Chapter 362: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 10
The two of them played around for most of the night, and it was not until dawn that Emperor Jing quietly returned to his bedroom.

After the morning court session, the decree of reward came down.

One of the letters was to Concubine Yun, which was a routine reward after she had slept with the emperor. The reward was ordinary, just some cloth and jewelry, which showed Emperor Jing's attitude.

The second letter was an imperial decree to confer a higher position on Yu Yao.

Emperor Jingdi thought about how the two of them had quarreled until almost dawn last night, so he specifically instructed Lu Xi to wait until she woke up before announcing the decree and not to disturb her sleep.

This man may be a playboy, but at least he knows how to be considerate to women, so he's not that bad.

When Yu Yao woke up, it was already noon. Just as she was about to wash up, she caught a glimpse of four dishes and a soup on the table in the room.

Emerald shrimp, pipa duck, steamed sea bass, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and a bowl of bamboo fungus chicken soup, all steaming and fragrant.

Seeing this made her even hungrier and she couldn't help swallowing.

She hadn't eaten since last night, and had fought for half the night, so she was already starving.

Just as she was wondering who put this in her room, there was a knock on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."

She looked towards the door and was about to ask when she heard someone outside the door say, "Miss Yu, are you awake? If you are, come out and receive the order."

He recognized it was Lu Xi's voice and knew that an imperial decree had come down to confer a higher position on him.

"I'm awake. Please wait for a moment, father-in-law."

She said something loudly to the door and hurriedly got ready. She had just gotten up and hadn't even combed her hair yet.

When I finished packing and went out, I saw Lu Xi standing at the door, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and smiling.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yao hurriedly knelt in the yard, lowered her head and listened to the imperial edict.

Seeing her kneeling, Lu Xi slowly unfolded the scroll and read aloud: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Yu Shiyao is gentle and virtuous, with outstanding talents and feelings, and deeply favored by me. I hereby confer the title of noble lady, Qin, and grant her the east side hall of Yihe Palace. I hope you will abide by the palace rules, work diligently, and show the royal grace. I decree this."

Yu Yao had known that she would be conferred the title of a noble lady, but she did not expect to have another title. It was a pleasant surprise.

But what the hell is this title Qin?

Qin means to penetrate and soak, symbolizing that a woman's beauty nourishes the heart like spring rain.

The title is good and the meaning is good too.

But for some reason, she always had inexplicable wrong thoughts and felt that this title was a bit dirty.

Perhaps she had been fooling around too much with Emperor Jing during this period, causing her thinking to become abnormal.

She shook her head, putting this thought behind her, and then kowtowed to express her gratitude, "I accept your order and thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

From concubine to imperial concubine, women call themselves concubines.

Only those who are above the rank of concubine are qualified to call themselves concubines.

There are things to be careful about with these things. If you call them by the wrong names and someone catches you, there will inevitably be another storm.

Lu Xi handed the scroll to Yu Yao and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lady Qin. The side hall of Yihe Palace has been prepared, and the maids responsible for serving you are already waiting there. The emperor has specifically instructed that if you need anything, just let me know and I will make arrangements."

Yu Yao took the imperial edict, looked at Lu Xi gratefully, and handed him a purse. "Thank you for your trouble, eunuch. These are for tea. Please thank the emperor on my behalf."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will tell the emperor on your behalf."

Lu Xi looked at the purse stuffed into his hand, but did not refuse and put it in his arms.

As the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, he was not short of silver, but he felt at ease accepting it.

What's more, he could see that this Concubine Qin had a bright future, and the good days were yet to come.

With this in mind, he wanted to do Concubine Qin a favor and said, "The head of Yihe Palace is Concubine Zhuang. She is a well-known kind person in the harem and never makes enemies with anyone. After Concubine Qin moves in, you can spend more time with her."

The so-called kindness meant that she was not favored and had no children, but Concubine Zhuang came from a good family and had a high status, so no one dared to bully her.

When Concubine Qin first entered the harem and was promoted from a palace maid to a concubine, it was inevitable that she would be envied and excluded. If she had Concubine Zhuang to protect her, her life would be much easier.

Yu Yao understood Lu Xi's intention, and her smile became more sincere. "Thank you for the reminder, eunuch."

