Today, those who came to congratulate Concubine Yu on her pregnancy include not only the princes and nobles, but also the family members of powerful ministers.
There was a dense crowd of people coming and going, and a family member and his maid walked into the rockery. Fu Yunqing stopped talking, and the three of them passed by and dispersed on their own.
Fu Yunqing walked to the imperial garden and found a corner to sit down. He saw Li Shuhe walking in a rose-red flower dress with a faint smile on his lips. It didn't look like he was happy or unhappy.
"Empress." Concubine Yu caressed her pregnant belly, her voice was tired and slightly provocative, "I am heavy, so I won't salute you. I think you won't blame me, right?"
"It's only been a few months and you're already feeling heavy?" Li Shuhe asked with a smile.
"It will take about more than a month for Royal Doctor Jiang to feel the pulse." Concubine Yu hid the needle in the cotton. "Although the month is small, the dragon heir is rich in gold. If there is a mistake because of the large range of salutes, it will be bad. The queen has never been pregnant. , I assume I don’t understand this.”
"If Long Si makes a mistake, I will be responsible for it. If you don't want to be polite, you will be guilty of the following... Concubine Yu, you are so brave." Li Shuhe's final voice was slightly heavier.
Concubine Yu clenched her back molars and knelt down in front of everyone: "I, my concubine, see you, the empress, may you be blessed and safe."
Li Shuhe smiled and said: "Why do you need to salute in public when you are pregnant? If you are seen by others, it will appear that I am treating you harshly."
She spoke of caring, as if she was not the one who forced Concubine Yu to kneel just now.
Concubine Yu, who was being teased, turned green and white, and she was holding back her anger.
Qi Wenjue, wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, came over and looked at Concubine Yu and Li Shuhe...
Concubine Yu burst into tears immediately, rubbed her sore knees, and cast a pitiful look at Qi Wenjue asking for help: "Your Majesty..."
He hesitated to speak, as if he had been greatly wronged.
If he were an ordinary man, he would have been so fond of him...
Qi Wenjue was not an ordinary man. He glanced at Concubine Yu with a frown and said, "If you feel uncomfortable kneeling, just get up and ask me for what? Did I ask you to kneel?"
"It was the empress who asked me to kneel down... I am actually pregnant with the dragon heir in my belly..." Concubine Yu felt like crying and was about to cry.
"She asked you to kneel down, so you just kneel down. Whenever she asks you to get up, if you get up again, the etiquette of respect and inferiority cannot be exceeded." Qi Wenjue said.
Concubine Yu almost broke her teeth, but she had to endure it.
She knew that even though he was pregnant with a dragon heir, Qi Wenjue was not at all gentle towards women other than Li Shuhe.
But why does Li Shuhe not cherish the love of the Nine-Fifth Lord so much...
A comfortable smile appeared in Li Shuhe's eyes, and he glanced at Concubine Yu: "Look what you said, you are pregnant with a dragon heir, how can I keep you on your knees for a long time? Get up quickly, otherwise Your Majesty will think that I am bullying you. Woolen cloth."
Concubine Yu was helped to her feet by the maid. Her heart was full of resentment, but her face was filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your consideration."
Li Shuhe smiled slightly, turned and left, and Qi Wenjue subconsciously chased after him.
"Ah He?" Qi Wenjue lowered his voice and shouted after her.
"What?" Li Shuhe stopped suddenly, Qi Wenjue almost hit her back, and hurriedly stopped and held her hand.
Li Shuhe tried to take his hand out of his palm, but was firmly held by Qi Wenjue.
Somehow, Li Shuhe's expression turned resentful and his eyes suddenly turned red.
After all, it doesn’t look good when the emperor and empress pull back in public.
Qi Wenjue said coldly: "I'm tired, I and the Queen will leave first, and you will continue to attend the banquet."
Feng'an, the chief internal officer, exclaimed and flicked the duster: "Okay."
Concubine Yu watched helplessly as Qi Wenjue chased Li Shuhe away. It was clear that she was the one who was pregnant with the child today! But Qi Wenjue loves Li Shuhe so much!
Li Shuhe has no children, yet she is favored like this. If she had a child, would it not turn the world upside down? Fortunately, she had no heirs.
There was a sneer in Concubine Yu's eyes...
Qi Wenjue dragged Li Shuhe into the nearby palace.
There was no one around in the main hall, so Li Shuhe shook off Qi Wenjue's hand.
Qi Wenjue took a deep breath and pinched his eyebrows: "Shu He..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to call me!"
"You -" Qi Wenjue was furious, "I gave you the position of queen that all women in the world long for, what else do you want!"
