Chapter 178: Visiting the Imperial Garden

Even though she was allowed to leave the palace this time with the emperor's grace, Zhen Huan knew that she could not stay outside the palace for long. After confirming that Yuyan was fine, she had a brief conversation with her mother and prepared to return to the palace.

"Doctor Wen, I leave Yuyan in your care. Please take good care of her and her child. If you need anything, please let me know."

"Please rest assured, Empress Xi, I will never let Yuyan suffer any injustice and will take good care of her and her child."

"In this case, I am relieved."

Liu Zhu went into the room again to check on Yuyan out of concern. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he did not disturb her any more. However, he felt reluctant to leave her because he didn't know when they would meet again after today's farewell.

There is one more important thing. The baby that Yuyan just gave birth to is really cute. Although it is just born, it looks particularly lovable in her eyes. She wishes she could take her back to the palace. However, she thinks that if she really does this, Yuyan will definitely come to settle the score with her when she wakes up.

"Why? Are you so reluctant?"

On the way back, Zhen Huan saw that she seemed to be in a low mood.

"I just saw that the baby was very well-behaved. I really like him. I wonder when Yuyan will be able to bring him into the palace to play with us."

"You are thinking so far ahead. The child was just born today. If we can bring him into the palace, it will take at least a few months. There will be a lot of waiting."

"Yes, we can't meet casually in the palace."

This time when Liu Zhu left the palace, she truly felt how difficult it was to leave. She had always been by Zhen Huan's side and didn't feel much, but this time when she followed Zhen Huan out of the palace, she realized that she hadn't seen the sky outside the palace for a long time.

"Why, do you still think that my idea of ​​letting you get married is a bad one? If you leave the palace and get married, you can see Yuyan's child at any time."

There was nothing to do on the way back to the palace, so Zhen Huan teased Liu Zhu.

"That won't do. No matter how much I love someone outside the palace, my lady is still the most important in my heart. Wherever my lady is, I will be there."

Compared with separation from the young lady, other things became less important, and Liu Zhu never changed his mind.

"You silly girl..."

Zhen Huan really didn't know what to say to Liu Zhu, but her words did warm her heart.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go to bed. You haven't slept well in the past two days."

After returning to Yiku Palace, Zhen Huan saw Liuzhu yawning from time to time, and felt very distressed so she asked her to go down first.

"Thank you, my lady. I will go to sleep for a while. If you need anything, please wake me up."

Although Liu Zhu was indeed very sleepy at this time, she was still a little worried about Zhen Huan.

"Okay, don't worry, I still have Jinxi here."

"good."

After the room quieted down, Zhen Huan went to check on the twins first. Seeing that they were already fast asleep, she did not go in to disturb them and quietly returned to her own bedroom.

The next morning, after learning that Zhen Huan had returned to the palace last night, the emperor came to Yongshou Palace immediately after the morning court session.

"Huanhuan, I feel much better after leaving the palace and seeing my family this time."

The emperor knew that Zhen Huan had been wronged by what happened before, so he tried his best to make up for it in other things. Taking advantage of Yuyan's delivery to let Zhen Huan leave the palace and reunite with her family was also a good choice.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I am very happy to see my family. Now that I see Yuyan has given birth safely, I am relieved."

It’s not that Zhen Huan doesn’t know what the emperor is thinking, but the damage caused by some things cannot be undone with just a few words.

"Hanhuan, don't be envious. After you recover, we will have many children in the future."

After hearing what the emperor said, Zhen Huan just smiled and said nothing.

No matter how many children you have, they are not the same as the original one after all. They are still different.

The Emperor had no way of knowing what Zhen Huan was really thinking. He took Zhen Huan's hand and walked into the courtyard. Seeing that the weather was exceptionally sunny today, he decided to take Zhen Huan for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

"It has been a long time since my sisters and I have visited the Imperial Garden together. If the Emperor doesn't mind, why don't we invite Sister Hua and Sister Mei along, as well as Shu, Jing, and the children. This will surely make it much more lively."

Zhen Huan was unwilling to deal with the emperor anymore, but in order to prevent him from seeing her emotions, she wanted to get together with everyone. That way, even if she ignored the emperor, no one would notice anything unusual.

"Okay, Huanhuan, this is a very good decision. I will send someone to pass on the message right away."

The emperor had no objection to Zhen Huan's idea, and he immediately asked Su Peisheng to make arrangements.

"Why is the Emperor in such a good mood today that he wants me to go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll?"

Nian Shilan was not very surprised when she received the message from Su Peisheng.

It would be a waste of time to be in the Imperial Garden with the Emperor in such nice weather. She would rather spend this time chatting with Zhen Huan and her sisters.

"Empress Xi and the Emperor are heading to the Imperial Garden. I, as instructed by the Emperor, have come to invite the others to come and enjoy the flowers together."

It was not known whether the unhappy expression on Nian Shilan's face was too obvious or Su Peisheng had not explained his words clearly just now, but when Nian Shilan did not move, Su Peisheng spoke again to explain a few words.

"I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Su. I will be right here."

When Nian Shilan heard this, she was completely confused. It must be that Sister Huan didn't want to be alone with the emperor, so she thought of bringing them along. As her good sister, she naturally had to help her solve her problems.

"Shuhe, let's go. Mother Hua will take you to play with your younger brothers and sisters."

In that case, Nian Shilan happily accepted the invitation.

When she arrived, Chen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, Concubine Jing and others had already arrived.

"I see the sun is shining brightly today, and Concubine Xi is in the mood to go out for a walk. I thought it would be better to call you all over, so that it will be lively together."

"It is a blessing for us sisters that the emperor cares so much about me and others. I am naturally overjoyed."

Nian Shilan's words were becoming more and more harsh. If Zhen Huan didn't know her very well, she would have thought that these words came from her heart.

Children are innocent after all. Once they get together, they hold hands and run around playing.

The emperor felt deeply moved when he saw the concubines living in harmony and his children having fun together, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

"It is truly a blessing for me to have you by my side."
