Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Empress Xi"

"Concubine Zhou"

"Your humble servant/your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Zhou."

A large group of people stood up and bowed and greeted Zhou Ningyan who was helped in with their scalps tingling.

Shen Yao stared at the other person intently. After not seeing each other for a few months, Zhou Ningyan became weaker than before.

Her face was sallow, and even the best rouge and powder couldn't hide her fatigue. Tsk, Zhou Ningyan's pregnancy seemed to be costing her her entire life.

"Empress Xi, long time no see."

Zhou Ningyan's voice was hoarse, no longer as clear and pleasant as before, and it sounded like there was a lot of friction.

Shen Yao frowned, not understanding why Zhou Ningyan came out at this time.

The two of them became pregnant less than three months apart.

Now that Shen Yao has successfully completed her confinement, according to Zhou Ningyan's physical condition and the duration of her pregnancy, it seems that she is about to give birth.

"Empress Zhou, it's been a long time since we last met. You're already seven months pregnant, right?"

Shen Yao glanced at Zhou Ningyan's unusually large belly with a smile on her face, and took the opportunity to say a few words about things that should be paid attention to during pregnancy, especially in the late stages of pregnancy.

I have finally come out, I can't have anything to do with Zhou Ningyan.

Zhou Ningyan's expression was slightly stiff, and she felt a little annoyed at the same time.

Concubine Xi is a person who always talks about things that are not relevant. She knows her own body best. It is obvious that she is unable to give birth to the baby. The precautions used for ordinary pregnant women are of no use to her.

Now that Concubine Xi said this, was she deliberately mocking her?

They laughed at her for not being able to judge people, laughed at her for having wild ideas, laughed at her for bringing it upon herself... Zhou Ningyan's heart was stirred unconsciously, and her arm trembled slightly. The maid who came over to help her noticed it and quickly held it.

Oh no, the master's mood is obviously fluctuating, they should leave as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Wen He called Zhou Ningyan twice worriedly. Fortunately, Zhou Ningyan remembered the purpose of her going out. She put force on her palms and slowly exhaled.

The other thin, white hand touched Gao Song's belly, and Zhou Ningyan smiled, "Yes, it will be seven months in a few days.

Now the imperial physician says that my body is a little weak and the baby in my belly is doing well.

Therefore, I always go out for a walk and exercise my body properly to prevent difficulties in childbirth in the future.

Oh, look at my memory. I always tend to lose things when I’m pregnant.

You guys, please don't be polite."

After saying the last two sentences, Zhou Ningyan turned her attention to several low-ranking concubines standing aside.

These were the people who had shamelessly stayed there before, and now Zhou Ningyan had given them a warning, so they couldn't stay any longer.

He stood up and nodded dryly. Several people looked at each other. Finally, a pretty concubine spoke up and left the pavilion in front of them, saying that it was getting late.

"Oh, you left so soon, is it because I came here?"

Zhou Ningyan looked at them with a half-smile and a cruel and unfriendly look.

Those who want to leave: ...

The pretty concubine's smile was frozen, and it looked uglier than crying. "How could it be? I really have something to do in the palace. Before the majesty came, I wanted to say goodbye and leave."

"Yes, yes. Concubine Zhou is kind and tolerant. I think she can understand us."

Well, he was just talking, and in the end he turned around and used moral kidnapping.

Shen Yao felt that if she were Zhou Ningyan, she would definitely not let these people leave easily.

Sure enough, when Zhou Ningyan heard the disgusting adjective used to describe herself, she sneered, "How could I not know that Concubine Liu has such eloquence? It's a pity that she doesn't go to the teahouse outside the palace to be a storyteller."

Zhou Ningyan was standing in the corridor leading to the pavilion. If she didn't move, others would not be able to climb over the wall and get out.

Moreover, Zhou Ningyan was pregnant with a big belly and was a dangerous person in the harem. At this time, whoever dared to touch her would be the one in trouble, not the other person.

When the conversation reached this point, everyone froze.

Those who wanted to leave couldn’t, so they could only listen to Zhou Ningyan talking to herself.

Of course, Zhou Ningyan not only spoke on her own, she also cleverly pulled Shen Yao along to speak as well.

Shen Yao is not stupid. From Zhou Ningyan's words, she can feel that what she mentioned most is the child in her belly, and the topics she answered most often are also about the child.

嘶

Shen Yao glanced at the concubines standing by who had their own thoughts, and thought that Zhou Ningyan's move today would not be a trap for these people.

But why?

"Huh! Look at you, sister. She's just pregnant, but she still looks down on us."

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Concubine Zhou has a bad temper. If she hears you, she will settle the score with you."

"What are you afraid of? If she can get pregnant, so can I. It's just a prescription. You think you've kept it a secret and that other people are deaf and blind and don't know?

The news has already spread to the harem, so it’s not impossible to find out.”

"If you really want to use that recipe to get pregnant, Concubine Zhou will not look at it well. If there is something wrong with the recipe, we will be asking for trouble."

"Sister is just overthinking. We are young, and we are not like Concubine Zhou who has to take medicine all year round.

If you ask me, Concubine Zhou can only blame herself for her poor health.

If I had used the recipe, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

"..."

The few concubines who were finally released by Zhou Ningyan gathered together, and what they talked about was a secret recipe for having a child.

