Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 161 The Rough-Hearted Emperor and the Delicate Imperial Concubine 19

"This servant greets Your Highness the Noble Consort..." Xiao Caizi led a group of palace servants to Yufu Palace, each carrying many things.

Chu Yue said softly, "Get up."

"Your Highness, His Majesty has instructed me to bring you some items to relieve your boredom, so that you won't be bored." Xiao Caizi said, gesturing for the palace servants to put the items down.

Chu Yue couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace..."

She was promoted to Imperial Concubine when she was three months pregnant, and her title remained unchanged. Now that the baby is over four months old, she hasn't had much trouble with it.

"If Your Highness is pleased, then this servant will take his leave."

"it is good……"

Xiao Tao looked at the pile of items on the table, which was overflowing, and examined them; they were all quite unusual.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is too good to you."

"Go and put them away properly, just leave a few in the hall."

Chu Yue supported her waist with one hand and held her stomach with the other. She was slender, and her abdomen was only slightly protruding.

"Your Highness, let me help you. Please watch your step." Xiao Ju was most afraid of her moving around. Looking at her slender body, she felt scared that she might fall.

Chu Yue said helplessly, "No need to be so careful, I'm fine."

Xiaoju shook her head firmly.

Chu Yue: "..."

"Then help me outside to take a look; it's a bit stuffy inside."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiaoju helped Chuyue walk out of the palace gate. Looking at the long palace road, Chuyue slowly moved her feet. Walking more is good for her health.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?" Xiaoju asked worriedly.

"I'm not tired. My belly isn't big yet, and I'll be walking a lot more in the future. My mother says that I'll give birth faster then," Chu Yue said with a smile.

Having given birth to two children, Lady Li had gained some experience, and when she visited Lady Li in the palace, she would give her detailed instructions.

When the emperor arrived, he saw Chu Yue on the palace path. He walked up to her in a few steps and asked with concern, "My beloved concubine, what's wrong?"

After saying that, he looked her up and down, thinking that she was not feeling well.

"Your Majesty, you've arrived. I wanted to go for a walk. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chu Yue was still a bit weak, and being pregnant, she started sweating after walking for a while.

Seeing the Imperial Concubine covered in sweat, the Emperor felt a pang of heartache: "If you're tired, rest for a while. I'll carry you back."

Chu Yue wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's always good for me to walk around more."

The emperor couldn't help but worry, "My beloved consort, don't be afraid. I will have the imperial physicians guard Jade Lotus Palace at all times. You and the prince will be fine."

The Imperial Concubine was frail, and it was already difficult for her to conceive. Thinking of the challenges of childbirth, the Emperor was also filled with apprehension.

"Your Majesty, don't worry so much. My son is very obedient and hasn't caused me much trouble. I will take good care of him."

I'm four months pregnant, and apart from some initial discomfort, I haven't felt unwell since.

"My beloved consort..." The emperor felt a dull ache in his heart. He could not allow anything to happen to either his consort or his child.

He dared not imagine the consequences of losing the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, I really like the things you gave me, but there are many of them that I've never seen before. Could you teach me how to use them later?"

Seeing that he was not as composed as usual, and his brows were still furrowed, Chu Yue could only change the subject. It seemed that the emperor was very worried about her.

"It's just for you to have some fun. If you don't know how to play, I'll teach you."

As they spoke, they returned to the palace. The emperor held her tightly, and Chu Yue leaned against him, letting him stroke her belly. She could feel the warmth of his palm even through her clothes.

"Did my son behave today?" The emperor began his daily routine of asking this question, treating it almost like a matter of state, asking it every single day.

Chu Yue: "He doesn't cause trouble."

What did you eat today?

"Bird's nest, plum cake, and some light meals."

It was all vegetarian, and the emperor frowned again: "My son doesn't want to eat?"

“My son said he doesn’t want to eat meat…” Chu Yue said earnestly.

emperor:"……"

"Really?" The emperor didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, how do you know it's a prince? What if it's a princess?" Chu Yue quickly changed the subject, otherwise she would have to eat a lot more.

"..."

"The child hasn't been born yet, so naturally I don't know. But whether it's a girl or a boy, they are both my children. You mustn't have any wild thoughts." The emperor explained seriously, fearing she might overthink things during her pregnancy.

Chu Yue nodded vigorously, indicating that she understood.

With this change of topic, the matter of eating was over, and Chu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"Imperial Physician, how is the Imperial Concubine?" The Emperor looked at Chu Yue's prominently protruding belly, his worry evident in his eyes.

Imperial Physician: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is about to give birth. Everything is normal at present. Just be careful during the delivery."

The emperor was never at ease; he was constantly on edge. Seeing the imperial concubine working so hard only made him more worried.

"Go down and keep a close eye on the Consort's condition," the Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Chu Yue leaned against the chaise longue and reached out to hold the emperor's hand. Upon seeing this, the emperor grasped her hand affectionately and said, "My beloved concubine."

"Your Majesty, I am not at ease with you like this." The emperor had dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night. He was busy with affairs during the day, and after finishing his work, he would stay by her side. He didn't sleep at night either. Sometimes when she woke up, the emperor was still watching her.

"My beloved concubine, let's only have this one child, and no more." The emperor's tone was filled with deep worry. He held the fate of everyone in his hands, yet he was powerless to do anything about it. This feeling was terrible.

"So Your Majesty...does that mean you don't intend to touch me?" Chu Yue asked plaintively.

"Of course not, how could I bear to?"

"Is Your Majesty making me drink a contraceptive soup?" Chu Yue was even more distressed.

"My beloved concubine, I cannot let you drink that harmful substance. I will drink it myself," the emperor hurriedly coaxed her, knowing that it would be bad for the pregnancy.

Chu Yue glared at the emperor with a mournful expression: "Your Majesty, how can your health be harmed? Let me drink it instead."

"I forbid it."

"So Your Majesty doesn't want to touch me anymore?"

emperor:"……"

"Has His Majesty found a new favorite?"

The more they talk, the more outrageous it gets!

"Are you kidding me? When have I ever had a new favorite?"

After the imperial concubine became pregnant, the emperor devoted all his attention to her, constantly worrying about her and being extremely careful in everything he did.

"Really?" Chu Yue asked again.

Helpless, the emperor reiterated, "Don't have any wild thoughts. I won't do that."

"Very well, Your Majesty, I trust you." Chu Yue did it on purpose, looking at the emperor's worried face as if he were about to give birth.

"Of course, you can only trust me." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the imperial concubine wasn't angry.

"Your Majesty, I am hungry. May I have something to eat?"

emperor:"……"

What would you like to eat?

"Either is fine, it depends on whether His Majesty will allow it?"

"..."

"Nonsense! I'll take you to have a meal." The emperor was almost laughing in anger. This ancestor was someone you couldn't hit or scold.

"Your Majesty, I thank you..."

Seeing her cunning look, the emperor pinched her in exasperation: "If you keep fooling around, I'll punish you."

Chu Yue moved closer to him, leaned in, and kissed him. After a while, they separated, and the emperor, in a pleasant mood, said, "My beloved concubine,"

"Your Majesty, I am truly hungry."

The emperor chuckled and carried her to have her meal.
