"I bet 5 taels of silver that Liu Cairen will definitely touch the Porcelain Queen in three months!"
Liu Man took out a piece of silver from her purse, which was embroidered with four crooked and unique little yellow ducks, and slapped it on the table with a "pop" sound.
Concubine Zhao put her head on one hand and smiled arrogantly, "I bet they won't be able to bear it in less than two months."
Snapped--
The 10 taels of silver were placed on the table by Concubine Zhao, which was bigger and brighter than what Liu Man took out!
【It’s great to have money! 】
Liu Man reached out and dug out, and found that she had lost too much in Landlord this month and had no money left!
【It seems really great to have money(╥﹏╥)】
"Queen, you will be the witness to see who guessed correctly!"
Liu Man and Concubine Zhao looked at each other and said in unison.
The queen was speechless. It was such a big deal that her status could be in jeopardy if she was not careful. It was like no one else would be used as a bet by these two naughty guys.
While complaining in her heart, the queen did not stop, and under Liu Man's eager gaze, she reached out and put the fifteen taels of silver into her purse and put it away.
On the other side, Liu Cairen didn't expect that his every move was being watched.
In the quiet afternoon, she dismissed all the palace maids around her, and sat quietly on the imperial concubine's couch with her head bowed, big tears falling from her chin drop by drop.
"My child, it's my fault. I couldn't protect you. If you want to blame me, it's because we have no fate in this life..."
【stop! Come on! 】
Liu Man listened to the system's broadcast, and the more she listened, the more something was wrong.
[Didn’t she take fake pregnancy pills? Could it be that I remembered it wrong and I really made her pregnant? 】
The system said contemptuously: [Will the melon I mentioned be fake? The amazing thing about the fake pregnancy pill is that it can simulate the real feeling of the first four months of pregnancy. Liu Cairen can really feel that there is a baby in his belly. 】
[Ah, this, then she can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Does she really think she has a baby in her belly? 】
The system pretended to be profound and said: [To deceive others, you must first deceive yourself! 】
Liu Man raised her hand to touch her still thick hair.
"Ah! I need to grow a brain!"
Hua Ning happened to push the door open and heard the word "brain".
"My lord, do you want to replenish your brain? I remember that there are fresh walnuts from this spring in the imperial kitchen. How about I make you some amber walnut candy?"
[That must be impossible. How could an outstanding talent like me, who has a thorough understanding of ancient and modern times (experienced both ancient and modern times), is rich in knowledge (can skillfully distinguish eight major cuisines), and is well-spoken (swearing counts), need to supplement his brain! 】
The words of rejection were already on her lips. Thinking of the taste of the amber candy made by Hua Ning, Liu Man swallowed hard.
"No... no, please?"
Hua Ning smiled happily when she heard this, with two sweet dimples on her round little face, "How can making sweets for my little master be considered troublesome?"
Oh, what a cute little sweetheart~~
Liu Man covered her little heart that was hit, and a trace of blush appeared on her face.
System: [You are blushing like a bubble teapot! 】
Sure enough, at the Spring Appreciation Banquet a month later, Liu Cairen retched uncontrollably over a plate of lactose in public, attracting curious or jealous glances.
The emperor didn't know the twists and turns of the concubines below, but he just felt that Liu Cai was a little embarrassed.
Why are you so squeamish that you can't even smell a bunch of lactose?
"Is Liu Cairen... happy?"
I don't know who said something, and the originally silent banquet became lively again. The concubines wore smiles that were not sure whether they were real or fake. With your words and my words, I guessed that Liu Cairen might be pregnant for more than one month.
[These women are really more powerful than imperial doctors! The eyes were like X-rays, and at a glance, one could tell whether they were male or female. 】
Liu Man picked up the fifth piece of lactose today and stuffed it into her mouth. Chewing it, her mouth was filled with the sweetness of milk and the mellow aroma of peanuts.
The emperor was like a young boy, stupidly listening to what the people below were saying. When Liu Cairen had vomited for the third time, he finally realized that Liu Cairen was happy! ! !
"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
The emperor stood up with a rosy complexion, the curve of the corners of his mouth gradually widened, and his pink teeth were about to burst into laughter.
Seeing that Liu Cairen's face was pale and weak due to vomiting, the curvature of the corners of the emperor's mouth dropped slightly.
"What do you stupid slaves do? Why don't you remove all the lactose from here? You won't be allowed to use it again!"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the maids behind each palace quickly removed the dishes of snacks from the table, fearing that if they were a step too late, Liu Cairen would be irritated and retched again, and the emperor would be blamed!
Liu Man watched helplessly as a round-faced little palace maid smiled apologetically at her, and ruthlessly took away the half-full plate of lactose.
Liu Man:! ! !
It's not bad, this fake kid took away my candy!
[Emperor Dog, the milk candy has provoked you, you have to kill it, wuwuwu, it is just an innocent milk candy! Foolish king, tyrant, big pig's hooves! 】
Listening to Liu Man's ruthless accusation against him, the emperor felt a little guilty.
"Come here, give everyone a plate of sour plum cake!" Sour and spicy girl, Liu Cairen will also like it!
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone immediately understood what the emperor meant, and their eyes were like little knives, shooting towards Liu Cairen, who was being held in the emperor's caring arms.
Concubine Zhao was sitting high up and could see everything clearly. She gently touched her belly with her hand hidden behind the table and curled her lips with a smile.
Regardless of whether Liu Cairen's pregnancy is real or fake, it will attract more hatred and attention to her. This is God helping her.
Unless absolutely necessary, she must hide her pregnancy until the last moment!
She has already lost a child and cannot bear the pain of losing another child!
The imperial doctor on duty today from the Imperial Hospital quickly trotted over carrying a medicine box.
"See you, Your Majesty. See you, ladies and gentlemen."
Just as the imperial doctor was about to salute, he was lifted up by the emperor who was impatient with waiting.
"Don't worry about the false etiquette, just take Liu Cairen's pulse and see if she is happy!"
"Yes." The old doctor bowed slowly again, then put his hand on Liu Cairen's wrist and began to diagnose his pulse with half-squinted eyes.
For a long time, the emperor scratched his head, and finally waited until the old doctor opened his eyes, "Back to the emperor, Liu Cairen is already one month pregnant."
The imperial physician recalled the 500 taels of silver sent to him by the Queen Mother last night, and added: "I speculate that Liu Cairen's baby is most likely to be a little prince."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Come and reward the imperial doctor with 100 taels of silver, and all the maids and eunuchs who serve Liu Cairen will be rewarded with half a year's salary!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he carefully bent down and touched Liu Cairen's flat belly, "Your Majesty, I am your father. When you are born, your father will definitely train you to become the wisest and bravest boy in the entire country!"
"Pfft!"
Liu Man and the Queen looked at each other, and they both saw schadenfreude in each other's eyes. Finally they couldn't hold it in any longer and accidentally laughed out loud.
[I'm waiting for the big pig's hoof to slap me in the face]
[Hahahahahahaha, this is worse than being a father! 】
The emperor was disturbed by Liu Man's inner voice, and he was unhappy and thought about what she was saying!
You can’t expect him to order something good!
