"I just learned about it. I just couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. I thought it was due to physical discomfort. I wanted to send you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that you like to eat this morning, but I accidentally fell on the ground when I went out. There was some snow, and I almost fell down, and then I felt some stomach pain, so I quickly asked Dr. Liu to come over and take a look. Who would have thought..."

The emperor saw that Lu Yuening was indeed not in good spirits, so he supported her and asked Han Cui to bring a cushion for her to lean on, and then talked to her. As he was talking, someone outside the door announced that the Empress Dowager had arrived. ( Literature Museum)

Seeing a trace of displeasure flash across the emperor's face, Lu Yuening hurriedly muttered to herself: "I don't know who is ignorant, but I told the Queen Mother in such a hurry. It seems that this palace needs to be reorganized."

The emperor knew that Lu Yuening's greatest advantage was that she could read people's looks and guess people's thoughts. This was a good thing, but it was also not a good thing. We couldn't have close friendships with such people, and we had to be on guard. But she was kind to him.

"This is a good thing. The imperial grandmother should know about it." The emperor smiled at Lu Yuening, then helped her stand up and saluted the empress dowager who had already entered the door.

"Hurry up and lie down, what are you doing with these false gifts at this time?" The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, one hand was supporting Sun Qi's hand, and the other was holding a string of rosewood beads. When she saw Lu Yuening getting up, she gently said Dissuaded.

However, Lu Yuening still knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother with the emperor's support. The Queen Mother looked at the nuns who were following, and the two nuns stepped forward to help Lu Yuening up.

"Thank you, Grandma Huang." Lu Yuening said obediently.

"Hahaha... Today is really a good day. Early in the morning, Grandma Wang told me that the red plum blossoms in the yard had bloomed overnight, which seemed like a good sign. It turned out to be true, Your Majesty. .Look, soon the Ai family will be Grandma Huang Zu, and you will also be a father."

The emperor quickly bowed and said: "What the emperor's grandmother said is true, and my grandson is also very happy."

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor, then said with a smile: "Okay, don't stand and talk. Ning'er, you lie down, the doctor said. In these three months, you need good health and care the most. After one month, when the fetal condition is stable, I can start walking around again."

"Yes, granddaughter-in-law must remember the teachings of the emperor's grandmother. She will not disappoint you and the emperor." After saying that, with the help of the two people, she got on the bed and leaned on the bed.

The emperor also sat on the chair beside the bed and looked at Lu Yuening with a smile.

The Empress Dowager saw it in her eyes and said: "Now you are going to be a father. Don't run around like a child all day long. I just asked someone to tell your aunt. Let her ...No, you have two aunts now, let them come into the palace to see Ning'er."

While listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Lu Yuening secretly observed the Emperor's expression. Seeing that there was nothing strange about his face, she finally felt more at ease, thinking that after all, she was the woman who accompanied him every night, and now she was After having a child, he should still have his own heart in his heart, otherwise when the Empress Dowager said these words just now, why didn't he react at all? Thinking of this, Lu Yuening's mouth showed a happy smile.

"Yes, the imperial grandmother was thoughtful. It's just that Yuening fell down in the early morning. The imperial doctor asked her to lie down and need to rest. I think it's better to let the two aunts into the palace in a few days. In the past few days, Just let her grandson stay with her."

The Empress Dowager sneered and said: "I'm just chatting with Ning'er, it won't be in the way, for the Yi Ai family's sake..."

"Emperor Grandma, Ning'er is indeed very sleepy now, and isn't the Emperor accompanying her? Wait for Ning'er to feel better in two days, and then invite the two aunts over, otherwise Ning'er will not have the energy to accompany her.

If he was negligent and lost etiquette, Ning'er thought, it would be even worse." Lu Yuening said quickly.

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, then nodded, stood up, and said: "Okay, I have already given instructions to the people below to pick up whatever is needed. The Ai family will not bother you two here to whisper.

After saying that, he looked at the emperor with a smile, and Lu Yuening quickly stood up and thanked him.

"Okay, lie down. From now on, all these etiquettes will be waived before your child is born. The royal heirs are more important." As the Queen Mother said, she walked to the door, looked back at the Emperor, and walked out.

The emperor helped Lu Yuening lie down and said softly: "I'll go out for a while. You lie down. I'll be back in a while."

Lu Yuening also saw the look from the Empress Dowager before, thinking that she must have something to say to the Emperor, so she nodded and said, "Go and do your work. I want to take a nap. Come and stay with me during lunch."

Let’s eat together, okay?”

The emperor knew that Lu Yuening deliberately left two hours for himself to do his own thing. This woman is always like this. Everything she does for you is invisible, but she is really warm and caring.

"Okay, then you have a good sleep. When you wake up, I will be back. What do you want to eat?"

