Until mid-February, there was no news from the palace about going to Jiangnan. Jingsu gradually became discouraged. Although he felt regretful, he had no choice but to do anything.

On the 18th day of the lunar month, when the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, firecrackers were suddenly set off in the palace. There was a lively commotion for a while, and then news spread in the palace that Concubine Jing of Fuyu Palace was pregnant with a dragon heir.

It was indeed a great joy. The emperor put down his official duties and rushed to Fuu Palace. He ordered Chen Gongming, the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, to personally take care of Concubine Jing's fetus. He also wanted to take the concubine Li who lived in the side hall to another palace, but finally decided to do so.

Concubine Jing dissuaded her, saying that living alone would be lonely, and it would be nice to have concubine Li with her to talk to, so the matter was dropped.

After hearing the news, the queen, who had been living in seclusion for a long time, also arrived at Fuu Palace. She personally rewarded her with a jade Ruyi and ordered her servants to serve her well before leaving.

"Your Majesty, the other palaces have sent congratulatory gifts. Do you want to choose some good ones and send them over?" Jian Yue has always respected etiquette, so she mentioned it to Jingsu.

Jingsu recalled the concubine Jing's demeanor he saw at the Shangyuan Festival banquet that day and admired it. He went to the warehouse to select it and finally selected a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

There is a pond in the Lotus Palace, where pink lotuses are planted. Although they are in full bloom in winter, green leaves of round leaves stand on the surface of the pool, and the lotus blooms, giving it a unique and elegant style.

When Jingsu arrived, Concubine Li was chatting with Concubine Jing in the main hall. Seeing her coming, she seemed very surprised, quickly covered herself up, bowed and left.

Jingsu looked at her back for a while, then turned around and spoke to Concubine Jing, "I heard that Concubine Jing is pregnant, so Jingsu came to congratulate me." He raised his face towards Li Mo, who then took out the brocade containing Ganoderma lucidum.

The box is presented with both hands.

Probably because of her pregnancy, Concubine Jing also had a bit of joy on her face and ordered someone to accept the gift, "Concubine Li, please,"

The two of them took their seats on the couch, and soon someone from the palace served tea to Jingsu. It was dark red in color and was originally a stomach-warming black tea. Some unknown aromatics were added to it, making it extremely rich and mellow in the mouth.

"Jingsu took the liberty of visiting me. I hope that Concubine Jing will not mind you." Jingsu and Concubine Jing were not familiar with each other at first, so he had to say a few polite words when he came unexpectedly.

Concubine Jing looked at her, "If others come to me, I may be too lazy to deal with it. If Concubine Li is willing to come, I will be very happy." Today she was wearing a satin jacket with moon white background and red flowers, and a red flower on her wrist.

The coral bracelet, the unique side-braided hairstyle, and the rouge-red pearls and jade make her look extra happy.

Jingsu gently put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "In this case, Jingsu will come to bother you from time to time. Concubine Jing should not be bored by then."

Concubine Jing just stared at her and sighed for a long time, "To be honest, I never thought that this day would happen." The overwhelming love when she first entered the palace has been polished away by the long cold nights, although it was only two years ago.

When I was in my early teens, I felt so old. I didn't even dare to wear the tender colors I always loved. I always thought that this was the end of my life. Who could have imagined that such a day would come.

Through her, Jingsu seemed to see himself in the near future. He was still young but already old at heart. He couldn't help but be filled with emotions. He didn't want to spoil Concubine Jing's interest, so he lowered his expression and said: "Everything today is based on Concubine Jing."

You are so virtuous and graceful, and to quote what the empress once said to Jingsu, you deserve to be honored today, and when you give birth to a prince one day, you will be the first person in this palace."

Concubine Jing sneered, "So what if you are the first person in the palace? I am not uncommon either."

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Jingsu is alone. It doesn't matter whether he is favored or not. Your Majesty is different. You have him." A slender finger pointed at her flat belly, which was meaningful.

Concubine Jing was also stunned, as if she had been confused for a moment when someone suddenly poured a basin of cold water over her head. She suddenly woke up and touched her abdomen with a complicated expression. Perseverance slowly burst out in her eyes, "You are right, I have a baby."

He is no longer alone."

"As long as Concubine Jing understands."

Concubine Jing was lost in thought while caressing her belly. After a while, she came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Jingsu, "I neglected Concubine Li."

"It's okay." Jingsu responded coolly.

Concubine Jing looked at her again, as if she suddenly remembered something, "I heard that the material the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent you to make the spring shirt is probably rose color."

Jingsu smiled carelessly, lowered his head and glanced at the plain clothes on his body, "Yes, it's hard for them to find such a similar color, and they are not afraid of shining in my eyes."

Concubine Jing burst into laughter, "How can they expect so much? It must be the emperor's wish."

"I think so too." Jingsu looked flat. When he saw her roasting sweet potatoes, he ordered the imperial kitchen to send half a month's supply of sweet potatoes for meals. Now because of the rose clothes, he gave her a dozen sweet potatoes.

Rose-colored material, why did he not let her do so even though he knew she wanted to go to the palace? The emperor's thoughts were indeed unpredictable.

