Chapter 109 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 9

As early as the third night, Hongli went to the main courtyard and officially consummated his marriage with Langya. From then on, the daily routine in Prince Bao's mansion became that Qingying spent the most time with Hongli during the day, and Xiyue spent more time with him at night. The first and fifteenth days of the month were all Langya's days. Apart from that, Hongli would occasionally visit Fucha Chuying.

The days passed uneventfully. Not long after, Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin entered the mansion. However, Xiyue's favor towards her remained the same as before. Instead, Qingying's days were less spent together.

It's not that Hongli hasn't tried with Qingying these days, but it always fails prematurely. If it weren't for the fact that there has been no improvement after so many attempts, Xiyue would have felt that the gold coins she spent were not worth it.

Fortunately, after many attempts, Hongli finally gave up and started a platonic relationship with Qingying. However, Qingying was not anxious, but Arruo was.

That day, Hongli had dinner with Qingying again and then left. Seeing Hongli leaving without staying the night, Ah Ruo couldn't help but ask Qingying, "Princess, why doesn't the prince stay the night again? Why don't you stay for a while? If this goes on, when will you be able to get pregnant?"

Some time ago, Fu Cha Chu Ying reported her pregnancy and was officially promoted from a concubine to a princess and joined the team of paying respects. Seeing that Fu Cha Chu Ying's status and position rose with her pregnancy, the women in Prince Bao's mansion began to seek pregnancy. Except for Xiyue, not only Langya, the wife who wanted to give birth to a legitimate eldest son, but even Su Lujun and Chen Wanyin, who had just entered the mansion, began to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

Qingying was also anxious in her heart, but on the surface she still looked calm and believed that as long as Hongli's heart was with her, the child would be born sooner or later. Arruo didn't know that the physical communication between Hongli and Qingying had always been bad. She only felt that Qingying's love for her was unstable based on the days Hongli stayed overnight. She was eager for Qingying to get pregnant, and it would be best if she could give birth to Hongli's eldest son, so that Qingying's position could be stabilized.

"Princess, why aren't you in a hurry at all? Princess Fucha is four months pregnant. If she gives birth to the prince's eldest son, maybe the prince will submit a memorial to appoint her as a concubine."

"The prince only has two concubines. If you are pregnant, the other concubine will definitely be yours."

When Qingying heard A Ruo mention the concubine, her eyes wavered. She had always believed that she was worthy of being Prince Bao's legitimate wife, but now she was just a little princess, which already hurt her self-esteem. If she was suppressed by Fu Cha Chu Ying again, she would really not be able to bear it.

"But, Hongli and I have not been able to consummate our marriage. How can I say this?" Qingying was helpless. She could not tell anyone the secret hidden in her heart. She could only think of persuading Hongli to see a doctor the next time Hongli came.

Not long after, Fu Cha Langya found out that she was one month pregnant. Hongli was very happy. He knew that the emperor liked legitimate sons, so he also hoped that Langya could give birth to a legitimate son for him.

On the other side, Fu Cha Chu Ying was listening with a grim expression to the servants reporting the news of Fu Jin's pregnancy. He forced a smile and said words of congratulations, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, fearing that Fu Jin would target his belly after she became pregnant.

It has to be said that Langya was very tempted when Su Lian persuaded her to take action on the baby in Chu Ying's belly. However, she was afraid of being rejected by Hongli after being discovered, so she did not dare to take action. Su Lian did not dare to act on her own and could only retreat unwillingly.

After the Linglingxiang incident, Su Lian still went to find Fucha Fujin. Fucha Fujin cursed Xiyue inwardly, then came up with another vicious plan and asked Su Lian to do it, and asked Su Lian not to tell Langya. Su Lian hesitated for a long time, but finally listened to Fucha Fujin.

After that, during every visit, Su Lian put a lot of contraceptive drugs in the tea served in the main courtyard. In the end, Fucha Fujin still didn't dare to directly give the sterilization drugs. The palace fights in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace were all relatively low-level. Xiyue didn't drink the tea Su Lian served the first time, but the other women who paid their respects drank it without any precautions.

The reason why Fu Cha Chu Ying was able to get pregnant was probably because she was a concubine and could not come to pay respects, so she escaped the disaster.

Seeing that the drugging had not been discovered, Su Lian became more and more courageous. She was very dissatisfied with herself for ignoring Fu Cha Chu Ying and letting her get pregnant. Now that Lang Ya is pregnant, Su Lian feels that the child in Fu Cha Chu Ying's belly has taken away the status of the eldest son in Lang Ya's belly. She wants to get rid of Fu Cha Chu Ying's belly, but Lang Ya is too timid and unwilling to do it. Seeing that she could not persuade her, Su Lian went to find Fu Cha Fu Jin again.

This time, Lady Fucha did not agree with Su Lian's idea as Su Lian had expected. Instead, she said that the child born by Fucha Chuying was also of the Fucha family's blood. She would let the doctor take a look in a few months. If Langya was pregnant with a boy, she would find a way to kill Fucha Chuying with one body. If Langya was pregnant with a girl, she would kill Fucha Chuying, kill the mother and keep the child, and adopt the prince's eldest son.

Su Lian did not listen to Langya, but she strictly followed Fu Cha Fu Jin's words. When Langya was five months pregnant, Su Lian learned from the doctor that Langya was most likely carrying a girl in her belly, and because Langya was overworked, the fetus was unstable and would be weak even if born.

Su Lian began to plan for Fu Cha Chu Ying to raise the fetus. In two months, Fu Cha Chu Ying was due to give birth, and the doctor could have already seen the gender of the fetus from an eight-month-old belly. This time, with the advice of Fu Cha Fujin, and Jin Yuyan not entering the mansion yet, Su Lian had already used the method of food incompatibility in the plot.

Xiyue knew Su Lian's actions clearly, but no one here had any relationship with Xiyue, so Xiyue was too lazy to remind them. As for Yonghuang in Fu Cha Chu Ying's belly, Xiyue had no sympathy at all. In the plot, Yonghuang would rather choose Qingying than accept herself. Presumably, if he still had memories of his previous life, he would not want her help at this moment, right?

Soon Fu Cha Chu Ying gave birth. On the day of delivery, in order to show her virtue, Langya endured the pain of waiting outside Chu Ying's room even though she was not feeling well. Su Lian, who was standing by, was not yet fully experienced at that time. When she heard the doctor say that Chu Ying had a large fetus and a difficult delivery, she occasionally felt a little guilty. Fortunately, there were not many people of high level in the entire Prince Bao's harem, and no one noticed Su Lian's guilt.

Fu Cha Chu Ying eventually died of dystocia as Su Lian had expected, and the child she gave birth to had some brain problems due to being held back for too long, but it was not noticeable yet.

Hongli was very happy when he learned that Fucha Chuying had given birth to his eldest son. When he heard that Chuying had died, Hongli was a little sad. He ordered his servants to bury Chuying properly and then began to deal with the issue of raising his eldest son.

Su Lian tried to persuade Langya to take over the task of raising the prince's eldest son, but Langya refused. Hongli originally wanted Langya to raise the child, but when he turned to look at Langya and saw her bulging belly, he instantly realized that Langya was in poor health and could not help him raise his eldest son, so he turned his attention to other women.

Before Hongli could speak to choose Xiyue, Qingying suddenly spoke up: "The little prince lost his mother at birth, and his life story is the same as yours. When Qingying sees the little prince, she can't help but think of yours when he was a child."

Hongli in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace actually despised his background very much. Now that Qingying told his story of losing his mother at birth in public, Hongli almost lost his composure.
