She has been here since Jiang Jingchuan painted Tu Qingyu's portrait.
She watched His Highness paint for her, watched Tu Qingyu get impatient, and watched His Highness coax her gently.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qianyuan is a master painter, comparable to a national master.
It is a pity that His Highness has only painted for Your Majesty. Someone once said that if one could win His Highness's favor and be included in His Highness's paintings, then one's life would be worthwhile.
Unfortunately, His Highness is of noble status, and no one except the Emperor dares to let him paint, unless he is willing.
She remembered that when she first entered the Eastern Palace, she had cautiously asked if she could paint with His Highness, or if she could get some guidance from His Highness.
His Highness declined all of them due to being busy with government affairs.
She was only a girl in her teens at the time and still had innocent fantasies about her husband.
She was thinking that when His Highness was not busy, she would go and ask him, and create a beautiful story of him adding fragrance to his heart.
After asking a few more times, she found out that there was no romantic relationship between her and His Highness. He married her only because of the emperor's decree, that was all.
It's good enough to treat each other with respect.
Now she realized that when she was not in love, even if there were no government affairs, she would still be busy with government affairs.
When you love someone, you can put your official duties aside for him/her even if you are really busy with them.
The contrast is too obvious.
When she didn't have any feelings, she could still comfort herself that everyone was the same, His Highness was the future monarch, and he wouldn't be moved by anyone.
But what is this now?
Who is she?
The nanny supported her and whispered, "My Lady, let's go back."
She really didn't understand why the Queen was standing here looking at His Highness and Tu Liangyuan in a self-torturing manner.
If you're sad, just don't watch it.
The Crown Princess blinked, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. She turned her head and whispered, "Let's go."
Tu Qingyu glanced at the direction where the Crown Princess left. She didn't care much about what she was thinking.
What she was concerned about was whether the Crown Princess would want to release the news of her pregnancy in advance after this incident.
"What's wrong?"
The prince is now very sensitive to Tu Qingyu's emotions, and he can notice if she is distracted for a moment.
"Nothing, I just feel a little hungry." She looked at her stomach, "Maybe the baby wants to eat."
Jiang Jingchuan looked at her belly and smiled, "Okay, then let's go back. We can't let the baby go hungry."
In the past few days, everyone in the Eastern Palace has had a new understanding of the prince's favor for Tu Qingyu.
You're really afraid of it falling if you hold it in your hand, and afraid of it melting if you hold it in your mouth.
Her every wish was granted, and rewards were sent to the Qionghua Palace like a stream every day. It was as if he wanted to pick all the stars in the sky and give them to her.
The next time she saw the people in the harem was on the first day of May, and the Crown Princess resumed her greetings on the first and fifteenth days of the month.
"Greetings to Tu Liangyuan, Liangyuan Jinan."
Everyone who had been sitting in Yichun Palace stood up and saluted.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked submissive, and no one dared to show disrespect to her.
Tu Qingyu said calmly: "Everyone get up."
Then everyone sat back in their seats, like quails, not daring to say a word.
Not until the Crown Princess came out did everyone stand up and salute again.
"No need to be polite." The Crown Princess looked at Tu Qingyu, "How are you these days, Tu Liangyuan? You are the only one pregnant in the East Palace now, so please take care of yourself."
Tu Qingyu suddenly felt a little admiration for the Crown Princess.
She obviously loves the prince so much, but after seeing her intimate interaction with the prince, she can still remain calm.
At the beginning, her jealousy could be clearly detected, as evidenced by the fact that she had stood by and watched, or even given a slight push from behind, in the previous incidents.
But now, after the baptism in the garden yesterday, she seemed to have completely calmed down.
She became the dignified, generous, virtuous and polite Crown Princess again.
As expected of a clan lady raised in a large family, she is indeed different.
She stood up and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Qingyu has been doing well these days, and you should take care of yourself too."
"Hurry up and sit down." The Crown Princess quickly raised her hand to signal, "Don't be so polite."
She could even joke, "If His Highness knew that you had trouble with me, He would definitely hold me accountable."
Tu Qingyu: "Your Majesty is joking."
Someone below, who wanted to curry favor with Tu Qingyu, quickly said, "Your Highness, you are not joking. Everyone in the Eastern Palace knows that His Highness's favorite is Tu Liangyuan."
"Yes, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one person in the East Palace."
Lu Chenghui: "Please stop flattering her. What's the point of calling her the number one in the Eastern Palace? Even if she is favored by His Highness, can she still surpass the Crown Princess?"
These words seemed to be spoken in the name of Tu Qingyu, but in fact they showed that these flatteries were detrimental to Tu Qingyu.
I don't want her to be overpraised.
Tu Qingyu smiled at her and said, "Sister, you are right."
Seeing that his flattery had hit the horse's legs, the man stopped talking.
Seeing that Tu Qingyu was not easy to approach, the rest of the people were even more afraid to speak.
Everyone was regretting in their hearts why they had not been like Lu Chenghui and clung to Tu Qingyu earlier.
Now that everyone has been offended, there is no point in saying any more.
This greeting did not cause any trouble. Those troublemakers who had dared to talk to me were all put under house arrest or dismissed.
After greeting, Lu Huaixi followed Tu Qingyu out of the Yichun Palace, "Qingyu, I'll go back with you to see Xiaojuzi."
"Well, now that his wound has healed, he's become very clingy. He starts meowing non-stop if I'm not around for a while."
"You saved it, so of course it loves you the most. I often play with it, and it never barks at me."
After the first day of the New Year comes the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day.
Now, the only ones in the Eastern Palace who have high positions and can go out are the Crown Princess and Tu Qingyu.
The prince decided to take her out for some fresh air today, and he personally prepared what she would wear for the day early in the morning.
Then he hurried to meet the emperor. As the crown prince, he still had a lot of things to do.
After offering sacrifices and burning incense, when they had time, the Crown Princess had already brought Tu Qingyu to the palace where the Dragon Boat Festival banquet was held.
That's where the moat passes, with palaces and buildings stretching out on both sides.
These palaces were built specifically for banquets and viewing. They were built like pavilions, but were wider than pavilions.
The view is excellent. You can sit inside and drink wine or tea while seeing the river view at a glance.
The most important thing about the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon boat race, but unfortunately it is held in the afternoon.
In the morning, the emperor took the princes and ministers to shoot willows. The emperor gave them fans, palace clothes, colorful threads, etc.
When the Crown Princess and she arrived at the scene, all the ladies and family members who were originally talking to each other fell silent.
They stared at Tu Qingyu who was half a step behind the Crown Princess.
Everyone's mind was blank, only one was left, so beautiful!
After a while, the nanny beside the Crown Princess coughed lightly, and then they reacted.
This may be Tu Liangyuan, who is pregnant with the prince's only child.
