Chang Qing wanted to mention something more to me, but I ignored her several times and changed the topic. I could see that the wrinkles between her eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper. She was suddenly startled, covered her mouth with her hand, and her whole body curled up. .

I stood up in a hurry: "Queen, what's wrong?"

"..." She sat motionless for a while, and then she swallowed hard. Seeing this, I hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table and carefully brought it to her mouth: "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea and press it. ."

She endured a small sip and rested for a long time before she recovered. She sighed and said, "It's so sad to be so nauseous all day long."

I smiled and said, "Isn't this a hurdle that every woman has to go through?"

While helping her soothe her chest and put the tea cup on the small table, Chang Qing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "This is just the beginning."

She was always dignified and elegant, but after she became pregnant, she inevitably had some embarrassing scenes. Even her temper changed, and she even started to complain and act coquettishly. I smiled, helped her rub her chest, and said softly: "Get through this period." That's good. The Queen may as well think about what the child will be like in the future, and she won't be so sad."

After listening to my words, she really thought about it for a long time, but she smiled helplessly and said: "I can't think of it."

Can’t think of it?

Thinking back to when I was pregnant, I would think about it every day. Is this child a boy or a girl? Will he be good-looking in the future? Should he pursue a career in literature or martial arts? Should he learn needlework or chess, calligraphy and painting? When I was pregnant with Lier, I thought He learns more and even thinks about how he will support us when Liu Saner and I are old in the future.

But Chang Qing said that she couldn't think of it.

My hands were still gently massaging her chest, but for some reason, I felt a little stuffy in my chest.

After a while, her face looked better.

As soon as I looked at her better, I heard the sound of people stepping on the snow outside the window. I don't know how sensitive we were. She and I frowned subconsciously, and saw Kuan'er coming in to deliver a message. Nangong Li Zhu is here.

Chang Qing's face immediately returned to its usual calm dignity, and she glanced at me again. I stood up, suddenly walked to her, and whispered a few words to her. Chang Qing was stunned after hearing this, and raised her head. Come and look at me, I whisper: "Queen, trust me."

"..."

Before she could speak, I had already stepped aside. At this time, the door was pushed open, and Li Fei walked in from the outside with a breath of air-conditioning.

I had already stepped aside, but when she came in and saw the two of us, she didn't seem surprised. She still walked in slowly with a charming smile on her face: "I pay my respects to the Queen."

"Get up."

I also took a step forward: "Wei Chen pays homage to Concubine Li."

She smiled and looked down at me: "Isn't Mr. Yue seriously ill? Why didn't he recuperate in Yihua Palace, but came back to Jingren Palace?"

I also laughed: "Weichen is much better now. Thank you, Empress Li Fei, for remembering me."

"Of course I am concerned about it," she said, but there was a hint of coldness in her voice that was not easy to detect: "Hasn't the Emperor also been concerned about it for so long?"

My face also looks bad.

At this time, Chang Qing coughed lightly and said, "Fei Li, what are you doing here today?"

Nangong Lizhu glanced at me again, then turned her head and said softly: "Empress, I have just gone to inspect. Tomorrow's annual banquet is all ready, so I came here with the list to show it to the empress."

"Hmm."

Chang Qing raised her hand and took the order from Kuo'er. She looked at it carefully for a while, then closed her eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sister Li Fei. I'm afraid I haven't slept a wink these days."

The corner of Nangong Lizhu's mouth was a little cold: "How dare I, my concubine, express my bitterness."

"How dare you? Besides, you have to take care of the second prince. Even the emperor told me that day that if my sister was not here, I would not be so lucky to have a safe pregnancy."

These words were naturally meant to praise Nangong Lizhu, but it was another matter to actually hear them in the ears of the person involved.

Nangong Lizhu raised her head and looked at Chang Qing's flat belly, her eyes like needles.

Chang Qing didn't seem to notice it at all. She put down the order, picked up the tea cup on the table and blew the foam on it. She said casually: "By the way, I've been feeling heavy these days and I haven't come over to take a look. 2

How is the prince?"

Nangong Lizhu was stunned for a moment, and her voice lowered slightly: "It's okay."

"What's a good idea?"

"..." Nangong Lizhu seemed to think for a while before saying: "I go to bed very early every day and don't cry much. I think this child is very well-behaved."

"Well, that's good."

Chang Qing nodded, looked at me again, and when I nodded slightly, she pondered for a moment and then said: "Tomorrow's New Year's Eve banquet will be a complicated event, and the children will be frightened. Sister, please don't bring two children."

The prince has gone."

When Nangong Lizhu heard this, his face darkened.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the child goes or not on tomorrow's occasion, but when Chang Qing said this, the meaning was different. It was the queen who asked her to educate the second prince. Although she would definitely not do it herself, but entrusting a child to her, how much

It also requires a lot of hard work, but asking her not to bring it to last year's banquet is clearly an attempt to erase her merit in front of everyone.

