The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

Banxia couldn't help but say, "My lady, the peonies in the imperial garden are so beautiful."

Gu Yunyan nodded, smiled, and slowly walked forward.

Peonies are blooming in large clusters, in red, yellow, pink, etc. There are also some other flowers, all in a riot of colour, and beautiful beyond words.

She couldn't help but bend down and pick a red peony and put it in her bun.

It makes Gu Yunyan look even more beautiful than flowers.

Banxia and other palace maids and eunuchs who followed were all staring in amazement.

Banxia was the first to come back to her senses, and with curved eyebrows and eyes, she praised loudly:

"Your Majesty is so beautiful. It is a blessing for this peony to be pinned on your head."

The other eunuchs and palace maids also started to praise her.

You say something, I say something.

Gu Yunyan was amused and couldn't stop laughing.

She walked forward in a very good mood and was about to turn around the rockery to take a look at the weeping crabapple on the other side.

Then a faint female voice was heard coming from the rockery.

"Noble Concubine Yuan is so mysterious. We have never seen her once in all the time she has been in the palace."

Another cold snort!

"Mysterious what? I think Concubine Yuan is a demon in disguise. She seduces the emperor all day long and prevents him from coming to the harem to enjoy the emperor's love."

Banxia also heard it.

He took a step forward angrily, wanting to teach those gossipers a lesson.

Gu Yunyan stopped him.

Then she put her index finger in the middle of her red lips and made a "hush" sound.

Banxia had no choice but to hold back her anger and continue listening.

Gu Yunyan took a step forward and looked through the gap in the rockery, only to see three concubines in different costumes standing in front of the weeping crabapple tree.

With your back to the rockery.

The woman on the left in the emerald green palace dress exclaimed, “Ouch!”

"You don't know this."

"Didn't the emperor say before that he wanted to enthrone Concubine Yuan as the empress? But he was stopped by the ministers of the previous dynasty and the empress dowager."

"Empress Yuan said herself that she wanted to give birth to a prince for the emperor and become his queen."

The woman on the right, who was wearing a plain palace dress, took over the conversation and said, "Mr. Zhang, your Highness, our Lady Consort Yuan is really generous. She even wants to give birth to a prince to be the queen."

"After so many years, in addition to the good fortune of the Imperial Concubine, there is also Princess Anle."

"Who else in this harem has ever given birth to a child?"

"Empress Yuan is really fanciful. What kind of daydreaming is this? We have been in the palace for many years and have not been able to have children."

"She just entered the palace and she wants to give birth to a prince and become the queen in one go?"

"Anyway, I don't believe she can get pregnant. If she does, there's no telling whose child it will be."

The woman in the middle, wearing a maroon palace dress, sneered.

"That Imperial Concubine Yuan is guilty of defiling the harem, and she deserves death."

The other two women also laughed.

Gu Yunyan's face became paler and paler, her body swayed, and she walked out with misty almond-shaped eyes.

"Be bold!"

"You dare to make irresponsible remarks about the Emperor and me, kneel down before me!"

Zhang Da Ying, Hu Jieyushi and Sun Bin were horrified.

Frightened by the sudden scolding, he subconsciously turned around to look.

I saw a red peony pinned on the side of her bun, her hair was full of pearls and jade, she had willow-shaped eyebrows, almond eyes, a beautiful nose, and bright red cherry lips.

A beautiful woman with a slim figure wearing a purple palace dress.

A thought flashed through their minds: This must be Concubine Yuan, whom they had only heard of but never seen!

It’s so beautiful that it doesn’t look like real person!

The tears in Gu Yunyan's eyes flowed down, big drops like pearls.

Even her crying is more beautiful than theirs.

Banxia supported her mother distressedly, her eyebrows and eyes were serious, and she said sternly: "Why don't you kneel down for Concubine Yuan!"

The three people were nervous, but they just didn't want to kneel.

Sun Bin stiffened her neck and pretended not to recognize Gu Yunyan and asked, "Who are you?"

"Why should we kneel down? We are the emperor's concubines. You can't bully us whenever you want."

Gu Yunyan was sobbing sadly on Banxia's shoulder, unable to speak.

This made Banxia hate the three concubines even more secretly.

Her mother had suffered some injustice in the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion.

After meeting the emperor, she has always been pampered and protected by him, and he would not bear to hurt her in any way, except on the bed.

