Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 138 Pregnancy caused a sensation in the harem court

That day I had been having lunch with Mingqi in Chengming Palace before returning to Yanfu Palace, Mingqi personally sent me back, he stayed with me in Yanfu Palace for a long time before leaving.

Ming Qi left, but left Qi He and Fang Hao behind.

In this regard, the public said that I was pregnant, and I was worried that Ayun alone would not be able to take care of me, so I asked Qi He and Fang Hao to stay and take care of me.

And after Fang Hao and Qihe stayed, there would be no need to worry about being spotted when Qihe and Fang Hao called me master outside.

But in this way, the news of my pregnancy immediately spread throughout the harem and the ruling and opposition parties.

And just as Qihe said, the child I am carrying is Mingqi's first child.

From the 11th year of Minghe to the 16th year of Minghe now, Mingqi has been in power for six years.

During the six years that Ming Qi had been in power, his ability as an emperor was undeniably strong enough to convince the courtiers, but the fact that he had no heirs for a long time was a heart problem for the courtiers.

It's just that although the courtiers were anxious, my father Qiu Lu and Chang Yinghou Meng Qingcheng, who are the heads of the officials, had never urged Mingqi, so they dared not play the urged Mingqi without authorization.

It's just that, as time goes by, they become more anxious and concerned about the heirs of Ming Qi.

Therefore, when the news that I was pregnant was spread, it immediately caused quite a stir in the court. While making those anxious courtiers happy, they were finally relieved.

"Your Majesty, Empress Concubine De is here."

The commotion outside the imperial court has nothing to do with me because I can't face it directly.

But the commotion in the harem was something I couldn't avoid.

So when Ayun told me that Li Wan came to my Yanfu Palace and said she wanted to see me outside Yanfu Palace, I was not surprised at all.

"Please come in." I nodded and said to Ayun.

"No." Ayun took the order and left.

Li Wan was quickly brought in by A Yun, but she was not the only one who came in, Qi Xiayun was also behind her.

"The concubine has met the concubine De and Qi Zhaoyi."

Both Li Wan and Qi Xiayun were higher than me, after they entered, I greeted them and saluted them.

"Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it, sister Zhaorong please hurry up." But when I was halfway through the salute, Li Wan immediately stepped forward and grabbed my hands to stop me.

"Sister Zhaorong's body is not as good as before. You must be careful, but you must not be tired." Li Wan stopped me and said.

After that, she helped me up and looked at me worriedly, as if she was afraid that I would be tired from saluting to her just now, and that it would be bad for the child in my stomach.

"Speaking of troubles, I heard that pregnant people are very prone to sleepiness. If they don't get enough sleep, it will affect the baby in the stomach. How about this, sister Zhaorong won't have to salute when she sees Bengong in the future, every morning There is no need to go to my palace to pay my respects anymore, so you can rest in your palace for a little longer with Sister Zhaorong." Li Wan said to me with a worried expression on her face.

I listened to Li Wan's words, which sounded like they were kind to me and my baby, and smiled, and followed the strength in Li Wan's hand, and got up.But as for what she said, she didn't need to salute after seeing her, but he didn't intend to take it seriously.

After all, the harem concubine rank is strict, if I really don't salute her, someone will say that I disrespect Li Wan, the head of the harem, and ignore Li Wan just because I have a Mingqi child.

I am not afraid of being misunderstood and gossiping, nor afraid of being said that I am arrogant because of being favored, but I am worried that such rumors will bring trouble to Mingqi and Meng Qingcheng.

Therefore, even if it is for Mingqi and Meng Qingcheng, as long as I am one day lower than Li Wan in the next meeting, I will bow to her for an extra day.

As for what she said about not having to go to her palace to pay her respects in the morning, Mingqi actually told me that when he left my Yanfu Palace, he would personally order it to go down.

And since Mingqi personally gave the order, I don't have to worry about being gossiped by others after hearing it.

"Meng Zhaorong's body is special now, so when we meet in the future, you don't need to pay attention to these polites." Qi Xiayun also smiled at me after Li Wan's words, and said gently.

And she was looking at my stomach while talking.

It's just that those eyes were not full of curiosity, on the contrary, there was more meaning of inquiry.

But because Qi Xiayun didn't have any malicious intentions after all, so I didn't cover or stop her, but just let her watch as much as she wanted.

After I got up, I ordered Dongchun to serve tea to Li Wan and Qi Xiayun, and at the same time invited me to sit down on the chair in the main room, while I was helped by Ah Yun to get off the main seat and sat down.

"By the way, I don't know if the two sisters came to my Yanfu Palace today, but why?" After sitting down, I asked Li Wan and Qi Xiayun.

I actually knew in my heart that Li Wanqi and Xia Yun must have come here for the child in my womb, but whether they came for food or evil, I had no way of knowing, that's why I asked this question.

