Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 213 Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet

Zhang Yuyan looked at Li Shiwen's belly, smiled faintly and nodded.

"This little guy is really sensible. It's good that he doesn't make a fuss. Have you prepared everything for his sister's birth?"

Li Shiwen nodded and first glanced at Xie Yu and the concubines who were toasting each other above.

Then, she whispered, "Sister Yan, please forgive me for my concern. I have already made preparations for the birth. Two days ago, the Queen Mother wrote to me and told me many details about the birth. I am willing to pay attention to them one by one. The Queen Mother specially asked Doctor Wu to watch over me, which made me feel much more at ease."

Zhang Yuyan nodded slightly, knowing that Li Shiwen was about to give birth and must be worried and anxious.

From the time she became pregnant until now, she had lost count of how many times she had been diagnosed with problems with her diet, and she had been safe until now.

But the most difficult time is always the day of delivery. The chaos and confusion gives that person a good opportunity to take action, and that is the real difficulty.

Zhang Yuyan comforted Li Shiwen with a few words.

"Sister, on the day of delivery, you must ask the palace maids to come to Jinghe Palace to find me. I can also stay with you to prevent you from being taken advantage of by others. It will also give you peace of mind. I will stay with you until you give birth safely."

Li Shiwen was moved and she sighed softly

"Having you, Queen, is my blessing. I will be very careful and attentive to give birth to this child safely and protect him until he grows up safely."

Zhang Yuyan said, "Sister, relax, I am looking forward to this day."

Li Shiwen glanced at Xie Yu on the platform again, then retracted his gaze and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Look, the Empress has been away from the palace for more than four months. In the first two months, the Emperor was still thinking about her, but recently, he has been pampering Concubine Shu and Concubine Jin, listening to music and watching dance. It's very fresh. A few days ago, the Emperor said in front of me that he missed the Empress. To be honest, I really think it's a joke."

Zhang Yuyan also glanced at Xie Yu, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

She said, "Sister, the Queen has you, and I treat you sincerely. The Emperor can favor whoever he wants. There are so many troubles and disputes in the harem, and it may not be a bad thing for the Queen to leave the palace."

Li Shiwen sighed

"Who does the emperor favor? It really doesn't matter, but I'm worried that if the queen comes back after Concubine Xi gives birth, the emperor might..."

Zhang Yuyan paused.

"Sister, I understand your concern, but I believe that the Queen will have her own arrangements even in the palace, so just rest assured, sister."

The two were talking in low voices, and Chen Xier's eyes fell on them grimly.

Especially on Li Shiwen's belly, his eyes were full of jealousy that could not be hidden.

why?

Also when she was pregnant, in order to keep the baby, she drank the bitter and difficult to swallow pregnancy-preserving medicine every day, and the fetus in her belly was also thin.

The imperial physician forbad her to even move, and made her stay in bed to take care of the pregnancy, making herself look like a ghost.

But Li Shiwen's stomach and complexion were obviously good.

It must be that the baby in Li Shiwen's belly interfered with the baby in her belly.

Thinking of this, Chen Xier's eyes darkened. Her child was the most noble, and no one could snatch her child's honor and favor.

Not only Chen Xier, but Sun Manrou also kept her eyes on the two of them, trying to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

She covered her handkerchief and chuckled, "Your Majesty, look, what are Sister Lan Guiji and Sister Yan saying? Is it something we can't listen to?"

Xie Yu looked at the two of them, and Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen sat up slightly.

Zhang Yuyan smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Queen Concubine Chen? What can Concubine Lan and I say? It's just a few idle words. Queen Concubine Chen is paying attention to the concubines."

The concubines stopped talking and the banquet fell silent.

These days, everyone knows Zhang Yuyan's character. She never suffers any loss and has a sharp tongue, which is nothing like her quiet and weak appearance.

Zheng Jin glanced at Zhang Yuyan. These high-ranking girls from aristocratic families were no more than this.

Then, she lowered her head. She was a famous prostitute in a brothel. She was murdered and came back to life. She took over Zheng Jin's body and became the emperor's woman.

However, with her abilities, she would win the emperor's heart one day.

She is the real favorite concubine in the future, and will be even more glorious than the former Concubine Xi.

Qin Shushu has already stood on Sun Manrou's side, and she is also very proud because of Xie Yu's favor.

She was even more dissatisfied with why Zhang Yuyan became Zhaoyi just like that, as she had the highest rank among all the concubines in this year's show.

Obviously, she was the one favored by the emperor, but her position was so much lower than Zhang Yuyan? It was just because of Zhang Yuyan's good family background!

Qin Shushu said, "Your Majesty, that's right. Sister Lan Guiji and Sister Yan Zhaoyi really have a deep relationship. It's fine if they don't tell us sisters, but can't Your Majesty hear it?"

Li Shiwen smiled and said, "Empress Chen, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yan and I chatted casually. It's a Mid-Autumn family dinner, so it's inevitable that I feel homesick. I talked about some interesting things when I was at home, but I won't tell you about it to avoid making the emperor and the sisters laugh."

Now that we have come to this, if we continue to ask questions, it would seem aggressive.

Sun Manrou and Qin Shushu stopped there and didn't bother themselves any more.

Xie Yu sat on a high platform with no one around him. He looked at the concubines below the stage, who were talking to each other. His deep eyes were dark and tinged with frost.

He picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips without saying a word, as if he was watching a good show.

After all, he didn't care about the disputes among the concubines at all.

At this moment, he inexplicably thought of Jun'er who was far away in the palace. If Jun'er were there, it would probably be a different feeling.

Although he favored the women in the harem, whether new or old, there was something missing. He couldn't explain why.

Chen Mi raised his eyes to look at Xie Yu, then spoke to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. Sisters, would you like to raise your glasses and toast to Your Majesty?"

The voice just fell

Chen Xier felt a little pain in her stomach. Now was the time for her to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang.

The pregnancy-preserving medicine tastes bad. If she drinks it here, it might arouse suspicion, so she doesn't dare to do so.

Next second

Zi Shuang stepped forward and helped Chen Xier up, and Chen Xier faced Xie Yu.

"Your Majesty, I am a little tired, so I will go back to the Elegant Palace first, so as not to disturb Your Majesty and my sisters."

Xie Yu's face darkened and he waved his hand, "Since you are not feeling well, go back to the palace and recuperate.

"Besides that, Xie Yu didn't show any concern at all, and his attitude was very cold.

Chen Xier's face was slightly stiff, and her hands at her sides were shaking with anger.

The emperor has completely disregarded her dignity. He has such a cruel heart and doesn't care about their past friendship at all.

Chen Xier forced herself to take her leave, and after she left, the Mid-Autumn family dinner continued.

Finally, before leaving, Xie Yu took Zheng Jin away directly, letting her get the limelight.

These past few days, Xie Yu had greatly benefited from Zheng Jin's methods in bed.
