Chapter 336: With a grandson, he has the confidence to speak. Doctor Yu examined Shen Chuwei and found out that she had twins.

The prince doted on Concubine Shen Liangdi and was unwilling to treat her equally, which resulted in her being childless for more than a year, which made the prince very angry.

Shen Liangdi was imprisoned in the cold palace and confined to her house, and as a result, the prince still had no children.

This matter has long become a topic of conversation in the harem after dinner.

When Concubine Yun learned that the Empress had gone to the Eastern Palace, she deliberately waited on the road and used Yin'er to deliberately provoke the Empress.

The Queen has been monopolizing the Emperor these days, and it has been difficult for her to see him.

Seeing the empress coming from a distance, Concubine Yun walked over with Yin'er by her side and greeted her: "Your Majesty."

Yin'er bowed and saluted very well.

"Yin'er pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."

Yin'er is already three and a half years old. His pronunciation is much clearer than last year and his voice is still babyish, which is quite likable.

Concubine Yun looked at her grandson with joy: "Your Majesty, do you think Yin'er is very smart? He is only three and a half years old, but he is very polite and kowtows. However, the Crown Prince and all the princes in the future will surely be this smart."

The words and the meaning are reminding that the prince still has no offspring, what a failure~

In the past, the Queen would have been so angry and jealous of Yun Xian that she would have died.

now?

Her grandson will be born soon, it's just a matter of time.

Her grandson is the smartest and cutest!

As for Yun Xian's pretentiousness, the Queen didn't take it seriously at all.

"Empress Yun, you really speak the truth. How outstanding is the Crown Prince? The children he gave birth to are naturally outstanding. Yin'er still needs to work hard, otherwise he will be overtaken by his brother, and then it will be ugly. Empress Yun, what do you think?"

When it comes to Yun Xianbai, the Queen always speaks rudely. When Concubine Yun shows off, she gets defensive.

Concubine Yun looked unhappy. "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Yin is already three and a half years old, and the Crown Prince still has no children. We have to wait at least a few more years."

I snorted in my heart. Is it possible that the prince is unable to do it? It may take several years for him to give birth.

The Empress understood exactly what Concubine Yun meant, but to Concubine Yun's disappointment, her grandson would be born soon.

"So let Yin'er work hard. Otherwise, due to the big age gap, he will be worse than his younger brother. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"

Concubine Yun's face turned green with anger. "I'm sorry to have caused the Empress to worry. Yin'er will have a teacher. The Empress should still worry about the prince giving birth to a child as soon as possible so that the Emperor can be at ease."

The queen glanced at Yin'er. What was the big deal about him being able to bow and perform formalities at the age of three? Her two sons could recite poems fluently at the age of three, but Yin'er, who was not very talented, was praised very highly by Concubine Yun.

"No matter how good the teacher is, it is useless if the students are not smart. As for the prince's offspring, there is no need for me to worry about it. I can just wait to hold my grandson."

Concubine Yun looked extremely ugly.

"It's so hot, even though Yun Fei is not hot, Yin Er is still a child and cannot stand the scorching sun. If he gets heat stroke, it's no joke."

After the queen finished speaking, she walked away with dignified and elegant steps.

Concubine Yun was almost angry to the point of having heatstroke. Didn’t she become the empress just by relying on her mother’s family?

If you weren't the Queen, I wonder if you would dare to be so arrogant.

Concubine Yun was angry and did not notice that Yin'er's face was flushed and his eyes were abnormal.

It was not until Yin'er fainted that Yun Fei came to her senses and her legs went limp with fear.

After seeing a doctor, he found out that it was heat stroke.

When the queen found out about this, she was furious and confined Concubine Yun to her house for a month.

The red glutinous corn and sweet glutinous corn in the backyard were ripe. Chunxi broke off a few ripe ones and put them in the pot to steam.

Shen Chuwei looked at her bulging belly and specially asked Chunxi to make a loose dress for her. In fact, it was a modified version of Hanfu with a high waist. It was both beautiful and cool, and the key was that it was not easy to see the pregnant belly.

When Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan arrived, the corn was ripe. Chunxi cooled it with cold water before serving it on the table.

The color of snow glutinous corn is very dark, very close to the color of mulberry purple rice.

Concubine Xu was shocked when she saw the snowy corn. If Shen Chuwei hadn't said it was edible, she would have suspected that someone had poisoned it. It was so dark~

Shen Chuwei had already picked up the corn and started eating.

"This is the bloody glutinous corn. It is indeed very different." Tao Liangyuan picked up one and took a bite out of curiosity. It was indeed glutinous and tasted a little different from yellow corn.

Concubine Xu was not polite and picked up one to chew. "Shen Liang Di, where did you get such a novel thing?"

Shen Chuwei said without blushing: "I live in the countryside, and I have seen a lot of new and strange things."

Concubine Xu believed it to be true because she was born in the capital and had been spoiled since childhood.

"Yes, I have never seen what the countryside is like."

Tao Liangyuan asked while chewing corn: "I heard that Chang Liangyuan came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. What is she doing here?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Because the Queen is here, she came over."

Concubine Xu had no feelings for Chang Liangyuan, and after the fake pregnancy recipe, she hated her even more. This time, she felt that she had bad intentions.

"Is she going to play some tricks again?"

Tao Liangyuan paused while chewing the corn and reminded seriously: "Shen Liangdi, you'd better be careful."

"Shen Chuwei bit the corn and said: It's okay, I'm not afraid of her."

