Section 134: The Winner of the Bet

Concubine Jia was disappointed. He complained to Baoning for not winning the bet. Concubine Jia was more disappointed that no one between her and Qingyi had won the bet, and the bet was not won by anyone. At least, someone should have won that bet.

“Mistress, I think the end result is good. The general's daughter girl did not enter anyone's harem,” said Baoning, while calming her employer who had since woken up unceasingly sighed.

“Indeed, but it feels unsatisfied if the bet ends in a draw,” Consort Jia said.

“Although you won the bet, I won't give you what you want either.”

Concubine Jia was aghast, then turned to look for the origin of the voice. Qingyi walked into the hall of her palace with light steps. His hand held a white box whose material was probably not of wood.

Concubine Jia thought the woman had come alone, but it turned out to be wrong. He saw King Changle behind him and walked no less lightly with great authority.

“Why? Didn't we have a deal?”

“I never agreed to that bet.”

Baili Qingchen who did not understand the direction of the two women's conversation could only frown. Qingyi did not tell anything about the bet, she herself did not find out. However, Baili Qingchen was so curious about the bet.

What bet could make her Empress Princess have to take out a precious medicine if she loses?

“What do you mean?” tanyanya interrupted the conversation.

“Didn't he tell you? We bet on which harem Zhao Ping’er will enter,” Consort Jia replied.

Jesus, that concubine doesn't know the situation!

Baili Qingchen was quite sensitive when it came to harems, but the empress was actually playing around and making it a betting object! Qingyi did not dare to look back, and she felt her back as if it was being pierced by the sharp gaze of Baili Qingchen.

Concubine Jia just realized she made a mistake. The atmosphere within his aura slowly felt gloomy. “Ah, it's over. After all, none of us have won, isn't that so Princess Empress?”

Qingyi just kept quiet, she was unwilling to speak up and made Baili Qingchen angry again. Concubine Jia pretended to be fine, the look on her face trying to be made as calm as possible. If he knew that King Changle would come early, he might be able to prepare himself and resist the urge to talk about this bet.

But it's too late. It is better to go forward against the wind than to retreat into the abyss. “Princess Empress, although we don't bet, can you tell me why you won't give me the medicine?”

“Because you don't need it.”

Concubine Jia was aghast.

“Ah? Why?”

“You are pregnant. Just need inspection to make sure it.”

Concubine Jia and Baoning widened their eyes. Baili Qingchen had also acted the same, but her self-control was faster.

The queen gave him a surprise so many times. She easily knows a woman who is pregnant without holding hands or checking her pulse.

Consort Jia's heart was flowery. But, this is a big thing. He had to ascertain the truth over Qingyi's statement. “Baoning, quickly call a healer here!”

Baoning nodded with teary eyes. Before the servant actually left, Qingyi first stopped him and told him to remain silent.

She then gave a pregnancy test kit in the form of a white testpack. Concubine Jia did not know what it was, its shape was strange.

“How to use it?” ask Concubine Jia.

“You just need to piss,” Qingyi replied.

“Princess Empress, isn't this a bit inappropriate?” he asked again while glancing at Baili Qingchen.

Baili Qingchen only cleared a small stir in reaction to her empress' words.

“What are you afraid of? King Changle was not a taboo against things like this. Just obey my words.”

Concubine Jia had no intention of resisting anymore, and she went with Baoning to the back of the palace. After a few minutes, Consorts Jia and Baoning had already returned. He handed the testpack back to Qingyi. Actually he was a bit uncomfortable, because he usually used the potty to urinate.

Qingyi nodded lightly upon seeing the results. “Two blue lines. Okay, you're pregnant.”

Concubine Jia almost jumped in joy if Baoning did not prevent her. His eyes were teary, almost crying. In the end, the moment he had waited for so many years finally arrived.

Concubine Jia had long craved for a child, not just to secure a position, it was also because she was very fond of children. After years of hard work, he got results.

Baili Qingchen was attracted to the small object in Qingyi's hands. It was so magical, it could confirm whether a woman was pregnant or not.

It felt more practical and faster than calling a healer to check. Qingyi glanced at him with the corner of her eyes, she did not like the curious manner of Baili Qingchen yet her expression remained annoying.

“Not really. It's just that the results can be known faster,” said Qingyi.

