The Queen was somewhat puzzled: "What does the Emperor mean by this?"
The emperor smiled and explained, "I asked someone to replace me, and the person I chose was not an ordinary person. Naturally, he was someone in the same situation as me. But now Concubine Yi has it, which proves that the medicine is not ordinary. Even Qian Jiujiu has not researched the medicine, but now it has appeared."
The Queen was delighted to hear this. Did this medicine still exist? But the Queen started to feel conflicted again. Did she really want another woman to bear the Emperor's child
The emperor looked at the queen's changing expression and felt a little amused: "What are you thinking about?"
The queen collected her thoughts and sighed, "I'm wondering if the baby in Concubine Yi's belly can be born?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said with amusement: "Looking at how conflicted you are, this child will definitely not be born. Don't worry, she will do it herself."
The queen looked at the emperor with some doubts, and a gleam of light flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Do you really think that the purpose of this noble lady Yi entering the palace is to bear a child for me?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he just smiled and did not continue to talk to the queen: "Okay, it's not enough for you to arrange a market at the palace gate. As for Concubine Yi, don't worry too much."
The Queen nodded: "Alright, if we don't quickly set up the Palace Gate Market, I'm afraid my mother will be anxious."
The news that Concubine Yi was pregnant did not have any impact on Beibei. She was planning to take Cao Suixin out of the palace.
I just returned to Kyoto, and there are still many things to do in the palace! The Queen Mother naturally knew about it, and planned to let Beibei handle these things first, and then let Beibei enter the palace to participate in the palace market.
When the palace market was held, it was personally organized by the Queen, and everyone in the palace would participate. She would also invite some people from the public, and there was a lot of back and forth.
Beibei brought Cao Suixin back to the palace, and Qingyue brought people to greet them: "Princess, you are back."
Cao Suixin looked at Beibei and said, "Senior sister, are you going to class tomorrow? I plan to move back home tomorrow."
She also has a mansion, the Xiangjun Mansion. After her parents came here, they lived directly in the Xiangjun Mansion.
Beibei blinked: "Are you planning to go back so soon?"
Cao Suixin nodded: "Yes, I often go home after school these days. I only stay here at night. And when there is a banquet, I will go to participate."
So that's how it is. That's a bit hard to run: "Actually, I think you're really tired, running around. By the way, how have your studies been in the past three months?"
Of course, she wasn't asking about the studies at the graduate school, but about the studies that Qian Jiujiu had left behind. Cao Suixin still had a lot that she didn't understand, and looked at Beibei: "Senior sister, there are still a lot that I don't know! It's a good opportunity for you to help me answer them."
The two of them went to the study room while Beibei was answering questions. The people outside were worried. Beibei had just left the palace today and had not gone to the graduate school. Would he go to a casino
These people did not dare to guard the gate of the palace, but the streets outside the palace were filled with people from various mansions, all of whom came to find out whether the princess went out or not.
Time passed quickly. Beibei had just instructed on a few questions when Qingyue came over to call for dinner: "Princess, country gentleman, you can have dinner now."
Beibei touched her stomach and felt a little hungry. They stood up and walked towards the dining hall. Even after lunch, Cao Suixin's brows were still furrowed: "Sister, do you think I should move back? If I move back, I still have to come to the palace to study after school."
Many things she wanted to learn were only available in the palace. The information was precious, and she didn't dare to take it out without permission. Now that her senior sister was back, she should put her studies on the agenda.
Beibei looked at Cao Suixin and said, "You can't fall behind in your studies. It's been three months and you've only learned one-third of it. This won't do. You're far behind your second sister."
Cao Suixin was even more shocked: "Second Senior Sister was taught by Master. I can't compare to her. But if I don't learn these well, Master will be disappointed."
She still remembered that she had taken the initiative to run to the master and told him that she would learn well. Beibei looked at Cao Suixin's worry and raised her eyebrows: "Then you should spend more time and learn well."
"If you miss your family, why don't you go back and see them when you have time? They are in Kyoto now, which is not too far away."
That's true, so Cao Suixin understood that it was impossible for him to move back. Beibei continued, "Well, before the Gongmen Market, I don't plan to go out and wander around. You should organize your studies well."
This progress was so slow that Beibei couldn't bear it any longer. So for the next period of time, Cao Suixin had a hard time. He studied every day and even recited the contents of the book in his dreams.
