Chapter 52, Invitation for Favor
Chapter 52, Invitation for Favor (Part )
"To answer your Majesty, Lady Shu is indeed suffering from a chronic illness, and -"
In Kunning Palace, when the black and white pieces were fighting on the chessboard, Aunt Ginkgo, who had returned from Fanghua Palace, stood quietly beside Queen Ye.
As she bowed slightly, Queen Ye picked up a black chess piece from the chess jar.
pat!
The sunlight came through the window. When Queen Ye placed the black piece on the chessboard, cutting off the chance of survival for the white piece held by Concubine Liang, her calm voice slowly rang out as Concubine Liang frowned and pondered over a way out.
"What's wrong? You can say it."
"Your Majesty, it's because Lady Shu is in very poor health."
Thinking of Imperial Physician Kang's diagnosis and treatment results, Aunt Ginkgo couldn't help but shake her head with regret.
"Imperial Doctor Kang and this servant have explained that Lady Shu is deficient in both Qi and blood, her pulse is thin and weak, her uterus is cold and it is difficult for her to conceive. This indicates that she is born weak and prone to illness."
After placing the white piece in her hand on the path to survival she had found, Concubine Liang looked at Aunt Ginkgo with a calm expression.
"It's not difficult to get pregnant, but it doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. You look so regretful, is there any other hidden reason?"
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Madam Liang Fei."
Aunt Ginkgo said this with a smile as she poured tea and water for Empress Ye and Concubine Liang.
"Imperial Physician Kang said that the womb of this noble lady Shu is like a cold pond, which makes it difficult to nourish the fetus. Even if she becomes pregnant, it will be difficult to hold the fetus because of her insufficient kidney energy."
In short, Concubine Shu cannot keep the child, and even if she gets pregnant accidentally, she will have a miscarriage.
After Aunt Ginkgo finished speaking, except for the occasional sound of chess pieces falling on the board, this solemn and dignified Kunning Palace returned to its former silence amid the floating sound of burning incense.
Time passes slowly.
When Aunt Ginkgo thought that Empress Ye was no longer concerned about Concubine Shu's affairs, the silence of Kunning Palace was broken by her voice with a hint of smile.
"If Sister Liangfei can't find a way out of this siege, I will win this game today."
Aunt Ginkgo glanced at the chessboard inconspicuously, and saw that the black pieces held by Queen Ye were like a tide, surrounding the white pieces held by Concubine Liang. No matter how she rushed left and right, she could not break through the encirclement of the black pieces.
It was not until then that Empress Ye picked up the cup from the table. She looked at Concubine Liang who was still looking for a way to break through, and leisurely took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup.
"Sister Liang Fei, do you want to admit defeat?"
In this game, no matter how Concubine Liang plays, she will be slaughtered by the black pieces.
Concubine Liang stroked the white piece in her hand. She tried every way but could not find a way to break the deadlock. After hearing Queen Ye's teasing, she finally recognized the situation and put the piece back into the chess pot.
"Your Majesty is an excellent chess player. I am ashamed to be inferior to you."
"Among all the harem, you are the only one who can focus on every game of chess with me. There are still many days to come. I have a chess manual here for you to study carefully when you go back. I look forward to the day when I play chess with you next time."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I also look forward to playing chess with you next time."
Under Concubine Liang's calm and expectant gaze, Empress Ye's round and rosy face revealed a look of compassion for the world.
"It's a bit lonely to be in this palace without a child. Can Kang Zhi tell me if Concubine Shu will have a chance to recover?"
Queen Ye suddenly mentioned Shen Qingtang. Aunt Ginkgo was surprised for a moment and then shook her head thoughtfully.
"It's very difficult. Even if you are lucky enough to make it to the day of delivery, you will still face the danger of dystocia."
"Is that so?"
Queen Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Concubine Liang.
"Noble Lady Shu is respectful and gentle. It would be a pity if she didn't have the chance to be a mother. What do you think, Concubine Liang?"
...No matter what Concubine Liang thought, when Shen Qingtang presented the Emperor Yu Ji with iced white fungus soup, she thought that he was the only one in her world the first time she saw him.
If you love someone, you should say it boldly.
To love, you must be brave enough to do it.
Regardless of the fact that there were other people in the hall, Shen Qingtang's eyes were free and her body was light and nimble, and she quickly threw herself into the arms of Emperor Yu Ji like a nimble and cunning cat.
"Your Majesty, Tang'er has brought you some Tremella soup. It's hot in summer, and this Tremella soup tastes even better when chilled. Would you like to try it now?"
As soon as Shen Qingtang raised her head in Emperor Yu Ji's arms, her slender waist that could be held in one hand was tightly held in someone's arms.
Her ears felt warm, and the man's voice, so pleasant that it almost made her legs weak, slowly entered her ears over her trembling earlobes.
"My beloved concubine is so enthusiastic and proactive today that I am a little overwhelmed. However, I have a question. I wonder if my beloved concubine can answer one or two questions for me?"
Emperor Yu Ji's thin lips swept across the delicate and fair earlobe. The delicate touch of his lips made his deep and narrow phoenix eyes darker.
Her appearance is as quiet as a flower, and her skin is as tender as jade and fragrant.
His concubine Shu is truly a peerless beauty. Even though I was tempted by her beauty for a moment, it is also a man's nature.
"My beloved concubine, if you can satisfy me, I can grant you one request."
His warm breath brushed past his ears, and Shen Qingtang's legs and feet softened somewhat.
Lying in the arms of Emperor Yuji, the tips of her ears trembled again and again, "I'm afraid Tang'er is ignorant and can't satisfy you."
As soon as Shen Qingtang finished speaking, he felt Emperor Yu Ji's chest shaking slightly.
He was laughing, and his laughter was so meaningful that it made her feel so embarrassed.
"I am curious, which one is more delicious, my beautiful concubine or my iced Tremella soup?"
hum!
Shen Qingtang's pretty face flushed red, and her clear eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of spring water, which made people feel moved just by looking at her.
"Why don't you try this bowl of iced Tremella soup first? In the evening..." Shen Qingtang stood on tiptoe and invited Emperor Yuji passionately in his ear: "Come to Fanghua Palace again and taste Tang'er's delicious dish."
"Your Majesty, can you tell Tang'er the answer then?"
As she spoke, Shen Qingtang imitated Emperor Yu Ji's movements and gently touched his earlobe with her soft lips on his increasingly hardened body.
"Last night, Tang'er not only failed to serve the emperor well, but also made you tired to take care of Tang'er, a little drunkard. Tang'er feels very guilty. I wonder if you can give Tang'er a chance to make it up tonight?"
As soon as Shen Qingtang finished speaking, someone began to shake like a sieve on the ground.
Emperor Yuji saw clearly that after his noble lady Shu entered the palace, his "father-in-law" was so excited that he almost suffocated.
Now, his eyes are as big as copper bells.
but--
Emperor Yu Ji lowered his eyes slightly, he found that his noble lady Shu was extremely hot and bold today!
In front of the 'father-in-law', with his daughter...
Bang!
Just as an indescribable sense of excitement was rising in Emperor Yu Ji's heart, his 'father-in-law' Shen Huaian, who had been kneeling on the ground, could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
He fell alone.
Not only did Emperor Yu Ji come back to his senses instantly, but even Shen Qingtang was petrified in Emperor Yu Ji's arms.
“F-Father?!”
