A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 97 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Su Luyun 23

Bai Ruiji couldn't find an opportunity, so she asked the nanny to find her another chance to see the emperor. Although the emperor was a man who liked beautiful women, Bai Ruiji could only be considered a pretty woman, not even as good-looking as Jin Yuyan and Gao Xiyue.

Su Luyun's life became peaceful, but the other concubines' lives were anything but.

Inside Qixiang Palace.

Jin Yuyan and Zhenshu dismissed everyone and instructed Lixin to stand guard at the entrance of the west wing to prevent others from eavesdropping.

Jin Yuyan first followed the customs of her mother's clan to worship the gods. Although Jin Yuyan did not believe in Buddhism, she could only feel at ease doing this because she was far away from her mother's clan.

After everything was over, Jin Yuyan sat on the chair at the dressing table, frowned, and realized that she really had no other options.

Jin Yuyan said dejectedly, "Although the Emperor has entered the harem now, he spends most of the month in Zhongcui Palace. If this continues, when will I be able to get pregnant?"

Zhenshu slowly explained, "Consort Mu is very beautiful, but it has been three years since she entered the palace. I didn't expect the Emperor's interest in her to have not faded. Your Highness needs to keep the Emperor here, otherwise how can you get pregnant?"

Jin Yuyan sighed: "Don't I know? Although I am the highest-ranking concubine in Qixiang Palace, this is not what I want. I want to climb up step by step: Consort, Noble Consort, Imperial Noble Consort, Empress!"

Zhen Shu interrupted Jin Yuyan: "Your Highness, be careful, walls have ears. Let's think of a way to keep the Emperor here!"

Jin Yuyan thought of the Emperor's summoning of people from Fangnan Mansion to teach the pipa, and said, "The Emperor likes people with talent and skills, so you can compete with Beiqin for favor by dancing."

No matter how ambitious Jin Yuyan was, it was not something Su Luyun needed to consider.

Time passed little by little, and none of the concubines became pregnant last year. Jin Yuyan tried her best, but to no avail.

In the second year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, Su Luyun began preparing for pregnancy. She thought of Jin Yuyan's ruthless methods to achieve her goals, and that Jin Yuyan had also harmed Su Luyun in her previous life.

Su Luyun gave Jin Yuyan several pregnancy pills, shattering Jin Yuyan's wish to have a son.

When Su Luyun got her period this month, she learned that Jin Yuyan was pregnant. Then she thought of Chen Wanyin and decided to let Chen Wanyin get pregnant with a girl first, and then have a boy for her a few years later.

A month later, Su Luyun was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, who were Yongzhang and Jingyan in her previous life.

Jin Yuyan became pregnant 15 days earlier than Su Luyun, while Chen Wanyin became pregnant 3 or 4 days earlier than Su Luyun.

One day, when Su Luyun paid her respects, she learned that Zhenshu, who served Jin Yuyan, was skilled in medicine. She realized that Jin Yuyan already knew she was pregnant, which explained why Jin Yuyan's complexion had improved recently.

Qingying had a bad year. She thought that Hongli had become the emperor and his feelings for her had returned.

Last year, she received a plaque from the Emperor, which was spread by A'ruo. The Emperor became even more dissatisfied with her and ignored her for several months. She only entered Yanxi Palace because she had the Second and Fourth Princesses by her side.

The Emperor's affection for Su Luyun chilled Qingying's heart even more. She had received the same treatment as Su before, but now she was a marginal concubine. How could she be content with that? She used to be so different.

But now Qingying doesn't dare to cause trouble for the Emperor, because the Emperor won't bow down to her like before.

Another month passed, and seeing that Jin Yuyan still had no intention of revealing her pregnancy, Su Luyun decided to help her out.

Su Luyun first took the antidote for vomiting, then carried the beaded string that pregnant women are prone to vomiting. Of course, before they even reached Changchun Palace, Su Luyun had the system put a protective layer on the beaded string.

