Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Cui Hanzhang didn't take her words to heart. What's his child? She said it was his in front of the emperor. There was no basis for it.

But no matter who it belonged to, he was happy to hear this. After all, judging from the difficulty the emperor had in having children, it might be his, so Cui Hanzhang cooperated with her and touched it twice.

She felt a little suffocated after staying in the palace for a long time, but she was pregnant and could not leave the palace.

Naturally, she had to find someone to vent her feelings to, so Concubine Hui, who was happily holding someone's hand one moment, turned hostile the next.

"Ah! Cui Hanzhang, you are so annoying!"

Cui Hanzhang:?

"Why haven't you done it yet..."

Before she could even utter the word "thing", Cui Hanzhang hastily covered her mouth: "Your Majesty is so bold, you are talking about the conspiracy so loudly."

"It's so annoying that you won't even let me touch you."

Liu Fuyin's thoughts were very unconventional. She was thinking about something bad, and in the blink of an eye she was talking about that "bad thing".

"I am also thinking about your health. Why don't you bear with it? When the baby is born, I will let you deal with it."

Liu Fuyin said "oh" lightly, and seemed to lose interest for a moment.

Cui Hanzhang is not married, but he has seen his sister-in-law’s temper when she was pregnant. It is unpredictable and there is no other way but to coax her.

"I sent a message to your eldest brother and also sent people over. As for your second brother, I also explained everything to him. But you don't have to worry about the details. This is not a rebellion or anything like that. What we want is a legitimate reason."

The imperial physician has diagnosed Liu Fuyin's twins, and it is most likely that they are boys. In this era, people pursue having many children and good fortune, so being pregnant with two at a time is a blessing. There is no saying that having twin boys is unlucky.

"Cui Hanzhang, you said so much but you don't care about me at all. Who knows, maybe that dog emperor wants to get rid of me!"

"I have secretly sent people to guard it a long time ago. I have also checked the furnishings in your palace. There is nothing wrong. If your majesty is worried, I will have people come to check it every day."

"Okay, then my safety will be left to my child's father." It's true that there is a system, but she can't rely on it all the time. Why should she worry about it every day when someone can help her check it? So she said this while hugging Cui Hanzhang's arm and acting coquettishly.

But no matter whether the day is boring or interesting, it passes quickly after all, and in the blink of an eye it is the last day of the year.

Naturally, a banquet would be held in the palace. New Year's Eve was a day for family reunion. There was no need to invite ministers. All the royal family members would just sit together and have a meal.

It was a lively night, and all the concubines, regardless of their status, could attend the banquet and have fun. Some of them would even play music and dance to get lucky.

Those concubines of lower status who normally did not receive much favor wanted to stand out during this lively day, and almost all of them prepared a program.

A group of beauties were vying for the favor of Emperor Yongde, but Liu Fuyin got the upper hand and watched a fairly exciting performance.

However, the person being argued about left halfway through the show, saying that it was snowing outside so he went out for a walk. It sounded as if the concubines' performance for him was even less beautiful than the snow.

But it’s not that he didn’t give me face, it’s just that staying in this room made me feel stuffy or uncomfortable, I don’t know if it was because I was stuffy or what.

But he was the emperor, and it was not good for him to show his discomfort openly, otherwise it would be bad if people spread the news.

"Your Majesty, are you having a headache again?" Yuan Gaoyi had followed the emperor since he was a child, and he had benefited from it, but his concern was also genuine.

After recovering from the cold, Emperor Yongde suffered from headaches from time to time. He called the imperial physician several times but the physician could not find out what was wrong. He did not know whether it was due to fatigue or the sequelae of the cold.

"No problem, just a little sleepy, just take a walk."

Whenever the emperor goes out, the concubines keep an eye on him. Although it is an annual banquet, he doesn't have to sit here all night. He can go out for a walk.

It was only because the Queen Mother was sitting there that everyone behaved properly. However, Liu Fuyin was a favorite concubine and was pregnant, so she stood up, bowed, and left.

"Is Concubine Hui looking for His Majesty?" Concubine Lu asked directly.

Liu Fuyin did not hide it, "Yes, it is snowing outside, and His Majesty is accompanied by only Chief Steward Yuan, I will go to see him."

It was asked, and Concubine Lu could not go with her. Instead, a prince joked, "I heard from outside the palace that the emperor and Concubine Hui have a deep friendship. The queen is pregnant but still cares about the emperor. No wonder the emperor likes her!"

"Since you are pregnant, you should have a good rest. The emperor is such a grown man and he has Steward Yuan following him, what are you going to do?" The empress dowager had tolerated her for a long time. She just couldn't stand the emperor doting on a concubine, especially when she was pregnant and still pestered the emperor every day.

The emperor only goes to her, no wonder there is no movement from other concubines!

Liu Fuyin followed her words and said, "Yes, since the Queen Mother said so, I will go back and rest early."

