Chapter Ninety-Four: Who Is the Child?
Ming Shiyun was pregnant again for a while, which really made Xiao Jingwu happy, and immediately ordered someone to send a pen and paper, to propose to promote her to one of the four concubines, the queen was also looking at Ming Shiyun with a happy look, but at this time, when she heard that the emperor was going to jump to the rank of Ming Shiyun, and she was directly promoted to the second concubine of the four concubines, she had to kneel down and ask for a decree regardless of the atmosphere at this time.
"Your Majesty, the concubines think this matter is inappropriate."
"What's wrong with that? Concubine Jue has spread the branches for me, and I should reward her well. ”
"What the emperor said is very true, but when the concubine was first pregnant, she had already jumped to the rank and was promoted to the title once as a gift, but the concubine finally failed to give birth to an heir, although she was victimized, but after all, she had already been rewarded, and the concubine felt that this time she really should not jump to the rank and seal again." As she spoke, the queen slowly raised her head, her eyes raised slightly to look at the emperor, and there was nothing to find fault with her words, "The concubines know that the emperor loves the concubines, but after all, the harem still has to have rules." ”
"Then you say, how should I reward it? Today is Concubine Jue's birthday banquet, and with such great good news, I can't just enjoy something. The queen is reasonable, Xiao Jingwu is not too persistent, so he simply threw the problem back, since the queen is in charge of the phoenix seal, she can naturally have the final say in the harem's rewards and punishments.
"The concubines think that if the emperor wants to be promoted to Jue Concubine as a reward, he can be named Jue Gui Concubine, and it just so happens that the position of the noble concubine in the harem is not full, and if she is promoted according to the rank, it is also in line with the rules." The queen smiled slightly, turned her gaze to Ming Shiyun and glanced at it lightly, and then turned back to Xiao Jingwu, "What does the emperor think of the concubines?" ”
"It also makes sense, then let's do it, first seal the Jue concubine as the Jue noble concubine, if you can give birth to the prince for the royal family after August, and then promote the concubine De." Xiao Jingwu nodded, and looked at Ming Shiyun sideways, "What does Concubine Ai think?" ”
"Concubine thank the emperor for the reward." Respectfully kneeling down and bowing in thanksgiving, Ming Shiyun obediently accepted this gift.
Since the conversation did not deliberately lower the voice, all the concubines in the front hall naturally heard it clearly, and after hearing the emperor's last sentence clearly, Concubine Liangshu's face changed several times, and after all, she directly dropped the cup and left, completely forgetting her purpose.
Ming Shiyun didn't care at all or didn't notice Concubine Liang's actions at all, or she didn't have the heart to pay attention to anyone now, and all the sincere or false attention could no longer make her distract from her thoughts, because although being pregnant again made her happy, the time Fang Zhixuan said made her frightened.
About 2 months pregnant......
Absentmindedly catering to everyone, Ming Shiyun tried her best to pretend to be calm, but her mind couldn't help but drift away.
Two months ago was the time of winter hunting, and although she was also pampered by Xiao Jingwu at that time, she had a night of absurdity with Xiao Yingzhe.
That's what scares her the most.
Is this child the emperor's or Xiao Yingzhe's?
It should have been the happiest moment, but Ming Shiyun couldn't help but think about it restlessly, and finally survived until the end of the birthday banquet, because today happened to be the fifteenth day of the month, and according to the palace system, the emperor had to stay in Fengqi Palace, so she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and after sending off all the concubines and concubines to receive the last blessings, she walked to her dormitory without looking back, and didn't even bother to pay attention to Tang Wanyi and Ziling's questions with a little worry.
"What's wrong with the mother? Wasn't it happy before? Why did you suddenly ...... at this time" Lu Rui looked at the situation and seemed to be a little wrong, hesitated for a moment and walked to Ziling's side and asked, because of her relationship as the aunt in charge of Fenghua Palace, she has rarely had the opportunity to serve Ming Shiyun with her, and she was still very unaccustomed to it at the beginning, but now, she can be regarded as handy, so she also has the energy to put more thoughts back on serving and caring for Ming Shiyun.
"I don't know, it is said that today is such a good day, I saw King Qi and Concubine Li again, and I got and conceived the imperial heir, and the birthday banquet was even grander, and the emperor even promised that as long as the prince was born, he could make Niangniang Jin Concubine Defei......" The more Ziling thought about it, the more strange she felt, and the worry was even more overwhelming, but she could only shake her head in confusion, not knowing what to do, "It's really ...... It's weird. ”
"Are you worried that the imperial heir in your womb will be assassinated by someone with a heart?" Midori tilted her head, "I remember that Concubine Liang Shu was so low-key tonight that people almost forgot that she existed. ”
"It's not just low-key, Concubine Liang Shu is the first to go, although she is quiet, but she didn't even do the etiquette of toasting to Niangniang's birthday, it can be seen that Niangniang's good news today makes her angry." Shuya took a sentence slowly, watching the two turn their heads to look at her in surprise, and smiled slowly, "You guys, it's not enough to worry about it, Niangniang is now on the cusp, and when many people are most worried, you should pay attention to all the movements around you, rest assured, it's enough to suffer a loss, Niangniang is now pregnant with the emperor's heir, no matter what, you must keep it, and you must keep it!" ”
"Sook Ya ......"
