"Ning'er, I want to ask you, what kind of sign did your mother-in-law ask for in the temple? What did she ask you to pray for for me?" There was a hint of excitement in the queen's eyes. [ ]

"I'm reporting to you, my mother-in-law, that the signed document asks for the thing that I want most in my heart!" In fact, even Wei Ning'er herself didn't know what it meant.

In fact, the words of signing and praying for blessings were just excuses. She was just following her mother's idea to avoid the spotlight for the time being.

However, it is true that Huang asked for a fortune for the queen.

"Ning'er, what I have been longing for day and night seems to have come true!" The queen said tremblingly, holding Wei Ning'er's hand.

Wei Ning'er was stunned for a moment after hearing this. What is the thing that the Queen wants most? Could it be...

"Mother, are you pregnant?" Wei Ning'er asked tentatively.

The queen nodded gently and said with a smile: "Although I have not called an imperial doctor to diagnose my pulse, it is most likely true."

"That's great, Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er held the Queen's hand and said excitedly.

"Ning'er..." The queen's eyes flashed with tears and she couldn't help but be happy.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call the imperial doctor to take a look, so that you can make sure earlier." After calming down slightly, Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"You silly girl, even if you are really pregnant, it will only last for a month. It will be known to everyone early, and the child in my belly will also become a target of public criticism. I can hide it as long as I can!" In order to

To protect the child in her belly, the queen will not let anyone in the palace know the news now.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "That's what the empress said."

The queen patted her hand gently and said with a smile: "Ning'er, you have worked hard these days. Since I am pregnant, you don't have to pray anymore. Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight."

But Wei Ning'er shook her head: "Madam, everyone knows that I pray for you. If you give up suddenly at this time, it will inevitably make people suspicious. Madam, don't worry, I am not hard at all."

When the Queen heard this, she nodded slightly and sighed: "You child, I know that you are doing this for my own good. A few days ago, when I saw that the emperor was so kind to you, I was quite conflicted.

I have been with the emperor for many years, and I have never seen him care so much about anyone. Ning'er, I and the emperor are a young couple. They have been together for many years, but time flies by and beauty grows old. I am no longer what I used to be. What's more, I

No matter how good it is, the emperor will get tired of it one day. Even if the emperor is consistent with me, he will inevitably favor other concubines. These days, I have thought very clearly that you are always better than others. In the future, you

There is no need to worry about me anymore, just serve the emperor well!"

"Empress, concubine..."

The queen interrupted her and said in a deep voice: "Ning'er, the emperor is very kind to you. A few days ago, the emperor also decreed to confer your mother-in-law as a third-grade lady. This is a great favor. It shows that the emperor treats you very well.

You are extraordinary. If it were anyone else who said those words in front of the emperor that day, I would probably be reprimanded and accused. Not only will the emperor not blame you, but he will also make you a mother-in-law, so you can cherish your blessings."

When Wei Ning'er heard this, her heart trembled. The emperor actually gave E Niang a reward for being a third-grade lady. From now on, E Niang would never be looked down upon by others again.

Seeing that Wei Ning'er was in a daze, the Queen immediately said: "Ning'er, I am pregnant and will not be able to serve the Emperor for a long time. Concubine Chun is pregnant and cannot cause much trouble. You must be careful of Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia.

Concubine."

"Don't worry, my concubine, I will definitely be careful." By now, the queen had completely untied the knot in her heart, and Wei Ning'er was relieved.

After seeing off the queen, Wei Ning'er felt calmer than ever before, and the gloom of the past few days was swept away.

Five days before the date of July 7749, the emperor suddenly came to the small Buddhist hall. The emperor really wanted to come in. Who could stop him?

"Your Majesty, why are you here again!" Wei Ning'er felt helpless and still knelt on the futon without getting up.

"Ning'er!" The emperor helped her up and said with a smile: "Wu Shulai, please quickly bring over what I have prepared for your concubine!"

"Yes!" Wu Shulai immediately came forward.

"What is this?" Wei Ning'er looked at the emperor and smiled.

The emperor smiled and said nothing. At his instruction, Wei Ning'er lifted the cloth above, with a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Your Majesty, this is... you want to leave the palace!"

Only then did Wei Ning'er realize that the emperor was wearing an ordinary flag suit, and what Wu Shulai presented to her was also a water-pink flag suit. It was simple and elegant, and at first glance it was not the color and style of the palace.

"Go and change it quickly, Bingruo, give your mistress a hairstyle outside the palace!" The emperor put the clothes in Wei Ning'er's arms and urged her to change them.

"Your Majesty, are you going to take this concubine out of the palace?" Wei Ning'er couldn't believe it.

"Well, we are going to the Rehe Palace in a few days. I will take you to leave in advance. There was a flood in Zhili a few days ago, so I just happened to stop by and have a look." The emperor said this with a solemn look on his face.

"Your Majesty, if your prayers are not fulfilled, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away!" To be fair, Wei Ning'er naturally wanted to get out.

