Chapter 205 Want a Child
Concubine Shu nodded unconsciously.
"Well, you're right."
"His Majesty has nowhere else to go. He doesn't insist on favoring the Imperial Concubine alone, he simply has no better options. I can't continue to be depressed. When I was injured before, I begged His Majesty to give me a child, and he acquiesced."
"In this case, I should hurry up and get pregnant with His Majesty's child before the selection."
Now that there is no one in the harem, perhaps she can still fight for favor.
If there were a beauty pageant and so many beautiful women came in, I'm afraid she would be forgotten by His Majesty.
When Concubine Shu realized this, she began to dress up, made some nourishing soup intentionally or unintentionally, and went to the imperial study to visit Qin Feiling.
Qin Feiling dealt with her several times due to his busy government affairs.
Concubine Shu was extremely depressed.
She clenched her fists and made a secret decision: "No, I can't let His Majesty give me a hard time anymore... I must have a child now. Otherwise... I will have no chance later."
"Yan'er, can you help me think of a way to successfully sleep with you?"
She turned her head to look at Yan'er.
Yan'er's eyes flickered. She leaned close to Concubine Shu's ear and whispered softly, "Your Majesty...why not use some tricks?"
Concubine Shu subconsciously wanted to refuse. She frowned and said, "No, His Majesty hates those who use underhanded tactics to attack... I cannot take the risk and incur His Majesty's dislike."
Although she wanted favor, she also didn't want to disappoint His Majesty.
His Majesty is now kind to her. She has finally managed to get His Majesty to change his opinion of her a little. She will never do anything stupid again.
Yan'er lowered her eyes with a flickering look.
"I'm sorry for being nosy... But, His Majesty clearly doesn't want to give you a child. If you don't do this, how can you expect your majesty to succeed?"
Concubine Shu's eyes turned red with dismay.
"Your Majesty is truly cruel... No, today, I must seduce Your Majesty no matter what..."
She immediately chose a slim and beautiful dress, dressed exquisitely and took Yan'er to the imperial study.
Qin Feiling was reviewing memorials when he suddenly remembered that Zhou Lingge's birthday seemed to be in ten days.
He put down the brush and turned to look at Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu was immediately startled and quickly approached with a smile: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Qin Feiling's eyes were filled with smiles: "What did the imperial concubine do in Yuanchen Palace today?"
He picked up a cup of tea and sipped it.
Eunuch Liu's eyes turned. He had already sent someone to inquire about the imperial concubine's schedule for the day.
He almost knew it by heart: "Your Majesty, after the imperial concubine got up, she drank half a bowl of blood swallows and ate two small meat buns..."
"After finishing her breakfast, Her Majesty took a stroll around the courtyard of Yuanchen Palace... Then, Her Majesty leaned back on a lounge chair to bask in the sun, ate half a cake, and drank a few sips of scented tea."
Qin Feiling was extremely satisfied with Eunuch Liu's efficiency. "Well, it's amazing that you can find out so much detail."
Eunuch Liu grinned and said, "How could a servant not care about something that the master cares about?"
Qin Feiling remembered that there didn't seem to be anything special or beautiful in the courtyard of Yuanchen Palace, so he asked Eunuch Liu to decorate Yuanchen Palace, get some exquisite and beautiful potted plants, or build a fish pond... and put some beautiful and precious fish in it.
Eunuch Liu wrote down all the instructions and said that he would do it beautifully to satisfy His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.
Qin Feiling curled his lips and curved his eyebrows, and he had some idea of the birthday gift he wanted to give to the imperial concubine.
He had to prepare this gift himself to show his sincerity.
He certainly couldn't let anyone else do it.
Qin Feiling no longer had the heart to deal with government affairs.
He began to paint with his brush when suddenly a palace attendant came from outside to announce, "Your Majesty, the Consort Shu is here and is waiting outside."
Qin Feiling's movements suddenly froze, and he held his forehead with a headache.
He put the drawing paper back and picked up the memorial to open it.
"Tell Concubine Shu that I'm still busy. I'll go see her when I'm free..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Concubine Shu pushed away the palace maid who was trying to stop her and walked in from outside with red eyes.
She covered her stomach and knelt in front of Qin Feiling with a look of grievance on her face.
"Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. It seems that the wound has split open..."
"I just want to accompany Your Majesty. Why does Your Majesty have to keep me at a distance?"
Qin Feiling smiled helplessly: "I am indeed very busy, and I am not being perfunctory with you. Don't you see that the memorials here are almost piling up like a mountain?"
Eunuch Liu was standing nearby and couldn't help but twitch his lips. As far as he knew, those memorials were all ones he had just reviewed and mixed up together just to create a false impression and appease Concubine Shu.
But today's Concubine Shu doesn't seem as easy to deal with as before.
Her eyes were red, and her face was full of grievance, and she was about to cry: "In fact, I know that Your Majesty has long been disgusted with me, so you always refuse me on the grounds that you are busy with government affairs."
"Your Majesty, I really don't ask for much. I just want a child with Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty really unable to fulfill such a simple wish? Before, when I was injured, I begged Your Majesty for a child, and Your Majesty acquiesced."
"The emperor's words are as good as gold. Your Majesty, you must not break your promise. Otherwise, I will inform my brother about this matter."
As she spoke, she sobbed softly and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Those who didn't know the inside story thought Qin Feiling had done something to hurt her.
Qin Feiling suddenly felt overwhelmed.
But he was also in the wrong, and for a moment he didn't know how to appease Concubine Shu.
Shufei blocked the knife for him, and he was grateful to her and felt indebted to her.
He naturally couldn't do that, so he scolded her coldly.
Qin Feiling had no choice but to appease Concubine Shu while frequently winking at Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu was stunned and didn't understand what His Majesty meant at first.
Later, he finally understood.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly left the imperial study and walked quickly towards Yuanchen Palace.
Zhou Lingge was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun. She was drowsy and almost falling asleep.
Suddenly, Eunuch Liu ran in from outside.
"Oh, Your Majesty, help me! Your Majesty has been trapped by the Concubine Shu. Your Majesty, please find a way to help your Majesty escape."
He fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
Zhou Lingge was startled. She frowned and opened her eyes, her eyes full of displeasure.
"Eunuch Liu... you're so startled that you frightened me."
Eunuch Liu slapped himself on the mouth several times and apologized to Zhou Lingge repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just a little anxious. Your Majesty is now being pestered by Concubine Shu. I really have no choice but to seek the help of Concubine Gui."
