It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

After the queen returned to Changle Palace, her face was still full of joy.

Now that Concubine Su is pregnant, she has finally put her mind at ease, and feels relaxed and happy.

"Finally, a concubine in the harem is pregnant. The royal family will have an heir. I am so happy." The queen sighed.

The nanny beside the queen turned her eyes, lowered her head and whispered to the queen:

"Empress, if Concubine Su gave birth to a little prince, then you might as well take the little prince and raise him..."

The queen frowned and shook her head.

"Mammy, please don't say such things again. Although I have never given birth to a child, I am also someone's daughter. I know that mother and child are connected by heart. How can I forcibly separate a mother and child because of my own selfish desires and make them separated and heartbroken?"

"Besides, if the prince grows up and learns about this from others, will he resent me? How can I explain it to him?"

"I am the queen. One of the queen's duties is to continue the royal bloodline and give birth to a royal heir. Unfortunately, I have not been able to conceive in these years. The emperor and I are of the same age, and I have passed the best childbearing age. I can only pin my wish of having children for the emperor on the young concubines."

"Mammy, you also know that since the emperor ascended the throne, I have prayed to the Buddha many times in the past ten years, hoping that God would have mercy on me and give the royal family a son. Now that God has finally blessed my great prayer, how can I do something that is against heaven and law and ruin this blessing?"

The nanny lowered her eyes and nodded. She knew that the queen was always wise, and she also realized that what she had just said was inappropriate.

However, she was still worried about the Queen. She was afraid that the Queen would have no one to rely on in the future. She was also afraid that the Queen's position would be lost if she had no children.

"Empress, if Concubine Su is restless and covets your position as Empress by virtue of her son's status, what will you do then?"

The Queen looked far away and said softly:

"I don't think Concubine Su is an ambitious person. If she really gives birth to a prince and covets the position of empress... never mind, let's talk about the future later. My mother's family is also a prominent family, and my father and brother are not unknown people. The emperor will not easily depose the empress."

"The most important thing now is to take good care of Concubine Su and let her give birth to the emperor's child safely."

The queen didn't want to worry about things that hadn't happened yet, nor did she want to regard Su Wanti as an imaginary enemy.

The emperor treated her very well, and Su Wanti was always docile and had never contradicted her by taking advantage of his favor, so she still wanted to be a good and virtuous queen.

"Mammy, go to the imperial kitchen and select a few trustworthy cooks and send them to Yuxiu Palace to serve Concubine Su. Then select a few female doctors and have them go to Yuxiu Palace to take care of Concubine Su's daily diet."

"You have to do these two things yourself, and make sure you choose someone with a clean family background and a good character."

"Also, the Emperor has given the Guanju Palace to Concubine Su. Now that the Guanju Palace has just been renovated, we had planned to let Concubine Su move in soon. But I heard that when a woman is pregnant, it is taboo to move. It is better to wait until Concubine Su gives birth to a baby boy safely before moving."

The queen made careful arrangements for Su Wanti, and she was looking forward to the birth of the first child after the emperor ascended the throne with great joy.

The atmosphere on the imperial concubine's side was not very good.

After leaving Yufu Palace, the imperial concubine returned to her palace full of doubts.

Chi Liangdi also came back with her.

Since the last Imperial Lake Banquet, Chi Liangdi has often visited the Imperial Concubine, and as time goes by, their relationship has become closer.

After returning to the palace, the imperial concubine said nothing, full of thoughts.

Chi Liangdi was alert. She had already noticed the Imperial Concubine's abnormality, so she carefully tested her feelings:

"Is the Imperial Concubine thinking about Concubine Su's pregnancy?"

The imperial concubine raised her eyes, looked at her with her beautiful eyes, and said:

"Don't you find it strange? In the more than ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, none of us concubines have been able to conceive a dragon fetus, but she has been pregnant with a dragon fetus for only three months after entering the palace..."

"I didn't go to the Royal Temple to pray that day. You went with the Queen and the others. What did the abbot say at that time? Could she really be the chosen one?"

The imperial concubine still didn't believe that Su Wanti was really pregnant. She felt there must be a conspiracy.

Hearing this, Chi Liangdi lowered her eyes and thought. She recalled going to the royal temple to pray for blessings, trying to find something unreasonable.

After a while, she suddenly had an idea and said:

"My Lady, I have a bold guess, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The imperial concubine saw her eyes sparkling and her face mysterious, and asked excitedly: "Did you find something? Tell me!"

Chi Liangdi closed the door of the inner room, then moved closer to the imperial concubine, her eyes gleaming with a faint light, and said:

"My Lady, I'm thinking that maybe the Kirin fortune stick that was drawn when we went to the temple to pray was tampered with by someone, and was deliberately drawn by Concubine Su..."

"What the abbot said may have been arranged by the queen long ago."

"Those two imperial doctors were invited by the Queen's trusted nanny. Their words may have been arranged by the Queen."

Chi Liangdi's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if she had discovered a huge conspiracy.

"Perhaps, Concubine Su's pregnancy is fake, and she was also arranged by the Queen."

The imperial concubine only felt her scalp tingling, and the air around her suddenly condensed.

She frowned and looked at Chi Liangdi with disbelief.

"Your guess is quite bold, but... it's not impossible. Keep talking!"

Chi Liangdi continued:

"Given Su Guipin's reputation outside the palace, she shouldn't have entered the palace, but the queen still let her in. After Su Guipin entered the palace, the queen also took extra care of her..."

"The Queen has always wanted an heir, and Concubine Su was chosen by her to enter the palace. Maybe the two of them worked together to create a fake pregnancy, and when the baby is born, they bring a baby boy into the palace. Then the status of the Queen and Concubine Su will be secure."

After hearing what Chi Liangdi said, the imperial concubine narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked:

"Besides taking a pulse, is there any other way to determine whether a woman is pregnant?"

Chi Liangdi's eyes turned bright and she whispered:

"I do have a folk method, but it's used by country women. The method is not very clean, and I'm afraid it will pollute your ears."

"No problem, just tell me."

Chi Liangdi then approached the imperial concubine, holding the silk handkerchief half covering her lips, and whispered:

"There is a saying in my hometown that if you use a woman's spring to water wheat seeds, after one night, if the wheat seeds sprout, then you are pregnant. If they don't sprout, then you are not pregnant."

The imperial concubine pursed her nose, with a look of disdain on her face.

"What kind of method is this? Do we have to steal her underground spring?"

Chi Liangdi also felt embarrassed.

"This is the only method I know. Concubine Su is being taken care of very carefully now. There is no one around her. We can't arrange for a doctor to come and check her pulse. We have to think of other methods. Although this method is a folk remedy, it is very effective."