And when she thought of the power of the six palaces mentioned earlier, Nangong Lizhu's face became even more ugly.

Chang Qing never raised her eyes, but lowered her head and sipped hot tea: "Did you hear that?"

"..." I almost heard her silver teeth clattering together. After a while, she finally said patiently: "I know, I know."

"Hmm."

Chang Qing nodded, slowly put the tea cup on the small table, raised her head and looked at her with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will have another hard day for my sister."

"The Queen's words are serious."

After saying this, her face turned red with anger and she didn't even bother to say hello, so she said goodbye and turned around to leave.

Seeing her angrily walking out, Chang Qing and I looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, she said softly: "That said, she may not bring it."

I smiled: "That's okay."

"..."

After hearing this, Chang Qing looked at me again, but I just looked at her lightly. I walked up to chat with her for a few more words, then stood up and left.

As soon as I went out, I saw Mingzhu standing under the eaves not far away, seeming to be looking at me eagerly, so I walked over slowly, and she hurriedly said: "Master Yue."

I nodded.

The expression on her face was a little anxious, but she still looked around before lowering her voice and saying: "The Second Prince—"

Chang Qing and I asked Nangong Lizhu to take care of Pei Nianyun before, but we did not inform her about this matter in advance. In addition, I have been sick these days and refused to see guests, so she couldn't come over to ask me. At this time, she had obviously suppressed

He couldn't help it, his face was full of anxiety: "Why did you tell the emperor to let Concubine Li take care of His Highness the Second Prince? That's not——"

I said calmly: "A sheep enters a tiger's mouth?"

"..." Mingzhu choked and said nothing.

I sighed: "Think about it, she only dared to do this when the child was in your hands; if the child was injured beside her, once the emperor asked about it -" I didn't finish, but there was a glint in my eyes.

An almost cold light.

Mingzhu seemed to suddenly realize it at this time: "So that's it, then I understand."

I lightly twitched the corners of my lips.

"By the way, where are the medicines I gave you before?"

"I have already submitted to His Highness," Mingzhu said hurriedly: "But, I think he is still——"

I laughed: "It doesn't matter, it's just a few doses. It will be fine when the child comes back."

Mingzhu glanced at me subconsciously, as if she felt something: "Sir?"

I waved my hand and said: "It's too cold, I have to go back. Take good care of the Queen, her pregnancy -" At this point, I was a little hesitant myself, but Mingzhu took over the words: "I don't know.

I know, they all warned me as soon as I came here. Don’t worry, sir.”

Looking at her cautious and even overly nervous look, I also know that she is the one who comes from Shen Rou's side. As long as she agrees, if something goes wrong, someone will naturally settle the accounts with her, so she takes every step on her own.

They were all cautious. Recalling how timid she was when Nianyun was injured, I can understand a little bit.

In such a harem, it is really not easy to protect yourself.

I nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then turned around and left Jingren Palace.

That night I lay on the bedside and listened to the sound of falling snow all night long.

It wasn't until the sound of people's footsteps started to be heard outside and the sound of rustling snow being swept away that it seemed that the snow had stopped. I put on my clothes and slowly walked to the window and opened it to take a look.

What a vast snow scene that stretches thousands of miles.

As soon as I opened the window, there was wind blowing in the broken snow on the eaves. When it brushed my face, it brought a chill. I shrank slightly and saw Nanny Wu and Shui Xiu holding hot water.

He came over and when he saw me standing by the window, he immediately said: "Sir, why are you doing this again? Be careful of catching a cold!"

I smiled and let them nag me without refuting. After I finished washing, Shuixiu combed my hair into a low bun and carefully decorated it with just a hairpin. I didn’t say anything more.

Look at your own shining eyes reflected in the bronze mirror.

Shui Xiu said: "Sir, you are in great spirits today. Did you sleep well last night?"

I smiled.

Two breakfasts were delivered to the imperial dining room. After a while, Nian Shen also got up and ran over to be beside me. I took him to sit down and have breakfast. I was carefully wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief when I heard a few words.

A young eunuch ran in from outside and saluted us respectfully: "Greetings to Mr. Yue, greetings to His Highness."

I looked back at them: "What's the matter?"

"The banquet in the main hall is ready. Please get up, Mr. Yue and His Highness."

When I heard it deeply, my eyes suddenly shone with excitement, and I shrank from the stool with a sound. Seeing his excitement, I smiled too and reached out: "Your Highness."

He immediately stretched out his little hand to hold my fingertips, raised his head and looked at me: "Aunt Qing, there will be a lot of delicious food at the New Year banquet, right?"

I laughed: "It sounds like Aunt Qing is hungry for your food."

He smiled shyly, then raised his head and looked at me: "Will there be many good things to see?"

He was still young, and he was not allowed to attend every annual banquet before. Finally, he got a chance, and he was so excited. I smiled and reached out to caress his cheek: "I will."
