Chapter 5 — The Emperor's White Moonlight Returns, So Let's Play One More Game

Everyone simultaneously turned their heads to look at Nhu Tan sitting in a corner. After the doctor took her pulse, sure enough, Nhu Tan was more than two months pregnant. Looks like she found out early. It was only because I couldn't meet the Emperor that I waited until I was released from detention to publicly reveal it to everyone.

"Sister Qin, please rest assured that you will have a good pregnancy. If you successfully give birth to a royal child, regardless of whether it is a Prince or a Princess, this palace will only request that you be promoted to the rank of concubine."

It's a smile that comes from the bottom of the heart. As long as that baby was not born by Tu Huu Dung. So it doesn't matter who is born.

"Nhu Qin is truly blessed. Just soak it once and you will be happy."

Thuan Tan is a straightforward person, but he spoke in a bitter tone. The other concubines did not have any special reactions. Only Tu Huu Dung's face was full of surprise, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. In her previous life, Qi Duc once promised her that the prince could only be born from her. Now it seems that the man's promise is indeed unbelievable. Whoever believes it is a fool. On Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Chau, paid tribute by different states, was also brought into the royal palace. There are nine pills in total. Three tablets are given to me. Three tablets were given to Dung Phi. Hue Phi, Duc Phi and Nhu Tan were also given one pill each. Nhu Tan is four months pregnant. Pregnancy is stable. Listening to the Royal Doctor, it is very likely that he is a Prince. Therefore, although Qi Duc did not like her very much, because she was pregnant, he still gave her some special treatment.

"What kind of thing is Concubine Dung? Yet she is rewarded on par with the princess. Isn't this intentionally making people lose face?"

Niem Chau is upset on my behalf. But we don't pay much attention. In the previous life, all nine Dong Chau tablets were brought to the Tru Tu palace. And now, Qi Duc is no longer willing to give her as much grace as before. I picked up a Dong Chau, placed it in the palm of my hand and looked at it. The pearl is round, large, transparent and shiny. Truly a rare treasure.

"Nha Tan's pregnancy was difficult."

“Let's all reward her.”

I conveniently threw the Dong Chau stone back into the brocade box. It collided with the other two, making a clear jingling sound. Tu Huu Dung got three pills. Then let Nhu Tan get four tablets. Either way, we have to push her down a notch. Nhu Tan has always been careful and cautious, but now she is rewarded with both joy and fear. If it weren't for Niem Chau's advice, she would have come to thank me herself. On the contrary, Dung Phi's side spread the news, saying that because autumn made her depressed, she had no appetite for lunch, and had to let Te Duc personally stay with her so that she could barely eat a little. I just smiled faintly at Concubine Dung's little tricks, but instead put all my thoughts into tonight's banquet. After Qi Yu ascended the throne, my father immediately led the army to wipe out foreign and internal rebellions, pacifying each place. Therefore, for more than half a year, our dynasty has been peaceful, the world is peaceful, a piece of peace. Now the national treasury is abundant, there are no external disasters, no internal troubles, and important holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival of course must be held solemnly. Banquet tonight, one is to secondly, to reward meritorious deeds, but Qi Duc's most important goal was to regain military power. In my previous life, I dedicated myself to planning the banquet. To save face and gain prestige, I even spent a lot of my own money, just hoping to get some joy in Qi Duc in return. When he mentioned the matter of revoking military power, I even wanted to compete with Tu Huu Dung and could only risk my life to signal with my eyes to my father. I completely ignored the anger that my father tried to suppress, as well as the silent disappointment when he was forced to hand over the Tiger talisman. Since then, the Lam family has steadily declined, while the Tu family and their faction have gradually advanced. My concession cannot change Qi Duc's turning away. What's more ridiculous is that from then on, he almost never stepped foot in Vi Uong palace once. In this life, I entrust that task to Hue Phi. She is exactly like me in the past, just hoping to exchange for a reputation of kindness and virtue.
