If there was a secret recipe, Empress Xiao naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
However, the Emperor did not even have to think about how lovey-dovey Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin were. The backyard was so clean that they did not even have a single concubine. Every day, other than those men with stubbles in the court, there was only the beautiful Xiao Baoxin that could topple a country.
Who was like the emperor who had a new style? The four imperial concubines of the aristocratic families entered the palace and began to stir up the national talent show.
At present, the various prefectures had sent over a hundred people. The Emperor was not greedy at all and had accepted all of them. How could he compare to Xie Xian?
Forget about the secret recipe, even immortal pills and spirit medicines were not useful. It would be strange if she could give birth to a child by herself. What was he thinking?
At this time, the harem spread the good news that Shu Consort He Qiniang was pregnant.
The harem was jubilant, at least on the surface.
The Grand Empress Dowager was naturally happy. There was hope for a greatgreat-grandson, and the rewards were like flowing water moving into Shu Fei Palace. Her political sense was not that sensitive. It could even be said that she did not have it. She had been a silly and sweet person all her life. She relied on her son to become the Empress Dowager. After her son died, she relied on her grandson. The smartest brain of hers knew that she would have to rely on Emperor Yong Ping in the future. She did not rush to cause trouble for him.
Noble Consort Liu gave birth to Shichilang before her death. Her mother died not long after she was one year old, followed by her father. Fortunately, in the cruel struggle for the throne, her biological brother, King Xin ‘an, ascended the throne. As soon as he ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Eldest Princess to his aunt’s sister, and his biological brother was conferred the title of King Yuzhang when he was only two years old. They were all raised in front of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was just short of being an eyeball, wholeheartedly taking care of the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng and the Prince of Yuzhang.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was already thirteen or fourteen years old in front of the Empress Dowager, so there was a limit to how close she was to the Empress Dowager. On the contrary, the Prince of Yuzhang had been raised by the Empress Dowager since he was young. He was fair and tender, like a child in front of Guanyin. He did not stick to anyone, but only to the Empress Dowager, taking one step at a time.
The Grand Empress Dowager did not care about the affairs of the inner palace. The Empress was fully responsible for it and did not cause trouble for others.
Empress Xiao also sent gifts to Consort He Shu’s palace, but right after she sent them, she heard people say that Consort He Shu was equally useless and was all locked up in the treasury.
If gold, silver, jade, or jewelry are good, it’s normal to not use them. Even the tonics that she sent over are left to rot. This is not normal.
In Empress Xiao’s eyes, every piece of evidence was evidence. The child in her stomach was the doing of Consort He Shu.
Empress Xiao hated him, but she wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. There was someone more anxious than her.
Imperial Consort Chu had been framed by Consort He Shu, so there was no reason for her to be the only one who felt uncomfortable. A few days after the investigation, Empress Xiao had a ‘frank and open’ conversation with Imperial Consort Pan.
Noble Consort Chu had a clear conscience, so she naturally believed Empress Xiao’s words. After the incident, she had also verified it in many ways, and it was indeed the case.
From then on, he hated Consort He Shu.
She was just a little good-looking, but she relied on the fact that she was the emperor’s cousin to enjoy all kinds of privileges and pretended to be silly. She could not stand it. The most disgusting thing is that you did everything cleanly when you wanted to target the Empress. Why did you drag her into this?
No matter how noble Imperial Concubine Chu’s status in the palace was, she knew her own background. She was merely the daughter of a concubine of the Chu family’s third branch and was under her mother’s name. Even if she entered the palace and was favored, the Chu family did not give her all the resources and support.
If the Emperor really became suspicious, she would die if she didn’t have the friendship of childhood sweethearts.
He was aiming to make Imperial Consort Chu and Empress Xiao suffer a heavy loss.
Imperial Concubine Chu gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she knew that she was alone and that it would not be easy for her to make a move.
Empress Xiao and Imperial Consort Chu looked at each other, waiting to see who would not be able to resist attacking first. Whenever they met, they would stab each other in the heart, talking about the wicked things Consort He Shu had done. It was a competition of endurance and endurance.
However, before the new girl had entered the palace for a full month, Consort Qi De, who had been sitting quietly as the fourth concubine, became pregnant. She was pregnant half a month earlier than Consort He Shu.
Besides feeling gratified, Empress Xiao also thought that it was time to ask Xiao Baoxin about the secret recipe. She didn’t believe that the Emperor would let her have a child under such circumstances. She had to cooperate, right?
###
Empress Xiao had her own plans. Originally, the biggest suspect of her son’s loss was Consort He Shu. If something happened to Consort He Shu’s stomach at this time, then the Emperor’s first suspect would be her.
She wanted to avenge her child, but she did not want to put herself in danger for that b * tch.
She was betting on the hearts of the people. As long as that thorn stabbed into Noble Consort Chu’s heart, she did not believe that it would not take root and sprout one day.
Even if she could successfully give birth, she might not grow up smoothly. One day, she would get her revenge.
This was not a compromise, but a scheme. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Even if Imperial Concubine Chu could afford to wait for ten years, she wanted to see if the others could wait and if the heavens would have retribution.
If she didn’t, then when she attacked again, how could the Emperor suspect her?
Empress Xiao thought long term and felt her heart crack open. Even before the news of Consort He Shu’s pregnancy spread, she didn’t know how to handle herself. Instead, when the news broke out, she had a confidence in her heart.
Therefore, with a comprehensive plan, he summoned Xiao Baoxin into the palace.
If it was someone else who invited Xiao Baoxin, he might have rejected it. Now, it was not because his fetus was unstable and he was resting in bed at home. These days, she had been receiving posts every day asking to personally go to the Xie residence to celebrate for her. Seeing those people say those words, she felt quite burdened.
It felt like everything was happening too quickly.
And she obviously hadn’ t mentally prepared herself to take another blow- – – what if another debt of injustice came to her and fell into her stomach? She couldn’t take it.
But Empress Xiao, she couldn’t refuse.
It was not because of her high status. Empress Xiao had not recovered from the pain of losing her son, and she was pregnant and wanted to congratulate her personally. How could she refuse?
In the end, when they met…
Xiao Baoxin even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Did Xie Xian count?
However, he couldn’t lend it out.
” There’s no secret to having children.” Xiao Baoxin’s face was red with embarrassment. This topic was awkward to talk about. Could it be that it was due to diligence?
Can’t?
If she couldn’t, then she had nothing to say.
Maybe, maybe it’s because I’ve been practicing martial arts for years and my body is strong?”It seemed to be quite hateful.
However, there was really no other way. If he continued, he would be reconciled.
Empress Xiao was just casually asking. Wouldn’t it be better if there really was? “It’s not me, it’s the emperor who insisted that cousin and cousin-in-law must have a secret recipe for having children and asked me to ask you for a child. “Empress Xiao laughed, but it was hard to tell if she was mocking him or just feeling like she was being laughed at.
“I’m just following my wife and quickly welcoming sister-in-law into the palace.”
“Empress must be joking.” Xiao Baoxin sized up the Empress without leaving a trace. Her complexion was much better than before. At least there was some color in her face, and her spirit was much better. She had thought that the Empress would be angry because two high-ranking concubines in the Palace were pregnant. She did not expect that she would worry too much. She was a petty person.
