Chapter 282: Hongli, the matchmaker; Concubine Xin competes for favor with her pregnancy

Jinzhong (Ling Yunche) brought Hongli a new cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, this is the new tea that the Empress asked me to prepare for you. Please try it."

Hongli picked up the teacup and took a sip. His frown finally relaxed. "Mmm, it's sweet at first, and mellow aftertaste. The Queen is so thoughtful."

"In fact, in the eyes of the servants, we are particularly envious of you and the Queen."

Hongli raised his eyes: "Oh? Are you envious too?"

Jinzhong (Ling Yunche): "Of course, you and the Empress are childhood sweethearts. I envy you so much, but I am a rootless person, so I can only envy you."

Hongli: "Well, speaking of which, I have already granted a marriage to Jin Baodu. What about you? Do you have someone you like?" Apart from managing government affairs and reviewing memorials, this was his only hobby that day.

Speaking of which, Hongli should be the biggest matchmaker in the Forbidden City. He is particularly willing to help others find love and never gets tired of it.

Jinzhong (Ling Yunche) knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, look at my words. I just want to serve you well and have no intention of getting married."

"You guys are used to being greasy all day long. Someone should take charge."

Jinzhong chuckled and stood aside without saying anything.

Concubine Chun was just wondering as she watched the emperor leave in a huff when Ke Xin came in and said, "My dear, Concubine Xin made a big mistake today."

Concubine Chun asked, "What happened? I saw that the Emperor left in anger."

Ke Xin nodded: "That's right, Xinpin said she was always anxious and had stomach discomfort. At that time, she heard that the emperor was in Yikun Palace. Fortunately, the queen was generous enough to let the emperor come to see her."

"Also, is Concubine Xin okay?"

Ke Xin: "She's fine, she just ate too much for dinner and has a bloated stomach. The Emperor didn't want to come in the first place, but now he's so angry his face has turned green!"

Concubine Chun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, "She can figure that out. It's like everyone has been pregnant before, and she's the most delicate one."

Ke Xin smiled: "That's right, but I don't know if she is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

"Both boys and girls are fine. They're my own children after all. I'll have a companion in this palace."

After saying that, Concubine Chun stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look and try to persuade her."

Ke Xin helped her to Xinpin's room.

"Sister Chun Guifei is here? Come and sit down."

"You are so polite. Please lie down quickly. I came to check on you. I heard that you are not feeling well."

Xinpin sighed: "I just ate a little too much for dinner. The imperial physician has already come."

"Well, I'm glad you're alright. I just saw that the Emperor seemed a little angry."

Concubine Xin pursed her lips and said, "It's my fault. I don't know why I felt unwell and alarmed the emperor, which made him angry." She lowered her head as she spoke, seeming a little aggrieved.

Of course, Concubine Chun knew that she just wanted to use the child to keep Jun En, but she had miscalculated.

"You are picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!

The Emperor hates trouble the most. Just take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to more children for the royal family. If you can give birth safely, your favor will not end."

Xinpin pouted: "I know I was wrong."

Concubine Chun patted her hands and said, "Alright, just focus on taking care of your baby from now on. The Emperor won't forget us."

She originally said this to comfort herself. They were in the same boat, so how could she laugh at anyone else's joke?

Rong Pei asked Ruyi why she wanted to drive the emperor away.

Ruyi smiled and didn't answer.
