The male protagonist has no descendants! Don't worry, the host is pregnant with many children

It turns out that women can also have such insights and talents, and are not inferior to men. They just have their own strengths.

Qi Yan took this opportunity to raise her status. He said loudly, "Lady Zhao has made great contributions today. Come forward and receive your title!"

She walked forward with a confident and joyful smile on her face and knelt down to listen to the order.

"Noble Lady Zhao, you are intelligent, peaceful, pure, and gentle, and you have won my heart. I hereby appoint you as Concubine Zhao, and reward you with... one hundred taels of silver. Ten pairs of red gold bracelets inlaid with pearls. Ten gold-embellished hairpins inlaid with gold lace, a red fragrant jade screen with hundreds of jade flowers, a rosewood beauty couch..." A series of rewards.

After listening to this, everyone began to understand that this person truly had the emperor's favor, and some of the rewards were only available to concubines.

Concubine Shu felt even more angry. She suppressed her jealousy, forced a smile on her face, and congratulated Lu Zhihuan like everyone else.

The prepared substitute was of no use at all. Since she was no longer useful, there was no need to keep her.

Judging from the emperor's attitude, this bitch would be difficult to deal with. She had to find a way to let the empress dowager know how much she had suffered for the royal heir.

She just didn't believe that the emperor would not be tempted if he knew about it.

The Second Prince Duanmu Lei didn't say a few words the whole night and his mentality was very calm. Qi Yan thought that this person was not simple.

The banquet continued, and everyone toasted to celebrate this rare occasion. However, beneath this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, there were many undercurrents...

Qi Yan did not dare to be careless. He reminded His Royal Highness the Night King to make the deployment more careful. He suspected that Duanmu Kingdom came to borrow troops in order to let them relax their vigilance.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, the Night King's wedding day, gongs and drums blared and firecrackers exploded.

Even though the weather was so hot, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people and the streets were crowded with people.

The procession carrying the dowry was very long. One end had already entered the Yewang Palace, while the other end was still carrying it out of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion.

The fake daughter was so angry that she fainted.

Qi Yan must go to the wedding of His Royal Highness the Night King. Lu Zhihuan really wants to go and see it, but it is not proper for a noble concubine like her to go out with His Majesty, and she is depressed!

The emperor's honor guard arrived at the Night Prince's Mansion, surrounded by secret guards. Qi Yan sat in the main seat. After the two of them bowed to heaven and earth, Qi Yan left. Seeing this scene, he thought of Lu Zhihuan. One day, she would definitely be his queen, and he would hold a grand ceremony to crown her queen.

Qi Yan could have taken her there secretly, but ever since the Empress Dowager had spoken to him about Concubine Shu, she had been keeping a close eye on the Yongle Palace. Her attitude this time was very tough. He no longer cared whether Concubine Shu's words were true or false.

After returning, they went to the palace to escape the summer heat. Although it was a temporary peace, it was rare.

……

Lu Zhihuan was wearing a lavender gauze dress and lying in a rocking chair under a locust tree, gently waving a round fan in her hand. The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.

Lu Zhihuan: "It's going to be very hard for you these days. I've also heard that Concubine Shu suffered a lot for the sake of the imperial heir. Anyone who can stay so dormant must be very scheming and have sinister tactics. We must be on guard."

She then noticed Concubine Shu and asked the system to monitor her. The system data analysis showed that she was extremely hostile to herself.

996 [There is an % chance that she will harm the host. Host, be careful!]

She frowned slightly. Although everything seemed calm on the surface, the struggles within the palace never ceased. Especially when envoys from other countries visited, one had to be extra cautious.

Lu Zhihuan called over Hongyou, Yingyue and other palace maids and instructed them in a serious tone, "You must pay extra attention to the food, clothing and other expenses of Yongle Palace. You must not neglect them in the slightest."

evening--

Qi Yan was handling official business in the Imperial Study, preparing to go to the temporary palace the next day, when Aunt Xiuzhi arrived and delivered the Empress Dowager's oral instructions, ordering him to go to Guanju Palace today no matter what.

He used to listen to his mother in everything because he didn't care. But now it's different.

The people in Yongle Palace soon learned the news, which was the Empress Dowager's oral order.

She didn't know what Qi Yan was thinking. If he knew that Concubine Shu might have a chance to get pregnant, would he compromise for the sake of the child? Would he feel that loving her didn't conflict with his need for an heir? He was the emperor, and if he made such a choice, everyone would think it was natural. The Queen Mother was right, and Qi Yan was right.

She might be disappointed, but that's all. But I'd rather let the world down than let it down me. Who gave her the system? It's truly a game. Missions can be completed, but she'll retaliate if she's bullied.

996 [Host, I think you're turning evil. (Teasing)]

Lu Zhihuan [Shao Pin, it's just a momentary state of mind. At least I won't actively harm innocent people for a purpose. I'm already clumsy, so I won't let bad men trip me up again.]

……

Guanju Palace

In the magnificent palace, the air was filled with mist. Concubine Shu lay quietly in the huge bathtub, her eyes closed, enjoying the service of the palace maids.

The surroundings were filled with scented candles, emitting a faint fragrance. She was in a good mood. His Majesty always listened to the Queen Mother. Thinking that His Majesty would come later, she must seize the opportunity. She touched her belly and was determined to do her best.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. "What happened?"

Concubine Shu opened her eyes and asked sternly: "Your Majesty, it's His Majesty... His Majesty went to Yongle Palace..." One of the palace maids answered tremblingly.

"What?!" Concubine Shu's face instantly darkened. "Yongle Palace...it's Lu Zhihuan again!" She gritted her teeth, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. "Someone, help me change my clothes!"

At this point, Your Majesty still insists on going to that bitch's Yongle Palace. How can she be so embarrassed? This despicable bitch must be spreading rumors and sowing discord in front of Your Majesty, trying to coax you into submission. Otherwise, why would Your Majesty act this way? Now, how dare she so brazenly snatch away my opportunity to sleep with her? How outrageous!

I will never let her go easily. I will make her suffer all the hardships in the world, unable to live or die! Let's see if she dares to act recklessly again and compete with me for the emperor's favor!

I had already thought of several vicious ways to punish her!

……

Inside Yongle Palace, Lu Zhihuan had already finished washing up early and was lying on the soft big bed...

996【Host! 】

Lu Zhihuan: [Don't talk, read your sketchbook. Which chapter is it? Weren't you planning to divorce? Why are you back together with the male lead?]

This stupid system could clearly let her read novels, but it actually hides it.

996 […] It shouldn't have read her a novel just to comfort her. However, seeing her so engrossed in the novel, it felt a little distressing. The host must have been a towel in a previous life, so twisted.

Qi Yan, you better be clear-headed and don't let my host down.

Huh? It saw Qi Yan almost reaching the gate of Yongle Palace.
