After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

Jiang Wan, who was far away in the capital at this time, didn't know that her brother Jiang Feng had decided to come to the capital to find her.

There were red lanterns hanging everywhere in the palace, which looked very festive, and the faces of the palace people were all filled with smiles.

Seeing that tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, everyone is naturally happy for such a festive day, because every new year and festival, they not only get extra meals, but most importantly, they also get a lot of rewards.

Every New Year's Eve, a palace banquet would be held in the palace, and those who could attend were all dignitaries and relatives of the emperor.

Now Jiang Wan's belly is just over six months old. It looks big and round. Maybe it's because of her petite body, so her belly looks particularly big. Ever since Aunt Gong came, she started to control Jiang Wan's belly. The diet is just to prevent the fetus in her belly from growing too big, so that she will not be prone to dystocia when she gives birth.

Jiang Wan had no experience before and didn't know how to control her diet. She always ate when she was hungry. After hearing what Grandma Gong said, she realized this problem, so she didn't dare to eat haphazardly anymore, but followed Gong's instructions. The recipe formulated by grandma has a fixed amount of food every day. She is afraid that the child in her belly will grow too big and she will be the one to suffer when the time comes.

There were a lot of people coming to the palace banquet. It was inevitable that accidents would happen due to the many eyes of these people. In addition, the banquet lasted for only an hour or two and could not end so quickly. Emperor Jiaqing was afraid that Jiang Wan would be bumped into by someone. Or maybe she was tired, so she sent someone over to inform her. If she didn't want to participate, she didn't have to go. There was no need to force herself.

Jiang Wan is not someone who likes to join in the fun, and if she appears in front of so many people with a big belly, she will definitely become the focus. Since the Jiaqing Emperor has allowed her not to go, she naturally does not plan to participate.

Just thinking that there were many people at the palace banquet, and that the person who had usurped her brother's fame might also come, she changed her mind.

That man was the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and he also had a sister who was a princess. I heard that he got good grades in the imperial examination and got the second-class Jinshi. Now he works in the Hanlin Academy and serves as the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Although that person was not qualified to attend the palace banquet held in the palace due to his official position, but based on his family background, he should be included in the invitation.

She wanted to see what the person who had usurped her brother's fame and caused so much misery for the Jiang family looked like. Did he look ferocious and vicious? Otherwise, how could he have done such a cruel thing? things to come.

Originally, the title of Jinshi and the position of editor of the Hanlin Academy should belong to her brother Jiang Feng, but because of that man, her brother lost everything that should have belonged to him. Not only that, he was also beaten severely. Now he is almost dead. It's been 20 years, and I don't know what my brother's condition is now.

As for why Jiang Wan knew so clearly, it was because she asked Xiao Xizi to secretly inquire about the information. If she wanted to take revenge, she naturally had to know everything about that person and keep an eye on him.

Just as Jiang Wan thought, she attracted everyone's attention as soon as she arrived. When they saw her, everyone's eyes fell on her.

No, to be precise, it was on her bulging belly.

Although Jiang Wan appeared in front of outsiders for the first time, everyone was familiar with her. After all, the concubines in the harem gave birth within a few months of pregnancy, but the child in her belly was still safe and sound. In fact, It is special and naturally attracts everyone's attention.

At first, they didn't pay much attention to Jiang Wan. After all, there were no concubines in the harem who were pregnant, but none of them could be saved. They also thought that the child in Jiang Wan's belly was the same. However, who knows, the child is getting older and older, but he is still doing well. Even Dr. He said that the child is developing well and is very healthy.

Dr. He is the dean of the Taiyuan Hospital and the person with the most skillful medical skills in the entire Taiyuan Hospital. Everyone still believes his words, and he does not dare to lie about this kind of thing.

The emperor originally planned to establish a prince, but suddenly changed his attitude, presumably because of the child in her belly.

If she really gave birth to a child and it was a prince, then the prince living in the prince's residence would be embarrassed. After all, the emperor had his own son, so how could he be willing to pass the throne to someone else.

The ministers also thought of this reason, so they did not dare to say anything during this period and continued to urge the emperor to establish a prince.

Everyone was waiting to see if the child in Jiang Wan's belly could be born safely, and whether the baby he would give birth to would be a little prince.

Among the people present, only Prince Yu's family and those who supported Prince Yu's Mansion least wanted the child in Jiang Wan's belly to be born.

