For five consecutive days, His Majesty stayed in Concubine Zhao's bedroom every day.

Zhaopin and her palace people were very happy. Those who couldn't control their mouths wanted to spread the news to the whole palace.

This made the other people in the harem feel resentful.

"This Zhaopin is really two-faced. We agreed to give everyone a chance. But now that there is a real chance, she has taken it all for herself!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, they gave birth to a good daughter. I heard that Princess Huimin is now favored by His Majesty. In the past few days, His Majesty has bestowed a lot of things on her. I heard that some of the items are not even available to the eldest prince."

"The Queen is the same. She has now closed the palace and has completely ignored it. If the Queen was willing to lend a finger, Concubine Zhao would not be so proud now."

"You'd better say less. Now that the Queen is pregnant, she must be extremely careful."

Although we are just gossiping together, gossiping about Concubine Zhao is not the same as gossiping about the Queen.

"You are almost there. Our life is pretty good now. We don't have to worry about food and drink, and we have palace servants to serve us. Think about the noble lady Zhou before. I heard that she is having a miserable life now."

"Not only was she grounded, but I heard that the food and clothes she received were all of the worst quality. You live far away and can't hear anything. I live closest to her and I can hear her screaming through the wall almost every day. It's really scary."

"If she can still scream and shout, then she must have eaten too much. Deprive her of water and rice for a few days, and I guarantee she will calm down."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about her. She's a despised person. It's unlucky to talk about her."

"Yes, it is more important for us to think about how to regain His Majesty's heart. We must take advantage of the Queen's pregnancy to remind His Majesty of our previous love, and don't let Concubine Zhao suffer alone..."

"..."

The women's chattering did not affect what Li Jianguo was doing at all.

Zhaopin always had a doubt in her heart.

But she couldn't ask.

His Majesty saw that she came every day, and he could not say anything about her attitude.

After all, in her impression, His Majesty has always been like this.

Another thing is that every time after she had sex with him, she could not remember anything except feeling physically uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be like this.

However, the rewards that His Majesty has given to her and Princess Huimin these days are all real.

He even gave himself a cloisonné enamel phoenix hairpin that was presented as tribute by the local government a few years ago.

That’s a phoenix hairpin.

Only the Queen can wear it.

His Majesty gave it to her. Is he hinting at something?

The people in the palace are mysterious and confusing. In comparison, the general's mansion is much simpler.

Song Qingci had just returned from the palace today and found that Lou had sent her some medicinal herbs.

Upon closer inspection, they were all top-quality pregnancy-maintaining medicines.

"What happened to these medicines?"

Shan Li doesn’t know anything about medicine, but he knows A Ci.

Looking at Ah Ci's expression, he knew that this medicine must have some story behind it.

"Nothing, these are all medicinal herbs suitable for pregnant women. Some of them are quite old. They are things you may not be able to buy even if you spend money outside."

Song Qingci is in charge of the Queen's pregnancy, so these things may come in handy.

Shan Li suddenly put his arms around Song Qingci's waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, "Ah Ci, when will we also..."

The gentle words brushed past her ears like a feather, causing her heart to tremble...
