An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 134: Zhen Huan's Happiness

Shen Meizhuang's tone was firm. Suo Diao Luo knew her daughter's temper, so she sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You make sense. Mother won't force you."

Shen Meizhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but if something like this is revealed, even a little bit, let alone me."

"The entire Shen family will be buried with my daughter. If that's the case, please stop talking. Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, but do you know what kind of person Shupin is?"

"Mother, if it weren't for Rong'er, my daughter would have been killed right after she found out she was pregnant. If Rong'er wanted to harm me, why would I have taken the trouble to help my daughter protect the baby?"

"Rong'er is an upright person, there will definitely be no problem! Don't worry, mother. Look how sure Shen Meizhuang is. She didn't say anything else after asking for Luo's help."

She nodded and said, "The square cakes sent by Lady Wan are also your favorite. Let's eat some together later!" "Mother, my daughter doesn't like sweets now. The baby in my belly has grown a little big."

"You should use less of it when eating on weekdays, especially when eating snacks. This is what Huan'er prepared for you, so you can keep it and use more."

"When the Luo family found out about this, Shen Meizhuang was unhappy, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only nod in agreement."

Inside the Yanxi Palace

"An Lingrong looked at the table of dishes in front of her, pointed at the pickled goose across from her, and said to Chun Changzai who was sitting opposite her with a smile: A few days ago, Chun Changzai said she wanted to eat pickled goose."

"I was in a hurry at the time and didn't get my sister to eat, but then I thought about it again and again. It's rare for my sister to ask me for something. If I can't do such a small thing, it will always be my fault."

So I asked someone to make it today, sister, you want to try it? After hearing this, Chun Changzai smiled and said, "I was so anxious that I came to the table. Sister Shupin still remembers such a small request?"

Thank you, sister. "It's just a simple dish. Thank you for being so polite. Eat it quickly. I have also told Lian'er and the others about this." If you want to cook something in the future, please tell me in the kitchen.

Just let someone close to you do it! No need to report to me. "Ah?" Chun Chang was suddenly surprised after hearing this. She naturally didn't know why An Lingrong was suddenly so polite.

But after a moment, she reacted and nodded, "Yes, I thank you, Sister Shupin." "Thinking of Concubine Chun's previous preferences, An Lingrong had milk tea and snacks served after the meal."

"I know you like sweets, so I specially asked someone to prepare this. Would you like to try it?"

"Chun Changzai said with a smile, I just like sweets, I just can't get used to those teas and the like. Eat!"

An Lingrong nodded, not wanting to speak again. After a while, Chun Changzai finally felt full. She stood up and patted her bulging belly, "Sister, the food here is delicious."

An Lingrong half covered her face and yawned. If you like, come often. Chun Changzai understood what An Lingrong meant, still smiling, and tilted his head.

"Sister, you are sleepy. Chun'er will not disturb you and will go back first!" Well, she still has to pay respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow, so Chun Changzai should go back early to have a rest.

After Chun Changzai left, Qiu Fang came forward with a cup of tea, "Your Majesty has said so many nice things, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat!"

"An Lingrong reached out to take the teacup. Only nice words can have an effect. How are the follow-up arrangements going?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged. Well! The sooner we clear them out, the more peace we can have." Qiufang spoke again; Your Majesty, there seems to be some movement in the East Wing Hall recently.

"An Lingrong looked at Qiu Fang in confusion. What's the matter? Noble Lady Fucha has been in more contact with Concubine Qi recently. Three out of five days she goes to Changchun Palace to talk to Concubine Qi."

"Qiu Fang's words reminded An Lingrong of the humiliation in the long street in her previous life, and the day when it snowed and turned Noble Lady Fucha into a madman."

"Concubine Qi is already on good terms with her, so there's no need for me to step forward to stop them. One of them is a coward, and the other is stupid. If they join forces, what kind of trouble can they cause?"

It would be best if they could move to Changchun Palace, so that they could have real peace here. "We don't have to worry about this matter, we can ask someone to advise Noble Lady Fucha to move to Changchun Palace as well."

