"What about Huyin?" Chu Miao'er yawned and revealed her whole face, "Will she go?"
Fu Yunqi took advantage of the situation to help her up and shook his head: "She is pregnant now, and my second brother's baby will definitely not let her go out in the rain."
That's right, if Huyin makes any mistake now, the entire Second Prince's house will be in chaos. To be on the safe side, it's better not to move around at will.
When she was about to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, Chu Miaoer naturally did not dare to stay still any longer. She quickly asked Baitao to dress herself up and then set off to follow Fu Yunchi to the palace.
It turns out that the palace has been busy arranging the Yuexi family banquet in recent days. The Queen Mother allowed them to enter the palace today because there were many exquisite snacks brought in from various places, and she was specially asked to come and taste them.
It's almost the Moon Festival, but it's raining one after another. I don't know if there will be a moon to see by then. Thinking of this makes me feel sad for no reason.
Arriving outside Xiangfu Palace, Chu Miaoer met Fu Yanshuo and Ye Zhiqiu who were walking in the garden. It seemed that they had waited outside for a long time on purpose.
Seeing the two of them treating each other like guests, she felt a little emotional. She once thought that Ye Zhiqiu and Fu Yanxuan were typical matchmakers ordered by their parents. It wasn't until she heard about their past that she realized that she had also put all her heart and soul into it.
On Fu Yanshuo.
Looking at the way Ye Zhiqiu keeps distance from him now, it is really hard to imagine how she gave up her expectations.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Fu Yanshuo walked towards them with a smile and nodded in greeting.
"Second brother," Chu Miaoer smiled and saluted, turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu, and called, "Second sister-in-law."
Ye Zhiqiu liked this fourth sibling very much. He was even happier when he saw her than when he saw Fu Yanshuo. He took Chu Miao'er affectionately with one hand and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw my sibling. If it hadn't been for sister Linghui coming to the house that day."
If you can't walk away, I will definitely come to see you with sister Huyin."
"Second sister-in-law can come anytime she wants to see me, and she's not in a hurry." Chu Miao'er responded with a smile, "It's just that second sister-in-law has been working hard recently..."
The two of them were walking in front of each other arm in arm, chatting and not noticing that the two behind them had already fallen far behind.
"My brothers and sisters don't know, sister Huyin agreed to marry into the palace. Not only the prince is happy, but I am also very happy," Ye Zhiqiu said lightly, "I have lost three children, but now sister Huyin has been favored by God, and the prince has a successor.
My wish has finally come true, otherwise I will never have the face to see my mother in this life..."
I think the child in Huyin's belly is also born with good luck. Ye Zhiqiu has a kind nature. After the child is born, he will definitely treat him as his own.
Furthermore, the Second Prince’s House never formed any clique with others for personal gain or enmity with others in the court, and the Prince’s House has never had anything to show for it. If this child is born smoothly, he will naturally become the heir of the Second Prince’s House, with a fortune of tens of thousands.
Thousands of favors form one body.
"Concubine Jing is devoted to the Buddha, and she will definitely not blame you..." Chu Miao'er patted her hand gently and said comfortingly, "Second sister-in-law, please don't think wildly."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled softly, but the smile was a little forced, as if he was trying to hide something with his smile. Since she didn't want to say anything, Chu Miaer couldn't ask any more questions.
"Miao'er, come here, come here..." Seeing her coming in, the Queen Mother quickly stretched out her hand to ask her to come to her side, and asked kindly, "Where is Yun Qi? Didn't he come with you?"
Only then did Chu Miaoer realize that the two people who were following him had disappeared at some point. She quickly concealed her inner doubts and replied: "He, I met him on the road with my second brother. He must be still on the road."
Just chatting."
"These two brothers are really serious. When can we not talk..." The Queen Mother felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she still had a pleasant smile on the surface.
Fu Yunqi and Fu Yanshuo have been inseparable since childhood. Compared to Fu Deyou, they are more like brothers and sisters. Fortunately, neither of them covets the throne.
"Yunqi and his second brother have a very good relationship, and sometimes I can't even get a word in." Chu Miaoer smiled and turned around and asked, "Second sister-in-law, do you think so or not?"
Ye Zhiqiu, who had been silent beside her, smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with her words.
Today, Ye Zhiqiu wore a pale gold dress with gold trim and a simple flying bun. Coupled with her face that always had a faint smile, she looked both wealthy and dignified.
Everyone could see that Chu Miaoer was deliberately trying to find something to say for Ye Zhiqiu.
As if she had just seen her, the Queen Mother looked at her casually and sighed lovingly: "Zhiqiu is here, let's sit together. It just so happens that there are many new snacks today, let's try them all."
Ye Zhiqiu has always had a non-competition and non-grabbing temperament, and the Queen Mother neither dislikes nor particularly likes her. It was Ling Hui who helped her lobby for her marriage to Fu Yanshuo.
"Miao'er went to Dongling this time and seems to be getting thinner?" the queen mother said worriedly, "but what happened?"
Have you lost weight? Mingming woke up this morning and looked in front of the bronze mirror for a long time. He felt that he had gained weight and had more fat on his face. But since the Queen Mother said she was thin, she must have lost weight.
"Mother, Miao'er is fine," Chu Miao'er thought of an excuse in her mind and explained with a smile, "Maybe it's because the temperature suddenly dropped so much when I came back that I lost my appetite for a while."
