Du Qianyu's hands tightly twisted the Yang Fei-colored Ruyi silk ribbon hanging on the silver belt, her knuckles turned slightly white, and she lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Xuan glanced at her hatefully, caressed her abdomen, and said coquettishly to Zhu Youtang: "Your Highness, you haven't been to Mingluan Pavilion for a long time. My concubine and the baby in her belly miss you very much."

Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "I have been neglected by my concubine because of the busy government affairs. I will spend more time with you when I have some free time."

Su Xuan was greatly annoyed. Does it mean that you are busy with government affairs when you accompany that bitch Du Qianyu every day? He still maintained a gentle smile on his face: "Your Highness is true to his words, and you are not allowed to make me happy."

Zhu Youtang nodded with a smile and said, "I have prepared a birthday gift. Do you like it?" After saying that, he looked at Dequan. Dequan understood and immediately handed Su a small and exquisite ebony gold brocade box. Choose Bai Ling to serve you.

When Su Xuan opened the brocade box, she saw a pair of drop-shaped emerald earrings held on a bright red velvet cloth. The emerald had excellent water quality and was as transparent and clear as two crystal teardrops. She couldn't put it down and immediately ordered Bai Ling to put it on for her.

Zhu Youtang suddenly extended his hand back, and De Quan hurriedly presented a rectangular rosewood and gold brocade box. When he opened the lid of the box, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. A string of crystal clear jade necklaces lay quietly in the box. At the bottom, it looks like a pool of clear water flashing with light.

Su Xuan's breath was suffocated, and he stared at the jade necklace intently. He was about to ask Zhu Youtang for it in a coquettish way, but saw him looking at Du Xuan with a smile and asking softly: "Do you like it?" He couldn't help but feel angry. , it was actually given to this bitch!!! Today is her birthday!!!

Du Qianyu was taken aback, with a very complicated look on his face, as if he was flattered but also frightened. He said calmly: "Your Highness, this jade necklace is rare in the world and priceless. If I wear it, I will lose my good fortune. You should give it to the prince." Concubine."

"What are you talking about? You are a woman of this palace, and you have great blessings. How can you lose your blessings?" Zhu Youtang took the jade necklace from the brocade box, stood up, walked to her, and put it on for her personally. , praised, "It's really beautiful."

Su Xuanshi's eyes were dancing with two clusters of anger, and her lungs were almost exploding with anger. The pair of drop-shaped emerald earrings swayed slightly, tapping her chin up and down, burning her like a hot iron, if it hadn't been in the way In Zhu Youtang's court, she had already smashed the pair of earrings.

"Your Highness, I cannot have this emerald necklace." Du Qianyu's face was pale, and the jade necklace as clear as spring water reflected a pale green on her face. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and she reached out to take off the necklace from her neck. , Unexpectedly, in panic, he knocked over the tea cup in front of the case, and the green tea splashed all over Zhu Youtang.

Du Qianyu was shocked and turned pale. She quickly wiped the tea stains on his robe with a silk handkerchief and said in panic: "Your Highness, I didn't do this on purpose."

Zhu Youtang smiled slightly and said in an extremely gentle tone: "It's just a piece of clothing, why are you panicking?"

Zhang Hua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have prepared some of your robes in the inner room. You'd better go in and change into something clean."

Zhu Youtang nodded, took Du Qianyu's hand and said softly: "Please, dear concubine, come with me to change clothes."

Du Qianyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but her slim waist suddenly tightened. Zhu Youtang had already put his arms around her, and walked straight into the inner room regardless of everyone's surprised looks. As soon as he stepped through the door, Zhu Youtang immediately let her go coldly. With a gloomy face and a bit of disgust in his brows, he took off his outer robe and took a moon-white embroidered gold-patterned python robe from the Huanghuali Lotus hanger and put it on.

Du Qianyu's eyes were filled with glistening tears. She looked at him with hatred and resentment and asked angrily: "What did I do wrong that Your Highness wants to torture me like this?"

Zhu Youtang's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "I have given you everything you want, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Du Qianyu laughed miserably, tears rolled down her face, and asked unwillingly: "Since Your Highness wants my concubine to die, you should let her die clearly."

Zhu Youtang said expressionlessly: "If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Du Qianyu looked at him in despair, and asked heartbrokenly: "I treat you sincerely, why does Your Highness have to trample on my concubine like this?"

"I know very well how sincere and calculating you are towards me."

"Which woman in Ciqing Palace is not plotting against His Highness? Hasn't the Crown Princess plotted against you? She is hypocritical and lies to you. Doesn't she also want to get your favor? What the concubine and she want is His Highness's favor. .But why is Your Highness so unfeeling toward me?"

Zhu Youtang stared at her coldly: "If the Crown Princess wants to scheme against me, I will be happy to do so!"

A thought flashed through Du Qianyu's mind, and her expression became miserable: "It turns out to be her!!!"

Zhu Youtang stopped talking and carried her back to the front hall. His face was extremely gentle, completely different from just now. He also arranged Du Qianyu's hair bun very considerately and said to everyone: "I still have some memorials to make." Review and go first, you can have fun."

Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Best farewell to Your Highness."

