"Oh, I can't catch it, Ranran, here, my aunt is here~"
"Hehe...Auntie, don't run, Ranran catch me~"
As soon as Tu Qingyu arrived at the Imperial Garden, he heard Deng Chongrong teasing the child and the child's clear and childish laughter.
The weather today is really good, with sunshine. It's a great time to go out and bask in the sun wearing a padded jacket.
When she approached, the little Third Princess pounced forward to catch Deng Chongrong.
"oops--!"
Fortunately, the entire open space was covered with blankets, so the little girl was not hurt.
Defei and Deng Chongrong were startled for a moment but did not move. The little girl stood up by herself and started giggling again.
She finally said, "It's really comfortable."
The people in the garden knelt and saluted, "Greetings to Her Majesty Zhaoyi, may Her Majesty be well and at peace."
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Madam."
Deng Chongrong walked over with the child in her hand, "The weather is really nice today, and Sister Qingyu is willing to go out for a walk."
"Yeah, the weather is nice, let's go out and bask in the sun."
"Come over and sit down." Concubine De waved to them. "It doesn't look to me like she doesn't want to go out. It's just that there are so many people around when she goes out. It must be very annoying, right?"
"How did Sister Xue know?" Tu Qingyu sat down next to her, and the palace servant quickly brought hot tea. "I'm really scared of all these people."
Deng Chongrong also came over, holding the child. After reaching out to take a piece of cake for the Third Princess, she teased, "Stop talking. It's all because of His Majesty's attention to you, Sister Qingyu. If it were anyone else, how could they have such a blessing?"
"What? You..."
"Oh, please don't." Realizing what Tu Qingyu was about to say, Deng Chongrong waved his hands repeatedly, "I said this with no other intention. I just hope that you and His Majesty are doing well. We are living a good life now."
In fact, she likes Tu Qingyu very much.
Tu Qingyu gave a child to her sister. Being friendly is one thing.
Since Tu Qingyu entered the palace, it has become quiet in just a few months.
Those days of endless quarrels and fights seemed like a lifetime ago.
Before those people were dealt with, even she and her sister had to be careful everywhere, for fear that they would accidentally fall into their trap and fall into the abyss.
"She is just a child and speaks quickly. Don't take it to heart." Defei made up for her.
Tu Qingyu: "How could that be? I don't even know what your personalities are like."
"That's good." Defei looked at her belly. "Counting the days, it should be more than six months, right?"
"Yes, the baby is due in two or three months."
"Time flies by so fast. I heard your brother took part in the Spring Imperial Examination. I wish him success in advance."
"Then I'll accept it. When my brother is on the list in the future, I will definitely thank you generously."
"A generous gift is fine, but the real deal is treating Caiwei and me to a drink."
"Sister, you're such a fool! Can we leave out our wine? Sister Qingyu is having a baby next day. Don't we have to drink on the baby's third birthday, full month, and first birthday?"
"Too."
As they were talking, the little princess sitting in Deng Chongrong's arms suddenly tilted her head.
I took a look and found that he was asleep.
"I think he's tired from playing." Concubine De waved her hand, "Hurry up and take him back to the palace to sleep, or he'll catch a cold outside."
The child was taken back, and after the three of them chatted for a while, Concubine Sheng appeared in the imperial garden again.
There were just four people together, and they started playing Pai Gow.
This push took several hours, from outdoors to indoors.
When the sun was about to set, several people went to Deng Chongrong's palace, which was closest to the south of the Imperial Garden.
When Tu Qingyu returned to the palace, it was already completely dark.
After Si Chao finished dealing with government affairs, he waited for a full hour and a half before the person came back.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Tu Qingyu, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, "You're back? Why don't you sleep in Deng Chongrong's palace?"
"I do want to, but Concubine De has fallen asleep there. If I go there, there will be too many people."
She walked over, took his hand and coaxed him, "What? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
This soft tone of voice completely confused Si Chao and made him lose his mind.
"It didn't take long."
"Really?" She tiptoed closer, her clear eyes filled with smiles. "Then why do I sense such a strong sense of resentment?"
He leaned over and kissed Tu Qingyu gently, "I just feel that your relationship with them has been getting better and better lately, and you like playing with them more and more, leaving me aside."
Hearing this, Tu Qingyu's eyes darkened and she let out a long sigh.
"This palace is so small, and you have to handle state affairs during the day. What should I do?"
"Ever since you went to court, have you been sitting at the palace gate, eagerly waiting for you to return?"
"Can't you bear to wait for me for just a moment? But I, but I..."
As she spoke, her eyes became red.
Si Chao immediately panicked, "Don't cry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned this."
"You knew where I was, why didn't you come find me?"
"You're playing with them. If I go over, firstly, it'll disturb your fun, and secondly..."
She was afraid that if he met other women, she would be unhappy.
He also knew that this was unfair to the concubines in the palace.
But there is no way, people's hearts are always biased, and he will ensure the prosperity and wealth of those concubines in the palace who do not make trouble.
No one will enter the palace from now on. There are only these few people in the palace.
A hundred years later, he would instruct his next heir to take good care of the concubines left in the palace.
"What's two?"
"Nothing." He quickly changed the subject. "After the Spring Examination results are announced, let your mother come to the palace to accompany you."
"Don't they say that the child has to be eight or nine months old? By the time his brother's results come out, the child will only be seven months old."
"That's okay. I can still make this exception."
When Tu Qingyu's child was just seven and a half months old, the results of the Spring Examination were announced.
Tu Yuzhi ranked seventh in the first list of the high school entrance examination and successfully entered the palace examination.
Before the palace examination began, Tu Wangshi was brought into the palace by Si Chaoxuan.
Tu Qingxue was still under house arrest and had to pick up Buddha beans, but on the first day Tu Wang entered the palace, she began to pretend to be unwell and refused to kneel anymore.
The guarding nanny had no choice but to ask Yang Yanshuang for instructions.
Yang Yanshuang had just married Tu Yuzhi not long ago, so how could she dare to interfere in Tu Qingxue's affairs.
Tu Qingxue tried step by step and finally walked out of the small Buddhist hall.
Just when she was about to sneak out of Tu Mansion with her men, Tu Qinglu and her men blocked her.
"Mother said you are not allowed to go anywhere!" The thirteen-year-old girl mustered up the courage for the first time and spoke loudly to her eldest sister.
She was really afraid that her eldest sister would go out and cause trouble, bringing disaster to her sister.
