Concubine Wang lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Promotion is something that will happen after I give birth to this baby. Right now I am all alone and feel a little uneasy."
After a pause, he continued, "I know that you may not believe me when I suddenly say that we should take care of each other, but I have already said this. Please think about it carefully, sister."
"Okay, since you want to go back, I won't bother you any more. I just hope you remember what I said." Concubine Wang stood up, smiled softly, then left holding the maid's hand.
Later, Ye Jun didn't rush to leave. He just held the tea, sipped it in small sips, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Beauty?" Huiyue saw that she was distracted and called out softly.
"Well, let's go. It's time for us to go back." Ye Jun put down the teacup and stood up.
The master and his servants walked back without speaking a word along the way.
After returning to Yuxiu Pavilion and closing the door, he brought up what had just happened.
"In your opinion, how credible is what Concubine Wang said?"
“I think we cannot trust her completely, but she seems to be telling the truth. Maybe she wants to protect the baby in her belly first.” Nan Zhi spoke first.
Ye Jun looked at Huiyue again.
The latter continued, "I think the same as Nan Zhi, but I don't understand why Concubine Wang said she was pregnant so early. Isn't this adding unnecessary risks?"
Having said this, Nan Zhi also nodded and looked over with a puzzled look on her face.
Ye Jun chuckled and then slowly spoke.
"Although there are already two pregnant women in the palace, it is still unclear whether they can give birth safely. The emperor has few children, so he will naturally take care of it personally. Otherwise, how can Concubine Wen be safe if she is so favored?"
"Besides, there are two pregnant women in front of us now. If she is one more, she won't be too conspicuous. With Concubine Wen in front, others won't pay too much attention to her."
"If we wait another two months, until the baby is three months pregnant, Concubine Wen will be eight months pregnant by then, and she could give birth at any time. The Emperor will only be concerned about Concubine Wen, and even if Concubine Wang reveals that she is pregnant, he will not ask the Emperor to take care of her."
"So, if you take the initiative to tell her now, the emperor is willing to give her some. As long as the emperor makes some arrangements, won't it be much safer?"
These words were like enlightenment to the two girls, and they suddenly understood everything after hearing them.
"This Concubine Wang is so smart and capable, why would she come to you to show her kindness and ask for help?" Huiyue said.
Ye Jun raised an eyebrow and turned the bracelet on his wrist nonchalantly, "Her words are half true and half false, but she shouldn't embarrass me right now. It's a good thing to have one less enemy in the palace, but we can't let our guard down. We still have to be careful everywhere."
The two girls agreed seriously, and the matter was over.
On that day, the emperor naturally went to see Concubine Wang and stayed overnight, which showed his respect for her.
As Ye Jun said, Ning Chen still cares about his offspring and has specially arranged for an imperial physician to be in charge of Concubine Wang's pregnancy.
Over the next ten days or so, several newcomers who had not been able to enter the palace of marriage finally came to serve the emperor in bed one after another.
The rank of several of them were all Cainu. After serving the emperor, only Cainu Liu did not get promoted, while the other two, Zhou and Zheng, were promoted to Baolin.
This is nothing. According to convention, it is almost an unwritten rule that those who enter the palace with a low rank will be promoted after sleeping with the emperor.
Unless the emperor has something against you, such as Liu Cainv and Yang before.
During this period, Zhang Baolin, who had been under house arrest for half a month, finally reappeared.
With more people coming, it becomes more lively when people go to Fengqi Palace to pay respects every day.
As for Ye Jun, she has always been known as someone who is not easy to mess with, so no one dares to mess with her.
Only Liu Cainü bumped into him the day after he had slept with him. Ye Jun didn't show any mercy and slapped her in the face.
Liu went to Jiuchen Palace to file a complaint, but not only did she not see the emperor, she was also scolded. Only then did she behave herself.
At noon that day, the wind suddenly started to blow and it looked like it was going to rain, but not a drop of rain fell for the entire afternoon.
In the evening, Ning Chen actually came over.
As soon as he entered the house, it started raining heavily behind him.
Ye Jun helped him change into casual clothes with a faint smile on his face.
"Why are you so happy?" Ning Chen lowered his head and looked at the petite woman tying his belt.
"I am waiting for my lord, and the rain is coming to keep us here. God knows my heart, and it is raining when the emperor comes. Now the emperor cannot leave."
Ye Jun raised his head, and stared at Ning Chen with a pair of misty eyes.
It was a dark rainy day and candles had just been lit in the room. The warm light of the flames shone on the girl's charming face, as if giving her a faint halo, which was unspeakably soft.
Being used to her eccentricity, when Ning Chen saw Ye Jun like this, especially during the heavy rain, he suddenly had the urge to hug this woman tightly.
She is like light, bright and lively on weekdays, and warm and gentle on rainy days. No matter when or what she looks like, she is just right and makes people happy.
Whatever your heart desires, you will naturally do.
Ning Chen pulled the person into his arms and hugged her without saying a word. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had closed his eyes.
Feeling the delicate body in my arms, I felt warm and comfortable in my heart.
Ye Jun was a little stunned at first, but reacted instantly, trying to relax and be gentler, and raised her hands to hug Ning Chen's waist.
Not too light, not too heavy, just enough for him to feel her presence.
The two hugged each other for a while, and when they separated, Ning Chen blushed.
Ye Jun just smiled and didn't say much, then went to arrange dinner.
It started to rain, and the chill of late autumn began to set in. I felt cold after dinner.
The servants quickly prepared water for them to wash up, and made a pot of hot tea for everyone to drink a cup before they lay down on the couch.
As Ning Chen lay down, his mind was filled with Ye Jun smiling and saying to him, "I am waiting for my husband," and the hug just now made him reminisce.
So, before Ye Jun could react, he was pulled into someone's arms and held.
Ning Chen was now very familiar with the process and stripped the man clean in just a few moves.
After washing up and lying down again, Ye Jun was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She hugged Ning Chen's arm and fell asleep without thinking.
Looking at the well-behaved little woman beside him, Ning Chen wanted to laugh in his heart. As expected, a cat will put away its claws only when it falls asleep.
Although he felt helpless, he still hugged the person.
At that time, the rain outside was getting heavier and the wind was blowing hard. People could not stand in the corridor, so the servants went to sit in the ear room. It was still possible to make a pot of hot tea.
Ye Jun felt comfortable with Ning Chen as her warm stove. However, in the cold palace, Jin, who had been demoted to a commoner, was frozen all night because she had no thick clothes or quilts and her house was leaking.
