With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

Chapter 89 New Year's Eve Dinner, Everyone's Thoughts

Concubine Jing took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

She turned to look at the Queen Mother who was a few feet away, smiling, and said softly, "Sister, I've noticed that the Queen has been pregnant for several months! How come I didn't hear any news about the Queen being pregnant and the whole country celebrating?"

The Queen Mother curled her lips and replied in a gentle tone, "Yan'er has been staying in Changle Palace since she became pregnant. We didn't deliberately tell anyone that she was pregnant. I didn't expect that no one in the palace would spread the news."

Concubine Jing snorted in her heart.

She would never believe what the Queen Mother said. If they hadn't kept it a secret, how could there be no news at all about such an important matter as the Queen's pregnancy?

Now that Nan Yan is pregnant is a fact, the best thing to do now is to find out more about Nan Yan's pregnancy.

Concubine Jing took a look at Nan Yan's belly. It was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, so she couldn't tell how many months her belly was.

So she asked, "Sister, how many months has the queen been pregnant?"

"More than seven months." The Queen Mother said truthfully. She knew that now that Nan Yan's pregnancy had been exposed, it was impossible to keep it a secret any longer. She could only send more people to protect her.

Hearing this, Concubine Jing’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

More than seven months, that means she got pregnant shortly after getting married. Then Yuan'er also said that he had given Nan Yan a sterilizing drug. What's going on?

She forced a stiff smile and said, "Sister, congratulations! The eldest son will be born in just over three months."

The Queen Mother didn't quite like what Concubine Jing said. She liked it no matter if it was a man or a woman.

She frowned and said calmly, "Whether it's a prince or a princess, I'm happy."

Concubine Jing's expression froze. "That's right! Whether it's a prince or a princess, they are all royal blood. Anyway, the emperor and empress are still young and can give birth to another child."

The Queen Mother liked what she said, and she smiled and said, "What the Concubine said is right."

Concubine Jing could hardly maintain her stiff smile.

Looking at the happy smile on the empress dowager's face, she felt it was dazzling.

No, I must not let Nan Yan give birth to the child. I must not let her have her way.

Concubine Jing returned to her seat and sat down, thinking about how to get rid of the baby in Nan Yan's belly.

Nan Yan was enjoying the performance in the hall with great interest, when suddenly, she felt a very hot gaze again.

She turned her head and saw a heroic-looking woman staring at her, but there was no malice in her eyes, only admiration and amazement.

In an instant, Nan Yan guessed her identity. This should be her future sister-in-law.

A smile flashed across Nan Yan's eyes.

My brother has a really good eye. Not only is my future sister-in-law pretty, but she also has a very simple, cheerful and pure personality, which makes people unable to help but like her.

Nan Yan picked up the teacup in front of her with her slender white fingers, raised it in the direction of Qin Siyao, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Qin Siyao was stunned for a moment by this bright smile like a spring flower. The queen was so beautiful! She was the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

After she realized what was happening, she widened her eyes in shock and pointed a finger at herself.

Seeing Nan Yan nodded, Qin Siyao hurriedly raised his teacup and clinked it with Nan Yan's in the air, and finally drank the whole cup of tea in one gulp.

Nan Yan felt that this sister-in-law was really interesting.

Ever since Shang Yuan saw that Nan Yan was pregnant, his eyes were filled with hostility. He leaned back in his chair with an inexplicable curve at the corner of his mouth.

He kept staring at the small table in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jing Zhizhi was very happy to see that Shang Yuan did not look in the direction of Nan Yan this time.

After half an hour of the banquet, Shang Yue turned around and saw Nan Yan rubbing her waist. He frowned slightly, put his big hands on the woman's waist and massaged her.

Ever since Nan Yan's belly grew bigger and her waist ached from walking too much, Shang Yue was the one who gave her massages.

He leaned over, put his thin lips to the woman's ear, and asked softly, "Yan'er, are you tired?"

Nan Yan nodded, "Yeah, my waist is a little sore from sitting."

She has such a big belly now that she gets tired after sitting for a while.

When Shang Yue heard this, he immediately said, "Then I'll help you go back and rest."

He turned around and said to the Queen Mother beside him, "Mother, Yan'er's waist is a little sore. I will take her back to rest first. You will have to work hard here."

When the Queen Mother was almost nine months pregnant with Shang Yue, she was either suffering from back pain or cramps. She knew well how difficult it was to be pregnant.

She said gently, "Okay, go back with Yan'er to sleep. Mother is here, you don't have to worry."

Shang Yue helped Nan Yan out of Wuyue Palace.

The ladies in the palace couldn't help but feel envious and jealous when they saw the emperor personally helping Nan Yan, especially the wives, who were almost envious to death.

Each of them recalled that when they were pregnant, their husbands would not personally support them, but would go to the concubine's courtyard, and at most would come over to express a few words of concern every day.

However, a woman as beautiful as the queen deserves such treatment from the emperor. Even though the queen is pregnant, she is still stunningly beautiful. Except for her belly, you can't tell that she is a pregnant woman.

Shang Yue accompanied Nan Yan back to Changle Palace. After washing up, Nan Yan fell asleep quickly.

The New Year's Eve dinner also ended smoothly under the supervision of the Queen Mother.

After Concubine Jing and her entourage returned home, Shang Yuan followed Concubine Jing to her courtyard.

"All of you go out! Close the door." Concubine Jing asked the maids to go out.

After the door was closed, Concubine Jing turned around and looked at Shang Yuan, frowning tightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Yuan'er, didn't you say that you had given Nan Yan a sterilizing drug? How did she get pregnant?"

Shang Yuan's dark eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The news that came back at that time said that Nan Yan did drink the bowl of soup with the infertility drug."

"Then how could Nan Yan be pregnant?"

The drug was extremely strong. After she had someone give the empress dowager the drug, she never got pregnant again.

Soon, Concubine Jing said hesitantly, "Is it because the person who drugged you failed and was afraid that you would be punished, so he sent you false news?"

"Impossible." Shang Yuan immediately rejected Concubine Jing's idea.

Those people were trained by him personally, and they would never dare to lie to him about such an important matter.

Concubine Jing looked at his confident expression and was confused: "What is going on?"

Shang Yuan couldn't understand it. He had clearly drugged Nan Yan, so how could she still get pregnant?

In order to confirm, Shang Yue asked the secret guard to call back the person who drugged Nan Yan.

A homely-looking man was kneeling on the ground. Shang Yuan was sitting on a chair. He seemed nonchalant, but he revealed a terrible and gloomy aura. The man couldn't help but tremble.

Shang Yuan said in a gloomy tone: "Are you sure you gave Nan Yan the infertility drug?"

The man quickly replied, "Your Highness, I did give you the drug, and I watched the Queen drink it."