During the day, he still went to the graduate school for classes, and after class, he studied with Beibei obediently. As a result, Beibei had no time to go out, and many people from various forces were dumbfounded.
Everyone was waiting for Beibei to come, but they found that Beibei was exceptionally honest. What was going on
Beibei is honest, but Kyoto is very lively, all because of the upcoming palace market. This palace market will only select some talented people from the public to participate.
The rest were people in the palace, and people of rank who could enter the palace. Of course, the outfits for the day had to be civilian outfits, which would make it more interesting.
When everything was going on, Concubine Yi's side was also very lively. Because Concubine Yi was pregnant, the Empress sent five imperial doctors to take care of her, treating her like a national treasure, so Concubine Yi asked to see her father, and was agreed.
Today, he was taking Duke Wei to see Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi was so happy to see her father coming that she waved her hand and asked the people around her to leave.
"My daughter has met her father."
Duke Wei looked at Concubine Yi's happy expression and raised his eyebrows: "How have you been doing recently?"
Concubine Yi looked at Duke Wei with a smile and said, "Father, recently I feel that in this palace, offspring really means everything. For example, now even the Queen is treating me with great courtesy. She doesn't want me to go and pay respects, and wants me to rest assured and take care of my baby in the palace."
Duke Wei took a look at Concubine Yi's belly and asked, "Do you think you can give birth to this child?"
Concubine Yi was startled and looked at Duke Wei: "Daddy, what do you mean by this? Is there something wrong with this child?"
Duke Wei nodded and said, "Before I entered the palace, I specifically asked the person who made this medicine. The first child cannot be kept. It cannot be formed and will be aborted in about three months."
Concubine Yi's face turned pale instantly. Duke Wei continued, "The Queen has called so many imperial doctors. I believe she must have heard about this matter. Daddy has something he wants you to do."
Duke Wei whispered a few words into Concubine Yi's ear. Concubine Yi's face showed a trace of struggle, but she nodded immediately: "I understand. I'll listen to Daddy."
Duke Wei went into the palace, chatted with Concubine Yi for a while, and then left. The entire harem has not been quiet these days, except for the palace market, and Concubine Yi's pregnancy.
The news of Concubine Yi's pregnancy continued to ferment, and some people in the palace began to get restless. Concubine Chen went directly to the Empress and asked her to stop: "Queen, listen to me. If you are unhappy, I will kick the baby out of Concubine Yi's belly right now."
The queen was startled and looked at the concubine with horror: "You, are you crazy? I'm telling you, don't mess around."
The Concubine Chen looked at the Queen and said, "Aren't you unhappy? I see that you have been busy with the Palace Gate Market recently. Are you unhappy and trying to divert your attention?"
The Queen looked at Concubine Chen helplessly: "How can you tell that I am unhappy? I promised my mother this palace market several months ago. Now that the princess is back, I have to hurry up. I am really not unhappy. I warn you, don't mess around."
Concubine Chen just stared at the Queen, and the Queen also stared at her. Concubine Chen finally believed it: "Okay then. But have you not cared about the people in the harem recently? Concubine Yi is pregnant, and several concubines have gone to ask if there is a secret recipe for having a child."
"I have noted down all the concubines who went there, and will leave them to you to deal with later. One by one, you are so careless."
The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, you can remember all the people. We will settle the accounts later. Did the two concubines go?"
Speaking of which, Concubine Han and Concubine Liu also discussed it, but in the end, neither of them was tempted. It's not that they were not tempted to have a child, but they didn't want to have a child. Moreover, everything is still unclear, so the two of them can't sit still.
The concubine smiled and said, "Didn't you support these two people? It seems that they can still sit still and not go. But as for the others, do you need to give them a warning?"
The queen shook her head: "No, it's a good opportunity to see how many people want to show up, just keep an eye on them secretly."
Concubine Chen nodded: "I understand, I'll get busy. Your Majesty, don't work too hard."
The queen said "yes" and watched Concubine Chen go out. Si Yue beside her looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has changed a lot. She is really loyal to you."
After saying this, the Queen glanced at Si Yue and said, "Okay, the news in the palace must be in your own hands. Don't listen to what others say, understand?"
Si Yue nodded: "Yes."
Actually, it was the Queen Mother who taught her this! As the Queen, she had to know everything about the harem. She could watch them fight, or even instigate them, but she could never be completely ignorant.
