Chapter 114 Locking Orchid Branches

Extra: What if we reunited

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by. Unknowingly, Jiang Wenyue is already five months pregnant.

In the past few months, she has received unparalleled care and love from Yun Chi. As long as she is not dealing with government affairs, Yun Chi will stay with her, think of the name of the child with her, and accompany her to relieve her boredom, just like the most considerate husband in the world.

This aroused dissatisfaction among a group of beautiful ladies in the Chuxiu Palace. Surprisingly, Zhu Mingyue, who was originally the most arrogant and domineering, became much more docile after experiencing the downfall of her father.

Occasionally, when she met Jiang Wenyue in the Royal Garden, she would take the initiative to kneel down and bow down to Jiang Wenyue. Jiang Wenyue didn't dare to move even if she wasn't allowed to do so, and her body was trembling slightly.

Jiang Wenyue understands Zhu Mingyue's thoughts. Now Zhu Mingyue is just a loner. She survived because of her status as a beautiful girl. Otherwise, she would have been exiled like her brother. How could she dare to be as domineering as before?

.

Seeing her groveling, Jiang Wenyue didn't make things too difficult for her, but she didn't have any good impressions of Zhu Mingyue either. She just said a few words coldly and walked away, which made Zhu Mingyue feel uneasy for several days.

Yun Chi also vaguely heard that a group of beautiful ladies from the Chuxiu Palace were complaining about her doting on Jiang Wenyue and only going to Jiang Wenyue's palace every day.

The beautiful ladies were all young, and if Yun Chi did not favor them, they would be no different from living widows. Yun Chi realized that these beautiful ladies could not be dealt with.

Therefore, Yun Chi ordered an investigation and decided how to deal with these beautiful girls according to the situation. If they were to behave themselves, they would reward them with something and send them back to the palace to get married freely.

There were complaints in private. Jiang Wenyue had been gossiped about in the past, so he was given a warning before being released from the palace.

As for Zhu Mingyue, her mansion was confiscated and she no longer has a home.

Yun Chi recalled Zhu Mingyue's previous evil deeds and wanted to help Jiang Wenyue, so he ordered Zhu Mingyue to be sent to the Jiaofang Division.

When Zhu Mingyue saw other beautiful ladies leaving the palace and returning home, she herself was sent to the Jiaofang Department, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

This must be Jiang Wenyue's revenge on her. The palace could not tolerate her, and seeing that she had no backing to support her, he sent her directly to that place just to humiliate her.

In shock and shock, Zhu Mingyue went crazy. She ran around the Chuxiu Palace with her hair disheveled and disheveled clothes all day long. Several father-in-laws could not catch her.

The father-in-law told Yun Chi and Jiang Wenyue about the situation. Only then did Jiang Wenyue find out about the matter, and for the first time, she begged Yun Chi for mercy.

"Forget it, Your Majesty. The past was before and the present is now. Aren't we doing well now? Since she has gone crazy and her family is ruined, it can be regarded as punishment, so let's leave her in Chuxiu Palace."

"How can that be done? I have said before that I can only have you as a queen. The draft is just ridiculous. Besides, Zhu Mingyue has done many evil things. She may be just pretending to be like this now, or else she will be beaten to death with a stick."

"This is inappropriate." Jiang Wenyue frowned when she heard that someone was going to kill people.

"He has no home. If he is kicked out of the palace like this, it will be the same as being killed. It is better to let her stay in the palace."

Jiang Wenyue touched her slightly pregnant belly and said, "Try not to kill anyone. Your Majesty treats it as a blessing for the child in your belly. I am pregnant with a child now and I don't want to see those who kill."

When it came to children, Yun Chi's eyes softened a bit: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

In this way, Yun Chi ordered to deprive Zhu Mingyue of Xiu Nu's status and demote her to a commoner. He also sealed the Chu Xiu Palace and painted the ground as a prison.

Although Zhu Mingyue still lives in Chuxiu Palace, she is treated the same as the deposed concubines before, barely hanging on to her life, and her life is very bleak.

Yun Chi was still discussing state affairs with the ministers, while Jiang Wenyue was bored and feeding koi in front of a pond, enjoying the cool breeze.

The maid on the side came over: "Queen, Mrs. Chu is here."

Jiang Wenyue raised her head, and now Zhou Ling'er had an additional title, that was Mrs. Chu.

I heard that Zhou Ling'er and Chu Xiu are in a very good relationship now, and they are very affectionate and inseparable. I think it won't be long before good news comes out.

"Why is she free today? Please invite her in."

A few months ago, Zhou Ling'er learned that Chu Xiu was worried about her safety and fell ill. She stayed in the house every day to take care of Chu Xiu's health. After Chu Xiu got better, she stayed with Chu Xiu every day. She envied others, but she didn't

Why do you want to go to the palace to find Jiang Wenyue again?

It was understandable that Jiang Wenyue was a newlywed, so she didn't bother the two of them.

Now, Zhou Ling'er is here.

A palace maid led Zhou Ling'er over. Zhou Ling'er had her hair tied up in a woman's bun and a golden walking stick on her head. She swayed as she walked with graceful posture.

Looking at Zhou Ling'er's rosy and plump complexion, she knew that her life was going well and she was really happy for her.

"A common woman meets the Queen."

Zhou Ling'er wanted to kneel down and salute, but Jiang Wenyue grabbed her and said, "Why are you so polite to me? Come on, sit down."

