Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: Seventy-second bowl of soup (four)
Seventy-second bowl of soup (four)
"What?" The emperor couldn't believe what he heard for a moment. "You..."
In his heart, all sorts of thoughts suddenly became mixed. This year, he is twenty-two years old, but he has no children under his knees. When the previous emperor was his age, there were already many children. Now the person who is pregnant with his child is the person he hates the most. The combination of the anticipation for the child and the disgust for the Queen Wei together makes the emperor show a strange expression on his face.
In his heart, the only one qualified to give birth to a child for him is Cheng Zuizui.
Empress Wei's fingertips rested on the medicine bowl, and the celadon flowers made her skin pale. The emperor unconsciously thought that in the past six months, no matter how he treated her in sexual affairs, she would never The one who made a sound would only clench his hand into a fist when he couldn't stand it any longer and grabbed the quilt tightly.
She was in pain too, but she never said it.
Now that she's a mother, her face doesn't seem as cold as before, and her eyes soften a bit, but when she looks up at him, she's still indifferent. "Your Majesty should know that it is useless to let your concubine drink Bizi soup."
Empress Wei didn't drink the so-called "tonifying soup" that he ordered privately to send. Maybe the emperor thought she was full of love for him, and even if he knew that he was bringing poison, he would drink the medicine. If it was the former Queen Wei, he would definitely.
The emperor's black eyes were cold and he stared at Empress Wei's belly for a long time. He couldn't tell how complicated the emotions in his eyes were. He just looked at it and said, "Since I'm pregnant, I'll stop in the future."
Empress Wei chuckled, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, have you been restless before?" If it was her former self, her heart would be broken. Taking charge of the harem for him, so that he would have no worries, but he felt that her methods were too fierce and it was difficult to get close to her. But if she wasn't fierce, he would say she didn't have the ability to be the mother of a country.
The emperor doesn't like you, no matter how nice you are, he won't like you.
The emperor didn't say a word, he just took off his clothes and went to bed by himself. He was so tall that Empress Wei needed to go over him and get into the bed. But the emperor fell asleep again. No matter how light Queen Wei's movements were, he was awakened. The conditioned reflex grabbed her ankle. Queen Wei exclaimed, and had to put both hands on his chest. Suddenly a little embarrassed.
It was Empress Wei who returned to her senses first. She said calmly, "Your Majesty, please let go of your concubine."
Only then did the emperor realize what he was catching, but the little feet in the palms of his hands were white, tender and smooth, not as big as his palms. Usually, they could not be seen when they were wrapped in shoes and socks.
The emperor...he has a little-known hobby - he likes beautiful lotus feet. Cheng Zuizui was able to stand out among the concubines because of her ability to dance on the lotus. Others only thought that this dance was beautiful enough, but they didn't know that His Majesty liked Cheng Meiren's three-inch golden lotus.
Queen Wei was the perfect lady, except for one thing—she didn't have her feet bound. There is no other reason. She is the jewel of the Wei family. Foot binding is too painful. How can the Wei family be willing to do so. Even before she entered the palace, the Wei family also refused.
So this pair of celestial feet is different from other women. The emperor rubbed the soles of Empress Wei's feet twice, she was ticklish, wanted to laugh but refused, and her expression became a little distorted. When the emperor saw her like this, he was immediately angry and funny. Empress Wei was always cold and frosty. It was the first time he had seen such a childish expression.
Empress Wei quickly pulled her feet back, her face was expressionless again, and she lay down and fell asleep.
The news of the queen's pregnancy immediately spread throughout the harem, and everyone was jealous, but the one who suffered the most was Cheng Zui's drunkenness.
After greeting her in the Fengyi Palace in the morning, she stood there and did not leave, her eyes stubbornly staring at Queen Wei, as if there were tears and resentment. But Queen Wei didn't care. She played with a Nanzhu in the palm of her hand, and Huazhi stood beside her and said, "The beauty has not left, so what are you doing here? Don't disturb the empress, or you won't be able to bear the sin!"
Cheng Zuizui didn't seem to hear Huazhi's words, and still stared at Queen Wei, his eyes slowly lowered, and fell on Queen Wei's stomach, as if he wanted to see something through her stomach. After a long while, he questioned Empress Wei: "...Does the Empress really care about her identity?"
Her words were endless, but Empress Wei understood. It's nothing more than saying that she took the initiative to post the emperor's shamelessness, "Cheng Meiren, this palace must remind you a few words, no matter what oath your majesty has made to you, you must recognize one thing clearly."
Here she paused for a moment, showing a mocking look: "Bengong is the one who got on the jade plate, his righteous wife. And you, you are just a low-grade concubine. Even if Ben Gong will stick you to death, no one can say that Ben Gong is wrong."