“Then, what does it mean if the line is red?” ask Baili Qingchen again.

“That means no pregnancy.”

Baili Qingchen nodded in understanding. She had dreamed that if Qingyi was pregnant, the woman would also use the object to check on her. There was no need to bother summoning an imperial physician and making it a big thing that the palace and the entire residence fussed over.

“Princess Empress, why can you have such a great thing?” Concubine Jia asked her where she got her very practical pregnancy test kit from. Qingyi did not tell him, she simply said, “I am great at everything.”

“Do not tell anyone about your pregnancy,” Qingyi said after Consort Jia calmed down a little.

“Why?”

“If you want your baby to survive, follow my orders. Ask the Emperor not to play too often and be too strong.”

Qingyi, even though she didn't really consider Consort Jia an ally, she still couldn't close one eye. Concubine Jia did provide him with great help lately, although they had been at odds but all of that had passed.

Concubine Jia has also behaved well and respected her, although sometimes she feels uncomfortable with her presence.

Her pregnancy had certainly indeed met Consort Jia's own expectations. However, if the news of her pregnancy spread too quickly, it will endanger her and her baby. Emperor Baili's harem was filled with desperate women. They would not let someone go easily.

Especially the person named Liu Erniang who was now hostile to Consort Jia. This cunning and spiteful Liu Erniang would be agitated to death if he knew his competitors had found their way first than he did. Liu Erniang will not let Consort Jia deliver her baby safely.

Imperial physicians were also unbelievable. They are easily bribed and easily mortgage their loyalty and honesty.

They could have mixed something at someone's behest in exchange for pieces of silver and gold, then disguised the accident for other reasons. Qingyi did not want to be bothered if Consort Jia took the risk.

Concubine Jia disturbs understand. He had just come to his senses with the intent of Qingyi's words. Right, you better not tell anyone else first. The situation in the harem is now in chaos.

He couldn't let anyone else get a chance to drop and make him lose a child. Concubine Jia held onto her stomach, her eyes back in tears. “I will obey your orders, Princess Empress.”

Qingyi nodded in satisfaction. Then, he reopened the box, took out blood supplements, pregnant women's milk, and some other necessities. “Good. You can't tell anyone, including the Emperor, until your fetus is stable. I'll keep an eye on you.”

“But, these things, for what?” concubine Jia asked while pointing to the needs of pregnant women issued by Qingyi.

“Maintain the health of mother and child,” Qingyi replied.

Concubine Jia once again nodded. Qingyi wrote down some things Consort Jia should not do during pregnancy.

In addition, he also wrote down some recipes for herbal medicine fetal boosters, in addition to supplement added blood and milk pregnant women. Qingyi also asked Consort Jia to use her family's solemn healer in order to maintain her confidentiality and condition.

Concubine Jia was very grateful to Qingyi and Baili Qingchen. His decision to become an ally of Princess Empress Changle and walk side by side with King Changle's mansion earned him an enormous blessing. He had Baoning bring him the best freshly brewed tea and he served it to the great couple.

“I've got my wish. Then, when will you fulfill King Changle's wish?” concubine Jia asked suddenly.

Qingyi felt this question was ambiguous.

“What do you want?” Qingyi instead asked Baili Qingchen.

Baili Qingchen did not respond, she pretended to pour and inhaled the aroma of tea. Concubine Jia chuckled, this great woman is indeed insensitive!

“Don't you feel that King Changle wants a child too? He was a few years older than the Emperor. The Emperor was already close to having two children, but King Changle did not even have a baby. Isn't that unfair?”

“Uhuk-uk...”.

The tea that was already in his mouth was almost spewed out again in shock. Qingyi hurriedly swallowed it, then rubbed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. He stared in horror at Baili Qingchen who was still inhaling the aroma of tea without drinking it. His face turned red as his mind wandered.

“I'll go. Remember to ask the Emperor not to overplay.”

Qingyi got up, turned around, then walked out of the palace with extremely quick steps. Baili Qingchen followed him without drinking his tea. Concubine Jia chuckled as she watched the misbehavior of Princess Empress and King Changle. He looked at Baoning, then said in a low tone of voice, "Baoning, the winner of the bet is actually Princess Empress. He did not fight to win or lose. He just smashed it easily."
