The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Lu Junze was on a secret tour outside the palace. The place he visited was not far from the capital. That afternoon, he received the news that Huang Cairen was pregnant.

Lu Junze was very confused. He didn't even know who Huang Cairen was or what she looked like.

But he knew that in the past three months, he had definitely not favored any of his concubines, and even if he had, it was fake, so it was absolutely impossible for her to get pregnant.

...It is obvious that the concubine in the harem committed adultery.

Lu Junze's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. He didn't like these women, but since they entered the palace, he also fed them well and never made things difficult for them, so they should behave themselves. If they didn't want to from the beginning, then they shouldn't have entered the palace.

"I understand. Go away." Lu Junze waved to the guard who came to report the news.

The situation in the harem, especially the fact that Lu Junze did not favor these newcomers, was known to Lu Junze and Gu Shijin, and only Tianlin knew about it. After all, he was always by Lu Junze's side.

When Tianlin heard that Huang Cairen was pregnant, his face looked very strange.

Tianlin is a secret guard with a good memory. He still remembers Huang Cairen's general appearance. He really can't imagine that a woman like that would have the courage to commit adultery.

"Your Majesty?" Tianlin called cautiously.

Lu Junze looked up at him, said nothing, and turned away.

……

Huang Cairen lives in Qingxin Pavilion, a very remote place, even more remote than Ningyu Pavilion where Gu Shijin lived before. Usually, there are hardly any people coming here, but today Qingxin Pavilion is particularly lively.

High-ranking concubines like the Empress, Imperial Concubine, Virtuous Concubine, and Virtuous Concubine naturally would not come in person, but would only send people to deliver the rewards. However, those with lower ranks all came.

Especially those who entered the harem with Huang Cairen, except Concubine Wen and Concubine Zhang who was under house arrest, all the others came.

"Sister Wen is so lucky. She only needs to sleep with you once to get married." Although Concubine Lin's words sounded a little sarcastic, she couldn't hide the envy in her eyes.

Huang Cairen smiled while sitting on the bed, not even trying to get out of bed to greet him. "My sister is lucky."

"The imperial physician said that my fetus is unstable, so I will not get out of bed to greet all of you sisters." Huang Cairen said slowly. After she said this, what else could the others say? They could only bear it. They didn't dare to joke about the royal heir.

But I can't help but feel angry. Concubine Jin was about to give birth and she didn't do this. You just got pregnant, is it that serious?

"Sister, just lie down and have a good rest." Concubine Yao said with a smile.

Yuan Shu clapped her hands, and three palace maids came in with three trays. She said, "This is the gift my sister and I prepared. Congratulations to Miss Huang on her pregnancy."

Huang Cairen glanced at those things and his eyes lit up. These were all valuable and good things.

Huang Cairen was born into a poor family and was not liked by her parents. She lived a very poor life before entering the palace.

When Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu saw her like this, there was a hint of sarcasm in their eyes. What a ignorant thing!

Seeing this, Lady Lin said, "I have also prepared some things. Sister Huang, do you like them?"

In fact, the things that everyone prepared were similar, such as fabrics, jewelry, etc. After all, the people who came to Huang Cairen were not of high status. You see, even Wenpin, who had a slightly higher status, did not come.

"I like it. Thank you, sisters." Huang Cairen nodded and said to her maid, "Quickly collect these and take them to the storeroom."

"Yes, my lady." The maid stepped forward and said.

"Wait." At this time, Yunhua, who had been standing nearby, stepped forward to stop him.

Huang Cairen didn't understand what was going on, so she asked, "Aunt Yunhua?"

Yun Hua bowed and said, "My lady, the Queen Mother specifically told me to be careful with your pregnancy. I cannot accept these things casually. It won't be too late to put them in the storehouse after the imperial physician has examined them and confirmed that there is no problem."

Yunhua also looked down on Concubine Huang's petty behavior, but she was just a palace maid and all she had to do was to do what the Queen Mother told her to do.

When Huang Cairen heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Aunt Yunhua is right."

Yunhua is the Queen's personal maid. Although she rarely appears, everyone knows her. When she spoke, the concubines who presented gifts did not dare to say much, but they could not help feeling uncomfortable.

At the same time, a trace of envy arose. It was so good to be pregnant. Even the Queen would send palace maids to take care of her.

So the gifts were taken out for examination by the imperial physician brought by Yunhua.

The imperial physician knew that the empress attached great importance to Huang Cairen's pregnancy. He was not stupid and probably guessed what the empress was thinking, so he examined her very carefully. Unexpectedly, he actually found out something.

The imperial physician walked into the room with a batch of light yellow cloth, bowed and greeted, and said, "My dear ladies, Aunt Yunhua, there is something wrong with this cloth."

After seeing the cloth that the imperial physician was holding, many concubines breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was not something they had given.

Only Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu's expressions changed, as if this was a gift from them.

Yunhua looked calm, walked forward, took the cloth, looked at it, and asked, "What's wrong with this cloth?"

Yunhua was a maid, and it was definitely inappropriate for her to ask such a question in the presence of so many concubines, but Yunhua was the queen's person. Even if the queen was under house arrest, she was not someone they could mess with.

Imperial Physician: "Aunt Yunhua, this piece of cloth has been fumigated with special spices. Wearing it for a long time will cause miscarriage."

The material of this cloth is very good. Huang Cairen has never used it before, and it is the yellow color that Huang Cairen likes. According to Huang Cairen's personality, she will definitely ask someone to cut it into new clothes for her to wear. The person who gave the gift knows Huang Cairen's character very well.

Yunhua glanced at the concubines present and said, "My dear ladies, which lady gave you this piece of cloth?"

Everyone shook their heads, except Yun Yao. She raised her head, looked at Yun Hua and said, "This is a gift from me."

She was a noble lady, and even being the queen's maid was not worth her kowtow.

Yunhua was not angry, she smiled and said, "Lady Yao, did you give this fabric to me?"

"Yes." Lady Yao nodded, "But this cloth was sent to us sisters by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we sisters have not touched it."

Just as Yunhua was about to speak, Huang Cairen, who was lying on the bed, began to cry, "Lady Yao, we have no grudges against each other, why are you trying to hurt me?"

Concubine Yao was speechless at her pretentiousness. The emperor was not here, and she didn't know who she was crying for.

"Mr. Huang, don't be so careless. I didn't say I wanted to harm you."

"My sister herself admitted that the cloth was sent by you." Huang Cairen said aggrievedly.

"It is true that I sent it, but the cloth was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have never touched it. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."

How can I check this? Who knows what is going on?
