Chapter 4 Visitation

Yueqiyan rubbed her flat belly, and her heart was filled with emotions. Since the day she knew that her husband had successfully ascended the throne, she seemed to have suddenly lost her goal and lived her own life in a daze. The rule that concubines in the harem were not allowed to interfere in politics was like a shackle that made her unable to move. However, what was even more terrifying was the loneliness in the deep palace. Sisters who could say a few words in the past were estranged, and their words were light in daily life, as if one more word might bring unexpected disasters. Only Feng Wuhen, the newly ascended emperor, would occasionally show a sincere smile in front of her, although she knew that it represented more comfort rather than warmth. Perhaps, Yueqiyan, who worked hard for many complicated matters day and night, could no longer appear in the world.

However, she was pregnant with a dragon seed at this time, which was something she had never thought of before. Yue Qiyan looked at the bowl of soup handed over by the maid Xianer beside her and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Queen Mother Xiao and Queen Hai Ruoxin sent people to deliver a bunch of various supplements, which was not counting. I heard that the whole palace had been warned, and if there were any mistakes, these people would not be able to get rid of them. In this way, she even stood up and walked a few steps, and someone followed her step by step, fearing that anything would go wrong.

"Empress, Empress Ru is here to see you." She was in a daze and suddenly heard a report from a palace maid and was stunned again. Feng Wuhen had recently ascended the throne and there were few concubines in the palace. Therefore, the concubines in each palace did not usually walk around frequently. They would only stay for a while when they went to Cining Palace or Kunning Palace to pay their respects. She knew that the only one among Hong Rushi who had been in the palace for a long time, and the one with the least airs was the one with the least airs, so they had always got along well.

"It's just a happy pulse, and I have to come to see me. They're so terrible." Yue Qiyan stood up to greet me, but was surprised to find a strange face beside Hongru. "It's good now, this little guy has been struggling so hard that I can't move before he was born. It's really trivial."

Hongru still had that gentle smile on her face, "My sister is pregnant with a dragon fetus, how can I not come to congratulate you? Otherwise, she would be too disgusting." She actually helped Yue Qiyan and sat down carefully, then she said, "I am a person who has experienced it, how could I not know the suffering? This mother is the most painful and happiest thing in the world for ten months. My sister is pregnant at this time, and the emperor is about to ascend the throne. Wouldn't it be a double happiness?"

Yue Qiyan knew that Hongru was saying the truth, so it was not convenient to say anything. She became interested in the palace maid who followed Hongru. According to the rules in the palace, ordinary palace maids could leave the palace to get married when they were twenty-five years old, unless they were the confidant of each palace master, or if they were unwilling to leave the palace, they would be exceptional.

"Sister, have you changed a group of people in the palace? I didn't seem to have seen her before." Yue Qiyan asked curiously. It is important to know that the personal service of concubines in each palace is fixed, and there is no reason to change it easily. What's more, Hongru has always been kind to others and will not depose the palace maids around her because of trivial matters.

"Are you talking about Lu Yin?" Hongru suddenly realized and then replied with a smile, "You also know that when the emperor was in the palace, he lived in Fenghua Palace, which is my current bedroom. Lu Yin was the emperor's personal palace maid like me back then." She did not hesitate to her origins at all, and waved her hand to signal Lu Yin to step forward a few steps. "Later, after the emperor left the palace and left the mansion, we sisters had almost never seen each other. Unexpectedly, the emperor pointed out Fenghua Palace to me this time, and the empress nodded extra, so that she had the opportunity to meet again."

Lu Yin hurriedly saluted, her face full of humble smiles. Ten years of palace years were enough to make a person change earthly. She was not as blessed as Hong. Although she had seen Xiao once and received a task, she ended up being in a waste of time because Feng Wuhen left the palace and lived apart. There were too many eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it was so difficult for her to do so. No matter what, she was not on her head. Over time, she became the current look of shrunk and carefulness.

Yue Qiyan was surprised. After looking at Lu Yin for a while, she found that there were some wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, and the skin at the corners of her mouth seemed to have some signs of looseness. If it were according to Hongru's previous statement, this woman was only twenty-five years old at most, and she was only due to worry and loneliness. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Hongru and Lu Yin were Feng Wuhen's personal maids at the beginning, but in the end they were in the sky and the ground, and they encountered two heavens.

"It turned out to be the sister of that day. It's no wonder that my sister is so polite to her." Yue Qi said this on the cigarette mouth, but his eyes were never stopped, which made Lu Yin feel scared. Although she didn't know much about this Concubine Xun, just some of the remarks she heard from Hongru was enough to make her very alert.