When have I ever suffered such injustice?

"What's going on? Why is Yan'er crying?" Xiao Ce'an frowned in pain.

Everyone hurriedly saluted: "Your servants pay their respects to His Majesty! May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

Xiao Ce'an ignored him.

He was originally going to review memorials in the Yangxin Palace, but without Gu Yunyan's company, he became restless and couldn't calm down.

So he went to the Imperial Garden to find Gu Yunyan.

Little did I know that as soon as I arrived, I saw Gu Yunyan crying and gasping for breath.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Xiao Ce'an hugged Gu Yunyan, wiped her tears, and looked at her with heartache.

Banxia said quickly: "Your Majesty, they are saying bad things about your Majesty behind her back and slandering your reputation."

"The queen asked them to kneel down but they refused."

Banxia spoke very aggrievedly, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Xiao Ce'an turned his head and looked at the three people opposite him, his face so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

There was a murderous aura emanating from his body.

Zhang agreed, and Concubine Hu and Concubine Sun lowered their heads and shivered, with cold sweat on their backs that wet their clothes.

Zhang agreed and said:

"Your Majesty, what this servant said is true!"

"Even before Concubine Yuan entered the palace, she had affairs with my eldest brother Zhang Zian and my second brother Zhang Zifeng."

Manager Wei thought to himself what a pity, it would be better not to say it.

If you don't say it, maybe there will be another one left, but if you say it, you will lose your life.

Gu Yunyan looked up at Xiao Ce'an with grievance, her face was pale, her emotions were fluctuating, and her lips were trembling:

"Your Majesty, I have no..."

She only said this, then closed her eyes, her body went limp, and she passed out from complete anger.

Xiao Ce'an's face changed drastically.

He picked up Hui Gu Yunyan and carried her back to the Yangxin Palace.

Before leaving, Xiao Ce'an's eyes flashed with coldness.

His eyes, like ice knives, shot at the three people, and his voice was piercingly cold: "Someone come!"

"Since they can't control their nonsense mouths, then pull out their tongues! Degrade them to commoners and lock them up in the cold palace!"

"Except Zhang agrees."

Zhang Da Ying was delighted. Could it be that the emperor was going to let her go?

Xiao Ce'an sneered.

Zhang Da Ying's eldest and second brothers, both of whom attempted to force Gu Yunyan, were killed by him.

"Zhang promised to be jealous by nature."

"You are guilty of slandering Concubine Yuan. You shall be sentenced to death!"

Zhang Da Ying widened his eyes in disbelief and opened his mouth to shout again.

Chief Steward Wei Yu winked, and this time the young eunuch covered Zhang Da Ying's mouth and dragged him away.

On the bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Gu Yunyan's eyes were closed, her face was slightly pale, and her brows were slightly furrowed even when she was asleep.

Xiao Ce'an gently stroked Gu Yunyan's eyebrows.

He turned his head and looked at the imperial physician and said coldly:

"When did Imperial Doctor Gou's medical skills decline? Why does it take so long to diagnose a pulse?"

Doctor Gou took back his pulse-taking hand and said excitedly:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Yuan is already two months pregnant!"

Xiao Ce'an's body stiffened, his heartbeat accelerated, his lips trembled slightly, and he forced himself to remain calm and said, "What did you say?!"

"Yan'er is pregnant?! She's been pregnant for two months?!"

Doctor Gou nodded and repeated his diagnosis.

Xiao Ce'an stood up excitedly and walked back and forth in front of the bed.

This means that the child in Yan'er's belly was conceived on the night of the marriage consummation.

He and Yan'er are really awesome.

He had never been as excited as he was this time when that woman was pregnant before.

The feeling between the two is completely different.

Gu Yunyan was his beloved woman, and she was pregnant with their child.

Xiao Ce'an's face froze, and he thought of something. He stopped and looked at Doctor Gou:

"I used to have sex with Yan'er every day. Are Yan'er and the child okay?"

Doctor Gou considered carefully and said:

“No strenuous exercise in the first three months.”

Xiao Ce'an looked unhappy. He and Gu Yunyan had been exercising very intensely every day for the past two months.

Is there something wrong with that child?

"Empress Yuan is in good health and has no problems."

"I just got upset today and had a miscarriage. I can't get upset again, otherwise..."
