Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Zhonghe Palace

After Li Shiwen came over specially to express his gratitude, he stayed for dinner, and Qiao Xin personally sent him back to Liuguang Pavilion.

Originally, Li Shiwen was promoted to the position of concubine, and according to the rules, she should have moved to the palace, but Lin Junxue asked her to wait until she gave birth to a child before moving to the palace.

There are too many opportunities for the new palace to take advantage of, and it is difficult to guard against them, so there is really no need to take the risk.

Li Shiwen agreed, and was grateful for Lin Junxue's consideration for her in every way, which touched her heart.

Half a month passed quickly, and the harem was calm.

Since she was appointed as a concubine, Li Shiwen has become more cautious after the incident where she was almost plotted against by a palace maid. She stays in her palace all day.

Lin Junxue went to see her twice, and in order to prevent any further trouble, she was exempted from paying her respects.

The rest of the time, Li Shiwen never left the palace, just to protect the dragon seed in her belly, and she did not dare to be careless about food, clothing and other expenses.

Because of the incident with the palace maid last time, Lin Junxue specifically asked Xie Yu for another favor for Li Shiwen, allowing the Li family's nanny to enter the palace early to take care of Li Shiwen.

With this nanny, Li Shiwen felt much more at ease. It was already three months, her belly began to bulge gradually, her face became rosy, and she began to show signs of pregnancy.

As for Chen Xier, she also went against her usual behavior and stayed in her own Xianya Palace.

She hadn't come out for half a month and had also declined visits from other concubines.

Furthermore, because of the last time Zi Shuang was punished with a stick, Chen Xier never dared to make a fuss about the child in her belly again and stayed quietly in her own palace.

After she settled down, Xie Yu began to remember their old friendship and went to Xian'ya Palace to have two meals with Chen Xier.

Chen Xier has been with Xie Yu for many years, so she naturally knows how to win Xie Yu's favor.

After she used several tricks and put in a lot of effort, Xie Yu finally regained some of her face.

Because Xie Yu was busy with court affairs, he only summoned the Queen to sleep with her twice in the past half month, and both times were with Queen Lin Junxue.

Now no one in the harem says anything sour anymore.

Although the Empress was in favor, the concubines in the harem were not shortchanged, so they really could not find any fault with her.

Because the emperor really dotes on the queen, even more than he did on Concubine Xi before.

March

Early spring

Winter is over, everything is revived, the weather is warming up, the trees are beginning to sprout, everything is thriving, the palace people took off their winter clothes and put on spring clothes.

As the weather warmed up, more concubines came out to play, and the harem became lively again.

Tomorrow is the day for the beauties to enter the palace. This selection, which takes place every three years, has officially arrived.

Zhonghe Palace

After renovation, the koi pond is now twice as large as it was last year, and a lot of koi have been put in it. There are now hundreds of koi.

Lin Junxue sprinkled fish food slowly. As the sunlight shone through the pond, the koi in the pond looked dazzling, very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Guyu put the hibiscus cake that had just been made in the kitchen on the table.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow the beauties will enter the palace and be selected in front of the palace. I'm afraid Concubine Xi won't show up."

Danzhen poured the tea and served it with both hands, and Qiaoxin took the fish food from Lin Junxue's hand.

Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, Guyu is right. During this period, Concubine Xi has been staying in her own Xian Ya Palace. She has also come out once. I guess she wants to wait for three months until the fetus is stable."

Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly, looking calm and indifferent.

"Tomorrow, in the palace selection, Chen Xier will definitely appear"

Guyu and Danzhen were stunned

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty is right. If Imperial Concubine Xi does not show up at the beauty pageant tomorrow, I'm afraid she will lose her title as the favorite concubine."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly

"Of course, most of the concubines who entered the palace heard about her reputation as a favorite concubine, but they had never confirmed it with their own eyes. But according to Chen Xier's personality, she will not miss the opportunity to show off in front of the concubines tomorrow. Secondly, if she doesn't see it with her own eyes, how can she feel at ease?"

Danzhen and Guyu nodded. So that’s what it was. They didn’t think enough.

Danzhen whispered, "But Madam, when Imperial Physician Wu checked your pulse two days ago, didn't he say that he had read Imperial Concubine Xi's medical records at the Imperial Hospital and that Imperial Concubine Xi's pregnancy was unstable? Why is Imperial Concubine Xi still tossing and turning? Isn't she afraid that the dragon fetus will really be in danger?"

Wu Renlang has already read Chen Xier's medical records. Although there seems to be no problem on the surface, the dragon fetus is very healthy.

However, Doctor Wang, who was in charge of Chen Xier's dragon fetus, prescribed some medicinal foods for Xian'ya Palace that were clearly for preserving the fetus, and he couldn't fool anyone.

So, Wu Renlang told Lin Junxue his guess.

Chen Xier's pregnancy may have some instability, although it is not serious.

However, if the fetus is not well protected in the next few months, it will definitely not be saved.

Lin Junxue thought of Wu Renlang's words and curled her lips.

Although Chen Xier's pregnancy came in time, it was indeed a bit strange.

Apart from the problems with the fetus's congenital development, it shouldn't be the case that Chen Xier is pregnant with a dragon fetus. Why is she starting to use medicine to preserve the fetus now?

perhaps………

However, Lin Junxue was not sure whether Chen Xier had used some kind of drug to force pregnancy.

So, due to the influence of these drugs, Chen Xier's pregnancy had problems so early.

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, her lips curled slightly

"Of course she was afraid of not being able to keep the dragon fetus, but she was even more afraid of not being able to maintain her reputation as a "favored concubine"."

Elegant Palace

Doctor Wang knelt on the ground, trembling and sweating. Even at his old age, he was still threatened and bribed by Chen Xier to cover up for her.

Chen Xier touched her bulging belly and her face turned pale.

After she and Li Shiwen became pregnant, her face was rosy, which was completely different from the previous one. She looked as haggard as possible.

She no longer had the energy to get angry, and her voice was weak.

"Doctor Wang, you said my pregnancy was unstable. I've been taking the medicinal food you prescribed for half a month. Why? It didn't work at all?"

Doctor Wang wiped the cold sweat from his head and explained quickly out of fear.

"My Lady, your pregnancy is very strange to me. Logically, it shouldn't be like this. I have tried my best to protect your pregnancy. My Lady, if you want to give birth to the baby smoothly, you must stay in bed more, don't toss and turn, and don't get angry easily, otherwise..."

Doctor Wang glanced at Chen Xier's face and didn't dare to say any more.

Chen Xier's eyes widened, and her hands tightly grasped Zi Shuang's arm.

Zi Shuang endured the pain in his arm and dared not say a word.

Half a month ago, she was beaten with ten sticks and now she can't even stand steadily.

Zi Shuang immediately thought of the ingredients in the fertility medicine recipe, which was so disgusting.

The queen forced herself to use that prescription to get pregnant, and now the fetus is not even three months old. It is indeed so difficult to keep this baby.

Chen Xier gritted her teeth and stroked her abdomen. Her face was already pale, and at this moment, her expression was even more creepy.

She had gone through so much trouble and taken such disgusting medicine to finally get pregnant with a dragon fetus, and everything was fine, so how could something go wrong?

Chen Xier gritted her teeth. Now, she could only threaten Doctor Chen who knew the truth to save her pregnancy.

"Doctor Wang, no matter what method you use, you must save this baby for me. If I can give birth to this baby safely, I will reward you and your entire family greatly. If I cannot, you know the consequences."
