"I suddenly felt nauseated this morning, so I called the imperial doctor. It turns out that I am pregnant. This is also my first time being pregnant, and I only believe that you will not harm me. I want to gain some experience from you."
Only then did Ye Fuxun understand that Concubine Li was asking her for advice.
"That's really congratulations, empress."
Concubine Li was also very happy. As long as she gave birth to a royal son, she would have someone to rely on in the harem.
“I want to know if I can still take care of my skin as before after pregnancy?”
Ye Fuxun was stunned. She didn't pay much attention to the skin problem when she was pregnant with white spots, but at that time she often mixed milk with ground roses and applied it on her face.
"Empress Li Fei, you must never touch the makeup of the past, especially rouge. You can usually apply some milk mixed with ground roses on your face, which will make your skin whiter and tenderer."
…
Concubine Li also asked many questions, and Ye Fuxun answered them one by one. Until late at night, Concubine Li was pregnant and tired and fell asleep on the side.
Upon seeing this, Ye Fuxun quietly left Qingli Palace and returned to the East Palace.
There was a figure outside the palace wall who kept watching Ye Fuxun leave and then disappeared into the darkness.
The next day, the concubines came to the Queen's Palace to pay their respects. Concubine Li came a little late because she slept late last night and was pregnant.
The queen's face remained calm, and she had really thought about how to make things difficult for Concubine Li.
"I'm tired, I accidentally came a little late, I hope the Queen won't blame me." Concubine Li took the initiative and was helped into the main hall by the palace maid to ask the Queen for her luggage.
The queen smiled gently and raised her hand to signal Concubine Li to get up.
"Concubine Li is indeed as her name suggests, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. How dare I blame you?"
Concubine Li was not annoyed, she slowly sat down in her seat and retorted: "Queen, please don't misunderstand me, the concubine's posthumous title was given by the emperor because the emperor felt that the concubine's appearance was beautiful."
The queen was extremely angry, so she snorted coldly: "Concubine Li takes Jiangzhong Palace seriously. From now on, she will be the first to come to Fengluan Palace every day to pay her respects. She will not miss her every day."
Concubine Li was not afraid either. She touched her newly pregnant belly and said, "I'm fine if I'm tired. I'm afraid it will be bad if I tire out the dragon fetus in my belly."
The queen's eyes were so terrifying that she could devour people immediately, and the concubines were also surprised that Concubine Li was pregnant.
"So what if you have a dragon fetus? If you don't take the rules of your ancestors seriously, you will still be punished."
At noon, Concubine Li invited the emperor to the palace on the pretext of feeling unwell, and complained for a long time. The emperor found out that Concubine Li was pregnant, and his heart went to Concubine Li.
When he learned that the queen had punished Concubine Li to go to Fengluan Hall every day to pay her respects, she became furious and ordered the steward around her to pass on the order: "The queen is unethical and will be grounded today."
As soon as the emperor's decree came out, the concubines in the harem had new ideas.
The Queen's front legs were banned, and Concubine Li's Qingli Palace became lively.
"Don't you know, if you brought the ginseng here, you want to harm Empress Li Fei, or you really care about her."
"Sister, let me tell you, the most important thing during this pregnancy is to be in a good mood. I usually have nothing to do, so I can relieve my sister's boredom."
The concubines tried their best to support Concubine Li as their ancestor.
Qingli Palace has never been so lively as it is now, and there is no quiet time from morning to night.
Concubine Li remembered that the Queen liked this group of people to flatter her the most, so she didn't feel annoyed. Anyway, she was very annoyed.
There seemed to be a swarm of flies in my ears, chirping all day long.
Concubine Li was impatient and directly ordered the eldest palace maid: "From tomorrow onwards, I will not see any guests in Qingli Palace. If anyone dares not to listen, you can say that I am not feeling well and disturbed the dragon species. Let's see who can take the responsibility."
"
The fragrance of spring should fall.
At this point, Qingli Palace has returned to its former tranquility.
However, what Li Fei didn't know was that those people were not happy because she was so favored, and they were even more angry when they saw her being so arrogant.
It's just that my belly is a bit full and I'm pregnant. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, so I just took Qiao.
If I really gave birth to a prince, it would be great.
"Bah, what's there to be proud of? Isn't it just temporary pampering? Whether it can be born is still a question." The one who spoke was Concubine Rong, who usually had a more aggressive personality.
Her face was full of jealousy and resentment, and she stared at the closed door of Qingli Palace, feeling quite unhappy in her heart.
The maid next to her hurriedly whispered: "My queen, be careful what you say, be careful not to be overheard."
Concubine Rong said impatiently: "I heard it when I heard it. She is so arrogant because of her favor. Why don't you let others talk about it? Is there anyone in this palace who hasn't been favored by her yet?"
There were many people who had the same complaints as Concubine Rong. When everyone gathered together, they found that Concubine Li was really arrogant.
"Isn't she just relying on the emperor's favor? Do you think that if the emperor knew that she was so proud of his favor, would he still support her?" someone said.
"Yes, the emperor must know that Concubine Li is different from her appearance."
So, by bringing soup to the emperor or something, these people were accusing Concubine Li openly and covertly, pretending to be pitiful, saying that they went to see Concubine Li, but in the end they were kicked out and asked the emperor to make the decision.
The emperor had also heard about the affairs of Qingli Palace. He stared at the palace maid who was speaking and said calmly: "How did I hear that Concubine Li is raising a fetus and should not see too many people, so you are not allowed to disturb her."
"Why did it come into your mouth and it turned into being kicked out, huh?"
Concubine Rong, who complained, did not expect that the emperor would say this. She was frightened and immediately knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I really just want to accompany Concubine Li."
The emperor said impatiently: "Get up, the queen has just been banned, and you are all restless. Do you have to let me send you in to keep the queen company?"
With a few words, he drove out the complainants.
With the emperor, no Concubine Rong would dare to bother Concubine Li, and no one would say anything wrong about her.
Li Fei was happy and at ease, but she felt bored after staying for a long time. She wanted to go out for a walk and find someone to talk to. There were few people in the harem that she liked.
After thinking about it, Princess Jin is the most interesting, and I feel comfortable chatting with her.
But Ye Fuxun couldn't come to her every day, because she had someone to keep the concubine out, and then let Princess Jin in. Wasn't she going to put the blame in the mouths of those people?
Then go find her yourself.
Concubine Li changed into light clothes and quietly slipped away to the East Palace.
Ye Fuxun was also very surprised when he saw her coming. He took the lead in asking her about her physical condition and then took her pulse. Li Fei said, "She is so delicate. She is not as big as a peanut."
There was a smile on his lips.
"Having said that, you should be more careful during the first three months. Your pulse is quite stable, there is nothing wrong with it."
