An Qingran was speechless. They had only been separated for a morning. Her face was feverish, but her heart was sweet. Although she thought he was sweet-talking, she believed his words.
"I will never marry another woman, don't worry."
"Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
Dongfang Jin looked like he was speechless, so he changed the subject: "What good soup did you bring me? You can drink it with me."
"Wait, please speak more clearly. Is someone forcing you to marry a concubine again?"
"Hey, Qingqing, sometimes I feel that you are too smart and I can't hide anything from you..." Dongfang Jin sat down, picked up the sugar water and took a sip, "It tastes good."
An Qingran still had a smile on her face, but she was panicking in her heart. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at a prince and a good man.
So, when he said this, she understood everything.
Dongfang Jin put down the jade bowl and smiled again: "You don't have to listen to what others say. No matter what they say, I won't listen to them."
"But if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty threaten the world and the country, will you listen or not?" An Qingran asked him with a smile, but she was very nervous in her heart. She was not unfounded.
"If they are not satisfied, whoever wants to be the prince, let them do it."
An Qingran took a step forward and covered his mouth: "Don't say such words, otherwise people will think that I am a disaster. Will you let me live or not?"
Dongfang Jin also felt that he had said it rashly, so he just smiled and pulled her into his arms: "Okay, I made a mistake. Fortunately, I have a virtuous lady, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
The two joked for a while, and Dongfang Jin felt much better.
When An Qingran returned to the East Palace, her mood became even heavier. No wonder so many people came to see her recently. She thought they were trying to trick her and the prince: "Lonicera, just say that I am ill and will not see guests for the time being. Everyone
They’re all pushed.”
When the Queen Mother heard the news from the East Palace, her face was filled with joy. It seemed that someone understood her spirit.
An Qingran was troubled by these potential threats that suddenly appeared.
In any case, it is a fact that she is not pregnant now, and it is conceivable that those people are making a fuss about this.
She didn't know how long this situation would last.
Maybe as long as I don't get pregnant for a day, the situation will not end.
Lonicera walked in quietly and asked the maids to go out.
An Qingran knew she had something to say, so she waited.
"Princess, this servant has received news. Xiaoju said that ladies have been coming to the Queen Mother's Palace these past two days, very frequently."
"anything else?"
"Also, the emperor went to Concubine Shu's courtyard."
An Qingran was stunned for a moment: "How long have you been staying?"
"It took a long time, but when Concubine Shu delivered it, she had a smile on her face."
An Qingran understood.
She sighed, but then smiled with relief: "Maybe this is a good thing, after all, moving around more is good for the emperor's dragon body and health."
She didn't believe that Emperor Yun Qi would forget Queen Yun so quickly. There might be a reason for him to do this.
In fact, that's exactly what happened.
It turns out that the anniversary of Queen Yun's death is coming soon. A few days ago, Concubine Shu went to Emperor Yun Qi's palace, dressed very plainly, and brought a tonic soup to Emperor Yun Qi. Her face was sad: "Your Majesty, I have a request.
I hope the emperor is right."
Emperor Yun Qi was lying on the bed, looking at the medical book. It was a relic of Queen Yun. She used to like to study these things and wanted to find a cure for the prince from the medical book. She didn't find it. Instead, the woman she chose for the prince did it.
arrive.
When he saw Concubine Shu coming, he put down the medical book, looked at Murong Shu who was respectful on the ground, and nodded lightly: "Tell me, why is it so serious?"
"I had a dream last night. In the dream, Sister Yun asked me to take good care of the emperor and the prince. Thinking that the emperor had doubted me because of my sister's death, I was terrified. This year, I have been blaming myself.
I spent time with myself and introspection, but I didn’t know what to do to make up for my sister’s regret. I didn’t expect that my sister would trust me and entrust me with the dream. So, after thinking about it again and again, I decided to go to Fahua Temple to chant for my sister.
The sutra also prays for the royal family, and also asks Bodhisattva to bless the emperor’s dragon body and health.”
Emperor Yun Qi's heart moved when he heard this: "She gave you a dream? She...but she also said something else?"
"My sister is the same as she was before she was alive. She still wears those white brocade phoenix-patterned skirts. She only said that she didn't want to meet the emperor in his dreams anymore, and that the emperor's illness was caused by his illness. She asked me to help take care of the emperor and the prince. She didn't say anything else."
Emperor Yun Qi thought for a while and sighed: "Okay, go ahead."
Concubine Shu really didn't say anything more, but really turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Emperor Yun Qi's expression became less ugly.
Three days later, Concubine Shu returned to court and brought a talisman to Emperor Yun Qi, which she put in a bright yellow brocade bag: "Your Majesty, this is the peace talisman I asked Master Minghua..."
Emperor Yun Qi took it and put it in his arms: "You have lost weight..."
Hearing this, Murong Shu's eyes flashed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern..."
The emperor has not spoken such tender words for a long time.
"How is Lin'er now? But he has grown up again?"
