Chapter 213 Consort Fucha
Chapter 213 Consort Fucha
Zhen Huan patted her hand and comforted her:
"Yu Rao, don't be impatient."
Let's take it slow. As long as we are patient, the time will come eventually.
Actually, we don't necessarily have to force them to lose their lives.
Making them lose their offspring and damage their health is also a good option.
Like my son Hongli, he lost his ability to have children long ago.
Fu Yurao nodded, "Sister is right."
Ever since Fu Yurao became his concubine, Da Pangju's affection for her has only grown stronger day by day.
He not only frequently summoned her to his bedchamber, but also bestowed upon her many precious jewels, ornaments, and fine silks.
Meanwhile, Consort Su, who lived in Yanxi Palace with Fu Yurao, was unknowingly forgotten by the chubby orange.
At first, Consort Su was actually quite anxious. After all, in the inner palace...
If you don't win the emperor's favor, life will really be tough.
But when I think of Fu Yurao's stunningly beautiful face...
Su Miaohe's ambition was extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water.
She knew very well that no matter how hard she tried, she could never compare to Consort Zhao.
Whether in appearance or talent, I am far inferior to them.
Moreover, Su Changzai's father was merely a minor official of insignificant importance.
They were utterly incapable of providing any substantial assistance to her life in the palace.
Fortunately, the allowance for someone in this position was quite good, although not as much as that for Fu Yu Rao.
But it was enough for her to barely survive in the deep palace of the Forbidden City.
What pleased Consort Su even more was her arrival in the palace and her first time serving the emperor.
The two empresses and the concubines of the various palaces all bestowed gifts upon her.
Perhaps these ladies had long anticipated that Consort Su's situation in the palace would be rather difficult.
Therefore, everything they bestowed upon them was a very practical item.
And so, relying on her allowance as a consort and these rewards,
They lived a relatively peaceful life in the west side hall of Yanxi Palace.
However, not long after, Su Changzai noticed something unusual about her body.
First, her period was delayed, and then she often felt nauseous and unwell.
This sudden change startled Su Changzai.
Thinking of the symptoms my mother had when she was pregnant with my younger brother
Could it be... that I'm pregnant?
Although he had such a guess in mind, Su Changzai did not dare to be sure.
After all, getting pregnant in the harem is no small matter; if she makes a mistake, it will only make her situation more difficult.
So she could only wait silently, until a month later.
When she confirmed again that her period still hadn't arrived as expected,
She could finally confirm that she was indeed pregnant! She was carrying the dragon's child.
Su Changzai was both delighted and alarmed. She was delighted that she was pregnant with the emperor's child, but alarmed that she didn't know if she could keep the baby.
She knew the dangers of the imperial harem, and how many women who became pregnant ended up with stillborn babies.
Thinking about what to do after entering the palace, she instructed her personal maid to inquire about news within the palace.
I've heard that both empresses were kind and magnanimous people.
Su Changzai felt slightly comforted.
If the pregnancy could be reported to the Empress, perhaps some protection could be obtained.
However, compared to the Empress of the Western Palace,
Su Changzai felt that the Empress of the Eastern Palace was more approachable.
So, after a whole night of deep thought, she finally made up her mind.
The next day, he went to Kunning Palace with his personal maid to request an audience with Fucha Peiyun.
When Fucha Peiyun heard Xue'er report that Su Changzai of Yanxi Palace was requesting an audience,
She was initially puzzled, but quickly understood the purpose of Su Changzai's visit.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
She thought to herself, "This Consort Su is quite a clever person."
Fucha Peiyun immediately instructed, "Let her in."
After entering the inner hall, Su Changzai became increasingly nervous.
She took a deep breath, then slowly knelt on the ground and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"This concubine, Su Miaohe, greets Your Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
Fucha Peiyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
She waved her hand gently, signaling Su Changzai to get up.
"Rise, Consort Su. Why are you suddenly requesting an audience with me?"
Is there anything you wish to say to me?
Or perhaps some ignorant servant has slighted you?
Fucha Peiyun's voice was soft and melodious, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Upon hearing this, Su Miaohe immediately shook her head, like a rattle-drum.
"Your Majesty, I have not neglected you. I have come today to report something important."
She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and finally mustered the courage to say:
"Your Majesty, I...I am pregnant."
A hint of surprise flashed in Fucha Peiyun's eyes at just the right moment.
She had Xue'er help Su Changzai up and asked with concern:
"This is great news! Should we summon the imperial physician to take your pulse?"
Su Miaohe shook her head again.
"This concubine dares not disturb the imperial physician rashly. I thought I would inform Your Majesty first and then make a decision."
Fucha Peiyun smiled and nodded, agreeing with Su Miaohe's caution.
"That's very good. It's a good thing that you're so careful."
"I will immediately summon people from the Imperial Hospital to examine your pulse, so that everyone can be at ease."
Having said that, she turned to Xue'er beside her and instructed her:
"Xue'er, send someone to the Imperial Hospital and ask them to send a highly skilled imperial physician over."
Xue'er replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will send someone to do it right away."
Fucha Peiyun then turned her gaze to Su Miaohe and began to ask her about her pregnancy symptoms.
Su Miaohe answered each question with humility and respect.
Soon, Wen Shichu rushed over and carefully took Su Miaohe's pulse.
Then, beaming with joy, he knelt down and said:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! Congratulations, Consort Su! Consort Su is indeed two months pregnant."
Fucha Peiyun's face was full of smiles:
"This is a great joy for the royal family, Consort Su, you can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy."
Upon hearing this, Su Miaohe was deeply moved and quickly stood up to express her gratitude:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful."
Fucha Peiyun smiled and waved her hand, then continued:
"I will report this joyous news to the Emperor. From today onwards, you will enjoy the privileges of a noble person."
If you need anything, please just send someone to inform me.
Su Miaohe kowtowed again to express her gratitude, tears welling in her eyes, and choked out:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will be careful and cautious and will never dare to be negligent in the slightest."
Fucha Peiyun nodded and gave Su Miaohe a detailed explanation of the precautions for pregnancy before letting her get up and return to the palace.
Su Miaohe slowly rose, bowed to Fucha Peiyun, and then turned and left.
Compared to the anxiety she felt when she arrived, her steps back to the palace now seemed lighter.
When Su Miaohe returned to Yanxi Palace, she was followed closely by a group of palace servants carrying rewards.
The trays carried by these palace maids were filled with all sorts of precious items.
There are gold and silver jewelry, fabrics suitable for pregnant women, and nourishing medicinal herbs.
Su Miaohe looked at the gifts and her heart was filled with gratitude.
