Long Harem Road

Chapter 45

"Participate in the emperor." Qingmei, who was guarding the door, said hello. Baozhu knew that the emperor was coming, so she hurried out of the inner room to greet her. Qingmei returned to Cuiluxuan a few days ago and continued to be her maid of honor.

Baozhu felt sensitively that Qingmei, who came back again, was more respectful to her, a little less coping, and a little more sincere. She always thought it was the emperor's reason, but she didn't realize that it was her respect for the servants that was the reason. The root of Qingmei's determination.

"Bao'er is heavy, so you don't need to be polite." Zhao Zhen strode into the hall, pulled her over before Bao Zhu could salute, and sat on the side of the bed with his arms around her waist.Huanxi and others retreated wisely and closed the door.

Because Baozhu had a big belly, she leaned on the bed and leaned on the bed. The emperor bent down, put his palms on his big belly, and pressed his head lightly, "Baby, my father has been busy with government affairs these days. I will see you in the future. I wonder if my father is there yet." ?”

Baozhu twitched the corner of her mouth, probably because she felt ashamed for not dealing with the murderer behind the scenes.The baby in the belly kicked it hard, Baozhu smiled softly, and Zhao Zhen said excitedly, "Hehe, so filial!"

The next day, the emperor left early, and Nanny Li, who was waiting for Baozhu to change her clothes, saw the redness and swelling on her body. Thinking of the movement last night, she beat around the bush and reminded Baozhu to pay attention to her body.

After lunch, Baozhu leaned on the soft couch, listened to Joyful reading, had prenatal education, and went into the inner room happily, "Mother, there is news from outside that Concubine Wei Gui is about to give birth."

"Oh?" Baozhu waved her hand, and the joy stopped, "Well, she is also due, when did it start?"

"I heard that it started early in the morning. The empress sent someone to wait outside the Qianqing Palace. After the emperor's morning court, he went to Changle Palace."

"Well, Concubine Wei's baby is well protected, good news should come soon, let's go down."

Huanxi, Huanxi raised their heads cautiously, saw that the master looked calm and not angry, let out a sigh of relief, let go of their hanging hearts, looked at each other and smiled, they were afraid that the master would be overwhelmed and hurt their bodies.

Baozhu noticed their small movements, and felt warm in her heart, how could there be no other princes and princesses born in this harem, instead of getting angry here, it's better to grasp the emperor's heart, give birth to a few more, and teach them well.

"Happy, let's continue." Baozhu moved her body, gently stroked her lower abdomen, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"Yes." Huanxi continued to read the art of war book in his hand, Huanxi retreated, Baozhu listened, listened, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Baozhu woke up again, and an hour had passed. Seeing that the master had woken up happily, she happily said, "Madam, let me tell you, the emperor is the best for the master. The emperor came right after you fell asleep."

Baozhu was taken aback when she heard that, she didn't expect the emperor to come, she thought for a while and said, "Concubine Wei gave birth?"

Joy faded away, with a depressed expression, and said cautiously, "Go back to your mother, she gave birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe."

Baozhu smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is very happy. After all, you have got another prince, and he is a healthy prince. This is the only healthy prince so far."

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that the emperor still likes the little master the most. The emperor stayed here with you for a while, and finished reading all the books that this servant has not finished.", Huanxi hurriedly explained.

"Okay, I'm fine, I have a healthy baby in my womb, why are you envious of others?" Baozhu blinked and said with a smile.

Huanxi saw that the master really didn't care, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and secretly felt worthless for his master. A woman like the master should not be regarded as a treasure if she marries any man. She loves her in every possible way, but the master is now the emperor's woman.

"Master, this servant has given you the pulse. I am [-]% sure that your child is definitely a prince." Joyfully diverted Baozhu's attention and continued.

Bao Zhu is noncommittal, in fact, she loves both boys and girls as long as it is her own baby, but born in this dynasty, and in the palace where there is right and wrong, she hopes to be a prince.

Girls are fine too, but she doesn't like her daughter to be born in such an era when men are superior to women, and she bows her knees to please men. Even the royal princess cannot escape this sad fate.

"There's no need to say these words again. When the fruit is ripe, you will know it naturally. Do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The next day, the emperor showed up at Cuiluxuan on time, holding a book and patiently giving prenatal education to the baby. Baozhu always felt that Zhao Zhen was a little awkward, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

"The concubine has not yet congratulated the emperor, she is happy to have Lin'er." Baozhu smiled and congratulated the emperor. She is really not jealous. With Concubine Wei's prince in front of her, she will give birth to a healthy baby, and it will not be too much. It's too eye-catching.

