Chapter 4698 Power without love 13
For a moment, there were congratulations in Fengyi's palace.
Jiujiu immediately said, "Qinghe, send the thousand-year-old wild ginseng that Your Majesty rewarded me to Concubine Cheng. Now that Concubine Cheng has His Majesty's child in her belly, she is a hero of our Great Chu Dynasty. I will be spared from the future greetings."
Qinghe immediately received the order to deliver things.
Concubine Cheng was favored, so Emperor Chu was naturally not willing to be outdone. He opened his mouth and gave the rewards like flowing water. Soon, the news that Concubine Cheng was pregnant spread throughout the harem. For a moment, the concubines in the harem all lost their teeth.
However, all the concubines felt that compared to them, the queen should be the more sour. After all, the queen is still recuperating and cannot be favored even if she is anxious. Concubine Cheng became pregnant. Isn’t this the face of beating the queen?
Everyone was waiting for the queen to take action first, but what they didn't expect was that not only did not take action, Jiujiu even took the initiative to exempt Concubine Cheng from paying respects, and even gave Concubine Cheng a lot of precious medicinal materials so that she could take care of her baby, which made many people unable to understand in an instant.
The queen was born in the Yan family with high power. If the queen could get pregnant, her child would take over the eldest and would be the best choice for the crown prince. If the concubine Cheng gave birth to a baby, she would take over the eldest son.
Emperor Chu was different from his previous king. Emperor Chu was a weak person and even the people around him were unwilling to give his sincerity. The Yan family guarded the border for many years, and the soldiers of the border only knew the Yan family, but not the Emperor Chu.
Moreover, the Yan family holds eight or nine out of ten national military power. Once the Yan family has the intention of being unjust, Emperor Chu has no choice.
Such great achievements shocked the Lord, and it was normal for Emperor Chu to weaken the Yan family.
The concubines in the harem were afraid that the Yan family would be the queen in the backstage, but they knew better than anyone else that as long as the Yan family held military power for one day, the queen would not be pregnant.
But whether the queen can get pregnant is one thing, and whether the queen is willing to let Concubine Cheng be born is another thing.
As long as the queen takes action, Cheng Fei will definitely not be able to sit steadily.
It is obvious that the most unfavorable person in Concubine Cheng is the queen, but why does the queen seem to have become a different person? Not only does she not be jealous, but she considers Concubine Cheng everywhere, which is really strange.
Could it be that the queen is really so generous?
Since Jiujiu ignored Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu has become more thoughtful about Jiujiu than before.
Especially at this moment, when Emperor Chu considered Jiujiu everywhere for Concubine Cheng, he felt that Jiujiu had a better temperament.
When he thought of this, Emperor Chu became more and more sincere to Jiujiu.
However, Jiujiu discovered that since she did not plan to attack Concubine Cheng, the others in the palace began to move.
Emperor Chu was a person who only had a grand state in his eyes. He didn't care about the little fights between concubines. Or, in Emperor Chu's heart, a concubine who could not protect herself when she was pregnant was not worthy of becoming his child's mother.
Jiujiu was speechless about the idiotic behavior of Emperor Chu.
Concubine Cheng is originally from a low-class background, and Concubine Cheng has always been soft-hearted. Although her identity is considered unique in the harem, she does not have many connections to use.
The families of the concubines she attacked were cruel and had connections, and they were willing to deal with Concubine Cheng, so there were a hundred ways to make Concubine Cheng suffer.
Jiujiu didn't have much expectations for Concubine Cheng's child. The most she could do was to not attack Concubine Cheng, but that was all. It was impossible to let her protect Concubine Cheng.
Without the protection of Emperor Chu and Jiujiu, Concubine Cheng could not handle the plot of the fierce concubines at all. After suffering several losses, Concubine Cheng's complexion became haggard with naked eyes.
Jiujiu ignored Concubine Cheng’s experience, but she was particularly concerned about herself.
On the day of the palace banquet, Jiujiu specifically instructed Xiaoguizi to pick up a few martial arts eunuchs to help Concubine Cheng carry the sedan chair. In order to avoid anyone doing anything bad on the road, Jiujiu even instructed the person to lay a thick blanket inside Concubine Cheng's sedan chair. Even if the eunuch who carried the sedan chair fell, Concubine Cheng's stomach would not have any problems.
During this period, Concubine Cheng was exhausted both physically and mentally. She had been plotting several times without knowing where to come. Now Concubine Cheng is already full of soldiers, and everyone who sees him thinks that the other party is the one who frames him.
The first person Cheng Fei’s suspicion was naturally Jiujiu.
However, this doubt was completely dispelled when the sedan chairs Jiujiu prepared for her, and the few eunuchs who were obviously Jianjiazi.
If the queen is willing to plot against herself, why prepare so much? She just needs to send out a sedan chair like usual. Even if something happens halfway, the queen will follow the rules. Even if the emperor is suspicious, she will not be able to say anything.
The queen was so careful that she really didn't want to plot against herself, and even had some intention of maintaining herself.
Even though Concubine Cheng knew that Emperor Chu did not like concubines to form cliques, she had the idea of relying on Jiujiu for the first time.
The queen is too tall and her Majesty cannot allow the queen to get pregnant. Even if she is pregnant, the queen's child can only be a princess.
Even if the queen without children has no ambitions, but without her own prince, she will definitely choose to support other princes. She has a gentle personality, a humble background, and she does not have much ambitions. Supporting her children is definitely the most suitable one.
Concubine Cheng instantly wanted to join Jiujiu. Therefore, when paying respect, Concubine Cheng's face became a little more respectful than she had before.
After the palace banquet is the family banquet.
The palace banquet was surrounded by ministers, and Emperor Chu needed to maintain the emperor's majesty at all times, so naturally he could not do whatever he wanted.
After the palace banquet, the family banquet was surrounded by his own concubines, and Emperor Chu unconsciously relaxed.
Because Concubine Cheng was pregnant, Emperor Chu was in a very good mood. As long as someone came to toast, everyone would refuse. In a short while, he became drunk and directly hugged a concubine he had been favored recently in his arms. The two of them were very ambiguous.
No need to think that when the family dinner is over, he will order this concubine to sleep.
After a woman becomes pregnant, her body changes, her thoughts also change drastically.
I endured my physical discomfort, and because Emperor Chu was subjected to the plot of those unknown concubines, not only did he not get the protection of Emperor Chu, but he had not received a gentle sight and care from him now, but he also had to watch him and others with his own eyes.
What did he treat himself as?
Is a child extremely?
Even though Concubine Cheng knew very well that Emperor Chu was the emperor and the emperor was ruthless, she couldn't help but start to feel sore.
Since she was pregnant, Concubine Cheng has been surrounded by plots and has worked hard to protect the child. Now her face and figure are not as good as before, and her face has grown ugly yellow spots due to pregnancy. (To be continued)
