Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress
Chapter 163 The Lustful Concubine in the Harem 29
"Emperor, what do you think of Liu?"
These days, there are always ministers requesting to establish a queen. Some of them recommend the imperial concubine, but most of them recommend Lady Liu.
Although the matter has been suppressed and no queen will be appointed for the time being, Liu is now pregnant with twins, and people outside are saying that she is a good omen. If this continues, does she really have to be appointed as the queen?
Nowadays, the Liu family still controls the military power in the frontier. If a daughter of the Liu family is made queen, the country will be handed over to the Liu family!
If she really had to say it, it would be best to kill the mother and keep the child!
It is inevitable for a woman to have accidents when she gives birth to two children, let alone two. It is not normal to have an accident!
However, the Queen Mother did not say this out loud. She thought that her son was just blinded, and it would be bad if she said it out loud and affected the relationship between mother and son.
Emperor Yongde had just dealt with a fight among concubines and was in a bad mood.
After all, not to mention that outsiders were watching every move of the palace concubines, they were all women of high rank, and fighting with a shrew would always make people laugh.
He would not give any judgement and punished both of them directly. If the empress dowager had not invited him over, he would have been angry with the imperial concubine as well.
"Mother, I know all this. You just need to be happy every day and take good care of yourself. You don't have to worry about these things." Emperor Yongde was not in a good mood at the moment, so he spoke in a serious manner.
The Queen Mother thought that he was impatient with her meddling in other people's affairs, and could not help but snorted coldly, "Why don't you worry about it? If I don't care about it anymore, I'm afraid you, the Emperor, will lose your mind and hand over the country to others!"
"Mother, do you think I am not afraid in my heart? It's just that the Liu family's affairs cannot be rushed. Now the border still needs the Liu family. How can I do something like abandoning the donkey after it has done its work? Think about it, how much effort did father put in to stabilize his position!"
He had no children, so he should have been happy about Liu being pregnant with twins. However, someone spread the news of a good omen, causing the old ministers to bring up the matter of appointing a queen again. Emperor Yongde was already in a very irritable mood, and the empress dowager also intervened to put pressure on him.
He originally didn't want to tell the Queen Mother about all this, but if he didn't tell her, his mother might cause trouble again, so he had no choice but to explain everything one by one.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager not only did not calm down, but instead said viciously: "According to my family, Liu should have died of illness after giving birth to the child, so that you, the emperor, don't have to worry about it every day!"
"Mother, she is just a woman..." Seeing that his explanation was not convincing, Emperor Yongde coughed several times in a hurry.
He somehow caught a cold the day before yesterday, and the medicine didn't fully cure him. When the empress dowager saw that he suddenly coughed and his face turned red, she fell silent and just said, "Take care of yourself."
After leaving the Empress Dowager, Emperor Yongde went to Changle Palace again. This time, there were more people in the courtyard. Liu Fuyin was basking in the sun on a lounge chair under a tree in the middle of the courtyard, reading a book and talking to the maid beside her from time to time.
He looked at it very seriously, and only stood up and greeted himself after being reminded by the maid beside him.
She was pregnant with twins and her belly was obviously bulging. Emperor Yongde helped her up without waiting for her to lean forward.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? I heard that you were ill again. Are you feeling better now?"
Liu Fuyin frowned slightly, grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked at him for a long time, her eyes full of concern for him.
"I am fine. Have you felt uncomfortable these days? If you need anything, please send someone to tell me."
Liu Fuyin's lips curled slightly, her face full of pride, "How dare those people below neglect me? I am your favorite concubine! But your Majesty, why are your hands so cold? I am so heartbroken. Your Majesty is really a fool. You should take good care of yourself in this cold weather."
As she spoke, she took his hand, had someone bring a hot water bottle to warm it up, and finally held it and pressed it against her swollen belly, "Your Majesty hasn't come for two days. Oh, the child is missing daddy!"
Babies of this age rarely have fetal movements, but the psychological effect is there. When Emperor Yongde gently strokes the baby, he always feels that the baby is moving in response to her.
"A few days ago, a piece of smooth and white fox fur was sent from the north. It matches your skin tone very well. I will have someone send it to you later."
If you just say a few nice words, you will get a reward. Liu Fuyin was naturally happy to say a few more words, so after Emperor Yongde stayed here for a while, she got several sets of pearl headwear and even a phoenix hairpin.
Now that there is no queen in the harem, no one would say anything even if she wore it. But given her status, if she really wore it, people might suspect her ambition. So she could only save it for later.
"There have been some rumors circulating in the harem recently. I wonder if Yinyin has heard about it?" Emperor Yongde said this right after he finished talking about the reward.
"What rumors are you talking about? Are there people saying bad things about me again? If I knew about this, I would tear their mouths apart!"
Emperor Yongde saw that she was still as angry as before and didn't say much, "Nothing, just two concubines fighting, it's not a good thing, I told everyone to keep their mouths shut and not to spread it."
Emperor Yongde still hadn't recovered from his cold after all, and he felt a headache after staying outside for a while. Liu Fuyin was pregnant now, so he naturally didn't dare to stay any longer. He coaxed her a few words and went back to call the imperial physician.
However, the reward he mentioned arrived quickly. After a while, Zi Su heard that several young eunuchs were walking towards this side with things in their hands.
The winter sun only shines for a short while, and when it goes down, the air becomes chilly. Liu Fuyin then goes into the house, where the finest silver charcoal is burning beside the couch, blowing away the chill that has come with the group of people.
The one walking in front was Cui Hanzhang, who knelt down and saluted as he approached: "I pay my respects to the queen."
"Master Cui has fallen out of favor, why has he been doing errands these days?"
If you think about it carefully, even the first time this man ran errands to deliver something, he had ulterior motives!
As a palm seal, why would he need to personally deliver gifts to win the favor of the concubines? He definitely has ulterior motives!
"Your Majesty is a favored concubine, so naturally I have to come here in person to show my respect."
The word "favored concubine" doesn't seem so awkward when he calls himself that, but it sounds like sarcasm when he speaks it out loud.
"Zilan, look at the reward."
The purse given to the young eunuch was normal, but the one handed to Cui Hanzhang was particularly heavy.
Cui Hanzhang skillfully took out the paper from the bag and said, "This is my responsibility. Your Majesty, please don't spend any money on it."
After giving the eunuchs the reward, they were sent away by Cui Hanzhang. Guessing that they were his subordinates, they left without saying much.
"If the queen really wants to reward me, why not give me something else?"
Everyone in the room was their own people, and they had retreated and were guarding the door as soon as Liu Fuyin started to make moves.
"My lord, why are your hands so cold? I am so heartbroken that you must be frozen. My lord, you are so mean. You should take good care of yourself in this cold weather."
Cui Hanzhang grinned again when he heard this, not knowing whether to say whether this woman was serious or not. It was not that he heard her say this to the emperor, but she said the same thing when he came last time.
Just as he was about to complain, he saw the woman holding his hand and placing it on her bulging belly, "The master hasn't had his period for two days. Oh, the child must be missing his daddy!"
Cui Hanzhang: ...This damn familiar feeling.
