Chapter 185 The End of the Fight for Favor is the Child
Emperor Yuan Yong expressed his concern, and Xu Lanshan had to respond. She had to put aside the countless thoughts circling in her mind for the time being.
She smiled softly and looked at him lovingly, three parts shy, three parts affectionate, and four parts happy: "I know that the emperor treats me the best!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed, pulled her into his arms and kissed her: "If I can't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
"Well, I am very happy!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed and could not help but kiss her again. "Once Dong Zhi presents the facts of the case, it will be closed. This time, it is also thanks to Lan'er. If Lan'er had not reminded me that Fu's condition was not quite right, I would not have thought about it in this way..."
After all, Emperor Yuan Yong knew the Fu family quite well.
Fu was spoiled, overbearing and tyrannical. She hated Xu Lanshan and never said anything nice about her. She was always thinking about killing Xu Lanshan and even plotted a lot. This was all normal.
However, as for brazenly running to Lianyi Palace to assassinate someone, no matter how stupid she was, she would never do such a thing!
But if someone plots against you, it’s hard to say what will happen.
Xu Lanshan: "I just felt it was strange at the time, and naturally I would not hide it from the emperor. Who knew that it would turn out to be the right thing..."
"I don't think it was a lucky coincidence," Emperor Yuan Yong said, holding her in his arms and smiling, "My dear Lan'er, you do have some good fortune."
Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Lan'er is pregnant, so don't listen to these dirty things!" Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes fell on her lower abdomen, becoming more gentle and affectionate. His palm gently fell on Xu Lanshan's lower abdomen.
If it were before, Xu Lanshan’s heart would be filled with tenderness, joy, and overflowing with sweetness and happiness.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but think of Du Qingzhi.
Du Qingzhi, Du Qingzhi... Before she met this woman, she probably couldn't help but miss her. Hopefully, she'll be able to calm down after seeing her.
Xu Lanshan couldn't help but think that the emperor had not been so good to her in the past. Now he is like this, maybe it is all for the sake of the child in her belly?
In this palace, the end of the fight for favor is the children!
It is really a wise saying.
Whether it is active or passive, in the end it is inevitable that the mother will be honored by her son.
She suddenly didn't want Emperor Yuan Yong to touch her belly anymore, so she gently pushed his hand away and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please be careful. The child is still young, don't hurt him..."
Emperor Yuan Yong was at a loss for words: "Lan'er, you worry too much. How could I be so careless? This is my child after all."
He didn't touch it again.
After sitting for a while, Emperor Yuan Yong had other things to do, so he left.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come tonight. Please come and have dinner with Lan'er tomorrow. If Lan'er wants to eat something, please send someone to the imperial kitchen to let her know."
"Yes, I thank the emperor for his grace!"
"I'm leaving first."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
After seeing off Emperor Yuan Yong, Xu Lanshan was distracted for a while and still felt a little depressed.
Yuchan and Nanny An looked at each other, wanting to comfort her but not knowing how.
Fortunately, Xu Lanshan recovered on her own. She glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "As for Miss Du's affairs, you should pretend you know nothing about it. Don't tell anyone a single word. Understand?"
"Yes, my lady!"
"Remember, keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, don't blame me for being cold-hearted."
"yes......"
If Concubine Yu knew about it, I'm afraid many people in the palace knew about it, such as the Empress and Concubine Shu, but no one mentioned a word to outsiders, which shows that they all knew that this matter should not be mentioned casually.
Unless the emperor announces it publicly, whoever mentions it will be in trouble!
This is obvious.
That was not someone else, that was the innocent first love of youth, the childhood sweetheart, the white moonlight.
No wonder the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager is so awkward. I’m afraid Du Qingzhi may be one of the reasons.
In the past, the emperor was young and could not resist the empress dowager's pressure on the righteousness, forcing a pair of lovers to separate. The emperor was helpless at the time because of his temper, but how could he not remember it in his heart?
Being a bit bolder, Xu Lanshan even thought that the matter of Du Qingzhi returning to Beijing might have been brought up and negotiated by the emperor himself.
Never mind, it's not important to her.
What is more important is to prepare for the future, maintain your position, and enjoy wealth and glory. This is the most important thing.
What is heart-throb and what is love? Please refer to Fu’s previous experience, dear!
"Yuchan, please step aside. I have something to say to Madam An."
Xu Lanshan suppressed the slight resentment in her heart and gave the order.
"Yes, my lady."
After Yuchan left, Xu Lanshan asked Nanny An, "Madam, you've been in the palace for a long time. Have you ever met Du Qingzhi?"
Nanny An nodded gently and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen you several times."
"Oh? What kind of person is Miss Du?"
Nanny An thought for a moment and smiled, "At the time, I was just a minor official in the Shang Palace Bureau. I didn't see my master often, and even when I did, I didn't dare raise my head. Many years have passed, and I don't remember much about her. But I do remember that Miss Du wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was gentle and kind, with a temperament as elegant as an orchid. She spoke softly and had an excellent reputation in the palace."
Xu Lanshan nodded. A woman like this is indeed very suitable to be a first love.
No wonder the emperor likes it.
"Does Mammy know anything about her?"
Nanny An thought hard, but ultimately shook her head. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I really don't know... How about I ask my former sisters?"
"No need!" Xu Lanshan smiled. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. It doesn't matter whether you know or not."
It would be inappropriate to deliberately inquire about it and let others know.
When people came, she would naturally know.
Nanny An hesitated to speak, finally saying, "The Emperor treats you differently than he treats others. You don't have to worry. Regardless of how true Concubine Yu's words are, even if they are true, after all these years, even if Miss Du returns, the Emperor won't treat you badly, even if he still remembers their old friendship! Besides, you're still pregnant. Once the child is born, the Emperor will naturally value you even more."
Xu Lanshan smiled.
Look, it’s still a baby!
"You're right. I'm just curious. After all..."
After all, childhood sweethearts sound like a lot of stories and make people want to find out more.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Nanny An smiled again and said, "Since Your Majesty has doubts, why don't you just ask the Emperor? If you ask, the Emperor will definitely tell you..."
Nanny An could see it clearly, even clearer than Xu Lanshan herself.
Everyone needs to worry about Miss Du returning to the palace, and there is absolutely no need for her master to worry.
