Harem Competing Raiders 13
Another three months passed, and Tao Yuan's belly grew bigger day by day. Although the queen mother said that Tao Yuan didn't have to go to pay her respects every day, it was impossible for Tao Yuan not to go all the time. Every two or three days, he still went to Jingshou, and every time he sat and talked with the queen mother, he went back, and it was not very tiring.
Tao Yuan was talking to the queen mother that day, and Ye Rong walked in with a happy face.
"Greetings to the queen mother, and respect to the queen." Ye Rong smiled and saluted the two respectfully.
"Excuse me," said the Queen Mother.
"Thank you Queen Mother."
Looking at the unconcealable joy on his face, Tao Yuan already guessed why he was in such a good mood, but he still asked, "Your Majesty has a happy face, but do you have any happy event to tell the Queen Mother?"
"Report to the queen mother, report to the queen, today the imperial doctor came to give the minister a safe pulse, and said that the minister is undoubtedly a happy pulse, so the minister came here to report to the queen mother."
"Happy Pulse?" The Queen Mother said happily, "You are pregnant too?"
"Yes, the imperial doctor said that I was pregnant, but it was less than two months old, so the pulse was not obvious before." Ye Rong said with a smile.
"It's really great!" The queen mother was also very happy. "You both have children. It's such a happy event. You should tell the emperor about it and make him happy too."
Tao Yuan felt a little sympathetic to the Queen Mother. If she knew that Ye Rong was pregnant with a child that was not her own grandson, she didn't know how she would feel. She probably wanted to tear Ye Rong's heart apart. But Xiao Junye definitely knew it, but how would he deal with Ye Rong and the child in his belly? Tao Yuan suddenly felt very curious.
The empress dowager was talking about going to inform the emperor, and the emperor would be here soon, with a happy expression on his face.
The queen mother thought that he already knew about Ye Rong's pregnancy, so she looked very happy.
But after Xiao Junye saluted the Queen Mother, he looked at Tao Yuan and said, "Your father has a good news, and he will be able to return to court soon."
"Really?" Tao Yuan said happily, "Chen's father can come back?"
"Ningguo and Qiu Yunguo have all retreated, and in order to seek peace, they are willing to pay tribute to my Great Wei every year." Xiao Junye looked at Tao Yuan with a smile on his face and eyes, "Next month at the latest, your father and your elder brother will be able to Back to the imperial city."
"The happy events are really one after another." The Queen Mother also said with a happy smile, "First Axi was pregnant, then Arong was also pregnant, and now Ningguo and Qiu Yunguo have retreated to seek peace. God bless my great Wei, God bless the emperor! "
After hearing what the queen mother said, Xiao Junye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Rong and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Ye Rong just heard about the great victory at the border, and that Mu Yongsheng will soon return to court. Because he was too panicked, his hands were shaking uncontrollably. Hearing Xiao Junye's question, he could only forcefully smile and say, " Yes, Your Majesty, I am pregnant, and the imperial doctor said that I am less than two months pregnant."
"Why?" The queen mother asked suspiciously, "The emperor doesn't know about this yet?"
"I only knew that he was pregnant after listening to my mother." Xiao Junye looked at Ye Rong with a smile on his face and said, "Aiqing is already pregnant, so take good care of your body."
"No." Ye Rong couldn't make him happy when he heard Xiao Junye's concern, his face became more and more ugly.
The Queen Mother noticed that his complexion was not good, and asked with concern, "Arong, your complexion is so bad, do you feel unwell? The imperial doctor from Ai's family will take your pulse."
"The Empress Dowager Xie is concerned, I just feel a little nauseated, it's not a serious problem." Ye Rong said.
"Then go back to the palace to rest first, Ai's family will send you some supplements later, you should take good care of Mingcui Palace to ease the miscarriage, and you don't have to come here every day to say hello."
"Thank you Empress Dowager, that minister will leave first." Ye Rong saluted the Empress Dowager, Xiao Junye and Tao Yuan before turning and leaving.
