The empress fainted when she returned from the Palace.
The queen is pregnant.
Two explosive pieces of news spread through the imperial harem. Amidst all the harem concubines' happiness, surprise, and mixed feelings, they informed the palace maid that the gifts prepared would go to the harem to congratulate them and the empress dowager's fiancée decree would also be issued. During this period of time, no one was allowed to go to the Kunning Palace to disturb the Empress.
Those who didn't want to come yet had to come all let go of their worries. ”Pick them up carefully, wait for empress to have a baby before sending them over.”
Such a big piece of news would always make people want to discuss about it. Thus, those with lower rankings would get higher ones, and those who were normally chatting would gather and discuss about it.
”That won't do. Let's go see the Empress.” When the Imperial Lower Consort Liu told the Imperial Lower Consort Yang, she did not even have the time to be happy for the Empress Dowager. She didn't even know the details, so for some reason, she guessed that she was going to die from anxiety.
”The Esteemed Empress Dowager has already sent out their orders, if we still go at this time, isn't it a crime against the wind? If you displease Esteemed Empress Dowager, I still need you to take care of everything for us. ” The Imperial Lower Consort Yang said, ”It's only right for me to be more cautious. Don't scare yourself, the Empress has a great fortune, everything will definitely be fine.”
”We will send two girls to Kunning Palace to ask palace maid.” The Imperial Lower Consort Yang said, ”They know each other, and they can speak a few words. Let's not ask about anything else, as long as we can be sure that the empress is alright.”
”Right, right, right.” Right, right. The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said, ”Then let's do it.”
”Now the good days of Imperial Lower Consort Zheng will come to an end.” ”With His Majesty's favor, he is able to put on airs in front of the empress. Recently, he has been feeling unwell. The Empress and the imperial physician go to the Salty Fortune Palace day after day, but not a single one of them fart.”
”She was lucky, and coincidentally ran into a conflict between His Majesty and the empress.” Imperial Consort Guo said indifferently, ”Who cares about what happens in the future. It's worth it for her to become the successor for a month, and not many people in the palace will be able to obtain her in their entire lives.”
She was the one who slept the most in the harem, but now that the empress was pregnant, she had no news. My child, when will you be coming? Do you know how hard it was for your mother to wait for you?
”However, empress's pregnancy has just been diagnosed and is about to end, so I'm afraid that the situation isn't good.” Another beauty said, ”Leaving aside the fact that His Majesty has not been to the Kunning Palace this month, if I were to be called by an older sister right in front of His Majesty by someone who is from Imperial Lower Consort Zheng, I wouldn't be able to feel at ease no matter what.”
”It's not good for the child in the womb to be so depressed.”
”I still wish that empress's life can go smoothly.” ”Sometimes, there are some things that are so strange. When the harem is stained with rain and dew, no one gets pregnant, but there is one that managed to get pregnant, and it's just that there is one that is lucky in Imperial Lower Consort Lan.
”But doesn't empress look like someone who would make a move on his son?” Sun Mei said with a puzzled expression.
”It's not like I said empress was the culprit.” ”The empress and His Majesty are young husband and wife, and it's the right year. Perhaps it's because they want the Empress to help them, so the other people in the palace should have the chance to live. It's all destined to happen in the underworld. ”
”If only that's the case.” Sun Yige said. What did the son of the palace maid look forward to? One was for the love of the Emperor, and the other was for his own child.
”At that time, it will definitely be the Empress who obtains the Little Prince first. We can also help take care of the Little Prince.” said the beauty. In that moment, everyone gathered around Imperial Consort Guo and discussed their future, as if they would be pregnant tomorrow.
Zhou Yuting went to the Salty Fortune Palace, and the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng looked at her. ”I thought everyone would run away from my place. What are you doing here again? ”
”The Empress has underestimated me.” Zhou Yuting said, ”I am a villainous person, but I also have a bit of sincerity.”
”There are very few people in the imperial harem who are used to seeing me. If the Empress doesn't mind my sincerity, I will naturally have to lead the charge and follow the Empress's lead.”
The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng sneered, ”It doesn't matter, there are a lot of people who don't like me in the imperial palace.”
”Is everyone in the harem watching me make fun of?” Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked. She was still lying on the bed with her hands on her stomach, as if she was the one who was being nurtured.
”Why must you laugh at the Empress?” Zhou Yuting said, ”Now that empress is pregnant, and not some other concubine, what's more, could it be that if empress is pregnant, the Empress will lose her favor?”
”You're a smart person.” The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng laughed and said, ”The harem is always filled with envious people, the laughing people have nothing to laugh about, they just have to fight over what they want, neither fight nor snatch it, and then when others have it, they just say it secretly.”
”Only someone like him who has no backbone would I look down on and disdain being the enemy of others. He is just like an ant. If I were to use my fingers, I would no longer be an eyesore in front of him.”
”They are all waiting to see my joke. I'll let them see what a Holy Pet is.” Imperial Lower Consort Zheng had just been given the title of a concubine and now that she had received the love of her majesty, she didn't think too highly of the Empress being pregnant.
When she was sleeping, Her Majesty didn't even go to the Kunning Palace, so how could she show respect to Wang Rong and her heart?
In addition, Wang Rong was indulging her like a good person.
So what if she was the empress? The harem was a place to live according to His Majesty's wishes anyway.
After Zhu Yijun left, Wang Rong didn't fall asleep either. Looking at the canopy, his mind kept thinking about the words of his majesty, ”We love you.”
Covering her heart with both hands, she didn't doubt that His Majesty's words were false. She was like a split personality, and as she spoke, her heart was pounding, while telling herself that the Emperor's love was different from what she thought it was.
At least love was the only exclusivity he didn't understand.
Wang Rong He's smile disappeared from his lips, and he was extremely self-deprecating, 'What's wrong with me?' Even though she knew that he didn't understand, she was still extremely moved by his words.
