The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 602 Conspiracy to seize the emperor's heir (3)
Qingchen didn't even want to raise her eyes to look at Concubine Li at this moment, let alone the emperor sitting on the throne. She could understand that he couldn't send Concubine Li away without sufficient evidence, but she couldn't help being angry that he forgave her so quickly.

She was so unhappy during the meal, and even got up to toast, she just stared at the empress's desk, and said those auspicious words mechanically, Xiao Jun ignored her feelings like this, no matter how magnanimous she was, she couldn't bear it .

Seeing that Lin Wanyi was too late to get up to toast, the queen asked, "What's wrong with Lin Wanyi today, I see that you haven't touched your wine glass, but did the imperial doctor tell you not to drink alcohol because you are not feeling well?"

Lin Wanyi's face was a little shy when she heard the words, but she couldn't conceal her joy. She got up and blessed her, and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress, please forgive me. Before the dinner, the concubine did feel a little unwell. Diagnosing the pulse, the imperial doctor said...the concubine has been pregnant for more than a month, and it is not suitable to drink alcohol at this time, so the concubine can only use tea instead of wine to chat with the sisters."

Before she finished speaking, the empress was already beaming with joy, and even said to the emperor a little excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is really God's blessing to me. There are first prince and second prince in the palace, and now Lin Wanyi is pregnant again. Prosperous offspring is a blessing for the country, and my concubines congratulate the emperor."

All the concubines hurriedly followed the queen to stand up and salute: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jun also seemed very happy, and ordered Fu Quan to say: "Go to the imperial doctor to check Lin Wanyi's pulse. I am so happy to hear this news tonight."

The queen is really happy from the bottom of her heart that Lin Wanyi is pregnant. If Lin Wanyi can have a prince by her side, then she will be the mother-in-law. Well, it can be regarded as saved.

The queen can't wait to tell people: "Go and take Tong Shi to have a look."

Zheyue hurriedly dispatched someone to get Tong Shi, but Concubine Li couldn't be happy at all. If Lin Wanyi gave birth to a prince, would the queen use her as much as she does now? In fact, Lin Wanyi's child and the queen's child have different What's the difference?Concubine Li tightly held the armrest of the carved nanmu chair, and was more worried about how to go in the future.

When Qingchen heard that Lin Wanyi was pregnant, she couldn't help feeling a little envious. She always wanted to have a child of her own. There was obviously nothing wrong with her body, but why couldn't she always conceive?
The imperial physician Lou Jing trusted by the empress was ordered to come to take Lin Wanyi's pulse. After taking the pulse, she said to the empress very firmly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Empress, Lin Wanyi is indeed pregnant for more than a month, and her pulse is very obvious. The minister will not make a wrong diagnosis."

After looking through Tongshi, the queen also pointed to a day and said, "Your Majesty, the day is right, it's really great."

Xiao Jun glanced at Qing Chen who had been hanging her head in silence. He always remembered that she wanted a child, so he nodded and said, "It's a happy thing. I think the queen mother will be even happier when she hears about it. Lin Wanyi has contributed to the birth of an imperial heir I will promote her as Guiyi, and the queen will take care of her fetus. The queen has taken care of Xiao Jieyu's fetus and has experience, so she must be able to take good care of Lin Wanyi's body."

The queen readily agreed that even if the emperor didn't say anything, she would never let Lin Wanyi have any problems with this pregnancy. Lin Wanyi is in good health, and the prince in her belly must be very strong."

Lin Wanyi listened to the empress's words, and couldn't help stroking her abdomen with her hand again. There was a little life being conceived there, and this kind of joy was truly incomprehensible to others.The emperor couldn't help the queen's repeated hints, and finally came to stay with her for one night. As a result, she was pregnant by such a coincidence, which really made her feel very lucky.

Concubine Ning said to Qingchen in a tone like watching a show: "You don't have to be so disappointed. With your current favor, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to add a man and a woman to the emperor? What are you afraid of if you are pregnant? If you can give birth It’s the skill, it’s not easy to be pregnant for ten months.”

Qingchen understood what Concubine Ning meant. In ten months, if she wanted to get rid of the child in Lin Wanyi's womb, she had plenty of time to prepare, but she looked up at Concubine Ning firmly and said: "I won't do it, no matter what, I will I will never attack innocent children, this is my bottom line."

This is not only because she understands that the child is also Xiao Jun's. The emperor values ​​the emperor's heir and will not condone the person who harmed the emperor's heir no matter what. More importantly, she can't do it. She really can't do it if the child kills her, and she will have a disturbed conscience.

Concubine Ning looked at her strangely, and suddenly sneered, "Maybe we don't need to do anything, why don't you want to help Lin Wanyi give birth to this child?"

Qingchen said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate me, but you don't need to underestimate me. I don't have the ability to ensure that Lin Wanyi will be safe until she gives birth, and I don't want to worry about that."

Only then did Concubine Ning show a reassuring smile, put a piece of lotus root into her mouth and said, "Tonight's dishes are not bad, I really enjoyed my meal."

In the middle of the banquet, Fuquan said to the empress: "Your Majesty, empress, the sky lanterns for praying are ready. Do you want to put them out now, or after the dinner?"

Xiao Jun thought for a while and said, "Just now, I will release it with my own hands."

Fu Quan hurriedly said: "Yes, the servant knows, so I will go and order people to prepare pens and inks."

Eating Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival and setting off Kongming lanterns to pray for blessings is the custom of Daqian. The night sky is always particularly spectacular on this day every year. Countless Kongming lanterns rise slowly from every household in the capital, and they are beautiful like dots of stars in the dark night.

Xiao Jun led all the concubines out of the Xinhua Hall and went to the open space of the Imperial Garden to set off Kongming lanterns. Besides a huge Kongming lantern, there were also some small Kongming lanterns for the concubines to pray for blessings and make wishes.

The queen was afraid that the road outside would be slippery and that the crowd would hurt Lin Wanyi, so she ordered her not to come out, and personally arranged for two old nuns to stay with her, so she was very careful.

Xiao Jun personally wrote a letter of prayer, put it in the Kongming lantern, lit the candles inside, and slowly released the first Kongming lantern, which was as tall as a person.Carrying the emperor's wish for peace in the world, the huge lantern steadily rose to the sky, drifting farther and farther.

Qingchen's eyes followed the lamp that Xiao Jun let fly all the time. She was in a complicated mood and couldn't get back to her senses for a long time. Just now she was standing beside the emperor, and she clearly saw that he wrote two wishes. I hope that God will bless her and give her a child.

"God will surely grant our wishes." Seeing her standing there full of thoughts, Xiao Jun leaned over and asked with a smile, "Can you show me what you wrote? Maybe you don't need to bother the gods. I can help you make your wish come true."
