Xie Sheng glared fiercely at the two people's tightly clasped hands.
The two of them let go of each other's hands as they bowed to him.
After bowing to him, the two stood side by side again, their hands naturally clasped together.
Xie Sheng gritted his teeth in hatred.
He glared at Xie Xuan, gritting his teeth as he said, "Xie Xuan, where were you last night? Where did you go last night?"
Xie Xuan glanced at Xie Sheng and slowly said, "Your Highness, that's my private matter. It has nothing to do with you, right? Where I go is my own business. Please mind your own business!"
Xie Sheng was furious upon hearing this, but he couldn't say anything more.
Cui Yuetuan smiled at Yun Chu and winked.
Yun Chu lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
Cui Yuetuan looked at Xie Sheng, her expression returning to its original coldness, and said, "Your Highness, we should go and pay our respects to His Majesty!"
Xie Sheng looked at Yun Chuwei, but found that Yun Chuwei didn't look at him at all.
His face darkened slightly, and in the end, he could only turn and leave.
Cui Yuetuan smiled at Yun Chu before leaving.
After watching the two leave, Xie Xuan whispered to Yun Chuwei, "Weiwei, I always feel that you and the Crown Princess have some kind of secret!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "There are no secrets to hide! Let's go, let's leave the palace!"
Xie Xuan gripped Yun Chuwei's hand tightly, his expression serious: "Okay!"
-
Xie Xuan ultimately delayed setting off for several days.
For the past few days, he has been staying by her side.
After seeing Xie Xuan off, Yun Chuwei went to find her grandmother first.
The old lady was always very happy to see her.
She pulled Yun Chuwei down to sit and asked, "Have you seen Xie Xuan off?"
Yun Chuwei nodded.
The old lady held Yun Chuwei's hand in one hand and gently patted the back of Yun Chuwei's hand with the other.
She spoke gently, "Once His Highness Prince Xuan retrieves the betrothal papers, my Weiwei will be getting married! I'm really going to miss her!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "Grandmother, there's no rush. I'll have my master keep Xie Xuan here for a while longer."
The old lady then realized what was going on.
She looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "What are your plans?"
Yun Chuwei said gently, "It's not that I have any plans, but rather that Your Majesty has any plans!"
The old lady was even more confused.
Why did His Majesty get involved in this matter?
Yun Chuwei's expression turned serious. She said, "Grandmother, I know you're planning to do something against the Empress. But whatever you're planning to do, stop now."
Upon hearing this, the old lady asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
With the emperor's health deteriorating and the crown prince's prestige rising, if nothing is done at this time, then that position will surely belong to the crown prince.
The Taoist priest said that Weiwei's body...
Yun Chuwei looked at the old lady with a serious expression: "If Grandmother trusts me, please wait a little while. I will eventually grant your wish!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say!"
-
For a long time afterward, Yun Chuwei routinely traveled between the Marquis's residence and the Star Gazing Platform.
If Emperor Tianqi summoned her, she would go to the palace to meet him and tell him about the results of her stargazing.
This went on for about a month.
On this day, Emperor Tianqi suddenly summoned her urgently.
When she arrived at the Imperial Study, she found that not only Emperor Tianqi and she were there, but also Cui Yuetuan.
Of course, Grandpa Sun Jiasheng was also there.
When Cui Yuetuan saw her, she first smiled, then winked at her.
After she bowed to Emperor Tianqi, she heard a voice from the seat of honor: "The Crown Princess is pregnant. Take a look at her!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
"Your Majesty must be mistaken. Pregnancy requires the presence of an imperial physician, and I am not one of them!"
Emperor Tianqi seemed to roll his eyes, then said, "I know you're not a royal physician, and I can't count on you for things like ensuring a safe and stable pregnancy. Just tell me, is this baby a boy or a girl?"
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, this is a different price..."
Emperor Tianqi: ...
He said to Sun Jiasheng, "Give it to her!"
Sun Jiasheng readily agreed and handed a piece of gold to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei only began casting the divination after she received the gold.
She glanced at the divination result, then at Cui Yuetuan, and said to Emperor Tianqi, "The divination result indicates harmony between Yin and Yang! Auspiciousness arises from the dragon and phoenix!"
"You mean, is the Crown Princess pregnant with twins? Or a boy and a girl?" Emperor Tianqi asked with some surprise.
Yun Chuwei nodded: "It seems that's true at the moment."
Emperor Tianqi seemed very pleased: "Good, good, Sun Jiasheng, give her another one!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiasheng gave Yun Chuwei another piece of gold.
After accepting the reward, Yun Chuwei respectfully said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
-
After leaving the Imperial Study, Yun Chuwei and Cui Yuetuan walked side by side toward the East Palace.
The two remained silent the entire way until they saw the passageway and palace gates leading to the East Palace. Only then did Cui Yuetuan speak, saying, "I don't understand what His Majesty is trying to do!"
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "His Majesty's actions are commendable; he must have his reasons. However, judging from His Majesty's attitude towards you, what he has done is at least not harmful to you!"
"It won't harm His Majesty's grandson, will it?" Cui Yuetuan smiled. "After His Majesty found out I was pregnant, he specially assigned me a nanny and two palace maids, and also sent a team of imperial guards to protect me, which shows how much he values me."
Yun Chuwei nodded: "Indeed. What you should do now is take good care of your pregnancy! I've heard that childbirth is an extremely dangerous thing. It's best to be careful in everything!"
“Of course!” Cui Yuetuan said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
She didn't know what His Majesty wanted to do, but the child in her womb was her talisman.
She will protect them well, and of course, she will also protect herself well.
Xie Sheng is out of the question; she can only gain more power by obeying His Majesty.
As the two were talking, they arrived at the gate of the East Palace.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Go!"
Cui Yuetuan thought for a moment and said, "That idiot Crown Prince's brain is getting worse and worse lately. Be careful when you see him. Of course, try to avoid seeing him if you can, he'll disgust you!"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Cui Yuetuan naturally knew that Yun Chuwei could handle anything.
She smiled, waved slightly to Yun Chuwei, and turned to enter the East Palace.
Just as Yun Chuwei was about to leave, she was stopped by Xie Sheng, who had rushed over.
"Chuwei, you've come to the East Palace to find me? Why didn't you just come in? I instructed everyone in the East Palace that as long as you come, they will take you directly to me!" Xie Sheng looked at Yun Chuwei and said affectionately.
