Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Yes, I'm not stupid, so how could I believe Concubine Ning's lies?"

There must be no good intention in inviting Concubine Ning to come over. Who knows what bad things she might be planning.

If Shen Yao listened and really went to Yufu Palace, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there would be no return.

Qiuyue glanced out the window again. Concubine Ning's men were waiting at the door. If the master didn't go, what would happen if Concubine Ning couldn't help but come and kill her?

Qiuyue didn't know much about the concubines in the harem except Concubine Ning. Qiuyue had learned from other palace people that this person had some vicious methods. Every year, the number of palace maids who died in Yufu Palace was several times more than that in other places.

If Ning Fei's father had not been the Minister of Rites, Ning Fei might have been thrown into the cold palace by the Emperor.

Qiuyue was worried in her heart and said these words out loud.

Shen Yao listened to Qiuyue's words and felt a slight warmth in her heart.

Well, this person is really thinking about himself.

"Don't worry, Concubine Ning won't come," Shen Yao said calmly, "Just go and decline. Just say that I'm not feeling well and can't go to Yufu Palace today. Please be considerate, Concubine Ning."

Qiuyue: ...

Well, to some extent, my master is quite powerful. He just rejected the invitation of the second-rank concubine and his words were very impolite, which sounded a bit like a threat.

Qiuyue responded with a yes, turned around and shook her head.

You shouldn't think too much about it. The master was just politely not going to Yufu Palace and had no intention of threatening Concubine Ning.

Qiuyue went to the door and told the palace maid who came over what Shen Yao said truthfully.

The palace maid was greatly surprised by this, and even asked repeatedly whether this statement was correct.

After receiving Qiuyue's affirmative answer, the palace maid looked dazed.

The palace maid felt a secret sense of relief in her heart. She had been worried that she would not live long, but it seemed that this Noble Lady Xi was even more ignorant and took the initiative to slap Concubine Ning in the face.

You have to know that in the entire harem, Concubine Ning is the most proud, so she managed to save her life.

The palace maid went back faster, and when she arrived at Yufu Palace, this man did not forget to exaggerate and describe how ungrateful Concubine Xi was.

Concubine Ning:......

After hearing Concubine Ning's disrespectful words from Concubine Xi, she successfully smashed the teacup in her hand and threw the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground to report to her into the torture chamber.

Palace Maid: ... Damn, why is this happening?!

Shen Yao, who was far away in the Hehuan Palace, said calmly that it was said that Concubine Ning valued her face the most. Now that she was rejected by a small noble like herself, she would definitely vent her anger on other people who knew the inside story. The palace maid had jumped directly into the trap, so who could she blame?

Because Shen Yao rejected Concubine Ning, she had never left the Hehuan Palace before going to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects.

During this period, Shen Yao also refused visits from other people several times, always using her poor health as an excuse.

Others: ...How perfunctory. Isn't this just looking down on them?

Shen Yao, who successfully attracted the hatred of many people in the harem, felt that she was very innocent.

There was nothing wrong with what she said. She was indeed not feeling well. She was pregnant, so how could she be in good health?

Even when she went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects, Shen Yao remained calm. No matter how others ridiculed her, she turned a deaf ear to them.

Even the queen, the most powerful one, would feel ashamed of herself when seeing such an attitude and behavior.

In this way, except for paying respects to the Fengyi Palace every three days, Shen Yao spent the rest of her time staying at the Hehuan Palace, lazily relaxing.

Occasionally, when Xiao Yanchen came over, Shen Yao would do her best to entertain him.

Even Xiao Yanchen said that Shen Yao has become a lot lazier recently, which makes her even more lovable.

Shen Yao: ...abnormal

Half a month passed like this, and it was the beginning of November.

Then, two pieces of news came from the harem. One was that Shen Yao was one and a half months pregnant, and the other was that Concubine Zheng was three months pregnant and the fetus was stable.

Compared to Shen Yao, who was lucky enough to get pregnant right after entering the palace, everyone in the harem unanimously focused their attention on Concubine Zheng, who was three months pregnant.

Everyone turned into detectives and couldn't help but find out how Concubine Zheng managed to hide her pregnancy from the imperial physician and other people during the past three months.

You have to know that Shen Yao's pregnancy was purely out of luck. After all, the concubines in the harem had their pulse checked once a month, and it was difficult to diagnose a pregnancy that was less than a month old. Shen Yao's pregnancy of one and a half months was normal in the harem, because Li Guipin and Sun Jieyu had both been in this situation before.

But Concubine Zheng was different. She was three months pregnant, not three days. During this period, she had to hide her pulse from the imperial physician at least once. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, thinking about it this way, this silent Concubine Zheng was also a troublemaker.

Everyone started to have conspiracy theories about Concubine Zheng, especially in Changqiu Palace where she lived.

Concubine Zheng, who had just released the news: ...It’s unfair, but not completely unfair.

Concubine Zheng did hide the news of her pregnancy, but it was not intentional.

In other words, it was not her original purpose.

Because Concubine Zheng was a very courageous person and did not have the guts to do such a daring thing.

The main reason was that Concubine Zheng was out of favor. She was lucky enough to serve the emperor once a month. This pregnancy of hers was really unexpected.

