When Jiang Xinyue was five months old, her belly had already swelled.
After the rumors about the evil concubine reached Hexi Palace, Jiang Xinyue did not allow the maids and eunuchs in the palace to go out.
Every day, only Xiaoxuanzi and Jiangchuan took turns going to the imperial dining room, or the senior manager of the imperial dining room personally delivered the meals to Hexi Palace.
Apart from this, no maids or eunuchs from Hexi Palace have ever left the palace.
Everyone outside is guessing, did Zhenbi get pregnant when she heard that she was rumored to be a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country?
Empress Zhu wanted to take Concubine Liang to find out, but she found that the entrance to Hexi Palace had been guarded by the emperor's guards at some point. No one was allowed in or out except those from Hexi Palace.
With such a turmoil, it seems that something has really happened to Concubine Zhen.
The good concubine smiled proudly, and the miscellaneous little palace maid she had bribed a long time ago was indeed put to use.
Concubine Zhen dared to instigate the relationship between her and Concubine De. Fortunately, she had thought that Concubine Zhen was innocent, kind and good, but she didn't expect that there was a traitor hidden inside, and she was ruined.
If Concubine De had not come to explain to her in person that she had no intention of quarreling with her, but that she only quarreled with her because she was so provoked by Concubine Zhen, and that the Emperor's heart was now devoted to Concubine Zhen, and they should not be guilty of each other. Fighting, but to guard against the concubine Zhen and the fisherman's profit, the good concubine still doesn't pay attention to the virtuous concubine!
She was angry that Concubine Zhen had easily created a gap between herself and Concubine De. Although they had reconciled, she could never take back some of the hurtful and mean words she said at that time.
Concubine Liang felt strangely uncomfortable when facing Concubine De.
It's all Zhen's fault!
That's why she used her own spy to spread the rumors about the evil concubine causing harm to the country to the ears of Concubine Zhen.
Unexpectedly, the effect was so good. The emperor ordered the palace to be closed. Concubine Zhen's situation was probably very urgent.
Jiang Xinyue, who was in an emergency situation, sat on the warm soft couch, holding the white fox fur in one hand and lifting up her small clothes with the other hand. She looked at the gentle bulge on her belly in surprise: "Ye Lang Ye Lang Ye Lang... in Here, the baby is here.”
The five-month-old baby can already make slight fetal movements, which opens the door to a new world for Jiang Xinyue and Emperor Xuanwu.
The emperor, who had unprecedented expectations for this child, immediately ordered the sealing of Hexi Palace and no one was allowed in or out after hearing that a palace maid deliberately spread unpleasant words.
Only those who agree with Jiang Xinyue are excluded.
To the outside world, she created the illusion that she couldn't stand the stimulation and had fetal motility. She stayed in the dormitory every day and never even went out for a walk in the yard.
There were no smiles on the faces of Magpie and Shuangjiang, and the atmosphere in Hexi Palace was more serious and dull than ever before.
When those court ladies who were gossiping saw each other, they were as frightened as quails and no longer dared to take advantage of the situation.
Outside Jiang Xinyue's dormitory, Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang were guarding the place. Except for Magpie, Shuangjiang, Xiaoxuanzi and Jiangchuan, no one else was visible to the naked eye.
Oh no, occasionally Dr. Yan will come.
Yan Xinyi, the daughter of Imperial Physician Yan, has been learning women's childbirth techniques from her father for the past few months, and her skills can now compete with those of Wen Po in the palace.
When Imperial Physician Yan checked Jiang Xinyue's pulse, he would take her into the palace. She and the original Jiang Xinyue were good sisters. Now that the sisters have become the favored concubines of the palace, she is also honored.
She secretly promised Jiang Xinyue that she would use all her lifelong learning to make her as comfortable as possible during childbirth.
"He seems to have kicked me!"
Jiang Xinyue's belly bulged one after another, like hills rising and falling.
The "little hill" moved very slowly. It was probably still very small, so it didn't have much strength. It was soft and waxy. Emperor Xuanwu put his hand on it and felt the slow movement. His cold and hard heart suddenly felt incredibly soft.
His eyes were red, as if he was about to cry, but he still didn't cry. It was like the redness at that moment was all Jiang Xinyue's illusion.
"I never knew that a fetus in my belly could move at such a young age."
When a concubine in the harem becomes pregnant, the green head card will be removed by the minister's room. It will not be until the child is born and the confinement period is completed that the green head card will be put back on the plate for him to turn over.
There are so many concubines in the palace, and sleeping one a day can last three months.
Emperor Xuanwu would not wrong himself and go to the palace of a pregnant concubine to glare at her.
For example, when Concubine Liang and Concubine De were pregnant, the emperor went there twice in ten months.
One time, he learned that they were pregnant and went to have a meal with them. The other time, it was time to give birth to the baby.
He would also see them at palace banquets, but after just a few glances, how could he feel if the children were moving?
Jiang Xinyue is the first one. He has accompanied and taken care of her throughout the whole process from pregnancy to now.
The queen was pregnant twice, but he still valued his legitimate son, so he went to Yikun Palace more often.
But he and the queen were mostly polite, and there was never such a relaxing time in Hexi Palace.
Jiang Xinyue put her small hand on Emperor Xuanwu's big hand, with a smile of anticipation and anxiety on her face: "I heard from Aunt Li that the older the child is, the more energetic he will be. When he is six or seven months old, he will be able to control my concubine." My belly hurts from being kicked, Your Majesty, I am a little scared.”
The emperor took out his hand and held her back: "I have made all preparations for our child, and Dr. Yan also said that my concubine's pregnancy has been smooth, and the baby is just the right size. There is nothing detrimental to my concubine." Factors. If even my beloved concubine can’t give birth safely, then I really don’t know who else can.”
He knew that Concubine Zhen said she was afraid of the baby's fetal movements, but in fact she was still frightened by the scene of Concubine Shu's premature birth, so he comforted her: "Besides, there are also Aunt Li and Aunt Xiang here. If my beloved concubine is really uneasy, can I bring your mother into the palace when she is about to give birth?"
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
The emperor smiled and hugged her: "Fool, thank me for what? You have suffered a lot for me to conceive this child. This is what I should do."
His child Xiaoliu was born with the expectations and joy of his parents. He had seen Zhenbi cry with joy, just because the child was his own, and for no other reason.
Unlike him... who was born with heavy shackles and never enjoyed even a moment of maternal and paternal love.
As soon as his Xiaoliu is born, he will give him the best of everything. He will give everything he has never received to his Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu: Even before I was born, I was already at the peak of my life. Thank you for your invitation. I plan to live a good life in this life.
night--
Sounds of great harmony of life came from the cold palace.
"How do you think about what I asked you to do for me?"
"This is a serious crime of decapitation. What grudges do you have with Concubine Zhen?"
The woman pushed the strong man away and went to put on her own clothes. She avoided what he said next and smiled seductively: "Don't you think what you are doing now is not a crime of decapitation?"
To cuckold the emperor is to punish the nine tribes.
