late at night.
Inside the palace.
After processing a batch of important memorials, Xiao Yu frowned and looked up at He Zhong who was approaching quickly. He Zhong whispered,
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu requests an audience."
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "If there's nothing else, let her go back."
He has no intention of seeing these concubines in the harem now.
He Zhong hesitated, "But Concubine Shu is adamant about not leaving. She even threatened that if Your Majesty doesn't come to see her, she'll kneel at the palace gate and refuse to leave."
Xiao Yu put down his brush and stood up.
Just when He Zhong thought he was going to see Concubine Shu, he saw him turn around and head towards the bedroom.
"I said I won't see you, so don't let anyone bother me!"
He Zhong cried out "Aba Aba" twice and went to deal with Concubine Shu in embarrassment.
As soon as Xiao Yu stepped into the bedroom, he found that it had changed a lot.
Many originally empty spaces were now filled with the belongings of the mother and her two children.
In a moment, the baby voices of children almost resounded throughout the palace, and they seemed to be clamoring to go out and play.
Guaizi accused Zhizhi of locking them up for so long, "You're not allowed to play, your mother is bad!"
Anzi was also unhappy.
The two stood hand in hand and accused Zhizhi together.
Zhizhi suddenly felt a headache, and when she saw Xiao Yu coming in, she quickly called him,
"Come and take care of your child."
Xiao Yu paused. Although he had been living with Guaizi and Anzi these days, the two children were very cold to him.
So when Xiao Yu heard Zhizhi's words, he was a little distracted and responded,
"Just take them out tomorrow."
Zhizhi was suspicious, "Really? If you're willing, then you can take them."
She has had enough of taking care of children.
Xiao Yu choked for a moment, but when he caught a glimpse of the two cubs' slightly shining eyes, he thought for a moment and agreed.
The good boy ran over excitedly and rubbed Xiao Yu's palm, and Anzi followed behind him.
Xiao Yu was very pleased with the admiring eyes of the two children, so he promised,
"It just so happens that there will be a banquet at the palace in two days. I will take you there in my dragon chariot."
"What is that?" Anzi asked.
The good boy looked up at him and asked, "Dragon?"
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes to look at his two children and smiled softly,
“That is the highest position in the world.”
The two children didn't quite understand, but Zhizhi had some understanding.
Passing them, she suddenly bumped into Xiao Yu's smiling face.
——Her face is as beautiful as spring, her waist is as thin as a bean, and her hair is as white as a bean.
She paused, then looked away.
At night, four people slept together.
The main reason is that Xiao Yu’s dragon bed is really big, more than enough to fit all of them.
When she woke up the next day, Zhizhi found a white and tender foot stepping on her head.
She was speechless and pushed it onto Xiao Yu in disgust.
Then she got up and went to the bathroom to adjust her clothes. The loose dress perfectly covered her growing belly.
Xiao Yu seemed to have not noticed anything was wrong and was still eating the meal to nourish the fetus.
Zhizhi followed and ate and drank for a long time.
She looked at her belly, which was slightly bulger than before, and felt that it seemed to be even bigger than when she was pregnant with Guaizi and Anzi.
Zhizhi touched it with some worry.
There can't really be three, right?
When she went out half an hour later, the two children had already followed Xiao Yu.
When I asked the palace maids next to me, they all said that Xiao Yu took her out of the palace to play.
Two days passed like this, and the palace banquet arrived as scheduled.
Zhizhi was called up early in the morning to put on the clothes given by the emperor, which was said to be worn by all concubines.
The clothes and headdresses are very thick and always feel heavy to wear.
Inside the palace banquet.
Many officials came to the banquet venue with their families.
Every concubine in the harem was dressed in her best attire.
This banquet was proposed by Xiao Yu after he returned from Jiangnan, so everyone just treated it as a small gathering.
Concubine Shu was dressed brightly, looking forward to meeting Xiao Yu.
She was the only one with the highest status in the harem, and everyone was inferior to her. Although her family background was good, she was the only one with the title of concubine in the harem.
Concubine Shu arrived late, just a quarter of an hour before the banquet.
Facing everyone's admiring gazes, she sat down proudly.
A moment.
There was a commotion outside the hall.
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows sharply, looked over with anger, and called her personal maid to scold her,
"Go see who's making a commotion outside?"
Before the maid went to check, a eunuch said, "Your Highness, welcome to the palace!"
The crowd was shocked.
Zhizhi was surrounded by palace servants and walked into the hall in a daze.
She looked at the crowd who were equally shocked and sat in the seat closest to Xiao Yu.
As luck would have it, Concubine Shu was just below her.
Concubine Shu's expression changed drastically, and she stared at her coldly and deeply, as if she wanted to tear her apart, and said maliciously,
"How come I didn't know when a new person appeared in the harem? Could it be that Your Majesty went to Jiangnan and was so happy with you that he didn't want to leave?"
Zhizhi smiled wryly, "Really? Then you really don't know much."
Concubine Shu glanced at Zhizhi with a sharp look, but before she could speak, another voice of greeting came from outside the hall.
The emperor is here!
Shufei then looked over with joy. His Majesty must have been deceived by these charming women, which is why he bestowed upon her the title of Imperial Concubine.
As long as she accompanies His Majesty for a period of time, I'm afraid there will be one more person in the cold palace.
Concubine Shu was very confident about this.
However, before a smile appeared on her face, the familiar dragon chariot had already entered the hall.
Xiao Yu openly ordered the dragon chariot to be carried into the palace, with two unfamiliar children following beside him.
Everyone opened their eyes again in disbelief, only to discover that there were actually two children in their Majesty's sedan chair?!
