night.
Inside the Chang Le Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Feng Anxue stared intently at the white jade bottle in her hand, recalling Qi Zhen's words in her mind, her eyes growing increasingly deep.
At this moment.
A palace maid hurried in and reported, "Princess, Chief Attendant Li requests an audience."
Feng Anxue put down the white jade bottle in her hand, a cold glint in her eyes, and said coldly, "It seems there is news. Let him in."
"yes."
The palace maid turned and left.
Then a man dressed in dark blue clothing strode in and respectfully bowed, saying, "Your subordinate greets the princess."
"No need for formalities, please rise!"
"Thank you, Princess."
"Is there any news?" Feng Anxue asked, her expression and tone revealing the arrogance unique to princesses, which made people feel intimidated.
Li Fu took out something wrapped in cloth from his pocket, opened it, and found it contained the residue of Chinese medicine.
Lu Hua, Feng Anxue's personal maid, stepped forward, took the item, and handed it to Feng Anxue.
Feng Anxue frowned and stared at it, "What is this?"
Li Fu explained, "Qing'er said that this is the medicine that Princess Weiyang has been drinking every day. Moreover, her maid always pays special attention to the dregs after brewing the medicine. She suspects that there is something special about the dregs. In addition, her personal maid pays special attention to her diet, mainly stewing and cooking light dishes. Therefore, she suspects that Princess Weiyang may be... pregnant."
The moment the words were spoken.
Feng Anxue's face suddenly darkened, her deep and sharp gaze fixed on the dregs of the medicine.
After a while.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Fu, "I understand, you may leave now."
"yes."
After Li Fu left.
Lu Hua whispered to Feng Anxue, "Princess, we should ask the imperial physician to come and examine you."
Feng Anxue objected, saying, "Put the medicinal herbs away carefully. Tomorrow, when you leave the palace, go and see Sect Leader Qi."
If it really is a medicinal herb for preventing miscarriage, she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble within the palace. Just in case, it would be safer to have Qi Zhen investigate.
"yes."
Lu Hua carefully wrapped the medicinal herbs and put them into her pocket.
At this moment, a palace maid walked in carrying a tray in both hands.
"Princess, the bird's nest porridge is ready."
Feng Anxue reached out and picked up a spoon to scoop some bird's nest porridge from the porcelain bowl; it was just right.
"Let's go, come with me to the Hall of Diligent Governance."
Inside the Hall of Diligent Governance.
Feng Guche was processing the memorials.
At this moment, a eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anxue requests an audience."
Feng Guche paused in his grip on the brush, looked up at the eunuch, and without asking any further questions, put down the brush and said, "Let her in."
"yes."
Feng Anxue entered the main hall and said, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."
Feng Guche said gently, "Xue'er doesn't need to be so polite in front of Father."
Feng Anxue smiled and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor."
"Why aren't you resting now? What do you want with Father?"
Feng Anxue stepped forward, bypassed the dragon desk, and walked to Feng Guche's side. She raised her hand to massage his shoulders. "Father, you are still working so hard to handle state affairs. I am worried about your health. I can't sleep well because you are so tired. I specially had someone cook bird's nest porridge for you."
Feng Anxue spoke in a coquettish and gentle tone.
Feng Guche listened and smiled kindly, "Xue'er is so worried about Father's health."
“Of course, Father, you are Xue’er’s heaven and earth. Who else can Xue’er worry about if she worries about you?” Feng Anxue said, looking at Lu Hua, “Lu Hua.”
Lu Hua respectfully stepped forward, holding the tray in her hands.
Feng Anxue picked up the bird's nest porridge, "Father, please try some."
"good."
Feng Anxue has been deeply loved by Feng Guche since childhood, and she is very good at pleasing him. Therefore, she can be unrestrained in front of Feng Guche, and he will tolerate her even if she does something wrong.
After finishing his bird's nest porridge, Feng Guche put down the bowl and looked at Feng Anxue with doting eyes. "Xue'er, this bowl of bird's nest porridge today probably wasn't just to reward your father, was it?"
Feng Anxue feigned a wronged expression, "Father, you seem to be saying that Xue'er only cares about you when she needs something from you."
Feng Guche looked up at her, smiled gently, patted her hand, and comforted her, "Father didn't mean that. Tell me, what is it?"
While massaging Feng Guche's shoulders, Feng Anxue said, "I just want to ask Father Emperor to find a reasonable reason to let Cousin Junheng enter the palace. He is clearly in the capital, but I can't see him."
Feng Anxue spoke with a touch of sadness in her voice.
Upon hearing Feng Anxue's words, Feng Guche's expression darkened, and he sighed, "Xue'er, you should be able to sense that Junheng doesn't have you in his heart."
Although it was true, Feng Anxue felt quite distressed upon hearing it. Her hands, which were massaging, paused, and she lowered her eyes, her expression revealing her sadness. "Your subject knows, but your subject truly loves Cousin Junheng. From the first moment I saw him, my heart was filled with him, and I could not see any other man. How could your subject be willing to give up like this?"
“I am also a princess. If I don’t even have the ability to be with the man I love, wouldn’t I become a laughing stock? As long as I can be with him, or even just see him, I will be happy. I have never asked anything of you, Father. The only thing I want is to have more time to talk to Cousin Junheng alone. Perhaps then Cousin Junheng will see my good qualities.”
Feng Anxue spoke excitedly, looking at Feng Guche with pleading eyes.
