot.

Just when he had a chance to catch his breath, a shocking news suddenly came.

"Reporting to the emperor, the concubine Xian has been nauseous and retching since she woke up this morning. The imperial doctor came and found out that it was the Xi pulse. She has been pregnant for more than a month."

The little eunuch was very unfamiliar, at first glance he belonged to Concubine Xian, and if Tang Waning guessed correctly, the so-called imperial physician should also belong to them.

After several changes in Tang Wanning's face, a forced smile appeared.

"This is a good thing. If Concubine Xian can give birth to a son and a half for the emperor, then her merits and demerits will be equalized, and the confinement will almost be lifted."

"Since this is the case, let the imperial physician take a look and take care of it. If anything goes wrong, I will ask for you."

"Yes, thank you Empress!"

The little eunuch ran out quickly, Biyue Biluo was very angry.

"Master, even if you can't startle the enemy and reveal the other party's true colors, then you can always sarcasm. If I want to tell you, you can pretend to be jealous and heartbroken and scold them severely. That's not a bad thing." .”

Tang Wanning smiled faintly.

"That's not my style, the way I forced myself to smile just now is fine!"

"Concubine Xian is delicate and suspicious. If I make a fuss, maybe she will see my flaws, otherwise I will force myself to smile."

Biyue Biluo stopped talking.

……

After the news of Concubine Xian's pregnancy broke out, the entire harem was dumbfounded.

"Tsk tsk tsk, for more than a month, it seems that the virtuous concubine has already hooked up with the emperor. She is really shameless. I don't have such a virtuous concubine in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"That's right, what is it to take advantage of others' danger?"

Someone quietly persuaded: "Let's forget it, after all, the concubine Xian is pregnant with a child, and the empress does not know whether the womb is a boy or a girl. If it is a man and a woman, the concubine Xian can do it one step at a time." It's going to heaven"

"That's right, let's say a few words less."

When Tang Wanning did a full set of plays, Xia Houjing could only do a full set.

Every day when he went to court, he went back to the Imperial Study Room to review papers in the morning, and went to Concubine Xian to accompany her in the afternoon.

Given that Concubine Xian and the Emperor had been close before, it was inevitable that Xia Houjing would reveal her secrets. Xia Houjing never took the initiative to get close to her, and Concubine Xian felt that she was sorry for the Emperor.

She was full of guilt and at the same time evasive, so Concubine Xian really didn't notice anything unusual.

Days go by like this, and summer is coming.

Tang Wanning's delivery period is in June and July, and there is at most one more month to go, she is so heavy that she can't sleep.

I can only force myself to come out for a walk every day.

While supporting the big willow tree by the pond of Jinhua Palace, she sighed: "I'm really old, I'm really not as good as before, I'm really tired from walking all the way now."

"Your Majesty, you are pregnant. When the little prince is born safely, your physique will surely recover quickly."

Tang Wanning always looked at the southern sky at this time.

"There is still more than a month to be born. He said he would come back. How long have I not seen him? I can hardly remember myself."

"Didn't the emperor just write last night, master, you are too sad now, but... this place is really cool, if you like it, you can sit for a while longer."

Biyue and Biluo talked to each other and chirped, and the small garden was very lively.

When there is a lot of excitement around a person, she can't think of other troubles.

After all, there were really not many worries. Xia Houjue wrote to say that he had collected all the evidence of the Meng family, and the next step was simple and brutal suppression.

It is not difficult for him to bring so many generals, and it is impossible to lose in the final decisive battle.

Everything is going well for him, and there is hope that he will be back when the baby is born, which is great.

Especially Xia Houjue's last sentence: "Wanwan, tell the child to wait for me, and wait for me to come back and regenerate."

This sentence made Tang Wanning dumbfounded. The cool wind by the pond was blowing gently, and she was still in a good mood.

You said to make me wait, so I will wait honestly. If you can't come back on time, see how I will deal with you.

After much deliberation, Tang Wanning left with Biyue Biluo after the ventilation was over.

She didn't know what kind of longing eyes there were behind her own. Those eyes were full of jealousy and cruelty, as if she could kill the other party if she stared hard.

……

Concubine Xian stroked her three-month pregnant belly with complicated emotions.

That woman is not much better than her after all, why should all the good things in the world be given to her first.

Especially the emperor, he obviously loves himself.

Haha, Tang Wanning, one day I will let you know that no one is worthy of Xia Houjue except me.
