mid-year.

Song Wan's belly is getting bigger day by day. After the first few months, the uncomfortable feeling has not diminished at all, and it is still very lively and active, moving around in her belly.

Qing He and Qing Cui kept saying that she was carrying a little prince, otherwise they wouldn't be so naughty. They were scolded by her a few times before they restrained themselves.

Concubine Xian was really banned for half a year. During this period, the Wang family also came to ask for mercy, and Song Ziqi repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield. The emperor seemed to value the Song family more, and the Wang family did not dare to threaten her in the limelight.

If you make the emperor angry, you might be resented.

In this case, it is better to let the concubine Xian stay in peace and reflect seriously.

Half a year had passed, and when Concubine Xian stepped out of Jingqing Palace, she felt that the sun was dazzling her eyes, and she was in a trance.

In just six months, it was like a year for her. Her palm-sized face, her chin became sharper, and her complexion became more depressed.

"Pack up the two pajamas that I have made. I will go to see the emperor later." Concubine Xian said to the maid beside her with cold eyes and no warmth in her tone.

"Yes." The other party lowered his head and responded submissively.

"Where is Lianqing?" Concubine Xian asked again.

Hearing this, the maidservant trembled slightly and buried her head lower, "Sister Lianqing has a high fever today and can't get up."

Concubine Xian glanced at her coldly and said, "It's useless."

The maidservant was frightened.

Ever since they were banned, the emperor had sent people to guard them, so their Jingqing Palace was effectively isolated and knew nothing about the outside world.

Concubine Xian sent people to inquire about the situation in the palace many times, but found nothing, and her temper became more and more weird. She often took it out on these slaves. The first one was Lian Qing, who was not doing things well, and she had two scars on her face that could not be removed.

After getting ready, Concubine Xian carefully put on makeup, put on rouge, inserted a fringed hairpin into her hair, and changed into her most beautiful clothes.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he glanced at the maid from the corner of his eye and asked, "Do I look good?"

"Of course the empress is the prettiest. Anyone who sees her should take a second look. When I saw your empress for the first time, I was fascinated." The maid had a sweet mouth and kept praising her.

Concubine Xian's face softened a little, and a smile appeared on her lips. She was very satisfied with her answer, "Which one is more beautiful, me or Concubine Shu?"

She has never acknowledged Song Wan's promotion to a noble concubine.

The emperor didn't know what he was planning, but as long as her Wang family was still there, the emperor would have to be interested in her.

The maid's reaction was a little slow, "Of course I am beautiful."

In fact, the imperial concubine is more charming than the empress, the kind that makes people feel itchy. On the other hand, their empress now looks a little scary.

Concubine Xian is sensitive, how can she not feel it?

Immediately, his face became sullen and his eyes were cold. When he stood up and walked out, he glanced at the maid behind him with no warmth in his eyes and said, "Just stay in the palace. There is no need to go with me."

"...Yes." The maid breathed a sigh of relief without having to serve her. When Concubine Xian noticed it, her eyes became even colder.

What a blind bitch!

Knowing that the emperor had just left the court, Concubine Xian took the route that the emperor must pass and set out at the right time.

Not far away from the palace gate, I saw the concubine who was deliberately avoiding her. She turned around and ran back, but unfortunately she didn't have time to hide.

Concubine Xian slowed down and said, "Hasn't the Jade Concubine been released from the ban a long time ago?"

"The Jade Concubine has been banned for three months." The maid beside him replied.

"What? It's okay if you don't come to greet me when you learn that I have been released from the ban. Is it like seeing a savage beast when you see me now?" Concubine Xian sneered.

madness.

She recalled how when Song Wan was grounded, a bunch of people gathered around her to please her, but now they all avoided her like snakes and scorpions.

The maid continued: "Your Majesty, last month Mr. Zhang was investigated and punished for seeking power for personal gain. The emperor was furious, and it is said that he was almost demoted. The Jade Concubine is now very stable and does not go out much after the ban is lifted."

When Concubine Xian heard this, she raised her eyebrows and then said, "It's better to stay well."

Mr. Zhang was originally on his father's side, but now it is useless, and she is too lazy to deal with the brainless Jade Concubine.

After going around in a circle, as soon as we reached Huaiqing Palace, we saw a bright yellow figure in the distance, surrounded by people.

Today's Holy Emperor is undoubtedly a handsome person, with a tall figure, outstanding appearance, and a majestic aura. She likes him, for his identity, and for the infinite glory he can give her.

She is very competitive and cannot allow others to live better than her. Only the most noble person in the world can be worthy of her.

For this, she did not hesitate to sacrifice everything.

