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

"Wan'er!"

It was Rong Zhou’s voice.

Su Wanti raised her eyes with a smile, and saw Rong Zhou trotting in.

He was not as steady as usual, looking excited, and held Su Wanti's hand.

"Wan'er, thank you for giving birth to a prince for me." Rong Zhou held Su Wanti's hand with his warm hand, his eyes shining with gratitude.

"I have issued an edict to make you the Imperial Consort."

Su Wanti was stunned for a moment, then struggled to get up, but was held down by Rong Zhou.

She looked terrified, "Your Majesty, I have only been in the palace for a short time and have little experience. I am afraid I cannot take on this responsibility..."

Rong Zhou looked at Su Wanti with gentle eyes and a firm tone, not allowing any objection.

"If I say you can take on the responsibility, then you can take it. I am nearly forty years old and have only one daughter. I thought I would never have children in this lifetime, and I have even made arrangements for the inheritance of the country a hundred years later..."

"I never thought that you could be pregnant with a dragon fetus, that you could give birth to my child!"

"I am very pleased. You are the only one in the entire palace who is qualified to be the Imperial Consort. Only the position of Imperial Consort is worthy of you."

The queen stood behind Rong Zhou, smiling faintly, dignified and virtuous.

"Congratulations, sister. You are so blessed."

Su Wanti didn't really want to refuse. Seeing Rong Zhou's firm attitude, she pretended to be embarrassed, then frowned slightly and said, "Well, then I will accept your order and thank you."

At this time, the wet nurse came over carrying the little prince to pay homage to the emperor and empress.

Rong Zhou looked at the little prince in the cradle with a loving face. The last time he held a baby was when the princess was still young.

At that time, he was the crown prince and had to handle state affairs on behalf of his father. He had many affairs to attend to and had to work day and night, but he would still take time out to visit the princess and hug her every day.

After many years, Rong Zhou finally had the chance to hug his own child again.

He didn't even blink, and his gentle gaze seemed to be glued to the little prince.

Although his limbs were stiff and his movements were unfamiliar, his posture was standard.

He held the little prince in his arms, laughing and teasing the baby in his arms.

The little prince shook his head, opened his eyes, looked at Rong Zhou dazedly, then closed his eyes, twisted his body, and yawned.

So cute.

Rong Zhou's heart melted all of a sudden, becoming soft as if he had eaten honey.

He held the little prince tightly in his arms and laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears.

The Queen also came closer to look at the little prince, and this tiny, soft baby immediately captured her heart.

"The little prince is really fair, just like his sister. But the little prince's eyebrows and eyes are like the emperor's, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and majestic."

Hearing the Queen say that the little prince looked like her, Rong Zhou smiled even more happily.

"My child will definitely look like me. The princess also looks more like me."

Rong Zhou's eyes were full of smiles.

The next day, the imperial decree to promote Su Wanti to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort was announced to the six palaces.

There are some who are happy and some who are sad in the harem.

Noble Lady Wen, Concubine Chun and other people who were close to Su Wanti were all happy.

The higher and more stable Su Wanti's status is, the more comfortable their lives will be in the palace.

Otherwise, if one is not loved and has no children, life is already meaningless. If one is also despised and bullied and lives an uncomfortable life, it would be too miserable.

The imperial concubine, on the other hand, is the “worried” type.

"Huan'er, do you think the emperor will make the little prince the crown prince?" The imperial concubine frowned.

Ever since she heard the news that Su Wanti had given birth to a little prince and was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, she could no longer sit still.

I don't know why, but I feel panicked.

Huan'er thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the little prince is the one the emperor has been looking forward to for a long time. He finally got the prince with great difficulty. There is a great possibility that he will be named the crown prince."

"Moreover, Concubine Su... Imperial Noble Concubine was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces while she was still pregnant. This shows how much the Emperor loves her and how much he trusts her."

"Throughout the dynasties, some concubines were honored because of their mothers and sons, and some princes were honored because of their mothers. As for our Imperial Concubine and the little prince, both mother and son are unparalleled in their nobility!"

"In the future, the Imperial Concubine and the little prince will definitely be the apple of the Emperor's eye."

The lady shrank her neck. The more she listened to Huan'er's words, the more frightened she became.

"Well, I have offended her before. Now she is in power and has the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. She can take charge of the affairs of the six palaces. Will she treat me harshly..."

She felt uneasy, and her voice was not as proud as usual.

Huan'er comforted her, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, you haven't provoked the Imperial Concubine in the past few months, and it was Chi Shuren who harmed the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine won't bear a grudge against you."

"As long as you behave yourself from now on, don't argue with the Imperial Concubine, and don't go against her in everything, the Imperial Concubine won't do anything to you."

"Really?" The imperial concubine looked worried.

Huan'er nodded, and patiently comforted the imperial concubine for a long time, which made the imperial concubine feel temporarily relieved.

"Your Highness, we have to send a gift to the Imperial Concubine. I have already selected the gift. Please review it."

Huan'er was thoughtful and considerate in her work. She asked the palace servants to present the gifts to the imperial concubine and let her review them one by one.

The imperial concubine had no intention of asking about these things. She glanced through them and said:

"Huan'er, I didn't sleep well last night and have a headache. Please give a gift to the one in Yufu Palace on my behalf and tell her that I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid that I might pass my illness on to the Imperial Concubine, so I won't go to see her in person."

"I obey your command." Huan'er nodded and took a team of palace servants to Yufu Palace.

Su Wanti was in confinement after giving birth and didn't want to see outsiders, so Huan'er naturally couldn't see her.

However, Qingye was taking care of Yufu Palace outside, so Huan'er went to see Qingye, presented the gift to her, and relayed the imperial concubine's words to her.

Qingye looked at Huan'er and said with a smile:

"Huan'er, the Imperial Concubine is also thinking about the Imperial Concubine. A few days ago, the Imperial Concubine got a string of coral bracelets of excellent quality. I thought the color would be suitable for the Imperial Concubine, so I was planning to give it to the Imperial Concubine."

"It's just right that you're here. Today I'll give you the coral bracelet and you can give it to the Imperial Concubine. How about that?"

Huan'er naturally nodded in agreement.

All the rewards that Su Wanti received and could not use temporarily were placed in the side hall, so Qingye took Huan'er to the side hall.

The two entered the side hall, Qingye closed the door, and then whispered to Huan'er: "How does the imperial concubine react? What is her plan?"

Huan'er said, "Don't worry, Sister Qingye. The imperial concubine is very panicked now. She has no intention of harming the queen. She is just worried that the queen will retaliate against her."

Qingye and Huaner are from the same hometown and are neighbors. They grew up together.

When they were six years old, heavy rains and floods hit their hometown, and the people were devastated.

In order to survive, the two families left their hometown and came to the capital.

Later, after many twists and turns, Qingye entered the palace and became a maid, while Huaner entered the imperial concubine's mother's home and became the imperial concubine's personal maid.

Qingye worked in the palace for a few years and was then transferred to the temporary palace. It was only two years ago that he was transferred back to the imperial palace to serve.

Two years ago, the two met by chance, recognized each other secretly, and kept in touch privately, but did not tell anyone.

Later, Su Wanti wanted to place someone in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, so Qingye told Su Wanti about her relationship with Huan'er.

Huan'er is the imperial concubine's most trusted palace maid. It would be great if we could recruit her to serve us.

However, Su Wanti was worried that Huan'er grew up with the imperial concubine and they had a deep relationship. How could she be easily bribed by outsiders?
