“Your Majesty, I pay my respects. I have been reflecting on my mistakes these past few days. I thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness!” Wen Baolin curtsied.
Although she acted impulsively at the time, after careful analysis, she understood the Emperor’s leniency toward her.
Helian Qi nodded slightly: “Get up.”
Wen Baolin stood up, her gaze sweeping over Ning Wanyin, who was standing to the side of the Emperor.
Today, Helian Qi summoned Ning Wanyin to serve him with brush and ink (for practicing painting).
The Emperor had the concubine pay her respects, but he did not ask her to leave, so she stopped writing and sat quietly to one side.
“Your Majesty, this concubine has something else to report. My period is more than half a month late… I beg Your Majesty to summon the imperial physician for me.” Wen Baolin said shyly.
Helian Qi immediately put down his pen, which was used to review memorials, and said, “Wang Degui, summon the imperial physician!”
He has only one son, who is the son of Shu Fei.
To prevent his maternal relatives from becoming too powerful, he needs more princes.
Whether it’s Shun Pin, Wen Baolin, or other concubines of suitable status, their offspring could all become candidates for the crown prince in his eyes.
Soon, Imperial Physician Zhao rushed over, took Wen Baolin’s pulse, and bowed to the Emperor, saying: “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Wen Baolin is more than a month pregnant.”
Helian Qi was overjoyed: “Very good. Wen Baolin has rendered meritorious service in bearing the imperial heir; she shall be promoted to the rank of Meiren!”
Wen Meiren was overjoyed and curtsied, saying, “This concubine thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!”
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your heir!” Wang Degui hurriedly offered auspicious words.
Ning Wanyin also stood up to offer her congratulations, “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Wen Meiren!”
Wen Meiren was very proud that she had gotten pregnant before Ning Wanyin, and was about to show off a bit…
But the Emperor on the dragon throne said, “Ning Shi, you have a lot of experience taking care of Shun Pin. I’ll also entrust Wen Meiren to your care.”
Wen Meiren immediately became anxious.
Ning Wanyin, relying on her service in taking care of Shun Pin, obtained the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and the Emperor bestowed many rewards upon her on a daily basis.
Now she also wants to rely on her child to guarantee her another ten months of wealth and luxury?
She shouldn’t even think about it!
As for those methods to protect the pregnancy, who in the entire palace doesn’t know the rules of Changchun Palace these days?
She can just follow them; there’s no need for Ning Wanyin at all.
“Your Majesty, this concubine believes that Ning Jieyu is already very busy taking care of Shun Pin. If she were to also take care of this concubine, this concubine feared she might neglect one thing and affect Shun Pin’s pregnancy.” Wen Meiren hurriedly objected
“I can take good care of myself, so there’s no need for you to trouble Ning Jieyu.”
Ning Wanyin had no intention of taking care of another person.
Did the Emperor think that she was a master of pregnancy care?
“What Wen Meiren says is true. I have already exhausted myself taking care of Shun Pin, and it would be difficult for me to take care of Wen Meiren as well.” Ning Wanyin curtsied and politely declined, her manner perfectly measured.
“I can send a copy of the Changchun Palace’s rules to Wen Meiren. Wen Meiren can choose whatever she needs… If Wen Meiren has any questions for me, I will answer them without reservation.”
Seeing this, Helian Qi also felt that it was a bit unreasonable to make Ning Wanyin do the work of several people, so he nodded and said, “In that case, Wen Meiren, you should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. I will have the Imperial Household Department assign you some experienced nannies to take good care of you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Wen Meiren breathed a sigh of relief.
