I just want to rob you of your luck

The Lantern Festival soon arrived. On this day, the palace would hold a family banquet, and the empress dowager, the emperor, concubines, princes and princesses would all attend.

Although Concubine Zhao was released from house arrest, the management rights of the harem were still in the hands of Concubine De and Concubine Rong.

In the past six months since entering the palace, Lin Jiuer has had a good relationship with Concubine Rong, and they would chat with each other occasionally when they met.

The main reason was that Concubine Rong was low-key and easy-going, and was very kind to her, so of course she didn't mind having more friends.

At the palace banquet that day, the two of them sat next to each other.

After the Empress Dowager and the Emperor took their seats at the top, they said some words of blessing respectively, and then everyone started to eat.

At this time, the palace maid brought a dish of steamed pork with rice flour. Lin Jiuer originally liked this dish very much.

As a result, today, when I picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and was about to put it into my mouth, I smelled the meaty smell and suddenly started to retch.

Rongpin looked at Lin Jiuer in surprise. As an experienced person, she quickly asked, "Is Wanpin feeling unwell? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Lin Jiuer shook her head awkwardly: "I'm fine. I probably have an upset stomach recently and can't stand greasy food."

Concubine Rong nodded in understanding, but she was still a little confused. Seeing that Lin Jiuer didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more questions.

This incident was just a minor episode and did not attract the attention of others.

Yuling took the dish of steamed pork with rice flour away, and Lin Jiuer continued eating.

After a while, the palace servant brought another plate of fried eel slices. This time, Lin Jiuer started to retch as soon as she saw the dish.

This time she made a lot of noise, and the emperor and the empress dowager who were sitting at the top saw what was happening.

Zhu Heng asked directly, "Is Concubine Wan feeling unwell?"

Lin Jiuer quickly wiped the sour water from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

She stood up and said, "I am fine. I just have a stomachache recently and cannot stand meat."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes lit up: "Since you are not feeling well, let's ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

Zhu Heng also nodded in agreement: "Help Concubine Wan go to the side hall first, and come back to report as soon as the imperial physician has examined her."

Lin Jiuer had no choice but to let Yuling support her to go to the side hall.

Soon the imperial physician arrived. This time it was Liu Yuanzheng from the Imperial Hospital.

After Liu Yuanzheng took Lin Jiuer's pulse, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Yuling asked worriedly, "Liu Yuanzheng, what happened to my master?"

Liu Yuanzheng quickly bowed to Lin Jiuer and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Madam Wanpin, you are now over a month pregnant."

Lin Jiuer pretended to be surprised when she heard this and asked, "Is it true? Has Director Liu confirmed it?"

Liu Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have been practicing medicine for more than 30 years, so I will not be wrong about whether it is a pregnancy pulse or not."

Yuling was also pleasantly surprised and said to Lin Jiuer: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, we are about to have a little master."

Lin Jiuer asked Yuling to stuff a purse into Liu Yuanzheng's pocket. Liu Yuanzheng gladly accepted it and went to report to Zhu Heng.

After Lin Jiuer was sent to the side hall, Zhu Heng had no appetite to eat, but he didn't want to leave his mother and concubines behind to accompany Lin Jiuer.

At this time, Liu Yuanzheng came over with a happy face and reported: "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is in good health, she is just over a month pregnant."

"What? Are you telling the truth?" Zhu Heng stood up suddenly.

Liu Yuanzheng affirmed: "It is absolutely true."

The Queen Mother was also very happy: "Good, good, there haven't been any princes or princesses born in the harem for many years, reward!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhu Heng excitedly walk out of the hall and head towards the side hall at the back.

The Queen Mother also stood up and planned to go over to check on Concubine Wan's condition.

The concubines at the banquet had different expressions, most of them were envious, jealous and hateful.

Concubine Zhao was no exception. Although she had already let it go, her face instantly turned gloomy when she heard the news, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

This little bitch is actually pregnant!

Looking at Zhu Heng’s happy expression, if she gave birth to a prince, wouldn’t he be able to ride on her head in the future?

She was so angry that she broke the ivory chopsticks in her hand, and cut her finger because she used too much force.

Seeing this, Aunt Cai stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, you must stay calm. This is a happy event. If someone spreads the news to His Majesty..."

Concubine Zhao calmed down immediately. Yes, she was still too impulsive.

Aunt Cai quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her hands, and then gave her a simple bandage.

Concubine Zhao could no longer sit still, so she stood up and took the palace maids back to Yaohua Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, he smashed a bunch of valuable ornaments.

Madam Cai was a little helpless. The Empress was still too impatient.

"My lady, why are you making such a fuss? She has just been diagnosed with pregnancy, and there is still a long way to go."

Concubine Zhao was a little annoyed: "Mammy, I have been patient enough, but that little bitch is actually pregnant. If she gives birth to a prince, His Majesty will definitely make her a concubine, as he loves her so much. Then her child will become Zhier's biggest rival. How can I not be anxious?"

Madam Cai said sinisterly, "Your Majesty, don't forget that pregnancy takes a long time. If something unexpected happens during this period, the baby may not be saved. Even if the baby is saved, it is not certain whether it can be delivered smoothly! Have you forgotten how the late queen died?"

When Concubine Zhao heard this, she was startled and then she showed a cold smile.

"Yes, I am anxious. Madam is right. Maybe she has two bodies like the late queen."

On the other side, the Queen Mother and Zhu Heng were very happy that Lin Jiuer was pregnant. The Queen Mother gave her a lot of rewards, told Zhu Heng to take good care of her, and then returned to the Cining Palace.

Zhu Heng personally sent Lin Jiuer back to Changle Palace.

He carefully carried the person into the bedroom and placed her on the large carved bed, then gently stroked Lin Jiuer's abdomen with his big hands.

It’s great that his and Jiuer’s child is there.

"Jiu'er, our child is here, I am very happy."

Over the years, he seemed amorous, but in fact he was heartless. Although he took many women into the palace, he did it only to paralyze the people in Duke Zhao's mansion.

I thought he was still the same pleasure-seeking and easy-to-control prince.

Therefore, after the death of the previous queen, no woman in the harem became pregnant again.

Lin Jiuer's birth made him very happy, and he secretly made up his mind to protect Lin Jiuer and her child.

Lin Jiuer was in a complicated mood. If Zhu Heng knew that she had just taken a fake pregnancy pill and that all this was a fake, he would probably be furious.

However, in order to complete the mission, she would definitely not reveal the truth.

Her face showed happiness and longing.

"It is my blessing to be pregnant with your majesty's child. I am really happy."

"Jiu'er, when you give birth to a child, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, I will make you my concubine."

Lin Jiuer was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I don't care about those empty names. As long as I can stay with Your Majesty forever, I will be satisfied."

Zhu Heng couldn't help but lean over and kiss Lin Jiuer's forehead, his heart moved.

He knew that Jiuer was willing to enter the palace because she admired him. At first, he just liked her appearance which resembled the late queen.

Over time, he fell deeply in love with this gentle, kind woman who loved him wholeheartedly.

"By the way, I have a letter from your brother here. I haven't had time to give it to you yet. Do you want to take a look?"
