After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn
Chapter 55: Concubine Shen and Concubine Xu are pregnant
The midwife brought the princess in. Murong Yue saw her daughter in the cradle and found her very cute. However, she still felt a little disappointed.
Zheng Xiyan smiled and comforted him, "The princess is so cute, she will definitely be a beauty like you in the future."
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the compliment." Murong Yue's voice was hoarse and she almost cried again.
Xiao Xuanchen, however, was all smiles as he said to Zheng Xiyan, "This is my first daughter. Queen, what title should I give her?"
According to convention, princesses would only be given titles when they were one month old. Xiao Xuanchen did this just to honor her for the sake of Murong Yue's father.
"Your Majesty, I can't think of a title for the princess at the moment. Let Your Majesty decide!" Zheng Xiyan declined with a smile. Since she was not her daughter, why should she bother with this?
Xiao Xuanchen thought for a moment, then looked at Zheng Xiyan with a smile, "Let's call her Changle. What do you think, Queen?"
"A lifetime of happiness is a good omen." Zheng Xiyan replied.
Murong Yue saw him discussing their daughter's title with the Queen. It was such a loving and happy scene in front of her. This was obviously her child, but he didn't care about her thoughts at all and instead asked the Queen directly?
Murong Yue suddenly felt even more aggrieved, with displeasure written all over her face.
Xiao Xuanchen turned his head and looked at Murong Yue, "What do you think, Rong Fei? How about Changle?"
A tear fell from Murong Yue's eyes, and she whispered, "Your Majesty, please make the decision."
"Okay! Our daughter will be named Changle." Xiao Xuanchen immediately decided on the princess' title.
Xiao Xuanchen reached out, squeezed the princess's hand, and said with a smile, "Little Changle."
When Zheng Xiyan saw this scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, she found it extremely ironic and sneered in her heart.
"You should take good rest. I will go back to Zichen Palace first and come to see you again in a few days." Xiao Xuanchen said to Murong Yue in a faint tone, without a trace of concern or heartache in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell." Murong Yue said in a hoarse voice, her eyes full of disappointment.
Xiao Xuanchen stood up and left. Zheng Xiyan said politely, "Take care of yourself first."
"Thank you, Queen. Please take care."
Zheng Xiyan followed Xiao Xuanchen and left Jinhua Palace together.
After everyone left, Murong Yue looked at her daughter beside her, tears streaming down her face.
Dieyun came over and saw her crying, and comforted her: "Don't cry, madam. You can't cry during confinement."
"Is it true as Shen Zhaorong said, she is really a princess?" Murong Yue suddenly became devastated. Why is she a princess and not a prince? Why?
"Your Majesty, the princess is also your child!" Dieyun comforted.
"I like the princess too, but there is no way that the princess can compete for the position of the crown prince. The princess is the icing on the cake, but the prince is my support!" Murong Yue said while crying. Her father must be very disappointed in her.
"Your Highness, you must recover as soon as possible. You will get pregnant again and you will definitely give birth to a prince."
Princess Changle was crying loudly in her cradle, and Murong Yue cried with her. Changle's crying drowned out her own crying. Except for Dieyun, no one else cared.
After the concubines left Jinhua Palace, Shen Aoning was very proud and laughed repeatedly, "She is really a princess, sister, you see what I said was right!"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Xi Muyao said with a smile.
"No matter if it's a coincidence or not, it's good that she is a princess." Shen Aoning had a smile on her lips, and she was so happy now.
"That's true." Xi Muyao agreed and felt relieved.
Weiyang Palace
After Zheng Xiyan came back, she heard Xiao Chengji crying. She hurried into the bedroom, took him from the wet nurse's arms, and coaxed him to sleep. She patted her son gently, "Go to sleep, baby~"
After a while, Xiao Chengji fell asleep in her arms.
The son was placed in the cradle, and two wet nurses were watching over him.
Zheng Xiyan left the bedroom and sat down on the couch in the main hall.
Shuang Ning said with joy: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong gave birth to a princess. This is great news!"
Zheng Xiyan always felt that this was not good news. The development of things now had long since deviated from the previous life.
If the situation had developed according to the previous life, not long after Murong Yue gave birth to the eldest prince, Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning were both found to be pregnant.
But in the past two months, Xiao Xuanchen rarely summoned them. Could they still conceive a dragon heir at this time?
Biluo saw that she was uneasy and asked, "My lady, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something. Go to the warehouse later and pick out a fine jade pendant and a few pieces of jewelry and send them to Jinhua Palace." Zheng Xiyan came back to her senses and ordered.
"Yes!"
Zheng Xiyan ordered someone to bring the Tongshi, and she carefully looked through the records of sleeping with the emperor for the past three months.
Shuang Ning handed over a cup of tea, "Madam, please take a rest!"
"It doesn't matter."
In the past three months, the person Xiao Xuanchen summoned the most was Concubine Shen? There were also several concubines of lower rank. Why was that? Did Xiao Xuanchen not want them to get pregnant in this life? So, he simply favored those concubines of lower rank?
In the following days, Zheng Xiyan instructed the Imperial Hospital to check the pulse of all the concubines in the palace.
As she expected, Concubine Shen had been pregnant for nearly two months, and Concubine Xu had been pregnant for more than a month.
Two more concubines in the harem are pregnant. This is a great joy, but some people are already getting restless.
On this day, all the palaces came to the Weiyang Palace to pay their respects. Murong Yue was still in confinement after childbirth, so naturally she did not come to pay her respects.
"Your humble servant/your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Everyone get up!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Queen."
Zheng Xiyan said, "Shen Jieyu and Xu Meiren are both pregnant. This is a great event in the palace. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are very happy. I have already instructed the Imperial Hospital to have Doctor Zhang take care of you. You should have a safe pregnancy in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shen and Concubine Xu both stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.
Shen Jieyu's pregnancy was an unexpected surprise for her. She thought she would never have a child in this life, after all, she had taken so many contraceptive soups before.
But unexpectedly, God treated her well and she became pregnant with a dragon fetus.
The faces of the others became more and more ugly. The Queen and Concubine Rong had just given birth to a prince and a princess, and now two more people were pregnant. They must be feeling bad.
They all lowered their heads to look at their stomachs, as if to say, why are you so disappointing?
Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan comforted them, "Don't worry, sisters. You will have children. It's just that it may not be your destiny yet."
"The Queen is right. After all, we can't all be as lucky as you." Xi Muyao was indescribably envious!
Shen Aoning echoed, "Yes! Who can be as blessed as the Queen?"