"Yes, it must be kept, and it must be saved." Tang Wanyi finally turned around and looked at the three of them, different from their worries, she was indeed calm, "You can rest assured, Niangniang will not be so easy to be surprised, and the current situation is also different from when Niangniang was pregnant before, Concubine Hua and Concubine Shu Xian will definitely do their best to keep Niangniang's dragon fetus, and other than that...... There is also the fifth prince Xiao Yingzhe, Concubine Liang Shu wants to come again, but it is not so easy. ”
Ming Shiyun didn't know anything about all the discussions outside, she just fell back to her bed, covering her head with a quilt as if she were evasive, and her mood was extremely complicated.
When she was thinking wildly, the quilt was suddenly lifted, and a familiar and hateful voice that she didn't want to hear now approached Ming Shiyun's ear.
"Kid...... Is it mine? ”
"You!" Ming Shiyun sat up in shock, looked at Xiao Yingzhe, who was so bold that she dared to break into the harem concubine's dormitory in the middle of the night, and looked around uneasily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" How dare you come here? ”
"I dare to come, naturally I am confident that I will not be discovered." Xiao Yingzhe seemed to think that Ming Shiyun's reaction was very interesting now, so she simply sat on the edge of the bed and lifted the quilt, raised her hand to stroke Ming Shiyun's cheek, "You haven't answered me yet, is the child mine?" Jue ...... Mother ...... Scold. ”
"...... you" Xiao Yingzhe asked the question that Ming Shiyun had been thinking about all night, and she was chased after her at this time, and she was even more undecided, but no matter how she doubted, she should always have a set of rhetoric, "You don't think about it, since the one in my womb is the emperor's heir, of course it is the emperor's child, how can it be yours?" ”
"How could it not be? Shiyun, no one understands better than you why it might be mine, right? I think this speculation is really flawless......" Saying this, Xiao Yingzhe simply reached out and touched Ming Shiyun's belly, which was not pregnant and could not see any traces, "I really can't imagine that since you have my child...... It was an unexpected surprise. ”
couldn't bear to clap her hands and open Xiao Yingzhe's hand, and Ming Shiyun's eyes finally changed from uneasy and panic to anger.
"Xiao Yingzhe, you bastard! You're less self-indulgent! The person who pampered me every night is the emperor, and this child is naturally the emperor, as for you...... Hum! ”
"Oops, you look so good when you're angry." casually shook the hand that was slapped away, Xiao Yingzhe responded to Ming Shiyun's angry eyes, but teased her more and more excessively, "My father is not the only one who climbed into your bed, didn't I love you well?" Count the two-month pregnancy, and it will be just the right time. ”
"You're just inexplicable, isn't it important that this kid is yours and not yours? Sneaking into my dormitory in the middle of the night is a matter of this kind of thing. Qi Yan snorted disdainfully, Ming Shiyun turned her head away and stopped looking at him, "This kid has nothing to do with you, I'm very tired today and want to rest, so you can get out." ”
"Hehe, if you don't have doubts, there's no need to put on such an aggressive attitude towards me." Seeing through Ming Shiyun's mind at a glance, Xiao Yingzhe was very happy, "It seems that you also think that this child is mine, right?" Since this child is in your belly, then your intuition should be the most accurate, tsk, what a surprise. ”
"Xiao Yingzhe, are you enough?!"
"So angry? Why don't I stay with you tonight and let you dissipate your anger? ”
"You!" Ming Shiyun was shocked and angry, and reached out to push him hard, "Don't make trouble, do you think this is still the Royal Palace where you can come and go at will?" Why don't you leave while no one notices? If you want to die, I don't want to die with you! ”
Xiao Yingzhe seemed to be completely unmoved, with a casual flirtatious smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand to suppress Ming Shiyun: "Don't worry, there are already a lot of my people in Fenghua Palace, you and I can enjoy tonight to the fullest, and celebrate our soon-to-be-born child." ”
"You! You're ...... You ......"
"I'm for your own good, how can I protect you if I don't put my people in? Do you want to have another miscarriage? ”
"Hmph, I think I'm just making excuses." Ming Shiyun snorted coldly, obviously not accepting Xiao Yingzhe's statement, "I don't believe your words, I think you are really cowardly, do you want to climb into my bed before your father dies?" ”
"It's not the first time anyway, what's the matter?" Leaning down a little hard to press Ming Shiyun under him, Xiao Yingzhe smiled faintly, "Okay Shiyun, don't you think that for a moment of Spring Festival that is worth a thousand gold, you really have a lot of words, which is very ruinous to the atmosphere?" ”
