The Emperor and Yu w.a.n.g talked inside the Empress Dowager Palace for a long time. Only the three of them and their trusted servants who were there to serve the three of them. Their conversation lasted long enough before the Emperor finally told the news he was trying to keep and wanted to immediately shared by the two most important people besides his wife in the Emperor"s life."My wife is 2 months pregnant now."
The Emperor"s notice made Yu w.a.n.g and Empress Dowager; Jing Yuanmeng was surprised and stared at him. Yu Fengyan saw the reactions of the two people near him makes him smiling broadly, feeling very proud because he can make the changes to their usual unchanging expression.
"Is the Emperor serious about the news?" Jing Yuanmeng asked her first son with a serious face. This woman will not accept if the Emperor jokes with him. She had long wanted the grandchildren from her two sons.
"Of course, this Imperial Son is serious about this news." Staring at his mother seriously, the Emperor continued; "That"s one of the reasons this Imperial Son came to visit Imperial Mother"s place."
"Hmph, the main reason, you mean?!"
Hearing Empress Dowager"s exact accusations at him, the Emperor could only smile wryly because of his Imperial Mother"s correct guess. Yu w.a.n.g only saw the interesting interaction that occurred between his brother and his mother who looked upset because it had been a long time since the two had a big fight, the two met up again. His Imperial Mother feels very sad because his Imperial brother who used to be very close to her, changes rapidly after their big fight.
Reluctant because he also felt guilty had not met his mother for a long time, the Emperor only silently received a look of accusation from Empress Dowager. Glancing at Yu w.a.n.g, the Emperor asked his younger brother for help.
"Imperial Mother, please forgive Imperial brother. He actually only used the reason of his wife"s pregnancy as a stepping stone to make up with you. Actually, the Emperor often asks how you are doing to me, even though this Prince is far away on the battlefield while he is in the Palace with you. "
The Emperor initially nodded happily to hear Yu w.a.n.g help him calm Empress Dowager until he heard the end of his younger brother"s words.
"Yu w.a.n.g, you-"
"Okay, fine. This Dowager understand."
Feeling amused by the interaction between his two sons who had not changed much, Empress Dowager smiled faintly.
"So, can Imperial Mother help me cover up the news of my wife"s pregnancy?" the Emperor asked hopefully.
Frowned, Empress Dowager was confused as to why her first son wanted her to help cover Empress"s pregnancy.
"Why does Emperor want to cover up the news?"
Empress Dowager"s puzzled question made the Emperor realize that his mother had closed herself off the news in the palace long enough.
"Imperial Mother, Imperial Brother is forced to accept a new concubine."
"Huh?! Receive new concubines? The Emperor?! "
"Yes, Imperial Mother. The new concubine came from the Su family. The young woman used some devious schemes to enter the harem."
Hearing that, Jing Yuanmeng only nodded in understanding. This was common during her marriage to the previous Emperor.
"So, Emperor wants to hide the news of the pregnancy from the new concubine and the Su family who support her?"
The Emperor nodded, confirmed it. Empress Dowager thought deeply and paused briefly thinking about a plan to help her daughter-in-law.
"If Emperor really wants to cover up the news of your wife"s pregnancy, you can let her stay in Imperial Mother"s Palace. Here, all servants are loyal to Imperial Mother"s orders, there are no servants who become spies in this Imperial Mother"s Palace."
"Can"t my Empress doesn"t need to move here?"
Yu Fengyan felt he did not want his wife to live in a palace far enough from the Emperor"s Palace. He will miss his wife very much if they live far enough.
"There"s no need to feel so lost like that, Emperor. Imperial Mother"s Palace isn"t that far away to make your face change that way. Other palaces let alone yours and Empress must have quite a lot of spies. As an Emperor how to use spies will make yourself as an emperor can release news that you want the other party knowing it spread easily. But, their presence inside those Palaces can hinder your desire to hide the Empress pregnancy."
"Yes, Imperial Mother is right. This Imperial Son is overreacting to this matter."
Waving her fingers, Empress Dowager just smiled.
"This Mother knows your anxiety because this is your first child from the woman you love. But, as a man and also the Emperor, you must think calmly. The more severe the situation you face, you need to be calmer."
"Yes, this Imperial Son will remember your advice."
"Imperial Brother, Imperial Mother suggests a very good idea to run. Your new concubine"s subordinates will not be able to enter the Imperial Mother"s Palace because all the servants here all know each other and they have served Imperial Mother for generations."
"Yes, what you say is true. All right, Imperial Mother, this Imperial Son will immediately notify Empress to move here immediately. This Imperial Son asks Imperial Mother to help look after my wife and her pregnancy."
"Emperor doesn"t need to remind me, This Dowager has been waiting for your children for a long time. This Dowager will take good care of Empress and her child. If anyone tries to hurt them, this Dowager will make them feel h.e.l.l in this world."
Hearing the cruelty in Empress Dowager"s words, the two men trembled. They forgot that the woman who was their biological mother could survive the cruelty of the Emperor"s harem. Even though she looks gentle and weak, Jing Yuanmeng can continue to accept the previous Emperor"s love before and continue to survive as an Empress in the previous Emperor"s chaotic harem. Although she was never done any dirty schemes, accepting a lot of it and being able to get through it all makes this woman in front of them a tough woman and not easily defeated.
