Qin Youran's eyes widened in disbelief. She took a step back involuntarily, her voice trembling.
"That's impossible! That's my mother and sister..."
The Queen Mother sneered and said lightly, "She's just a mere concubine. The Imperial Palace has as many as they need. As for Princess Huiyang, she's just a useless princess. The late Emperor had no shortage of daughters, so why would he truly care about her?"
At that time, the Queen Mother had already firmly sat on the throne of Queen, her son was made the Crown Prince, the Lu family was extremely powerful, and her brother also held an important position as Shangshu Ling, and was highly regarded by the late Emperor.
For the Queen Mother, there was no need to harm a concubine who was not favored.
Qin Youran's eyes were bloodshot, and she still couldn't believe the so-called truth the Queen Mother said, "You lied to me!"
"King Qin, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Qin Youran stepped back, looked at the empress dowager in disbelief, then turned around and ran out of the Cining Palace like crazy.
On this day, Qin Youran disappeared in the huge imperial city.
The snow fell freely, and thick snow covered the palace.
Lu Tianyun searched for a whole day and finally found the drunk Qin Youran in a secluded palace.
Qin Youran hid the sadness in his eyes and hugged Lu Tianyun into his arms. He said, "Fortunately, I still have you by my side."
Lu Tianyun confessed affectionately: "Your Highness, it is my life's blessing to be able to be by your side."
…
After the New Year, Hua Mingqiao and his wife returned to the capital from the northern border. After staying in the capital for two days, Hua Mingqiao took Yue Zheng and Huo Linglong back to Su Nian to meet his brother and sister-in-law.
Hua Mingqiao said that he wanted to take his wife and children home to worship his ancestors and his parents in heaven.
Hua Fushu reluctantly bid farewell to his uncle, aunt, and younger brother.
After the spring, good news came from the palace that Queen Lu Tianyun was pregnant.
Hua Fushu was extremely surprised when she heard the good news from Mu Qing. She was going to be an aunt!
Mu Qing explained her purpose, "Miss Fushu, the Empress is worried about the fetus in her belly and wants you to come into the palace to check on her."
Hua Fushu told her mother-in-law, Madam Ouyang, about this, and then took Sanqiao and Mu Qing into the palace.
In the palace.
Lu Tianyun wore her hair in a heart-shaped bun, a flowery hairpin, and a goose-yellow palace skirt with a double-breasted collar. Even when she was just sitting on the couch, she looked so gentle and peaceful.
Hua Fushu politely bowed before sitting down next to Lu Tianyun. "Tianyun, let me check your pulse."
After taking her pulse, Lu Tianyun eagerly asked about her fetal condition.
Hua Fushu held Lu Tianyun's hand and said, "Your pulse is strong and powerful, very good. You must be giving birth to a healthy little prince or princess."
Lu Tianyun asked a lot of questions about precautions for pregnant women, and Hua Fushu answered them very carefully. Bisi was afraid that she would not remember them, so she wrote them down with a pen so that she could take care of Lu Tianyun more conveniently.
Hua Fushu had lunch in the palace before returning to the General's Mansion.
Thinking of Lu Tianyun's pregnancy, and then looking at her own flat and motionless belly, Hua Fushu showed a bit of loss.
The national mourning period is over, and she has to put the matter of having a child on the agenda.
That night, Hua Fushu brought a bowl of tonic to the study and said gently, "I see you've been busy with official duties these past few months and have lost a lot of weight. I've prepared a tonic for you to nourish your body. Drink it while it's hot."
Ye Zelin raised his head from the endless official business and looked at his considerate wife, feeling indescribable warmth in his heart.
It’s good to have a wife who studies medicine. He always feels particularly tired recently.
The man took the tonic and drank it in gulps, completely unaware of the cunning look that flashed across Hua Fushu's face.
Ye Zelin drank the tonic and continued to read the official documents sent from the North and West Territories.
Hua Fushu moved a wooden stool and sat aside, pretending to embroider. After every few stitches, she would secretly glance at Ye Zelin.
Half an hour passed.
Ye Zelin's body felt inexplicably hot. When he looked at Hua Fushu, his deep and dark eyes were full of primitive desire, and the fire in his abdomen burned more and more fiercely.
Hua Fushu stood up and walked over, her clothes slightly open, half covering her fair shoulders.
Ye Zelin suddenly pulled the person into his arms, lifted her up horizontally, and walked towards the soft couch in the study. He kissed her, lingering along her beautiful neck, while ripping open her clothes...
Accidentally entering the depths of joy, startled the swallows sleeping under the eaves.
After a passionate lovemaking, Hua Fushu lay on Ye Zelin's naked chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat. Although she was a little sleepy after tossing and turning two or three times, she still didn't want to sleep. Her slender fingers playfully drew circles on Ye Zelin's body.
Ye Zelin closed his eyes and let Hua Fushu do whatever he wanted to him.
Hua Fushu played around on Ye Zelin's chest for a while before shifting her focus to linger on her man's handsome face. His nose, eyes, and mouth were all so pretty, and the child she'd give birth to would surely be pretty too.
"Zelin, let's have a child. You see, Tianyun got married much later than us, and she and her senior brother already have a child." Hua said softly.
Ye Zelin had originally closed his eyes, but suddenly opened them after hearing this. Looking at the charming person in front of him, he felt a little amused and helpless. "So, in order to have a child, Madam gave me that kind of medicine?"
Hua Fushu blushed slightly, and he retorted somewhat weakly, "No... no! That's just an ordinary tonic. How could I possibly give you something that would harm your body?"
However, she glanced away slightly, not daring to look at Ye Zelin, obviously having something to hide.
How could Ye Zelin not see his wife's little thoughts?
He looked at the person in front of him with a half-smile, who looked guilty but pretended to be serious, and deliberately asked, "Madam, what is the difference between your tonic and that medicine?"
Hua Fushu would not admit it and replied stubbornly, "Of course there is a difference! This tonic I prepared specially for you. It can strengthen your yang and nourish your kidneys. It is very beneficial to your body."
"Oh? I see."
Ye Zelin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, "So, Madam, you misunderstood me, thinking that I am incapable of that?"
Hua Fushu heard the teasing in his words and immediately blushed with shame. She scolded him, "I didn't mean that."
"Since Madam feels that I need some tonic, then let me experience the effects of this tonic tonight."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Zelin turned over and pressed Hua Fushu tightly under him again, starting a new round of squeezing.
Hua Fushu worked hard for half a year, but his stomach was still empty.
It’s not that she has a physical problem, but Ye Zelin is too busy. He often goes out early and comes back late, and sometimes he has to go out on business. The couple can only have intimate time a few times a month.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ouyang, understood Hua Fushu. She did not urge her, but advised her to let nature take its course, not to rush things, and to relax her mind, as she might get pregnant.
In late October, Queen Lu Tianyun gave birth to Qin Youran's eldest son.
Qin Youran was overjoyed and named his eldest son Wuxian.
Shortly after the prince's full moon, Ye Shiheng returned to the capital.
