Chapter 192 The Emperor Really Left Me
In Yongshou Palace, Yanwan and Hongli, after having eaten and drunk their fill, fell asleep in each other's arms.
Jinzhong and Chunchan were guarding outside.
In the middle of the night, Yanwan got up in a daze, which suddenly woke up Hongli who was sleeping soundly.
Hongli looked at the woman in his arms and was in a trance for a moment.
It had been a while since he had dreamed of Ruyi after falling asleep, but just fell asleep.
Seeing his deep eyes, Yan Wan muttered to herself, "Your Majesty, I need to change my clothes."
Her white little hands grasped his clothes on his chest: "Since the child was born in May, I have to go there several times a night."
Hongli was surprised and asked, "There is such a thing. Have you asked Zhang Yun?"
Yan Wan's face flushed: "I am embarrassed to ask the imperial physician, but I have asked Your Majesty, and Your Majesty said that this is the case for all pregnant women. In the last few months, as the belly gets bigger, she will change clothes more frequently."
Hongli stroked her hair and said, "No wonder you don't like to go out after five months. Go now."
Chunchan then dared to come forward and carefully helped Yanwan off the bed.
When she walked out of the outer room, Yanwan glanced at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong quickly looked up at her.
Seeing that each other looked good, they were both very satisfied.
Yan Wan whispered, "Eunuch Jinzhong, go and see if the emperor wants some water."
Jinzhong responded, bowed and waited for her to leave before going into the inner room.
Hongli was indeed thirsty, so he was asked to pour some water.
After drinking the water, Hongli leaned back on the soft pillow with a relaxed look on his face: "From today on, at least ten days, you must remind me to come to Yongshou Palace."
Jinzhong respectfully responded, "I obey your order."
Hongli handed him the cup and said, "I remember there is a red coral among the new tributes. I will have someone send it to Concubine Ling tomorrow morning."
Jinzhong smiled and said, "The Emperor treats Concubine Ling so well, Concubine Ling must be very happy."
Hongli recalled the look of admiration and dependence in Yanwan's eyes every time he gave her something, and said with a smile: "She really likes being remembered by me."
At this point, his crow-feather eyelashes trembled. In this whole palace, only Yan Wan could give him some peace and quiet. Even the Imperial Observatory said that she was a lucky star. He had to give Concubine Ling some more support to avoid any accidents in the future.
"Tomorrow, remind me to go to the Queen Mother's palace to pay my respects."
"Yes."
"...Tell Concubine Ling to get ready and go with me tomorrow."
"Yes."
Hongli waved his hand to let Jinzhong go, closed his eyes and waited for a while, then he heard Yanwan coming back.
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he held Yan Wan in his arms. He was clearly very awake before, but now, he fell asleep after just two sentences.
Hongli had a dreamless night and woke up the next day without anyone even calling him. He was stunned by the long-lost feeling of refreshment.
Yan Wan opened her eyes dazedly: "Your Majesty...I will serve you..."
Hongli felt comfortable physically and in a good mood. He pressed her shoulders and pushed her back: "Go to sleep. I'll come to see you in the evening."
Yanwan tilted her head and rubbed his wrist in a daze, then closed her eyes, hugged the quilt and fell asleep again.
Hongli lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, reached out and touched her hair, then got out of bed to wash.
Yan Wan didn't sleep for long before she got up. Today was the fifteenth day, the day she could see the empress openly. In the past six months, she would get up very early on every first and fifteenth day of the month.
Chunchan stood behind Yanwan, matching her jewelry: "Eunuch Jinzhong said that the emperor asked him to remind him to come to our Yongshou Palace at least once every ten days."
Yan Wan was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard this, she opened her eyes and said, "It seems that the emperor can't leave me either."
Chunchan felt that there was something fishy going on, but since Yanwan didn't say anything, she didn't ask any further questions.
After everything was packed, the master and servant went to Changchun Palace.
Yan Wan just stared at the road ahead with eager eyes. She was anxious but couldn't show it, so her expression was a little cold.
On the way, she ran into Ruyi. Ruyi looked at the sedan chair carrying Yanwan and smiled meaningfully: "The Concubine Ling is becoming more and more powerful now."
Yan Wan sat on the sedan chair and looked down at her: "Don't worry, Concubine Xian. You are the most favored by the emperor. If you are pregnant, the emperor will definitely grant you a sedan chair."
Ruyi's smile faded: "Concubine Ling, just protect the heir to the throne!"
Yan Wan said confidently: "Of course, I will protect my child well. By then, I and Sister Meifei will have two princes, and we will have someone to rely on for the rest of our lives."
Her words made Hai Lan, who had been silent the whole time, unable to hold back: "Empress Ling Fei is really willing to give away other people's children, and she is willing to give away her own children as well."
Yan Wan rested one hand on the handrail of the sedan chair, smiling elegantly: "I am different from those mothers who only know how to take advantage of their children. I will not keep the child by my side, but will only teach him to suffer for others.
For my child, I will naturally give him the best. My health is not good, so I cannot give him the best mother. Of course, I will personally choose the best mother for him, unlike you..."
She said something heartbreaking: "For your sister, you can even persecute your own son repeatedly."
Hai Lan's face was cold and serious: "Do you dare to swear? Swear that you didn't send your own child to win people's hearts just to win people's hearts!"
Yan Wan smiled: "Who are you to ask me to swear to you?"
She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You should be thankful that you are going to pay your respects to the Queen now. Otherwise, I would let you kneel here and reflect on your mistakes."
Hai Lan stared at Yan Wan and said, "If Madam Ling Fei insists, I can kneel down now."
Yan Wan sneered: "I don't like to interfere in other people's affairs."
She waved her hand: "Let's go."
The team started moving again, and Ruyi had to make way to let the sedan bearers pass first.
Hailan approached Ruyi and said, "Sister, don't be angry. Let her be arrogant. The more arrogant she is now, the more miserable she will be in the future."
Ruyi nodded lightly and did not say many caring and warm words to her as she did before.
Hailan opened her mouth, a trace of loss flashed across her eyes, and then there was overwhelming guilt.
It was all because of her uselessness that she was never able to send the person to Yongshou Palace, so her sister had to do it herself, and she had to deal with a filthy old woman like Madam Wei.
She quickly caught up with Ruyi and said, "Sister, I found a prescription that can make people pregnant, but the effect is a bit overbearing, so I have been hesitant and have not told you."
Ruyi suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Is it really effective?"
Hailan nodded heavily: "It's useful, but it will hurt my sister's body..."
Ruyi held Hailan's hand tightly, her big eyes full of anticipation and enthusiasm: "It's just physical harm! Hailan, you know how much I want to have a child of my and the emperor's blood!"