It turned out that since some time ago, a secret recipe for making Concubine Zhou pregnant had been leaked.

No one believed it at first, but as Concubine Zhou took a very strict and defensive attitude, their attitudes gradually changed.

Right now, nine out of ten people in the harem have the same idea.

Some are timid and are still waiting, while some are brave and have already taken the medicine and are waiting for the effects.

The few people who came to Shen Yao today were considered to be the wavering group, but after being stimulated by Zhou Ningyan's words, they also aroused the desire to get pregnant and have children.

Yes, when a woman enters the palace, all she thinks about is either love or offspring.

Now that the path to having children is open, who can refuse? !

"I see. How come I didn't know about this?"

After listening to Qiuyue's words, Shen Yao touched her chin. She turned her head to look at Zhou Ningyan who had disappeared without a trace. She thought to herself that this person was really cruel. She didn't want to live anymore, so she took all the women in the harem with her to be buried with him.

Well, she is worthy of being the daughter of the right prime minister. With her decisive and ruthless character, she will surely not let go of Zhao Yunyue who plotted against her.

Qiuyue hurriedly explained to her master, it was not that she didn't want to talk about it, she had actually mentioned this matter, but she was unlucky when she said it. Shen Yao was in the late stage of pregnancy and was not very energetic all day.

Moreover, at that time, most of Shen Yao's energy was either on her belly or on Xiao Jin's three children. She had no time to analyze everything Qiuyue said.

Furthermore, whether it is Shen Yao or Qiuyue, they both look down on this secret recipe for having a child. With a contemptuous attitude in their hearts, it is difficult for them to look at it objectively.

Then, naturally, missing out is to be expected.

Shen Yao shrugged her shoulders and said, "Now that I've heard about it, it's not too late.

Just looking at Concubine Zhou's behavior, if the news spreads out in the harem, the emperor should also know about it."

So what is Xiao Yanchen's attitude? Tolerate or overthrow?

Shen Yao thought of Xiao Yanchen from Taiji Hall, and Xiao Yanchen from Taiji Hall had been prepared for this matter.

"Zhou, did she really leave Chaoyang Palace again?"

Sitting behind a desk and handling the memorials in his hands, Xiao Yanchen listened to Wei Zhu's report with an unchanged expression.

Wei Zhu bowed her body, not daring to look up, "Yes, Concubine Zhou went to the pavilion behind the garden and met Concubine Xi, Concubine Liu and others."

When Xiao Yanchen heard that Shen Yao was involved, he raised his head from the memorial and asked, "Noble Concubine Xi?"

Wei Zhu quickly explained what happened to Shen Yao, and added at the end, "I found out that it was Concubine Zhou who heard the news and rushed over specially."

Xiao Yanchen didn't say anything, but put down the brush in his hand and curled his lips, "Zhou, you really don't want to live anymore."

Even Shen Yao has to be calculated. Is it Zhou's own idea or the idea of ​​the right prime minister outside the palace?

Xiao Yanchen couldn't help but start a conspiracy theory. Whether Zhou Ningyan got pregnant on her own or spread the recipe throughout the harem, Xiao Yanchen knew everything, but he chose to watch coldly in the Taiji Hall.

The purpose is to wait for an opportunity to catch all the people inside and outside the palace in one fell swoop.

There was still not enough time. Xiao Yanchen kept rushing and finally had the confidence to overturn the situation and confront these people.

Having had enough of such a life, Xiao Yanchen naturally didn't mind Zhou Ningyan helping him solve some of the troubles in the harem before she died.

After all, among these concubines who came in, there were those who were innocent like Shen Yao and whom he liked, and there were also those who had their own purposes and were spies from other people.

In short, since Zhou Ningyan is seeking death herself, Xiao Yanchen will not do anything but help her.

"Wei Zhu, arrange for people to protect Weiyang Palace, especially Concubine Xi and her son. No one can afford to lose them."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhu nodded repeatedly, "I obey your order."

Xiao Yanchen waved his hand, "Go down, and then go to Fengyi Palace to deliver the message. I will go to the Queen's place for dinner tonight."

She is the Queen after all. This time, it depends on how the Queen and the Wei family choose.

If she stood on his side, Wei would still be the queen of the Dajing Dynasty in the future. If she stood on the opposite side of him, Xiao Yanchen felt that it would not be a bad idea to change a new queen.

Anyway, Shen Yao really suits his taste. Xiao Yanchen is very satisfied with her, whether in terms of having children or in other aspects.

"嗻"

……

That night, Xiao Yanchen appeared in the main hall of Fengyi Palace wearing a dragon robe.

When Wei Jingyi saw the emperor coming, she quickly took Xiao Heng to pay his respects.

Xiao Yanchen looked down at his son who was held in Wei Jingyi's hand, his brows knitted tightly, "Queen, why is Heng'er here?"

He came here to discuss things with the Queen. Xiao Heng was only a few years old.

When Wei Jingyi heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she smiled, "Heng'er misses the emperor.

Now that the Emperor has finally come over, I want the three of us to sit together and have dinner together."

Xiao Yanchen pursed his lips slightly, his eyes deep, "The Queen is blaming me for not coming here often enough?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. That is not what I meant," Wei Jingyi bit her lip, looking nervous.