"You! How dare you!" Cheng Zuizui snapped, but she was obviously stern on the outside and had no confidence at all.
"What's the point of this palace?" No matter how angry and resentful Cheng Zuizui was, Empress Wei responded indifferently, "You, a little beauty, collided with the queen who had a dragon seed, you said, Ben Can the palace kill you?"
Her voice was flat and almost cruel. Cheng Zuizui felt frightened for the first time. She was loved and pitied by the emperor. She had never been threatened like this before, and she had never faced such a danger. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows..."
"So what?" Queen Wei tapped the table top with the armor, but Cheng Zuizui clearly felt that the armor was hitting her heart, making her scared and panicking. "Your Majesty still needs the help of this palace. Without this palace, he can't even sit on the dragon chair. What can he do for you? How he will deal with this palace in the future is another matter, but you are going to die after all."
Cheng Zuizui was so frightened that she could hardly breathe, especially when she saw several eunuchs striding forward gloomily, she still remembered the scene where the abrupt queen's concubine was dragged away by covering her mouth. She don't become like that!
Looking at the back of Cheng Zui's drunken escape, Hua Zhi sneered: "It's a shame, I don't even know the etiquette."
Queen Wei took a sip of the sweet soup and said lightly, "This is your Majesty's vision."
"But Niangniang... Your Majesty is now very fond of Cheng Meiren, if Cheng Meiren is also pregnant..."
The corner of Queen Wei's mouth raised an invisible arc: "She will never be pregnant." And she can tolerate any woman in the harem to give birth to a dragon seed, except Cheng Zuizui.
Because other people can't pose a threat to her, only Cheng Zuizui's child will definitely be favored by His Majesty. In that case, it will inevitably block her child's way, how can this be done.
If you get the love of the emperor, don't think about having children for the emperor. And when she gave birth to a child for the emperor, she no longer asked for the emperor's love.
It's too greedy to want to have both.
"Niangniang means..." Huazhi seemed to understand, but she didn't dare to believe it.
Queen Wei didn't say anything, just raised her eyebrows. She had already seen the emperor's intentions, he loved Cheng Zuizui very much, and he would never let her conceive easily until the great cause was accomplished. This is not to not love her, but to protect her. He made everyone in the harem keep their eyes on the queen, which was the way to protect Cheng Zuizui. Because his country is not stable at the moment, so he can't give Cheng Zuizui an upright identity.
It was during this time that Queen Wei changed Cheng Zuizui's Bizi Tang into a medicine. Adding this medicine will also have the effect of contraception, but it will last until Cheng is drunk to death.
And even if it is found out in the future, the soup was sent by the emperor's order, and it has nothing to do with her. The emperor was very suspicious, and even if the suspicion came to her, he would not think that there was a problem with his order.
His conceit and self-respect are really terrible. This is different from Empress Wei. Empress Wei can endure and suffer humiliation, but the pride of the emperor does not allow him to do so. This is something he can never change.
As time passed, the Wei family was very happy to learn that Empress Wei was pregnant, and they kept sending the rare treasures, for fear that the emperor would wrong their daughter. Empress Wei's belly gradually grew larger, and now that the emperor came to Fengyi Palace again, she no longer slept in the same bed with him. Pregnancy caused her body to become very troublesome. She often urinates at night and cramps frequently. She did not want to wake the emperor.
Between them, there is no fate. The relationship in this life is so respectful, she doesn't want to make herself sad and regretful.
I was pregnant in October, gave birth one day, and on the fifteenth night, the emperor had just arrived at the Fengyi Palace, and before he had time to change his clothes, Empress Wei grabbed his sleeves. He looked down at her, but saw her face pale, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty..." Queen Wei gritted her teeth, "I am afraid that the concubine is about to give birth..."
The emperor froze for a moment. It was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he was very overwhelmed. Queen Wei knew that she couldn't count on him, and to be honest, she was very grateful that he didn't harm her. But giving birth was extremely difficult and dangerous, and she couldn't put her life in the hands of others, so she guessed that she would ask someone to invite her father into the palace, and she would feel at ease with her father guarding her. I just didn't expect that this child would be born as soon as Huazhi was sent out. He is really impatient, and he can't wait for a while!
The emperor's response was to call out the imperial physician, then lift Empress Wei up to bed, and then look at her at a loss. Fortunately, imperial physicians are always on call, but Empress Wei refuses to give birth until the commander-in-chief Wei arrives. She cherishes her own life and her children, so she must not die!
It will be a long time before the real childbirth. She thought that the night of the marriage with His Majesty was the most painful, but now she realizes how difficult it is to give birth to a child. The mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to herself, but she must not die! If she dies, what will happen to her children? His Majesty would never bless him, never.