Zhao Zhen's mood was a little complicated. Seeing that Baozhu was the same as before, without any jealousy, he was relieved, but felt stuffy in his heart, as if blocked by a ball of cotton, and had difficulty breathing.

Seeing Baozhu's sincere and bright eyes, he felt a mixed feeling of guilty conscience and bitterness. He really wanted to hold Baozhu and tell her that what he loved most was her and the baby in her belly, but he felt that Baozhu didn't care. Very sour.

"Bao'er, Concubine Wei gave birth to a prince, you, don't you mind at all?" The emperor looked at Baozhu, and asked without saying anything quickly.

"Your majesty, look at what you said, the concubine has her own baby in her stomach, and the emperor's love, how can she have the energy to think so much?" Baozhu gently touched her belly, said delicately, but carefully glanced at her eyes. Your majesty, don't know.

What does the emperor mean?Baozhu naturally knew that although Concubine Wei was in a high position, her family background was not obvious, her father was just an idle servant of the Ministry of Rites, and her older brother was not outstanding, even if she had a prince, she was not enough to fight against the queen.

That's why the emperor quickly promoted her to a high position, just to fight against the empress together with the imperial concubine.

So, what does it mean when the emperor asks her if she minds?Although her family background is better than that of Concubine Wei, her status is not as good as Concubine Wei's. The two of them are not the same. Does the emperor mean that the two of them should restrain each other?

Baozhu, who is used to conspiracy theories, thinks too much again, but it is not aimless, this is the original intention of the emperor, but after realizing the special feelings for Baozhu, he made a slight change to protect her.

The emperor was at a loss for words for a moment, he obviously felt that something was wrong with Bao'er's words, but he couldn't speak, he just felt heavy in his heart and a little unhappy.

"Your majesty, are you tired, do you want to rest for a while?" Baozhu leaned on the bed, seeing the emperor stroking her belly in a daze, reminded her.

"Hehe, it's okay, let's rest when Bao'er is tired, I will go back to Qianqing Palace later." The emperor smiled, trying to drive out the depression in his heart.

"The concubine is fine, the emperor finally came, and the concubine naturally wants the emperor to accompany her, so please stay a little longer." Baozhu blinked her eyes, speaking love words without blushing.

Zhao Zhen was in a good mood suddenly, and the corners of his mouth turned upwards. Bao'er probably hoped for my company. The unhappiness in his heart dissipated, and he worked harder to interact with the baby in his stomach.

"Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request from my concubine." Baozhu felt that the Emperor was in a good mood, so she hugged the Emperor's hand and said coquettishly.

"Bao'er, please tell me." Zhao Zhen grabbed her soft and boneless little hand and manipulated it. After several months of nourishment, his Bao'er became more and more round, soft and comfortable to hold.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow the three princes will wash three times, and the concubine's mother will enter the palace. Only when she raises a child will she know her parents' kindness. The concubine has never seen her mother since she was pregnant. I really miss her very much. I don't know if I can accommodate her. I will see my mother tomorrow." .”

Zhao Zhen thought of Bao'er's pregnancy, so many things have happened, he missed his family, a little taste, but also felt distressed, "Bao'er is now in the imperial concubine position, so he can summon his family, if he thinks about it later, he will do so.

Just send someone to tell the queen. After the three banquets tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to bring your mother over. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Even so, the rules are there. It's not good for a concubine to be too independent. He summons his family every three days, and he can't be said to be arrogant because of being favored by others." Baozhu laughed.

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense, my Bao'er has the capital of being favored and proud, but she keeps her own place and is very lovable. Whoever dares to gossip, I will not forgive you lightly." Zhao Zhen joked pretending to be angry.

"Your Majesty, if you pamper her like this again, your concubine will really be spoiled." Baozhu said with a smile. During this period of time, she has also seen that the Emperor is very indulgent to her, and she just wants to test it further. Your majesty, is it true or false? How deep is this affection.

"Bao'er has my backing, as long as I don't hurt my heirs, I will always spoil Bao'er." The emperor held Baozhu, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, this is his guarantee, his affirmation of Bao'er .

Baozhu was startled, she hurriedly turned her eyes away, and changed the subject, how long can the emperor's guarantee last? When the newcomer enters the palace, all these will probably be thrown to Java Island, and she said coquettishly, "Oh, your majesty, The baby is kicking the concubine again."

Zhao Zhen's eyes deepened, he was a little annoyed, but he couldn't get angry, he sighed slightly in his heart, Bao'er wrapped his heart very thickly, reached out to touch her belly, and said along the words, "Be good, baby, don't Toss the mother concubine."

Baozhu smiled softly, almost bewildered by the emperor's tenderness, that concubine had just given birth to a son, and this concubine hugged another concubine and talked sweetly, it was really 'love like the sea'.
