Leng Hong and Su Wanti are about to become parents and are very excited.

Last night, the two of them slept in each other's arms, imagining what their child would look like, and talked until late at night before falling asleep.

The next day, they both got up early, and they were both energetic, without a trace of fatigue on their faces.

Su Wanti wanted to help Leng Hong dress and wash, but Leng Hong pressed her down on the bed and prevented her from getting up.

"My beloved concubine, you must rest well, eat well and get enough sleep, so that our child can grow up well."

Su Wanti smiled and said, "I'm going to see the Queen Mother today. I'm so happy that I can't sleep. Please get up. It's even more uncomfortable lying in bed."

Leng Hong had no choice but to let her get up, but he didn't let her serve him. He only asked her to wear comfortable and warm clothes and sit on the couch, not allowing her to get down.

Su Wanti smiled as she watched Leng Hong wash up, put on the dragon robe, and wear the crown.

Watch him transform from a gentle and generous husband into an intimidating emperor.

Leng Hong chatted with her from time to time. After he had finished cleaning up, he saw that she was still looking at him. Her bright eyes were full of ripples, as if containing tenderness and attachment, and his heart softened.

He reached out his hand and touched her face with a smile.

The amber ring on his thumb was crystal clear, carrying his body temperature, and pressed against the corner of her lips.

Her lips were full and crimson, and the golden light reflected by the amber shone brightly, as bright as the afterglow of the setting sun.

This afterglow fell into Leng Hong's eyes, igniting sparks again.

He lowered his eyes, leaned over, and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"My beloved concubine is so attractive, how can I resist?" Leng Hong sighed.

Su Wanti smiled and pushed him away. "Your Majesty is a man of great things. People who do great things have a stronger character than ordinary people and can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure."

Leng Hong looked at her smiling little face, sighed again, shook his head gently, turned and left.

After Leng Hong left, Su Wanti sat for a while, then began to wash up and have breakfast.

After she had packed up, she went to the small kitchen in Weiyang Palace to get some snacks and put them in a food box.

The food box was carried by Ai Ye, and Su Wanti brought a few palace maids from Weiyang Palace. They followed her to Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

Ai Ye returned to Weiyang Palace a month ago.

That day, she was knocked unconscious, saw blood, felt dizzy, and had a two-inch long wound on her scalp. It took her half a month to heal.

Leng Hong had told her not to tell anyone about the attack so as not to worry Concubine Wan.

She followed the emperor's instructions and said that she was sent out by the emperor to do something, which took half a month to complete.

Su Wanti knew what was going on, but there was no need for her to expose it.

She found an excuse to give Ai Ye a lot of rewards, promoted her to the first-class maid in Weiyang Palace, and trusted her more and more.

Ai Ye and others knew that Su Wanti was pregnant, and took good care of her along the way.

One person led the way in front, and the other two stood in front of Su Wanti on the left and right sides respectively. The two pairs of eyes were like four searchlights, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

There were two more people guarding Su Wanti on both sides. These two people were skilled, quick to react, and agile. They were always ready to block attacks for their master.

Ai Ye followed Su Wanti with two other people. Their ears were particularly alert and they could notice any movement behind them.

Ai Ye was ready to serve as Su Wanti's human cushion at any time.

Su Wanti understood their hard work and was grateful for their careful protection of her. She thought about rewarding them handsomely after giving birth to a child.

She was also extremely careful about this pregnancy. After all, it was her child and her main responsibility...

She had already purchased a protective shield in the system mall. This shield enveloped her like an invisible halo and could block one physical attack for her.

There is no limit on the number of protective shields, and you can buy more after using them up. She has already stockpiled several.

In the last mission, she gave birth to four children and earned tens of thousands of points for herself.

In this life, she doesn't have to worry about points, and she doesn't feel bad about buying any props.

Soon, the group arrived at the Cining Palace.

After Ai Ye explained her purpose to the little palace maid in front of the Cining Palace gate, the little palace maid went into the inner hall to report.

After a while, Nanny Qiao came out and welcomed Su Wanti into the Cining Palace with a smile.

Su Wanti was brought into the inner hall by Nanny Qiao, while Ai Ye and others could only wait at the palace gate.

She carried the food box herself, held her breath, and stood respectfully in the inner hall.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, not daring to look around or move.

She stood and waited for a while, and only knew that the floor of the inner hall of the Cining Palace was paved with polished, smooth, and shiny black jade.

There is a gentle and refreshing fragrance in the hall, which is the scent of agarwood.

She waited a little longer, until her knees felt a little sore, and then she heard footsteps behind her.

The footsteps sounded very steady, and from the sound one could tell how steady, dignified and serious the person coming was.

Su Wanti guessed that it was the Queen Mother coming, and she didn't dare to look up. She listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer until a dark brown figure appeared in front of her.

The dark brown figure did not stay beside her. It walked slowly out of her sight and sat on the couch ten steps away from her.

At this time, Su Wanti took a nearly inaudible breath, put down the food box, and bowed politely.

She knelt, her eyes slightly lowered, "Your concubine, Wan Fei Su, greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

There was no mistake in the movements or sounds.

The Queen Mother's voice rang out above her head, "Stand up, and let me see what kind of person you are to be favored by the Emperor."

The word "exclusively favored" sounded very heavy. Su Wanti knew in her heart that although the empress dowager had summoned her, she was still dissatisfied with the emperor because he only went to her palace and favored her alone, treating the other concubines in the harem as nothing.

Su Wanti lowered her eyes and raised her face.

A bright and pretty little face caught the empress dowager's eye like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

The Queen Mother's narrow eyes lit up, and she understood.

Concubine Wan's face is extremely beautiful. The beauty of all the concubines in the harem combined is not as great as hers. No wonder her son only favors her and doesn't even look at the other concubines.

She is certainly good-looking, but her heart is a little too stingy, not virtuous and generous enough. She is the most favored by the emperor, so shouldn't she advise the emperor from time to time and let him treat her equally and invite other concubines to sleep with him?

The Queen Mother thought secretly in her heart.

But she thought of her son's stubborn temper. As a mother, she couldn't persuade him, so she guessed that no one else could persuade him either.

I think that even if Concubine Wan had advised the emperor to treat everyone equally, the emperor would not have listened.

The emperor only favored Concubine Wan and ignored the affairs of other concubines in the harem. It was really not her fault as a small concubine.

The Queen Mother's mind changed and she figured it out.

She saw Su Wanti standing politely for more than ten minutes after entering the hall, and now she looked very polite and cautious, so she felt that she was not a frivolous person.

Her expression softened, and she said in a deep voice, "Give Concubine Wan a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Wanti's legs were sore, but she didn't frown at all. She sat down quietly and calmly.