After Fucha Langhua came out of the inner room, Su Luyun asked the system to remove the protective film.

Jin Yuyan and Chen Wanyin both felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Upon hearing Jin Yuyan and Chen Wanyin's voices, Fucha Langhua's smile faded, and she asked with concern, "What happened to Consort Jia and Consort Wan?"

Gao Xiyue, being rather naive, was still speculating: "Could it be that she ate something bad?"

Qingying and Hailan deduced that Jin Yuyan and Chen Wanyin were pregnant.

Gao Xiyue continued, "Your Majesty, why don't we call a royal physician to take a look? It wouldn't be good if you ate something bad!"

Thinking that no one had gotten pregnant all last year, Fucha Langhua held onto a sliver of hope that the two of them had simply eaten something bad, and said, "Lianxin, quickly go and fetch the imperial physician!"

Jin Yuyan felt a pang of anxiety. She had wanted to keep it a secret for three months before revealing it, but she hadn't expected to be discovered today. When she thought that Chen Wanyin was pregnant with her too, her eyes darkened. No, no one could steal the attention of the prince in her belly.

Chen Wanyin was quite happy. The Emperor didn't visit her room often, and when he came to Zhongcui Palace, he always went to Su Luyun's room. Given her feelings for Su Luyun, she also hoped that Su Luyun could be happy.

Unexpectedly, with a chance of only once every few months, she was able to get pregnant again, and she and her sister can raise the child together.

Soon after, Su Xin invited the imperial physicians, namely Physician Wu and Physician Chen.

After bowing, the imperial physicians examined the pulses of Consort Jia and Consort Wan.

Physician Wu stepped forward and said, "The pulse of the Lesser Yin meridian is strong and smooth. Congratulations, Consort Jia! This is a pregnancy pulse. You are already two and a half months pregnant!"

Physician Chen stepped forward and said, "Your fingers are smooth and round, like pearls rolling on a plate. Congratulations, Consort Wan, you are almost two months pregnant!"

When Fucha Langhua heard the imperial physician's words, her hopes were dashed. The emperor was the ruler of the world and could not have only a few children. Moreover, as long as the second prince was outstanding enough, even the eldest prince would not be an obstacle.

After thinking it through, Fucha Langhua's face immediately lit up with joy as she said, "Congratulations, Consort Jia and Consort Wan. His Majesty will be very happy to know that you are pregnant."

Gao Xiyue felt a pang of sadness, realizing that she could no longer have children, but already had a third princess named Jingyue. She said sourly, "You two sisters have kept it a secret well."

Fucha Langhua displayed her magnanimity, saying, "Consort Hui's words are rather inappropriate. Since the imperial physicians are all here, why don't they take the pulses of all the sisters?"

Physicians Wu and Chen took turns examining the pulses of the Empress, Consort Hui, Consort Xian, and Consort Zhe, among others. They found nothing serious; these were just minor ailments among the concubines of the harem.

It wasn't until Physician Wu examined Consort Mu's pulse repeatedly that he said, "This old minister congratulates Your Highness Consort Mu; Your Highness is almost two months pregnant."

When Fucha Langhua heard the imperial physician's words, she was shocked. She had finally received the worst news. Su Luyun was favored by the emperor and was now pregnant. Wouldn't the emperor favor her even more? No, she felt that she could not let Su's child threaten the Second Prince's position.

Gao Xiyue was the first to speak: "Consort Mu, you're quite lucky!"

Fucha Langhua noticed her lapse in composure and said, "Congratulations, Consort Mu! His Majesty will be very happy to hear the news!"

Jin Yuyan felt uneasy. Everyone knew about Su Shi's favor, and Su Shi's pregnancy would also affect their status. She was determined to get rid of Su Shi!

Regardless of what the other concubines thought in their hearts, they all wore happy expressions and congratulated the three of them.
