Chapter 51 Disfigured Palace Lady VS Cold-blooded Emperor 51
Palace power is a symbol of the queen’s status. Naturally, the queen cannot bear it being divided.
But the queen was unwilling and unable to refuse the emperor's will.
I could only reluctantly divide part of the palace affairs between Concubine Mei and Concubine Wan.
It is still the least important palace affairs.
Concubine Mei was responsible for the management of flowers and plants in the harem, and Concubine Wan was responsible for the distribution of cloth in the harem.
Despite this, the two of them were still very happy.
Being able to intervene in palace affairs not only represents the emperor's trust, but also means that one can have spies in the harem.
What a rare opportunity.
Concubine Rou was demoted to a concubine and was deprived of her title. From now on, she will be Concubine Lin.
In particular, he was banned for three months.
Of course Concubine Lin couldn't bear such a blow.
I heard that I cried so hard while hiding in Yongfu Palace that my eyes were swollen.
But this was not over yet. In a blink of an eye, the Queen Mother issued another decree to go to Yongfu Palace.
Concubine Lin was ordered to copy Buddhist scriptures three hundred times, but she still knelt down and copied them.
They even sent a nanny over to keep an eye on it.
Without the emperor's favor, Concubine Lin did not dare to confront the Queen Mother, so she could only kneel down and copy Buddhist scriptures.
That day, let alone how uncomfortable it was.
The queen was not much better.
Although the Queen Mother did not punish her for copying Buddhist scriptures, she called people to Cining Palace.
I heard that the Queen was severely scolded by the Queen Mother and even scolded her harshly.
When the queen left Cining Palace, she heard that her eyes were red.
It can be seen that I have cried.
Yu Yao naturally heard that the more unstable the queen's status, the more beneficial it would be to herself.
Xu Shi's palace power was divided and she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother, and the Queen became more honest.
No more small tricks.
Yu Yao stayed in Yuexian Palace every day eating, drinking, or sleeping, just like raising pigs.
My belly is also like a balloon, getting bigger day by day.
No matter how much she wears loose clothes, her belly looks much bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
Mama Qian soon noticed something was wrong with her belly and suspected that she was having twins.
So I talked to the Queen Mother about this privately.
After the Queen Mother learned about it, her face became serious.
First, they summoned Dr. Zhou to the Cining Palace and began to inquire about the details of Concubine Yao’s pregnancy.
"Mr. Zhou, the Ai family remembers that Concubine Yao's belly is only five and a half months old. Why is her belly so much bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women?"
The Queen Mother is no longer lying on the bed; He was half leaning on the soft couch, looking at Dr. Zhou who was kneeling underneath, and asked coldly.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the sizes of pregnant women's bellies are not the same. There is no problem with the fetus of Concubine Yao, and the dragon fetus is also very stable."
Physician Zhou knelt on the ground and wiped the unevenness on his forehead. The existing Khan said nervously.
Of course he knew what the Queen Mother was asking, it was just suspicion that Concubine Yao was pregnant with twins.
But the emperor had an order, and he did not dare to say it randomly.
"That's not what the Ai family asked. The Ai family is suspicious. Is Concubine Yao pregnant with twins?"
The Queen Mother asked again.
The tone was obviously more impatient.
"This..."
Physician Zhou was speechless after being asked.
Of course Concubine Yao is pregnant with twins, but with the emperor's order, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
I didn't know how to answer for a while.
The Queen Mother knew what was going on when she saw Doctor Zhou's expression.
I became more and more certain that Concubine Yao was pregnant with twins.
The Queen Mother was naturally very happy to learn that she was about to have two grandchildren.
But this is the royal family, especially since the emperor has no heir yet.
It would be okay if they were twins, but if they were two princes...
As for the two princesses, the Queen Mother had never thought about it at all.
The prince is the most important, what is the use of the princess?
So the Queen Mother instinctively thought that there were two princes in Yu Yao's belly.
Thinking about this, his face became more and more serious, and he kept turning the beads in his hand.
Even the atmosphere of Cining Palace has become different.
Physician Zhou knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
After a while.
