Leng Hong knew that Su Wanti was going to pay a visit to her mother today.
He knew that his mother had never liked beautiful concubines, and he couldn't help but worry that his mother would make things difficult for her.
So, after the morning court session, he immediately returned to Ganxiao Palace, changed out of his court clothes, and prepared to visit Cining Palace.
On the way to the Cining Palace, Leng Hong saw Nanny Qiao personally escorting Su Wanti back.
Behind the two men were several palace maids, all holding rewards in their hands, which looked like rewards from the queen mother.
So, does the Queen Mother approve of her?
Leng Hong strode over.
Everyone saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor be well and safe."
He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Without looking at anyone else, he gently held Su Wanti in his arms and held her hand.
"Fortunately, my hands are not cold. What did the Queen Mother say to you? Did she give you any trouble?"
Seeing his worried look, Su Wanti laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Queen Mother is very kind to me. These rewards are given to me by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also told me to just focus on taking care of the baby and not worry about anything else."
Leng Hong's brows relaxed, and he nodded, "My mother has been longing for a grandson for a long time. My beloved concubine is pregnant, so she must be happier than I am."
Yesterday, after the sudden surprise, Leng Hong felt a little uneasy as his emotions settled.
He grew up in the palace and has been accompanying his mother through the conspiracies and intrigues of the harem since he was born.
He knew what a pregnant concubine might encounter in the harem...
Leng Hong felt that his favorite concubine was not a scheming person, so he became worried.
I was worried that she couldn't escape the tricks of the harem and couldn't protect her own safety.
Leng Hong was really troubled by this matter for a while, but later he thought that maybe he could take Su Wanti with him, take her to court, and take her to the Qinzheng Palace.
As long as he was with her for twelve hours a day, with his intimidation, no one in the former court or the harem would dare to lay a hand on her.
Now, he learned that his mother was already aware of Su Wanti's pregnancy, and she had told her to rest assured and take care of the baby without worrying about the affairs of the harem.
His heart was completely at peace.
He understood his mother.
With the care of her mother, Su Wanti will be fine and will give birth to the prince safely.
Leng Hong smiled comfortably. He gently stroked Su Wanti's back, and his eyes involuntarily fell on her flat belly.
Su Wanti followed his gaze, her face turned red, and she pushed him gently.
Her voice was soft and shy. "Your Majesty, it's not even two months old yet, it's still hard to tell..."
Seeing that Leng Hong was extremely fond of Concubine Wan, Nanny Qiao smiled happily.
The more favored Concubine Wan was, the more stable her retirement life would be.
In fact, she watched the emperor grow up and he respected her very much.
Even after the Empress Dowager's death, the Emperor will not treat her unfairly.
However, she understood that the emperor's time and energy were all focused on the former court. How could he have time to care about the life of an old nanny in the harem?
So when the people in Concubine Wan's palace gave her a hint, she went with the flow and helped Concubine Wan.
Fortunately, Concubine Wan was also a sensible woman. Not only did she catch the Empress Dowager's eye, but she was also the first one in the harem to be pregnant with an heir and was about to give birth to the emperor's eldest son.
Nanny Qiao felt that she had made the right choice. She only hoped that Concubine Wan would be favored for as long as possible.
"The Empress Dowager was worried about Concubine Wan, so she specially sent me to escort her back to the palace. She instructed me to escort Concubine Wan to the inner hall of Ganxiao Palace."
"However, now that His Majesty has arrived, I think that for Concubine Wan, the safest and most reliable person in the world is His Majesty. So I'm going to be lazy and hand over the Empress Dowager's instructions to His Majesty. Is that okay with you, Your Majesty?"
Aunt Qiao said to Leng Hong with a smile.
Leng Hong was raised by Aunt Qiao and was very close to her. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Qiao. By the way, go back and tell my mother that I will be accompanying Concubine Wan for the next few days and will go to see her in a few days."
Leng Hong embraced Su Wanti and returned to Ganxiao Palace.
Now that Su Wanti is pregnant and Weiyang Palace is still under renovation, Leng Hong lets her live in Ganxiao Palace and they will discuss living in a separate palace after she gives birth.
The two sat on the warm couch, Su Wanti leaning in Leng Hong's arms, their posture very intimate.
Leng Hong sniffed her black hair lightly, the woman's sweet fragrance lingering around his nose. His big hands held her two soft little hands in his palms, and his voice was gentle.
"I was worried about you, afraid that the Queen Mother would make things difficult for you. I didn't expect you to be so capable and win the Queen Mother's favor, so I sent Nanny Qiao to escort you personally."
Su Wanti smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is very perceptive. She said that after seeing the snacks I made, she knew that I was a patient and careful person. The Empress Dowager said that she knew I was a good person, and she was relieved."
"What's more, I'm pregnant with the heir to the throne. The Empress Dowager is so happy. Aunt Qiao said she's never seen her so happy before."
Hearing this, Leng Hong tilted his head slightly and looked at her playfully.
"Really? Then I want to ask my mother if she is happier than when I was around."
Su Wanti smiled with her eyes curved, turned her head to look at him, and gently bumped his chin with her forehead.
"I've never seen anyone jealous of their own child."
Leng Hong didn't hide either. When her forehead left, he tilted his head and suddenly kissed her lips, mumbling, "Now you've seen it."
The two figures are entangled, full of tenderness, love and warmth.
————
The news that Concubine Wan was summoned by the Empress Dowager and won her favor spread like a gust of wind throughout the harem.
In the harem, both the concubines and the palace maids were extremely surprised.
The concubines originally thought that no matter how much favor Concubine Wan had received from the emperor, the Empress Dowager, the supreme master in the palace, did not like her and never summoned her. She would not even let her enter the Cining Palace to pay her respects.
This can make their unbalanced hearts a little more balanced.
Now, the Queen Mother treated Concubine Wan very well and seemed to like her very much.
Now, the concubines' hearts were completely unbalanced, and they fell into a strong jealousy, with only inconsolable hatred left.
But the palace people thought that Concubine Wan was really amazing. First, she attracted the emperor's attention with a gentle cry and became his concubine. Then she made the emperor indulge in her tenderness for three days and three nights, and won his heart and made him his concubine.
Now, he has quietly gained the favor of the Empress Dowager...
This Concubine Wan was once just a little maid in the flower room, and her starting point was the same as theirs...
The palace maids couldn't help but admire him.
Some ambitious and aspirational people tried every possible means to use their connections to see if they could be transferred to work for Concubine Wan.
For a time, Su Wanti was the most powerful person in the harem, and her status was second only to that of the queen.
