After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

The sun sets over the western mountains, the clouds are dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the mountains are stacked, quiet and magnificent.

At this time, Emperor Jiaqing was still discussing matters with Mr. Jiang, the cabinet scholar, in his study, when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Jiaqing looked at Eunuch Wei at the door, his voice a little unhappy.

He and Mr. Jiang were discussing official matters and were suddenly interrupted, so he was inevitably unhappy.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhaoyi would like to see you." Eunuch Wei lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late now, so I won't disturb you. We will discuss the details another day." Mr. Jiang stood up, glanced at the sky outside, and then said to Emperor Jiaqing.

After Master Jiang's reminder, Emperor Jiaqing was shocked to realize that the sky had darkened and the sun had set.

He was discussing things with Mr. Jiang and forgot to pay attention to the time.

I didn't expect time to fly by so quickly.

Thinking that he had promised Jiang Wan to go over to her place during dinner time, he did not stay with Mr. Jiang, but nodded to him and said, "That's fine, Jiang Aiqing will go back first."

When Mr. Jiang left, he met Zhang Zhaoyi who was waiting outside, so he bowed to him.

"I am here to see Empress Zhaoyi."

"Master Jiang, no courtesy." The other party was a bachelor of the cabinet. Zhang Zhaoyi naturally recognized him, so she nodded towards him.

At this time, Eunuch Wei came out and said respectfully to Zhang Zhaoyi: "Your Majesty, your Majesty allows you to come in."

After hearing Eunuch Wei's words, Zhang Zhaoyi didn't care about Mr. Jiang on the side, and walked inside with a happy face.

Seeing Zhang Zhaoyi come in, Emperor Jiaqing asked before she could speak: "What is the reason why my beloved concubine came to me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhaoyi said: "I'm here to invite your Majesty. Yesterday's hunting, my nephew hunted a deer. He sent me a deer leg. I asked the imperial chef to make roast venison and invited your Majesty." Come and taste it.”

Yesterday's hunting competition, Zhang Zhaoyi's nephew, Zhang Shengbin, the young master of Jiangjun Mansion, was also among the participants.

Although Zhang Shengbin is only a fifteen-year-old boy, he comes from a family of generals. He has practiced martial arts with General Zhang since he was a child, and his archery skills are very good.

Yesterday, due to the assassination of Emperor Jiaqing, the competition was terminated, but by that time, all the players participating in the competition had already started hunting. Zhang Shengbin's archery skills were not bad, so it was normal for him to hunt prey.

Although venison is a rare thing, as an emperor, Emperor Jiaqing had never eaten anything good, and he didn't pay much attention to appetite.

Thinking that he had promised Jiang Wan to visit her when she wanted dinner, but if dinner time had already arrived, he thought of sending Zhang Zhaoyi away quickly so that he could go to Jiang Wan, so he refused and said, "Thank you, my dear concubine." I have good intentions, but I’m afraid it will ruin my concubine’s good intentions. I have important things to do, so I don’t have time. I’m afraid I won’t have this good fortune today.”

Hearing Emperor Jiaqing's words, Zhang Zhaoyi could hardly maintain the smile on her face. She didn't expect that she would come to invite him in person, but was rejected.

"Then let's wait another day. I won't disturb Your Majesty." Although Zhang Zhaoyi was disappointed in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, still wearing a decent smile.

However, Zhang Zhaoyi did not expect that Emperor Jiaqing, who had just told her that he had something important to do, walked out the door and went to Jiang Wan next door.

"Your Majesty, didn't the Emperor say that he was not free? Why did he go to Concubine Hui?" Bi Lan, Zhang Zhaoyi's eldest maid, looked at the side hall where Jiang Wan lived and said to Zhang Zhaoyi beside her.

Zhang Zhaoyi and her maids left the place where Emperor Jiaqing lived, but they didn't expect that as soon as they left, Emperor Jiaqing followed him out.

Because they walked slowly, they didn't go far. It was for this reason that they saw Emperor Jiaqing entering Jiang Wan's residence.

"You also said that you can't go to me if you have something important to do. The emperor has no time! I'm afraid he just wants to accompany that little bitch Jiang Wan and refuse my words!" Zhang Zhaoyi said angrily.

She didn't expect that she had worked so hard to prepare a bunch of meals, and even invited the emperor in person, but she didn't expect that he would reject her for Jiang Wan.

I originally thought that Jiang Wan was injured and could not serve the emperor, so I would have a chance, but now it seems that even if the other party is injured, he will come to compete with her for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Bi Lan was almost frightened when she heard Zhang Zhaoyi's words and hurriedly reminded her.

Bilan looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one around.

"Mother, we are still outside now. If anyone hears that you are disrespectful to Concubine Hui, I am afraid it will cause trouble."

Zhang Zhaoyi has always been used to doing whatever she wants. When has she ever been so aggrieved? If this had been in the past, she would have rushed out regardless of seeing Emperor Jiaqing entering Jiang Wan's place. After being demoted, her temper became much more restrained. She knew Jiang Wan's position in Emperor Jiaqing's heart now, so she didn't dare to act recklessly.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Bilan was indeed right. Jiang Wan was not someone she could bully at will. The other party now has a higher status than her and is more favored than her. If someone hears this, they will only say that she has no respect and will bring trouble to herself.

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhaoyi angrily tossed her sleeves and left.

Seeing this, Bilan hurriedly followed.
