At this time, the alchemist in the palace presented the emperor with the latest elixir he had developed.
Alchemists were also recruited into the palace in recent years, and there have been no outstanding alchemists in the palace.
The emperor was anxious and wanted to prolong his life, and it happened that he was leaving the palace.
I met a master who traveled around the world, and after spending a few days with him, I found that he had real skills.
So I brought it back.
In the past two years, alchemists have been practicing more to maintain their health.
The emperor was also suspicious, and he would usually show the elixirs he developed to the head of the Imperial Hospital before he dared to take them.
Gradually, I started to eat it directly.
The newly developed elixir today just happens to suit the emperor's taste.
Used to replenish essence and nourish qi.
Just eat one before favoring your concubines.
He took the pill and tested its medicinal properties, and it was indeed very effective.
That night was also very enjoyable and very useful.
Very good mental strength.
Great reward for the alchemist.
The emperor was busy favoring the newcomer.
The concubines who had some free time turned their attention to Concubine Xu.
She entered the palace inexplicably and no one knew her background.
The Queen gave Xu Zhiyi some gifts and came to visit her on the first day she found out she was pregnant.
Later, when she knew that the Queen Mother was watching her, she was too lazy to go to see Concubine Xu to avoid annoying her.
If something goes wrong, blame it on yourself.
The other concubines didn't think so. For example, the other party was pregnant and had now been promoted to concubine.
If she is born one day, she will be a concubine.
If he is crowned the crown prince, it is not certain whether the queen will change.
Those who were not members of the Queen's party did want to make friends with her, but they did not dare to be too blatant.
However, the plum garden outside Shuiyuxuan has many more people who have nothing to do and come to see if the plum blossoms have bloomed.
Naturally, these things also reached Lu Yan's ears.
Lu Yan directly ordered people to block the plum garden with a wall.
The others also stopped to see what Concubine Xu was thinking.
Xu Zhiyi was trapped in this Shuyuxuan every day and felt extremely bored.
When Lu Yan came to see her again in the evening, she kicked him hard with her little feet.
"It's all your fault. I can't eat anymore. I throw up everything I eat."
Lu Yan gently held her little feet. It was already very cold outside, and the house was well-insulated. He was worried that she would catch a cold. He covered her with a quilt.
"Don't you like the cooking of the cook hired for you by the palace?"
"Yes, I want spicy food. The food they cook for me every day is very bland, and I don't like it."
"Why do you suddenly want to eat spicy food? Did you like spicy food before?"
"I've been really into spicy food lately, but the cook is afraid I'll get irritated, so she only puts a little chili in it."
She suddenly thought of sour boy and spicy girl.
Seeing that Lu Yan didn't say anything, could it be that eunuchs also favor boys over girls?
She immediately reached out and pinched Lu Yan's waist and abdomen.
"Do you prefer sons?"
Lu Yan's eyes flickered. He had never thought about this question. He thought he would never have children in his lifetime. It was natural to like children, regardless of gender.
"Don't overthink it. I want to hire a chef for you from Bashu. But you have to be restrained. Don't eat too much. If you get irritated, I'll replace him."
Thinking of the precious items that have been sent to her recently, they are like a stream of water.
I think he also puts a lot of thought into this child.
It’s just that those rare treasures seem very beautiful at first, but after looking at them for a long time, they become boring.
"Tell me, why hasn't the emperor come to see me recently? It doesn't make sense. I'm pregnant, the only one in the harem, so why wouldn't he come?"
Lu Yan's eyes darkened. He would not say that this was because he had been taking tonics and busy favoring other concubines recently.
"It's almost time. Do you want him to come over?"
Xu Zhiyi heard these words. Although there was no tone in the voice, she could still sense a cold tone.
"I'm not afraid of the child. What if he doesn't get favored and doesn't become the crown prince?"
"I'm here, so relax and just take good care of yourself."
Not to mention that there is no prince in the harem now, if another death occurs, he will help them solve it.
"Don't think too much, just go to sleep."
Xu Zhiyi fiddled with the handkerchief in his hand:
"You always make me sleep. Do you have a storybook? I'm so bored in the palace."
Lu Yan thought that he was usually busy dealing with a lot of things, so he naturally didn't feel bored. Xu Zhiyi would of course feel bored here every day.
It's still winter and there are no flowers to enjoy.
"If you're bored, I'll find you a singer from outside the palace. You can also look at picture books, but don't look at them for too long, it can hurt your eyes."
"Okay, what has Gu Jingyan been busy with recently?"
After Xu Zhiyi said this, she felt his wrist suddenly pinched hard and she cried out in pain.
Lu Yan naturally had a thorough investigation into Xu Zhiyi's history before she entered the palace, and he also knew that Gu Jingyan was her ex-husband and her childhood sweetheart.
"Why, is Your Majesty still worried about Gu Jingyan now?"
When he heard the other person's cry of pain, his hands loosened their strength and his expression turned cold, but he still slowly stroked the wrist as if he was playing with a treasure.
Then he gently kissed the palm of her hand:
"Kiss me and I'll kiss you back."
I think apart from the time when I seduced him and kissed him, I never took the initiative again.
Xu Zhiyi still ignored her. She had been in the palace for two months and had been very idle recently.
If you know that the other party has violated the agreement, you can find something to do.
If you think about it, the other person's belly should be obvious.
So she continued to ask stubbornly:
"Has he remarried recently?"
"Again? Don't forget that you are mine now. The past is the past. Don't mention it again."
"What are you doing? If someone doesn't know, they would think you are jealous."
Lu Yan didn't understand what jealous meant. Xu Zhiyi would occasionally say a few words that he didn't understand.
Anyway, it's not a good thing.
"Just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I'll give you everything you want, but if I find out you're thinking about other men again, I'll..."
I wanted to say those three words, but I felt that it would scare her, and I didn't want her to be surprised at all.
"So what? You dare to threaten me?"
"I will break your legs and keep you chained to me day and night."
"Forget it, I'll educate you properly after you give birth to a child."
The kind you whip with a small whip.
