Chapter 260 A Passionate and Domineering Emperor × A Concubine's Daughter from the Prime Minist
(Upon opening the backend, I saw that some darlings had given me generous rewards and sent me extra chapters, so all I can do is... haha, here's another chapter, my beloved concubines please check it out.)
The Imperial Concubine is pregnant, and the Phoenix Palace is filled with joy. The Emperor orders a grand reward, and everyone in the palace is beaming with happiness.
Chu Yue hadn't woken up yet; she had slept all afternoon, and the emperor had stayed by her side the whole time.
As darkness fell and candles were lit in the hall, Chu Yue finally woke up with a soft moan.
"My beloved concubine, you're awake." When the emperor saw her move, he immediately moved to the head of the bed to help her sit up, letting Chu Yue lean against him.
Chu Yue was still a little dazed, her voice hoarse: "Your Majesty..."
"My beloved concubine, are you still feeling unwell? You fainted." The emperor held her close, lifted her small face with one hand, and pecked her cheek with kisses.
Chu Yue relied on and enjoyed the emperor's tenderness: "Your Majesty, I am so useless, I have made Your Majesty worry."
"My beloved concubine, you are pregnant. You fainted because you were upset about the baby."
The emperor couldn't stop smiling.
"Your Majesty...I'm pregnant?" Chu Yue was stunned and couldn't believe it.
The emperor gently placed his hand on her lower abdomen: "I am carrying your child."
"Really? I am pregnant with Your Majesty's child?" Tears welled up in Chu Yue's eyes.
"Don't be silly. Having a son is a happy thing. Don't cry."
"Your Majesty... I'm just too happy..." Chu Yue sobbed and quickly wiped away her tears: "Your Majesty, I won't cry anymore."
"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?" The emperor gently kissed the corner of her reddened eyes.
Chu Yue said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I want to eat. You must take good care of our son."
"You," the emperor chuckled indulgently, and picked her up.
He knew how much the Imperial Concubine longed to have his child, and how she often worried about his weak health after entering the palace.
The emperor didn't need to urge her to drink the tonics; the imperial concubine would obediently drink them on her own. After each time she received imperial favor, she would wait a long time before taking a bath. The emperor noticed all of this.
He never put any pressure on her, even though the emperor himself hoped to have a son with the imperial concubine.
Now that we have a concubine, it's truly a joyous occasion.
The imperial physician said that the imperial concubine had miscarried, so the emperor was extremely careful, holding her tightly and feeding her his meals and water himself.
"Come, drink the ginseng soup first." The emperor gently blew on it and fed it to her lips.
Chu Yue opened her mouth and drank it down, obediently following orders.
"Slower……"
The emperor served him with such meticulous care that the palace servants had to step aside.
As she lay in bed that night, Chu Yue asked, "Your Majesty, do I really have a son?"
The emperor was already holding Chu Yue, trying to lull her to sleep. Just as he was about to drift off, he heard the imperial concubine asking a question. He forced his eyes open and replied, "Of course it's true."
"Why can't I touch it?"
emperor:"……"
"My beloved consort, the prince is still young. He will be able to touch it in a few days. Go to sleep now, the prince needs to rest."
The emperor pulled her into his arms, protecting her belly.
"His Majesty……"
"Go to sleep."
"Oh……"
When news of the events at Fengluan Palace reached Xiu'an Palace, the Empress Dowager's cloudy eyes snapped open, and she angrily rebuked the Empress for her lack of decorum and the Consort for her audacity.
If the Empress hadn't been injured, she would have definitely sent someone to give her a dressing down.
He then sent someone to summon the Imperial Concubine for questioning, but Jinshu was yelled at by the Emperor and sent back.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she had a headache. If she ignored them, they would turn the palace upside down.
With the emperor so devoted to protecting his concubine, how could the other concubines possibly live in harmony?
"Your Majesty, the Empress has been confined to her quarters, and Consort Zhen is temporarily managing the affairs of the inner palace, but the Phoenix Seal has been sent to the Phoenix Palace."
Jinshu said in a low voice.
"I knew the Emperor only protected the Consort. If he cared even a little about the Empress, how could things have turned out like this?"
The Empress Dowager was extremely worried.
When the Empress Dowager went to summon Consort Jinshu again, the Emperor was furious and dismissed her with the words, "Consort Jinshu is pregnant and should not travel."
When Jinshu returned and told the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was still somewhat incredulous: "The Imperial Concubine is pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty said it himself."
"This..." The Empress Dowager didn't know how to describe her feelings. One second she was still blaming the Consort, and the next she learned that she was pregnant with the Emperor's child.
"Quickly, quickly, send that Guanyin statue that grants children to the Phoenix Palace, and send all the brocade and other things there. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant, and nothing can be missing."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jinshu was also happy; with the Imperial Concubine pregnant, the Empress Dowager would have a grandson to hold.
"Let's go, let's go together." The Empress Dowager's steps were slightly unsteady due to her excitement, and she could only walk steadily with Jinshu's support.
Chu Yue was a little scared when she saw the Empress Dowager laughing so hard she couldn't open her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness. I know you are pregnant. I brought you gifts. Take good care of my grandson, and I will reward you handsomely."
The Empress Dowager seemed to already see her chubby grandson in her arms.
"Your Majesty, I will be careful and attentive..."
"Alright, alright, I'll be going now. I'll come to see you again in a few days. Take good care of yourself."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off..."
The emperor wasn't there at the moment, and if he were, he probably wouldn't have paid any attention to the empress dowager. So the empress dowager simply left to avoid any awkwardness between the mother and son.
"My dear consort, why are you standing in the wind?" Chu Yue had just seen the Empress Dowager off and hadn't even returned from the palace gate when the Emperor arrived.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see when you will arrive," Chu Yue said softly.
The emperor looked at the extra items in the hall and then at Chu Yue: "Where did these come from?"
"Your Majesty, this was sent by the Empress Dowager. She instructed me to take good care of it." The Empress Dowager really went to great lengths to send such a large Guanyin statue that symbolizes fertility.
"Guards, take them all away." The emperor led Chu Yue inside, saying, "Since they've been delivered, accept them. They're all yours from now on."
"Alright, Your Majesty's will." Chu Yue agreed.
"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" the emperor began to ask daily.
"No, I just want to eat something..." Chu Yue felt hungry again, having just eaten.
The emperor, of course, hoped that she could eat, and immediately ordered outside, "Someone, bring the meal."
"My beloved concubine, I will take you to have a meal."
"it is good……"
The Empress Dowager sent gifts to Fengluan Palace in a grand manner, and Chu Yue's pregnant smile could no longer be concealed.
The Imperial Concubine of Fengluan Palace is pregnant!
Consort Zhen was familiarizing herself with the affairs of the inner palace when she heard the news. Her expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn't it?
The others simply pretended not to hear.
The Empress went berserk, smashing and throwing things around in the palace. Before she could bring down Chu Yue, she was pregnant again.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. You still have injuries on your face."
Jasmine stopped her, her heart aching.
Speaking of the facial injury, the Empress became even more furious. Although the scar was fading slowly, she didn't know how long it would take, and wondered if it would really leave a permanent scar.
"I will absolutely not let her go. Go and send a message to Mother..."
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has placed me under house arrest, and I... cannot go out."
"Useless things? Then go and find a way!" the Empress said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes, this servant will go right away."
"Go down."
"This servant takes her leave..."
