Chapter 221 I am really sad...
That's how the matter was settled.
Although Bai Wutong was unable to live in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was able to move into the Ti Shun Hall behind the hall.
Ti Shun Hall was originally built for the harem, but it has been closed since the death of the last emperor.
According to the rules, only the queen is qualified to live in Ti Shun Hall.
However, no one mentioned this matter at the moment.
Today's queen is just a title in name only.
On the other hand, Concubine Zhao was not just an ordinary concubine.
As the prince's biological mother, she was pregnant again.
If she can successfully give birth to two smart little princes this time, her status in the harem will probably far exceed that of the queen in the future.
Those who once stood in the camp of the Duke of Zhenguo and tried to support the Queen are now silent and have stopped making any moves.
Once the Duke of Zhenguo fell, his power would be scattered like monkeys after a tree falls.
Wen Zhemao sat among the crowd, his face gloomy and extremely ugly.
The more successful Bai Wutong became, the faster his heart beat.
Logically speaking, the incident with the Imperial Guards had been over for a long time, and the emperor had not punished him, as if he knew nothing about it. However, he was still worried and could not let it go.
Especially today, this feeling of uneasiness has become stronger and my heart is beating as if it is going to burst through my chest.
He could only concentrate on eating, trying his best to avoid attracting anyone's attention.
At this moment, all his hopes were placed on Wen Chuyun, hoping that she could gain the emperor's favor as soon as possible. In this way, their family might be able to feel a little relieved.
…
There was drinking and singing and dancing at the banquet.
Before we knew it, sunset had arrived.
The golden afterglow spreads across the earth like a veil, coating everything with a warm glow.
This grand birthday party finally came to an end.
Zhang Chengyan was in a particularly good mood today. He drank a few more glasses of wine and had a slightly drunken blush on his face.
He put his arm around Bai Wutong's waist affectionately and walked towards the Yangxin Palace together.
Only after the two of them left did the other ministers and concubines dare to leave.
Wang Decai had already ordered his men to go to Zhaochun Palace to pack up things to ensure that Bai Wutong and others would stay in Tishun Hall tonight.
The two little guys, Yunhe and Yunxi, were already exhausted. Their little heads kept nodding, but they were still well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss.
As soon as she entered the Yangxin Palace, Bai Wutong said softly, "Your Majesty, Yun and Yunxi are too sleepy. I will send them back to rest first."
Zhang Chengyan's eyes were extremely gentle, without any coldness in them, "Well, go ahead. You should also rest early. You are pregnant now, so you have to be more careful about everything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tishun Hall, at first glance the name suggests the space is not large, but when you actually step into it, you will find that it is spacious and bright with an exquisite layout.
Bai Wutong was very satisfied with this residence.
The closer she was to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the safer she felt.
At the same time, she can also pay better attention to the emperor's every move to prevent others from taking advantage of her pregnancy.
Especially Wen Chuyun!
That night, the entire palace was brightly lit, as bright as day.
The bright lights stayed on all night.
The next three days were rest time, and the palace was much quieter than usual.
Zhang Chengyan woke up slowly and sat on the edge of the bed. His mind couldn't help but recall everything that happened yesterday. He felt as if he was in a dream.
"Wang Decai."
"I'm here!" Upon hearing the voice, Wang Decai immediately stepped forward and waited respectfully on the side.
Zhang Chengyan raised his hand and rubbed his swollen and painful solar plexus. "Yesterday... were the things that happened at the birthday party true?"
"It is absolutely true, Your Majesty. Auspicious signs have descended from heaven. Magpies have gathered. Concubine Zhao is pregnant with a dragon fetus again. This is all true!"
"That's good." Zhang Chengyan slowly put down his hand, his expression regained some clarity, "I am going to Tishun Hall. Yunhe is the crown prince, and he is so smart that he should be trained as early as possible. Why not let him stay by my side from today, and he will definitely achieve something in the future. In addition, you should immediately send people to the people to spread the strange things that happened at the birthday party yesterday. Find a few good storytellers and let them tell more about these things in the teahouse. At the same time, arrange for people to compile some picture books and circulate them."
Most ordinary people have little opportunity to read and write, but they are keen on listening to books and reading picture books.
Zhang Chengyan knew very well that the love and support of the people were the foundation for the prosperity and long-lasting fortune of the Darong Kingdom.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Wang Decai agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Early this morning, Concubine Wen sent someone to say that Concubine Wen cried all night yesterday and drank a lot of wine. It seems that she was sad about the loss of the dragon fetus. Your Majesty, do you want to visit her?"
When mentioning Wen Chuyun, Zhang Chengyan's mind came to her mind of her child who died before he was born.
She was only a few months pregnant and before she could even show any signs of pregnancy, she died.
I can’t say how sad I was because that sad feeling has long passed.
But after all, they are my own flesh and blood, and I still feel a little regretful when I think about it now.
When Wen Chuyun had his face injured and looked horrible, he felt disgusted and never went to see him once.
Now that her face has healed, as the emperor, I should go and see her. After all, she is my woman.
"Okay, then I will go to Wuyou Palace to see her first."
In the Wuyou Palace.
When Wen Chuyun heard that the emperor was coming, she suddenly became energetic, stood up immediately, and drove out all the palace maids around her.
She quickly applied powder on her face and carefully put on her makeup.
Then he took out a delicate box only the size of a fingernail, carefully picked out some incense powder from it, and gently poured it into the incense burner.
After doing all this, she returned to the bed, lay down lazily, and acted as if she had not yet woken up.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following the eunuch's shrill and long announcement, everyone in the palace immediately saluted.
After hearing the announcement, Wen Chuyun waited for a moment before pretending to be weak and slowly stood up. "Your Majesty, I am really weak and couldn't go out to greet you. I hope Your Majesty won't blame me."
She was wearing a light gauze dress, which lingered around her like clouds. Her shoulders were faintly visible, and the softness of her chest was half-covered, revealing a hint of alluring hazy beauty.
A few days ago, she was worried about the injuries on her face all day long. She lost her appetite and rarely went out. Without sunlight, her skin became whiter than snow.
Her figure is also much thinner than before. The original roundness has faded, and now her slender waist is fully revealed, adding a bit of pitiful charm.
In addition, she carefully put on makeup and deliberately imitated Bai Wutong's delicate posture in her every move. Her eyebrows and expression were surprisingly 70% similar to Bai Wutong's. She looked more beautiful and charming than before.
Zhang Chengyan stepped into the room, his eyes fell on her, and he looked her up and down, "Your face has recovered quite well."
"Your Majesty..." Wen Chuyun slowly raised his head, his eyes full of affection, very charming, he looked exactly like a replica of Bai Wutong.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a crystal teardrop hung on them, dangling and about to fall. "Sister Zhao Fei is pregnant, which is naturally a great joy. I shouldn't have lost my composure like this. But...but whenever I think of the child I lost, my heart feels like it's being stabbed by a knife, and I can't stop feeling sad."
She suddenly threw herself into Zhang Chengyan's arms, her shoulders shaking violently, and she burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I am so sad, so sad..."