Seeing her languid look, Concubine Jing sighed inwardly and said, "I got a few new pieces of material, and they are quite plain in color. It would be better if you picked two of them and brought them back to the palace."

Jingsu smiled, "I'm in a situation where I have no material to make clothes. How dare I ask for your clothes? If the emperor blames me someday, I can't afford it, so I'd better forget it."

Concubine Jing pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter, no one can say for sure what happens in this palace. It's better to do less than to do more."

"What Concubine Jing said is that if you stay in the palace for a long time, you will inevitably have deep thoughts."

While the two were talking, they heard someone from the palace outside saying anxiously: "Concubine Jing is not free at the moment, please let me go in and say," "Sister Concubine Jing, I am here to congratulate you."

The door curtain opened, and Liu Bin walked in with a smile on her face.

Even without looking back, just by listening to the voice, Jingsu knew who it was, but he didn't expect that she would dare to be so bold in Fuhu Palace. With a smile on her lips, she looked towards the door leisurely and contentedly.

Concubine Liu held a brocade box and said to Yan Yan with a smile, "I heard that Concubine Jing was pregnant, so I came here to congratulate you. This small gift is not respectful, so please accept it."

Concubine Jing raised her face, understood Yun Xi beside her, stepped forward and took the brocade box with both hands, and retreated behind Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing looked calm and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Concubine Liu."

"Where," Liu Bin smiled, and suddenly glanced at Jingsu, who was looking at her with a half-smile. She was stunned, and the smile on her face froze. She paused and smiled again, "It turns out that Concubine Li

I'm here too," he said without seeing her salute.

Jingsu just pretended not to see her and turned around to talk to Concubine Jing, "Concubine Jing's place is full of people today. I don't want to be here anymore, so I'll take my leave first."

Before Concubine Jing could speak, Concubine Liu raised her face and said, "Concubine Li, please go slowly. I won't send you far."

Jingsu glanced at her lightly and smiled, not wanting to argue with her.

It was a coincidence that just as Jingsu walked out of Concubine Jing's bedroom, she heard someone shouting at the door: "The Emperor has arrived -" Chong Mo, wearing a crimson python robe, stepped in and met her face to face.

Jingsu couldn't avoid it, so he had to pay his respects personally, "I, my concubine, send my regards to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed."

Chong Mo said "get up" and strode past.

Jingsu breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight out.

"Concubine Li doesn't like the materials sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Which song was this song from? Jingsu had to turn around and look at him, and said straightly: "It doesn't matter."

Chongmo's eyes flashed slightly, "That's good," and he immediately entered Concubine Jing's bedroom.

Jingsu felt confused, frowned irritably, and took Li Mo for a walk to the imperial garden. It was a little late when he returned to the palace, and he was waiting at the entrance of the palace. When he saw her from a distance, he ran over, "

Madam, Aunt Cui from the Garment Bureau has been waiting for a while to tailor a spring shirt for you."

Jingsu frowned and looked at him, "Aunt from the Clothing Bureau, I don't want to make new clothes."

"Your Majesty, Aunt Cui said that the emperor ordered her to come here. Now she is waiting in the palace. The servant sent someone to find the empress in the Furong Palace. The reply said that the empress was not there long ago, so she was guarding the door." Xiaoluzi said in detail.

.

Jingsu finally understood. When he entered the palace, he saw a pale-colored female nanny in official uniform standing with a depressed look, Jian Yue watching beside her. When the nun saw her, she knelt down and saluted: "This slave is making clothes."

Cui Mingxiu, the manager of the bureau, would like to send his regards to Concubine Li. May you be blessed."

Jingsu walked past her to the warm couch and sat down. He took the tea from Jian Yue and took a sip before saying, "Get up."

Aunt Cui quickly stood up, put on a smile on her face, and tried to please Jingsu, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has ordered your slave to come and measure your clothes. Can you please get up so that I can measure your size?"

Jingsu did not get up, but looked at her coldly, "Since you are the head of the Clothing Bureau, how come you don't know my measurements? Just follow them. The emperor ordered you to tailor my clothes, but he didn't say that you would make my clothes."

Let’s measure the size of the palace.”

After hearing what she said, Aunt Cui knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Jingsu hated her crying and yelling, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Nanny Cui hurriedly stood up again and said mournfully: "My Majesty, I don't know something. The Emperor said that if the Emperor is not satisfied with the clothes made by slaves, the slaves will be sent to Huanyi Residence to do hard labor.

Please show mercy and save this slave."

After Jingsu listened with a sullen face, his temples were pounding. After being depressed for a long time, he regained his composure, stood up and said, "Then just measure it."

Aunt Cui burst into tears with gratitude. She took out a soft ruler and carefully measured Jingsu's measurements. She stared at her for a long time and murmured: "Although the emperor ordered the servant to make several rose-colored dresses for the empress, in my opinion,

The empress is as beautiful as a human being, no matter what style or color she wears."

After hearing her words, Jingsu felt that his smile was weak, and he said in a deep voice: "Just do whatever the emperor tells you, your life is always important."

"That's what your Majesty said." Aunt Cui knew she had made a mistake, so she didn't dare to say anything anymore. She just looked Jingsu up and down carefully, then packed up her things and left.