The empress dowager had no intention of letting her rest. Her face darkened when she heard this. It was the imperial concubine who tried to ease the situation: "The empress dowager is so magnanimous and considerate of me. It is truly a blessing for me and others!"

Her words did make the Queen Mother look a little better, but the Queen Mother's words made her look even worse: "I don't have any blessing. Having many children brings more blessings. What kind of blessing can I have?"

The scene here was indeed a bit awkward, but Liu Fuyin was walking leisurely on the palace road with two palace maids beside her.

She really didn't come out to look for Emperor Yongde. Lin Qingyan was not at the palace banquet today, so where else could Her Majesty go?

The snow tonight is probably the first snow of this winter. It’s not heavy, but the ground is covered with a layer of white. It’s a lively New Year’s Eve, with red lanterns hung everywhere in the palace, and lights lit inside.

So I didn't need to carry a lamp when walking outside tonight. It was rare that there was no wind, and the road was not slippery. The intrigues at the banquet were really suffocating, and I felt a lot more sober when walking.

Even so, Zi Su and Zi Lan were still worried as they supported her on both sides: "Madam, it's getting late. Should I ask someone to bring the sedan chair over?"

When she came, she was riding in a sedan chair, and the palace servants carrying the sedan chair were still in front of the palace not far away.

"Yes, Madam, you are so pregnant and yet you are still staggering like this. I am really scared when I see you! If you want to see His Majesty, I will go find you!"

"No, I'm just taking a walk."

I was just walking around casually, but I happened to meet Emperor Yongde and Lin Qingyan.

It was quite awkward when they met head-on. Lin Qingyan was afraid that she would get angry, so she immediately let go of her hand.

Seeing this, she had to greet him, so she could only bow politely.

It was indeed a casual walk, but if she really saw him, she couldn't pretend not to see him, otherwise it would be embarrassing for her as a favored concubine: "It was a little dark, and I just saw Your Majesty. Please forgive me! It's just that my eyesight is a little short. If it wasn't Concubine Lin coming to pay her respects, I would have thought it was the Imperial Concubine from a distance."

Lin Qingyan does look a bit like the imperial concubine, and Liu Fuyin said this on purpose, but she was more implying that she pretended to be sick and did not attend the banquet but had a secret meeting with the emperor.

“Empress Hui has misunderstood. I was just feeling bored in the room, so I came out for a walk and met Your Majesty.” Lin Qingyan hated it most when people said she looked like the Imperial Concubine, but the Emperor still had to maintain a weak image in front of her.

"Why are you here, Yinyin? Are you here to look for me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I came here specially to see you. Your Majesty, please go with me." Liu Fuyin hooked Emperor Yongde's hand with a smile. She did not gain weight after becoming pregnant. Instead, her eyes became softer.

Emperor Yongde did indeed meet Lin Qingyan by chance, and it was not the private meeting she had imagined. Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly felt a weight on her arm.

Lin Qingyan covered her head and grabbed his arm, like a little white flower swaying in the wind: "Your Majesty, I have a severe headache."

Although Emperor Yongde was slightly dissatisfied with Lin Qingyan before, he had been thinking about Bai Yueguang for many years after all, so after Bai Yueguang lowered her status, their relationship naturally improved by leaps and bounds. Now, she has restored her position as a concubine.

Emperor Yongde looked at Liu Fuyin who was pregnant, and then at Lin Qingyan who looked pale, and he was really conflicted.

What Liu Fuyin wanted was never the emperor's illusory love. She just wanted to make trouble for their "sincere love".

Seeing Emperor Yongde hesitating, Lin Qingyan simply closed her eyes and pretended to faint.

"Yinyin, Yan'er..."

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do but to walk a little further. Please send Lin Qingyan to see the imperial physician as soon as possible." Liu Fuyin turned and left. Emperor Yongde felt guilty when he saw her back with a bulging belly.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache again. Before the emperor could call for the imperial physician, Emperor Yongde fainted first.

Liu Fuyin, who was walking not far away, naturally heard the noise, but pretended not to know, but the smile on the corner of her lips became more genuine.

"Master Cui, would you like to walk together?"

"It's cold and snowy, why don't you hold an umbrella, Your Majesty?" The snow wasn't heavy, and Cui Hanzhang didn't hold an umbrella, but seeing the woman getting wet, he couldn't help but worry.

The two palace maids who had been protecting her had already stepped back to keep watch. Liu Fuyin stepped forward without anyone stopping her and grabbed his collar and pinched his chin. The snowflakes were floating, making her skin look even whiter, and the smile on her face was even more stunning:

"If I block the snow, how can I grow old with you, my Lord?"

She was standing peacefully when she was suddenly pulled into someone’s arms. A big hand passed through her waist, and her crossed hands were placed on her back. Cui Hanzhang rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, “Yes, let’s grow old together.”

