The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Chapter 293: The Emperor’s incense continues18

The maids around Meng Wenyao were all the emperor's confidants. Everything she did today could not escape the emperor's eyes. Fortunately, she knew that the eldest prince was not of the emperor's blood, so she had no worries when playing tricks.

She hung on the emperor's neck and said nonchalantly: "I am doing good deeds. Sister Song married the man with the highest family status as she wished. It is not an injustice for the eldest prince to marry the daughter of the minister of etiquette. Even if the queen has figured it out, You will also think that this marriage is very good. Your Majesty, please give me a decree to grant the marriage."

If the queen felt great, she wouldn't faint. Even if she felt good, it couldn't be a marriage without a matchmaker.

He knew that Meng Wenyao wanted to help him get rid of the eldest prince. Knowing that there was someone to share the thorns on the road with him, the emperor was still very moved.

Shaking his head and sighing, the emperor said earnestly: "Yao'er, the most important thing for you is to protect yourself and give birth to our child. I will take care of other matters."

"Your Majesty, I am not a weak woman who cannot take care of herself. I do many things. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the emperor stopped him in his words: "Be obedient."

Looking at the stubborn little girl in front of him, the emperor felt that it was unlikely that Meng Wenyao would be obedient.

"Forget it, I'll just ground you."

"Your Majesty~"

No matter how coquettishly Meng Wenyao acted, the emperor was indifferent. The demons in the harem were dancing wildly, and he really couldn't trust to let Meng Wenyao out.

The queen who fainted and woke up immediately called the eldest prince over and reprimanded her: "Although you have been mischievous since you were a child, you have never made a mistake like today. Do you know that if you hadn't been misbehaving today, the relationship between you and the Minister of War would have been different." My daughter is engaged, and with the support of the Minister of War, your position as prince is stable. Why are you acting so nonsense? Why, my son~"

The queen was angry and in pain, punching the bed one after another. She had fallen out of favor a lot, so she relied on her son for support. Seeing her son's wedding, the power structure was stable. Who knew that such a problem would arise at this critical juncture.

"Your Majesty, you wish something would happen to our mother and son. Then why are you so confused? Even if you don't like Miss Sun and don't want to marry her, you can't slap her in the face like this. If you tell your mother in advance, she won't force you!"

The queen cried so hard that she was out of breath. The eldest prince felt uncomfortable, so he told the truth.

"My son was confused. He just saw Meng Meiren and thought that she had some fate with my uncle. He wanted to go over and have a few words, but unexpectedly he followed the wrong person and entered the wrong room."

The queen recalled that Meng Wenyao had been staying in front of her at that time and had not left even a step. This showed that the eldest prince had lied.

He must still be unwilling to marry Miss Sun, so he deliberately found someone to favor him.

But when they led her there, someone said that her dog had been beaten, and there must be someone behind it.

The Queen immediately became energetic and asked someone to find out who originally spread the rumors that the Eighth Prince beat her dog.

After this investigation, it was found that the palace maid came from Yuhua Palace. The queen was convinced, what a noble concubine, you wait.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and the beauty of the moon in the side hall was really delayed. The emperor took the beauty with the moon and began to perform at Yongfu Palace.

After Meng Wenyao's pleading, the emperor finally agreed to watch the theater with her.

During lunch at Yongfu Palace, Yue Meiren felt nauseated by the fish, meat and mutton in front of her. She couldn't bear it anymore and vomited on the spot.

The Queen Mother, who was chatting and laughing with the Queen, suddenly stopped smiling, her eyes darkened and she smiled again: "Yue Beauty, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Only then did everyone realize the strangeness of Yue Meiren, especially the queen. After the incident with the eldest prince, she had been in disgrace for a long time. Now that she saw that the new couple was pregnant, she immediately stood up and wanted to show her style as the mother of the country.

"Come here, please call the doctor."

She turned around and smiled at the Queen Mother and the Emperor: "Looking at Yue Beauty, she might be pregnant."

There was a smile in her voice. A beautiful woman was just pregnant and could not threaten her son's position.

The other concubines had the same thoughts as the queen. Even if Yue Mei gave birth to a prince, it would not change the power structure of the harem.

Therefore, they did not pay too much attention to Yue Meiren, but instead began to ridicule Meng Wenyao.

"Oh, Beauty Meng has been favored for a longer time, why is there no movement now?"

Another concubine said in a low voice, but actually said loudly: "You don't know this. I heard that since Yue Meiren moved into Jianzhang Palace, she was his only favorite. The emperor didn't even go to Meng Meiren's place. How could she be pregnant?" .”

Mentioning this, Yue Meiren lowered her head shyly. Indeed, as soon as she entered Jianzhang Palace, the emperor favored her every night. Although the emperor never summoned her during the day, the emperor's favor at night was real. She could have a child. It was the result of the emperor's preference for her.

Soon, the imperial doctor came over, took Meiren Yue's pulse, and announced loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Meiren Yue is pregnant."

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened almost inaudibly. The Emperor seemed to be overly excited. He stood up from his seat, pointed at Yue Meiren and said: "My dear concubine, come here quickly and sit next to me."

His gaffe was quite funny. Meng Wenyao lowered her head and continued eating with a sullen smile.

"I have had no heir for many years. Yue Meiren has made great achievements, but the position of the fourth concubine is still vacant. From now on, Yue Meiren will be promoted to Shufei."

"No." The Queen Mother suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. She quickly explained: "Yue Mei is pregnant, and the Ai family is also very happy. However, the advancement of the harem has to be done step by step. It is better to be promoted to Jieyu first, and wait until the child is born. Prince, it’s not too late to be promoted to concubine.”

"That's fine, but it'll be a few days later."

Looking at Yue Jieyu who was already sitting beside him, the emperor's happiness was beyond words.

The queen mother on the side was heartbroken. The emperor was going to have a child of his own. If it was a prince, would the emperor let the prince inherit the throne?

What about the children of her dead eldest son? Should the emperor make them kings or kill them all in revenge?

In the past, the emperor could not have children and did not take action against his elder brother's sons for the sake of inheriting the family. Now the situation has changed drastically. Will the hatred that the second son has suppressed for many years burst out?

Now that she, the Queen Mother, is still alive, maybe the emperor will not blatantly kill the princes in the harem, but what about her a hundred years from now?

Even if the emperor did not kill him, for the sake of the safety of her son's throne, Yue Jieyu would probably take action to help her son clear the obstacles.

Suddenly she felt that she had given away a hot potato. The Queen Mother looked at Yue Jieyu and she no longer had the kindness of the past. She was already planning how to make Yue Jieyu have a miscarriage.

Only if the emperor has no heirs can the safety of the princes in the harem be guaranteed.

"Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs all day long, please let Yue Jieyu live with the Ai family again."

The emperor, who was helping Yue Jieyu pick up the vegetables, stopped and said with a smile: "Mother, I have not personally witnessed the birth of an imperial child. I want to personally take care of Yue Jieyu's pregnancy."
