Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 22 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (22)
Wang Youxi watched as Consort Rong brought out lunch, which was reheated again and again. Even at 1 p.m., the Emperor and Consort Rong were still in the study, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Consort Rong is truly favored.
"What are you daydreaming about? Have someone prepare a meal and send it to my bedchamber."
The emperor carried Liang Qiuli out of the study and quickly gave instructions to Wang Youxi, who was waiting behind him.
He then carried Liang Qiuli, who was burying her face in his arms out of shyness, towards the bedroom.
……
Fengyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Lady has sent someone to deliver what you requested. It is said that this prescription is very effective; some people conceived within a month of taking it, and it was a boy!"
The Empress sat before the bronze mirror, letting the palace maids style her hair. Upon hearing this, the smile on her lips deepened.
"Very well, I understand. You may leave now."
The palace servants respectfully withdrew. The Empress looked at her exquisite makeup in the mirror, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes. Now that a new concubine had entered the palace, the Emperor visited her less and less often. She had to conceive a royal heir as soon as possible to secure her position.
After the Empress had dismissed all the servants who had helped her with her toilette, she instructed her personal maid.
"By the way, have Lanxin speak to Consort Shen and tell Shen Qingyao to keep things peaceful for me. Don't let her fight with Consort Rong over such trivial matters. If she's going to fight, she should fight hard, like with the imperial heir!"
The Empress was obviously aware of the confrontation between Liang Qiuli and Shen Qingyao. She could only sigh inwardly, thinking that Shen Qingyao was truly useless. No wonder she had served the Emperor for so long before finally entering the palace this year.
The personal maid curtsied and whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise. This servant will go immediately."
The Empress nodded slightly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes as she realized the Emperor wouldn't be returning today.
However, tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month, and the Emperor will definitely come to Fengyi Palace. She must take advantage of this opportunity to try and have a son.
Qingxi Palace.
"Your Highness, let me apply the medicine for you."
The young palace maid carefully applied the blood-activating ointment bestowed by the emperor to Shen Qingyao's swollen knees.
Shen Qingyao squinted, enduring the coolness and stinging sensation from the ointment, her anger growing even stronger.
"Gently! You clumsy thing, it hurts so much!"
The palace maid shuddered in fright and quickly softened her movements, gently blowing on Shen Qingyao's knee to try to ease her pain.
After finally finishing applying the medicine, Shen Qingyao waved her hand with a displeased expression, signaling the person to leave. Just then, Lan Xin walked in from outside.
"Where did you go just now? You're always shirking your duties!"
Shen Qingyao, having nowhere to vent her anger, glared at Lanxin and said irritably.
Lan Xin knew Shen Qingyao was in a bad mood, but she still approached and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, I know your worries. I have a way to help you get rid of Consort Rong in one fell swoop."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao immediately perked up, sat up straight, and asked.
"What method? Tell me quickly."
Lan Xin gently approached Shen Qingyao and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, we can..."
After hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in Shen Qingyao's eyes, but then a hint of doubt appeared on her face.
"Can you get your hands on this kind of medicine?"
Lan Xin nodded slightly, her voice becoming even lower.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have a plan. However, this matter is extremely risky; if it is discovered, I fear..."
Shen Qingyao interrupted her, her eyes flashing with a resolute light.
"As long as I can get rid of Consort Rong, I don't care about the risks. Go and do it immediately, be careful and cautious, and don't make the slightest mistake."
Lan Xin nodded. This matter couldn't be accomplished in a day or two; it required careful planning to ensure everything went smoothly.
It's hard to say whether it will be Consort Rong or Consort Shen who gets eliminated in the end.
……
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Qingyao's punishment of kneeling was over.
After half a month of Lanxin's daily persuasion, Shen Qingyao finally managed to suppress her open dissatisfaction with Consort Rong and even went to Liang Qiuli's Chengqian Palace to apologize.
The emperor was very pleased to see this.
The emperor resumed his favor towards Shen Qingyao, but not as much as towards Liang Qiuli.
After that incident, Shen Qingyao didn't cause any more trouble and remained well-behaved until two months later, when she suddenly vomited while paying her respects at the Empress's palace.
Upon seeing this, the Empress immediately asked with concern, "Consort Shen, what's wrong? Quickly, send someone to fetch the imperial physician!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Perhaps I have not had a good appetite recently, which is why I feel this way."
Despite Shen Qingyao's words, the Empress still ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shen is pregnant, and it has been more than a month."
The imperial physician knelt on the ground and respectfully reported.
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in the Empress's eyes, but she quickly put on a kind smile and said to Shen Qingyao.
"Congratulations, Consort Shen! This is a joyous occasion in the palace. I will go and inform the Emperor immediately so that he may also share in the joy."
Everyone in the harem had their own thoughts, but they still offered words of congratulations on the surface.
Shen Qingyao looked at Liang Qiuli, who smiled and said...
"Congratulations, sister! His Majesty will surely be very pleased."
Liang Qiuli already knew about today's events from Lanxin, and even knew how Shen Qingyao conceived this pregnancy.
The show is about to begin!
"Sister Rongfei, you flatter me. I will have to ask you for advice on how to take good care of the little prince in the future."
Shen Qingyao responded with a smile, but her heart was filled with coldness.
Liang Qiuli, you never would have imagined that I would use this child to send you to hell!
The emperor was overjoyed upon receiving the news. After all, Shen Qingyao had been with him for several years since she left the palace, and he had been disappointed without any good news. Now that there was finally good news, how could he not be happy?
That very day, the emperor went to Shen Qingyao's palace. Shen Qingyao was already dressed in her finest attire and greeted the emperor with a bow upon his arrival.
"My beloved concubine, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."
The emperor smiled and helped Shen Qingyao up, his eyes fixed on her belly. "Is my son alright?"
The emperor has only had one son in recent years. Although the eldest prince is exceptionally intelligent, he still hopes to have more sons to bring him joy.
Therefore, every woman in the harem who is pregnant now desperately hopes that the child will be a son.
Seeing how much the emperor valued the child in her womb, Shen Qingyao felt a mix of emotions, a mixture of joy and helplessness.
However, now that we've come this far, there's no turning back.
Shen Qingyao's mind was racing, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the imperial physicians say the prince is healthy. I will protect him well until he is safely born."
As she spoke, a deep maternal love even shone in her eyes, as if she could truly feel the presence of the fetus in her womb.
The emperor was very pleased to see her like this.
