Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!
Chapter 16: A small banquet at the British Palace, Li wants to invite Chen Zhining!
The emperor and the queen were both very happy.
Although there was no outward display of it that day, the emperor only sent Li Haitang to secretly deliver some things from his private storehouse to Li.
But the prince and the people in the royal palace are no pushovers, and their secret agents can naturally find out about this matter.
For the next half month, the emperor did not show any obvious behavior in the court, but when he saw the King of England, he couldn't help but smile.
"..."
This made the ministers secretly smack their lips in surprise, what a joke!
The King of England has a concubine who is fertile and is really favored by the Emperor.
After all, the country is peaceful now, and there is nothing special, except that the country's heirs are a little weak...
Well, the emperor is in his forties or fifties, and to put it bluntly, he doesn't have many years left to live, so it's normal for him to want a grandson or granddaughter.
These ministers couldn't help but talk about it in private.
"...Your Majesty and the Queen have been very happy recently. The King of England's concubine is so fertile that she is about to give birth to another baby after just one."
"This child seems to be very much loved by His Majesty and the Queen."
"Yes, the last time Concubine Li was still a concubine, she was pregnant with the emperor's grandson for the first time. Even when the grandson was born, it seemed that His Majesty and the Empress were not that happy."
"Why do I feel that His Majesty and the Queen are both so happy this time?"
Of course, they didn't know that the emperor and the empress had such a dream.
When the emperor’s eldest grandson and several other royal children were born, they did not have any special dreams. Since they did this time, it must be something strange.
Since there were strange visions in the dream, then this child must be extraordinary. Maybe he is the reincarnation of the son of God.
I was unexpectedly born into their royal family to make them happy, to add to their blessings, and to prolong their country's prosperity.
In short, the attitudes of the emperor and the empress directly affected the court and the harem.
Although nothing seemed to be happening in the court and the harem, in fact, many officials in the court went to curry favor with Concubine Li of Prince Ying's palace and gave him many gifts.
Concubine Li accepted all the orders and took as much as she could.
Recently, she has been wearing a red satin skirt in the mansion. Princess Ying is seriously ill and has no time to pay attention to Concubine Li, and no one dares to say anything.
Her hair was swaying with gold and jade hairpins all around. She had never looked so majestic in her life.
......
In Concubine Li’s room.
After Li Cefei sent away a group of guests, a maid with braids beside Li Cefei said to her with a smile, very happy.
"...Madam Concubine, the maidservant of Princess Ying is here."
When Concubine Li heard this, her face fell immediately, "The maidservant beside Princess Ying is here, so she is here! Why are you so happy?!"
"Are you afraid that I might find it unlucky?!"
Having said that, Li walked straight forward and pinched the maid with braided hair hard.
The maid with pigtails wailed in pain.
She couldn't help crying and knelt down: "...Qiuhua didn't mean it!!!"
"Qiuhua didn't mean it! Concubine, please calm down!"
"My Lady Concubine! The reason why I am happy is not because of this. I am happy because...the maidservant beside Princess Ying came here to inform My Lady Concubine..."
"The banquet for the concubine's ceremony will be held in three days. It will be held at the Prince of Ying's Palace. We will invite the wives of other princes and the wives of some ministers with whom we have close ties to the court to attend the banquet!"
"Aunt Lingdao beside the Queen Mother has brought the royal jade disc to write down your name."
"..."
Li was stunned: "Ah?!"
"A concubine's viewing ceremony?!"
"Wouldn't that mean everyone could see me lifting the concubine?!"
"Exactly."
When Qiuhua saw that Li was finally happy, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She said quickly with a smile.
"Your Highness is so lucky. Maybe you will give birth to twins just as the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said."
"Look at the people inside and outside the court, the Emperor and the Empress, they are all very happy."
"I estimate that by then, all the female relatives of the prince's mansion, as well as the families of ministers in the court who have close relations with Your Highness, will definitely come to watch the ceremony."
As for the nonsense about internal and external ministers, collusion between princes and ministers, etc.... For the time being, the emperor and the prince are not worried.
Because among the ministers who had a good relationship with King Cheng and King Ying, there were basically few military generals, and most of them were civil officials, and there were not many of them, so it would not be a big deal if we invited one or two fewer.
Besides, didn’t the Princess of England herself say that she wanted to invite some ministers’ wives with whom she had a good relationship, so she wouldn’t invite too many people.
When Li heard this, she smiled happily, then raised her eyebrows and said complacently: "Okay, then follow me to the Princess of England's room to express my gratitude."
"It's a good opportunity to mention the Ninth Prince's Consort to her and ask her to invite Chen Zhining over! I haven't forgotten the last time she stole the spotlight! Let's see if she dares to steal the spotlight again this time over the Divine Lotus Seed in my belly!"
......
In the British Princess's room.
Her room was always filled with the fragrance of medicine, and the princess on the bed exuded a bitter medicinal smell.
There was no luxurious decoration in the house. There was only a vase of wintersweet in a large jade porcelain vase, which added some color and made the house not so dull.
The two personal maids who accompanied the British princess all year round were very resentful.
"......Princess, you have no idea how outrageous Li has been recently!"
"She relies on the fact that she is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson and that she is pregnant with another child. She is making a big fuss about herself and will soon become a concubine!"
"The servants around her have always been unruly. The matter of her being a concubine has not been made public, and it has not been recorded in the jade disc by the Empress. But now this is the case! They just let those servants call her a concubine?!"
"I don't know if I can bear it!"
"It's only because the prince, the emperor and the queen are so generous. If the censors knew about this, they would report it to the court. Let's see what she can do!"
Both maids were very unhappy.
After hearing this, the Princess of England was silent for a moment, then spoke in a weak voice.
"Why do you bother about these trivial things?"
"Even if the censors knew about this and really impeached her, considering how much His Majesty, the Queen, and the Empress love Concubine Li and the baby in her belly...will they punish her?"
"What else will happen?"
"Do you think...the Li family has been so arrogant and ostentatious in recent times? Don't the emperor and the queen know about it?"
"The King of England doesn't know... ahem."
Princess Ying sneered, "They all know, they know everything...!"
"They also know that this Li is relying on the fact that she is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson. Even if she is a lowly concubine, she will climb over my head and let me do whatever I want!"
"They just... turned a blind eye...!!!"
"..."
After hearing this, the two maids immediately turned to look at the Princess of England and couldn't help but let out a miserable smile.
Alas... there is no way.
The British princess' family background is actually okay, but because she is just pretty, she is not very liked by the British king.
No one knew when she started to have this problem, but she had to take medicine every day, so Li took advantage of the opportunity and got her pregnant with Prince Ning's child!
Now that was a good thing. The King of England and the Queen of England had never had any feelings for each other, because Li later always used the child as an excuse to get the King of England to leave the Queen of England's courtyard.
Except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, we can always ask him to leave.
This also led to the relationship between the two of them becoming increasingly worse.
The maids remained silent and dared not make a sound.
Then, Li's crazy laughter was heard from outside.
