Chapter 21: Delicate Palace Maid VS Cold-blooded Emperor 21

Ever since she moved into the Cining Palace, this usually old-fashioned palace has become much more lively because of her arrival.

The queen mother held the teacup in her hand, looking expectant, "Ruan Ruan, when will you come play cards with us again?"

"If mother wants, I'm ready anytime!" Su Zhiruan put down the teacup and winked at the empress dowager.

"According to the estimated time, the emperor should have left the court. He might be rushing here at this time. Let's wait until he leaves." After the empress dowager finished speaking, she nodded deeply, and the old maids around her also smiled quietly with their hands covering their mouths.

These days, not only the Empress Dowager, but even the old maids serving her felt the change in the atmosphere in the Cining Palace.

Originally, the imperial concubine would occasionally come to the Cining Palace, but she had a willful personality and usually came here to make complaints or grumble that the emperor did not come to see her. Occasionally, she would even get angry and take her anger out on the old maids, so that when everyone saw her, they would immediately want to stay away from her.

The emperor was troubled by the issue of offspring and seldom came to the Cining Palace except for necessary greetings.

But after Su Zhiruan came, everyone gradually fell in love with her, and she became the well-deserved darling of the group.

Su Zhiruan is a gentle person, and sometimes she can think of many novel ways to have fun. She gives people a very comfortable feeling when she gets along with everyone. Whether she speaks or behaves in a way that makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

After she came, there was never a single conflict between her and the empress dowager. The empress dowager really loved her like her own daughter, and the servants took better care of her.

Su Zhiruan was in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. After Shen Qi finished his court every day, he would come to the Cining Palace to pay his respects and then ask about her well-being.

In short, her appearance made the empress dowager feel much more at ease, and Shen Qi also became more popular. The most important thing was that after having a child, the relationship between the empress dowager and Shen Qi also improved a lot, at least they were like a normal mother and son.

"Oh, here he comes!" The Queen Mother smiled and looked at Su Zhiruan, "Thanks to Ruan Ruan, I have seen the Emperor more times in this month than in the previous year."

"I am blessed by my mother. If I lived in the harem, I might not be able to see both my mother and the emperor every day." After Su Zhiruan said this, she leaned lightly on the empress dowager's shoulder and then stood up.

The Queen Mother was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop. At this time, Shen Qi came in.

The man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and looked anxious. After seeing Su Zhiruan, he breathed a sigh of relief and saluted with a faint smile, "Son greets the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty, your servant pays respects to the Emperor..." Su Zhiruan was about to salute when she was stopped by the anxious Shen Qi.

"No need to bow. You're pregnant, so you have to be careful." Shen Qi said, and gently reached out to touch Su Zhiruan's belly, where there was miraculously a little life.

Either a chubby son, or a soft and sweet little princess.

This feeling was very novel. Even though a month was almost over, he still had this thought. He felt very warm when he thought that he and Su Zhiruan had a child.

It's as thoughtful as slowly drinking a cup of hot tea.

The feeling of being a father for the first time was so wonderful.

"The emperor at this moment doesn't look like an emperor, but more like a man who has just become a father." The empress dowager covered her mouth and laughed, happily watching the young couple get together.

This scene happened every day during this period. As she got older, she felt warm when she saw such scenes, as if she was thinking of herself back then.

The Queen Mother felt happy during this period. When she thought of her previous life, she felt regretful. What a miserable life it was! Before, when she woke up, she would either worry about how to urge the emperor to enter the harem. The emperor did not like the harem and only went in a few times. Or the imperial concubine would cry and say that this concubine insulted her today, and that concubine competed for her favor tomorrow, or she would cry and complain that the emperor never looked for her.

Whenever she thought about the hard life she had lived before, she felt regretful.

Fortunately, now that Su Zhiruan is here and the emperor has a child, the days ahead will definitely be better. Thinking of this, the empress dowager stood up happily and said, "You guys can chat first. I'm going to go out for a walk. Don't worry!"

"Mother..." Su Zhiruan didn't call out to anyone. The Queen Mother walked briskly and soon left the hall.

At this time, only Su Zhiruan and Shen Qi were left in the hall.

Shen Qi held her hand tightly, warm and delicate, his eyes were full of deep emotion, Su Zhiruan could feel his burning gaze on her, "Ruan Ruan, how are you doing here with your mother? If you are not happy, you can return to the imperial study, I will take care of you and the child!"

"Your Majesty asks me this every day," Su Zhiruan tilted her head, took Shen Qi's big hand and put it on her belly, and then said, "My mother is very good to me, and the old nanny here also has experience in childbirth. Let me stay here first, and wait..."

She came close to Shen Qi, smiled and whispered, "After the baby is born, I will stay in your majesty's bedroom every day, okay?"

In an instant, Shen Qi's eyes became burning. He moved his eyebrows, and his handsome eyes were filled with a faint smile, and a little dark. He lowered his voice, "I will wait and see what Empress Yue will do to me..."

Before Shen Qi's eyes looked more and more strange, Su Zhiruan escaped from his arms in time.

Shen Qi then remembered today's business, "By the way, Ruan Ruan, I sent someone to bring your parents to the capital, would you like to meet them?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Zhiruan didn't expect that she had just told Shen Qi about her life experience, but Shen Qi still remembered it and even brought her parents with him.

What the original owner was most worried about were the two elders of the Su family.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!" She bowed, both to the two elders of the Su family and on behalf of the original owner. She was very serious.

In the original plot, the two elders of the Su family were tortured to death by the playboy because Su Zhiruan did not stay with Shen Qi. Before they died, they were still worried about their daughter.

Unfortunately, in the previous life, the two elders of the Su family never saw their beloved daughter again until they died.

Under Shen Qi's arrangement, Su Zhiruan met the two elders of the Su family in Kunning Palace.

After the servants opened the palace gate, the two elders of the Su family were only separated from her by a threshold.

In just a moment, the serious-looking father Su and her mother both had tears in their eyes.

"My Ruan Ruan...my Zhi Ruan!" Su's mother came forward and hugged her daughter tightly. Su's father also took two quick steps and looked at Su Zhi Ruan with trembling hands.

This was their first meeting after five years.

At this time, Su Zhiruan was already the Empress Yuefei. Su's mother kept saying, and her rough hands carefully stroked her daughter, "My daughter! I finally see you again!"
