It was mid-July, and the sun was still dazzling, and you would sweat a few steps under the sun.

But that was a man who had to be a servant. Su Li, who was half of the dragon, was now living a life more enjoyable than the old emperor of Mingzong. When he came out of Qiuyue Palace, Mingzong asked the eunuchs to move a concubine's couch to make Su Li rest at any time. Now the imperial concubine's couch was placed in the water pavilion by the lake. The breeze was blowing, and the lotus flowers blooming in the lake were graceful and beautiful.

Su Li leaned comfortably on the couch, Xiao Anzi knelt at the end of the couch and gently pinched her legs. The palace maid Ruyi knelt between Su Li and the small table where melons and fruits were placed, and she acted as a human-shaped meal feeding machine when Su Li needed it.

The other palace people stood in the corridors of the water pavilions, far away, and only the eunuch Wei Rong, who was ordered to accompany the nobleman Lu, stood next to Su Li.

Su Li ate a few grapes and signaled that Ruyi would not need to be fed again. She asked Wei Rong: "Is there anyone in the palace who can sing music?"

Wei Rong smiled and said, "Of course there is one. Is the noble man who wants to listen to the song?"

Su Li nodded: "Just listening to music is boring enough, so arrange a few dancers."

Wei Rong sent someone to the Jiaofangsi to pick people.

Su Li wanted to learn about the recent situation in the palace, so she lay lazily and asked Wei Rong: "Father-in-law, I want to ask you something, I don't know if you will be a taboo."

Wei Rong looked at her: "What do you want to ask about the empress?"

Ruyi and Xiao Anzi are both from Wei Rong, but even if not, what Su Li wants to say next is in line with her current personality, and it doesn’t matter if it is passed on to Mingzong.

Su Li asked directly: "I am three months pregnant. Does the emperor favor other concubines? Is there any good news?"

Her tone was a bit sarcastic, like a arrogant and fond concubine. She asked this question but actually didn't want to hear a positive answer.

Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, and her gorgeous clothes and jewelry were all good things that Emperor Mingzong rewarded, and she was full of honor and favor.

Wei Rong suddenly couldn't see through this woman.

At first she proposed an alliance, and Wei Rong thought she just chose to endure humiliation to survive. In the first month, she was motionless under him, but when she was dealing with Mingzong, she could laugh and scream, making Wei Rong unable to tell what she was thinking. If the charm she showed in front of Mingzong was fake, why did she, a woman from the inner hut who had not received special training, have such superb acting skills? If her charm towards Mingzong was real, why didn't she give birth to Mingzong directly, but instead had to commit herself to him?

Wei Rong couldn't guess it thoroughly.

In the past three months after she became pregnant, she became more and more charming. The decorations of Qiuyue Palace were almost completely replaced by Mingzong, as if she really enjoyed being the emperor's noble, not just to survive.

"By the noble, everything is as usual for the emperor. Unfortunately, no good news comes from other concubines except the noble." Wei Rong whispered.

Su Li smiled. As long as other women in the harem were as unmoved as the Lingzhu showed, even if her fetus was a princess, it would at least prove that her belly was more powerful than others. For this reason, Mingzong would not neglect her all the time just because she gave birth to a daughter, and Su Li had a chance to bet again.

Of course, Su Li doesn't want to have children all the time. She is pregnant with helplessness. It is best to get a man in one go. Su Li can concentrate on fighting towards the throne of the empress dowager.

After a while, the Jiaofangsi sent the singers and dancers over.

Seeing that Wei Rong was standing there, Su Li ordered someone to give him a seat, and after all, he was also a eunuch in front of the imperial court, so he should still give this treatment.

Wei Rong thanked him and sat a few steps away from the imperial concubine's bed.

——

After a while, Wei Rong returned to Mingzong.

After handling the political affairs, Emperor Mingzong asked him casually: "What did the nobles do?"

Wei Rong told the story one by one. Mingzong was a little envious when he heard it and said with a funny look: "This nobleman Lu lives more comfortable than me."

Wei Rong smiled and said, "That is also the emperor who gave the nobles first blessings. Only nobles can be nobles rely on their sons."

