Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 286 The Queen's Plan to Get Rid of the Mother and Keep the Son

Chunjin Pavilion.

"Your Highness, please wait. The Emperor may come soon. This is a great event in the harem. The Emperor may promote you to a higher position because he thinks you are pregnant with the heir."

Xiu'e said happily, wasn't Concubine Yi promoted from a talented person to a concubine because she married the eldest prince?

"Don't mention the issue of status now." Wang Yuan is not stupid. Bringing up the issue of status now that she is pregnant, isn't that obviously annoying?

"You have to take good care of this room for me. The most important thing now is to protect the baby in your belly. Only when the baby is born safely can we live a good life."

"With the Queen's protection, who would dare to cause trouble?"

Xiu'e curled her lips and said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty listened to me and went to seek refuge with the Queen. Otherwise, those people in the harem would have torn you to pieces and eaten you when they heard that you were pregnant."

"Yes. The Queen is very kind to me."

Wang Yuan was also moved when talking about the Queen. When she knew that she was pregnant, the Queen sent her many precious medicinal herbs and asked her to nourish her body. It can be seen that the Queen also attached great importance to her pregnancy.

The master and servant waited in Chunjin Pavilion for a whole day, and finally met Eunuch Yu in the evening.

Eunuch Yu brought some things symbolically, which were regarded as rewards from the emperor to Chunjin Pavilion.

"The Emperor is busy reviewing memorials and has no time to come over. He asked me to come and tell you that he will come to see the talented lady when he is free." Eunuch Yu said.

Wang Yuan could tell that he was trying to evade the emperor. She was unwilling to accept the result and said, "Please tell the emperor that I feel very uncomfortable and hope he can come to see me."

"If you feel unwell, go find the imperial physician. The emperor can't treat illnesses."

Eunuch Yu was not polite either: "If anyone in the harem is feeling unwell, the emperor has to come to see him. Wouldn't that make the emperor too busy?"

The more Xiu'e looked at him, the more she felt that Eunuch Yu had been bribed by Concubine Huang, and she became even more furious when she heard this.

"How can others compare with our queen? Our queen is pregnant with the emperor's heir..."

"If Your Majesty insists on having the Emperor come to see you, that's fine. Just go ahead and ask for it yourself."

Eunuch Yu would never indulge them. Don’t they know how she got this child? They even want the Emperor to come to see her in person. I’m afraid they don’t know how shameless they are.

Kunning Palace.

After the queen had dealt with the affairs in the palace, she returned to the inner hall. She gave a wink to Nanny Yang, and Nanny Yang sent everyone out of the hall, leaving only the two of them.

"Mammy, this matter...I think Concubine Wang didn't realize it?" asked the Queen.

"Don't worry, Queen, the concubine Wang is too young to think of these things..."

Nanny Yang replied that this was her idea and of course she took it to heart, so she went to Chunjin Pavilion every few days.

"Mammy, I still want my own child. I don't feel close to others."

The queen has been worrying about this matter these days and has lost a lot of weight.

"My lady, we are preparing for both situations."

Nanny Yang advised the Queen: "If the prince gave birth to a princess, it would be her good fortune. If it is a prince, then she... has no need to live."

"My queen, think about it. You have raised him since he was born. If he doesn't like you, who else will he be close to?"

"Besides...I think the emperor is very angry. Who knows how long he will continue to ignore the empress. It is good to have a prince by her side. If the empress gives birth to a legitimate son in the future, will he dare to have any objection?" Nanny Yang advised sincerely.

It turned out that when Wang Yuan came to surrender that night, she just said that she seemed to be pregnant. The queen was angry. At that time, she wanted to tear Wang Yuan who was standing in front of her into pieces.

But she had not lost her mind yet and was able to remain calm. Plus, Nanny Yang kept winking at her, and she was able to control herself and with a pleasant face asked someone to invite the imperial physician to take her pulse.

After confirming that Wang Yuan was pregnant, she acted like a good mistress and carefully reminded her of things to pay attention to.

As for not letting her tell it, it was also the Queen's consideration. She wanted to kill Wang Yuan at that time. If no one knew that she was pregnant, she would die and no one would dare to question it.

After Wang Yuan and her servant left, the queen angrily swept all the teapots and teacups on the table to the ground and said, "Mammy, this bitch must die. I will not allow it... I will not allow a concubine's eldest son to be born before my legitimate son..."

Nanny Yang had been serving the Queen these days and had already figured out her temper. She only started to persuade her when she was tired of venting and sat down to catch her breath.

"Your Highness, you need to understand the situation clearly. If the Emperor doesn't come to Kunning Palace, where can you give birth to a legitimate son? It would be better to let someone else give birth, and then the mother can keep the son..."

Nanny Yang was a person who could persuade people: "If he is raised by you, he is still your legitimate son. Even if the queen has a legitimate son in the future, this will also be a help, right?"

The Queen took her words to heart. Even before the Emperor got angry with her, he came to her just for the sake of formality and didn't touch her, let alone now that he was angry with her.

In the future... she doesn't know when she will be able to get pregnant. Instead of waiting for a hopeless hope, she only needs to take care of the present.

It doesn’t matter who gave birth to the prince. What matters is that he was raised by her, and then he is a legitimate son.

The queen thought that even if she didn't have a legitimate son in the future, this child would still be a support for her. However, why did she feel so sad when she thought that this was the emperor's child with someone else?

"Mammy, I'll listen to you."

The queen finally made up her mind, and the bitches in the harem began to get restless again. I didn't expect that bitch Concubine Du to manage the sewing room so well.

Her people and the Queen Mother's people were making trouble, but they were suppressed by Concubine Du's thundering wrist. They didn't dare to continue making trouble, so the matter was left unresolved. When the Queen thought of this, she was so angry that she had a headache.

And that bitch Lin Jieyu, who had been hiding in her shell for several years, unexpectedly came out this year, contrary to her usual behavior.

Someone came to report that Concubine Lin had spoken to Concubine Huang alone several times. Well, after letting her go for so long, it's time to deal with her.

Thinking of Concubine Huang, the Queen not only had a headache, but also a pain in her heart. Concubine Huang was a thorn in her flesh, and she would never have peace unless she pulled that thorn out.

Even if she was reluctant now, she had to protect the baby of Concubine Wang. Maybe it was really a prince? With a prince by her side, she would not have to worry about the stability of her position as queen.

"Mammy, please send someone to Chunjin Pavilion to keep an eye on it. There must be no mistakes with Concubine Wang's pregnancy." The Queen had finally figured it out.

"Also, let the emperor know in due time how much I care about the pregnant concubines in the harem."

If the emperor was still as soft-hearted as before, he might let go of his grudge and come to her Kunning Palace again. Besides, he loved Ting'er so much...

The queen suddenly remembered that she had not been with the eldest princess for many days.

Although they all lived in Kunning Palace, the eldest princess lived in a side hall and was usually taken care of by Lanruo. Every morning she would bring the princess over to pay her respects and then leave.
