For other concubines, confinement may be the most difficult thing to endure.
But for Lin Wanyi, this is when she feels most comfortable.
Rather than being speculated outside with a bulging stomach, it is more comfortable to hide in Yihua Palace.
After entering June, the weather in this midsummer season has become increasingly uncomfortable.
The sun is high.
It's so hot that you'll be sweating profusely even if you take two quick steps.
In the Yihua Palace, ice had been used early, but in addition to the coolness inside the room, the heat wave was still severe in the courtyard.
On the imperial concubine's couch under the bright window, Lin Wanyi was resting with her eyes closed.
Xia An used a cattail leaf fan to fan her next to her, but if you look closely, you can see that there is still some sweat between the broken hair on her forehead.
Lin Wanyi dislikes being sticky.
Therefore, you should take a dip in warm water every day to remove the smell of sweat.
It's probably because of the twins that her belly, which is just over six months old, looks as big as that of an average person who is seven or eight months old.
Under Yun's careful conditioning, the fetus does not grow fat.
Therefore, the limbs are still very slender, but the face looks a little rounder.
But it's not very obvious either.
I seldom bask in the sun, and even when I go for a walk, I only do it in the morning and after dinner, so my whole body becomes fairer and fairer.
Summer clothes are also cool, so from a distance, they look like white jade balls wearing light gauze, which is very cute.
When the emperor came out of the secret passage, he happened to see this scene.
Xia An was afraid of surprising Lin Wanyi, so he didn't say anything. He just bowed obediently and then withdrew.
It has to be said that Lin Xingzhi seems to have a talent for clearing the secret passages of the palace.
The secret passage was originally left by the previous dynasty, but no one had used it for many years, so it needed to be completely renovated and cleaned.
Like a maze, sorting it out is not an easy task.
But not only did he have a strong sense of direction, he also cooperated with Jiang Huanqing to create some darkrooms that ordinary people would never be able to find.
I drilled some holes for ventilation, and stocked up on water, food, bedding, wound medicine, etc.
Except that it is darker and smaller, it is not much different from a house where ordinary people live.
However, following the emperor's instructions, it only took more than fifty days to build a secret passage from Qian'an Palace to Yihua Palace.
So one night, when the emperor suddenly appeared on Lin Wanyi's bed, he almost fainted from fright.
Fortunately, the moonlight was bright enough, and the emperor's face appeared clearly before Lin Wanyi's eyes.
Otherwise, Lin Wanyi would have shouted for help.
The emperor still remembers Lin Wanyi's expression that night.
First she was frightened, then confused, and finally she was so happy that she even threw herself into his arms and said sweetly.
"I miss you, Your Majesty."
If this happened before, the emperor would never have thought that Lin Wanyi would be so clingy to him.
So he hugged her and talked for most of the night.
Poor Xia An was also shocked when she woke up the next day and brought warm water to Lin Wanyi.
Therefore, in the entire Yihua Palace, except for Xia An, Qiu Ming and Aunt Du who were close to Lin Wanyi, no one else knew about it.
Most of the time, the emperor came to accompany Lin Wanyi at night.
On the one hand, the government affairs were really busy, and on the other hand, everyone slept peacefully at night, and it was easier to hide the affairs of An Palace when the emperor was not around.
For this reason, Lin Xingzhi and Dong Yuzhong are also covering up every day.
Therefore, the two of them had a "private meeting" for more than half a month, and no one discovered it.
But one night when it was extremely hot, the Queen Mother in Cining Palace heard a cat meowing outside.
Said something casually.
"In summer, this cat is also in heat?"
Everyone, including Monk Zhanger, was confused.
Taking the cattail leaf fan from Xia An's hand, the emperor took over the work she had just done.
Fan Lin Wanyi was fanned step by step, probably due to different strength, so the force of the wind blowing out was also different.
Lin Wanyi woke up from her nap and saw the emperor when she opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty? Why are you here?"
The emperor is really good at cultivating the secret path.
You can walk out directly from the cabinet in the study room.
And this study room is connected to Lin Wanyi's bedroom, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by outsiders.
Seeing Xia An retreating, he winked at Qiu Ming who was standing at the door.
He understood it immediately, and then made excuses to send away the palace servants who were watering the flowers in the yard.
Therefore, in the huge main hall, there were the emperor and Lin Wanyi inside.
Under the corridor are Qiu Ming and Xia An who are responsible for guarding.
Seeing Lin Wanyi regaining consciousness, he helped her get up.
"There isn't much going on in the court today. I have nothing to do after approving the papers, so I came over to keep you company."
Lin Wanyi knew what the emperor meant. They should have gone to the palace to escape the summer heat at this time, but it was because of her that they stayed here until today.
It's useless to push left and right these days, as we will still have to set off in three days.
"Well, if nothing happens these days, His Majesty will come often. When he goes to the palace a few days later, we will really never see him again."
She is probably pregnant, and her pregnancy this time has been troublesome.
Therefore, Lin Wanyi was more attached to the emperor than before.
"The Queen Mother has a bitter summer, so she must go to the palace to escape the summer heat. Once I send the Queen Mother there and make arrangements, I will find a reason to come back. The second lady said that twins are prone to premature birth, especially after seven months, so be careful
Be careful, I'm not by your side, and I'm still worried about you, so I'd better keep you company, don't worry."
After saying this, he put his palm on Lin Wanyi's belly.
As if feeling the emperor's power, his belly suddenly jumped.
Lin Wanyi let out a "Zhi" sound, and then said with a smile.
"This child must be very naughty. He never gets a good rest in my concubine's belly. Especially before lunch and dinner, he always has to make a fuss for a while and will not stop until he is full and full."
When she said this, her eyes were full of love.
The emperor was also happy after hearing this. It was not his first time becoming a parent, but he always wanted to be more affectionate.
He was very partial to Lin Wanyi, and he also cared a lot more about the child in her belly.
"You just have to eat freely. Only when your body is well nourished will you have strength."
"Well, my concubine eats a lot. Chunqi changes her diet every day. Look, does her belly get bigger every day?"
After saying that, he pulled his clothes aside, revealing a round belly.
Her belly now is extremely smooth.
Not a single trace is visible.
It's just that sometimes it feels hard and a little uncomfortable.
Also, my waist hurts easily.
You have to get up and walk for a while if you sit down casually, otherwise you will feel very uncomfortable.
Xia An wants to press her from time to time, but she is afraid of pressing the wrong place and affecting the child, so she is cautious.
