Chapter 397 Care
"Your servant greets the Concubine Xian and the Fourth Princess. May the Concubine Xian be happy and may the Fourth Princess live long and healthy lives."
Zhang Deli said respectfully.
"Eunuch Zhang, what instructions does His Majesty have?"
Fu Mengli embraced her daughter, the fourth princess Qin Yuewei, and looked up at Zhang Deli.
"Your Majesty asks you to take care of Concubine Lan's baby for the time being." Zhang Deli licked his face and smiled very flatteringly.
"Alanruo is pregnant?" Fu Mengli asked lightly.
"Yes, Concubine Lan has just found out that she is one month pregnant." Zhang Deli nodded.
"Wait, Lanpin?"
"Because of the Thirteenth Prince's... incident, Concubine Lan was demoted by His Majesty, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in Wenming Palace must go to the Ye Ting.
Now, Concubine Lan has no one to take care of her... You see, which side hall should be cleaned up for Concubine Lan to stay in."
"Why don't you just ask the palace maids and eunuchs to go to the Ye Ting and assign some new people? Why do you have to go through all the trouble of coming to my Yu Tang Palace? If something goes wrong while moving around, who will be held responsible?"
Fu Mengli frowned, feeling reluctant.
His Majesty would never assign any new person to Concubine Lan. If Concubine Lan had not been lucky enough to be found to be pregnant, she would have been sent to the cold palace by now.
Zhang Deli muttered secretly in his heart.
"If anything happens, it's the retribution for Lady Lan's own lack of moral integrity. What does it have to do with Lady Xianfei?
His Majesty said that if Concubine Lan successfully gives birth to a royal heir in your place, then the royal heir will be registered under your name and be considered as your own.
If the heir is gone, it doesn't matter. Just think of it as your Majesty and your Majesty the Concubine having no fate with this child."
Fu Mengli nodded hesitantly.
"Does Lanpin know about this?"
In this case, the child was equivalent to being born by Alanruo for her and His Majesty.
The Thirteenth Prince was well-behaved, and had a pair of golden blue eyes that His Majesty loved. Now he has died young, and His Majesty is deeply saddened. If the prince that Alanruo gave birth to was like the Thirteenth Prince...
You may have.
"I understand what you mean. Before Concubine Lan gives birth to the heir, for the sake of Concubine Lan's feelings and the heir's health, I will definitely not let her know about this matter first. Don't worry."
If it was Concubine Xian's own people who leaked the matter first, it would have nothing to do with him.
"Alright, got it. I will have someone clean up the Huajing Pavilion in the west hall and let Lanpin stay there temporarily."
She originally thought that Concubine Lan would live in Wenming Palace soon after the palace maids and eunuchs were released from the Ye Ting, but now it seems that she will have to stay there until she gives birth.
Huajing Pavilion on the west side of the palace is some distance away from the east palace where she lives now, so it will not disturb her and her daughter's lives too much.
If Alanruo could be arranged in the nearest East Palace so that she could be taken care of nearby, she would rather not have the child.
"It all depends on your opinion, Madam. I will take my leave now."
Princess Qin Yue, who was playing the zither by herself, looked at Zhang Deli and his men as they left. "Mother, am I going to have a brother?"
"Do you like your younger brother?" Fu Mengli asked in surprise.
"The palace is full of sisters, which is boring. I want a brother more." The fourth princess Qin Yue wrinkled her nose slightly and shook her head.
"If the Fourth Princess had a younger brother, and His Majesty doted on him like he does the Thirteenth Prince, would she be sad?" Meihua on the side teased.
The Fourth Princess had complained to her once, but after being comforted by Concubine Xian, she never mentioned the matter again.
"I take my brother to see father every day. How can there be no place for me by father's side?" The fourth princess Qin Yue lowered her head slightly, raised her hand to pluck the strings of the zither, and smiled faintly.
