The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 16: The Pretty Little Palace Maid and the Heirless King (16)

Xiahou Li did not notice the girl's unhappiness. He held Yan Xue's hand and watched the people in the distance slowly approaching. After they got off the tower, Shen Yingshan immediately knelt on his knees and said, "Your Majesty."

"Lord Shen, please stand up. Lord Shen has won a great victory this time, which is a great contribution to the country and beneficial to the subjects."

Shen Yingshan bowed deeply again, "I am unworthy of this."

"General Shen, please stand up."

Shen Yingshan stood up, raised his head and looked at His Majesty. He also noticed Yan Xue beside His Majesty. He didn't know her, but he saw that his daughter standing next to him was fine.

She nodded happily. Although her daughter was a little stupid, as long as she was safe, that was all that mattered.

Many ministers nearby also saw Yan Xue and speculated in their hearts that this should be the newly-appointed Concubine De by His Majesty. They didn't expect her to have such a beautiful color.

No wonder she was made a concubine after only a month. Concubine Wu looked at the ministers with a dark look in her eyes. What a bunch of sycophants.

At this time, Eunuch De shouted from the side, "Set up the Baohe Hall."

Xiahou Li arranged a particularly grand banquet for this time. He sat at the head of the table and toasted a few glasses of wine with the ministers. Then he began to speak,

"Today I am very happy for two reasons. First, General Shen returned triumphantly, which comforts me. General Shen became famous at a young age, fought on the battlefield, and made many military achievements. He is a pillar of our dynasty. This time, he was victorious, which greatly increased the prestige of our dynasty.

Second, my beloved concubine, Concubine De, is pregnant, and I am very happy. Concubine De is gentle, dignified, and considerate, and is my favorite. This pregnancy is a great joy for our dynasty. I deeply feel that God has blessed me with a child, and I will take good care of him for the future. "

When the ministers heard this, their expressions changed. They all stood up and knelt down, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Some ministers looked happy, because they knew that this meant the royal family had a successor and the country would be more stable.

Other ministers exchanged glances, thinking about their own interests.

When Concubine Wu heard the news that Concubine De was pregnant, her face turned pale. She didn't expect that bitch would get pregnant so soon. Her eyes were red with jealousy.

But she still stood up gracefully, smiled warmly and said, "I didn't expect that my sister is pregnant. This is really a happy event. My sister must take good care of herself."

Yan Xue smiled and responded: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I will take good care of myself and the child."

Concubine Wu's face twisted for a moment, but she quickly covered it up.

Xiahou Li also patted Yan Xue's little hand, "I will take good care of you, too."

Yan Xue smiled sweetly, "I know."

All the concubines cast envious, jealous and hateful looks at Yan Xue, but Yan Xue calmly ate the delicacies in the bowl without even glancing at them.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace also heard the news from the front hall.

She paused holding the beads, then continued to twist them. "I didn't expect Yan Xue to be so lucky. She's actually pregnant."

Nanny An beside her also said, "Yes, God bless her and she is finally pregnant. Your Majesty will have an heir."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother lowered her eyes with an unclear expression.

"Tongzi, you said that life is so comfortable now. It would be nice if it could always be like this."

"Host, you look so pretty, but the soup with added ingredients will be served soon, so you must not drink it."

Yan Xuelie's red lips curled up slightly, "Don't worry."

"Give me some chicken blood."

"What?"

"Don't tell me you don't even have a little bit of chicken blood!"

"1 points."

Yan Xue was angry, "You want points for just a little bit of chicken blood."

"No matter how many points you get, it's 1 point."

Yan Xue gritted her teeth in anger, "Okay, give me ten pounds of chicken blood."

"Why do you want so much?"

"Save it for later use."

The system was grinding its teeth. It had never seen such a stingy host.

Yan Xue was full when a young maid came up to her and said, "My Lady Defei, this is Tremella Soup for dessert."

She looked at the soup, nodded, and the maid placed it on the table and left.

Yan Xue was not in a hurry to drink. Looking at the expressions of the people around her, she knew that a good show was about to begin.

Concubine Wu and Mingshuang, who were not far away, looked at each other. Mingshuang nodded. Seeing that Yan Xue was reluctant to drink the soup, she felt a little anxious.

Yan Xue felt amused that he got anxious so quickly.

She took the spoon calmly, her movements gentle and graceful. She gently put the spoon to her lips and blew it carefully.

There was a gleam of joy in Concubine Wu's eyes, and she stared at Yan Xue closely, afraid to miss any details.

Yan Xue felt Concubine Wu's gaze, she smiled slightly, and slowly brought the spoon to her lips. Her movements were delicate and gentle, and she seemed to take a small sip.

However, Concubine Wu didn't see it clearly, and she suddenly became anxious.

At this time, only Yan Xue's delicate voice was heard, "Too sweet."

When Concubine Wu heard this, her anxiety finally settled down and the smile on her face gradually widened.

Xiahou Li beside him said with concern, "If it doesn't taste good, don't drink it. What do you want to eat? I'll ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you."

Yan Xue shook her head. "No, I'm full."

"Well, let's go back. It's time for your nap."

Yan Xue yawned at the right time, and her tearful eyes made Xiahou Li feel itchy. What a witch.

"okay."

Yan Xue stood up slowly, but before she could stand steadily, she sat back down.

Xiahou Li was startled, "What's wrong, Xue'er?"

Yan Xue looked painful, "Ali, my stomach hurts."

"What?" Xiahou Li was startled and quickly said to the eunuch beside him, "Quick, call the imperial physician."

Eunuch De was also shocked. Nothing could happen to his master, or someone’s life would be lost!

The people in the hall didn't know what was going on. They only saw their emperor carrying Concubine De to the back hall, and Eunuch De also left in a hurry.

Shen Yingshan felt something was wrong. The expression on Concubine De's face just now must have indicated something wrong. He immediately looked at his daughter. Concubine Shen was also shocked by what had happened just now.

I was thinking happily, "It's good that something happened. It will make her proud."

Feeling his father's gaze, he turned his head to look and shook his head at his father. Only then did Shen Yingshan's nervous heart calm down.

Concubine Wu frowned. The drug shouldn't take effect so quickly. It should take at least half an hour. Why is it taking effect now?
