As it was getting dark, in Jingren Palace.
There was the sound of a child wailing loudly.
Le Wen cried, and Le Yun started crying too.
Queen Duan scolded, "Shut up!"
Pulling Le Wen over, he asked, "Why are you crying for no reason? Tell your mother who bullied you?"
Lewen's face turned red from crying.
"Mother, please talk to the general and ask him to take care of me, wuwuwu..."
When Queen Duan heard this, she was so angry that she slapped her on the shoulder.
"You are useless! You are the eldest princess, of noble status. How can you be so humble?"
Lewen said sadly:
"The General has been ignoring me lately. I've tried very hard to memorize the lessons, but I haven't been as comprehensive as he was to the Grand Tutor. Does the General think I'm stupid..."
Queen Duan cursed:
"Is he worthy? Who the hell is he to look down on you?
Le Wen, let's ignore him. In the future, your mother will find a way to ask your father to cancel the engagement and find you a better husband."
"I don't want it, I just want Jiang Jiang! Mother hates it!"
Lewen ran out of the palace.
Empress Duan was troubled by the noise.
"It must be Concubine Chen who instigated the general to ignore Le Wen. She has forgotten how I took care of her when she first entered the palace. What an ungrateful thing!"
Qingdai comforts:
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. The Emperor hasn't summoned Concubine Chen for a long time. He must no longer favor her."
Empress Duan was worried:
"The Emperor didn't go to any other palaces, and even Consort Cui wasn't summoned to accompany him to the Yangxin Palace."
"It must be because of the recent cholera outbreak and the busy state affairs."
The palace maid who was serving the meal flattered:
"I heard from the Ministry of Decoration that the Emperor has prepared a jeweled and kingfisher-inlaid phoenix crown for Your Majesty!"
Queen Duan was surprised and flattered.
"really?"
"It must be true, Your Majesty. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The Emperor will come to Jingren Palace.
He must have wanted to give the Empress a surprise."
Queen Duan's face was filled with joy.
After a long time, he explained:
"Mid-Autumn Festival is such a wonderful day. I will also give Concubine Chen a big gift."
He called Jin Qingdai to give orders, and the master and servant nodded continuously.
The past half month has been extremely peaceful.
Sheng Xiyan was watering the agarwood tree in the yard.
"My lady, please take a rest. I will come."
Hua Xia took the kettle,
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Would you like to ease the tension with the Emperor?
Even when the Emperor was angry, he ordered the Six Officials to look after Guanju Palace. What a generosity!
Sheng Xiyan picked a few red peppers,
"I will, don't worry."
Afraid that her belly would grow too fast, Sheng Xiyan ate small meals frequently and took walks in the yard more often. She didn't look pregnant at all and her waist was still slender.
She was in front, followed by the black cat, Pekingese and Chow Chow.
Animals are intelligent and can sense that Sheng Xiyan is pregnant. Even the naughty Pekingese stops jumping on her.
Sheng Xiyan turned her head back and saw the Chow Chow looking timid.
"Come here, Linlin, what are you afraid of? I won't bully you."
Put a red pepper in its mouth and ask, "Try it and see if it's spicy?"
The Chow Chow ran away quickly. It was obvious that this woman had bad intentions. She was about to become a mother, but she was still so unruly.
"Hahaha! You big stupid dog, if I don't tell you to run and exercise more, you'll get fatter and fatter."
Hua Xia laughed and said, "I eat my meals very seriously, but I don't gain weight."
The next morning, in the palace, several palace maids were dressing up Sheng Xiyan, who was wearing a Ruyi Begonia Shu brocade skirt.
Coral brought in a letter.
"My Lady, a palace maid stuffed it into the hands of a servant and ran away."
Sheng Xiyan opened it and saw that it said,
My beloved wife:
An hour later, we met at Changyin Pavilion.
Sheng Xiyan frowned slightly and pondered the handwriting. It was deliberately deformed. Was it Qi Yan who did it on purpose to avoid being discovered?
No, this is not a letter from Qi Yan. He would not do such a risky thing today.
Someone must be trying to frame her!
Sheng Xiyan folded the letter paper while thinking.
A sudden idea came to my mind.
Look out the carved window.
Can this incident realize the idea that has been buried in my heart for more than half a month?
I looked at my stomach and thought, maybe it's a risk, maybe it's futile. How can I know if it works if I don't try?
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to think about it, but now with three royal heirs as her guarantee, she can be bolder.
If she failed, she would confess that she was pregnant, and Xuan Ling would probably forgive her for the sake of the child.
In this broken palace, she has lost all her love and has a bunch of people against her. She is not sure whether she can live to give birth safely.
It's depressing and dangerous, so it's better to leave the palace to take care of the fetus.
"Hua Xia, call Mei Xiang and Shan Hu over and close the palace door."
"Yes, my lady."
After the master and servants discussed it, they acted according to the plan.
After the morning court session, Xuan Ling was on his way back to the Yangxin Palace from the Golden Palace.
When he saw the palace maids whispering, he felt something was wrong.
"Go and ask what happened."
Eunuch Fu went to inquire, and the palace maid ran away in fear and was caught by the guards.
"What happened? Why are you running away, little bastard?"
"Master, we servants are just blindly listening."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"There are rumors that the Empress Chen wants to rekindle her relationship with Marquis Wu'an."
As the imperial carriage approached, Xuan Ling heard everything clearly.
He gripped the armrest tightly and said angrily:
"These nonsense-mongering slaves will be clubbed to death on the spot. Anyone who spreads rumors again will be killed without mercy!"
The imperial carriage continued to move forward. Xuan Ling looked solemn, wondering who spread this rumor during the Mid-Autumn Festival to alienate the relationship between him and Sheng Xiyan.
