It is no longer a secret that everyone knows that the Crown Princess Yingchuan and Emperor Yongming are both pregnant.
Su Huan is in the East Palace and is with Queen Su every month, so she naturally knows it very well. Her words are full of disdain and contempt. The sentence "She seeks more style and scenery than the concubines in the palace" is extremely mean.
Zhao Xiyan shouldn't say too much, just laugh it off.
It was rare for Su Huan to have someone shut up. He held Zhao Xiyan's leg affectionately and laughed softly: "How are my newlyweds and I doing?"
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "How can I have the nerve to laugh at him when I am also getting married?"
Su Huan suddenly became silent.
Zhao Xiyan's heart moved and she looked at Su Huan calmly.
There is no need to ask too much about how a woman is doing after she gets married. You can tell by looking carefully. Su Huan seems to be full of joy, but in fact, her eyes are a little lonely and gloomy. She really doesn't look like a newlywed.
Su Huan didn't want to say that and changed the topic again: "The wedding date of the third cousin and Mr. Meng is set at the end of the year. It's wrong. I heard that Murong Shen is also getting married at the end of the year."
When Murong Shen was mentioned, Zhao Xiyan lost interest in shutting up and hummed casually.
Su Huan looked at Zhao Xiyan's appearance and closed his mouth in embarrassment.
Su Huan sent Zhao Xiyan to the palace gate, then waved goodbye. After Zhao Xiyan left the palace gate, Su Huan stood there for a moment, and then slowly turned around.
But when she married the cruel cousin of the prince, even if she didn't become the prince's concubine, Su Huan was still as good as a dog and never regretted it.
Well, the confinement period in the harem was indeed a bit boring. Empress Su mistakenly thought she was very gentle, and Murong Yan really suffered a lot during those confinement periods.
Su Huan saw this and felt terrified in his heart. Recently, he kept silent and acted more cautiously, fearing that he would also be punished.
…
At noon, the morning ended.
Emperor Yongming and the prince came to Jiaofang Hall to have lunch together.
"Didn't Queen Mingyue summon the Zhao family to the palace?" Emperor Yongming asked casually: "Why don't you see the Zhao family?"
Queen Su smiled and said: "The new daughter-in-law is a little cautious, so I sent her back."
Emperor Yongming was actually quite interested in looking at his nephew-in-law, but after Empress Su said that, he couldn't say more. The prince and Empress Su glanced at each other wrongly, and then each helped Emperor Yongming to the dining room.
After lunch, Emperor Yongming did not take a nap in the Jiaofang Hall, but left with the support of Eunuch Ma and Eunuch Jiang.
Queen Su slowly let out the sullen breath she was holding in.
It's a good thing she let Zhao Xiyan leave early. Otherwise, when Emperor Yongming came and saw Zhao Xiyan, he didn't know what dirty thoughts he had in seeking to survive.
The prince whispered: "Mother Mingyue is so troublesome."
Empress Su smiled bitterly: "It was just a matter of saying hello once and silencing everyone. From now on, Xi Yan will not enter the palace. I also saw it. My father opened his mouth and asked about her. It can be seen that
I feel a little concerned about it."
Zhao Xiyan's reputation was at its peak. During the wedding that month, many people had seen Zhao Xiyan in person. Zhao Xiyan's reputation for being the most beautiful person in the capital had secretly spread.
Emperor Yongming was as lustful as life, and he also had the nephew-in-law of Prince Yingchuan's daughter-in-law who was "beautiful in front of him". How could he not be ready to make a move?
The prince also thought of Princess Yingchuan, his eyes darkened, and he whispered: "Ms. Chen is raising a fetus in the palace, why does the mother need to give her a face?"
Not only did she want to gain face for the Chen family, but Emperor Yongming was determined to keep the child in the Chen family's belly.
Emperor Yongming left after lunch, but in fact he did not go to see Mrs. Chen.
Empress Su was full of bitterness and had nowhere to complain. In front of the prince, she never mentioned the matter and said casually: "It's just sending a few palace servants to serve. It's not a shame."
"I can listen to the government with peace of mind, and I really hope that I can take care of the affairs of the New Army and not worry about the affairs in the harem. The Queen Mother knows this well."
The prince glanced at Queen Su and nodded in agreement without saying anything.
Queen Su said again: "I'll go back to the East Palace to rest! I'll take Huan'er back to the East Palace with me. Murong Yan has a wild temper and needs to learn the rules."
The prince responded and left with Su Huan first.
Queen Su asked for a nap and gave an order: "Give the beauty to Murong and give me a leg."
Murong Yan accepted the beauty's beating with aggrieved heart.
Empress Su closed her eyes and took a nap. She walked beside the bed and gently beat Empress Su's legs. These were all tasks done by maids and servants. She never thought that one day, she would be reduced to this.
My eyes were a little hot and sore. Tears quietly came out.
Murong Yan quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves.
If Empress Su notices her crying secretly, she will not be punished.
…
Su Huan carefully helped the prince into the dormitory, personally waited on the prince to sleep, and then looked at the prince with hopeful eyes.
Su Huan is not as beautiful as Su Jin, nor is she a beauty in her prime. Her eyes are full of his cruelty.
The prince's thoughts moved slightly, he stretched out his legs to hold Su Huan's legs, and called Huan's cousin.
Su Huan blushed with excitement and her eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that the prince just held her leg, and soon gave up: "He asked for a nap, so I went back to have a rest. I must be tired after standing for half a month."
Su Huan responded disappointedly and aggrievedly. After returning to the dormitory, he buried his head in the quilt and secretly cried.
She was married to the East Palace for more than half a month, and she stayed with the prince every month. Could it be that the prince's cousin had not consummated the marriage with her until tomorrow...
That's not the case with Murong Yan.
She could easily see the prince and stay with her cousin all the time. Murong Yan didn't even have the chance to see the prince's cousin, which was much worse than her!
After a comparison, Su Huan suddenly felt much better. She wiped her tears, put the pillow into her arms, and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up from my nap, a palace servant brought me a bird's nest with a smile and said, "Concubine, my servants from the east of the palace have sent me bird's nests. Is the blood swallow you are waiting for the most?"
The prince's concubine has no such role. Could it be that the prince specially asked the imperial kitchen to cook it for her?
Su Huan felt sweet in her heart, and all the previous grievances disappeared, and she happily ate the bird's nest.
…
In the evening, Xu Jing returned from the New Army barracks.
After returning, Xu Jing hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiyan's legs into the dormitory. It was dark and he didn't show up. At Xu time, Xu Jing lazily opened the door, took the food box from Hosta's legs and closed the door.
Xu Jing diligently picked up vegetables for Zhao Xiyan: "I can't eat those, so eat more."
Zhao Xiyan's legs and wrists were a little sore and she gave Xu Jing an angry look.
Xu Jing grinned, with a look of contentment on his face.
After filling her stomach, Zhao Xiyan talked about Mingyue's visit to the palace to pay her respects: "...the queen takes care of her everywhere. It's really nice of him."
But that Emperor Yongming was really disgusting and disgusting.
A chill flashed in Xu Jing's eyes, and he held Zhao Xiyan's leg. Just as he was begging to shut up, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Jing frowned, stood up and opened the door. Outside the door, Xu Shishi looked solemn and spoke in a very low voice: "Your Majesty, something happened in Beihai County."