Before returning to Mingcui Palace, the expression on Ye Rong's face could no longer be maintained. Because of the development of the plot introduced in the game, it would take four years at the earliest for Mu Yongsheng to return to the court as a teacher. Now it is so long in advance For a while, besides being shocked, he was more panicked, because once Mu Yongsheng led his troops back to the imperial city, all his plans would be messed up. It is even more difficult for him to become the queen mother.
As soon as Ye Rong returned to Mingcui Palace, he immediately wrote a note, sealed it up, and asked Lin Qing to send someone to give it to King Yu as soon as possible.
At this moment, King Yu already knew about Mu Yongsheng's request to return to the imperial court. The entire imperial court knew about it, so how could he not know about it. But it was precisely because the entire imperial court knew about him that he knew, so the shock and panic in his heart were no less than Ye Rong's.
After Ye Rong left Jingshou Palace, Xiao Junye and Tao Yuan sat for a while, and they returned to Fenghua Palace together.
Tao Yuan and Xiao Junye came down from the imperial court, and Xiao Junye helped him slowly into the bedroom. Although Tao Yuan's belly was not very big, it was already showing signs of pregnancy, and he himself was a little more cautious.
"Is Your Majesty happy that Your Majesty is pregnant?" Tao Yuan asked after sitting down.
Xiao Junye remained expressionless for a while and then said, "That's not my child."
"Not His Majesty's child?" Tao Yuan made a surprised and puzzled expression on purpose.
"Don't ask about this matter now, I will tell you later, you can raise your baby with peace of mind now, and you don't have to think about anything else." Xiao Junye said, "This time Ningguo and Qiu Yunguo retreated to seek peace, thanks to your things Otherwise, your father would not be able to return to court so soon."
In the past few months, Xiao Junye and Mu Yongsheng have had very close correspondence with each other, so Xiao Junye knows everything about the border. Mu Yongsheng also followed his instructions, and after Ningguo and Qiu Yunguo withdrew their troops to seek peace, he immediately went to work and returned to the court. The reason why he was so anxious to let Mu Yongsheng rush back to the imperial city was because he wanted to control the palace and the government as soon as possible, and those who should be cleaned up should be cleaned up as soon as possible.
Tao Yuan said, "I haven't seen my father for more than two years. It's really great to finally see my father next month."
Xiao Junye hugged him into his arms, gently stroked his stomach with his palms and said, "Before our child is born, I will definitely create a safe environment for you. This palace will soon be completely under my control." , no one can hurt you."
"Your Majesty," Tao Yuan leaned his head on his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty is pregnant, and the other concubines will soon have your Majesty's child, right?"
Xiao Junye's hand paused, and he was silent for a while without speaking. Up to now, he has not been lucky enough to visit other concubines in the harem, and he has no such idea at all.
In this harem, there is a person like Ye Rong, and there may be many people like him. So he didn't want anyone other than Tao Yuan to help him give birth, and he didn't have any interest in other people's bodies. But he didn't know how to tell Tao Yuan that as an emperor, he couldn't express his loyalty to others.
Xiao Junye looked down, Tao Yuan had already fallen asleep leaning against him, he carefully picked him up, then put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt, and he himself lay down beside him.
He stroked Tao Yuan's smooth and tender face, looked at his sleeping face, and his heart was full of love. Only this person moved him sincerely, only this person made him want to grow old with him forever.
Ye Rong was fidgeting in the bedroom, he wanted to see King Yu immediately, and asked him if he had any countermeasures. But he didn't meet King Yu until late at night the next day.
Ye Rong sat by the bed, saw the door open, immediately stood up, and strode over.
"Your Highness..." Ye Rong almost ran, he grabbed King Yu's hand, and said emotionally, "Mu Yongsheng wants his teacher to return to court, why so fast?! Why did Ningguo and Qiu Yunguo retreat so quickly? Reconciled?!"
"Don't get excited, it's not good for the child." Xiao Yuyang hugged him and walked to the bed and sat down, "I only found out when I went to the court yesterday that Mu Yongsheng actually wanted the teacher to return to the court."
"Then what should we do?" Ye Rong asked in a panic, "Mu Xi is now the queen, even if Mu Yongsheng is for Mu Xi, he will definitely help the emperor after he returns to the imperial city. The emperor has taken back his military power, and the first person to be eradicated must be you."
