"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Pearl ran towards Qingfeng Garden.
Upon hearing the commotion, Consort Zhen came out of her palace: "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened? Did the people from the Imperial Household Department make things difficult for you again?"
"No, no," Pearl said, breathless from running.
"They've embezzled your monthly allowance again?" Consort Zhen's lips turned white with anger.
"No, no!" Pearl put one hand on her hip, bent over, and waved her other hand frantically.
"What exactly happened? You're really driving me crazy." Consort Zhen paced back and forth, hands on her hips, somewhat agitated.
Since becoming pregnant, she has been taking bitter medicine three times a day, making her life miserable.
In addition, the Emperor had not visited Qingfeng Garden for a long time.
Even when I came to Qingfeng Garden before, it was to see Zuo Qianrou.
Now even Zuo Qianrou has fallen out of favor.
People in this palace treat others differently based on their status.
Gradually, Qingfeng Garden became lacking something, but naturally no one paid attention to it.
In addition, she has been on bed rest and recuperation since she became pregnant.
Not to mention the entire palace.
Even she herself felt that this pregnancy was doomed.
"It was...it was Xiao Dezi who just told Your Highness to prepare for dinner tonight, as the Emperor is coming to our palace for a meal."
Consort Zhen: ? ? ?
What?
"Really? The Emperor is coming to our palace? Are you sure you heard me right? Qingfeng Garden, our palace?" Consort Zhen repeated uncertainly.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's from our palace." Pearl was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
The solemn expression on Consort Zhen's face vanished in an instant.
A smile curved her lips, and she unconsciously touched her temple.
"That……"
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace to freshen up." Pearl helped Consort Zhen up.
Consort Zhen lowered her eyes shyly, but her eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.
Since becoming pregnant.
Because she was feeling unwell and suffering from severe morning sickness, she hadn't dressed up for a long time.
She takes supplements all day long, and she looks much fatter than before, and many of her clothes no longer fit.
Why did the Emperor suddenly decide to come?
She thought the emperor had long forgotten about her.
Consort Zhen spent a long time browsing through her wardrobe before finally choosing a light pink fabric and putting it on with satisfaction.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
"Since you are pregnant, there's no need for formalities. Please get up." Emperor Yuanwu extended a hand and helped Consort Zhen to her feet.
Turning to Wu Jixiang, he said, "Consort Zhen is pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to attend court ceremonies. From today onwards, she is exempt from attending court ceremonies in the palaces, and she does not need to go to the Empress's palace either. We will discuss it again after she gives birth to the prince and is out of confinement."
"Yes!" Wu Jixiang replied.
Consort Zhen's lips trembled with excitement, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Emperor Yuanwu touched her belly and said, "She seems to have grown quite a bit."
"This child will probably be mischievous when he is born, kicking me all day long for no reason."
Consort Zhen was speaking.
As if the child in her womb could understand what she was saying, it kicked at the spot where Emperor Yuanwu's hand was.
Emperor Yuanwu was startled at first, then a deep smile appeared on his lips.
The previous princes, because they were too young and had just ascended the throne, did not receive much attention when their mothers were pregnant.
It was just that I was a little happier when I found out.
When Consort Shu was pregnant with Mu Qianqian, she was confined to Qiluan Garden.
Throughout his pregnancy, he did not meet with Consort Shu.
This was the first time Emperor Yuanwu had truly felt fetal movement.