After hearing this, Qiufang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

"Hmm?" Where's Xiaoliu? Let the nurse bring him here. I took him for a walk around the house. He didn't eat much just now, but he talked too much. My chest felt a little stuffy.

"Qiu Fang chuckled and knelt down. Yes, I think the Sixth Prince has just finished eating. I will tell him now. Your Majesty, please wait for a moment."

.........

"Half a month has passed since Luo was taken away and brought into the palace. Shen Meizhuang's belly is already nine months full and she is about to give birth. Her discomfort has become a little better."

"The swelling on my feet is not that severe anymore, and I sleep much better at night. My complexion is actually getting better day by day, but Shen Meizhuang is about to give birth."

"Sui Yu Xuan is the first to become lively. Zhen Huan has finally received good news after serving in the emperor's bedchamber for so long. Wen Yi's pulse diagnosis shows that it has been two months, which means it has been there since before the New Year."

Zhen Huan sat on the couch with a happy look on her face, completely ignoring Wen Shichu's somewhat stiff expression. Liu Zhu said happily beside her.

"The young lady is pregnant too. The emperor will surely be happy when he finds out." Zhen Huan suppressed the excitement on her face and asked, "Has the Yangxin Palace been notified?"

"Don't worry, my lady. Xiao Yunzi has already gone. The emperor must know about it now. He might come soon. Zhen Huan said happily: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Zhen Huan finished her joke and said, "Doctor Wen, please get up quickly! Yes, thank you very much, my lady."

Zhen Huan was about to say something when she heard chaotic footsteps outside. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xiao Yunzi coming in, "My lady, the emperor is here, and he will soon be at the gate of our palace."

"Zhen Huan was about to stand up after hearing this, but Wen Shichu quickly stopped her and said: My lady, you are weak, it is best not to make any big movements in the early stages of pregnancy..."

Zhen Huan's thing was abruptly stopped. Doctor Wen, but is there something wrong with my fetus?

"Don't worry, my lady, you just need to take good care of yourself. I believe there will be no problem. However, now that you are in the early stages of pregnancy, it is best for you to rest quietly!"

"I see. Then I will leave my body entirely in the hands of Doctor Wen." My lady, rest assured, I will do my best.

"Just as she finished speaking, there were shouts from outside that the Emperor had arrived. A bright yellow hue was seen outside. Zhen Huan asked Liu Zhu to help her stand up. I pay my respects to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with good health."

The emperor took three or two steps forward and personally helped Zhen Huan up. She was already pregnant, why did she still care about these empty formalities? She should get up quickly.

Zhen Huan looked up at the emperor, her eyes full of tenderness, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them sat down, and the emperor asked, "How is it? How many months has it been?"

Wen Shichu stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, the young lady is already two months pregnant. How is the pregnancy going?" Your Majesty, the young lady is a little weak.

"Although the fetus is still stable, it is still necessary to rest for three months to be safe! The emperor's brows flashed with worry."

"I am weak..."

"She nodded. Then she doesn't have to go out to pay respects before three months. Although Zhen Huan had guessed that the emperor would say this, she couldn't easily accept it openly."

After hearing this, she quickly said, "Your Majesty, it is my duty to pay respects to the Empress every morning and evening. I will just be careful when I go out on weekdays."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "The virtuous queen knows the importance of the royal heir, so she will naturally not care about these things. You can rest assured."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan lowered her head and said, "Yes, I thank you very much, Your Majesty." Just as she finished speaking, a loud shout of "The Queen has arrived" came from outside.

"Zhen Huan was about to stand up after hearing this, but the emperor held her down with one hand and she couldn't move. Yi Xiu had already walked in with Jian Qiu. Seeing the two sitting so close, her pupils shrank, and she walked forward with a normal expression to pay her respects to the emperor."

Zhen Huan sat so close to the emperor that it seemed as if the courtesy was offered to both of them. But the two people sitting together seemed not to notice.