"Things are already like this. We have no way to stop Mu Yongsheng from leading his troops back to the imperial city. We can only take one step at a time." Xiao Yuyang was also very anxious in his heart, but he still comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much, this king is not afraid of you." Something will happen, even if Mu Yongsheng comes back, the emperor can't do anything to me right away. We still have a lot of time, we can plan slowly, and it's not certain who will win in the end."
"My lord, you must be careful, and you must not be caught by the emperor." Ye Rong put his hand on his lower abdomen, "For our children, you must be more careful."
What Ye Rong thought in his heart was that after Mu Yongsheng returned to the imperial city, the emperor would be even more powerful, and he would no longer back down because of Xiao Yuyang's influence in the imperial city. If Xiao Yuyang was caught by the emperor, even if he didn't die, it would be difficult to turn over again. Without Xiao Yuyang's help, it would be difficult for him to realize his goal of becoming the queen mother.
"Don't worry, for you and the child, I will never lose to Xiao Junye." Xiao Yuyang hugged him, and assured him with firm eyes, "No matter how he wants to deal with me, I will not let him succeed."
This is the first time the two met after Ye Rong knew that she was pregnant, but because of the news that Mu Yongsheng suddenly asked the teacher to return to the court, the two were not in the mood to share joy, only the anxiety of facing the imminent crisis.
After Xiao Yuyang left, Ye Rong lay on the bed, put his hands on his belly that was not raised yet, thinking that he had finally gotten pregnant, but now he was facing such a crisis again. But no matter what, he must take the child down. Even if Xiao Yuyang has any accident, as long as everyone thinks that the child belongs to the emperor, he still has a chance.
Ye Rong is pregnant, except that the queen mother is really very happy, and sent someone to send him a lot of supplements. Of course, Xiao Junye also has to show a happy look. Rewards and the like are definitely indispensable, and he has to go to Mingcui specially. Gong looked at him, so that she seemed to be really happy because of his pregnancy.
The next afternoon, Ye Rong was very happy when he found out that Xiao Junye was coming. He still didn't give up the idea of wanting to be favored by Xiao Junye, now that he is pregnant and can't sleep, there is no need to give him medicine. Ye Rong felt that being able to get along with Xiao Junye when he was awake would make him feel better about him. He thought that the reason why he lost to Tao Yuan before was because he didn't have more chances to get along with Xiao Junye.
In the evening, Ye Rong finally waited for Xiao Junye, and he stepped forward to salute with a smile on his face, "Welcome Your Majesty."
Xiao Junye approached slowly, stood in front of Ye Rong and said, "I see that the moon is beautiful tonight, why don't Aiqing accompany me to enjoy the moon?"
"Your Majesty is in a good mood, and I will be your companion." Ye Rong said respectfully.
Xiao Junye ordered people to put melon and fruit snacks in the Moon Appreciation Pavilion of Mingcui Palace, and then walked to the pavilion with Ye Rong and sat down. The carp pond beside the pavilion reflected the bright full moon.
"Aiqing can't drink alcohol, so let's drink this pot of ginseng tea." Xiao Junye brought him a cup of tea with his own hands, and then poured himself a glass of wine.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Rong took it with both hands. Although it was just an ordinary concern, it still made him feel happy, because Xiao Junye had never had such a gentle attitude towards him. As expected, it is good to have a child. He had to grasp it Just seize the opportunity and work hard to get Xiao Junye's favor.
"Why don't I play a song for His Majesty, how about cheering His Majesty?" Ye Rong suggested.
"Aiqing is pregnant, so don't be tired." Xiao Junye said.
"I won't get tired if I play a simple piece." Ye Rong said with a smile, and then ordered the palace attendant to fetch his piano.
The palace attendant brought the piano, Ye Rong washed it clean and burned incense. Just as he was about to start playing, he heard a whoosh sound. The lantern in the hand of the palace attendant next to Xiao Junye fell to the ground, and then fell into the flowers beside the pond. Several men in black rushed out.
"There are assassins! Escort! Escort quickly!"
Ye Rong was stunned and didn't know how to react.
