The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Long before Jing Shu returned to the palace, Lu Zan had already asked someone to send the news back.

Therefore, the concubines in the palace already knew that the Holy Emperor secretly left the palace for a private visit at some point. When he walked to the north of the Great Wall, he fell in love with the daughter of the Northwest Governor Yingtian, and directly canonized her as a noble concubine and gave her the title "Chen" ", this Concubine Chen will follow the Holy Master back to the palace.

Although they haven't seen anyone yet, just hearing the title gave everyone in the harem a strong sense of crisis.

"Chen", where the North Star is located, is used to refer to the throne of the emperor, and is a proxy name for the emperor.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been concubines who were given the title "Chen", and they were all the most valued concubines of the emperors.

"It's so easy for an empress to die, and now there's a noble concubine? She's been directly named a concubine by the Holy Emperor before she even entered the palace? It really makes people curious, how beautiful she is, and how much she is favored by the Holy Emperor."

"Back then, the Holy Emperor favored Empress Yuan, and gave her the title of 'Yuan' regardless of the fact that the empress was still there. This is a title that can only be used by married wives. It is enough to make people jealous. Who would have thought, Concubine Chen? Doesn't this mean that in the In His Majesty’s mind, Concubine Chen is a woman who can be equal to him?”

"Your Majesty is really ruthless. When Empress Yuan passed away, he seemed so devastated that he didn't even go to the harem. But now, only half a year has passed, and he has his beloved Concubine Chen again..."

"If you want me to say, the worst thing about this batch of show girls is that the position has not been decided yet, and before I have even met the Holy Emperor, a concubine Chen comes directly!"

It was amid the discussions among the people in the harem that Jingshu returned to the palace.

On this day, the Queen Mother and all the concubines in the harem went to Shenwumen to welcome the Holy Master early. Even Queen Cao, who was always in poor health and seemed to be dying, was helped out by the palace maids, as if she wanted to see what Concubine Chen was like. Why is it sacred?

It was under such public attention that the carriage driven by Lu Zan and Jing Shu slowly drove into the Shenwu Gate.

Lu Zan got off the carriage first, then personally took Jing Shu's hand and carefully helped her down.

Everyone looked at her from afar and felt that the other party must be a peerless beauty in bright clothes.

Waiting for Jingshu to get closer to Lu Zan, asking everyone to see clearly.

Suddenly, Jing Shu felt as if she heard the sound of ten thousand jaws falling to the ground.

"...She, why is she pregnant? How long has the Holy One been out of the womb? Her belly must be six or seven months old! What's going on? How could the Holy One consecrate a pregnant woman? A pregnant woman is a concubine?"

"This is secondary. Haven't you noticed that she looks very similar to the late Empress Yuan?"

"Oh my God! It really seems like this! What the hell is going on?"

Everyone was talking quietly.

The Queen Mother stared dumbfounded as the pregnant Jing Shu appeared. The original joy of meeting her son had long since disappeared from her face.

When Lu Zan supported Jing Shu's hand and reached her, she finally couldn't help but said in disbelief: "Emperor, why did you bring back a pregnant woman? Could it be that she is the Concubine Chen you canonized?"

"That's right." Lu Zan glanced at Jing Shu, and then said calmly, "She is my Concubine Chen."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Emperor, you are just talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother was so angry that her hands were shaking. "How can you accept a pregnant woman as your concubine? Isn't this a stain on the royal bloodline? The Ai family does not agree! The Ai family will never agree!"

"Queen Mother, what she is carrying in her belly is my dragon heir." Lu Zan frowned and answered her directly.

"Emperor, do you think the Ai family are old and confused? How long have you been out of the palace? But this woman is clearly pregnant for at least seven months! Your letter said that she is the daughter of Yingtian, the governor of the northwest. You should explain it to the Ai family. Wait, Saibei is thousands of miles away from the capital! How did she get pregnant with your heir despite such a long distance!" The Queen Mother thought Lu Zan was deliberately fooling her, and immediately asked angrily.

She didn't think at all that this Concubine Chen was the dead Empress Yuan who she disliked in the palace in the past.

After all, the two of them only look somewhat similar.

Looking closely, there are many things that are different, especially the eyes, which are completely different from the same person.

The deceased Empress of the Yuan Dynasty had a charming appearance, but she was a troublemaker at first glance.

Although the facial features of the Concubine Chen in front of her are still soft and charming, her eyebrows are a bit more elegant. In this regard, she is much more pleasing to the eye than the Empress Yuan.

At this time, Jing Shu closed her mouth and did not speak, leaving everything to Lu Zan to deal with.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine was separated from Yingtian when she was young. She has been raised in the capital these years. I was worried about the affairs of the court and met her when I was out of the palace to relax. I fell in love with her at first sight. Since then, I have been in contact with her many times. I wanted to He took her into the palace, but who knew that she was found by Ying Tian and took her back to Saibei. It was only after I arrived in Saibei this time that I found out that she was pregnant with my dragon heir." General Lu Zan had already prepared for the journey. Tell the Queen Mother what she said.

"Is this really true?" The Queen Mother was still a little skeptical, "You said she was raised in Beijing these years? In what family?"

"The imperial concubine's adoptive father is Qi Jingyun, the Minister of Rites." Lu Zan said.

"Qi Jingyun? If she has been raised in the capital for so many years, why didn't she participate in the last palace draft?" the Queen Mother asked carefully.

"Qi Jingyun's legitimate daughter was also in the last draft. She was afraid that the imperial concubine's color would outshine her, so she deliberately injured the imperial concubine, causing her to be unable to walk. That's why she failed to participate in the last draft."

When Lu Zan said this, there was obvious impatience on his face, "Queen Mother, I know my affairs well. The sun is too hot outside, and the imperial concubine is uncomfortable standing for a long time while pregnant. If you have anything to say, please return to the palace to talk about it."

After saying that, he ignored the Queen Mother and the expressions of the other concubines. He directly took Jingshu's hand and sat on the ceremonial chariot that came to greet her, and accompanied her back to the harem.

Lu Zan originally wanted Jingshu to live in Zhongcui Palace, which was close to Yangxin Palace and would be convenient for her to come and go.

This Zhongcui Palace was previously specially cleaned up for her and wanted her to move there.

Ke Jingshu insisted on living in the former Yicui Palace.

"The Yicui Palace is quiet and easy to leave. I like the Yicui Palace. If the emperor is too far away, you don't have to come to my concubine's place and don't go out."

What she said made Lu Zan dare not say anything at all, so he could only let her do it.

All the way we finally arrived at Yicui Palace.

No one greeted him at the door.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell the people in Yicui Palace to wait here?" Lu Zan looked at Wang Zhong who was waiting on the side and asked with a frown.

Wang Zhong also had a question on his forehead.

He quickly said: "Two days ago, I received the emperor's letter and immediately ordered the people in Yicui Palace to tidy up this place. Let me go in and take a look."

However, Jingshu stopped him and asked Zitang to help him get off the carriage: "No need, I'd better go in and have a look in person."
