Chapter 234 The Prince's Early Death White Moonlight 31
"Congratulations, Lady Song." As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, Chen Yanzhen took the lead in speaking, pretending not to have heard that and directly defined her as being pregnant.
The Queen took the lead in congratulating, and the concubines followed suit. Concubine Shen snorted coldly, "Talented Lady Song is really lucky."
Isn't it just luck? If you calculate the time, it's probably the first time I've had this. It's really unique in the harem."
Liu Fuyin was nervous and at a loss. It was obvious that she was also confused by the news of pregnancy. It was Chen Yanzhen's words of promotion that brought her back to her senses: "There has been no child in the harem for many years. Concubine Song is pregnant now, which is a blessing. She will be promoted to Beauty."
If she is pregnant under such circumstances, His Majesty will most likely get a promotion if he knows about it. It is dignified and generous of her to bring it up on her own initiative. However, the effect of the medicine will not last long. If Chen Yanzhen wants to use this to plot against her, then he has to take the initiative to mention the promotion.
Liu Fuyin was terrified at first, but then she knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty."
"Get up. It's a good thing that Concubine Song is pregnant. If she can give birth to the child safely, whether it's a princess or a prince, they will have a good life in the future."
After saying this, he asked someone to give a reward on the spot. This time he was very generous and gave a phoenix hairpin.
But she couldn't wear it according to her current status. After Liu Fuyin took it, she expressed her gratitude.
Today's morning meeting seemed to be prepared for her, but after this "happy event" was exposed, it was over.
"Sister Song, wait for me."
"Sister Wang, is there something wrong?"
As soon as she left Fengqi Palace, she walked very quickly and heard Concubine Wang calling her from afar.
"Sister Song, we haven't talked to each other for a long time. The weather is very nice today. Can I come to your place and sit for a while?" Lady Wang smiled innocently and hugged her arm familiarly.
"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead, sister."
Naturally, no one would conceal the discovery of the Queen's pregnancy, so the news spread quickly throughout the harem. When His Majesty and the Queen Mother found out, they sent rewards.
For a time, the Yunxi Palace was extremely prosperous, especially the empress dowager, who sent a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, and cloth.
Concubine Wang, who followed her back to the palace, also asked her personal maid to go back to the palace to get the gifts, and then chatted with her casually.
What else can we talk about in this harem? Apart from His Majesty, it's gossip, or at worst some unimportant family matters.
While the two were talking, many people came to deliver gifts. The concubines of lower ranks delivered them personally, while the concubines of higher ranks asked their servants to deliver them. This was nothing, but when Concubine Wang saw the gifts given by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, her eyes lit up.
"I heard that this Yuehua brocade was a tribute from a foreign country. I heard that only a few pieces were sent in total!" Lady Wang looked at these things and couldn't help but feel envious. She wondered when she would be able to get pregnant.
"Sister Song, are you really pregnant? It's so magical." As she spoke, Lady Wang stared at her belly again.
Liu Fuyin disagreed, "Sister Wang has also slept with me before, and she will eventually have a child, so it's not a miracle."
Lady Wang's face froze, but soon she smiled again: "Then I'll hold the baby when it's born. I hope you can bring me some blessings, and maybe I'll get pregnant."
When serving the emperor in the bedroom for the first time, Concubine Wang didn't know why the emperor didn't touch her. After that, the emperor rarely went to the harem and never went to her place, so when she talked about the child, there was genuine envy in her eyes.
"By the way, my sister is from the Song family in Jiangnan. I also went to Jiangnan when I was a child. At that time, the Song family was one of the richest families in Jiangnan. Born in such a family, my sister can have everything she wants!" Lady Wang said this with some envy.
Although Shang was of the lowest rank, he had no worries about food and drink and no shortage of gold and silver. Many high-ranking officials' families were not so rich, especially honest officials like theirs, whose lives were really not easy.
"Yeah." Liu Fuyin didn't want to talk too much about the Song family, so she nodded.
Who would have thought that after she opened her mouth, Lady Wang would keep asking questions, even asking whether she was the legitimate daughter or illegitimate daughter of the family.
When she asked this, Liu Fuyin suspected that she had heard about the Song family. Liu Fuyin did not give a clear answer: "Sister Wang, is the difference between legitimate and illegitimate important? I heard that concubines are also illegitimate. The queen is also a concubine."
When she brought up the Empress, Lady Wang was speechless and stammered, skipping the topic.
It was already late when they returned from Fengqi Palace. After chatting for a while, it was almost time for lunch. Liu Fuyin saw that Lady Wang had no intention of leaving.
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
As Wu Zhengxiang's shrill voice sounded, a man in a black dragon robe walked over, and Liu Fuyin hurried forward to greet him.
It’s not that Li Yize could wait until lunch time to come. During the morning court, two factions of ministers started arguing, and he was delayed for a while trying to mediate. Not long after the court was over and he had breakfast, he heard the news that Liu Fuyin was pregnant.
He originally wanted to personally draft a title for someone to be promoted, but the queen had already promoted the person, so he had to prepare a generous reward and have someone deliver it.
Seeing her bowing, Li Yize helped her up and wanted to hold her hand, but she dodged for a moment and he saw another woman kneeling behind her.
As there were more concubines in the harem, Li Yize didn't remember much about people. Now he looked at people in a daze. He was stunned for a moment and had to wave his hand to let her get up.
Liu Fuyin smiled, "Your Majesty, you came at an unfortunate time. I was talking to Lady Wang!"
"What a coincidence! Is there anything else I can't listen to?"
"We're talking about Sister Song's family affairs." Lady Wang continued with a smile.
"Are you really pregnant?" Li Yize wanted to reach out and touch her belly, but since there were outsiders around, Li Yize behaved a little more properly.
"Your Majesty is really a fool. You asked the same question as Lady Wang. Can this be a joke?"
"You really make me proud." How could he not be happy? There had been no news of offspring, and the imperial doctors had even tried to find a way to regulate his body. He finally had one and he was so happy that he walked briskly, but he got pregnant after only a few nights with his wife. It always felt unrealistic.
When the emperor arrived, he naturally sat in the first seat, and the two of them sat on both sides. This was according to the rules, but it just looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
When there were outsiders around, Li Yize felt uncomfortable hugging Liu Fuyin and being intimate with her, and he even had to think twice before speaking. So when Wu Zhengxiang asked if they wanted to have dinner, he said decisively: "Lady Wang, it's time for lunch, aren't you going back to have dinner?"