"The queen asked you to come with me." The emperor smiled.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she nodded slightly. For some reason, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. It turned out that the emperor did not want her to go.

After everything was packed, Wei Ning'er walked out of the dormitory with the bundle Bingruo had prepared for her.

"Bring two little maids here so that they can serve you!" the emperor said with a smile.

"Bingruo, Qingyan, come with me!" Wei Ning'er turned around and ordered calmly.

"Yes, little master!" The two little girls were naturally overjoyed to be able to leave the palace, and immediately went to pack their luggage.

"Unhappy?" After getting on the carriage, the emperor asked when he saw Wei Ning'er sitting quietly beside him without saying a word.

"No, I'm so happy!" Wei Ning'er replied without raising her head.

"We're having trouble again, okay, if you don't tell me, I won't ask you any questions!" The emperor did not get to the bottom of it.

Wei Ning'er raised her head and frowned slightly: "Didn't you tell us not to call you Emperor after we leave the palace? But you always call me me!"

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to say such a thing. Then he smiled and said: "The carriage has not left the Old Summer Palace yet, and I am still the emperor at this time."

"As a great emperor, there are times when your Majesty will be dishonest!" Wei Ning'er deliberately turned her head away and ignored him.

"Tell me, how did I provoke you today?" The emperor leaned over and asked.

"I want to think about it carefully, what will I call you after I leave the palace?" Wei Ning'er didn't answer, she held her chin and thought about it seriously.

"There is no need to think about it, I...I am your husband...according to the rules outside, please call me master!" the emperor said seriously.

Wei Ning'er chuckled: "According to the rules outside, there is a ceremony for marrying a wife, and there is a ceremony for taking a concubine. Well..." When Wei Ning'er said this, infinite desolation suddenly rose in her heart: "I

At most she can be regarded as a common-room girl!"

The emperor paused slightly when he heard the words. He seemed to feel Wei Ning'er's sadness. He hugged her gently and said softly: "Ning'er, I have wronged you. When you return to the palace, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare a formal canonization ceremony for you!"

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she didn't know how to respond. She didn't mean it this way, and the emperor could never give her what she wanted, even if he could.

"Master, it's such a hot day, can you let me go first!" After a long silence, Wei Ning'er was surprised to realize that she was still in the emperor's arms.

"Don't let me go. I took you with me secretly when I finally made up my mind to leave yesterday. Wouldn't it be a shame to let you go now?"

"Your Majesty, you didn't tell the Queen!" Wei Ning'er took a breath after hearing this.

"I am the emperor, and I can take away whoever I want!" The emperor said disapprovingly.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she was so angry that she burst into tears. She had finally settled her differences with the Queen, but now that the emperor had messed with her, everything was in chaos.

"What's wrong?" Hot tears fell on the back of the emperor's hand. He was slightly startled, and then asked worriedly.

"I want to go back to the garden!" Wei Ning'er wiped away the tears on her face, pushed the emperor away coldly, and said in a deep voice.

"Go back to the garden?" The emperor's face changed slightly, and then he also darkened: "Don't be ridiculous!"

"I'm not messing around, it's you, Your Majesty who are messing around. Even if you want to take your concubine out of the palace, you should inform the Queen first!" Wei Ning'er said excitedly.

"I am the emperor!" The emperor looked at Wei Ning'er and became really angry.

"You are the emperor and you can do whatever you want, so what do you mean by my concubine? The emperor probably has never cared about my concubine before he ignored me like this. The emperor knew that the queen was dissatisfied with my concubine a few days ago, so he still did this...

"Wei Ning'er paused for a moment after saying this, then opened the carriage and said loudly: "Go back to the garden!"

When the two guards driving the carriage looked at me and I looked at you, they stopped the carriage and neither dared to move forward nor to go back.

Wu Shulai, Bingruo and others who followed behind were also as silent as a cicada.

Seeing that the guard driving the carriage was unwilling to go back, Wei Ning'er opened the curtain of the carriage and got out.

"Little Master, what are you..." Bingruo saw her getting off the carriage and came up to her anxiously.

Wei Ning'er walked back quickly, ignoring the worried Bingruo and Qingyan beside her.

"Your Majesty..." Wu Shu came to the carriage and called softly.

"Let her go, Wu Shulai, tell her to get down and set off!" The emperor pondered for a moment before giving the order.

"Your Majesty, your concubine has fallen down!" Wu Shulai reported urgently.

Upon hearing this, the emperor suddenly opened the carriage curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

At this time, Wei Ning'er had not gone very far, and she fell, so the emperor caught up with her in a moment.

"What happened?" the emperor asked solemnly.

Wei Ning'er remained silent and signaled Bingruo and Qingyan to help her up, but for some unknown reason, the two girls seemed to have no strength.

The emperor couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked her up and returned to the carriage in a moment.

"Where's the injury?" the emperor asked as he lifted up her trousers. When he saw her swollen and bruised knees, the worry on his face instantly turned into anger.
