However, Concubine Xu's happiness did not last long, because the two people who seemed to have a good relationship in the eyes of outsiders actually did not have much in common. When they sat on the couch, they looked at each other, and even felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Such awkward silence made Concubine Xu feel annoyed. Since the day she found out she was pregnant, she had been looking forward to the emperor's arrival. She had thought of so many words from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't say a word of the words that had been brewing in her heart for a long time in front of the person she had been thinking about.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy to be pregnant with Di Rui."
"I am happy too."
"I will take good care of myself and try to give birth to a baby boy as soon as possible."
"The imperial physician said that your body is weak and you cannot take too much supplements, so you have to pay attention to your diet." Listening to Concubine Xu saying that she would take good care of herself, Su Jing's mind was filled with Ah Man's malicious suggestions. This little girl of his was really mean. Although there was no shortage of these skin care products in the palace, he would always fulfill his daughter's wishes.
"I will pay attention to it. I am very happy. I didn't expect that the emperor would privately ask the imperial physician about my health condition." Concubine Xu was almost crying for joy. She never dared to hope that the emperor would cherish her so much, but this was the fact. She felt that her heart was about to bloom with joy.
Seeing Concubine Xu so moved, Su Jing didn't know how to respond. He had bad intentions, but was so moved by someone. This feeling was really...
However, after this sentence, the two of them fell into silence again. Concubine Xu tried hard to find a topic in her mind, but when she saw the emperor, her mind was blank, so she could only let the awkward silence continue.
Concubine Xu was afraid of such silence in her heart. She had seen how the emperor and the empress were together. When the two of them were together, the emperor was always smiling, and the two of them seemed to have endless things to say.
"I still have some things to deal with, you should take a good rest." No matter how Concubine Xu tried to change the current awkwardness, Su Jing could no longer bear it. He did not like acting in such an awkward manner, so he left after he finished speaking. Concubine Xu hurriedly got up and sent him away.
When Su Jing walked to the door, Concubine Xu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant, which is also a happy event for my family. Can you please let my parents, brother and sister-in-law come to the palace? I miss them."
After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she lowered her head. She had always tried hard not to become spoiled by the emperor's favor, but deep down she was always unwilling to give in and always wanted to fight for something to prove that she had a certain status in the emperor's heart.
Everyone knows that after the Queen's death, the Emperor issued an order that no ladies of noble birth were allowed to enter the palace, and the families of these concubines were also not allowed to enter the palace. This was said to be to prevent the concubines from conspiring with their natal families like the Queen did.
Therefore, Concubine Xu's request was to prove that her influence was the same as that of the Queen, or even higher than that of the Queen.
Su Jing turned around and looked at Concubine Xu. He knew that Concubine Xu had contact with her family. He even knew that Concubine Xu's father had entered the palace. Therefore, he also understood why Concubine Xu made this request.
"If you want them to come, just ask someone to invite them. Your mother and sister-in-law can enter the palace at any time in the future." Su Jing said with a smile, then turned and left.
He knew that this was Concubine Xu's trick, but he was willing to go along with it because he was not worried about the harem being involved with the former dynasty. What he feared most now was that they were not involved.
Concubine Xu didn't expect that the emperor would agree so easily. This was great news for her.
Before Concubine Xu could express her joy, Su Jing had already left, leaving her with only an increasingly blurry back.
With the emperor's permission, Concubine Xu excitedly asked someone to invite her parents, brother and sister-in-law to the palace that day.
Being pregnant with the emperor's child was a great joy for Concubine Xu and the Xu family. After Concubine Xu's family entered the palace, Concubine Xu's bedroom once again became a sea of joy and happiness.
