Mother Zhuang and Yin Yin stayed in the palace until after dinner before leaving. As soon as they left, the emperor arrived at Changchun Palace.
Upon seeing the person, Lin Chunhuan immediately bowed deeply, frightening the emperor so much that he quickly stepped forward to support him. "Ah Huan, what are you doing! The baby in your belly is still unstable, so you have to be extra careful!"
"I came a little late today. Did Ah Huan blame me?"
Lin Chunhuan shook her head gently, her eyes full of admiration, "Your Majesty deliberately came late so that I could spend more time with my mother and the others. I understand this in my heart."
"Your Majesty's thoughtfulness is a blessing for me. I should cherish it and never blame you!"
Ninety percent of the people in this world don't really like to do good deeds without leaving a name or talking about it, they just hope that others will discover it themselves.
Even the emperor is no exception.
Seeing that even such a small thought of his could be noticed, the emperor's smile became more genuine, "Ah Huan's family is my family."
"But I'm also worried that if I stay here, they might not even have enough to eat. It's better to let you have a good talk."
The emperor raised his head. He liked the love and admiration in Lin Chunhuan's eyes.
Such a look is not found in the noble ladies from famous families. Those ladies are always reserved and arrogant, which makes people feel annoyed just by looking at them.
Before he could say a few words, the emperor's eyes were about to shine. Lin Chunhuan knew what he was thinking and blushed immediately, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you should exercise restraint during this period of time."
"I know." The emperor swallowed silently, never taking his eyes off Lin Chunhuan from beginning to end, "It's just that I really don't want to go anywhere else except here with you."
"You little devil, you really stole my soul!"
Lin Chunhuan lowered her head and smiled lightly, then simply raised her arms and gently embraced the emperor, "As long as you like, I am willing to be your little devil for the rest of my life."
Unlike the sweet and delicious Changchun Palace, all the porcelain in Kunning Palace was smashed.
Of course, it wasn't the queen who took action.
Seeing the still mad Concubine Shu, the Queen rubbed her brows and said, "Alright, if you want to smash something, go smash your own things, and don't mess with my things."
"If you can't calm down and talk, get out of here."
The Queen's tone was actually very calm, and no emotion could be heard, but it instantly calmed Concubine Shu. She stopped smashing things and started crying again, "Your Majesty, are you just going to watch Concubine Zhengui be so proud?"
"We are clearly in her food..." Concubine Shu swallowed the rest of the words, but the anxiety on her face did not diminish at all. "Why can't the imperial physician find out that she is falsely pregnant today!"
The queen was also puzzled by this matter.
Today, when she lit the lamp, her hands were still trembling slightly, and they were extremely sore. This discomfort also made the queen very irritable. "What's the rush? Nanyue has already gone to the Imperial Hospital."
"Just wait quietly for Nanyue to come back, don't make me a headache by making noise!"
As the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Shu stammered and slowly sat down. Although she still looked a little unconvinced, she really didn't dare to say another word.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long. Nan Yue walked up to the Queen breathlessly and said, "Your Majesty, I have made inquiries."
Nan Yue's words made the queen sit up straight.
Although Nan Yue hadn't said anything yet, the Queen had already sensed something was wrong from the look on her face.
Nan Yue pursed her lips and said, "I went to look for Doctor Zhao, and also looked for the other doctors who went to Changchun Palace today."
"Imperial Physician Zhao said that when he went to check Concubine Zhengui's pulse, she was indeed not pregnant. He did indeed follow our instructions, but when I asked other imperial physicians."
"They said that Concubine Zhengui is indeed pregnant, and she is carrying twins, but... the month is not right, it's only been a little over a month."
Concubine Shu clutched the armrests of her chair. "Could it be that that bitch is so lucky that she got pregnant at this exact moment?"
"You're joking, Madam Shufei." Nan Yue also frowned strangely. "Ever since Concubine Zhengui entered the palace, she has been using contraceptives every day. There's no way she can get pregnant."
After hearing this, Concubine Shu lost her temper.
She believed it. If the person sitting above her did not agree, no one would be able to conceive a dragon heir under her nose. The queen had such ability, and Concubine Shu had no doubt about it.
Otherwise... her child...
Her heart ached for a moment, and Concubine Shu quickly forced a smile, trying to ignore the strange feeling in her heart. "But now, Concubine Zhengui is indeed pregnant. I'm afraid she must have noticed something."
"Otherwise, it's impossible that she really has such extraordinary abilities that she can bribe the entire Imperial Hospital."
The Queen took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter. Whether it's true or not, a child has to be born to count."
Everyone thought that Lin Chunhuan would be extremely careful and take good care of this baby after she got pregnant. After all, she had been like this since she entered the palace and had always lived her life behind closed doors.
In particular, the emperor exempted her from paying her respects every day.
But unfortunately, Lin Chunhuan behaved contrary to his usual behavior and started going out more and more often.
Today she is staying with Concubine Zhou, and tomorrow she will have dinner with Concubine Gui. She has even been to Kunning Palace and Yongshou Palace twice, as if she is not worried at all that something might happen to the baby in her belly.
At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, Lin Chunhuan's belly was already slightly bulging. Even if the queen couldn't believe it, she had to admit that she had made a mistake.
Not only did everything that was originally planned not work at all, it also made the emperor feel that Lin Chunhuan had suffered and he felt even more pity for her.
But even so, Lin Chunhuan still performed the dance while pregnant, which should have been reprimanded, but seeing that the emperor couldn't take his eyes off her at all, the queen could only take a deep breath and endure it.
"My lady, don't wait any longer, go to bed early."
Nan Yue looked at the Queen with some distress and brought her some wine to warm her body. "It's cold today. What will happen if you get sick?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Queen frowned slightly. "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Emperor will definitely come. If you are sleepy, go and rest first."
"Empress!"
Nan Yue's eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lip and looked at the Queen, feeling distressed and angry. "The Emperor has already gone to Changchun Palace. Even the lights are out over there."
"Don't wait!"
Clang...
With a crisp sound, the wine glass fell to the ground. The queen remained silent, but her eyes became increasingly red. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "Impossible. This is the rule of our ancestors. The emperor attaches great importance to rules. Today is the first day of the new year. The emperor will definitely come. Impossible."
