"really?"

"Of course it's true. Lady Wang is so lucky. She never thought she would have a dragon seed."

Min Ning was nearly forty years old, so naturally he hoped to have many children. You know, he had ten princesses but only one prince.

This was already a regret in his heart. Now, when he heard that a concubine was pregnant, Min Ning was so happy that his face was full of smiles.

"Come on, follow me to see Lady Wang."

Min Ning was halfway through his walk when he suddenly turned around and found Xianxian standing there in a daze, having not yet reacted.

"Yier, come with me to take a look."

Looking at Min Ning who turned around and walked in front again, there was not much joy on Xianxian's face.

At this time, Concubine Wang's palace was very lively. Concubine Quan, Concubine Ru and others were all there, chattering and congratulating Concubine Wang.

This Concubine Wang was not very favored. She had been in the palace for more than four years. When Concubine Xiang was favored, she did get favor for a few days by chance.

Perhaps it was because of the favor she received during these few days that she had the honor of becoming pregnant.

Concubine Quan and others quickly stood up and saluted. Concubine Wang also wanted to step forward and kneel to salute, but Min Ning quickly stepped forward and supported her.

Xianxian, who was standing aside, stepped forward and knelt down to bow to Concubine Quan, "Empress Quan."

"Okay, get up."

At this time, Min Ning helped Concubine Wang to sit down, and his movements were very cautious, obviously cherishing the dragon fetus in Concubine Wang's belly.

Min Ning gently stroked Lady Wang's belly and asked, "Have you called the imperial physician to check on her? How is your health? Is the dragon fetus safe?"

"How come you didn't know you were pregnant until four months?"

Lady Wang didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of joy.

Now everyone is praising her, and Min Ning's eyes are full of herself.

Concubine Quan, who was in charge of the palace power, spoke first, "The imperial physician just came to see Concubine Wang. She has irregular menstruation to begin with, but she did have her period once during this period, so she didn't take it seriously."

"Lady Wang thought she had eaten too much and her waist had become fatter. I was worried about her health, so I specially summoned the imperial physician to check her pulse. Only then did I know that she was pregnant."

These few short sentences revealed the fact that Concubine Wang was hiding her pregnancy.

At this time, Concubine Wang also said with a face full of remorse, "Your Majesty, it is really because I was too careless that I never realized I was pregnant. I have not felt nauseous or retched in the past four months, let alone sleepiness or nausea. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

What is the punishment?

Min Ning wanted to worship Concubine Wang, so how could he bear to punish her?

Sure enough, Min Ning patted the back of Lady Wang's hand and comforted her, "I can't bear to punish you. After all, you are my great contributor."

"Pass on my decree. Concubine Wang has been rewarded for her contribution in carrying the dragon fetus. She will be promoted to the rank of Third Rank Concubine. If she waits until the dragon fetus is born, I will have another reward."

At this moment, Concubine Wang was the center of attention, and the concubines in the other palaces looked at her with envy. They wished they were the ones who got pregnant and were the lucky ones.

Xianxian stood aside without saying anything. When Rupin saw her like this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

So what if you are favored?

All you can do is stare at it with envy. You deserve it for not having a healthy stomach.

Concubine Wang put her hands on her belly, and the pride in her eyes was about to overflow.

At this time, Concubine Quan suggested to Min Ning, "Today is the wedding day of Concubine Wang, why don't you stay and accompany Concubine Wang, and I will go back with the sisters in the harem."

"Okay, you go."

Min Ning was obviously very pleased with Concubine Quan's considerate behavior, and his eyes never left Concubine Wang's belly.

Originally, Xianxian was the only favored one, but now it has collapsed because Concubine Wang revealed that she is four months pregnant.

As Xianxian stepped out of Concubine Wang's palace, Rupin, who was a step slower than her, caught up with her.

"Princess Zhao is really fast. I almost couldn't catch up with you. What's wrong? Are you upset because you saw that Concubine Wang is pregnant?"

Ever since she lost face in front of Xianxian last time, Rupin has not launched a direct attack.

She learned her lesson this time and knew when to find the right opportunity to step on Xianxian.

Rupin gently stroked the hair accessories on her head, with the palace maid supporting her wrist, and her eyes fell somewhat presumptuously on her slender belly.

"Princess Zhao has been favored for so long, why is there still no sign of pregnancy?"

Originally, Xianxian didn't want to engage in an argument, but Rupin was really stupid and insisted on chasing her and chattering.

Xianxian took a handkerchief and fanned her ears. Her movements were elegant yet a little deliberate.

"Pearl, listen, why does it sound like there's a mosquito buzzing in my ear?"

Hearing that Xianxian was mocking Rupin, Zhenzhu forced herself not to laugh out loud.

"My lady, next time I will prepare a mosquito repellent sachet for you, and I will never let mosquitoes bother you."

"Yeah, that's right. We should prepare mosquito repellent sachets."

Xianxian seemed to react only after she finished speaking, and stared at Rupin with some surprise on her face.

"Oh, I almost didn't notice Rupin. I wonder why she's chasing me? Is she jealous of Concubine Wang's belly? But Rupin is already too old to get pregnant, so why would she want to have another child?"

This was a satire on Rupin's aging and fading beauty. Rupin was so angry that her chest heaved and she immediately raised her hand and waved towards Xianxian.

Unexpectedly, Xianxian caught it with her backhand and pushed her out with force. If it weren't for the palace maid supporting her, Rupin would have made a fool of herself.

"Princess Ru, I respect you for being old enough to be my mother, so I respect you out of respect for the elderly. Don't get too carried away, or I'll throw your dignity and dignity to the ground."

Xianxian didn't indulge her at all. She raised her hand with a cold face and let Zhenzhu hold her arm. She snorted, raised her chin, turned around and got on the sedan chair.

After Rupin stood firm, she wanted to continue pestering. Quan Fei, who was sitting on the sedan chair and watching the show, knew that this time it was Rupin's fault.

So she called out to Rupin and said, "Rupin, I am still here. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous?"

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Zhao who spoke wildly, and I was just angry for a moment."

Rupin was the first to complain, looking at Quanfei with an aggrieved look.

But Concubine Quan frowned slightly and warned, "Your Majesty hasn't left yet, do you want His Majesty to know?"

After hearing this, Rupin dared not make a fuss anymore. She gritted her teeth unwillingly and finally got on her sedan chair in shame.

Xianxian didn't take Rupin seriously at all. She thought she was just a clown, but she wanted to show off in front of her. She was so shameless.

When the sedan chair passed by the Imperial Garden, Xianxian stopped for some reason and asked Zhenzhu to accompany her for a walk.

After these days of coercion and inducement, Xianxian has completely won Zhenzhu over, so she lets Zhenzhu follow her in everything.

"My lady, where are we going?"

Zhenzhu supported Xianxian and asked softly.

Xianxian looked at the scenery of the Imperial Garden and walked forward slowly while admiring it.

"I just want to walk around and relax."

"Is your Majesty unhappy because Concubine Wang is pregnant? Don't worry, according to your Majesty's favor, you will definitely have your own child soon."
