Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

After I became pregnant, the food was indeed better than before, and I even had a little palace maid serving me.

If the women in the harem did not have any deep hatred or grudges, they would not think of having an abortion. In addition, their status was low, so no one noticed them at all. At most, they thought they were lucky enough to get pregnant after just one night of sleeping with the emperor. Some people even asked them about the secret recipe for having a child.

Due to her low seniority, Su Tong was not qualified to pay respects to the Empress, so she stayed in her own palace every day to take care of her pregnancy. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs might be able to criticize the concubines, but they would never dare to criticize the princes and princesses, so the treatment here was quite good, at least comparable to that of Concubine Huan.

"My dear, look at that worthless girl in the next yard. Isn't she pregnant with a child? What's the big deal? She stays in her own little yard all day. I don't know who is trying to harm her."

When Concubine Huan heard the sour words said by the little palace maid, her heart was also filled with jealousy. Although she looked down on Su Tong and her cautious appearance, she was extremely envious of the fact that she was pregnant. In theory, her chances of getting pregnant were not low. In addition, after she became pregnant, the Emperor often visited Su Tong, but mostly stayed overnight at her place. Unfortunately, there was no movement in her stomach.

"It would be great if I could get pregnant. The emperor likes me. If I get pregnant, I will be promoted to a concubine. If I give birth to a little prince, I will be made a concubine. If I can hold on for a few more years, I might become one of the four concubines..."

When Concubine Huan thought of this, her eyes lit up immediately, but it was a pity that all this was just her imagination. There was still no movement in her belly. Even if it was a little princess, it would be much better than enduring the days like now. The women in the harem might want to have a child to pass the time, but more of them wanted to have hope for their future.

The maidservant next to her said immediately, "Although the master cannot give birth, you can report one. Isn't there a ready-made one? Isn't it just a pregnancy? What's the big deal? You can give birth but you can't raise the child by your side. Anyway, you are so favored. When the time comes, you can just ask the emperor for a few words and hold the child by your side. After a long time, the child will become your own."

Concubine Huan did have this idea, but the child's biological mother was still alive. Even if she took the child to raise with her, as long as the other party was alive, she would never be able to become the little prince's biological mother. But what if the other party died?

As soon as Concubine Huan had this thought, she immediately shook her head vigorously, trying to put the idea behind her. She absolutely couldn't think like that. Once she did it, they would really no longer be sisters.

Although Concubine Huan did not like Su Tong, she also understood that her current favor was inseparable from Su Tong's thoughts. But when she thought that the other party was pregnant earlier than her, she could not stop feeling jealous.

Su Tong didn't know about all this mess. After she was three months pregnant, Su Tong started walking around in the yard. Especially when the weather was getting colder day by day, there was still enough charcoal fire in his yard.

Concubine Huan also had charcoal fire, and because she was quite favored, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to blame her, so the two sisters were able to spend a warm winter.

"Master, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some high-quality red charcoal over and said that this was ordered by the Empress Dowager. You are pregnant. This high-quality red charcoal burns without smoke or dust, and even has a faint fragrance.

You have to know that only noble concubines and above can own red charcoal, and concubines of other status have never even seen it."

Su Tong couldn't get used to the smell of the charcoal fire. Who knows what spices were added to it, so he asked someone to give half of the best charcoal fire to Concubine Huan and the other half to the servants below.

"Master, such a good thing..." Xiaoya didn't dare to use such a good thing. As servants, they could just use some charcoal.

"Okay, you have been following me all the time, and you have suffered a lot before. This is what you deserve." Most of the palace maids serving Su Tong were newcomers, but after a period of training, they were all very obedient. Most of them were because Su Tong was pregnant, and they had a goal in life.

Concubine Huan looked at the red charcoal that the other party sent over and forced a smile. Even though she had become the emperor's favorite concubine, she still had never enjoyed such good charcoal fire. It was indeed different being pregnant. However, she did appreciate the favor and asked someone to send over some of the cloth that the emperor had given her before as a return gift.

The weather was getting colder day by day, until the first snow fell outside. Su Tong no longer liked to go out. He used to walk around in the small courtyard, but now there was ice everywhere and he really didn't dare to take the risk. He just walked around in his room and stayed in bed most of the time.

The emperor doesn't like to come here anymore. He used to favor them because they were novel, but as time went by, there were many women in the harem. If it weren't for Su Tong's pregnancy, the emperor would have forgotten about them long ago.

Perhaps it was because it was close to New Year's Eve, two good news came from the harem one after another. Concubine Li, who gave birth to the second princess, was pregnant. People said that if she could give birth to a little prince this time, then she would have both a son and a daughter.

The concubines in the harem would be thankful to have one child. If they could have a son and a daughter, their ancestors would be extremely happy.

Li Jieyu was directly promoted to concubine because of her pregnancy. Even though she gave birth to a little princess, she became the mistress of the palace.

The other pregnant one was Concubine De, one of the four concubines. Her father was the emperor's teacher. If she gave birth to a little princess, it would be fine, but if it was a little prince, then the empress would have a headache.

It was only after Su Tong came here for half a year that he became familiar with the entire harem. The main reason was that he had no connections at the beginning, so he had to rely on learning many things. After he gained favor, he found ways to find out a lot of information, so that when he left the harem in the future, he would not offend others or break taboos.

The Queen was indeed facing a formidable enemy. Defei grew up with the Emperor as childhood sweethearts, and when she first entered the palace she was a noble concubine. Later, when she was conferred the title of Concubine, she had no children. If she waited for her to give birth to a little prince, wouldn't she become a noble concubine?

Although the Queen was not a vicious person, she would never allow anyone to threaten her position, so Defei had a very hard time carrying this baby. Fortunately, the Queen didn't care about these minions at all. In order to show her virtue and magnanimity, the pregnant concubines lived quite well.

"Your Majesty, there has been a lot of good news coming out of the palace. I would like to take this opportunity to invite the six palaces to share in the good news." In order to win over some of the lower-ranking concubines and promote her own people, the queen directly prepared to confer titles on the six palaces. "Forget about the higher-ranking concubines. The six palaces were just conferred titles two years ago. It is not appropriate to confer titles again this time. Let's just confer titles on some of the lower-ranking concubines this time."