"The emperor waved his hand and said, 'No need to be polite.' Zhen Huan then spoke up, 'Please forgive me, Queen. The imperial physician said that I am not feeling well and it is best for me to rest. I cannot pay my respects to you, Queen. Please do not blame me.'"

She wanted to pay her respects, but she couldn't bear the emperor's grip and just sat there obediently. Yixiu's eyes never fell on Zhen Huan, and she walked over to sit opposite.

Then she said, "Never mind, your health is important, so naturally everything should be for you first." After that, she looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Lady Wan was pregnant, so I hurried over to see her. This is a great event."

The emperor was satisfied with Yixiu's performance and nodded. "The queen is virtuous and thank you for your hard work. Imperial Physician Wen just reported that Concubine Wan has been pregnant for two months, but she is weak."

"If the fetus doesn't improve, I'm afraid I'll have to skip the daily morning meetings. Yixiu's expression didn't change at all. Well, the heir to the throne is important, so I won't care."

"As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and said, "This is what I picked out from the storehouse. It is a white jade Guanyin that can deliver children. I remember that this was a reward from the Queen Mother when I was pregnant with Honghui."

"It will be given to Concubine Wan today. The emperor turned his head and saw Jianqiu holding a jade Guanyin as big as his palms. His eyes turned slightly, as if he remembered something!"

"Such good things are rare nowadays. Your Majesty is right, but for the sake of Lady Wan's peace and childbirth, I'm sure the Queen Mother will not blame me for this. Your Majesty can rest assured."

After hearing this, the emperor put his hand on the table and stretched out his hand. Yixiu raised her hand and the emperor shook it vigorously. The empress was thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. As the mistress of the harem, I should do some small things." After saying this, she stood up. Before coming out today, she was sorting out her sister's belongings.

Your Majesty is here to accompany Lady Wan, so I will not stay any longer. I will take my leave. Well, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold.

Yixiu nodded, "Yes, I thank the emperor for his concern." After leaving Shuiyuxuan, the smile on Yixiu's face disappeared instantly.

"Now, even a little bit of concern from words can only be obtained by relying on my gift to others. Haha, Zhen, you are really great."

"He held Jianqiu's hand with a little more force, causing Jianqiu to turn around in surprise, and then he saw the sneer that flashed across Yixiu's mouth."

Jianqiu's heart skipped a beat, Madam......

"Shupin has given birth to the sixth prince, and Xianpin is about to give birth. There are enough children in this palace." Yixiu's voice was low, with only cruelty in her words.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will..."

"Well, just keep it in your heart, why say it out loud? Yes."

.........

Inside Yonghe Palace

"Shen Meizhuang is pregnant with a big belly and a big smile on her face. Now Huan'er is also pregnant. That's great. Caiyue, prepare some gifts. I'm going to Suiyuxuan to take a look."

"Cai Yue's face was full of disapproval. Madam, you are about to give birth, you can't run away. If you want to send a gift, I will run it for you."

"Suo Diao Luo, who was standing by, said: Cai Yue is right, Mei'er, you look like you are about to give birth, how can you walk around freely?"

"Mother"...

"Besides, the situation when she was first pregnant is different from your current situation. No matter how you look at it, Wan Guiren's situation is better than yours now. How can she not come to your house herself, but want you to give her the joy of pregnancy?"

Even if you want to get pregnant, you have to wait until you give birth to the baby safely and have completed the confinement period.

"Madam is right. You can't ignore your own health just because Concubine Wan is so delicate. Hasn't anyone from Suiyuxuan come to tell your Majesty after the news has been out for so long?"

"Before Luo came, Caiyue had something on her mind but didn't dare to say it. Now she dares to say it as if someone is backing her up. She is much bolder."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang glared at Caiyue in disbelief, Caiyue you......

"Don't mention Caiyue's faults. I think she spoke politely. Mei'er, mother knows that you and Concubine Wan have been friends since childhood."

But now you are not at home anymore. After entering the palace, your thoughts and ideas are no longer as pure and simple as before?