Mingzong recalled the performance of Lu Guiren after entering the palace and thought that this was a smart and tactful woman who acted like a spoiled woman and invited her to be favored, but she really loved her first son. Mingzong did not like women who were too scheming, nor did he like those who were too emotional. Lu Guiren was just right, and only with sincerity could he know how to be grateful.

"Have she asked you something?" Mingzong asked again.

Wei Rong said truthfully: "The nobleman asked the emperor if these three empresses who favored other palaces... The Wei minister answered this way. The nobleman smiled, and then listened happily to the music and dance."

Mingzong also guessed that he also knew that he hoped that every woman in the harem would give birth to him soon, but those women just wanted to give birth to themselves.

Where profit is the normal human nature.

After this incident, Mingzong became more and more sure that he had thoroughly figured out the details of Lu Guiren. Although he was a little clever, he was completely in his control and could not cause much storm.

——

Three months later, Su Li's belly began to grow bigger and the weather in the capital became colder. Su Li was finally willing to stay in Qiuyue Palace to take care of her baby and never go out to wander around again.

In order to pass the time, Su Li drew a modern and popular mahjong plaque and asked the Mingzong to send someone to make it for her.

Mingzong asked her curiously how to play mahjong.

Su Li explained it to him, and Mingzong understood after listening to it a little. This mahjong is actually very similar to a popular Ye Zi brand in this dynasty, but it is more fresh and interesting to play.

Mingzong agreed to Su Li's request, and soon Su Li got the mahjong plaque granted by the emperor, with a bone-faced and bamboo back, which made her feel cool and smooth.

Su Li first invited Mingzong, Wei Rong and Doctor Li, who was specially serving her, to have fun together.

Su Li sat at the lower head of Mingzong, Wei Rong's upper head. She was a veteran. She was staring at Wei Rong tightly and rarely gave Wei Rong a chance to eat her cards. When Su Li needed anything, Su Li secretly pulled Mingzong's robe under the table and shook his eyes. Mingzong was still waiting for Su Li to give birth to a son for him, so he naturally responded to his requests. He would feed whatever Su Li wanted.

Su Li, who won the money, smiled. She didn't look like a mother at all, but she looked like a cute little girl.

Mingzong liked Su Li more and more. The elders favored smart juniors. Anyway, Su Li was his grandchild.

After playing for three games, Mingzong was about to do things. Doctor Li was not convenient to play with Su Li anymore. Su Li went out for two quarters of an hour, and after he came back, he asked Wei Rong, Xiao Anzi, and Ruyi to accompany her.

Half a month ago, Su Li woke up with a cramp and pain when she was sleeping at night. She didn't take it seriously but alarmed Mingzong. Mingzong sent Wei Rong, whom he trusted the most, to Su Li's Qiuyue Palace. Wei Rong's official position and power have not changed, but became a little bigger, because Mingzong said that if Qiuyue Palace encounters an emergency, Wei Rong can make full decisions.

The new card game was gathered together. This time Su Li was playing cards sincerely and no longer asked her to feed her.

Wei Rong played cards silently and would not go to see her on purpose.

While playing, just as Wei Rong finally got to eat Su Li's card, he had just put the card out and was about to put Su Li's card on him when he suddenly heard Su Li's voice.

Wei Rong's hands shook.

Xiao Anzi, Ruyi, was frightened and rushed to Su Li, holding Su Li, who was frowning and breathing, and asked her what was wrong.

Su Li looked at her stomach and said with a smile and anger: "This child kicked me."

Xiao Anzi, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Rong's back had already sweated like rain. After all, it was his flesh and blood. Whether boys or girls, they had been almost seven months old. He had been worried about it for seven months. If something happened at this time, Wei Rong...he would not think about it anymore.

"It is not advisable for nobles to sit for a long time, so let's go here today."

A false alarm was heard, Wei Rong left the seat and bent down to Su Li.

Su Li thought for a while, held her waist and said, "I'm really tired. My father-in-law will help me pinch my legs."

She called Wei Rong to serve her for the first time.

