The sounds of bed squeaking continued till late night and the servants have been called for 4 times before they could get rest.
The news of the love between the prince and Consort Hua Yan spread across the palace.
Two days passed and it was the day to let the concubines enter the prince's palace.
All the 9 concubines entered the prince palace and were waiting for Consort Hua Yan.
They all wanted to meet this main wife who actually selected concubines for the prince and that to select 9 concubines.
The ladies started to gossip and the waiting hall suddenly became silent as soon as Consort Hua Yan entered.
She looked stunning in her Light cream silk dress, her hair is studded with various golden hairpins and jewels.
She looked stunning in the entire hall and shut the mouths of those who talked about her appearance and origin.
She sat down in her seat and everyone greeted her with honor even though some despise her origin and consider her status lower than them.
"Get up Everyone" she smiles gracefully and she doesn't fear their presence.
Before her all of them are daughters of different noble families and many beauties bowing to her.
Shen Qing the daughter of General Shen's concubine.
Lu Lan daughter of the Lu Families son.
Shu Wei Daughter of Minister of House Hold's Concubine.
Wei Ying, daughter of the Chancellor's concubine.
Meng Pei Yu Niece of Duke Chu.
Ji Yu Ting, daughter of the richest Merchant in the Han Dynasty.
Su Yue Daughter of General Su.
Xu Zhi Wei, daughter of the prime minister's concubine.
Kim Yue Rong is the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Everyone sat back in their place and Hua Yan glanced at everyone of them whereas the others were mesmerized by her beauty.
They were left in a shock to know such a beauty exists in their kingdom which enraged Yue Rong.
Hua Yan arranged their yards in the palace and asked her maids to send them to their respective places for rest.
All their yards are a bit far from the prince while the closest and the biggest one is occupied by her.
Chen Yi Chen grew impatient as Han Jun married many Noble ladies in the capital.
"Mother, how could you let him marry all those noble women? Grandma said she reserved those Noble ladies for me"
"Don't worry my Dear, I will surely secure your throne once you come of age"
"But mother, what if he ascends the throne before that?"
"Don't worry, that Old man won't leave his throne before he die and I won't let that Han Jun have any heir before you come of age"
Yi Chen feels reassured after hearing his mothers words.
Soon rumors spread in the palace and in the city that the prince only favours his wife and won't take a look at his concubines.
Everyone grew jealous after hearing the news, as time passed by the prince had never visited any one of them, but the noises of pleasure were heard in Hua Yan's yard every night.
The prince visited her daily for a fort night and all the concubines started to complain about it to Hua Yan and so did their families before the Emperor.
The families of the chosen consorts also showed their dissatisfaction and wanted to withdraw from marriage.
The Emperor becomes very furious and summons her to the palace along with Han Jun.
The Emperor seems very furious with them and shows his dissatisfaction.
Hua Yan comes forward "Your Majesty, I just wanted the prince to favour his consorts before he favours his concubines as some of them belong to the same family and I don't want to stir up any trouble between them".
Her words left everyone in thoughts as it is true.
"Then you should ensure the prince favour all of them and there should be no room for complain anymore"
"Sure, Your Majesty" This made the families of the consorts continue with their marriage.
She then returned to their palace and asked them to gather in the Main Hall.
Everyone comes and shows their respects to her and starts to complain to her that the prince doesn't favour them.
"Don't worry, the prince doesn't want anyone to misunderstand because he is going to marry another 3 consort in a few days and want to honor them before he spend some time with his concubines"
Her words left many of them in shock as it's not long since he took the concubines and now he is going to take 3 more consorts.
Shen Qing and Lu Lan glanced into each other knowing what was going to happen.
The day has arrived for the prince to take his 3 consorts and all of them on the same day.
The wedding has left everyone in the capital shocked to know that the prince has married 3 prominent daughters on the same day while their families were forced to do so due to the Emperor's decree.
Chu Yi Chen attended his wedding with anger filled his heart as the woman Han Jun married should be his if at all Hua Yan doesn't interfere.
He stood there watching the beautiful woman marry him in a very grand way.
All the three of them are waiting in their bed chambers for the prince, they wanted to know whom he chose.
To everyone's surprise he visited Hua Yan's Chamber knowing it was his wedding day.
"Yan Yan, have you asked me to come?Do you regret your decision now?" Han Jun asked in a confident and teasing tone.
"No, My Dear", her words enraged him but she pulled him onto the bed and touched his hand gently with love and pulled his hand towards her stomach.
He felt she wanted him to spend some time with her but as soon as she let him touch her belly he understood the reason.
"Am I going to become a father?" he exclaimed with joy and hugged her in his warm hug.
"Yes, I have noticed my pulse and wanted to wait till it's stable"
She smiled and her eyes showed her happiness and she was even more happy to see Han Jun being excited for their child.
"We should let my father know this good news immediately, he will be overjoyed with happiness" both visit the palace immediately and enter the King's study.
"What made you come to me on your wedding night this late, do you regret marrying them? It's of no use, use should favor one of them.."
Before the Emperor completed his words Han Jun interrupts "Father, I am going to be a father soon. Hua Yan has conceived"
"Your Majesty, it's a son" she tells them and everyone is filled with joy.
The news brought joy to the king that he immediately asked the Imperial doctor to check her pulse.
"Your Majesty, The pulse was indeed strong and it's most likely a son. The princess is pregnant and 1 month long"
"You should take good care of her from today. Don't let anything happen to my grand child and there is no need to consummate your marriage today. Go back and sleep well"
As soon as the prince leaves "Eunuch Li, bring me the Imperial Scroll" the Emperor commands.
