He took a deep breath and said, "It won't take three days, I'll give you an answer now."
"..."
"I agree."
"..."
"Three days later, the students of Zhujian Academy will offer sacrifices and praises to the emperor in the main hall of the Great Mercy Temple!"
"...!"
Li Bushang slightly opened his eyes wide.
Ever since he learned the news that the imperial concubine was pregnant, he was at a loss. Although he had known for a long time that, as the emperor's woman, it was natural for her to be favored or neglected, pregnant or give birth, but this matter did not affect him. The blow is still not small.
He came to this academy almost in a state of emptiness.
Originally, he just planned to leave immediately after passing on the word. The people here—or rather, all the people except her were not worthy of his attention.
However, he did not expect that Jian Ruocheng would answer directly.
And, it was such a decision.
He frowned slightly: "Have you decided?"
"Um."
In contrast, Jian Ruocheng, who made this astonishing decision, was so calm that it was unreal.
Li Bushang was silent for a while, and said with a complicated mood: "Is it because of her?"
"..."
Jian Ruocheng's eyes flickered, looked at him, and said, "Are you doing everything for her?"
Li Bushang's expression suddenly sank.
Lips pursed into a line.
Jian Ruocheng looked at his heavy expression, and said calmly: "If that's the case, then I advise you, it's best to give up such thoughts and actions."
"..."
"If it's not yours, it's not yours."
"..."
"No matter what you do, no matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain."
Although his words were calm, to Li Bushang's ears, they were like a knife, cutting him in pain.
There was still no expression on his face, but the shadow in his eyes deepened.
He looked up at Jian Ruocheng, and said coldly: "I will tell the emperor about your decision."
"..."
"But no one can order me what to do."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Looking at his back going away, Jian Ruocheng's eyes looked a little disappointed, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

But at the moment in Yikun Palace, it was extremely lively.
All the concubines in the harem came here one after another to congratulate the noble concubine. The gifts they sent were piled up on the table, and some of them couldn't fit, so Ting Fu and the others had to pile them on the couch first.
Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, deer antler, and many unnamed medicinal materials.
Colorful brocade, gold and jade utensils.
Coupled with the singing and swallowing of the concubines sitting on the other side chatting and laughing, it seemed that the entire Yikun Palace was about to be filled.
Xu Miaoyin also beamed with joy: "It's been a long time since we have such good news in the harem."
Nan Yan smiled and lowered her head.
Wu Wan and the others around looked at each other. Although they still had a smile on their faces, the smile was somewhat stiff.
It's not that there hasn't been such good news for a long time, but there hasn't been such good news at all.
Ever since Zhu Feng came to the throne, this imperial concubine was the only one who conceived and gave birth to a child!
However, in front of the empress and concubine, everyone still smiled and flattered: "Yes, congratulations, concubine and concubine."
"I hope that the imperial concubine will win a man in one fell swoop this time."
"In this way, His Royal Highness King Wei will not be so lonely."
Nan Yan only smiled and listened.
Xu Miaoyin said again: "By the way, people from Tai Hospital come here every day to ask for pulse. What do they say?"
Nan Yan hurriedly said: "The people from the Tai Hospital came here yesterday to take away all the taboo things, and also reminded the concubine not to get tired, and the rest—it's nothing."
"Of course, you are heavy now, so you must be exhausted. So the emperor immediately postponed the grand ceremony."
"The concubine also persuaded the emperor not to do this, but the emperor—"
"That's what it should be. Originally, the grand ceremony this time was very hasty. Everyone just returned to Jinling after a long journey. They are all full of dust and dust. It would be good to have a few more days of rest to recharge your spirits."
"Thank you, empress."
After talking here, Ran Xiaoyu brought two young maids up to serve them tea, and everyone took a sip of the teacups. At this moment, Debi Xinqing drank the tea and said with concern: "That's right. , Speaking of the grand ceremony, we will also bow and bow at that time, and the imperial concubine is pregnant now, I am afraid it will be inconvenient."
Nan Yan looked at her and said with a smile, "It's actually not bad."
Although the imperial physician also said that she cannot be injured or tired, but it is not enough to walk around a few times or kowtow a few times.
Xu Miaoyin said: "I have also discussed this matter with the emperor."
Nan Yan turned her head: "Huh?"
"Although it's just walking around a few times and prostrating a few times, the concubines will have to stand under the Chong'en Pagoda for the entire ceremony. When the time comes, the poisonous sun will be like this, sister, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"I-"
"So, the emperor has already decreed that my sister will not have to go down for this grand ceremony. I have arranged a seat for you, so you can rest in the arbor."
Nan Yan hurriedly got up and said, "How can this be done? The opening of the Da Ci'en Temple is a major event. The emperor, the empress, and all the sisters have to bow down and salute. How can I stay out of it. This, I will never dare!"
"Sister, don't panic."
Xu Miaoyin said, reached out and took her hand, and pulled her back to the chair next to her to sit down.
Then he said softly: "This is also what the emperor meant."
"..."
"My younger sister is in poor health, so she should breathe well. Even if the late emperor knew about it, he wouldn't care about it, and he would protect the child in my younger sister's womb."
"..."
Nan Yan had no choice but to say softly: "Yes, the concubine takes the order."
Having said that, she had a wry smile on her face. She really didn't expect that because of her pregnancy, Zhu Feng not only postponed the time of the grand ceremony, but also pardoned herself from having to kowtow and salute.
It's too exaggerated!
In this way, the queen would not say anything, but looking at the eyes of Wu Wan and Gao Yurong, she knew that she must have hated herself in her heart. I am afraid that some officials in the previous dynasty would also say that she was frivolous.
She could only sigh inwardly.
It's only been two days, and he's done so many things. If his stomach gets bigger later, and he doesn't know what exaggerated things Zhu Feng will do again, he must find a chance to tell him.
This time, everyone naturally had their own thoughts in their hearts.
However, in front of the queen, it was difficult for everyone to say anything, only Wu Wan's face was slightly gloomy.
She glanced around and said suddenly, "Huh? All the sisters from the harem are here today, why didn't Concubine Kang come here?"
Hearing what she said, everyone found out.
Concubine Kang, who was almost everyone's focus just yesterday, did not show up today!
