"Seventh Prince's wife, may I come in?" a maid asked outside the door, holding a basin of water.
She knew that without Cui Mixue's consent, she could not enter his room. After all, pregnant women tend to have worse tempers.
Outside the door was her personal maid. Cui Mixue recognized that the maid's name was Dongmei, and she was the one recently sent by the emperor to serve her.
Seeing that she was still young, Cui Mixue took her into her room and made her her personal maid.
"Come in." Cui Mixue said. After Dong Mei came in, she asked her if anything had happened recently.
After all, she was young and didn't have such deep thoughts. Dongmei only knew that the emperor had sent her to serve this master, so she listened to Cui Mixue's words in everything.
Now that she heard her master asking her, she told him about what had happened recently.
"There's nothing major going on recently with the Seventh Prince's Consort. I just heard that the Prime Minister's eldest daughter has also entered the palace and has been named a concubine by the Emperor."
Dongmei thought that since Cui Mixue was a member of the royal family, she would naturally care more about the royal family, so she told this matter.
If you ask how Dongmei knew about this, she has to thank the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister sent two daughters into the palace in succession, especially his eldest daughter, who was not chosen as a concubine.
Although the banquet he wanted to hold was not successful, he was still very happy, so the matter was spread out.
"What, you are talking about the Prime Minister's eldest daughter Lin Xiaoxiang?" Cui Mixue was a little bit unbelievable. She was very sure that Lin Xiangru had already entered the palace, which meant that their plan had not failed, but why did Lin Xiaoxiang enter the palace now?
"Change your clothes for me, I want to enter the palace." After hearing this news, Cui Mixue could no longer sit still. She had to find out what was going on.
Dongmei was a little hesitant. Just because she listened to Cui Mixue, it didn't mean she didn't know that Cui Mixue was now confined in the mansion and not allowed to go out. If she wanted to enter the palace, she had to get permission from the people in the palace.
"Seventh Prince's Consort, has anyone in the palace invited you?" Dongmei asked cautiously. After all, the consort of a fallen prince was not someone a small figure like her could afford to offend.
He didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only test it cautiously in this way, hoping that Cui Mixue could understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Cui Mixue frowned and wanted to curse, but then she thought, she had finally found someone to serve her, and if the emperor withdrew the person, it would not be convenient for her with her pregnant belly.
Thinking of this, Cui Mixue suppressed her displeasure and said to Dongmei, "I actually forgot to give the Queen a note. Go to the palace and talk to the Queen. Tell her that I have something I want to discuss with her."
Hearing Cui Mixue say this, Dongmei quickly responded and rushed to the palace.
After giving Su Mengyan the information, Dongmei felt uneasy, fearing that the Queen would blame her, but she did not dare not report the matter.
"The Empress said that the Seventh Prince's wife should come. You go back and prepare!" Bixia came out and said to Dongmei.
Dongmei sighed and went back to dress up Cui Mixue.
As for Su Mengyan, Bixia found a set of looser clothes for her. This was Su Mengyan's instruction. Her belly was not very big, and wearing a larger dress was enough to cover her belly.
That’s right, she just didn’t want Cui Mixue to find out that she was pregnant.
Given Cui Mixue's personality, if she knew that I was pregnant, I don't know what means she would use. And this time she asked to see me, I don't know why.
"Your Majesty, you don't actually have to see her." Bixia looked at Su Mengyan and said.
However, Su Mengyan said, "If I don't see her this time, she will come next time. We will meet sooner or later. It's better to solve the problem now while the belly is not obvious."
So that's how it is. Bixia felt helpless: "Then your Majesty must take care to protect yourself."
Her heart warmed, and Su Mengyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Not long after, Cui Mixue came to the palace. She first bowed to Su Mengyan according to the rules, and then the two sat together and chatted.
Cui Mixue kept chatting about family matters, but Su Mengyan didn't take it seriously. She just followed her every move. Since she didn't bring up the topic, there was no need for her to initiate the conversation.
Sure enough, seeing that Su Mengyan didn't ask about her purpose, Cui Mixue couldn't help but say, "I don't know how the Seventh Prince is doing now."
Oh, it turns out her target is Situ Zhao.
Su Mengyan smiled slightly: "Seventh Prince Consort, why are you asking when you already know the answer? After all, you are a man from the royal family. You have been accustomed to fine clothes and delicious food since childhood. It is natural that you were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but you should be much better now."
I clearly wanted to visit Situ Zhao, but Su Mengyan actually said this.
Since she wanted to pretend that she didn't understand, I would just say it clearly.
"What I mean is, I want to go and see the Seventh Prince. After all, we are husband and wife. I know he is guilty of the death penalty, so every chance of seeing him is better." Cui Mixue had tears in her eyes at this moment, which made people feel distressed.
Unfortunately, she was facing a woman, and an enemy at that. Su Mengyan was unmoved by Cui Mixue's tears.
"If that's the case, I think you've found the wrong person. Without the Emperor's consent, even I can't easily go see the Seventh Prince."
Even after I said so much, she still disagreed.
"Isn't the Queen a bit too cruel?" Cui Mixue's tears disappeared in an instant, and her eyes were filled with viciousness.
But Su Mengyan remained unmoved. She had no control over Situ Zhao's affairs, and she was unwilling to let Cui Mixue and Situ Zhao meet.
Helpless, Cui Mixue had to leave, and Biyun led Cui Mixue out of the palace. Cui Mixue had not seen Lin Xiangru yet, so naturally she was unwilling to leave at this time.
With a slight turn of her eyes, a plan came to her mind. Cui Mixue suddenly covered her stomach and said to Biyun, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest. Go get me a doctor."
Biyun didn't want Cui Mixue to leave her sight, but Cui Mixue was holding her stomach, obviously feeling uncomfortable. After all, there was a child in her belly. What would she do if something happened to the child because of her hesitation?
Thinking of this, Biyun no longer hesitated. She helped Cui Mixue to a nearby pavilion and asked Cui Mixue to wait there and not leave while she went to call the imperial physician.
However, this was just an excuse of Cui Mixue. She originally wanted to get Biyun away, so how could she possibly wait here for Biyun to come back?
Watching Biyun walk away, the painful expression on Cui Mixue's face disappeared instantly. She gave a mocking smile in the direction Biyun left and left the spot.