"Lin'er can eat and sleep now. He is much stronger and can turn over. It's just that it's very difficult to climb up. He couldn't climb an inch for a long time. He was just like Ye'er when he was a child, clumsy." Murong Shu said with a smile, "
Your Majesty wants to see Lin'er? When will I ask Ye'er to bring Lin'er into the palace for you to see?"
"No need for now. With my body like this, I will make Lin'er sick. I will let him come into the palace when I get better."
"Okay, I am thinking about this matter. Has Your Majesty become more relaxed these days?"
"Fortunately, I have eaten more in the past few days and I feel better. You should go back and have a good rest." The tenderness in Emperor Yun Qi's words really moved Concubine Shu.
Returning to the Jiaoxiang Palace, Murong Shu was filled with emotion. It turned out that Emperor Yun Qi was still the affectionate and righteous emperor. He had been doting on Queen Yun for so many years, but it was also because of his affection that he treated his concubines like them even if they didn't have a family.
Take some responsibility.
She found Emperor Yun Qi's weakness. Such a man should not be born in this palace.
The Queen Mother wanted to see Dongfang Run and Lou Wanyue.
The two of them arrived at the palace in a hurry.
The Queen Mother gave a banquet.
She looked at the two white jade-like children and liked in her heart: "As for you, if you have time, spend more time with me, an old woman, unless you find me annoying."
Dongfang Run was still calm and calm, and just smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother is really joking. My grandson is eager to serve you every day."
"What you said makes me happy. It's better than your father. Your father comes to see me every day and can't make me happy." The Queen Mother sighed deliberately, "Yue'er, look, how can you be so thin?
"In the past, you were thinner when you danced, and you look good and lively. Don't dance anymore. The Ai family has the final say. You should take good care of your body and raise a fat great-grandson for the Ai family."
Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Lou Wanyue's face, and Dongfang Run was also a little sarcastic. The Queen Mother smiled: "Look at you, you have been married for so long, and you still don't seem to know each other. What can I say about you?"
But it’s a good thing that you respect me like this.”
Lou Wanyue looked at Dongfang Run. Dongfang Run didn't look at her, but just smiled at the Queen Mother: "Royal Grandmother, please stop teasing us."
"Okay, the Ai family is not joking. Look at you, you still know how to protect your daughter-in-law. The Ai family is happy. Come and eat more." The Queen Mother said and asked someone to serve them food.
Lou Wanyue forced a smile on her face, but this meal tasted like nothing.
Soon they said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left the courtyard. Lou Wanyue whispered: "I want to go see the Crown Princess, will you go?"
"Okay, it just so happens that I have something to do with the prince." Dongfang Run's tone was much lighter than before.
This made Lou Wanyue's eyes darken a lot.
When the two arrived at the East Palace, An Qingran welcomed them naturally. She was very happy to see the two of them coming together. Dongfang Run asked if the prince was not in the palace, but did not enter. Instead, he went to the imperial study to find Dongfang Jin.
An Qingran took Lou Wanyue's hand and entered the house. As she walked, she looked at her expression carefully, but she felt something was wrong. After everyone left, she whispered: "What? My rouge didn't work?"
Lou Wanyue's face heated up: "That's not entirely true. It worked. It's just that after that night, he was even colder than before, and he seemed to regret it very much."
"This Dongfang Run, really, after marrying such a beautiful lady, what else can you be dissatisfied with?" An Qingran took the tea, suddenly remembered something, and turned around to change it to a bowl of fruit syrup, "Try it, I
I stewed it myself, put a lot of honey in it, and it's sweet."
Lou Wanyue smiled bitterly and took a sip: "The Queen Mother has been saying something recently that she wants a great-grandchild again, but with this situation, I really don't know when she will be satisfied."
An Qingran suddenly remembered that if her guesses were correct, then Lou Wanyue in front of her might be the real Crown Princess. She was a little weird thinking that her title was unjust, but
She quickly stopped thinking about it. No matter what, it was not her fault, nor the prince's fault.
"It's normal for her to miss her great-grandson. Now that you have broken the ice, let's get along well. No matter what, you are the crown prince's concubine, and Dongfang Run doesn't seem to be a ruthless person. He must be shy?" An Qingran
Laughing and joking.
Lou Wanyue smiled, with a bitter look on her face. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. She was so lucky to be loved by thousands of people. She got wind and rain when she wanted. Now everyone knows that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are deeply in love with each other.
Infinitely, the prince has even made a promise not to marry again for the rest of his life. I wonder which man in the world would do this?
"In this way, if your rouge doesn't work, I'll think of other people's tricks for you..." An Qingran said and started to think.
"Thank you, Qingran, but if you don't like someone, you won't get anything except embarrassing yourself by trying to please yourself."
An Qingran said seriously: "No, it's not easy to meet someone you like. Sometimes, it's happier to give than to take."
Lou Wanyue was startled for a moment: "But waiting without results makes people despair."
