My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Mingzhao picked up her chopsticks and looked at the dishes laid out on the table, whether steamed, stir-fried, boiled, or fried, there was something for everyone. But she just couldn't muster any appetite, and only felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Even if she manages to force it down, she'll vomit it all up after a while, and this has been going on for almost ten days.

At first, Wei Rongxuan thought his daughter was pretending to avoid punishment. In fact, he knew his daughter's personality better than anyone else: she was ambitious but incompetent and extremely concerned about saving face.

She was bound to be upset after being slapped and confined to her quarters, so he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until the maidservant told him that the young lady hadn't eaten for three days and had vomited everything up that he realized something was wrong.

After the couple went over, they called a doctor to take their pulses.

He knew then that everything was over.

Wei Mingzhao wasn't feeling unwell at all; she was pregnant!

It is extremely shameful for a young, unmarried woman to become pregnant, even if the father of the child is her fiancé.

If this gets out, the Wei family will be scorned. With so many unmarried girls in the family, who would dare to come and marry them? What about the Wei family's reputation? What about their dignity?

Wei Rongxuan wanted to go all the way and have the baby aborted while the baby was still small, but Wang Shi was soft-hearted and disagreed.

"Are you crazy? This abortion pill will harm your body. What if Zhao'er has difficulty conceiving in the future because of this? In any case, this is the Crown Prince's first child. If it is a son, he will be the next Crown Prince."

"That's my grandson too. Do you think I want her to abort it? If she doesn't abort and keeps the baby, the wedding date will be delayed, and the birth time won't match up. His Majesty will suspect that the child is not legitimate. What will we do then?"

Wang's expression changed repeatedly. After much thought, she realized that the allure of the eldest grandson of the emperor was simply too great: "No matter what, this child must be born."

Wei Rongxuan was unaware that the Emperor had already instructed the Imperial Observatory to calculate an auspicious time for the wedding, which was scheduled for the month after next. Forced by his wife and daughters, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and humbly beg the Crown Prince.

Pei Yuyan was very easy to talk to, saying he could ask the emperor on the condition that Wei Nanxun marry into the family.

It's absurd that sisters would share a husband, but it's not unheard of; the story of the Empress and the Virtuous Consort is a beautiful tale.

However, Wei Rongxuan, as the uncle, still hesitated. It was somewhat dishonest to marry his daughter off to someone else as a concubine without his brother's consent.

“Master, she is marrying the Crown Prince. With her looks and status, there are countless people begging to become his concubines. If she weren’t A-Zhao’s sister, how could she have gotten the chance? Second brother can’t possibly blame you.”

Wei Rongxuan eventually nodded, tacitly approving of the matter.

"By the way, we can't tell Zhao'er about this yet. She's already having a hard time during her pregnancy, and she keeps vomiting whatever she eats. If she finds out that Wei Nanxun is going to marry into the family, she will definitely disagree."

The couple shared the same opinion on this matter, so Wei Mingzhao was still happily preparing for her wedding, unaware of this sordid deal.

Her confinement had long been lifted, but to avoid anyone discovering that she was pregnant, she was still confined to her room and unable to go anywhere.

"Young lady, you haven't eaten anything for half a day, please have something."

Wei Mingzhao valued this child the most, and of course, she was also worried about her own health. When she first found out she was pregnant, she would put everything in her mouth regardless of whether it suited her taste, which caused her to vomit for several days.

The doctor instructed her not to force herself to swallow; she had to do it willingly. The more anxious she was, the less she could eat.

Hearing this, he glanced at the dishes on the table, then turned around and gagged again: "Take them all away."

She rinsed her mouth and changed her mouth for a while before saying, "Zhaoyue, did His Highness really not ask about me yesterday?"

Yesterday, the Crown Prince came to place the betrothal, and the whole family was very happy. Many prominent figures in the capital came, as did her close friends. It should have been her most glorious day, but she couldn't attend, which was a great pity.

Most importantly, she longed to tell the Crown Prince the good news herself that she was pregnant with his child.

Even if the two of them made love while they were not in their right mind, the arrival of this child means that they are a match made in heaven.

She believed that once she gave birth to her eldest son, the Crown Prince would change his opinion of her.

Zhao Yue's eyes flickered, and she advised, "Miss, there were so many guests yesterday, even if His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to ask you, he would be too embarrassed to ask you in person. Besides, the wedding date is approaching, and engaged couples are not allowed to see each other."

Wei Mingzhao understood the reasoning, and she knew that Pei Yuyan would not show concern for her in public, but she still felt a little disappointed.

"I know……"

She just wanted to see him.

"Alright, you can all leave. Let me read a book and have some peace and quiet."

Zhao Yue could tell that she was in a bad mood, but she couldn't comfort her. She could only quietly leave with her people, closing the outer door behind her as she went.

Wei Mingzhao was feeling frustrated and couldn't concentrate on anything. After flipping through a few pages of a book, he lost interest and wanted to go back to his bed to lie down, but then he heard a noise coming from the window against the wall.

She opened the window and saw someone she never expected.

"You, what are you doing here? What are you doing here?"

Wei Nanxun skillfully climbed over the wall. The two sisters had not seen each other since their last trip out of the palace, and seeing each other again now felt like a lifetime had passed.

"Sister, enough with the small talk. I've come today because I need your help with something."

"What is there to say between us? I can't help you with anything. You'd better leave now, or I'll call for help."

"Are you sure you don't want to listen first, sister? This is also to help you."

Wei Mingzhao was already emotionally unstable because of the pregnancy, and she became even more annoyed when she saw someone she disliked. She stared at her with resentment and said, "What trick are you trying to pull now? My wedding date with His Highness is set, and I will not allow you to ruin it in the slightest."

But when she met Wei Nanxun's eyes, she saw the calmness and composure in them, which made her feel powerless, as if she had punched cotton.

The calmer she was, the more ridiculous her hysteria seemed.

"Speak, and then leave quickly."

"I want to ask my elder sister for help to leave the Wei family and leave the capital."

Wei Mingzhao almost thought he had misheard, and couldn't help but frown: "You can come and go freely in my courtyard, do you think someone will stop you if you want to leave?"

"There really was someone stopping us."

Wei Mingzhao naturally didn't believe this, and she sneered: "If this is all you have to say, then you can leave."

As she spoke, she protected her stomach, turned away impatiently, and looked wary and afraid of Wei Nanxun, clearly convinced that she was after the child.

She was about to call Zhao Yue and the others in, but before she could speak, she heard the person behind her say self-deprecatingly, "I'm being confined to the West Garden. The entire courtyard is surrounded by guards. Your father is going to send me to Pei Yuyan's bed on the day you get married."

"If you don't mind, then pretend I was never here."

Without waiting for her response, Wei Nanxun turned around and headed to return through the window.

"Wait a moment."
