Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 197 Heartless and Cold-Hearted Emperor × Little Palace Maid 8

Consort Jin, a mere palace maid, was able to gain the emperor's favor and quickly become pregnant; she truly had remarkable abilities!

"Your Majesty, please rest and recover." After saying this, the Emperor led Chu Yue out of Anyang Palace.

Consort Shu could not linger any longer, so she apologized and quickly withdrew.

The Empress Dowager turned pale, hardly believing what had just happened—the Emperor was questioning her over a woman.

She also wanted to treat the emperor well, but the mother and son had drifted apart and could never go back to how they were before.

As soon as Chu Yue returned to the Zichen Palace, the imperial physician who was waiting there took her pulse. Linglingyi even whispered that it was a pity about the props.

Under the emperor's deep gaze, the imperial physician's back was damp with sweat, feeling immense pressure: "Your Majesty, Consort Jin is unharmed..."

The emperor nodded, and the imperial physician was escorted out.

Chu Yue sat on the couch with her head down, knowing that the emperor was watching her.

Finally, she could no longer sit still, stood up, and said cautiously, "This concubine is guilty... please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Oh? What crime have you committed?"

Chu Yue lowered her eyes slightly, knowing that the emperor cared about the child, and said with some bitterness, "I didn't mean it. I will definitely protect the child well in the future and not let Your Majesty worry."

Looking at her slender figure, with her head down so her expression was obscured, you could tell what she was thinking just by listening to her tone of voice.

The imperial physician once said that pregnant women are prone to overthinking, and she was probably imagining things.

The emperor came to her, grabbed her shoulder with one hand and pinched her chin with the other: "The child is important, but you are important too."

He wasn't good at expressing himself, but Consort Jin was the only one who could enter his heart, and she was pregnant with his child.

Despite his coldness, the emperor felt pity for her and gently offered words of comfort.

Chu Yue nearly burst into tears, feeling wronged. She said in a trembling voice, "I thought..."

"What do you think? Do you think I only want the child?" The emperor understood that she lacked security and was easily frightened.

"No... This concubine wouldn't dare. Whatever Your Majesty does is perfectly appropriate."

Chu Yue said with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes.

"Enough. Don't let your mind wander, or I will punish you severely." Although the emperor said this, his tone was not harsh at all.

Chu Yue smiled boldly at him: "Your Majesty, spare my life..."

The emperor was helpless, but as long as she was in a good mood, he was at ease.

Time flew by, and Chu Yue was three months pregnant. Once the pregnancy was stable, she moved to Tanghua Palace.

She originally lived in Zichen Palace, and the emperor had gotten used to it, as had she.

But there were some inconveniences. After all, it was the emperor's bedroom, and she was pregnant, so there were many things she had to be careful about.

Tanghua Palace was well-located and spacious. In order to allow her to rest and recuperate peacefully during her pregnancy, the emperor decorated the palace to be far more luxurious than that of a Zhaoyi (a high-ranking concubine).

Chu Yue was not feeling well, so everything was packed and ready for her to come over. In short, she was simply changing her sleeping location.

Xiao Tao looked around the hall and nodded in satisfaction: "Zhaoyi, His Majesty is so good to you."

She was very fortunate to be friends with Chu Yue. Now that Chu Yue had risen to prominence, she was also benefiting from the change.

Fangcao nodded in agreement and helped Chuyue sit down: "Your Highness, I am so happy. You have finally overcome your hardships."

The days when the three of them were starving and cold were still vivid in their minds. Fortunately, Chu Yue lived up to expectations and became one of the emperor's concubines. They served her closely and no longer had to live the life they had before.

"Aren't you silly? His Majesty originally wanted to arrange someone else for me, but I still want to be with you. Granny Qin felt the same way. As long as you don't feel wronged."

Chu Yue smiled gently, saying that the two of them and the original owner had been friends through thick and thin.

Xiao Tao and Fang Cao shook their heads vigorously: "We're not wronged, we're not wronged."

They were overjoyed; their mistress was their former sister, who took good care of them. What was there to feel wronged about?

"it is good……"

The Empress was confined to her quarters, the Empress Dowager was recuperating, and Consort Shu was exempted from paying her respects.

Chu Yue's pregnancy was going well, but she thought that the pregnancy would stop after three months, but she ended up vomiting so badly that she felt dizzy and disoriented.

I have no energy all day, and I can't eat or sleep well.

Linglingyi immediately offered her pills to relieve her discomfort, and Chu Yue's pain was alleviated.

But I still have to put on a show; I have to make His Majesty feel sorry for me, right? Right now, my favorability rating is only forty.

"His Majesty has arrived..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the emperor entered the inner palace.

Chu Yue leaned against the bed, her face somewhat pale: "This concubine... greets Your Majesty."

"Hmm." The emperor came to the bedside and saw that her originally beautiful face had turned pale, and she looked even more frail lying there.

He grasped her slightly cold wrist and whispered, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

The imperial physician said that the symptoms could only be slightly relieved, but there was no way to cure them completely.

The thought of her bearing him a son of blood softened the emperor's heart even more: "What would you like to eat? I'll have it prepared."

Chu Yue said, feeling wronged, "I don't want to eat... I feel unwell."

"Then what do you want? I'll have it sent over." It seems I haven't given her anything yet; she's done a good job and deserves a reward.

She's feeling so down right now, so I'll give her something she likes to cheer her up.

Chu Yue weakly shook her head: "I don't want anything... I just want Your Majesty... to stay with me."

Given her clingy nature, the emperor indulged her: "Just like that?"

“My son is being noisy and wants his father to stay with him…” Chu Yue said earnestly.

The emperor touched her slightly protruding belly, feeling the warmth of his palm: "Whatever you say."

Chu Yue then smiled slightly and leaned weakly into the emperor's arms.

During the meal, the emperor was very gentle, and even asked her what she wanted to eat. As long as Chu Yue nodded, he would feed her what she wanted to eat.

"Your Majesty... I dare not, please let me eat it myself," Chu Yue said cautiously.

The emperor didn't answer her. Instead, he fed her some appetizing sour duck soup and asked, "What else would you like to eat?"

After using the props, Chu Yue felt much better, and the emperor personally fed her. She then pointed to a lightly seasoned dish of bok choy.

The emperor then fed her more food, which Chu Yue ate one by one.

The palace servants who were serving him were all speechless with astonishment. Was this really His Majesty?

So gentle, he even personally fed Consort Jin Zhao?

They must be still half asleep and not fully awake yet.

The happiest people were Xiao Tao and Fang Cao. With Zhao Yi in the favor, they had a lot of face to save.

The two exchanged a glance and served each other with smiles.

Xiao Dezi could only sigh that the current emperor was simply a different person from the emperors of the past.

Heaven has changed.

After finishing her meal, Chu Yue looked at the emperor, who remained seated motionless, and asked tactfully, "Your Majesty... tonight..."

She is pregnant and cannot serve the emperor in bed. Does the emperor intend to keep her overnight?

"It's getting late today, so I'll stay here." Actually, the emperor wasn't used to not having her by his side.

So when Chu Yue moved here, he followed her.

Since that's the case, Chu Yue naturally couldn't say anything more.

After Xiao Tao and Fang Cao helped her wash up, they came out in their nightgowns. The emperor was already half-reclined on the bed.

"His Majesty……"

The emperor sat up, embraced her, and gently lifted her to the inside of his arms, then held her close. This time it felt right: "Go to sleep."

Chu Yue was easily sleepy, and upon returning to her familiar embrace, she fell asleep in no time.

The emperor also fell asleep contentedly.