"I will give you glory and wealth, give you supreme rights, allow you to be willful, and tolerate your temper. Do you know what this means to the Nine-Five Lord!"
"I don't want the position of queen! I don't want rights! I don't want glory and wealth!" Li Shuhe's eyes turned red instantly, and he almost cried, "I want freedom and my husband's only love. If you can't give it to me, you will What’s the point of me taking things by force and entering the deep palace?”
"Over the years, the relationship between us has been worn away, and there is not much left..." She roared, becoming more and more aggrieved, and began to sob with sobs on her shoulders.
Qi Wenjue grabbed her hands and raised them above her head, pressing her hard against the wall: "You want freedom? Do you want the only husband? Are you still thinking about Yun Shu in your heart? He works in the cabinet, if you dare to think about him , I will kill him!"
"I didn't!" Li Shuhe shook his head vigorously, and his hairpin fell to the ground. He stared at him with tears in his eyes, "You stupid king! What did Yun Shu do wrong? You said you wanted to kill him, so kill him..."
"If I were a foolish king, I would have killed your childhood sweetheart Yun Shu, instead of valuing his talents and promoting him to a bachelor regardless of past grudges. Yes, I am a foolish king! Today I will show you what a real foolish king is. Like?" Qi Wenjue tore her clothes to pieces, lifted up her skirt, and entered with a vengeance.
Li Shuhe resisted at first, but the resistance was useless, so he followed him to vent his feelings, like a tool, still playing with him for fun.
Half an hour later...
Li Shuhe collapsed on the dragon bed, his hair scattered on the jade pillow, and his whole body was covered with kisses from pleasure.
Those hickeys were extremely dazzling, showing the man's overbearing possessiveness.
She felt that she was ridiculous, marrying the emperor, but longing for the only love...
She hates him!
Qi Wenjue held the queen in his arms, carefully kissed the tears in the corners of her eyes, and pressed her under him: "Are you unhappy that Concubine Yu is pregnant with my heir?"
Li Shuhe turned his head away and said nothing.
"Then I... kill this heir?" Qi Wenjue asked tentatively, "I didn't want other women to get pregnant, but you haven't been pregnant for a long time, and the ministers in the court are urging you hard, so the royal family has to spread its branches... "
"Why are you so crazy... The child is innocent." Li Shuhe closed his eyes to hide the fatigue and disappointment in his eyes.
"I know you are kind... Even if they have children, no one can shake your position."
Qi Wenjue rarely indulged in pleasure, and his sex with other concubines never lasted more than two quarters of an hour. Only with Li Shuhe, he would indulge again and again...
…
In the imperial garden, the banquet was in the middle of the evening.
Concubine Yu proposed to play drumming and pass a jade pendant into the banquet. When the drumming stopped, whoever the jade pendant was passed to would go up to the stage to perform their talents.
Fu Yunqing watched them play drums and pass on the jade. First, He Chunru and Yun Nianqiu recited poems and played the piano, then the eldest prince Qi Jun danced a sword dance in the distance, and finally passed it on to Fu Yunqing...
She was about to throw the jade pendant away quickly, but she didn't want the drums to stop!
Above the pavilion, Concubine Yu's red lips slanted: "Help girl, please——"
Fu Yunqing looked at her. Although he couldn't see the other person's emotions, he was a little uneasy. He hesitated and saw Concubine Yu standing up and walking towards her with a smile: "I wonder what talents Miss Fu is preparing for today?"
"My daughter is not talented, so I will offer you a piece of music." Fu Yunqing had just finished speaking.
Concubine Yu came and stood with her behind the mountain and river screen, holding Fuyunqing's hand.
There were people in the audience drinking wine and spectators murmuring, and since the pavilion where the talent show was performed was slightly higher, Concubine Yu spoke in a low voice, so only Fu Yunqing could hear her clearly.
"Fu Yunqing..."
"Your death day has arrived..."
Fu Yunqing suddenly frowned and felt a mysterious bell ringing in her ears...
"Ding ding ding..."
Fu Yunqing was in a daze...
Concubine Yu suddenly grabbed her hands and pushed her towards her, saying loudly: "Yun Qing, it was Yu'er's fault for betraying you! What's his fault? I apologize to you! Ah——"
Concubine Yu rolled down the pavilion one foot high!
From everyone's perspective, Fu Yunqing and Concubine Yu seemed to be arguing, and for some reason, Concubine Yu was suddenly pushed down!
Concubine Yu tightly protected her lower abdomen and rolled to the ground. Her forehead was injured, and a puddle of red blood dripped from her lower body, staining her skirt...
"Dragon Si!!" Concubine Yu screamed with a trembling voice!