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's original intention was not to discuss whether she was thin or not, but to raise a real topic.
"Now that Huyin is pregnant, why are you still silent?" the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice, with a serious look on her face.
Although Chu Miaoer knew that she would face such a question sooner or later, she did not expect that the Queen Mother would ask the question so abruptly. Even though she had been prepared for it, she could not answer it for a while.
"I..." Chu Miaoer blinked his eyes, his mind seemed to go blank suddenly, and he couldn't think of anything to say.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, the Queen Mother continued: "She has been in the palace for less than half a year, and you have been here for so long... The Ai family saw that you and Yun Qi have a very good relationship, so logically you shouldn't have stayed together for so long.
It’s because there’s no movement, could it be...?”
Does the Queen Mother think she is infertile? Chu Miaoer smiled and responded: "Mother, I don't care about the matter of childbearing. It still depends on God's will..."
"A woman's happiness depends on her children all her life. Besides, do you understand how important the royal family attaches to their children? So you must not take it lightly and take this matter to heart." The Queen Mother emphasized again seriously, "Next time
Nothing is as important as the issue of heirs."
Ye Zhiqiu, who was sitting beside him, had a hint of invisible sadness in his eyes, but it passed quickly and no one noticed it.
When Chu Miao'er was in trouble, Fu Yunqi appeared like a divine soldier from heaven.
"Mother, what are you talking about? Are you so serious?" Fu Yunqi's lazy voice sounded from outside, and then Chu Miao'er saw him walking towards her with relaxed features, held her hand and smiled, "
Miao'er's palms are all sweaty."
After he said it, Chu Miao'er realized that her palms were already covered with fine sweat.
I thought the Queen Mother would find an excuse to brush it off, but she didn't.
"Now that your second brother has got his wish, the Ai family is reminding Miao'er to pay more attention to his health and conceive a royal heir as soon as possible so that you can have an heir," the Queen Mother pretended to be scolded, "Look at you, you look like a bully from the Ai family
It’s like he’s frightened her.”
The Queen Mother's words were almost perfect. She not only explained what happened just now, but also expressed her own attitude. Finally, she gave the boss of the mansion a step to step down.
"Yun Qi has no intention of blaming the Queen Mother," Fu Yunchi looked at Chu Miao'er with a smile and said calmly, "It's just that the Eastern Jue has not yet been pacified and the DPRK is not yet stable. Yun Qi does not want to waste his energy on this.
On the little things.”
"The issue of heirs is a big deal, how can it be a small matter?!" The Queen Mother showed her disapproval for the first time.
Although the harem could not interfere in the affairs of the court, and she did not quite understand the situation in the court, how could the heir be a trivial matter?
Seeing that mother and son had differences, Chu Miaoer quickly agreed: "My daughter-in-law must take this matter to heart and not let her mother down."
That Wan Niang had not made any movement in the Fourth Prince's house for so many years. I thought it was because Fu Yunqi didn't care about her.
But now the relationship between Fu Yunqi and Chu Miao'er is getting better and better day by day, but there is still no movement at all. As a mother, how can she not be anxious?
After all, Fu Yunqi would return to Mobei. Knowing that they were dealing with it perfunctorily, the Queen Mother had nothing to say.
"Well, the Ai family is too lazy to worry about these things. You two can do whatever you want," the Queen Mother waved her hands gently, looking helpless, and then looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Huyin has no experience. As someone who has been there, you should do everything.
Worry more."
Chu Miaoer didn't know what happened between the Queen Mother and Ye Zhiqiu. They were very unfamiliar. When Fu Yunqi told it, Ye Zhiqiu should have been watched by the Queen Mother when he grew up. Not to mention that they were as close as her own children, so they wouldn't be so cold.
.
Could it be because of Ye Zhiqiu's three dead children?
"Zhiqiu should take this as a warning and take good care of Huyin without making any mistakes." Ye Zhiqiu responded seriously.
Hearing this, Chu Miaoer could conclude that Ye Zhiqiu's estranged relationship with the Queen Mother was indeed caused by her three children who passed away one after another.
But is this too unfair to Ye Zhiqiu? Which mother in the world is willing to see her child die with her own eyes? The Queen Mother blamed Ye Zhiqiu for her child's death. This move is inevitably too narrow-minded.
"Very good," the Queen Mother nodded, and greeted with a kind smile, "Yuling, go quickly and serve up all the pastries for them to taste."
Even though Ye Zhiqiu tried his best to hide it, Chu Miaoer, who had sharp eyes, still noticed her slightly trembling lips, and couldn't help but feel a twitch in her heart.
"Zhiqiu," the Queen Mother said with a smile while drinking the tea in her hand, "Ling Hui is back, have you seen her?"
"I have met, the Queen Mother," Ye Zhiqiu replied obediently, but lowered his head slightly and did not look into the Queen Mother's eyes. "Sister Ling Hui has been busy visiting some of her former relatives and friends in the past few days. I only met her in a hurry yesterday.
Just one side."
Seeing her sad expression, the Queen Mother also felt some pity. Ye Zhiqiu and Ling Hui grew up together and were sisters. Now it seems that their fates are so similar. God is really playing tricks on people.
The Queen Mother sighed softly and said: "This girl has a hard life. She finally made a promise to a good family, but something happened to her husband's family before she even entered the family. Sometimes I think about it, if her mother hadn't insisted on taking her away, maybe she would have died.
