Chapter 298 Why is it you?
What Bai Wutong said makes sense.
Zhang Chengyan held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and the child."
"With your words, I feel relieved." Bai Wutong raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of affection and love.
The two of them rode in a sedan chair and returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Yunhe stumbled over, his little face filled with excitement, and he opened his arms and shouted, "Father, I want a hug!"
Zhang Chengyan immediately leaned over and lifted him up high, his face full of pampering, "Have you listened to Master's lecture obediently today?"
"Yes, today I learned a poem, and I will read it to you, Father."
Under Bai Wutong's deliberate arrangement and guidance, Zhang Chengyan's relationship with his two children is now becoming increasingly close.
Men cannot personally experience the hardships that women go through during their ten months of pregnancy, so their feelings for their children are often a little weak and need more careful nurturing.
Bai Wutong has always chosen to live in Tishun Hall, largely to create more opportunities for Zhang Chengyan to spend time with the children and help them develop a deep father-son relationship.
Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain.
During this half year, the relationship between Zhang Chengyan and his two children has grown stronger and stronger, and now it has reached the point where they miss them so much when they don’t see them for even a day.
Zhang Chengyan was busy with court affairs, and had two children around him in the harem all day long. In addition, Bai Wutong was always by his side, so he was really overwhelmed and had no time to favor other concubines in the harem.
This kind of time spent together day and night is gradually forming a habit in Zhang Chengyan's heart that is hard to give up.
There is nothing in this world more terrifying than the power of habit.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Decai bowed slightly, walked into the palace carefully, and reported softly, "The Concubine Jin is feeling a little better, and I would like to invite Your Majesty to come over."
Bai Wutong's hand holding the handkerchief tightened unconsciously.
Prior to this, Jin Weige was extremely sad about Xiyue's incident, and her health was affected. She fell ill all of a sudden, and her condition was quite serious. She had not appeared in the palace for a long time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she showed some improvement, she was thinking about meeting the emperor again.
Zhang Chengyan paused and turned to look at Bai Wutong, "Wutong, you stay here and take care of Yun and the others. I'm going to go see Concubine Jin. She has been ill for such a long time, and I've been busy with state affairs. I really haven't visited her much. I should go and see her."
"Your Majesty, please go without worry. I won't be unhappy." Bai Wutong walked up to him, stretched out her slender jade fingers like green onions, and gently helped him straighten his clothes. Her tone was gentle, "Sister Jin Fei has been ill for a long time. If Your Majesty visits her more often, she will feel more relieved."
"It's really kind of you to be so considerate."
After saying this, Zhang Chengyan stood up and left the Yangxin Palace.
The sky gradually darkened.
The afterglow of the setting sun is like blood, sprinkling on the earth.
There was peace in Yaoguang Hall.
As soon as Zhang Chengyan stepped into the palace, a melodious and graceful sound of the piano reached his ears.
The sound of the piano was like the gurgling of water or the gentle breeze in the forest. It was pleasant to the ears and lingered in the ears for three days.
Step into the hall.
Jin Weige leaned on the cushion, looking lazy and charming.
Wen Chuyun knelt beside him, playing the guqin attentively.
When the two saw Zhang Chengyan coming in, they immediately stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Jin Weige walked up to Zhang Chengyan, her expression full of resentment and lingering, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, you haven't come to visit me for so long. It seems that you don't pity my frail body at all."
"I have been very busy with government affairs recently."
Zhang Chengyan did not explain too much, but just pulled Jin Weige over and sat down with him, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better now. I try to eat well and take medicine on time every day, hoping to get better soon so that I can always be by your side."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Wen Chuyun and said, "Sister Wen, the emperor is here today, and I am very happy. How about you play another song to add some elegance to today?"
"Thank you, Madam Jin. I couldn't ask for more."
Wen Chuyun raised his eyes to look at Zhang Chengyan, then lowered his head and continued to pluck the strings.
As the sound of the piano rang out again, Zhang Chengyan's mood relaxed.
"Your Majesty, does this song sound familiar to you?" Jin Weige snuggled in Zhang Chengyan's arms, her little hands tapping on his chest dishonestly.
Zhang Chengyan listened quietly for a moment, and finally recalled, "This song is the one you played for me when I was about to go to the border."
"That's right! Your Majesty, I am so happy that you still remember. Your Majesty, can you stay with me today? I have been ill for so long, and Your Majesty has only visited me once. If you are still unwilling to stay today, I will be heartbroken!"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
A teardrop just fell on the back of Zhang Chengyan's hand.
The tears were warm, like a small flame, burning Zhang Chengyan's heart.
He indeed hadn't stepped into Yaoguang Palace for a long time.
Even when Jin Weige was at her worst, he only came to take a quick look.
At that time, Jin Weige always mentioned Xiyue's name, which made Zhang Chengyan angry and he soon left in anger.
At this moment, a beautiful woman shedding tears always arouses pity.
"Okay, then I will stay and accompany you for one night."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The sound of the piano paused for a moment, then started again.
The night deepened, thick as ink.
Zhang Chengyan stayed overnight in Yaoguang Palace.
Jin Weige twisted her slightly fat waist and said in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, I will go take a bath and cleanse myself."
"Yeah." Zhang Chengyan responded, but his eyes were a little wandering.
Now he really couldn't muster much interest in Jin Weige.
After experiencing the light and graceful flavor of the white sycamore, it is inevitable to feel a little bored when facing others.
But Bai Wutong was pregnant. In the past two months, the two of them had only been together a few times, and they had many concerns and could not enjoy themselves.
It's acceptable to vent occasionally.
A moment later, Jin Weige stepped into the bathtub. The warm steam rose up and blurred her face.
Wen Chuyun stood aside respectfully, picked up the cloth, and wiped her back personally, "Thank you, Concubine Jin, for giving me this opportunity."
"You'd better fight for it. If you can't get it done, I will replace you immediately!"
Jin Weige's health has not actually improved, she is just holding on. Her physical condition is still weak and she still needs to take a lot of medicine every day for conditioning.
In the next two years, her body will not be suitable for pregnancy, otherwise she will most likely have a miscarriage. Even if she manages to survive the first few months, by the second trimester, the dragon heir will most likely die in the womb.
But seeing Bai Wutong rising all the way up, even to the position of imperial concubine.
How could Jin Weige be willing to give up the honor that belonged to her!
Only then did she give Wen Chuyun a chance.
If Wen Chuyun can successfully conceive, she will be able to compete with Bai Wutong and regain a place in the harem!
"Yes, Madam Jin, rest assured, I will do my best."
Jin Weige slapped Wen Chuyun's hand away in disgust and said unhappily, "Go ahead, be quick, I don't want to hear your unbearable voice."
Wen Chuyun bowed slightly, stepped back, and walked towards the inner room with small steps.
Zhang Chengyan lay on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting.
Wen Chuyun climbed onto the bed quietly, reached out to lift the quilt, and got in.
"Your Majesty, I am here to serve you..."
"Why is it you?" Zhang Chengyan was surprised. He didn't expect that the person was replaced.
Wen Chuyun had carefully painted her makeup, which was somewhat similar to Bai Wutong, and her eyes were full of affection. "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Jin who called me here just now. She...she was not feeling well, but she was reluctant to let Your Majesty leave."
After that, her hand fell gently, and her tone became more tender, "Your Majesty... My feelings for you are the same as your Majesty's, so let me stay and serve you."
Zhang Chengyan took a deep breath, his throat rolling, and said, "Hmm."
This night, with the flickering candlelight, seemed especially long.