Lu Xi smiled slightly, and the two of them understood each other tacitly. After exchanging a few words of greeting, they turned and left.

She went back into the house, filled her stomach, and began to pack up.

She had received a lot of rewards and things during this period. Fortunately, she had space, so she could just throw the things in there.

But in order to conceal her identity, she still held a package in her hand. Thinking that the mourning period was over and she had just slept with him last night, she thought she could get pregnant, so she swallowed a dragon and phoenix pill.

As for not being able to raise children due to your low status, there is no need to worry about that at all.

There is no such rule in the Daqian harem. No matter whether it is a prince or a princess, as long as the child is born, he or she can stay with the mother, which is considered to be more humane.

But it was also very cruel. Concubines without children had to be buried with the emperor after his death.

Whether you are a prince or a princess, as long as you have a child, you don’t have to die.

This also led to the fact that the kidnapping of children was the most serious problem in the Daqian harem throughout the dynasties.

It is also very easy to remove the mother and keep the child.

Then she thought about the fact that Emperor Jing still had no children.

"Tongtong, why has Emperor Jing never had a child? Was he poisoned like Ye Beichen?"

She sat on the bed and asked the system in her heart.

Rong Yuan is an extremely romantic man, with countless beauties around him. He can be said to be reveling in pleasure every night, but he has a harem without a single child, which clearly shows that he has a health problem.

Either he was poisoned or he was born with weak sperm.

"He is not poisoned, he is just born with weak sperm." said the system.

Yu Yao frowned slightly. Being born with weak sperm only means that the chance of pregnancy is small, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of pregnancy at all.

Is Rong Yuan really so weak that she is completely incapable of getting pregnant?

The system seemed to know what he was thinking and explained, "That's not the case. Although Emperor Jing's sperm is weak, he can still get pregnant. It's just that the probability is small, and because of the weak quality, the fetus is not easy to survive. Concubine Yun is the best example."

"Yunpin? Is she the concubine who slept with me last night? Has she ever been pregnant?"

She raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked in her heart.

"Well, Concubine Yun was the only woman around Emperor Jing who had ever been pregnant. Unfortunately, the embryo did not develop well and was destined to die. The child died within three months."

The system did not hide anything and spoke very naturally.

Yu Yao nodded slightly, gently stroking her belly with both hands, with a slight frown between her brows.

She has already taken the Dragon and Phoenix Pill, and in two or three months, the news of her pregnancy will be announced.

Not to mention whether anyone would harm her during her pregnancy, once her child is born, there will definitely be many concubines fighting for it.

No, it was all the women in the harem, including the queen, who were fighting for it.

If for no other reason, it was just to avoid being buried alive with Emperor Jing after his death.

Even though she had experienced so many dimensions, she was not confident enough to deal with the women in the harem fighting for her child.

If more women in the harem were pregnant, people wouldn't just focus on her belly.

In this case, let this plane be like the Goddess of Childbirth.

Anyway, she had already planned to give up, raise the child well, and live safely until Emperor Jing passed away, then her mission would be accomplished.

She thought of Concubine Yun's service last night, and said, "Guan, give Concubine Yun a fertility pill."

She originally wanted to talk about the elixir that could give birth to a girl, but she thought that a princess was not as good as a prince. What would she do if someone instead of snatching Yunpin's daughter came to snatch her son?
As for whether her son will have more competitors in the future, she doesn't care at all.

If you want to be an emperor, you have to fight for it yourself. If you don’t have that ability, you might as well be a prince and live a life of wealth and peace.

The system doesn’t quite understand the host’s train of thought. Why would he give his son to another woman?
But thinking about the damnable system of burying people alive with the dead in the Daqian Kingdom, I suddenly understood the reason.

After all, the host is still afraid of death and does not want to watch the innocent women in the harem die.

After the system understood Yu Yao's actions, it simply gave Yunpin a fertility pill.

After a while.

"Okay, the fertility pill has been injected into Yunpin's body."

The system said.

Yu Yao smiled slightly, looking forward to the scene where the harem was filled with princes and princesses.

If each concubine gave birth to one child, and there were dozens or even hundreds of children, when Emperor Jingdi passed away, there would not be a single one buried alive with him, and this damnable and cruel system could be abolished.
