She had never thought about it this way before, but now that she thinks about it carefully, is her daughter really different from ordinary people?
"Mother." Tu Qingyu looked at her and spoke seriously, "Qinglu has a pure mind and a pure heart. Naturally, I like to be with her."
"Most importantly..."
"What?"
"When I stay with Qinglu, I feel comfortable."
"really?"
Prince Tu's eyes widened. "How could this be?"
"I don't know why it's like this. On the contrary, when I'm with my sister, I feel uncomfortable all over. I feel comfortable with my brother, but not as much as Qinglu. I'm also fine with my parents."
"Mom, do you still remember the scholar who wanted to harm my brother?"
"Remember."
At that time, Dean Tu Yuzhi held a banquet, a party for people to discuss articles and poems, and Tu Qingyu also went to join in the fun.
Tu Yuzhi studied in the academy without revealing his identity as the son of a county magistrate.
At that time, there was a scholar who had just arrived. He was jealous of the fact that he always got the first place in every subject, so he wanted to cause trouble at the banquet.
He usually looked honest and had helped Tu Yuzhi with a few small favors, so Tu Yuzhi was not on guard against him and almost fell into his trap.
Fortunately, Tu Qingyu arrived in time and rescued the man.
"When I first saw him, I felt unwell all over. I knew he was no good. Later, I kept an eye on his movements and sure enough, I saw he was trying to harm my brother."
“That’s how it is!”
Tu Wang was really shocked by Tu Qingyu's ability.
After the shock subsided, she took Tu Qingyu's hand and said solemnly, "Qingyu, from now on, you must not let anyone else know about this matter."
She understood too well the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure.
The deep palace is dangerous. This ability is very useful in the harem, but if others know...
"I know."
Seeing her nod in agreement, Tu Wangshi finally felt relieved.
She leaned over and asked, "Then what do you think of His Majesty..."
Tu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then blushed and lowered her head, "Of course...Okay."
"That's good, that's good."
"The Emperor has arrived—!"
Just as the two of them finished talking, a notification sounded from outside.
Tu Wangshi stood up to salute, but before she could bend her knees, Si Chao strode over and held her arm.
"Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Just treat this place as your own home and me as an ordinary son-in-law."
That's impossible, Tu Wangshi knew it clearly.
The emperor just said it casually. If she took it seriously, wouldn't that mean she didn't want to live anymore?
She thought so in her heart, but replied with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty is right. I naturally treat Your Majesty as my own family, but etiquette cannot be abandoned. Your Majesty has such a great favor, and the Tu family is grateful. However, to avoid criticism of Your Majesty, please accept your humble respect."
After saying this, she knelt down respectfully and saluted.
Since she said so, Si Chao naturally had no reason to stop her.
After helping the man up again, he asked some questions in a friendly manner and then allowed him to sit down.
After they sat down, Si Chao started talking to Tu Qingyu's stomach as usual.
"My dearest dear, do you miss me?"
As soon as he put his hand on it, Tu Qingyu's stomach moved.
During this period, I don’t know if the baby has become accustomed to Si Chao’s voice, but now whenever he hears his voice, he will respond.
Tu Qingyu patted his head and said, "You've only been gone for a short time, why are you thinking about it?"
Tu Wangshi was watching her actions from the side and was terrified. Is it okay to take a picture of the emperor's head?
But the emperor, who has always been aloof, seemed to be used to it.
Not only was he not angry, he even smiled foolishly at his daughter.
"Look at how strong their little feet are, they must be thinking about it." After saying that, he wanted to move closer and say a few dirty words, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he remembered that there was a mother-in-law in the hall.
He sat up and regained his serious look, chatting casually with Tu Wangshi who was sitting below him.
At this time, both of them felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the head nanny came soon to announce that the meal was ready.
Tu Qingyu and Si Chao are not usually extravagant. Usually 70% of the food is what Tu Qingyu likes to eat, and 30% is what Si Chao likes to eat.
But today there was one more person, so the amount of food doubled.
"How can we finish all this?" She looked at Si Chao, "Did you ask the food department to add more dishes?"
"My mother-in-law is here, so of course we have to treat her well." Si Chao said as he picked up some food for her, "It's okay if you can't finish it, just give it as a reward."
After saying this, he looked up at Tu Wangshi and said, "Madam, don't be so reserved. If you become even thinner after coming to the palace, it means that your son-in-law has not treated you well enough."
"Your Majesty is too polite. I will definitely not be shy."
She was just a little frightened when she saw Si Chao serving Tu Qingyu.
This fear only lasted for two days. After two days, she became accustomed to it, just like the other palace maids and eunuchs in Fengyi Palace.
As the days passed, Tu Yuzhi also passed the palace examination, but did not make it into the first class and was ranked third in the second list.
In addition to the top three, Si Chao gave official positions to the top ten on the second list on the spot.
Tu Yuzhi entered the Hanlin Academy and became an eighth-rank doctor of the Five Classics.
"Mom, this is also a very good result. Brother is really amazing."
"Mother knows that your brother has been studying hard day and night these past few years, and he has finally made it."
"You should leave the palace in the next two days. I have many people to take care of here. Go back and have some fun with your sisters-in-law."
"Well, it's time to go back and take a look."
After leaving the palace this time, Tu Wangshi entered the palace again more than a month later, and Tu Qingyu was due to give birth in about ten days.
This time Tu Qinglu and Yang Yanshuang also came.
"Greetings to the Queen, may the Queen be well and safe."
"Stop being polite, sister-in-law, get up quickly."
Yang Yanshuang and Tu Qingyu knew each other before. After she stood up, Tu Qingyu took her hand and asked, "Why did it take you so long to come see me, sister-in-law?"
"I wanted to come and see you earlier, too. Your belly is already so big, and I'm here for the first time. I really shouldn't have come." Yang Yanshuang's eyes were full of smiles. "It's a pity that my body is useless. Since I came to the capital, I've been sick all the time. How could I dare to come to see you when you were pregnant?"
"Are you feeling better now?" Tu Qingyu took her hand and secretly took her pulse.
I found out that she was three months pregnant.
"I'm much better now. Except for feeling tired and sleepy sometimes, everything else is fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"You are all here, then sister..."
Tu Wangshi: "Don't worry, I'll ask Madam to look after her."
During this period, Tu Qingxue kept crying and admitting her mistakes, trying to get Tu Wangshi to let her go.
Tu Wangshi ignored all of it and was determined to keep the man locked up until the return journey.
The family chatted for an entire afternoon, and finally Tu Qinglu and Yang Yanshuang left the palace with their rewards, leaving only Tu Wangshi behind.
When leaving, Tu Qingyu also sent a royal physician to accompany him.
That very night, her stomach started to move.
