I heard Consort Zhen's voice.
Pearl ran in from outside: "Your Highness, why did you get up? Didn't the imperial physician say that you should rest in bed?"
Consort Zhen frowned slightly as she noticed the somewhat flustered look on her face. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Pearl was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this servant dares not."
"Who were you talking to just now?" Consort Zhen's brows furrowed even more.
"Your Majesty, please don't ask anymore." Pearl knelt down and kowtowed.
"Pearl, I see you're doing this job better and better," Consort Zhen said coldly.
"Your Majesty." Pearl was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly. "Your Majesty, you are in poor health right now. You should rest and recover first. The Imperial Kitchen just sent some porridge. Let me serve you some."
"Pearl!" Consort Zhen's eyes flashed coldly, and she gritted her teeth, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You ignored what I said, didn't you? I'm asking you, who were you talking to just now?"
Pearl's body trembled violently: "Your Majesty..."
She paused, then looked up at Consort Zhen: "Yes... Your Majesty."
Your Majesty!?
When Emperor Yuanwu came to see her last night, didn't he say he wanted to go back to Yixiang Pavilion to read the memorials?
She even tried her best to persuade him to stay.
Emperor Yuanwu also seemed preoccupied with official duties and refused to stay overnight at her place.
It's not that he's unwilling.
It wasn't because he was tied up with official duties.
She simply doesn't deserve it.
He simply didn't want to stay overnight at her place.
Why did he suddenly stop being so busy after he went to see Consort Shu?
Consort Zhen stared blankly at the ground for a while, then suddenly a wide smile appeared on her lips.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't do this. Please take care of your health." Pearl got up from the ground and helped Consort Zhen up. "Perhaps the Emperor saw the Seventh Princess yesterday and couldn't bear to leave. Once you give birth to the little prince for the Emperor, he will love you just as much."
"Heh." Consort Zhen sneered, reaching out to touch her belly, her eyes filled with disappointment as she said, "Can she really give birth? Even if she can, can she really raise her?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. The young prince is very sensitive about it." Pearl's expression hardened.
"What if it's a princess?" Consort Zhen shook her head.
“A princess is good too,” Pearl comforted. “Look how much our Emperor dotes on the Seventh Princess.”
yes!
Emperor Yuanwu doted on the Seventh Princess.
But he truly loved his daughter.
He still only likes his seventh daughter.
"Your Highness, would you like me to help you pack your things and return to Qingfeng Garden?" Pearl asked tentatively.
Consort Zhen paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.
It was evening.
Qiluan Garden has returned to its former tranquility.
Consort Shu was holding Mu Qianqian in the courtyard, feeding the seven-colored birds.
Bin'er tidied up her palace and came out: "Your Majesty, Consort Zhen has returned to Qingfeng Garden."
"Was everything alright on the road?" Consort Shu asked casually.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Physician Li accompanied us the whole time, and he took our pulse upon arriving at Qingfeng Garden. There are no problems at all," Bin'er said.
"That's good." Consort Shu took Mu Qianqian's hand, stuffed the last grain of rice into the seven-colored bird's beak, and turned to walk towards the courtyard.
Bin'er put down what she was holding and followed behind Consort Shu.
"Your Highness, Consort Zhen said yesterday that she wanted to stay in our Qiluan Garden for a few more days, but today she just got up and is already clamoring to go back to Qingfeng Garden?" Bin'er frowned and muttered softly.