Zhu Youtang glanced at Zhang Hua, turned around and strode away.

Du Qianyu sat back down silently, with his head lowered, his eyes full of resentment and despair, holding back tears. Su Xuan glanced at her, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………

Amidst the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, the boat sailed forward slowly.

After the song was over, the actor hugged the pipa and bowed before leaving. Su Xuan took a sip of wine and said politely: "Crown Princess, today is my concubine's time, and I would like to ask for a favor from you."

Zhang Hua was a little surprised. She didn't know why she became so respectful and polite. She smiled and asked, "What kind of grace?"

"I want to release the carp in the back cabin." Su Xuan stroked his slightly bulging belly and said softly, "It can be regarded as a meritorious deed for the unborn child. I ask the Buddha to bless him to be born safely."

Zhang Hua nodded: "This is a great idea." Then someone carried a whole basket of carp onto the boat's armor.

Attendant Su Xuan stretched out his fingers and flicked the folding fan made of gold and gold sandalwood, and then said: "Please the Crown Princess and the sisters accompany the concubine in her release and pray together for the child in her womb."

Zhang Hua smiled and nodded: "Of course it is." She stood up and just took two steps, when her body suddenly shook violently and she almost fell down.

Lu Qiao hurriedly supported her and asked with a worried look: "Princess, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Hua stroked his chest and frowned: "I feel weak now, my chest feels tight, and I feel a little nauseous. Maybe I ate something bad."

Su Xuanshi's face changed slightly and he looked at her thoughtfully. Du Qianyu's face was full of anxiety and he said with concern: "Princess, your face looks very bad. You'd better ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look." Feng Shunv immediately nodded in agreement. : "Quickly send the message to the imperial doctor." The little eunuch rushed out of the cabin door early, put down the boat, and rowed quickly to the shore to rush to the imperial hospital.

Xu Qingru looked at Zhang Hua worriedly: "Eating bad things can be big or small. How do you feel now??"

Zhang Hua frowned, as if enduring great pain, and said feebly: "I feel very uncomfortable now." Then he apologized to Su Xuan, "It seems that I can't go out with you to release animals!"

Su Xuan's face showed a hint of disappointment and he said hurriedly: "The Crown Princess is in critical condition."

Lu Qiao said worriedly: "This place is a bit far from the shore. It will take some time for the imperial doctor to get here. Princess, can you bear it?"

Zhang Hua nodded weakly: "It doesn't matter.

Du Qianyu stepped forward, supported her and said, "I'll help you go in and lie down for a while."

Zhang Hua withdrew her hand without leaving a trace and said calmly: "Lu Qiao can just accompany me. You all accompany Su Xuan to release animals and pray for blessings. This is a great merit. The Queen Mother and Her Highness will be happy if they know about it."

Du Qianyu's eyes flashed with sadness, he looked at her with a complicated expression, and silently followed Su Xuanshi and others to the ship's armor.

Lu Qiao helped Zhang Hua walk to the inner room and asked in a low voice: "Princess, do you think there is something weird about Su Xuan?"

Zhang Hua leaned lazily on the beauty's couch and said with a smile: "She was the one who suggested coming to Taiye Pool to play, and she said she wanted to release animals to pray for blessings. She is pregnant now, and her fetus is unstable. Regardless of whether there is something weird or not, we still have to be careful.

These are the best."

Lu Qiao smiled and said: "The Crown Princess is extremely worried. Su Xuan's servants are full of tricks, so we must be on guard against them."

Zhang Hua yawned, her face was quite tired, and her eyes were a faint circle of black, which even makeup couldn't cover. She rubbed her somewhat groggy head and said lazily: "I'll catch up on some sleep first. I'll see you if I have anything else to do.

Wake me up." Zhu Youtang has been pestering her every night in the past few days, and it has become more and more ridiculous, often tossing her to the point of

Jin Mingjin retreated her troops at dawn, which made her late to greet the Queen Mother several times. Well, is this the legendary method of gathering yin and replenishing yang? Why is Zhu Youtang radiant and energetic every day, but she is languid and depressed?

The way he looks like when he wakes up. If he continues like this, will he eat him up to the point where not even the dregs are left?

Lu Qiao looked at her distressedly, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "When the water is full, it will be prosperous, and when the moon is full, it will be depleted. If you are favored too much, it may not be a blessing."

Zhang Hua's heart was filled with tears, which was certainly not a blessing. Zhu Youtang looked gentle and elegant, but when she got into bed, she seemed like a completely different person. Every time she looked like she wanted to swallow her skin and bones.

Lu Qiao whispered: "Princess, you can no longer allow His Highness to behave like this."

Zhang Hua was so sleepy that she let out a random "hmm". The gentle wind carried a bit of the fragrance of lotus leaves and blew in. A strand of hair on her temples looked like a baby's little hand caressing her cheek. She felt very comfortable and closed her eyes.

, and soon fell into sleep.

Lu Qiao took a brocade quilt and covered her, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and exited quietly.

The water gurgled outside the window, as if there was a drizzle of rain. The boat was swaying leisurely, and the people on the couch were having a sweet dream. Suddenly there was a loud "gudong" sound, as if something heavy had fallen into the water, and then a woman's scream sounded.