Moreover, Concubine Zheng has always been in poor health. Her menstruation comes and goes. The inaccurate menstruation makes Concubine Zheng somewhat insensitive to pregnancy. She even thinks that she is not pregnant, but just has not had her menstruation.

However, two months later, her body showed some symptoms of pregnancy, which surprised Concubine Zheng. After discussing it with the nanny who served her, she dared to associate it with pregnancy.

However, despite her associations, Concubine Zheng still didn't dare to call the imperial physician over.

Just like that, due to some coincidences and the long delay, it has lasted for three months.

However, even though Concubine Zheng was three months pregnant before the news of her pregnancy was revealed, being pregnant was a good thing.

No matter whether it is the Queen or anyone else, no one can show an unhappy expression on their face.

Especially the Queen, who suppressed her anger and gave rewards to Shen Yao and Concubine Zheng.

However, compared to Shen Yao, a minor noble, the Queen was more wary of Concubine Zheng.

Wei Jingyi didn't expect that this person could hide so deeply.

When she was in the mansion, Concubine Zheng seemed honest and quiet, and after entering the palace, she didn't cause trouble for her.

She thought this man was really sensible and took good care of Changqiu Palace where Concubine Zheng was.

The result is now, she was slapped in the face with a loud bang, and Wei Jingyi hated her previous self.

This is really a case of the barking dog biting, because it gave her a big surprise.

"Niang Niang"

Qingsuo, who served the queen, was trembling with fear and really didn't know what to say.

It felt like everything would make the Empress unhappy. After all, Concubine Zheng was three months pregnant, which was a real slap in the face of the Queen.

The queen is the master of the harem, but someone in the harem is doing trouble behind the queen's back.

Thinking further, maybe the Queen did not do something good enough, which made Concubine Zheng be so cautious and alert, and she did not dare to release the news until the baby in her belly was three months old.

嘶

You can't think like that, because the more you think about it, the more you realize that Concubine Zheng's move is really cruel. It is of no benefit to the Queen. But the Queen has to take good care of Concubine Zheng, because if Concubine Zheng has a miscarriage or something, the Queen's reputation will be affected in the end.

Wei Jingyi had obviously thought so much, which was why she was even more unhappy. She stayed in the main hall of Fengyi Palace with a dark face.

Qingsuo: ...dilemma

……

Not only is it difficult to deal with the Queen, it's also difficult to deal with other people.

Because Concubine Zheng is not like Shen Yao. Shen Yao only needs normal rewards, but for Concubine Zheng, damn, they have to treat her with caution.

Because of this, the entire harem was divided into two factions, and Shen Yao miraculously discovered that she was not the most annoying person in the harem, and there were others who were even more disliked than herself.

Shen Yao: ...What a sudden turn of events. I never expected it.

"Master, the Emperor has sent Eunuch Wei to deliver the reward."

Qiuyue happily accepted the various clothing materials, cloths, supplements and medicinal herbs sent by Wei Zhu, and at the same time did not forget to invite Shen Yao who was lying on the couch to come out.

Wei Zhu smiled shyly and treated Shen Yao more respectfully when she went out.

Oops

Who could have thought that Concubine Xi was pregnant? She was so lucky.

Compared to Changqiu Palace, where the emperor rarely visits, Hehuan Palace is now the most popular one.

"Eunuch Wei, thank you for coming here. Is the emperor doing well?"

Shen Yao held her belly, and her whole body had an indescribable charm.

Wei Zhu couldn't say for sure, but he knew that Concubine Xi was even more charming now. No wonder the emperor still missed her after returning to Taiji Palace.

"In reply to your Excellency, the Emperor is fine," Wei Zhu bowed, not forgetting to say that the Emperor would come over today.

This was what the Emperor had instructed before Wei Zhu came, asking him to reveal it to Concubine Xi in advance.

Wei Zhu: ...I don’t really understand this way of getting along.

When Shen Yao heard that Xiao Yanchen was coming, she smiled even more brightly, dazzling Wei Zhu.

Letting Qiuyue send the person off, Shen Yao turned around and walked around the courtyard, stopping from time to time. Finally, she reached out and touched her belly with a smile on her lips.

Not bad, really good.

Good things come in pairs.

Shen Yao, who previously thought she was pregnant with twins, just learned from the system that she was not pregnant with twins but triplets.

Three children?

Shen Yao's first reaction was that she had a chance of becoming a fourth-rank imperial concubine.

Or if you work harder, you can become a third-rank concubine.

Who made her give birth to three healthy children for the emperor in one go?

Once the emperor is happy, then the position of the second-rank concubine... the more she thinks about it, the happier she becomes. At the same time, Shen Yao also has to thank Concubine Zheng for attracting enough firepower for her.

Without Concubine Zheng blocking the way, her pregnancy might not have been so smooth.

I hope Concubine Zheng is doing well, and it would be best if she can hold on until the later stages of her pregnancy.

Anyway, Shen Yao is a very selfish person. She only cares about what she wants to care about. As for what happened to Concubine Zheng in the end, she doesn't care.

A little later, Xiao Yanchen finished dealing with the palace affairs at hand and hurried to the Hehuan Palace with his men.

Shen Yao saw Xiao Yanchen walk in with a swagger, and she ran out like a butterfly.

Putting her arms around Xiao Yanchen's neck, Shen Yao said that she was hungry and wanted to eat the imperial meal.

Xiao Yanchen: ...What a annoying little goblin.
