A few days later, it was the day for Ye Yun to move into his new home.
After all, it was a happy event, so two tables were set up in Zhao Chunxuan that day.
From the queen to the concubines, all of them came.
Even the empress dowager and several concubines who did not come sent some rewards.
This was naturally because Ye Jun was pregnant and favored, otherwise how could the relocation of a fourth-rank Xiuyuan cause such a grand occasion.
"Seeing that you are pregnant very well, I feel relieved. You and Concubine Fang are the two most important people in the palace now."
The queen held Ye Yun's hand affectionately and patted it gently, looking very kind.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, no matter how important I am, I am not as important as Your Majesty. Your good health is a blessing for the entire Nanqi region. If you give birth to a legitimate son in the future, it will be a blessing for the whole country." Ye Jun said with a smile.
He bowed and calmly withdrew his hand.
The queen pursed her lips slightly, "Then I will borrow your good words."
Concubine Jingde standing by also took over the conversation with a smile.
"There are already three princes in the palace. Ming Xiuyuan and Fang Jieyu are about to give birth to their two children. When the queen gives birth to a legitimate son, with so many brothers to help, my Nanqi will surely become more prosperous."
These words sound like compliments and humility, but they also convey a certain different meaning.
Yes, the queen hasn’t given birth yet, but there are already three princes.
The two at the back are also about to be born. If they are both princes, then there will be five princes in total.
When the queen gives birth to a child, will there be more conflicts, or will there be brothers who are willing to submit to her and help her with all their strength
They are all people who have been immersed in the harem for many years, and they all know the answer.
"It's still unknown whether the baby will be a boy or a girl. Everything is determined by fate. The princes are still young. Your Highness is thinking too far ahead."
Yao Xiang, who was sitting next to him, immediately opened his mouth.
Ye Jun smiled and said, "I would rather have a daughter. Seeing how cute and beautiful the eldest and second princesses are, I really envy Consort Shu and Hui Shunyi."
Regardless of whether this was true or false, it at least made the Queen's expression slightly more relaxed.
At this moment, someone outside shouted, "The Emperor has arrived, Yi Shunrong has arrived."
Naturally, everyone stood up and went out to welcome the emperor.
But everyone was surprised that Yi Shunrong came with the emperor and brought the third prince with her.
After the formalities, Yi Shunrong explained.
"I'm sorry to make you ladies and sisters laugh. The Third Prince got up early and insisted on sticking to me, so I had no choice but to bring him along. I guess he knew that Ming Xiuyuan and Concubine Fang were pregnant, so he wanted to see them."
There is no need to say what happened afterwards. Naturally, I arrived late and happened to meet Ning Chen.
The queen was as magnanimous as ever. She smiled and took the third prince in her arms.
"You raised the child well, so the child is close to you. I haven't seen the Third Prince for a long time. His chubby little face is really cute."
"Mother-mother-"
At this moment, the third prince, who was held by the queen, shouted in a clumsy manner.
"Oh, Your Majesty, look, the third prince is so smart that he can already call people." The queen was surprised, but a smile appeared on her face and she turned to Ning Chen and said.
Ning Chen was in a good mood, so he reached out and took the child.
Yi Shunrong was full of pride, smiling like a flower, "This child seems to be talking earlier. He can call her 'Niangniang', 'Mammy', and 'Auntie' now. They are all simple words."
Ye Jun was sitting on the emperor's right hand side at this time, very close to the third prince.
Looking at this soft and cute little child, I really want to pinch his face.
The Emperor and Yi Shunrong were both good-looking, and the Third Prince was naturally also handsome, with a delicate and graceful figure.
As if he had noticed Ye Jun's gaze, the Third Prince turned around and looked at her with raised eyes.
Ye Jun couldn't help but reach out and scratch his chin.
"It seems that the Third Prince and Ming Xiuyuan get along very well. I wonder if it's because of their blood relationship. Ming Xiuyuan is about to give birth." Yi Shunrong said with a smile.
Li Cairen on the side also spoke with a smile.
"When I was a child, I heard that children can tell whether the baby in a woman's belly is a boy or a girl. I don't know if the Third Prince can tell whether Ming Xiuyuan's belly is a boy or a girl."
"Hey, Li Cairen is really funny. How would a child know these things? They are just rumors and should not be taken seriously." Yi Shunrong waved her hand.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu was very enthusiastic while listening to the opera.
He immediately got involved and said, "Ask our Third Prince if this is true. When Ming Xiuyuan gives birth, won't we know?"
Several people worked together, which aroused Ning Chen's curiosity.
Then he said to his son in his arms, "Is the baby in Madam Ming's belly a boy or a girl?"
But the third prince didn't seem to understand and just stared with wide eyes without opening his mouth.
At this time, Yi Shunrong spoke up and repeated, "Han'er, father is asking you, is the baby in Empress Ming's belly a brother or a sister?"
This time, the third prince finally spoke.
She called out softly, "Sister."
As soon as the words came out, Yi Shunrong smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Oh, I was saying, how can you trust a child's words? He knows nothing and can only repeat what adults say."
Concubine Shu, however, looked gloating, "That's not necessarily true. It's hard to say. Our Third Prince saw it."
Which concubine in the palace doesn't want to give birth to a son
Although princesses are also precious, in this era, they are still far behind princes.
Just when everyone was about to see how Ye Jun would step down, Ning Chen spoke first.
"It doesn't matter what kind of baby she is. I like them all. If it's a daughter, I'll name her Jiaying. I hope she'll be as smart as Ming Xiuyuan."
After saying this, he handed the third prince to the wet nurse.
Then he said to his subordinates, "Princes and princesses are all good. I love all of my children equally."
These words were clearly directed at all the concubines, but in the end his eyes fell back on Ye Jun.
This caused everyone to feel jealous.
In the end, it was the Queen who spoke first, "The Emperor really likes princesses. Ming Xiuyuan hasn't given birth yet, but she has already decided on a name. We can only wait and see."
Once this is said, it means turning the page.
Everyone understood the situation and started talking about other topics.
The main reason is that the emperor has already said so much, and he has even stated that he likes to have daughters. Who would dare to bring this up and make trouble for themselves
But the nicer Ning Chen treated Ye Jun, the more jealous Ye Jun would become.
At this moment, there are probably few people in Zhaochunxuan who hope that Ye Jun can give birth safely.
If there were people who hoped she would give birth to a daughter before, after this incident, I guess they don't even want her to give birth to a daughter.
