Chapter 1061 Shen Zhinian plans to have a second child (2 reward points plus more)
But what Shen Zhinian values most is——
Assisting in managing the six palaces is the key stepping stone for concubines in the harem to the pinnacle of power!
The material things and preferential treatments received are only secondary; the main point is to pave the way for becoming the queen!
Otherwise, Liu Shiqing would not have reacted so strongly when he was deprived of the right to assist in managing the six palaces.
Shen Zhinian sat in the main seat, thinking carefully in his mind.
By this year's New Year's Eve, she had only been in the palace for more than two years. Under normal circumstances, if Nangong Xuanyu said that he wanted to make her an imperial concubine, it would definitely cause opposition from the ministers.
After all, there are many concubines in the harem who have more experience and better family background than Shen Zhinian.
However, Shen Zhinian has been in charge of the six palaces for so long, and has managed all matters in the palace in an orderly manner. This is her credit and capital!
But... Shen Zhinian thought about it carefully and felt that this was not enough.
She had finally won the emperor's heart step by step and made him consider her as his wife, so she had to make sure this was foolproof!
Now Shen Zhinian already has the Fourth Prince by her side, if she has another child... the matter will be settled!
Moreover... not only is the palace dangerous, but the road to succession is also a life-threatening one. If Ah Xu could have a brother or sister from the same mother, he would also be able to provide more help.
Blood ties are the deepest bond in the world. They will not be so lonely in the future.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhinian looked down at the contraceptive bracelet on her wrist, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment, she said to Xiao Mingzi, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Tang to come over."
"Yes!"
Soon, Tang Luochuan arrived.
Precious spices were burning in the incense burner in the main hall. Wisps of green smoke meandered in the setting sun that filtered through the carved window lattices, weaving the air into a hazy veil.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"
Tang Luochuan was wearing a brocade robe of an imperial physician. The dark patterns on the sleeves swayed slightly as he bowed, like a fish sinking to the bottom of the water, emitting a cold light.
His eyebrows and eyes were extremely handsome, but they were hidden by his drooping eyelids. His long eyelashes cast dark shadows under his eyes, as if covered by a layer of mist that could not be dissolved.
But his whole temperament was rather gloomy, which made his voice sound a bit deep.
Shen Zhinian said calmly: "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Chen!"
Tang Luochuan asked respectfully, "I wonder why the Queen summoned me here today?"
Shen Zhinian stroked the bracelet in her hand and said bluntly: "After I gave birth to the fourth prince, I don't want to get pregnant for the time being, so I asked you to make this bracelet for me."
"Now that I want to conceive an heir again, can I just pick it off?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were dark, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
He lowered his head, his tone remained calm, and said truthfully: "Your Highness, although this bracelet can prevent you from getting pregnant, it will not cause any harm to your body. Your physique is very easy to get pregnant, just take it off, and you will get what you want soon."
"However, to be on the safe side, I will prescribe another prescription to help you heal your body."
Shen Zhinian nodded and took off the bracelet in front of Tang Luochuan: "Then do as you say."
"Yes."
Tang Luochuan bowed and then walked out.
At this time, Fuqiu had just finished doing something and came back from outside, and met Tang Luochuan at the gate of Zhongcui Palace.
Only then did she realize that in the past, the figure of Doctor Tang could not help but appear in her mind.
But since when, the Queen did not summon Doctor Tang to Zhongcui Palace, she never thought of this person again...
When we met today, her heart was as calm as a deep well, without even a ripple.
Fuqiu bowed according to palace rules and said, "This servant greets Imperial Doctor Tang."
Tang Luochuan nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I heard that Miss Fuqiu is engaged to Zhou Hanlin?"
Speaking of this, Fuqiu's ears turned slightly red: "Yes."
Tang Luochuan said sincerely: "Congratulations."
"Thank you, Doctor Tang."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two separated without looking back.
The confidants already knew that Shen Zhinian was about to get pregnant again.
Madam Xiao nodded in agreement: "...The more children you have in the palace, the more favor you will receive. It would be good for you to have one more child."
Also... infants are prone to dying, even in the royal family. It is not enough for Her Majesty to have only one fourth prince.
Of course, even if this was true, Madam Xiao did not dare to say such unlucky words.
Nanny Lin smiled and said, "From now on, there will be someone to keep the Fourth Prince company."
Handan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Madam, do you like the prince or the princess?"
After all, the Queen already has four princes, wouldn’t it be better to have another little princess?
Shen Zhinian shook his head helplessly: "We haven't even started yet, why are you all so excited?"
Handan smiled and said, "Imperial Physician Tang has long said that Your Majesty has a constitution that makes it very easy for her to get pregnant. With Your Majesty's love for her, isn't it only a matter of time before she becomes pregnant with an heir to the throne?"
Shen Zhinian smiled slightly and felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.
Firstly, it can increase the chances of being promoted to Imperial Noble Consort on New Year's Eve.
Secondly, Concubine Chun in the palace is also pregnant, so people will not focus all their attention on her.
Thirdly, with Shen Zhinian's current identity, status and control over the harem, he can protect himself and his children.
Who knew that while they were talking, Xiao Zhouzi suddenly ran out with a serious look on his face, anxiously saying, "My queen, it's bad, Concubine Chun is in trouble!"
Shen Zhinian's face darkened: "What's going on?!"
Xiao Zhouzi said: "I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the people from Shuixi Pavilion just rushed to the Imperial Hospital and said that Concubine Chun was not well..."
Concubine Chun is pregnant, and this is a serious matter. Shen Zhinian is in charge of the six palaces, so naturally, he can't just sit back and watch.
She immediately stood up and walked out: "Send me the sedan chair."
"Yes!"
Although even if Concubine Chun gave birth to a child, she would not be able to inherit the throne, but having a child is better than having no child at all.
Therefore, many people in the palace were paying attention to Concubine Chun's pregnancy, and many people got the news immediately.
……
Changchun Palace.
Ruoli ran in from outside excitedly: "My queen, that's great, Concubine Chun is finally in trouble!"
"I have long said that there cannot be an heir of impure blood in the palace. I never thought that the heavens could no longer tolerate this!"
Concubine Zhuang frowned and gave Ruoli a warning look: "Be careful with your words!"
"The one in Concubine Chun's belly is also His Majesty's child. If your words were to get out, how many heads would be chopped off?!"
Ruoli finally reacted, and immediately turned pale with fright: "Yes..."
Concubine Zhuang then asked, "What happened to Concubine Chun?"
Ruoli shook her head: "As soon as I heard the news, I came to report to you immediately. It's not clear yet."
