Xia Qing stroked her flat belly over and over again. She didn't even know how Zhuang Zheng left. Ever since she set foot on this road, she had been thinking about how to take revenge on Wei Jingxuan. She never thought that she would be pregnant.
When the baby was born, everything happened so suddenly, which made her a little confused and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Master, come on, sit down quickly. You have been standing for a long time. You can't be tired now." Su Qiu's voice woke Xia Qing out of her thoughts, but she did not sit down, but just looked at her blankly.
Su Qiu was surprised by her look and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Qing looked back, lowered her head and said, "I'm fine, it's just...just a little unexpected."
Hearing this, Su Qiu smiled and said: "Not only you, but this servant is also very surprised, but this is a great good thing. If you can get a man with just one request, the emperor may make you his queen."
This slave remembers that Concubine Ying is pregnant with two children.
My brother was just a nobleman before, but now he is the fourth concubine. I heard that the canonization ceremony will be held in a few days." She spoke in a low voice, and then said: "Sit down first, slave.
Let me report this matter to the Emperor."
Xia Qing had no objection to this and allowed Su Qiu to leave. While waiting for Su Qiu to come back, an idea appeared in Xia Qing's mind. Although she was quickly driven away, it didn't take long before it took over again.
It lingered in her mind.
I don't know how long it took, Su Qiu came in with several palace people, and after saluting, he said happily: "Master, the emperor already knows that you are pregnant with a dragon fetus. He is very happy. He has rewarded you with many things, and also said
I’ll see you later.”
In response to Su Qiu's words, Xia Qing just nodded silently. As for the things Hongli sent, she didn't even look at them and put them in the warehouse.
Seeing her like this, Su Qiu said worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem unhappy?" At this point, she lowered her voice and said: "Don't you like this child?"
"Where are you thinking? This child is willing to fall into my belly. It is my blessing. How could I not like it?" When he looked down at his flat belly, pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.
Su Qiu also felt that she was overthinking, and immediately said: "Master, in the next eight months, you will take good care of your child and give birth to a fat little brother for the emperor. In this way, you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life. No.
She talks about dealing with Wei Changzai, but she will definitely not be able to touch you."
Xia Qing smiled and said nothing. That night, Hongli came to see her and asked her to have a safe pregnancy and have the baby delivered. He also asked the imperial kitchen to deliver five meals a day according to the meals that pregnant women should eat.
Xia Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Five meals a day, the emperor is going to feed this concubine into a big fat man."
Hongli said with a smile: "It is always good to eat more, so that the child will be healthy."
"I know, I will take good care of myself. I hope..." Xia Qing stroked her belly and said, "I am lucky enough to give birth to an elder brother for the emperor."
Hongli raised his eyebrows and said: "I would rather be a little princess. Over the years, only the imperial concubine has given birth to a princess for me, and then there has been no more. It is really a pity."
Xia Qing said meekly: "From today onwards, I will pray to Guanyin, hoping that she will give the emperor and me a well-behaved and smart little princess."
Ever since she was favored by Hongli, Xia Qing has been extremely docile and pleasant. She has always followed Hongli and never contradicted him. Even though she hated Wei Jingxuan in her heart, she did not give up until she was sure.
It's not right to say half a word about Wei Jingxuan in front of Hongli.
Xia Qing's answer made Hongli very satisfied. After saying a few more words, he said to Sixi: "Tell the Jingshifang that I will stay at Yihuaju tonight so that they don't have to send any more signs."
When Si Xi was about to go down, Xia Qing stopped him and said, "My lord Xi, wait a minute." After Si Xi stopped, she said to Hongli, "Your Majesty, there is no need to stay with my concubines. You should go back."
Hongli raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you driving me away?"
Xia Qing hurriedly said: "I don't dare. It's just that I am pregnant now and cannot serve the emperor, so I said this. The emperor must not misunderstand."
"I'm joking with you." Hongli smiled and said, "In that case, I will go back first and come to see you when I have time."
Xia Qing bit her lips lightly and said, "If your Majesty is free, you might as well go and see Wei Changzai. It seems that the Emperor has not summoned Wei Changzai for a few days."
Hongli unexpectedly said: "Jingxuan, when did you become so close to her? Weren't there some... misunderstandings before?"
Xia Qing smiled slightly and said: "The emperor also said that there was a misunderstanding. After so long, it should be resolved. Besides, I am now serving the emperor with her. If there is any dissatisfaction between them, it will only make things difficult for the emperor. If this is the case,
, I, my concubine, have committed a heinous crime."
These words made Hongli feel very comfortable and said with approval: "If everyone in the palace thought like you, there wouldn't be so many things."
Xia Qing said softly: "I believe there will be such a day. Your Majesty, please go over quickly. I just need Su Qiu and the others to take care of me."
After Hongli left, the smile and tenderness on Xia Qing's face disappeared, replaced by a cold and solemn look. After sending the other palace people away, Su Qiu said doubtfully: "Master, don't you hate Wei very much?"
Are you always there? Why are you taking the initiative to ask the emperor to see her now? Do you really not care about what happened in the past? "
"Don't care?" Xia Qing sneered: "Unless I die, it is absolutely impossible to do these three words."
Su Qiu also thought it was impossible, but she just heard Xia Qing say that with her own ears. After a moment of hesitation, she said: "Master, what on earth is going on?"
Hearing her inquiry, the coldness in Xia Qing's eyes became even more intense. She gritted her teeth and said, "After waiting for so long, I finally got a way to deal with Wei Jingxuan. This time... she will never be able to escape."
Su Qiu's eyelids twitched, with a vague premonition, and he asked tentatively: "I wonder what the master said?"
Xia Qing's eyes flashed with crazy light, she slowly stroked her abdomen and said word for word: "The solution is this child!"
Even though she had had a premonition, Su Qiu was still startled by her words and said in horror: "Master, are you planning to use the dragon fetus to frame the fault... frame the fault..." She never dared to say the following words.
; On the contrary, Xia Qing seemed much calmer and said in a cold voice: "Yes, even if I want to use the dragon fetus to blame Wei Jingxuan, I won't be able to clear her away even if she jumps into the Yellow River."
Su Qiu blurted out: "Master, you are crazy. That is a dragon fetus. It is your child. How many people can't hope for it in their lives? How could you do that? I know that you want to deal with Wei Changzai, but this method is really...
…After a while, we’ll have to think of another way.”
