"Don't worry, Madam. I am fine. The imperial physician comes to check my pulse every other day, and occasionally other imperial physicians come to check on me. The baby is in good condition."
Yao Xiang smiled faintly, looking very gentle and obedient.
Now that she no longer had her trusted imperial physician, in order to prevent herself from being tampered with, she deliberately asked other imperial physicians to come and check on her from time to time.
Although we can't trust everything anyone says, it's always more reliable to have a comparison.
If anyone has a ghost, it can be detected.
And now that I have Haisheng, who is proficient in medicine, by my side, I am safe.
"That's good." The Queen nodded and changed her tone to soothing, "Ming Xiuyuan has a lively personality and always attracts attention. The crying child gets the milk. The Emperor usually pays more attention to her. You have a quiet personality, so you have been neglected. Don't blame the Emperor."
Yao Xiang hurriedly shook her head, pretending to be terrified, "I dare not have any complaints, I just want to take good care of the baby and give birth to a child for the emperor."
When the queen saw her like this, her expression became more relaxed.
After all, she was demoted repeatedly and out of favor, so even when she was pregnant, she was still worried.
But it was all her own fault. She had behaved dishonestly time and again, causing the emperor's kindness in saving her life to be completely wasted.
Thinking of this, the Queen felt more and more that Yao was an easy person to instigate and manipulate.
His face immediately changed into a considerate and gentle expression.
"You are too cautious. Since the emperor has restored your title, I think he doesn't blame you. There is no need to worry about it every day. You can also be pregnant. If Ming Xiuyuan can have it, you should have it too. Don't belittle yourself."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." Yao Xiang lowered his eyes.
The Queen smiled and said, "I can't help you. Only the Emperor can help you. Well, I still have some accounts to check. Since you have nothing to do, I will go back first."
"Then I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."
Yao Xiang immediately held Zizhu's hand and stood up, bowing slightly.
The queen looked at her belly before turning and leaving.
After the imperial carriage left, Yao Xiang ordered people to throw away the teacup that the queen had just used.
In her previous life, she was the empress dowager and finally became the queen, but she still had to perform all the rituals of a concubine to Xie, the deceased empress.
Having been annoyed by them for most of his life, he now doesn't want to have anything to do with the Xie family at all.
"Jieyu, what does the Queen want to do? Why did she come all the way here just to take a look?"
Zizhu refilled the tea and asked in a low voice.
Yao Xiang sneered, "Why else? He just wants to instigate me to compete with Ye for favor."
"What does the Concubine think?" Zizhu curled her lips. "The Emperor is too partial. Ever since the Concubine became pregnant, he has rarely come to visit her, but he has been visiting Yuxiu Pavilion very frequently!"
"If the emperor goes to see her often, will she be able to give birth to a golden baby?" Yao Xiang snorted, "It's still unknown whether Ye's belly is a boy or a girl. Don't let her give birth to a girl and disappoint the emperor."
Nianwen, who was adding charcoal into the stove, immediately responded.
"That's right, but people say that sour boys and spicy girls are the best. Our Concubine loves sour food, and her belly is pointed, so she will definitely give birth to a prince."
This statement obviously pleased Yao Xiang.
I saw her reaching out and touching her belly, her eyes shining with light and she looked extremely proud.
Others may not know, but Yao Xiang herself knows it well. In her previous life, she gave birth to the emperor's fourth prince.
This time, the time and order are right, so it is certain that a boy will be born.
What she was carrying in her belly was the future emperor of Nanqi, who was also her biggest bargaining chip in this life.
Therefore, Yao Xiang would not allow any mistakes in this pregnancy.
So no matter how the queen instigated her, she would not do anything.
Now she just wants to take good care of the baby and give birth to her son safely.
Of course, it's not good to appear too calm, otherwise the Queen's trip would be in vain.
So two days later, Wei Ruixuan came to say that he was not feeling well and asked the emperor to come and see him.
Of course there is nothing wrong, just some cramps in my legs and feet.
The imperial physician and Ning Chen explained that this was a normal phenomenon and would happen when a woman was pregnant for a long time.
Yao Xiang's belly is almost six months old, which is normal.
"This is my first time getting pregnant. I didn't know it was common, so I was a little scared. I'm really terrified to trouble Your Majesty to make a trip here." Yao Xiang said embarrassedly.
Ning Chen waved his hand, "It's okay, it's better for you to be cautious. I haven't come to see you for a long time, so I will accompany you to have lunch before leaving."
"Yes." Yao Xiang nodded with a smile on his face.
Fengqi Palace.
When the queen heard this, there was a look of confidence in her eyes.
As expected, the Yao family still made some moves. This was a good thing, as she really didn't want to see the Ye family dominate the market.
They are all pregnant concubines and have similar family backgrounds, except that they are less favored. However, their bellies can make up for it a little.
If we don't promote the competition between Yao and Ye now, it will be boring when Ye gives birth.
"Give my statue of Guanyin to Concubine Fang. The emperor prefers Ming Xiuyuan. As the queen, I have to balance the emperor and not let Concubine Fang down."
Nanny Ding responded and sent someone away immediately.
This also sends a signal to the harem that the emperor favors Ming Xiuyuan, but the queen supports Concubine Fang to prevent anyone from suppressing the Yao family again.
Otherwise, the queen would have no one to pull out to suppress Ye Yun.
As for why Yi Shunrong was left out, it was probably because she gave birth to the third prince, and her favor was always slightly inferior to Ye Jun, and it was obvious that it was impossible to maintain the balance in the long run.
The younger concubines below have not yet established themselves and are not worth mentioning at all. Now only Yao has the capital to restrain Ye Jun.
Ye Jun guessed the Queen's thoughts when she only sent gifts to Wei Ruixuan.
But Ye Jun didn't care at all.
She and Yao had already torn their relationship apart a long time ago, so they were going to fight no matter what, no matter if it was early or late, or when it started.
What's more, Yao is smart and will not take action now.
After all, if two pregnant women fight, not only will it be unsightly, but if one fails, the baby might be harmed.
So I guess it's just jealousy and pretending.
Time flies and the first month of the year is over soon.
On the first day of February, Ye Jun officially set the date for moving.
After asking the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to observe the astronomical phenomena, they scheduled it for the tenth day of the second lunar month.
However, starting from February, things started to be shipped there one after another.
Anyway, people will eventually pass away.
She had so many things that the small warehouse was full. If she didn't move some of them first, she would definitely not be able to move everything in one day.
It was also during this thorough inventory that Ye Jun discovered that Ning Chen had given her many rewards in the past few years since she entered the palace.
Are there any pieces of fabric I was awarded last year that I can still use
It's not good to keep these things for too long, so I just picked out some good ones and gave them to Wang Shunyi and Zhou Wanrong, and Zheng Cairen also got some.