Yue Qiyan smiled and held Hongru's hand, signaling her to sit down, and then said, "I didn't go to congratulate my sister before. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually gave the Fenghua Palace that he had lived in to her as a bedroom. No concubine can match this relationship." Seeing that Hongru seemed a little shy, she stopped teasing and asked about the current situation of the two children.

Although his identity is different from the past, because Ling Yun's ancestral system did not strictly restrict the relationship between the concubines and children in the harem, Hong Ru and the twins were not completely separated, but were just separated by a palace. Speaking of them, Hong Ru certainly looked like she was dancing, and even the smoke was a little excited. The two were chatting happily, but a eunuch outside shouted loudly: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned at the same time, then stood up and went out to greet him. Of course, Hongru thoughtfully helped Yue Qiyan and instructed him: "Sister, be careful. Don't think that you can underestimate yourself after being pregnant for less than three months. If there are any omissions, it will be too late. There are so many miscellaneous things in this palace, don't slap your body."

Yueqiyan was moved and nodded vigorously. Then the two of them came to the outside of the hall together. They saw that one was wearing a red palace dress and the other was wearing a blue robe, which was like two beautiful flowers of each color. Although their appearance was not very outstanding, their long-term pampering life made them look quite charming, and even Feng Wuhen, who had just entered Zhong and the Palace, was no exception.

"I didn't expect that I was a coincidence today." He signaled the two women to get up, and ordered the smoke to rise, "You are a person with a body. You don't have to be so polite in the future. Even if you don't come out for a few steps, no one will blame you. Has the imperial doctor been here today? Have you ever used tonic?"

Hongru next to her couldn't help but smile, "The emperor is really caring. Her sister was nagging to me just now, saying that it was because of the tonics that made her dizzy. Now even when she walks, people are watching her, saying that she is not very excited!" She helped Yueqiu on the other side, and continued to help, "It's true that the emperor is busy with government affairs, but she should also care about her sister more. She is now pregnant with a dragon seed and cannot be neglected."

Feng Wuhen certainly knew Hongru's intention, so he looked at her gratefully, and then turned his head. Inadvertently, he glanced at the figure beside Hongru, and was stunned. He seemed to remember something, but he seemed to have no impression at all. Although he had been to Fenghua Palace several times these days, he always left in a hurry and returned in a hurry. There was no time to recognize people, so Luyin never found an opportunity. At this moment, she knew that the opportunity was rare, so she knelt down and greeted her: "I am Luyin, who is the emperor!"

Green Estate, Green Estate? Feng Wuhen suddenly remembered what this name represents, and his eyes suddenly became gentle. "Luyin, I haven't seen you for many years, and I never thought that I would be here when I saw you again." His words were filled with some emotion, "Since that year, I opened the palace to be king, you have stayed in Fenghua Palace. I guess you have suffered a lot, right?"

When the emperor suddenly asked this question, Lu Yin could no longer bear it. The resentment and helplessness that had been accumulated in his heart for many years burst out instantly. She sobbed and kowtowed, "As long as the emperor still remembers me, I will have no regrets. My side and others are just trying to make a living in the palace."

"If I remember correctly, you should have let the palace go. I will let the queen take charge tomorrow and choose a good family for you. I think you have suffered a lot for me back then, so you can enjoy the peace and happiness in the future."

Lu Yin suddenly felt a shock and kowtowed and refused, "The emperor clearly understands that I am just a humble palace maid. Even if I marry someone else, this person is a pretty man. I am afraid that he will stay alone in the empty room in the future, so he dare not accept the emperor's kindness. Concubine Ru treats me like her sisters. I am willing to serve her for the rest of her life, and she is not willing to leave the palace to marry. I also ask the emperor for kindness."

Obviously, no one of the three presents expected Lu Yin to answer like this. Hongru was stunned when the first one was the first, while Yue Qiyan keenly noticed the woman's intentions and couldn't help but sneer. Perhaps the kind-hearted Hongru would take her to serve her, but when encountering such a problem, even Feng Wuhen herself would not have any other ideas easily. Twenty-five years old, for the woman in the deep palace, not showing up means no chance. No wonder she is so anxious.

Feng Wuhen was not easily deceived by the friendship of the past, so after staring at the woman kneeling on the ground, he said lightly: "The queen has always been the master of the matter in the palace, and I am not convenient to interfere. If you really have the will, please ask the queen for the grace. However, I still mean that you have been in the deep palace for so many years, and you should change the environment. Being a life-long wife outside is better than being a palace maid, right?"
