"You're going to become a little fat man, but you still can't bear to eat..." Dugu Mingyue's eyebrows were slightly curved and her smile was gentle.
Qing'er pouted, straightened her lotus to reveal its sharp corners, put her hands on her hips and said:
"The more you eat, the faster you grow."
"Wujiang, is everything going well on your trip?" Dugu Mingyue put down her books and sat upright on the couch, looking quiet and gentle.
Zhao Wujiang nodded:
"Everything goes well. Brother Tianqing's poison has been eradicated. Jubei City's border defenses are still strong. Over at the Prairie Royal Court...
We will not attack Daxia for the time being. "
"I'm sorry for bothering you to make this trip."
Dugu Mingyue motioned to Qing'er to pour a cup of hot tea for Zhao Wujiang. Since she became pregnant, she has become more peaceful and gentle, losing the sharpness she had when she was competing for favor in the harem.
Zhao Wujiang waved his hand:
"Brother Tianqing has made good friends with me and was ordered to guard the northern border of Daxia. He was murdered and poisoned. It is appropriate for me to go here."
He sighed slightly and started another topic:
"Mother, are you feeling any physical discomfort these days? Or are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Dugu Mingyue shook his head:
"But among the harem, I trust you and Qing'er the most. You have superb medical skills. Why don't you diagnose my pulse and make some inquiries?"
Zhao Wujiang had this intention. He nodded, sat down next to Dugu Mingyue, and put his hand on Dugu Mingyue's pulse.
Qing'er's big eyes were darting around, her mouth was twitching as she ate the snacks, a little confused, the empress and Zhao Wujiang became more and more respectful to each other...
No, the identity relationship should not be about treating each other as guests, but... there is a feeling of treating each other as guests.
Both of them respect each other, not the respect of superiority, but the respect of equality...
Qing'er said in her heart.
Zhao Wujiang checked his pulse and felt the pulse beating. The corners of his mouth could not help but tilt up slightly, and the smile on his cheeks became gentler.
He didn't notice that Dugu Mingyue's eyes were actually staring at him, with a gentle and complicated expression.
Dugu Mingyue is a smart woman.
Being able to sit on the position of the master of the harem depends not only on the connections of the Dugu family, but also on her handling of the harem.
Just competing for favor may have concealed her original intelligence.
But now that she is pregnant, she has calmed down, observed many details, and peeled off the cocoons. In fact, she already has the answer in her heart.
It was just a guess before, but during this time, she increasingly confirmed her guess.
Why has the emperor not favored the harem for many years?
Just because of physical illness?
Then why did many of the imperial doctors who initially went to diagnose the disease die?
Was it because the diagnosis was wrong, or because something was diagnosed that one should not have known about?
Later, Zhao Wujiang appeared. After going to check up on the emperor, the emperor began to favor the harem, and Zhao Wujiang gradually became the emperor's confidant.
Is there really no secret in this?
These questions have actually been lingering in Dugu Mingyue's mind since then, but the guesses are just guesses.
But Dugu Mingyue gradually discovered that every day when Zhao Wujiang was not in the palace, the emperor would not favor the harem and refused for various reasons. Did this mean something?
And as the days of pregnancy get longer and longer, and she will give birth to a child soon, the maternal nature and intuition in her heart become more and more acute.
She could clearly feel that the emperor's state and look when he came to see her were different from the look on Zhao Wujiang's face when he came to see her.
Both of them are complicated, but Zhao Wujiang has a gentleness and gentleness that comes from the heart.
This is not just because Zhao Wujiang himself is a gentle and gentle man, but more likely, it is caused by the relationship between Zhao Wujiang and her Dugu Mingyue or her child in Dugu Mingyue's belly.
Therefore, she said that Zhao Wujiang and Qing'er are the two people she trusts most in the harem.
Because she actually already knew that Zhao Wujiang would never harm her.
It is one thing that she values Zhao Wujiang, but more importantly, she and Zhao Wujiang are unknown but real.
She basically confirmed that Zhao Wujiang was the father of her unborn child.