"Hey, it's not that I heard that Sister Zhaorong has a child. I was so happy that I couldn't hold back and came here immediately. I wanted to see Sister Zhaorong." Li Wan shook her head and waved her hands at my words and said with a smile.

"But I came here without saying hello, didn't I disturb Sister Zhaorong's rest?" Li Wan turned to me after speaking, with a sincere look on her face that she would disturb me.

"No." After hearing Li Wan's words, I immediately shook my head and said, even if I really disturbed you, I wouldn't say it.

"Ms. De Concubine can come to see Qingqing in person, Qingqing is too happy to be happy, just say if there will be any interruption." After I finished speaking, I said again, what I said just like what Li Wan just said didn't matter whether it was true or not.

"It's fine if you don't disturb me, it's fine if you don't disturb me." Li Wan smiled when she heard me say that she didn't disturb me, as if she was relieved.

"Sister Zhaorong is the emperor's first child. This is a big happy event this year, but it must not be neglected." Li Wan said again.

When I heard the words, I continued to smile at her, but didn't answer.

Afterwards, Li Wan asked me about my body and the condition of my fetus. After hearing me that the imperial physician had made a diagnosis and said that everything was fine, she seemed relieved again.

Afterwards, she told me many times what to pay attention to during pregnancy, and asked me whether there were enough manpower in the palace, whether she should send more people to take care of me, and so on.

Although I couldn't figure out the real purpose of Li Wan's visit to me today, when I saw that she had been chatting with me under the banner of caring for me, I patiently answered her questions one by one, echoing her with a smile from time to time .

But Qi Xiayun, she didn't say anything when Li Wan was talking.

I saw that she had been watching me and Li Wan talking with a slight smile, her eyes were gentle and patient, if it wasn’t for her probing eyes looking at my stomach from time to time, I would have suspected that she was just following Li Wan as a foil .

Li Wan, Qi Xiayun and Xia Yun have been in my Yanfu Palace for nearly half an hour before going back. Before going back, Li Wan repeatedly told me to pay attention to rest, saying that she would let the imperial dining room cook more tonics for me Something, as if she really only came to Yanfu Palace because she cared about me.

"By the way, hasn't Chang Ruoguan been released from confinement yet?"

After Li Wanqi and Xia Yun left, I remembered Chang Ruo who hadn't come with them, so I suddenly turned my head and asked Qi He Fangzhen who was coming in.

Chang Ruo was ordered by Mingqi to be locked up for three months, but according to her weight in Mingqi's heart and the influence of my father Qiulu in the court, I don't think Mingqi will really lock her up for three months. months.

"Master, not yet." Qi He shook his head after my words.

"Of course not." Fang Hao also replied.

"At the beginning, the emperor heard what the master sent someone to pass on, and when he knew that Qiu Jieyu was disrespectful to you, the master, he was very angry, so he not only imprisoned Qiu Jieyu for three months in confinement, but also directly ordered that no one is allowed to give it to you. Qiu Jieyu begged for mercy, or I will be punished with the same crime." Fang Yan said again, with an angry look on his face because he remembered Chang Ruo's disrespect to me before.

"The emperor didn't intend to release Qiu Jieyu so soon. Now that he knows that you are the master, he will naturally not release Qiu Jieyu so easily." Qi He also said.

"I see." I nodded when I heard the words, and I would be happy to see Chang Ruo being locked up for a longer period of time.

And in the evening, Zhang Shuyue, who has been staying in Chuxiu Palace, also came to see me.

The last time Zhang Shuyue asked me to help her avoid sleeping with Mingqi, she couldn't hide it from Mingqi.Almost when Ming Qi and I returned to Yanfu Palace that night, Ming Qi investigated the whole story clearly.

But at that time, Mingqi was caught by me, and I had no time to talk to Zhang Shuyue, so I didn't ask anyone to punish Zhang Shuyue.

And after that night, no matter whether Yi Mingqi really wanted Zhang Shuyue to sleep with him or not, according to his usual proud temperament, coupled with his man's self-esteem, after he knew that it was Zhang Shuyue who didn't want to sleep with him, he would But no matter how angry Zhang Shuyue was in his heart because he dared to plot against him as the emperor, he would naturally not do anything to force Zhang Shuyue.

On the other hand, Zhang Shuyue, because I helped her escape the incident of serving Mingqi last time, so Zhang Shuyue, who was already very grateful to me, was even more grateful to me, and her relationship with me was more sincere than before. My contacts are also more frequent and intimate than before.

So when she knew that I had Mingqi's child, when she congratulated me, the smile on her face was obviously more sincere than that of Li Wan and Qi Xiayun.

"Qingqing, congratulations." Zhang Shuyue congratulated me sincerely.

"Thank you." Seeing this, I sincerely thanked Zhang Shuyue.No matter what kind of mood and purpose I had when I helped Zhang Shuyue many times, but when facing Zhang Shuyue's sincere congratulations, I would understand her affection in my heart.
