Su Tong looked at Jian Qiu and said, "If there were more babies crying in the palace, it would be a happy event. After paying respects, let Concubine Qi and Concubine An stay."

Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't expect that the queen had really let it go.

Su Tong has indeed let it go. Wasn't it because Zhen Huan relied on her ability to give birth that she was able to climb to a high position? If An Lingrong and Concubine Qi could both give birth, then what would Zhen Huan be?

Su Tong looked at the concubines who came to pay their respects, especially Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing. These two were the main fighters of Zhen Huan's team in the later period. Although they could not be won over, they would definitely not be allowed to stand on Zhen Huan's side.

After the greetings were over, the concubines left. Su Tong smiled and said to An Lingrong and Concubine Qi, "You two have been in the palace for a while, but there has been no good news. It's time to find an imperial physician to take care of your body and get pregnant with a royal child as soon as possible. You must know that the most important thing for women in the harem is not love, but children."

An Lingrong raised her head suddenly, her dark eyes revealing shock. She had never expected that the vicious queen would allow them to have a child.

Concubine Qi didn't think much about it, thinking that she didn't get pregnant because of bad luck. "Maybe I'm not blessed. Although I've served the emperor the most, my belly has not moved."

An Lingrong lowered her head, not knowing whether the Queen was sincere or not, so she could only say cautiously, "Perhaps it's because of my poor health that I haven't been able to get pregnant yet..."

Su Tong smiled and said: "Don't be so pessimistic. I heard that it is common for rural women to get pregnant in their 30s. You are in your prime now, so you will definitely be lucky. Maybe you are just not lucky enough.

Well, each of you two should give me something to wear, preferably something that I treasure the most. I will then ask someone to offer half of it to the Goddess of Childbirth, and maybe good luck will come to me.”

Concubine Qi's eyes lit up, and she looked around, then took off a string of red beads from her neck, "These are the coral beads that Your Majesty gave to me. I have been wearing them close to my body, and these beads are stained with my scent. I will give them to Your Majesty today."

An Lingrong didn't know whether it was true or not, but when she saw the string of beads, her heart tightened. Others didn't know what the beads were about, but she was the only one who knew. At the same time, she also wanted to test the Queen's intentions and see what she would do.

As a result, Su Tong took the thing with a smile, and then looked at An Lingrong next to him. The other party hesitated for a moment and put on a silver bracelet from her wrist.

"I have been wearing this since I entered the palace. It was prepared for me by my mother."

Su Tong patted their hands and said, "I will ask the imperial physician to take care of your health later. I also hope to hear your happy news as soon as possible."

An Lingrong was very timid to begin with, and she soon realized that the Queen really wanted the two of them to be suspicious. She felt relieved, thinking that the Queen was not as vicious as they thought.

In addition, Su Tong also asked the imperial physician to prescribe some nourishing medicinal herbs for several young ladies and some nobles. All the herbs came from his private storehouse. In short, whoever could bring good news would be greatly rewarded.

After the emperor learned about this, he went to the queen's palace and said with a look of satisfaction: "The queen is virtuous, which is a blessing for the six palaces. It is also my blessing to have such a virtuous wife."

Su Tong had a shy look on his face, but he was already rolling his eyes in his heart. The old man was really shameless. He made those concubines in the harem pregnant just to increase his confidence. Don't flatter yourself.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Ever since Wanpin... ahem, Mochou left the palace, there has been no good news from the concubines in the harem. It is all my fault as the Queen Mother.

I just hope that the emperor will treat all the concubines equally and that the concubines in the harem can also bring good news."

The emperor agreed with a smile, and in order to show that he valued the queen enough, he even rested with the queen today.

As a result, the health of these concubines recovered, and there was no news of any pregnancy, which showed that the emperor's health was not good.

Su Tong was so angry that his mouth was about to bubble. He took out his own collection and gave one each to An Lingrong and Concubine Qi. He also gave one each to the other concubines who had come to rely on him. This thing was extremely precious, and he would not give any to the concubines except those who really stood on his side.

Sure enough, within less than three months, good news came from five concubines in the harem, including An Lingrong and Concubine Qi, as well as two little concubines and a noble lady. These were all concubines who had surrendered to him and were the most loyal.

Su Tong immediately informed the emperor of the happy event, and also expressed his intention to promote them quickly so that all the high-ranking concubines could occupy the throne, so that Zhen Huan would have nothing after returning to the palace.

"It has been a long time since there has been any good news from the palace. I would like to take this opportunity to bring some joy to the palace.

Especially Concubine An, who is the most respectful to me and pleases the Emperor. While she is pregnant, why not promote her to the rank of Concubine and choose a suitable position."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. With a wave of his hand, he named Concubine Qi as Concubine Qi and An Lingrong as Concubine Jin.

The word "Jin" has a very good meaning, and I heard that it has a good reputation. It seems that the emperor really likes An Lingrong.

The remaining pregnant concubines were directly promoted to a higher level. Two of them became constant concubines, and the other one became a concubine.

The emperor wanted to promote other concubines, but was rejected by Su Tong on the grounds that they had already been promoted once before and they were not pregnant, so forget it.

The emperor did not refute, but the positions of the four concubines have been filled. There are a few people in the position of imperial concubines, but after these people give birth to children, the positions will probably be full.

An Lingrong never thought that she would have the chance to get pregnant in this life, and she immediately became devoted to the Queen.

Su Tong had no intention of having an abortion, so ten months later, all of them gave birth to their children safely. An Lingrong gave birth to a little prince, and Concubine Qi gave birth to a little princess.

The two concubines gave birth to two little princes. Although they were conferred the title of noble ladies, their status was low and they could not raise the children themselves.

Su Tong looked through the harem and found that the only high-ranking concubines standing on his side were An Lingrong and Concubine Qi. Of course, he would not let the two children fall into the hands of others, so he immediately ordered the two noble ladies to raise the children themselves and let them enjoy the position of concubine.

The remaining concubine was pregnant and gave birth to a little princess. There were suddenly so many children in the palace. Although Concubine Jing was raising Princess Longyue, she was still worried. With so many children, Longyue would not be favored anymore.

When the Queen Mother learned that she had so many grandchildren, she happily rewarded her with a lot of things. At the same time, Su Tong also mentioned another thing.

"The Third Prince is getting old, it's time to choose a wife for him. Also... the Emperor has been thinking about my sister all these years. In this case, I would like to take this opportunity to choose a few more people, and at the same time choose a few from the Ulanara clan."