The Queen Mother waved her hand to Dr. Zhou and let him go down, without embarrassing him.
"Qiuyun, go and ask the emperor to come over!" The Queen Mother said to Qiuyun who was waiting aside.
“Yes, the Queen Mother!”
Qiu Yun responded respectfully and quickly turned around and retreated.
Not long after, Ye Beichen appeared in Cining Palace.
I don’t know what the mother and son said.
In short, the Queen Mother never mentioned this matter since then, as if she didn't know about it.
Autumn is coming in the blink of an eye.
On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor's reward, the queen's reward, and the queen mother's reward all came down.
They all come according to position, which is similar to previous years.
Of course, Yu Yao’s is the most generous.
According to tradition, there is a state banquet at noon, where the emperor and empress entertain princes, ministers and ladies of the court.
In the evening, it was the family banquet in the palace.
The family banquet is held in the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden is open and you can also enjoy flowers, scenery and the moon.
It couldn’t be a better place.
In the afternoon, Qingtan put the prepared clothes on Yu Yao one by one.
Wearing a pink blue dress, Qingyu combed a simple flying mane.
A wisp of swallowtails was left on the back of her head hanging down on her shoulders, which made her look more and more otherworldly.
Of course, you have to ignore her big belly.
After the hair is combed, the prepared head surface is fixed on the hair.
A set of Dongzhu headdress, coupled with crystal tassels, makes the whole person appear light and free from dust, as good-looking as an elf who strayed into the mortal world.
Of course, one has to ignore her baby bump.
Although Yu Yao is pregnant, and she is still carrying twins, her body shape has not changed.
My belly looks round and round, much larger than that of ordinary pregnant women.
"Why do you look at me like this?"
Yu Yao noticed that Qingtan and Qingyu's eyes were a little strange, and she was also puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, people say that they are ugly and beautiful. Your Majesty is still so beautiful even though she is pregnant. Could this be..."
Qingyu wanted to think that her Majesty might be pregnant with a princess, but she couldn't. I was afraid that my empress would be angry, so I didn't dare to say anything.
In this harem, although the princess is noble, she is still not as good as the prince.
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect Qingyu to say this suddenly, but she was not worried.
She is pregnant with twins, a son and a daughter.
"No matter the prince or the princess, they are all the treasures of this palace."
Yu Yao smiled and stroked her belly, her eyes full of tenderness.
"It's getting late, let's go."
She said to the two of them and left Yuexian Palace with her belly in hand.
Qingtan Qingyu and Qing Tan looked at each other without saying anything, and quickly followed them.
The Imperial Garden is not far from Yuexian Palace.
Turn left when you go out, go all the way south, then turn right and you're there.
However, Yu Yao walked for half an hour along the way.
Are you pregnant?
When she arrived at the Royal Garden, she felt that a large number of people were already sitting in front of her.
Mei Fei, Wan Fei, Yu Zhaoyi, Ning Xiuyuan, Chungui concubine, Jin concubine, Shun Ronghua, Yan Xiaoyi...
There are also noble people.
What Li Guiren, Zhou Guiren, Zheng Guiren...
There are seven or eight in total.
There are also beautiful people, talented people, Chang Zai, promised, Baolin, Cai Nu and so on.
There were so many people that she couldn't tell who was who, and she didn't recognize many of them.
Except for the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother, the three giants did not arrive, and Concubine Lin did not come (she was the former concubine Rou)
Everyone else who was supposed to come came.
However, she found that many concubines were not well dressed.
The materials on his body are very old at first glance, and the headdress is also very simple. There are only two pieces, and you can tell at a glance that they are worthless.
The clothes she wore were not as good as the green sandalwood and sapphire beside her.
Yu Yao didn't say anything, but slowly stepped forward holding Qingtan's hand.
"I have seen the Imperial Concubine Yao, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity!"
When everyone saw her, they hurriedly stood up and saluted her.
Yu Yao smiled: "Everyone, please get up quickly, no need to be polite!"
After saying that, he sat down in his seat.
I didn’t put on any airs.
