Chapter 144 Blank Imperial Edict
Liu Yuetang originally thought it was an imperial edict for promotion, but she never expected that it was an imperial edict with content drafted by herself.
Or perhaps, this is not just an imperial decree, but also her life-saving talisman.
Xiao Heng was willing to give him this imperial edict because he knew that he would not ask for anything too presumptuous.
In his eyes, I always thought I was a person who did not fight or compete and was very sensible.
Liu Yuetang's eyes were filled with moving tears. She stared at Xiao Heng's soft moon-like face and called out emotionally, "Your Majesty..."
"No need to thank me, no need to be moved, everything is what Miaomiao deserves."
He held up Liu Yuetang's face, which was as bright as the autumn moon, lowered his head and slowly moved closer, their noses touching, and their exhaled breaths intertwined ambiguously.
"Wait for me to come and take you out of Yaoyue Palace."
After saying this, Xiao Heng rubbed the tip of his nose against the tip of Liu Yuetang's nose, then let go of her cheek and walked out quickly.
"I am waiting here for the Emperor."
The voice of the woman behind him made him pause.
Xiao Heng suppressed the urge to stay overnight and turned around to see Liu Yuetang smiling at him, like the brightest star in the night, bright and moving.
At this moment, it felt like I was going to be away from home for a long time.
And Miaomiao was waiting for his wife at home.
Xiao Heng raised his lips slightly and nodded slightly at Liu Yuetang.
From that day on, Concubine Yan asked Xiao Heng to exempt her from paying her daily respects, using the reason of protecting her pregnancy.
She knew that after this incident, Concubine Yu would definitely not let her go.
The concubines in the six palaces are probably also thinking about how to deal with the children in their unborn children.
Therefore, Concubine Yan did not dare to go out again and stayed in the palace every day to take care of her pregnancy.
Concubine Yu was afraid that Xiao Heng's suspicions were still there, so she sent snacks or soup to the emperor every day.
But every time, Xiao Heng accepted it and even went to Yihe Palace to have two meals.
Only then did Concubine Yu feel completely relieved, and from time to time she would summon Concubine Rong to her palace for a short visit.
As for what they are planning, it goes without saying.

Yiyuan Palace.
"Look, my lady, the Emperor was worried that you would be bored, so he specially sent you a fish tank."
Ping'er was delighted and pointed to the courtyard.
Concubine Yan looked in the direction of Ping'er's hand and saw a tall and large blue and white fish tank.
The fish pattern on it is lifelike and the colors are rich and gorgeous.
Concubine Yan's eyes lit up with joy, and she took Ping'er's hand and walked towards the fish tank.
The water in the fish tank is crystal clear, and the colorful koi fish swim lightly on the water plants, their fins shining with golden light in the sun, looking very vivid and gorgeous.
Looking at the flowing tail, Concubine Yan couldn't help but recite, "Who cut the light silk into a dance costume? The water ripples gently, and the fish are plump and brocade-scaled. These fish are the best of the best koi."
Ping'er said jokingly with a cheerful face: "The Emperor dotes on my young lady. He gives you everything good, except the stars and the moon in the sky."
Yan Jieyu rolled her eyes at her coquettishly: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not lying. Look, these past few days, even though you were pregnant, the Emperor stayed in Jinyuan Palace every day."
Concubine Yan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.
The emperor really doted on her and loved the baby in her womb.
Not only did she have the emperor's company every day, but even the food she ate was the same as the empress's.
In order to avoid a repeat of what happened to Xianglan last time, the emperor directly transferred a palace maid from the imperial court to serve him.
This is an honor that neither the pregnant Concubine Rong nor Concubine Su has.
As long as she safely gives birth to an imperial heir, she will be directly promoted to one of the four concubines, on par with the Jade Concubine.
By then, she, who has an heir to the throne, will be the head of the four concubines and the most glorious person in the palace.
However, what surprised Yan Jieyu was.
Since he could not sleep with the emperor, he only turned over the green card once or twice a month, and stayed in his own palace the rest of the time.
Wouldn’t the Emperor think...
She stroked her belly gently: "Ping'er, why do you think the emperor dotes on me so much?"
"Is it just because of my appearance?"
Concubine Yan stroked her flawless white cheek.
She knew that she had a good appearance, especially her skin.
The words I heard most often since I was a child were that my skin was flawless and so delicate that it could be broken by a baby.
But there was never a shortage of beauties in the palace; even the demoted Xi Yunu was more beautiful than herself.
"Appearance is certainly important, but my lady, you have a good temper, and the Emperor enjoys being with you."
Ping'er's words resolved the doubts in Yan Jieyu's heart.
That's right. If the emperor still doesn't like her, then all her decades of hard work will be in vain.
Since she was born, she has two older brothers. Although they are both born out of wedlock, they are deeply loved by their father.
Because in the father's eyes, only his son can inherit the title, bring honor to the family, and carry on the family line.
So since she was old enough to understand, her mother taught her how to please others and how to disguise herself.
As expected, she became one of the most noble ladies in the capital, smart, beautiful, and with a beautiful face.
The number of people proposing marriage almost broke down the threshold.
But my father said that only the most noble man in the world could be worthy of the pearl he had raised in his hands.
In fact, she knew very well that her father had become more and more ambitious in recent years. The reason why she loved her so much was that he regarded her as a pawn to bring honor to the family.
However, Situ Nanzhi was not willing to live a mediocre life. She also wanted to be the most dazzling woman in the world.
She had been paving the way to becoming a favored concubine for a full ten years. If she had not fallen ill during the selection last year, she would have entered the palace last year.
At an age when others were still playing and having fun, she had to learn to disguise her emotions and learn to be the person that her elders liked.
While others were still dreaming of marrying a husband, she was learning bed skills from the girls in the brothel, how to be gentle and delicate, and how to make men intoxicated.
Her current level of achievement, unmatched by anyone in the six palaces, is the result of her years of hard work.
It is also what Situ Nanzhi deserves.
Now all she wanted to do was to give birth to the baby safely, so that she wouldn't have to worry about the wealth and glory of her later life.
"Ping'er, everything that enters and leaves Jinyuan Palace must be inspected one by one. There must be no mistakes."
Ping'er quickly agreed.
*****
In Jinxiu Pavilion, Liu Yuetang was leaning on the couch reading a book, but she heard a woman's voice coming from outside Yaoyue Palace, as if she was begging for something.
Liu Yuetang sat up and raised her voice, "Liu Zheng, is there anyone outside Yaoyue Palace?"
Liu Zheng came in from outside and bowed, saying, "My lady, it's Concubine Rong and Concubine Su who are here."
Liu Yuetang was very surprised. At this time, Jinxiu Pavilion was a place that everyone avoided, but Concubine Rong and Concubine Su would actually come here.
Although she had never expected any sisterly love, Liu Yuetang was happy that there was still someone who cared about her when she was down.
And Concubine Rong must have something to tell me since she came here.
Liu Yuetang quickly got up and walked out.
