My Wife is a Psychic

176 Don’t Get Too Fat
“This Zhao family is really good at scheming. When Zhao Panpan was young, they sent her to the palace to get favored by the empress. After learning all these skills, she entered the palace to compete with the empress for the empress’ favor when she grew up.” Lady Xin covered her mouth and chuckled. Her slightly bulging stomach made her look pregnant. The concubines around her looked at her enviously. Now, the emperor only had a few children, and his only two young princes had been taken away by Miss Fang Yu. It was said that the young princes had run away with her willingly. They had probably been brainwashed by Miss Fang Yu. Thus, the emperor would be even happier since Lady Xin was pregnant.

“The current head lady of the Zhao family is called Xiao Meili, right? If she wasn’t powerful, she wouldn’t have been able to anger Zhao Hongwei’s wife to death and force the first son, Zhao Ruifeng, to take over the Zhao family. Now, even the empress has fallen into Xiao Meili’s trap.” Beauty Wu’s voice was timid, and the way she looked at the other concubines was also timid.

The concubines all laughed. Who knew what they were thinking? Previously, every time they went to the empress’ palace to pay their respects, Zhao Panpan was almost always there. Even they had to please Zhao Panpan a lot. Now, the person they had once tried to please was actually competing with them for the empress’ favor.

“It’s best for everyone to speak less. I heard that Zhao Panpan was personally conferred the title of Pure Consort by the emperor and is at the same level as most girls here. In this harem, only the empress can suppress Zhao Panpan. Seeing Zhao Panpan enter the palace to sleep with the emperor despite her many years of friendship with the empress, we can see her character. There are some things that we should say less to prevent trouble from arising from our mouths.” Consort De had been so worried recently that her hair was about to turn white. She had no choice because one of the young princes that Fang Yu had kidnapped was her own son! Her son had been weak and sickly since he was a child. She had raised him with great difficulty until he was five or six years old, but in the end, he had run away with someone else. Other people might not know, but as his mother, she knew that although her five-year-old son could not read much, he still wrote and drew a letter for her. Of course, she did not dare to read the letter aloud. It was because it said, “Father only likes Brother Crown Prince. Sister Fang Yu said that father might have picked me up from the toilet. I’m going to find my father. Mother, don’t worry. When I find my father, I’ll come back to reunite with you.”

This was probably what it meant when it was translated. Beside the drawing that represented the word ‘toilet’ was a large drawing of steaming feces. It was really amazing!

Two days ago, Consort De had gone to the imperial preceptor because she was worried about the young prince. The imperial preceptor had only said that this was her son’s destiny. If he obtained this destiny, he would probably live to be a hundred years old. Consort De was relieved. She had suffered a lot because of her son all these years. She had to be a vegetarian and recite scriptures every day to keep her son alive. Now, she did not want to fight for the empress’ favor and only wanted to protect her son as he grew up.

When everyone heard Consort De’s reminder, they all paused.

“Zhao Panpan is quite a smart person. To be honest, it’s fate that she’s suitable for the palace.” Someone laughed. Zhao Panpan had been in the empress’ palace for so many years, and as long as she had any thoughts about the emperor, it would be very easy for her to do anything.

“I heard that apart from Zhao Panpan, there’s also a girl called Zheng Shan’er, who was given the title of the Lady of Bright Deportment. The emperor also values her a lot. She’s an interesting girl.” The concubines were all smiling, but their hearts were filled with hatred. They could not touch Zhao Panpan, so they could only take it out on Zheng Shan’er.

After the imperial decree was issued, there was an uproar inside and outside the imperial palace.

“General Zhao has been helping to find the young princes these few days. These are the pastries that the general asked me to give you.” Zhao Ruifeng and Jiang Xi were going to get married in half a month. Although Zhao Ruifeng was busy looking for the young princes, he did not forget to find some good food and fun things for Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi’s face had become rounder after being taken care of by Zhao Ruifeng. Last month, Zhao Ruifeng even sent her a roasted suckling pig, and it was very fragrant.

“Sister, you should eat less. I’m afraid that brother-in-law won’t be able to carry you when you get married.” Jiang Shan was eating big mouthfuls of food while persuading Jiang Xi to eat less.

Jiang Xi’s face darkened.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. You can eat. Sister, you’ll look good even if you get fat. My sister is the prettiest in the world. It’s fine. Even if your brother-in-law can’t carry you, we can still carry you. Eh? Sister, why are you crying? Don’t cry, eat…” Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Xi, who had suddenly rushed out of the door, with a dumbfounded expression.