When he came closer, Concubine Xian had straightened her appearance, smiled appropriately, and walked forward in small steps.

"I have met the emperor." She saluted, her voice deliberately lowered to sound a bit pleasant.

"Get up." Ji Huai stopped.

"The emperor has just come to court?" Concubine Xian was not embarrassed and said with a natural expression, "I have cultivated myself in the past few months and made several clothes for the emperor."

As she spoke, the maid brought the box over.

The emperor's punishment was a punishment, and she could only endure it. She suffered it silently. Even if this matter turned the page and made the emperor angry, it would be counterproductive.

After all, he went too far in this matter, and she accepted it openly, so he would always feel guilty, right?

"I'm interested." Ji Huai said in a neither salty nor cool tone, nodded, and glanced at Eunuch Yuan Hai.

Eunuch Yuan Hai stepped forward to accept it, smiling smoothly, "I will help the emperor accept it."

"I have made an appointment with Mr. Li to discuss government affairs and will leave first." Ji Huai had already left before he finished speaking.

"I respectfully present you to the Emperor."

Concubine Xian looked at his back with a slight smile on her lips, and there seemed to be a determination to win in her eyes.

In the past, I always felt that I couldn't be more radical, but now, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't.

The emperor has no objection to her, so that will be easy to handle.

Unfortunately, before she could be happy for a while, Lian Qing brought back news when she returned to the palace: The emperor went to Jingyang Palace.

"I heard that the imperial concubine had a stomachache today, so the emperor hurried over." Lian Qing knelt on the ground and spoke.

There is a scar on her face, which was caused by porcelain. Even if it is covered with rouge and gouache, it can be seen at a glance.

"I've been pregnant for a long time, aren't you used to it? It's a bit pretentious to be pregnant with a baby!" The veins in Concubine Xian's hand holding the handle turned white with force, and she looked full of anger.

"The emperor has not recruited other concubines to sleep with you during these months of confinement." Lian Qing said in a low voice, "The imperial concubine has to accompany the emperor every day. I don't know if it is because the emperor rested in the imperial study room last night.

There was a fuss when I woke up today."

Of course, this statement is an exaggeration. It is true that he has not recruited anyone else, but it is false that he will accompany him every day.

If it were in the past, Concubine Xian might not believe it and had never invited someone to sleep with her. She was stunned, "Are you sure?"

"I just went to check, it's true." Lian Qing nodded.

Concubine Xian was shocked. After the ban was lifted, she didn't ask any of these questions at all. How could a pregnant concubine still serve the emperor?

Naturally, someone will take over. I also want to ask which sister is the most favored.

It's no wonder that she didn't know that the emperor had banned everyone in their palace this time. He found a reason and didn't take good care of her. He was derelict in his duty and should reflect on everything.

"This pregnancy of hers is really precious. It is really the dragon fetus that has been long-awaited for a long time." Concubine Xian spoke in a strange way. Looking at her newly made nails, her expression returned to normal, "Song Ziqi has made many military exploits. It is incredible to say that.

That’s reasonable. Dad can’t be relied on anymore, so my brother will make up for it.”

After saying that, she smiled at Lian Qing, but that smile made people feel bad in their hearts, "So, I'm looking forward to her brother's triumphant return."

It's best if you have great achievements and overshadow the master, then there will be a good show.

Lian Qing knelt on the ground, raised her head and said, "Then, the imperial concubine is so arrogant. If this child gives birth to a prince, then that's not..."

"Yes, that would be fun. The eldest prince's mother's family is so powerful before the emperor is married..." Concubine Xian didn't finish the second half of her sentence, but just covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm kind of looking forward to it."

She will give birth to a eldest prince."

When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be a disaster, right?

Thinking that Concubine Xian was in a much better mood, she would go to enjoy the flowers in the evening, and everyone was waiting to see her laugh, so she pretended that nothing happened.

After only half a year of confinement, I didn't see much change in the harem.

In the Royal Garden.

Most of the flowering period has passed, some flowers are blooming here and there, and small yellow wild flowers are also blooming in the grass.

Breeze.

"My Lady, please slow down, if something happens, the Emperor will not spare us."

"Oh, my slave will help you catch him. You are tired. The little prince is making trouble again."

"The Emperor is here, the Emperor is here."

....

"Qing Cui, don't lie to me. The emperor told me this morning that he will only come to accompany me and the child in the evening."

The last voice was so familiar, with a delicate and charming tone, and she was in such a good mood that Concubine Xian stopped moving.

"Your Majesty, just stand still, I will catch you." Qing Cui was helpless.
