Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs

Chapter 15 Emperor and Empress vs. Duke's Heir

She was promoted three ranks on her first day of serving the emperor, and she had just become pregnant with his child.

The daughter of a mere Censor-in-Chief was promoted six ranks in less than two months after entering the palace, reaching the rank of Consort Wan, a fourth-grade official.

This is a rare sight in the imperial harem.

How many people feel this is unfair?

Even high-ranking consorts like Consort De and Consort Shu couldn't hold back any longer. They all went to Fengwu Palace, hoping that the Empress could step forward and advise the Emperor that such a promotion was against the rules.

She had only just become pregnant and hadn't even given birth yet, but she had already reached the fourth rank.

If she gives birth to a prince, wouldn't she be promoted to the rank of imperial concubine immediately?

One reason why they rose to the rank of concubine and fought in the harem for over a decade was partly due to their powerful family backgrounds.

Why did Mei Xiyao get it so easily?

The Empress sneered inwardly. She thought her rank was too low and that it would be better to make her a concubine directly.

"If you have nothing to do, try to share His Majesty's burdens instead of always focusing on other people's small plots of land."

The autumn hunt is in two months. First, please please His Majesty and get on the list of participants. Don't say I didn't remind you later.

The concubines who came were furious, but dared not say anything.

They could only return empty-handed.

The Empress didn't care about them; she was busy choosing a reliable and experienced nanny for Xi Yao.

Now that Xi Yao is the head of the palace, she needs to choose a suitable palace to move into.

The number of palace maids and eunuchs also needs to be increased according to their status.

This whole process took almost a month.

Xi Yao moved comfortably into the new palace, which was closer to the Empress's palace, and was called Yaohua Palace.

The Empress spent a lot of effort on the trivial matters during this period.

Just selecting the right people is not easy.

The Empress's actions were not insignificant and were noticed by everyone.

The concubines in the harem were all surprised. When had the Empress ever paid so much attention to them?

She was a pregnant concubine.

The Empress wouldn't want to wait for Consort Li to give birth to a prince and then raise him under her own name, would she?

That's not impossible.

The Empress is over thirty years old and has no children of her own. Adopting a child from one of the concubines is the best option.

Otherwise, why would she go to such lengths for Lai Wan-yee?

Not only did the women in the harem think this way, but even the emperor had the same suspicions.

And his expression was very unpleasant; this matter would absolutely not be allowed.

He absolutely could not allow the Chu family to be associated with the future crown prince.

So the Empress should forget about raising Consort Li's child under her name!

So, the emperor hurriedly came to Yaohua Palace that night.

First, he inquired about Xi Yao's health, then subtly advised her to stay away from the Empress.

She promised that if she gave birth to a healthy prince, he would be made crown prince.

The emperor was wary of the families behind his concubines, but in his eyes, Xi Yao's family background was just right.

After all, Mei Linhai is only a fifth-rank official, and has no chance of becoming a powerful maternal relative.

With such a mother, the prince is more suitable to be the crown prince.

Xi Yao nodded innocently in agreement. After seeing the emperor off, she went to the next room.

Now that she holds the main position in Yaohua Palace, there's no need for the powerful figure to be confined to a small room.

Chu Jingheng had finished washing up. His undergarment was slightly open, revealing his firm chest muscles with perfect lines.

Perhaps because the moisture hadn't dried, and the white underwear was quite see-through after getting wet.

Xi Yao saw the beautiful scene and couldn't help but secretly swallow her saliva.

Seriously, this man has a tall, slender figure and excellent proportions when he's dressed.

Once he took off his clothes, his muscles were smooth and defined.

Chu Jingheng didn't notice her gaze and turned to carry her to the bed.

"Yaoyao, the autumn hunt is coming soon. The emperor will be taking people to the hunting grounds. I will send you to stay at the imperial estate on the outskirts of the capital for a month."

"Okay, Ah Heng, are you going hunting?"

Xi Yao didn't ask him how he planned to get her to the royal estate; the big boss could definitely do it, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

"I'm not going." Chu Jingheng lay down and pulled her into his arms. "I'll stay with you at the imperial estate."

He rarely gets such a good opportunity to spend time with her and the children, so why would he waste his time on trivial matters?

"Okay, I want to eat barbecue then."

In Zhuangzi's village, one should be able to have more freedom.

"it is good."

Chu Jingheng stroked her hair affectionately.

"Go to sleep, Yao Yao."

"I can't sleep."

Xi Yao pressed herself against him, her hand somewhat uncontrollably reaching under her clothes to gently stroke his firm, bouncy abs.

She's three months pregnant, and ever since the news broke, she hasn't been able to touch him. She's been extremely disciplined about her sleep every day.

That won't do. She's taken a pregnancy-preserving pill, so she can do strenuous exercise.

"Yao Yao!"

Chu Jingheng grabbed the dangerous little hand, his voice becoming low and hoarse, "You're pregnant, so be good. After the baby is born, you can do whatever you want."

"It's okay." Xi Yao no longer cared about her fragile and innocent persona, snuggling against him with a wronged expression. "The baby is already three months old, and I missed you."

Chu Jingheng's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his arms around her tightened.

"Yaoyao, don't seduce me..."

He couldn't stand it.

"Ah Heng~" Xi Yao started using her coquettish tactics.

She tilted her head back and kissed his chin, her hands also wandering.

"My husband~"

The moment the words "husband" were uttered, Chu Jingheng could no longer hold back and flipped over to pin the man down.

"Yaoyao, I'll be gentle. Remember to tell me when to stop if you feel uncomfortable, okay?"

His voice was hoarse, and his breath was hot.

Xi Yao is so cute!

It's impossible to stop it.

Someone still wants to restrain themselves, but will Xi Yao allow it?

…………

The next day, Xi Yao got up refreshed and had breakfast.

Her belly had begun to swell slightly.

To ensure she could eat whatever she wanted whenever she wanted, the Empress even had a small kitchen specially set up, which made everyone in the harem green with envy.

After all, only concubines and those of higher rank have access to a small kitchen.

Xi Yao was enjoying her meal when 996 suddenly appeared and brought some bad news.

[Host, the Emperor is planning to give Merlin Hai another boost, paving the way for your future promotion after giving birth to a son.]

Xi Yao felt that the food no longer tasted good.

"I almost forgot about this person. I should find some time to visit the Mei family."

[Host, tonight is a good opportunity. The big boss is out on business and won't be back for two days.]

"Alright, remember to remind me. By the way, have Consort Li and the other three finished their self-reflection?"

A lot has happened this month. The Yang, Liu, and Zhou families have all been sued by the authorities and have lost many of their positions.

Meanwhile, the Li family is in a terrible predicament due to the emperor's deliberate suppression.

He was released three days ago.

"Okay, let's go find them tonight and go to the Mei residence tomorrow. By the way, does the mall have any medicine that can reduce body odor?"

There were too many items, and she was too lazy to browse through them slowly.

[Yes, host, you deserve the Fox Fragrance Pill. After using it, you'll constantly emit a foul body odor, making you repulsive to everyone and even dogs.]

Xi Yao's eyelids twitched. Was this name for real?

"Find me another slow-acting poison and a drug to drive someone insane."

The simultaneous deaths of all four would be too conspicuous; it would be perfect if each person had their own unique characteristics.

Wow, I'm so smart.

Xi Yao was smug and then bought the pills recommended by the system.
