Ye Jun frowned, "You mean, Miss Wan is pregnant?"
"I heard from the kitchen that this is what they meant, but I can't be completely sure just by looking at the taste of the food." Nan Zhi said.
Some people just like sour food, or maybe they suddenly want to eat it at these times.
Without a royal physician, you can't trust everything he says.
Ye Jun nodded, meaning the same thing.
"Let's just wait and see. Don't pay attention to things that have not been concluded. But since we have doubts, we have to be careful. We don't want to hurt people, but we have to be careful of others plotting against us."
“I know. I’ll pass the message on right away. Have less contact with Miss Wan and be careful with what you say and do.” Nan Zhi said.
Ye Jun bent his fingers and tapped the table again and again, thinking about the current situation of the harem.
Although the queen is not favored, she has never made any obvious mistakes. She is respected by the emperor and her position is stable. Now that she has the eldest prince, her position will naturally be more stable.
Among the concubines, Concubine Shu and Concubine Jingde were not favored, but they had seniority, high positions, and children. These two were treated with respect and were basically not affected by fluctuations.
Of course, under Concubine Jingde is Qin Wanrong. Qin sacrificed herself to save the second prince last year. After her promotion, she received more favors and is now considered to be among the top concubines.
Further down, Hui Zhaorong is of the same faction as himself, and has not slept with the emperor for a long time, but she still has some face in front of the emperor.
As for Ye Jun herself, she can now be said to be the most favored concubine in the harem, and has firmly suppressed Yi Shunyuan.
Yi Shunyuan had misjudged the person. Li, the daughter of Jingzhao Yin, was not favored at all among the newcomers. She had only relied on her family background to get the position of Wanrong. For her, it was of no help at all at the moment.
I don't know why, but Lady Huo used to have some favor, but after her family made contributions, her favor faded.
Maybe it’s because Huo’s appearance is not very outstanding.
At the moment, only Concubine Qi and Concubine Wan can get a share from her and Yi Shunyuan.
Wan's family background is good, so she didn't curry favor with anyone since she entered the palace. Now that she is pregnant, she will definitely take the path of establishing her own business.
Being one step faster than Concubine Qi, I'm afraid she will be suppressed from now on.
After all, the favors of these two people are equal from the beginning, and once someone breaks the balance, it will soon tilt.
There are only two levels between a beauty and a concubine. As long as the baby is born safely, she will be promoted.
In the near future, Lady Wan will also have a say in the harem.
What Ye Jun can be sure of is that she and Wan cannot be friends.
I haven't said I understand Miss Wan's personality over the years, but I have at least gotten a rough idea of it. She is a lone wolf and a noble lady who only accepts others to come to her, and will not take the initiative to attach herself to or form an alliance with others.
Anyway, his personality is 50% similar to Ye Jun's.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If Wan really gets angry, she will be more difficult to deal with than Yi Shunyuan.
If it were someone else, they would probably prepare to have Miss Wan miscarriage after hearing the news, but Ye Jun did not want to harm an innocent child.
What's more, it's still unclear whether the news casually said by the kitchen staff can be trusted. What if it is deliberately plotted by someone else? Wouldn't we fall into the trap
If you don’t want to be caught up by the Wan family in the future, you have to stand higher.
At the moment, Shunyi is not enough, she has to be one of the top three concubines with the character Zhao among the nine concubines.
This kind of thing still takes time to plan, so we can only take it slowly.
The next day, when paying respects, Hui Zhaorong did not come.
She sprained her foot and the second princess was also injured, so the queen exempted her from paying her respects.
Perhaps because she was pregnant with a child, the Queen was in particularly high spirits today, and was showing off her majesty. However, everyone was trying to avoid mentioning the fact that the Emperor had just lost his temper yesterday, so no one tried to disrupt her performance, which made her feel a little proud.
After paying their respects, Ye Jun brought Concubine Zhou and Zheng Wanrong to Yongning Palace.
Hui Zhaorong sat on a small couch in the outer room and asked the servants to serve tea and snacks.
"Thank you for your concern, sisters. The Second Princess and I are fine now."
"I was worried too. I should have come yesterday, but I thought my sister had just had some rest and I didn't want to disturb her, so I came today." Ye Jun said.
It is better to explain what needs to be explained to avoid misunderstanding.
Lady Zhou also nodded, "I threw the Second Princess to the ground hard yesterday. It's no small matter that she kowtowed."
"When I was a child, I fell off a horse and broke my head. I was unconscious for several days. The doctor said I should lie down and rest more. Children are very active. Zhaorong, please give the servants some instructions." Zheng Wanrong also said.
After hearing this, Hui Zhaorong was stunned for a moment.
"Zheng Wanrong can also ride a horse?"
"I am also from a military family. I was very naughty when I was little. I'm not afraid of my sisters laughing at me when I tell them that I know some Kung Fu. I would practice it occasionally when I lived alone, but now I haven't practiced for a long time." Zheng Wanrong said embarrassedly.
Ye Jun suddenly became interested.
"I wanted to learn when I was young, but my father didn't teach me. I do know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows. Zheng Wanrong knows some martial arts, so she will teach me a few self-defense moves someday."
Zheng smiled and nodded, "As long as Shunyi wants to learn, you can ask me to go anytime."
The atmosphere was originally quite depressing, but after these few words, it became lively.
After all, the second princess was not seriously injured, and Hui Zhaorong took the opportunity to get rid of the hot potato of the eldest prince. She was considered to be completely well after this period.
Not wanting to bother Hui Zhaorong too much, he left after working for less than half an hour.
Ye Jun was not just talking, he immediately made an appointment for Zheng Wanrong to go to Zhaochunxuan to teach her tomorrow afternoon.
Anyway, it can strengthen your body and protect yourself, so just learn it if you have the chance.
The court was busy these days and Ning Chen had no time to come to the harem, so Ye Jun followed Zheng Wanrong to learn for five or six days.
However, she had been living a life of luxury for so long that her body had become much more pampered. Soon she could not bear it anymore and asked to stop and rest for a few days.
In a blink of an eye, it was already early June, and Miss Wan suddenly announced that she was two months pregnant.
This is a thunderclap.
Qixiang Palace, where Miss Wan lived, suddenly became a hot spot.
Even though Ning Chen was busy with his work, he still took the time to go to Miss Wan's place for lunch and visit her.
But it was just a look and no promotion was given.
Obviously, it is not as easy to get a high position now as before.
At that time, Yi Shunyuan and Ye Jun were promoted when they were pregnant, and then promoted after giving birth. It seems that Wan Meiren will have to wait until she gives birth before she can be promoted.
Wan was not very happy in her heart, because she had a good family background and felt that she should be no different from the previous one, but the emperor did not ask for it, and she could not take the initiative to ask for it, so she could only bear it.
What she is worried about now is that she will only be a concubine after she gives birth to a child. According to the rules, she cannot raise a child if she is not one of the Nine Concubines. What should she do
Mrs. Wan was only worried about not being able to raise the baby, but the Queen was extremely distressed.
The queen was unable to give birth.
I have tried every possible way to take care of myself since my miscarriage, but I have never been pregnant again.
It is even more painful to see the newlyweds get pregnant again.
Nanny Ding felt heartbroken when she saw this.
In recent days, she has always felt unwell, thinking that she is old after all, and she is afraid that she can no longer accompany the queen for a long time. She must help the queen remove more troubles while she can still move.