Wei Rong seemed to have been used to it, and smiled and held up one of Su Li's arm and helped her to the imperial concubine's couch.

Su Li asked Ruyi to go to the kitchen to get something, and then asked Xiao Anzi to scrub the mahjong plaque.

Taking this opportunity, Su Li said to Wei Rong, who was kneeling beside her and gently pinched her legs: "The position of Qiuyue Palace is too far off. Although your official position has not changed, it is not conducive to our plan for a long time to stay away from the imperial front. Tonight I will pretend to have a nightmare and ask the emperor to arrange for me to go to the back hall of Chongzheng Palace to raise my baby."

Wei Rong frowned and said, "Chongzheng Hall is the emperor's bedroom. Your request is too bold. Even if the emperor obeys you now, if you give birth to a princess, the emperor will definitely settle the new and old accounts together."

Su Li said, "That's better than the position of eunuch who was replaced by someone." As she said that, her fingers pointed at her, Wei Rong, and finally stopped on her bulging belly. She looked at Wei Rong with a serious expression and said, "Only if you hold the power of the palace in our family, I will have hope with my children. If you fall down, even if I give birth to a son and a group of wolves, we mother and son may not be able to live long."

She was able to take care of her baby because she knew that Wei Rong would eliminate all unsafe factors for her.

Her eyes were so bright, full of trust and expectation for him, and Wei Rong felt that somewhere in her heart suddenly became soft.

Since Su Li became pregnant, she had never whispered him. Wei Rong thought she was really dependent on Mingzong as she showed. It turned out that she was just acting with Mingzong.

"Okay, let's go back to Chongzheng Hall together."

After discussion, Su Li made another fuss at night.

Mingzong just spoiled others tonight. Because of the medicinal properties, he was suddenly woken up by someone in the middle of the night. When he learned that Lu Guiren seemed to have had a fetal aura, Mingzong immediately rushed to Qiuyue Palace.

Su Li lay on the bed, crying silently. Seeing Mingzong, Su Li reached out to hug her.

Before Mingzong came in, he had met Doctor Li and knew that she was just having a nightmare and that the child was fine.

"What nightmare scares you like this?" Mingzong lay down and held Su Li's little hand and patted gently. The brutal and bloodthirsty old emperor had never loved his daughters so much because he had been looking forward to his son.

Su Li leaned against his shoulder and sobbed quietly, "I dreamed that a sinful concubine died in the cold palace. She said she didn't want to die and wanted to give birth to my stomach. I wanted to give birth to a dragon son for the emperor. If I were not willing to ask her to come, I would run away, but she pursued her relentlessly. Later, many female ghosts appeared around me from all directions, I..."

Su Li couldn't continue to say anything and started crying again.

Although Mingzong knew that dreams were all fake, he was still very angry.

Qiuyue Palace was not a good place. If it weren't for the fear of moving away rashly, Mingzong would have wanted to ask her to change to a palace close to Chongzheng Palace.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with me here, I will never dare to get close to you."

Su Li cried, "But the emperor won't accompany me every night. As soon as the emperor left, they came again, and I didn't dare to sleep anymore."

Mingzong:...

How can you not dare to sleep? What should you do if your prince hurts him?

Mingzong really cared about Su Li's baby, and he cared about any pregnancy of any concubine before.

Where can she sleep well every night without worrying about having such a dream again?

If you want to say that the only palace in the harem where women have never died, it is his Chongzheng Hall.

Mingzong thought again that Chongzheng Hall was the place where emperors of all dynasties lived, and the dragon energy was the strongest. Maybe she moved there, and the child in her belly was nourished by the dragon energy, which would not only help her give birth to a prince, but also make this dragon son very talented and extremely smart!

The more Mingzong thought about it, the more appropriate he was. He had no scruples and immediately told Su Li about his decision.

Su Li suddenly realized that the old emperor had a tacit understanding with her.

"This, isn't this in compliance with the rules?" Su Li said with tears in her eyes.

Mingzong smiled and said, "I have set the rules in the world. If I say yes, it's OK."

Su Li burst into tears and laughed, leaned over and kissed Mingzong in the face.
