Opening his eyes, Yu Lan stared blankly at the man pillowing beside him.
This is her husband.
Those who have worshiped heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber.
In the blink of an eye, it has been so long since I got married to him.
The red silk flowers were fluttering, and the petals were flying. The scene of the wedding was still vivid in my mind, so clear. It was as if I had just married him in a wedding dress yesterday.
I used to have simple ideas, just enough to eat and clothing and warmth. After dying once and coming back, I knew that I was destined to be short-lived, so I found a supporter for myself, thinking that I could change my destiny and live well.
Already.
They all say that contentment always brings happiness.
But now, why do I feel like I still want something? Could it be that life is really getting better and I am beginning to feel dissatisfied.
He is the emperor, and it is only a matter of time before he has other concubines.
This is a palace. Even if I like myself very much, I cannot have only one concubine. In the future, there will be a queen in this palace, and there will also be many concubines besides myself.
Even in the backyards of those wealthy and powerful families, there are always groups of wives and concubines, fighting against each other, let alone the ninety-five nobles.
I had terrible thoughts about him.
She buried her head in his arms silently.
I don't want him to have other concubines.
How could she have such an idea?
He is the emperor...
He reached out and touched her head.
"What's wrong?"
"His Majesty……"
"Um……"
Her hand gently touched his face.
"today……"
"What?"
"During the day, I went to the Queen Mother's place..."
I feel like something is wrong.
"Um……"
Stroking her hair with his hand, Zhao Chengji said lightly: "What next?"
Thinking of what the Queen Mother said, Yu Lan said softly: "The Queen Mother said that sooner or later there will be other concubines in this palace. The royal family has few heirs, and it is not suitable for me to sleep with my concubine because she is pregnant..."
"...It's not appropriate for me to stay here all this time..."
Yu Lan's voice became quieter later on.
The hand stroking her hair stopped slightly.
It turns out there is such a thing...
Zhao Chengji fell silent.
What kind of mentality does the queen mother have?
In this life, the reborn Zhao Chengji's original plan was to train an heir, and then take the blame and retire early. But the plan could not keep up with the changes. When he left the palace, he met Yu Lan and was moved.
When he learned that Yu Lan was pregnant, no one knew how happy he was. Even at the beginning, he was cautious, fearing that her pregnancy would not be preserved for some reason.
I have a woman I like.
There are also children.
Or the life of his beloved.
Not surprisingly, they are a son and a daughter.
This life is enough.
He is very content.
He hugged Yu Lan tighter, and Zhao Chengji rested his chin on the top of Yu Lan's head. He was silent for a while and then said something.
"I have the final say on where to stay. As for the heirs, I already have them."
"Go to sleep..." As he spoke, Zhao Chengji patted her head with his hand, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Yu Lan blinked.
What does he mean?
I feel like I understand, but I feel like I don’t understand.
However, the only thing that can be understood is that so far, His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of recruiting anyone to sleep with him.
Isn't it uncomfortable for him to fall asleep now?
Yu Lan was in his arms, so she could clearly feel his body's reaction.
It's a little late tonight.
Better to sleep first.
Thinking of this, Yu Lan closed his eyes and prepared to sleep. But after a while, Yu Lan opened his eyes again with clear senses.
Very harsh.
Her father can't keep doing this.
For the future life.
Then go to bed later
Leaning on his neck, Yu Lan's hand holding his waist slowly moved down...
After a while.
"Master...is this okay?"
"Well, continue..."
A low voice, hoarse and magnetic.
His voice was so pleasant that even Yu Lan's face got hot.
That night, when Yu Lan went to bed, it was already quite late.
I felt like someone was saying something in my ear, but I didn't hear it clearly.
Yu Lan slept very comfortably. When she woke up, there was no one around her. She must have gotten up early to deal with government affairs.
"Your Majesty, I will help you change your clothes."
The servants at Rongxi Palace took the clothes to the bedside and began to help Yu Lan change clothes and wash up.
This is what is said in the legend. When you put on your clothes, put out your hands for food, and open your mouth, you feel like you are going to be crippled.
"Cui Nong, give me a glass of water. I'm a little thirsty."
"Yes, empress..."
Cuinong responded, walked to the table and poured Yu Lan a glass of warm water.
"Mother, here you go."
"Thanks……"
After Yu Lan thanked him, he reached out and took it.
Cui Nong looked embarrassed when he heard his wife thank you, "No, my wife, this is what a slave should do."
They are the people in Concubine Chen's palace, and it is their duty to serve her. Moreover, it is their blessing to be able to serve this concubine.
After drinking a glass of water, Yu Lan handed over the cup in his hand.
"I don't think I'm going to court today. Where are your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, Long Live the Lord is meeting with the ministers at the Zichen Palace."
"I knew it……"
Even if he doesn't go to court, he is still very busy.
"Your Majesty, the Shangyi Pavilion has sent new clothes today. See if you like them."
"New clothes? Let me try it on..."
"It's the empress..."
Under the service of the palace servants, Yu Lan put on a thickened aqua blue dress. The dress was embroidered with patterns, and there were rabbit fur on the collar, which made it look fluffy.
After adjusting Yu Lan's sleeves, Guihua asked with a smile: "How are you, Madam? Does the dress fit you?"
Glancing down, Yu Lan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it fits well. The clothes are quite nice."
Osmanthus chuckled, "I specifically asked the steward of Shangyi Pavilion to make the clothes looser, so that the queen will not be able to tell because she is still young."
"really……"
Next, after freshening up, the imperial doctor came again.
Although I felt that it was really unnecessary for the imperial doctor to come every day. However, thinking that this was also for the sake of the child's health, Yu Lan was still very cooperative.
After the daily pulse diagnosis, the imperial physician gave some further instructions that needed attention, and then left.
Time flies by, and the days that follow are warm and ordinary.
Zhao Chengji didn't mention recruiting someone to sleep with her. He still went to court every day, then stayed at Rongxi Palace. At night, sleeping with her in his arms seemed to have formed a habit.
The days pass slowly...
After four months of pregnancy, Yu Lan began to want to eat, and her appetite became better.
Compared to the previous days where I would vomit whatever I ate, now I have three meals a day, plus afternoon snacks, and everything tastes delicious.
Seeing that her appetite had improved, the palace servants who were waiting around her were naturally happy. When Concubine Chen couldn't eat, the emperor looked at them and said, "You are a bunch of trash, what use do you need."
The little prince in the empress's womb is slowly growing up, and they have to be more cautious and serve her carefully to ensure that the little prince is born safely.