This was the first time for Jiang Wan to appear in an event with so many people. Although she was a little nervous at first, she quickly calmed down.

"My lord, that is Liu Cong, the legitimate son of the Liu family." Although Jin Ping didn't know why Jiang Wan was interested in the legitimate son of the Liu Shangshu family, she didn't say much. After she discovered Liu Cong in the crowd, she got together Jiang Wan's side whispered softly.

Although the name Liu Cong has been recited hundreds of times in Jiang Wan's heart, she has never seen the other person's appearance.

Jiang Wan followed Jin Ping's line of sight and saw the young man sitting not far away.

The man was no older than his crown, with thin skin and tender flesh. At first glance, he looked like the kind of pampered and pampered nobleman.

Jiang Wan didn't expect that this man who looked like a human being would turn out to be such a ruthless person.

If he really knows people but not their hearts, maybe this kind of person is the kind of wolf in sheep's clothing, bright and shiny on the outside, but rotten on the inside.

Liu Cong was talking to the people around him at this time, but he felt as if someone was staring at him. However, he looked around and found nothing unusual. He just thought that he was worrying too much, so he stopped paying attention.

When Jiang Wan noticed Liu Cong looking over, she withdrew her gaze to avoid being discovered by him.

In fact, she wished she could rush down and stab Liu Cong to kill him. This was the man who almost beat her brother to death and broke her father's legs. He was the enemy of the Jiang family.

"Wanwan, don't be impulsive. The days are long and there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future." The system knew Jiang Wan's hatred for this person named Liu Cong and understood her very well, but it was not in a hurry to take revenge.

"I know." Jiang Wan naturally knew, but when he saw their family's enemy, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"My lord, are you okay?" Seeing Jiang Wan's face not looking well, Jin Ping asked with concern, "If you are not feeling well, please go and ask the emperor for permission. Let's go back first."

"I have nothing to do. There is no need to trouble the emperor." Jiang Wan rejected her kindness. The banquet had just begun and she left the party. It was somewhat bad, not to mention that she didn't feel any discomfort in her body. .

Although he didn't want to see Liu Cong again, which would affect his emotions, Jiang Wan couldn't help but peek at him several times.

What Jiang Wan didn't know was that although Emperor Jiaqing was talking to the ministers, his eyes would fall on her from time to time.

Although there were people taking care of Jiang Wan, he still didn't worry about Jiang Wan. After all, there were so many people at the banquet, and he was worried that Jiang Wan would be accidentally bumped into.

Emperor Jiaqing noticed Jiang Wan from time to time, and he naturally discovered that Jiang Wan had been secretly looking at the same place. So out of curiosity, he followed her line of sight and found that the person she was looking at was a young master. .

Emperor Jiaqing had a good memory and quickly recognized the man's identity.

Isn't that Liu Cong, the legitimate son of the Liu family?

He still has some impressions of Liu Cong. After all, these days among the aristocratic families in the capital, few have achieved fame through their own efforts. They all rely on family connections to enter official careers.

This Liu Cong passed the Jinshi examination on his own, and his ranking was not bad. It can be said that among these noble children, he can be regarded as an extraordinary talent.

Although he didn't know why Jiang Wan kept looking at Liu Cong, Emperor Jiaqing couldn't help but become cold when he noticed Jiang Wan looking at Liu Cong.

Jiang Wan is his woman. As a man, he naturally can't stand his woman looking at other men. Not to mention that he is the emperor, even the men next to him can't stand it.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The queen sitting next to Emperor Jiaqing asked with concern when she saw that his face looked a little unhappy.

"Nothing." Emperor Jiaqing forced a smile to indicate that he was fine.

He couldn't say that he felt uncomfortable because he saw his concubine looking at the man next to him. Besides, today was the rare New Year's Eve, and he also wanted to disturb everyone's enjoyment.

Jiang Wan was afraid that Liu Cong would notice if she kept staring at him, so she became defensive. She was even more afraid that he would become suspicious and send someone to investigate her identity and thus find out her family members, so Jiang Wan withdrew her gaze from him. , no longer pay attention to the other party.

But she didn't know that she had been staring at Liu Cong without being noticed by Liu Cong, but she was seen by Emperor Jiaqing, who had been paying attention to her, and was misunderstood by him.
