A brief eye contact cannot express the longing for countless days and nights.
Both of them knew that their separation after entering the palace would be forever, and from then on, the relationship between mother and daughter would be severed.
Even if we meet, we will not be able to recognize each other, and we will never have the chance to call each other "mother" or "daughter" again in this life.
Fortunately, during the two years of separation, they worked hard to live and survived, and they lived well.
The mother lowered her head, unable to shed the hot tears, so she could only swallow them.
His head was lowered, covering the slightly twitching corners of his sunken mouth.
Su Wanti pinched her palms tightly, letting the sudden pain suppress the surging emotions in her heart.
She blinked, suppressed the mist in her eyes, and opened her red lips slightly, "You're too thin. Don't you garment factory workers give you food? Go back!"
She just wanted to see her mother once and make sure she was fine. She couldn't choose her mother and couldn't let anyone with ulterior motives notice her mother.
When she turned to leave her mother, she used the protective shield she bought in the system mall on her mother. This protective shield can block one physical attack and has built-in positioning and sensing.
In the future, if my mother encounters something bad, the protective shield will transfer its coordinates to the system the moment it opens.
In this way, she would be the first to know when something happened to her mother and take immediate action.
Su Wanti picked and chose, changed three groups of people, and selected twenty embroiderers. She asked Ai Ye to stay in the Clothing Bureau to assign tasks to these twenty embroiderers, and then she returned to Ganxiao Palace.
After seeing the original owner's mother, Su Wanti felt relieved, became cheerful, and slept soundly.
Now she felt very relaxed, resting peacefully in the palace to take care of her pregnancy, waiting to give birth to her children safely in three months, and experience the happiness and joy of being a new mother.
Pregnancy is hard enough, and carrying twins is doubly hard. In the second trimester, the fetus is growing rapidly and madly absorbing nutrients and blood from the mother. Su Wanti always feels that she lacks blood and energy, and feels lazy.
Out of the twelve hours in a day, she would sleep for at least six hours. When she wasn't sleeping, she was very lazy. She would get tired after walking a few steps in the yard and would not walk any further.
Leng Hong happened to listen to the imperial physician's words, which said that pregnant women should walk more and exercise more every day so that the delivery would be smooth. So he gave Qingzhi an order that she must help Su Wanti walk for a quarter of an hour every day.
Su Wanti refused, and Qingzhi couldn't control her, so she had to report the truth to Leng Hong.
Leng Hong knew the temperament of his little favorite concubine.
She was as obedient as a tamed little fox only in front of him. In front of others, she was arrogant, domineering and disobedient.
He had no choice but to come back early every day, have dinner with Su Wanti, and then go for a walk in the garden with her, walking for a quarter of an hour before coming back.
"Your Majesty, please take me to the back garden today. I want to see the little deer and the little white rabbit."
Before Su Wanti moved into Ganxiao Palace, the back garden only housed birds of prey and wild beasts.
After Su Wanti moved into Ganxiao Palace, she would sometimes accompany Leng Hong to visit the back garden.
Once, she saw a palace servant bringing a deer to feed a tiger.
The little deer was very beautiful, with a pair of big, bright black eyes that looked confused and clueless. She softened her heart for a moment and refused to let the palace servant send the deer into the tiger park no matter what.
Leng Hong agreed to her request and opened a small garden in the backyard to raise the fawn.
Later, on another occasion, Su Wanti saw the little white rabbit about to be thrown into the snake pen, and she refused to do it again and insisted on raising a rabbit.
Leng Hong asked the palace servants to throw the little white rabbits into the deer park.
From then on, whenever Leng Hong took Su Wanti to the back garden, he would deliberately avoid the time when the wild animals were fed. He was afraid that if this continued, his wild animal garden would sooner or later become a herbivorous zoo.
Leng Hong raised his eyebrows.
"My beloved concubine is in a good mood today. Okay, let's go to the back garden. I haven't been there for a few days, so it's a good time to go and take a look."
Just as Su Wanti got up to change her clothes, Leng Hong called Kang Yu over and whispered in her ear:
"Have you fed all the birds of prey and wild beasts in the back garden?"
Kang Yu nodded.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. It's hot now, so they're too lazy to move and consume less energy. They only need to be fed once a day. They've already been fed this morning. Your Majesty, when you go to the back garden, you won't see any live chickens, geese, or rabbits."
"That's good."
At this time, Su Wanti also changed her clothes and came out. She was pregnant with twins, and her belly was bigger than usual for a six-month pregnant woman.
The summer clothes were extremely light and thin, clinging softly to her body, outlining her slightly plump figure and round belly.
Leng Hong's gaze involuntarily fell on her beautifully curved belly. Thinking that this bulge of fullness was nurturing his bloodline, the heir to the Daqi dynasty and the successor to the imperial power, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
His eyes became more gentle, and when Su Wanti came closer, he took her hand with one hand and placed the other hand on her pregnant belly, gently stroking it.
"I'll be able to see these two little guys in three months, right?" His voice was soft and full of tenderness.
Su Wanti smiled gently,
"Yes! Your Majesty, the two children have been very naughty these past few days. They fight in my belly every day. I wonder how naughty they will be after they come out."
"Being naughty is good. Naughty children are smart and active. When they grow up, I will teach them swordsmanship."
"Your Majesty, how do you know that both are princes? What if both children are princesses, or one of them is a princess?"
Leng Hong stroked her belly and said:
"The princess also needs to learn swordsmanship. I will teach them anyway. Whether they are the emperor's son or the princess, I will teach them martial arts."
