At this time, Fu Cha Zhixi was reading to her unborn baby when she saw Su Qin walking in with a bowl of soup.
Fu Cha Zhixi raised his eyes and looked over with some curiosity.
"Your Majesty, this is the plum soup that the Emperor ordered Concubine Cao to bring over."
Suqin began to explain.
"emperor?"
Fu Cha Zhixi asked in confusion.
"When the maid from Concubine Cao's palace brought the soup over just now, she said that Concubine Shen was found to be pregnant in Concubine Cao's palace. The emperor saw that Concubine Shen liked to drink this plum soup, so he specially asked someone to bring a bowl to you, Your Majesty."
"The Emperor also asked Concubine Cao to send a copy of the recipe over."
Suqin put the bowl on the table and began to explain to Fucha Zhixi.
Naturally, she would not let the pregnant lady drink this soup, even though she knew that it was sent by Concubine Cao at the order of the Emperor. But after all, it passed through someone else's hands, and she certainly would not let the lady take the risk.
After being framed and poisoned so many times, she saw with her own eyes how cautious the Empress was, but she still almost fell for it.
Over time, those who served the empress became more cautious about the things the empress imported.
"That little maid also said that the emperor was worried about the queen's poor appetite, so he wanted to send it to the queen."
Suqin said with a smile as she looked at the empress who was wearing a light blue nightgown and half leaning on the couch.
"Now that I think about it, I'm kind of craving for some plum soup. Ask the kitchen to make some and send it over."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at Su Qin and said.
She really hasn't had a very good appetite recently. This plum soup is good for stimulating appetite and relieving heat. She actually wants to drink some now.
"My lady, do you want to drink the plum soup made with this recipe?"
Suqin asked somewhat uncertainly.
"No, just make some ordinary plum soup."
Fu Cha Zhixi didn't dare to use Concubine Cao's things. After all, based on her previous experience of watching Legend of Zhen Huan, Concubine Cao was the most calculating person in the palace. She was involved in many of the ingenious schemes set up by Concubine Hua.
Who knows if there is any problem with this recipe? She doesn't want to spend time trying it, so it's better to just not use it and be done with it.
"I will go and tell the kitchen to make plum soup."
Suqin was not surprised by Fucha Zhixi's rejection. Their queen was a careful and cautious person and naturally would not take such a risk just for the sake of verbal pleasure.
She asked because she didn't want to violate the boundaries between master and servant and make the queen feel that she was overstepping her authority.
The most important thing for a slave is to recognize his position. A slave is a slave, and a slave cannot be the master of his master.
Looking at Suqin's leaving back, Fu Cha Zhixi put down the book and couldn't help but think about something.
It seems that Shen Meizhuang has fallen into this fake pregnancy trap. In fact, this trap has many loopholes. The biggest problem is why Shen Meizhuang would so easily believe an imperial physician who had just joined the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Shen Meizhuang has been in the palace for so long, doesn't she know how important the imperial physician is?
It is really hard to judge that she rashly gave her trust to the other person just because he was from the same hometown as her.
But this has nothing to do with her. Even if she knew that Shen Meizhuang had been tricked, she had no obligation to remind her.
After all, the most important thing for her now is to be prepared at all times to welcome the arrival of the little one in her belly.
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but look down at her bulging belly, and her heart softened.
Now that my mother has come to the garden, I will feel more at ease when the time comes to give birth.
Even if the queen wanted to do something, it wouldn't be easy.
For the sake of the Fucha family and herself, she would definitely give birth to this child safely.
No matter who wants to harm her child, she will never show mercy.
She really couldn't be as indifferent to life as the locals, but when necessary, she didn't mind using blood to let these people know that she was not the kind of person who would not fight back after being bullied.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you stayed up late with Concubine Shen last night. Now that you are in the garden, you should relax a little. Why don't you rest for a while?"
The Queen took the ginseng tea from Huichun's hand and handed it to the Emperor with concern.
"Your Majesty, this is the ginseng tea that I specially prepared. Your Majesty, please try it."
"I am indeed happy that Concubine Shen is pregnant, but I still have to attend the morning court and handle government affairs. How can I have time to rest?"
The classic speech of the King of Papers, while he was still staring at the paper in his hand.
"You probably didn't sleep well last night. There's nothing to do right now, so you can go back and catch up on your sleep."
The emperor took the ginseng tea and took a sip without raising his head, and casually said something of concern.
When the queen heard the emperor's concern, her heart suddenly felt so sweet that a shy smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Concubine Shen's pregnancy is a great joy in the palace, so I naturally have to worry about it. In addition, according to the date, Concubine Xiang's baby is about to be born, so I have to arrange all the matters related to the birth."
The queen smiled and explained.
"You will have to worry more about Concubine Shen. As for Concubine Xiang, now that Madam Fucha is with her, you can relax a little."
The emperor finally looked up at the queen, then lowered his head again and spoke.
"I want to promote Concubine Shen to a higher position. What do you think?"
"Mrs. Shen has always been well-behaved and sensible. Now that she is pregnant, it makes sense for her to be promoted."
"But Concubine Cao was not promoted due to the intense war situation. If Concubine Shen were promoted, I'm afraid..."
The Queen spoke hesitantly.
"I want to promote Concubine Shen not because she is pregnant, but because I think Concubine Shen has been steady and generous since she entered the palace. If she gets promoted to this position, she will be able to help you more in the future."
The emperor's words meant a simple thing; promoting Shen Meizhuang's position was to allow her to better compete with Concubine Hua.
"Your Majesty is right. Does Your Majesty intend to give Concubine Shen the title of concubine?"
When the Queen heard that the Emperor had said this, she naturally didn't know what to say, so she had to ask tentatively.
"She is worthy of the position of concubine, but for now, just give her a title."
"When she successfully gives birth to a child, I will give her the title of concubine."
The Emperor felt that Shen Meizhuang was not mature enough because of the last incident with the allowance. Although she later realized that she was wrong and took the initiative to admit her mistake to him, this was enough to prove that her character was not mature enough. He had to suppress her position and temper her.
"Does the Emperor have a title he likes?"
The Queen didn't expect that the Emperor would actually take the initiative to propose not to give her the position of concubine for the time being, which surprised her a little.
