Chapter 178 Warmth
Time passed slowly, and a few more days passed.
Feng Moheng had already left the palace.
As for whether he returned to his fiefdom or stayed in Ganjing, Shen Yuning had no idea.
Inside Yaohua Palace.
Lan Ying frowned slightly, looking worried.
"My Lady, the maid Furong that the Liu family sent to the palace looks very impressive to me. She has a very deep mind. Why did you allow her to enter the palace so easily?"
You know, palace maids have always had to go through strict approval before entering the palace. Now the power of the palace is firmly in the hands of the Empress. As long as the Empress gives an order, Furong will not be able to set foot in the palace at all.
It is obvious that Furong is the helper specially sent into the palace by the Liu family.
Shen Yuning's expression was as calm as water, because everything was under control.
The palace maid Furong had already been secretly replaced by Feng Moheng and became a chess piece in her plan.
Seeing the Queen's expression, Lan Ying couldn't help but become more curious, frowning and asking, "Could it be that the Queen has other plans?"
Shen Yuning curled her lips slightly.
Youyou said, "I don't want to make any arrangements for no reason. I just want Liu Zhaoyi to make some interesting arrangements herself."
Lan Ying became more and more confused.
At this moment, Bai Hua hurried into the palace, knelt down and saluted before reporting: "Your Majesty, Nanny Cui, who took the Third Prince out for a walk today, came back to tell me that she ran into Furong from Yong'an Palace near the bluestone road near the lotus pond."
"Although Furong kept her head down, the queen had specifically asked Madam Cui to remember the appearance of all the palace maids in Yong'an Palace, so she recognized her at the first sight."
Bai Hua paused, and then said, "Also, the Third Prince seems to be feeling a little unwell right now. Madam, would you like to summon the Imperial Physician to treat the Third Prince immediately?"
Shen Yuning showed a determined smile and turned to look at Lan Ying: "Look, isn't the opportunity here?"
I see.
Liu Zhaoyi was so impatient to take action, she really got what she wanted.
Shen Yuning thought for a moment and ordered, "Wait until His Majesty comes, then come back to report this matter."
Liu Shihan doesn't feel sorry for her own son, so why should she pretend to feel sorry for him?
Nature will do whatever is beneficial to itself.
Lan Ying looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, although we all know in our hearts that this matter is most likely done by the people in Yong'an Palace, but... we don't have any solid evidence at the moment."
Shen Yuning smiled confidently and said reassuringly, "Evidence? Don't worry, there will always be evidence."
Lan Ying felt at ease immediately when she saw the confident look on the Empress' face.
With the Empress in charge, Concubine Liu had nothing to fear and she was no longer worried.
But she still marveled in her heart that in just over a year, she had become the highest-ranking female official in the harem!
Thinking back on what happened after the Empress entered the palace, I didn't even have to plan many things myself. I just had to follow the Empress' arrangements and everything would go smoothly.
This feeling is as if someone is carrying you on a journey of flying, it is truly wonderful.
That's great.
Lan Ying sighed softly, then retreated respectfully.
Today, Quan Minghe came early, which was rare.
As I stepped into Yaohua Palace, I saw Shen Yuning lying lazily on the couch, holding a book in her hands and reading it leisurely.
The hall was filled with the scent of incense, and the light and shadow cast a soft halo on her body, like a stunning painting of a beauty.
Quan Minghe walked lightly to her side and sat down, gently placing her head on his lap.
Shen Yuning had long been accustomed to such intimacy. After leaning on his legs, she turned over very naturally, turned her head to the outside, and lay comfortably.
"Are you hungry?"
Shen Yuning shook her head, her eyes full of smiles: "Your Majesty, today the maids took the Third Prince to the bluestone road over by the lotus pond. The lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is everywhere, which makes people feel relaxed and happy."
"I heard from Mammy that the Third Prince loved it so much that he was reluctant to return to the palace."
Ever since the Third Prince came to Yaohua Palace, almost every time Quan Minghe came, Shen Yuning would enthusiastically share with him all kinds of interesting stories about the Third Prince.
At first, Quan Minghe was still a little confused and didn't understand why she cared so much about the third prince who was not her biological son.
Later, she explained with a smile: "The Third Prince is now my son. As a mother, I naturally have to accompany him as he grows up. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and has no time to accompany the child all the time, but as a father, I must know the child's preferences and understand what is happening around him."
Kwon Myung-hyuk has always been strict with the princes. He has never felt fatherly love since he was a child. His father only trained him as the crown prince, so he doesn't know how to get along with children. Or he thinks that his strictness towards the princes is the normal attitude of an emperor towards his children.
However, listening to her story, I found it quite interesting, and even felt a long-lost sense of warmth in my heart.
Just like now, every time he finished dealing with state affairs and stepped into Yaohua Palace, his heart was filled with warmth even when he listened to her talking about trivial matters.
"The Third Prince will definitely be well taken care of by Meimei in the future."
Quan Minghe's eyes were full of affection as he brushed away a strand of hair from her cheek.
Shen Yuning raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course."
As she spoke, she pointed her finger at a line of text in the book.
"Your Majesty, please look at this. Although I have no experience in raising children, I am willing to learn it carefully."
"It is written in this book: 'If you don't teach your son, it's like raising a donkey; if you don't teach your daughter, it's like raising a pig.' As parents, we should not only provide our children with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but also pay attention to the teaching of morality and knowledge."
"I want the Third Prince to grow up to be a responsible and knowledgeable person, so that he can share the worries of Your Majesty in the future."
"Moreover, the book also says, 'If you love your son, choose a teacher to teach him.' When the third prince grows up, I want to choose the most learned teacher in the world for him, so that he can be well-versed in history and become your Majesty's right-hand man in the future."
Quan Minghe followed her finger and was surprised to find that she was reading an educational book.
In an instant, he felt inexplicably sad.
It turns out that she loves children so much that she can devote her whole heart to the child even if the child is not her own.
Quan Minghe placed his hands on her waist and rubbed it gently unconsciously, and ripples appeared in his heart.
When would she be able to have their baby?
Quan Minghe has never been so eagerly looking forward to the birth of a child as she is now. If it is their biological child, she will definitely pay more attention to it and give all her love to the child.
Quan Minghe always thought that he was an extremely rational person. He was cruel to others and ruthless to himself.
At that time, when Xixi passed away suddenly, he was extremely sad and immersed in endless sorrow.
But at that time, the country had just been settled, and there was a lot of work to be done. Many affairs came to him like a tide and piled up on him, leaving him no time to slowly digest the grief.
He could only muster up his courage and immediately devote himself to state affairs.
Every day, he had to give various instructions to his ministers, meet with envoys from various countries, and deal with various complicated affairs.
At night, he was filled with sorrow, fatigue and grief, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep. Sometimes he even stayed awake until dawn.
This situation lasted for a whole month.
Finally, his body could no longer bear the strain and he was forced to rest at the repeated requests of the imperial physician.
However, because he suffered from severe insomnia, the imperial physician specially prepared a calming incense for him.
For Quan Minghe, those days were the most difficult and painful time in his life, but he gritted his teeth and got through it.
Because of this, he always thought that he would not act on his emotions easily again.
But at this moment, he actually felt that if Mimi could give birth to a prince for him, he only wanted to hand over the empire he had fought for to their child, and he would definitely train him personally and pave a bright future for the child.
If she gave birth to a princess, he would definitely pamper her to the heavens, making her the most noble woman in the dynasty besides her mother, and letting her enjoy all the glory in the world.
