Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 308 Shaking Mushrooms on the Wall (Part 5)

"Your Majesty, Consort Mei is pregnant, just like Consort Yi. I wonder if this child will be a prince."

While pouring tea for Fucha Langhua, Su Lian whispered in her ear.

"There is no need to worry. No matter which of them gives birth to a prince, they will never surpass my Yonglian. He is His Majesty's legitimate son, and no one can change that."

"Consort Yi is dependent on me and is timid by nature. If she gives birth to a prince, I will raise him under my care. Do you think she will escape my grasp?"

Hearing her say that, Su Lian disagreed. She was originally the wife of Empress Fucha and an old servant who was assigned to the Empress's side. Naturally, she would think more about the Empress's interests in everything.

"That's not how it works, Your Majesty. You've forgotten, our Emperor wasn't the late Emperor's legitimate son either."

"The Second Prince's health is not good, so you should think more about his health."

"That Consort Yi is alright; she was just a pawn for you to win over the Emperor. But Consort Mei, ever since she became pregnant, has become arrogant and disrespectful in the palace. For a mere courtesan, she's far too presumptuous; I'm afraid she has quite the ambition."

Empress Fucha Langhua was slightly taken aback, then her eyes became deep. “What you say makes sense. I certainly cannot be careless. However, there are undercurrents in this harem. Please allow me to think it over carefully.”

Su Lian leaned closer and whispered, "Your Highness, we need to keep a close eye on Consort Mei and Consort Yi. Whether they give birth or not, it will likely cause a lot of trouble."

Fucha Langhua nodded gently, "Go and arrange for people to keep a close eye on their every move. Report back immediately if there is any disturbance."

Su Lian accepted the order and left.

Fucha Langhua picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and gazed at the garden outside the window.

"Yonglian, for your future, I will plan everything carefully." She secretly vowed in her heart.

Qingmo naturally dispatched secret guards to monitor the situation in the harem, and everything was under her control.

However, she doesn't intend to do anything. Where there are people, there will be conflict, unless she disbands the harem or kills everyone.

But wouldn't that be so boring?

Qingmo didn't think Fucha Langhua had done anything wrong.

As the queen of a nation, she possessed the dignity and poise befitting an empress. Her appearance, family background, and magnanimity were all unmatched by any other woman in the harem.

As for her husband and concubines, as long as they didn't go too far, everything was tolerable.

As for the original owner of this body, that big jerk, well, let's not even mention it.

As a husband, he failed Empress Fucha Langhua.

As a lover, he betrayed Daru.

As a father, he was able to send his daughter away for a political marriage.

As an emperor, aside from his use of women to please others, he was, in all fairness, a good emperor. After all, Qianlong's achievements in history are indelible.

But this is a palace drama, so all talk of achievements and merits is meaningless here. He's just a worthless dragon.

"Hmph, they're all shameless women. Why can she get pregnant, and she can get pregnant, but I can't?"

"Bai Ruiji, what is she? How dare she be so insolent in front of me? She's a lowly creature, does she even deserve to be here?"

A series of crackling sounds came from Xianfu Palace, and the palace servants were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

"Oh dear, my lady, please keep your voice down. If this reaches His Majesty's ears, he might blame you." Mo Xin quickly pulled the Consort back, afraid that she would talk nonsense again.

"Blame me? Heh, do you think I'm afraid?" Gao Xiyue's eyes widened in anger.

"I have been devoted to the Emperor, yet I have no child with him, while those wretches are pregnant one by one. How can I swallow this insult!"

As she spoke, Gao Xiyue couldn't hide her disappointment. All she wanted was to be a mother. What had she done wrong?

Mo Xin advised, "My lady, try to think positively. This can't be rushed. It will happen eventually."

At this moment, a palace maid came in and announced, "Your Highness, Consort Jia has arrived."

"What is she doing here?" The Imperial Concubine looked displeased, but still said, "Let her in."

Consort Jia walked in gracefully, curtsied, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Gao Xiyue snorted coldly: "What business do you have here with me?"

Consort Jia glanced at the broken porcelain on the ground and said with a forced smile, "I heard that Consort Mei and Consort Yi are both pregnant. Your Highness is feeling troubled, so I have come to comfort you."

Gao Xiyue sneered: "Comfort? You're quite the talker. You're not even pregnant yourself, and you're trying to comfort me? Humph."

Consort Jia's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and chuckled, "This concubine is useless and cannot compare to Consort Yi. She is carrying the imperial child. If she gives birth to His Majesty's first prince after his ascension to the throne, her status will naturally be incomparably noble."

"Furthermore, Consort Yi has always sided with the Empress. If the Empress raises this child, he will be considered half a legitimate son, and his status will rise even higher because of his son."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiyue had calmed down and sat down in a chair.

He said indifferently, "What does this have to do with me? Why do you need to come all the way here to tell me?"

Despite being rebuked like that, Consort Jia was not annoyed. She gently stroked her hair and smiled, "Noble Consort, please don't be angry. If Consort Yi's child were raised by the Empress, everyone would be happy. But don't forget where Consort Yi lives now."

"What do you mean?" Gao Xiyue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Consort Jia continued, "Consort Yi is now living in Yanxi Palace. Although Consort Xian is frequently punished by the Emperor, her relationship with His Majesty is different from ours. Who knows if His Majesty is deliberately putting on a show for us to protect her?"

"Consort Xian has already raised the eldest prince. If she can win over the Emperor and let her raise Consort Yi's child as well, Consort Xian will have two princes under her wing."

"I'm afraid that when that time comes, our lives will all become difficult."

After saying these words, Consort Jia's gaze fell on the Imperial Concubine, the meaning of which was clear: we are in the same boat.

Seeing her like this, Gao Xiyue was furious.

"Who do you think you are? Even if I and Consort Xian are at odds, it's none of your business to come here and sow discord between us."

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to use me to deal with them. Do you think you're worthy of using me?"

"Someone, slap him."

Upon hearing this, Moxin went up and slapped Consort Jia twice across the face.

"see a visitor out."

Consort Jia pretended to be fine on the surface, but in her heart she cursed Gao Xiyue eight hundred times. However, she believed that she had achieved her goal this time.

Ha, you idiot.
