When the couple had put the children to bed at night and returned to Xitang Courtyard and were lying on the bed, he spoke thoughtfully.

"The Queen Mother has repeatedly shown kindness to the Gu family. If this continues for a long time, His Majesty and the Queen will be dissatisfied. If they find out something that shouldn't be found... I'm afraid that this anger will involve the children."

Gu Shaoyu's worries were exactly what Du Jingyi was thinking. This kind of unwarranted care and love was not justified after all, so it was better to be more cautious.

"General, what you said is true, but the gift from the Queen Mother is too valuable, especially the Sui Marquis Pearl. I am afraid that it will cause trouble, so I have been offering it in the family temple since I got it. I also told the public that it was given by the Queen Mother out of gratitude to the loyal souls of the Gu family, not just for Brother Tai."

"Well, this is a good idea. At least the pressure won't be all on Taige'er. After today, he will be three years old. I will take him back to the camp in two days and come back in ten days or half a month. I will hone his temper and abilities so that he can protect himself and his brothers even if something happens in the future."

Du Jingyi tightened the hand of the person next to him and nodded silently, suppressing his worries about the future. He just tried his best to work hand in hand with the person next to him and advance and retreat together.

The couple talked and slowly fell asleep.

The night outside was as cold as water, and the general's mansion was also very quiet. However, the imperial city, which had just finished being bustling today, was now deserted.

On the first night after the empress was crowned, the emperor actually stayed overnight in the imperial concubine's Qingxiang Palace, leaving the empress, who should have received this honor, in Changchun Palace.

This was not only a slap in the face to the Queen, but also made the emotions of everyone in the harem, who were already unhappy with Xing You's coming from behind, even more intense.

In Changchun Palace.

Queen Yan stood in the bedroom with a melancholy look on her face, refusing to fall asleep.

In fact, today should be the most glorious moment of her life. After all, she has become the mother of a country, which is a wonderful thing that many women in the world want but cannot obtain.

But she did not feel that she had a sense of power. Instead, she was very worried. It was all because His Majesty's ascension to the throne today relied most on Prime Minister Guo and Gu Shaoyu, not their Earl's Mansion.

Therefore, her position as queen is not very stable.

In the night sky, the bright moon was hanging high. It was only the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so it was still round. However, there was something pitiful behind this roundness, which was that it was becoming incomplete day by day.

For some reason, she saw her future in this bright moon.

Especially the news that the emperor stayed overnight in Qingxiang Palace today, which intensified her thoughts. Therefore, she couldn't sleep well and simply got up and sat down.

This Changchun Palace was where she used to pay her respects, but now it has become where she wants to live permanently. I have to say, it's still very sad.

Seeing that this place was several times more spacious and luxurious than the Crown Princess's bedroom in the Eastern Palace, the thought of not wanting to lose it again in her heart increased several times.

So, as I was sitting there, I thought of something.

"Agarwood."

"The servant is here."

The maid on duty today has been serving Empress Yan for many years. Now that she has entered the palace, she is naturally the first female official in Changchun Palace, second only to Nanny Lin in status. After Nanny Lin retires, she will be the legitimate head aunt in Changchun Palace, so there is nothing wrong with her manners and behavior.

"Go to the storehouse and take out the white jade Guanyin statue that the Empress Dowager gave me. Send someone to deliver it to Qingxiang Palace tomorrow and tell the public that Concubine Xing is pregnant, which is a sign of great prosperity. So I sent it to her to help her stay pregnant. I hope she can safely give birth to the seventh prince, who will be the first child after your Majesty ascends the throne."

"Yes, I understand."

She wanted to hide, and Queen Yan naturally understood why.

But now that you have entered the palace, don't think about living a peaceful life. As for auspicious signs, everyone hopes that they can befall them, but if you are not the one who is landed one after another, it is not impossible to have some delusions.

And she just needs to sit firmly in the East Palace as she did before.

Now that I have found the solution, I can sleep soundly.

So the next day, not long after the emperor got up to attend court, the outside of the Qingxiang Palace became bustling with activity.

Concubine Xing had originally planned to lie down for a while, but unfortunately the loud noise of gongs and drums prevented her from sleeping peacefully even if she wanted to.

"My lady, I will go out and take a look."

The one who spoke was Shanhu, the maid who grew up with Concubine Xing. She was also a calm and steady person, so she was careful about everything.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw Chenxiang's face and the Guanyin statue of fertility in her hand. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong, but he still had to greet her with a smile.

"Sister Chenxiang, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"I was ordered by the Empress to send this statue of Guanyin to the Imperial Concubine. It was a gift from the Empress Dowager to the Empress. The Empress placed it in her bedroom, and she gave birth to two princes in succession. Both grew up safely and healthily. Now the Empress thinks that there has been no good news since the Imperial Concubine entered the East Palace, so she asked me to bring it to you to bring you joy."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Hearing this, Coral smiled but her eyes were full of fear.

Who knows whether this is true or not? Maybe he got the news and came to test it out, so he spoke.

"I thank the Empress for her grace on behalf of the Imperial Concubine. But when His Majesty left, he specifically told us not to wake her up, so... please forgive me, Sister Chenxiang."

With just one sentence, Chenxiang was blocked from entering the house to check. If the emperor was mentioned, who could get past him? Therefore, Chenxiang was not angry and said casually.

"Okay, then I'll have Sister Shanhu deliver this statue of Guanyin. The Queen asked me to tell her that she's looking forward to good news from the Imperial Concubine."

Coral took it solemnly, then bowed and said.

"Thank you for your words, Queen. I will let you know when you wake up."

"That's fine."

After saying this, Chenxiang was about to leave, but suddenly a retching sound was heard from the room. The sound was not loud at first, but when Chenxiang heard it, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. His expression immediately changed and he said anxiously.

"Is the Imperial Concubine awake? Why did I hear the sound of retching?"

"I'm afraid you heard it wrongly, the queen is sleeping soundly, why is she retching?"

"Oh, really?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dry heaving sound from inside became more frequent. Chenxiang looked at Shanhu's pale face and walked up to her and asked.

"Isn't the Imperial Concubine pregnant?"
