Chapter 158: Concubine Hua takes a conciliatory approach

Up and down skylight——

There were only two people in the room at the moment. Luo Yao was sitting on the couch, and Yongzheng was carefully stroking her belly with his hand.

Luo Yao found it a little funny to see how cautious he was.

"It's only been a few months, the child hasn't grown up yet."

It's only been three months, but her waist is still slim and there is no sign of bulging.

This is also the main reason why a certain emperor did not discover it despite stroking and observing it day and night.

Yongzheng sat up straight and said with a sigh:

"I didn't expect Qingqing to give me such a big surprise today. She's actually three months pregnant with twins!"

Hearing him say this, if it weren't for the fact that his happy expression didn't seem fake, Luo Yao would have thought he was playing tricks on her.

She was so good at hiding her yin and yang that it wasn't revealed until three months later.

She just casually explained:

"Yes, I didn't expect that. After all, I had my period as usual in the past two months."

The menstrual status of concubines in the harem must be reported every month, and the used menstrual belts also need to be checked.

This is also a means for the queen to monitor whether her subordinates are pregnant.

Yongzheng didn't care about these things. The only thing on his mind was happiness.

If he wasn't worried about hurting her, he would have wanted to pick her up and spin her around a few times.

"Qingqing must be the lucky star sent by God to save me. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Luo Yao chuckled.

"Your Majesty has already promoted me, what other rewards do you want?"

Yongzheng shook his head, "You deserve this position, and so do these rewards."

"Then I'll listen to the emperor. I'll like any reward you give me."

Luo Yao had a gentle look on her face, and her cold temperament seemed to have softened a lot because of her pregnancy.

Anyway, if she doesn’t like it, she can choose it herself from the private warehouse when her son becomes emperor!

As Luo Yao thought about this, the smile on her face became even brighter.

Yongzheng didn't know that his concubine had always believed that it was better to rely on herself than on others, and that she was just pretending to be so obedient.

The two of them were flirting with each other in the room.

The scene turns to today's first birthday party.

The banquet, which was originally scheduled to last for quite some time, has now ended.

The whole banquet went smoothly just at the beginning.

Later, after Cao Qinmo proposed the drawing lots performance, the plot got out of control like a wild horse running wild.

After Prince Dun left, Prince Heng also said goodbye, and then they all dispersed as they walked.

On the way back to Hua Fei's Qingliang Palace, Cao Qinmo kept her head down and said nothing.

Concubine Hua was angry at Cao Qinmo's incompetence.

Not only did she not embarrass Huanbi and Zhen Huan, but she also gave them the opportunity to reveal the fact that she was pregnant.

Instead, she was promoted to a higher level.

How can this be justified?

In fact, the resentment in Cao Qinmo's heart was even greater than that of Concubine Hua.

She hated Concubine Chen for ruining her daughter's first birthday party, and she also hated Concubine Hua for constantly urging her to get rid of her.

If it weren't for Concubine Hua's relentless pressure, would she have had nothing better to do than target the Emperor's favorite concubine?

I guess after today, the emperor will dislike her even more, right?

Cao Qinmo followed Concubine Hua's sedan chair closely, her heart filled with bitterness.

What else could she do? Without the emperor's favor, she could only depend on Concubine Hua.

Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance to raise your child yourself!

And now that the emperor hates her even more, she has to rely more on Concubine Hua.

Without Concubine Hua's protection, she would have to deal with the servants in the Imperial Household Department who were always trying to please people.

So when the two returned to Qingliang Palace, Cao Qinmo knelt as soon as he entered the door.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me!"

Cao Qinmo fell heavily to his knees, his knees making a dull sound as they touched the ground.

Hua Fei hadn't even sat down yet when she turned around to see her think tank and only subordinate kneeling down to apologize.

After Cao Qinmo took the initiative, her original anger was calmed down a lot.

After all, to be fair, it's not her fault, right?

Who would have thought that the bitch Huanbi was already pregnant, and it’s been three months!

Three months! This means she was pregnant when she first started sleeping with him.

What a lucky life.

When she thought of her children, Nian Shilan lost interest and waved her hand.

"Get up, it's not your fault."

Cao Qinmo breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that Concubine Hua would be so easy to talk to today.

She stood up and Songzhi beside her brought her a stool.

This even made her feel flattered.

It is because Hua Fei's usual violent image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

She was not used to the sudden gentleness.

Thinking about proving his own value quickly, Cao Qinmo took the initiative to say:

"Your Majesty, today the news of the Concubine Chen's pregnancy was revealed. It was obviously planned for a long time. Why don't we..."

She meant to take advantage of the opportunity. As long as there was a miscarriage, her position would definitely be unstable.

Getting pregnant is not a skill; giving birth to a baby and raising it is.

Nian Shilan was silent for a moment, and unexpectedly refused by Cao Qinmo.

"No, the matter against her today has already made the emperor unhappy. It is better to be quiet than to move. Let's wait for a while."

It wasn't that she wanted to let the other party go, but the two remarks made by the Emperor today regarding Prince Dun made her feel uneasy.

Moreover, when a concubine in the harem became pregnant, she was not the one who was most anxious.

But it’s the Queen above!

So even if she doesn't take action, Concubine Chen can't expect to live in peace.

Nian Shilan was thinking this, when she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye that Cao Qinmo seemed to be relieved.

I was a little amused. Is she so happy that we don’t have to target Concubine Chen?

That's true, after all, she had never gained any benefits from the other party.

Hua Fei calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. She seemed to be much smarter today and said calmly:

"After what happened today, I'm sure the Emperor will further weaken the power in my palace."

"Now that the Queen doesn't want to be in charge, some of the power in the palace has fallen into the hands of Shen Meizhuang. People in the harem are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation, and even the quality of the tea has been downgraded."

She changed the subject so quickly that Cao Qinmo was unable to react for a moment.

"But you still have to take care of Wen Yi, so you can't be short of food, clothing, housing and transportation. I'll ask Songzhi to get you some banknotes later, and you can leave now."

Concubine Hua changed her previous tough and aggressive attitude.

Instead, he took a conciliatory approach.

Cao Qinmo walked out in a daze holding a stack of banknotes.

Songzhi, who came to see her off, had a kind face and said that Princess Wen Yi didn't need anything and asked her to come to Qingliang Palace.

It was not until Cao Qinmo was halfway there that she figured out what Concubine Hua meant.

She said that the palace power in her hands was divided, so who suffered the biggest loss?

Behind Concubine Hua stands the Nian family. With such a large family and wealth, she can still live a carefree life even without the power in the palace.

But what about her?

If Concubine Hua falls, the one who will suffer the most is her lackey!

Cao Qinmo suddenly understood that Concubine Hua’s meaning was very clear. All these calculations you made were not for me, but for yourself.

For your Wen Yi!

It's just like this sentence: You are not studying for me, so it's up to you to study or not.

But can Cao Qinmo not learn?
