When that time came, she wanted to see exactly what would happen to the two people that had been as strong as gold. 1357924?
She did not believe that a stallion like Chu Li Ge would like Imperial Concubine Li, who had turned into a muscled freak.
Although Lu Qiong had advised Imperial Concubine Li to dress simply and tidily, Imperial Concubine Li did not take Lu Qiong's words to heart. She continued to dress as she usually did.
She wore a pink muslin dress that had a golden band around her waist. It made her waist seem even more slender, as if it could be broken with a single pinch.
The hem was so long that it could cause a person to fall. Where was the slightest bit of simplicity. It was clear that it was as gorgeous and beautiful as it could be.
Jiujiu looked at Imperial Concubine Li, who was dressed to the nines, and nearly laughed out loud.
Was Imperial Concubine Li dressed like this to practice martial arts? Those who did not know would think that she was trying to seduce a man.
Jiujiu forcefully held back her laughter and looked at Imperial Concubine Li, saying: "Imperial Concubine Li has come."
Imperial Concubine Li did not think that Jiujiu would actually get up, and her expression was slightly startled. She then gracefully kneeled and saluted. Her voice was soft and charming, and the slight tremor caused Jiujiu's body to go limp: "This concubine greets Your Highness the Empress. May Your Highness the Empress be blessed with good fortune and peace."
Jiujiu nodded: "Un, Lu Qiong, teach Imperial Concubine Li well. Do you understand?"
"This servant will do as you bid."
Lu Qiong turned around and cupped her hands to Imperial Concubine Li, saying: "Your Highness, please come with this servant."
Imperial Concubine Li held her dress with one hand and slowly followed behind Lu Qiong. Her posture was as leisurely as if she was out on a spring outing.
Jiujiu looked at Imperial Concubine Li's back and faintly smiled. Since you like to play, just play.
Lu Qiong naturally followed Jiujiu's instructions and taught Imperial Concubine Li well. She hated that she could not teach Imperial Concubine Li everything that she had learned.
Lu Qiong came from the general's manor and had been practicing martial arts since she was young. Practicing martial arts for two hours in a row was as simple as drinking water.
But Imperial Concubine Li was different. Imperial Concubine Li had been spoiled from a young age. Not to mention boxing, but she did not even dare take a large step when walking, fearing that she would lose her bearing.
But it just so happened that the fist techniques that Lu Si taught were all very large movements. Imperial Concubine Li did not want to practice at first, but once she relaxed, Lu Si would pull out a thin bamboo stick from the side and fiercely strike her.
The bamboo skewers were thin and flexible. It hurt when struck, but it did not leave a single scar. After being hit four or five times, Imperial Concubine Li immediately became obedient.
He no longer cared that the talisman did not conform to the rules of etiquette, and began to display his fist technique with all his strength.
By the time she finished practicing, the rouge that Imperial Concubine Li had applied to her face had been soaked with sweat, and her exquisite makeup had become a smudge.
This was Imperial Concubine Li's first time practicing martial arts, yet she had been treated like this by Jiujiu. By the time she returned, she was already out of breath from exhaustion, and there was not a single part of her body that was not sore. Naturally, she was not in the mood to take care of herself every day.
She wanted to find Jiujiu to help her, but it just so happened that Jiujiu was treating her like this, using the excuse that it was for her own good. Even if she found Chu Li, she would not be able to shake Jiujiu in the slightest.
Moreover, the current Chu Li did not dare to touch Jiujiu at all. That was why even if she told Chu Li, Chu Li would at most comfort her for a while then have her continue to endure.
The next day, Imperial Concubine Li had learned her lesson from the day before. She did not wear any gauze clothes, nor did she put on any makeup. Instead, she wore short clothes and went over with her small face.
Today, Jiujiu did not appear, and Lu Si continued to watch her practice like the day before. She could not stop for even a quarter of an hour. Once she stopped, Lu Si would hit her with the bamboo stick, causing Imperial Concubine Li to suffer unspeakably.
An entire month passed by.
During these days, whenever Chu Li wanted to touch Jiujiu, he would be pushed away by Jiujiu using the excuse of being unwell. She would even take the initiative to arrange for an imperial concubine to attend to her.
As for Imperial Concubine Li, because Jiujiu had said that her body had not fully recovered, she could not attend to her. This caused Imperial Concubine Li, who found out about this, to hate Jiujiu to the bone once more.
Imperial Concubine Li continued to practice martial arts at Jiujiu's place. It was only after a month that Jiujiu received news of her pregnancy during her monthly examination that she was released by Jiujiu.
Jiujiu looked at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground and rubbed her flat belly in joy, asking in disbelief: "This One is really pregnant?"
"Replying to Your Highness, it's absolutely true. Although it's still early, the pulse is as round as a ball. It's undoubtedly a pregnancy pulse. Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness." The imperial physician said a string of congratulatory words, and Jiujiu's eyes turned red in joy. After a long time, she rubbed her flat belly and said: "Reward."
Lu Si handed the pouch that she had prepared beforehand to the imperial physician. After having someone send the imperial physician away, she looked at Jiujiu and asked with concern: "Your Highness, do you want me to send someone to inform His Majesty?"
Hearing Lu Si mention Jiujiu, a look of disdain immediately appeared on Jiujiu's face, curling her lips: "No need. Go to the imperial kitchen and find Wu Fuzi. Tell him about my pregnancy."
Lu Si looked at Jiujiu in confusion. She could not understand why her Highness would not tell His Majesty about her pregnancy. Instead, she would tell an inconspicuous cook. She truly could not understand.
Even though she was puzzled, Lu Si still went to the imperial kitchen to inform Wu Fuzi about Jiujiu's pregnancy.
At night, before Jiujiu could lie down, she was hugged from behind. Chu Liyu lowered his head and gently kissed Jiujiu's forehead, saying gently: "You've worked hard."
During this period of time, Jiujiu was not with Jiujiu at all. Moreover, the imperial physician who diagnosed Jiujiu was his confidant. Jiujiu was still early in the pregnancy, so there was no doubt who this child was.
However, because he knew, Chu Liyu's heart became more and more excited.
This girl, who was only in her teens, was pregnant with his child. This was his first child, and it was even more likely to be the child who would sit on that seat in the future. How could he not be looking forward to it?
Jiujiu relaxed her body and leaned most of her body weight on Chu Liyu: "It's not hard."
Chu Liyu patted Jiujiu's small head: "Silly girl, is there anything that you've been thinking about recently?"
Jiujiu blinked and thought for a bit before saying: "There isn't, but I feel that it's about time for Imperial Concubine Li to attend to me."
After a month of torment from Lu Si, Imperial Concubine Li began to gasp for breath in the first fifteen minutes. She was gasping for breath to the point that it was as though she was about to stop breathing. Even after two hours of training, she was still able to breathe steadily.
Un, Imperial Concubine Li's body had indeed gotten much better, but because she had gotten better, she had gained a lot of weight.
It did not seem like she had gained a lot of weight from eating too much. Imperial Concubine Li's weight had come from her bones. Her waist that had been thin and fragile had become thick. Her full breasts had become smaller because of the exercise. On the contrary, it was her thighs that had become thicker because of the exercise.
Also, because the food that Jiujiu had the imperial kitchen prepare for Imperial Concubine Li had added ingredients, it was the type of food that made it easier for her to gain weight and go with her meal. She would eat a lot without even realizing it.