Jiang Wenyue looked at Zhou Ling'er carefully: "You seem to be more mellow than before. Chu Xiu must be treating you very well."

Zhou Ling'er had a smile on her lips: "He is very good, but I came to see you today for other reasons."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Wenyue picked up the rose water on the table and took a sip.

"I want to ask the Queen to go to the temple. I heard that the scenery there is very picturesque now."

Jiang Wenyue was a little helpless: "It's not like you don't know. Recently, the emperor has been worried about this and that. He treats me as if I'm made of glass. He's afraid of being bumped or falling. If I want to leave the palace at this juncture, I'll have to pay a lot of money.

Work hard."

"But if your Majesty doesn't accompany me, there will really be no one to accompany me."

Of course, Zhou Ling'er's words were just a joke: "That thing happened last time and I didn't even go there. Don't you want to go and burn incense?"

"Uh...I heard that burning incense and praying in that temple is the most effective. Speaking of which, Chu Xiu and I have been married for a while. He is the only one in Chu Xiu's family. I don't know when there will be news."

Zhou Linger's voice became softer and softer as she spoke.

After Jiang Wenyue heard Qu Zhiyin, she understood the real reason why Zhou Ling'er suddenly proposed to burn incense and worship Buddha, so she agreed: "That's fine."

Jiang Wenyue's guard of honor was placed outside the palace, and Zhou Ling'er accompanied him. The journey was peaceful, but there were many onlookers crowded on both sides of the road, talking non-stop.

"Isn't this a guard of honor for the Queen?"

"Other than our queen, who else can put up such a guard of honor? It seems like you are going to the temple."

"It's such an honor to have the opportunity to meet the Queen's Empress Feng Yi when traveling... Hey, don't be crowded."

When Zhou Ling'er heard the comments outside, she was more and more inclined to praise Jiang Wenyue, and joked with Jiang Wenyue: "Don't mention it, you are now famous far and wide, and people are praising you. Moreover, the apprentices in the medical clinic are no longer limited to boys, but also

There are many girls starting to study medicine following your example."

"Queen, you have changed the atmosphere of a country."

Jiang Wenyue is very satisfied with this change: "Women can also learn a skill, and they don't have to learn female craftsmanship in the boudoir embroidery room. This is good."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the temple.

The temple received the news early in the morning, and the abbot and his people greeted Jiang Wenyue at the door. Jiang Wenyue got off the carriage, and the abbot and the people in the temple saluted Jiang Wenyue.

Jiang Wenyue spoke softly: "Abbott, you don't have to be polite."

"Please come in with me."

The abbot made a gesture of invitation.

Jiang Wenyue and Zhou Linger went inside together. After offering incense, Jiang Wenyue talked with the abbot in the Zen room, and the more they talked, the more harmonious they became.

Before leaving, the abbot also gave Jiang Wenyue a bunch of consecrated relics, saying that he would wear them on his body first, and then put them on the child when he was born to ensure the child's safety.

After all, it was the abbot's good intentions that made Jiang Wenyue take the relic and return to the palace with Zhou Linger.

Perhaps after burning the incense, the Buddha was really blessing me. Another month later, good news came from Zhou Ling'er.

At the same time, Jiang Hanyu has been living alone in the Xiao family for a long time, and has also found a good match of her own.

Jiang Wenyue also inspected Jiang Hanyu and found that he was very reliable. Although he didn't have any extraordinary abilities, he was honest and responsible and seemed to be someone he could be entrusted to.

Only Lu Zhan and Yun Lao's marriage has not yet been settled. Yun Chi heard that Mr. Zuo's daughter accidentally met Yun Lao in the palace who came to Jiang Wenyue. The girl blushed when she saw Yun Lao.

Yun Chi learned that Miss Zuo was of good character and wanted to marry Yun Lao, but Yun Lao firmly refused.

As for Lu Zhan, he didn't mention a word about his life-long events, only that he was not in a hurry, but everyone knew what he was waiting for.

In the blink of an eye, more than four months have passed.

On this day, Jiang Wenyue had just had breakfast when she felt pain in her lower abdomen.

She knew she was about to give birth, so she quickly asked the palace maid to call Dr. Wenpo to prepare for the delivery.

It turned out that Yun Chi was in the early morning meeting to discuss water conservancy projects with the officials. Eunuch Jiang came outside the palace and wanted to go in to inform Yun Chi but he didn't dare to go in, so he had to wait outside for a while.

Finally, the eunuch inside couldn't bear it anymore and sent a message for Eunuch Jiang: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Jiang has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."

Yun Chi whispered: "Let him come in."

Eunuch Jiang walked into the palace, approached Yun Chi and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is about to give birth."

"What!"

Yun Chi's voice was so loud that the ministers below who were discussing the new water conservancy plan all looked at Yun Chi.

Yun Chi calmed down, quickly ended the topic, went to court, and rushed to Jiang Wenyue Palace.

The palace maids were very busy coming in and out. Yun Chi asked a palace man who passed by and saluted him: "How is the queen?"

"Back to the emperor, I felt a stomachache after having breakfast this morning. I informed the imperial doctor that I was going to give birth. The imperial doctor is currently inside, and the midwife is also delivering the baby."

"Your Majesty, why don't you find a place to sit and I'll serve you a cup of tea while you wait."

"What time is it? Do you want to drink tea?"

Yun Chi was pacing around anxiously outside. Eunuch Jiang had no choice but to wait aside with the dust in his hand, not daring to say anything more.