After being hugged for a long time, Liu Fuyin finally thought of pushing him away, with a look of disgust on her face: "Hey, what's wrong with you today, Master? You're hugging me with such a sentimental look on your face!"

Cui Hanzhang just held her hand tightly and walked with her aimlessly.

The palace on New Year's Eve was not very lively. Only the main hall was lively. Palace servants were not allowed to walk around. Staying in the small courtyard and looking at the stars in the sky was considered a reunion with their families.

The palace was quite quiet at this time, but they could hear the crisp footsteps. Liu Fuyin stroked her belly with one hand and held his hand, walking all the way until they could hear the hurried footsteps of the palace servants from afar on the avenue. She suddenly turned around and said, "Cui Hanzhang, listen, that's Xue Luo's voice."

Cui Hanzhang let go of his hand, and looked at the lantern hanging high, which stopped moving forward and finally disappeared into the darkness. He said, "Liu Fuyin, wait for me."

The Emperor's fainting was a big deal, and soon everyone in the harem knew about it. Liu Fuyin was informed by the eunuch before she even arrived at Changle Palace, and then she hurried to Zichen Palace.

Her pregnancy is important, but no matter how important it is, it can't be more important than His Majesty. Let alone pregnancy, even if I heard that His Majesty was sick right after giving birth, I would go to see him.

The Emperor Yongde fainted at a very strange time. He fell directly on Lin Qingyan who was pretending to faint, and she almost couldn't continue pretending.

However, since they were all close to the emperor, she was temporarily placed in a side hall, but she would definitely be interrogated later.

"Sister Hui Fei, I know you are worried about His Majesty, but you also have to take care of your own health. Please sit down for a while."

The Imperial Concubine is now the one in charge, so naturally she has to care about the pregnancies of the concubines under her.

The concubines arrived quickly, and the queen mother arrived quickly as well. The first thing she said was to question, "Yuan Gaoyi! How did you take care of His Majesty? Why did His Majesty faint?"

"Empress Dowager, your Majesty has caught a cold several times in the winter. The imperial physician said it's nothing serious. I have been with your Majesty the whole time. The fainting was sudden, and Imperial Physician Liang is still treating him inside." How could Yuan Gaoyi know what was going on? He was not an imperial physician.

The empress dowager was furious because her son suddenly fell ill. After listening to such useless nonsense, she kicked Yuan Gaoyi.

The concubines all bowed in unison, and the imperial concubine hurried over to appease her, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please calm down."

She couldn't say anything to comfort him. After all, the imperial physician hadn't revealed the situation yet. If she said too much, she was afraid she would be blamed.

The Queen Mother was not happy with others, so she was not in a good mood when she looked at the Imperial Concubine. "Imperial Concubine, you are now the head of the harem, how come His Majesty is sick? Don't you know anything about it?"

"And Concubine Hui, His Majesty is ill now, and you are sitting here with a clear conscience?"

"I don't want to do this, but the baby in my belly is really making a fuss." Liu Fuyin covered her belly delicately. The Queen Mother couldn't say anything. She looked at the concubines beside her, as if she wanted to find some faults to vent her anger. At this time, Doctor Liang finally came out, "Your humble servant pays respect to the Queen Mother."

"How is the emperor?"

Doctor Liang also found it very strange. The diagnosis showed that there was nothing serious, just a fever and a cold, which was not a serious disease. The strange thing was that the emperor had been catching a cold from time to time during this period. The Queen Mother was staring at him, and Doctor Liang did not dare to hide it. He just said truthfully: "Your Majesty caught a cold and was overworked for many days, which led to his fainting."

"Caught a cold? Yuan Gaoyi, how could Your Majesty have caught a cold?"

The charcoal fire in the Purple Palace is always sufficient, so you will definitely not catch a cold in the palace. It is impossible for you to catch a cold just by going out in the wind. Your Majesty's body is not that weak.

But if he was asked, he would have to tell the truth about his Majesty's whereabouts. However, when the Empress Dowager heard that Lin Qingyan and Emperor Yongde were taking a walk, she felt something strange. After all, it was previously revealed that the Emperor went out to look for Lin Qingyan every night without anyone noticing.

So the empress dowager subconsciously thought that it was she who seduced the emperor, and that was why he caught a cold outside in such a cold weather.

When Lin Qingyan was invited out, she was slapped before she could react, and the Queen Mother was furious: "Lin! You seduced His Majesty and caused damage to the Emperor's body. What crime should you be punished for?"

Lin Qingyan just felt wronged. It was fine that the concubines were jealous of her and made things difficult for her, but why did the emperor blame her for his illness? She felt wronged just thinking about it, and her eyes quickly filled with tears, looking pitiful: "Empress Dowager, I am also very worried about your majesty's illness, but you can't blame it on me!"