"You are pregnant now. If Chang Liangyuan finds out, she will definitely do something about it." After saying this, Concubine Xu stared at Shen Chuwei's belly with some concern. Because she was pregnant with twins, her belly was much bigger than the day before.

Shen Chuwei lowered her head and glanced at her belly. "I didn't let her see me last time I came."

Tao Liangyuan said: "The women in the palace are scheming and will do anything to win favor, so be careful."

Shen Chuwei nodded and agreed.

At this time, Qingying came in with a group of people.

Shen Chuwei and the others looked over curiously and saw many things, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry~

Qingying said kindly: "Shen Liang Di, these are gifts from the Queen."

Shen Chuwei stepped forward to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Her Majesty."

"Dear Concubine Shen, please have a good rest. I will go back and report." Qingying went back with a faint smile.

After the others left, Concubine Xu saw the gifts and was surprised: "Why is the Queen so kind to you? I remember a few months ago, the Queen let Your Highness share the spoils equally."

"The things the Empress gave me are all good things." Tao Liangyuan touched the silk and satin. "This is the Shu brocade offered by Gusu. It's not the common Shu brocade. This one is made of the best emerald silk and has a complicated craftsmanship."

Shen Chuwei didn't understand all this. She touched the fabric and found it was indeed comfortable. The clothes made from it would definitely be comfortable to wear.

"Tao Liangyuan is different. You can tell by just touching her." Concubine Xu also touched the material curiously and looked at the patterns.

"Of course. I heard that the quantity of green silkworm is very limited. Only two rolls of cloth can be woven every year, which are mainly used to make clothes for the empress and the emperor." Tao Liangyuan's family is rich and powerful. She was fortunate to have used such Shu brocade. Because money can make the devil work, she was able to get some in the face of high prices.

Concubine Xu was astonished. She looked at Shen Chuwei with some excitement, "The Queen is so kind to you that she gave such precious Sichuan brocade to Shen Liangdi."

After admiring the fabric, Tao Liangyuan turned around and asked in confusion, "Why is the Queen suddenly so nice to you?"

Concubine Xu also looked over curiously.

Shen Chuwei looked at the two people in front of her and explained, "Maybe it's because I'm pregnant?"

Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan said almost in unison, "Does the Queen know that you are pregnant?"

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, "Yes, the Queen has sharp eyes and golden eyes, and she can't be hidden."

Concubine Xu suddenly realized, "No wonder he treats you so well."

Tao Liangyuan pondered for a long time and asked, "I'm curious, the queen didn't make this public, what did she want to do?"

Shen Chuwei hooked her finger at the two of them.

Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan came over curiously.

Shen Chuwei whispered the Queen's thoughts into their ears.

After hearing this, Concubine Xu was stunned, because someone did something for her that she dared not do. She was excited and looking forward to that famous scene.

She asked again: "Does the Queen really want to do this?"

Shen Chuwei nodded, "Yeah."

Tao Liangyuan was full of admiration, "Sure enough, the old ones are still the best. Only the empress dares to confront the emperor like this."

Concubine Xu smiled with her eyebrows curved, "The Queen can handle it. If there is a grudge, she can really help us avenge it."

Tao Liangyuan couldn't help laughing. This joke was from a storybook, which she happened to have read before.

Shen Chuwei couldn't help but laugh too.

Xu Cefei and Tao Liangyuan learned a lot of jokes~

Xiaoxiang Pavilion was very busy during this period. The Empress, Concubine Xu, and Tao Liangyuan took turns coming and sending any delicious food to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Even so, Shen Chuwei was still hungry. What she was hungry for was not cake and chicken soup, nor rice dumplings and corn, but stir-fried crayfish.

It had been a long time since she came to ancient times, and it had been a long time since she had eaten lobster.

My mouth is watering now.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

When Shen Chuwei heard Xiao Jinyu's voice, her eyes lit up. She raised her delicate little face and looked out the window. Xiao Jinyu's slender body was standing outside the window. At first glance, he really looked like Xiao Jinyan.

"Sister-in-law, I brought you some roast duck." Xiao Jinyu happily raised the oil-paper bag in her hand.

Shen Chuwei didn't want to eat roast duck now. She held the oil paper bag and looked at Xiao Jinyu expectantly, "I want to eat lobster. Can you get it for me?"

Xiao Jinyu was confused: "Lobster? What is that?"

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. Were there no lobsters in ancient times?

She waved her hands and said, "Forget it, I'd better taste it in my dream."

Seeing that Shen Chuwei was not very happy, Xiao Jinyu said, "Sister-in-law, I came to tell you that the prince is on his way and will be back in Beijing within five days."

Shen Chuwei perked up after hearing that, "It's pretty fast."

As soon as Xiao Jinyu left, the empress arrived.

Shen Chuwei was gnawing on a roasted duck leg when she was seen by the Queen.

In order to prevent the queen from forbidding her to eat, she tore off a duck leg and stuffed it into the queen's hand, "Your Majesty, eat the roasted duck leg."

The queen took the duck leg and took a bite. It tasted good.

Only then did Shen Chuwei feel at ease and continued to chew the duck leg.

When Chunxi came in, she saw the young lady gnawing on a duck leg. She wanted to warn her, but the Empress was also gnawing on a duck leg, so she didn't dare to say anything. She subconsciously thought that the roast duck was brought by the Empress.

Because every time the Queen came, she would bring food for the young lady. She came almost every day and brought food every day.

After the queen finished eating the duck leg, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and started talking about business.

"I've brought a doctor here to check your pulse."
