Chapter 163 What if this child has
"What did Concubine Jia mean?"
Since Yingpin was sent here, her mother taught her that as a concubine, she must have a good relationship with the principal wife, just like the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Balin tribe.
Yingpin did as she was told, even though she had felt that Ruyi wanted to suppress her before. However, her mother told her that Ruyi's purpose at that time was to suppress Jin Yuyan, not to embarrass her.
She believed it and became friends with Ruyi as well.
But what Jin Yuyan said today made her a little scared.
Ruyi held her pregnancy in her arms and legs in order to protect her own belly.
"My mother has used this method to win favor before. Is that right?"
Yingpin remembered very clearly that after her, her mother gave birth to a little brother. However, in order to protect her brother when he was born, her mother sent a concubine who was on good terms with her to her father, the Khan.
So everyone went to make things difficult for the concubine.
"This……"
The little palace maid following Yingpin also fell silent.
"Queen, this is indeed inappropriate. Among the wives of our Bahrain tribe, no one is as jealous as the Queen."
Yingpin held her belly carefully.
"Forget it, what mother said always makes sense. I can't offend the queen."
"From now on, I will go to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor every day, and let the emperor get closer to the baby in his belly. When the baby is born tomorrow, the emperor will be reluctant to let it go. Naturally, the child will be safe."
Yingpin could not hide her emotions, nor her worries.
Once the conversation started, he became extremely happy.
Yingpin, who does what she says, has been coming to the Yangxin Palace every day in the past few days.
The emperor was reading memorials, and Yingpin was hugging him and acting coquettishly.
"Your Majesty, you didn't tell me that day. When the child is born, will you only love the child and not me?"
Yingpin kept swaying, which not only made the emperor dizzy, but also made him annoyed.
"Your Majesty, if the heir is a daughter, she can live a safe and smooth life. If it is a prince."
Under the emperor's questioning yesterday, the Imperial Observatory said that it would be unlucky if the royal heir was a boy.
The emperor could not tell who gave birth to a daughter and who gave birth to a son between Yingpin and Ruyi.
At the moment, even the imperial physician dared not ask, as the news that the heir was unlucky was known to all the palaces. If the emperor asked about the boy or girl, he would have to make a choice at this moment.
"Okay, you are going to be a mother now. Why are you still competing for favors with the baby in your belly?"
The emperor did not give an accurate answer. But Yingpin did not want an exact answer either, she just wanted the emperor to coax her.
He happily pulled the emperor.
"I know that the emperor loves me and my children."
"Ouch. Damn the slave."
Just as Yingpin was leaning into the emperor's arms, Jinzhong came in rashly.
Yingpin blushed in embarrassment. The emperor also stood up unnaturally.
"What's wrong? You're so reckless."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling is here.
Empress Ling said that Yingpin gave her a piece of top-quality floating brocade a few days ago, and she made it into a piece of clothing and wore it for the emperor to see.
Yingpin was not very happy when she thought about how Yanwan took away her clothes.
Yanwan has come in from outside.
The red light on Jinjiang Yanwan made her look fair and clean. Yanwan loved to laugh. She was always with the emperor, so the emperor naturally knew her good points.
"This floating brocade suits you very well. Do you have any more of the floating brocade that the Ministry of Internal Affairs provided a few days ago? If you do, send it all to Concubine Ling."
The emperor gave Jinzhong an order. Jinzhong hadn't spoken yet.
Yingpin spoke first.
"It looks good on Concubine Ling. If you knew that Concubine Ling wanted to wear the floating brocade for His Majesty to see.
I should have given Concubine Ling more.
It's hard for Concubine Ling to come to the Emperor to ask for it."
Yingpin was unhappy that Yanwan was using her fabrics to compete for favor here.
Yanwan smiled in surprise.
"Sister Yingpin, you are joking. If I don't wear this floating brocade for the emperor to see, who else can I wear it for?"
Yanwan glanced at Jinzhong as she spoke.
That was naturally for Jinzhong to see.
Rather than saying that it was made for Jinzhong to see, it would be better to say that this dress was made by Jinzhong for Yanwan.
That day, after Yanwan brought the cloth back, she invited Jinzhong to Yongshou Palace.
"This is the floating brocade given by Yingpin. I want you to sew a dress for me and wear it for the emperor to see someday."
Jinzhong met all of Yanwan's requests.
Jinzhong praised Yanwan the moment she put it on.
"Fairy."
"Yes. The ladies in the harem are all dressed up for the emperor."
Chunchan followed what Yanwan said, and the emperor was very happy.
Yingpin was unhappy, but she had to endure it. She could only look at Yanwan and wish she could stare a hole in her.
Yanwan smiled back at Yingpin.
As she was laughing, Yan Wan felt that everything in front of her eyes was shaking.
"Empress Ling."
Jinzhong supported Yanwan immediately.
"What's wrong, Concubine Ling? I see you don't look well."
Jinzhong looked nervous. Yanwan's discomfort was not new. When Yanwan asked him to come over to make clothes that day, Jinzhong felt that something was wrong with her.
The whole person feels lazy and drowsy.
Yingpin looked at Yanwan like this and felt that she looked familiar.
She said to the emperor excitedly:
"Your Majesty, I think Concubine Ling is pregnant. Let's ask the imperial physician to take a look."
Yingpin looked at Yanwan expectantly.
She hoped extremely that Yan Wan was really pregnant with an imperial heir.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Empress Ling Fei. The Empress is pregnant."
Under Yingpin's great anticipation, Doctor Bao diagnosed Yanwan with a pregnancy pulse.
"That's very kind of you, Your Majesty."
When Yingpin heard that Yanwan was pregnant, she smiled brightly.
"Congratulations, Sister Ling Fei."
After congratulating the emperor, Yingpin came to congratulate Yanwan.
But she didn't even wait for Yan Wan's response. She sighed and spoke again.
"Oh, Your Majesty. How about asking the Imperial Observatory to come and have a look at Concubine Ling?"
"A few days ago, the Imperial Observatory said that there might be a disaster baby born in the palace. And then, Concubine Ling is pregnant. It's really too coincidental."
“For the sake of the destiny of the Qing Dynasty, we still have to ask the Imperial Observatory to take a look.
It would be bad if something happened to the child."
This is what Yingpin has been thinking about since she felt that Yanwan was pregnant.
With Yanwan as a scapegoat, both she and Ruyi can keep the baby in their wombs.
"Is this the final word, Lady Yingpin?"
"Although our mistress is of low status, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir. The emperor hasn't even said a word of disapproval yet, but Concubine Ying has already said this."
"The day the Imperial Astronomical Bureau replied, our queen was also present. Did the queen say anything bad about Concubine Ying? Or did she suspect that the baby in the queen's belly was unlucky?"
Yanwan usually doesn't argue with others. People around her are also quiet.
When Yingpin mentioned it today, Chunchan got furious. This situation is rare.
Yingpin was intent on framing her, and she felt guilty. She said silently:
"Why worry? If it's not true, then it's not true. I'm just saying it. Your master hasn't spoken yet."
Chunchan's eyes were filled with tears.
“Your Highness only said one thing and it harmed the Master’s child.
Speaking of unlucky things, among those who are pregnant nowadays, the queen is the most unlucky. In the past, the queen…"
"Shut up."
Chunchan hasn't finished talking about what the queen did in the past.
He was interrupted by the emperor.