Lu Yuening gently shook the emperor's hand on her shoulder and said, "Bring me some jujube cake. The one in the palace is not delicious, it is too delicate."

This was very clear. She knew that the emperor would leave the palace today, and she also found a very good excuse for the emperor, that is, if the empress dowager knew about it, it could be said that the empress wanted to eat what the emperor bought for her personally.

Sour jujube cake, that’s why I left the palace, I thought the relationship between the two of them was very good.

The emperor held Lu Yuening's hand with his backhand, looked deeply into her eyes, and said, "Okay, I know your favorite pastry shop is in Dongcheng. I'll buy it and come back."

Lu Yuening nodded. Just as the emperor was about to leave, Lu Yuening stopped him, then took out a small box from under the pillow and handed it to him. He whispered: "Tell her, this is the osmanthus oil I brewed by myself. It is used for combing hair and bathing."

Excellent, I can't go in person, so please bring my blessings."

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and hesitated whether to continue. Lu Yuening said softly: "If she asks you, just say that I asked someone to leave the palace and leave it to you. Just go quickly, the emperor's grandmother is still waiting for you."

The emperor took the box and looked at Lu Yuening. Lu Yuening smiled at himself, waved, then lay down and stopped looking at him. He had no choice but to put the box in his arms and go out.

After a while, Han Cui walked to the bed and was about to speak when she heard Lu Yuening say coldly: "Everyone, please step aside. I have something to ask you."

Hancui was startled and looked at the Queen with a guilty conscience. She quickly asked everyone in the room to leave one by one, closed the door, and walked to the bed. She only heard Lu Yuening say sharply: "Kneel down!"

After Hancui knelt down, Lu Yuening sat up. The gentleness and smile just now had disappeared, replaced by a look of coldness and anger.

"Did you ask someone to tell the Empress Dowager?"

This was the first time Hancui saw Lu Yuening's expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She quickly put her hands on the ground and said tremblingly: "I know I was wrong!"

Lu Yuening sneered: "You are a good person. You are so eager to tell the emperor and the emperor, but do you know what day it is today?"

After Hancui heard this, she couldn't think of anything after thinking for a long time. Suddenly she thought about how Lu Yuening had secretly carried something to the emperor on his servant's back, and even said that he wanted the emperor to go out of the palace to buy something for herself. Hancui's body sank and she hit her forehead.

On the ground, he stammered: "Slave... I know where I went wrong."

Lu Yuening snorted and angrily threw a cushion next to her on Han Cui's body. Han Cui didn't dare to say anything, but tears flowed out.

"If you do this, what will the Emperor think of me? You think I am deliberately using this day to make it difficult for him. You and I have known about this for a long time. I have also said that it will not be too late to tell the Emperor after this month. You

What are you so anxious about? Ah, let me ask you, what are you so anxious about!!!"

Han Cui choked up and said: "Miss, I have been so aggrieved to look at you for the past six months. You are so kind to the emperor, but he still runs away again and again. I think if he knows

You are pregnant with his child now, so he should treat you better."

Lu Yuening scolded: "Shut up! Since when did I need you, a slave, to make decisions for me about my master's affairs? Since you love making decisions like this, I will simply drive you out of the palace. You can be the boss of whoever you want."

The Lord is healed."

When Hancui heard this, she couldn't help crying and begged: "Mother, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please go around me this time."

"Spare you?... There are many things you do behind my back? I pretend not to know every time, but if you stay by my side, I'm afraid the emperor will beat me forever in less than a year.

Do you know that being in the cold palace will make my life worse than death?"

Han Cui was stunned. She knew that her young lady had always been a very thoughtful person. Sometimes the master and his wife would listen to her opinions at home. But after entering the palace, the young lady seemed to have changed. From a vigorous and capable person

The woman turned into a queen who only cared about other people's feelings and made herself suffer all kinds of injustices. Hancui didn't know why the young lady did this, but she couldn't stand it and couldn't bear it.

"Empress, Han Cui is wrong. Really, Han Cui never dares to do it again. Please spare Han Cui this time. Please."

Tears rolled in Lu Yuening's eyes. She gritted her teeth and looked at Han Cui who was lying on the ground crying. After a while, she shouted to the door: "Xi Yan, come in."

Xiyan was the aunt in charge of the Fuxiang Palace after Lu Yuening entered the palace. She was twenty-seven years old, but had been in the palace for twenty years. She was a woman who was steady and careful in her work.

Xi Yan walked in and stood with a bow.

"Let the people in the service room take this slave to the clothing bureau. He is not allowed to come back to serve him without my instructions."

"Your Majesty, Han Cui will follow you into the palace..." Xi Yan couldn't help but persuade her.

Lu Yuening glanced at Xi Yan coldly and said, "Why, can I no longer be the master of this Fuxiang Palace?"
