In a corner of the imperial garden, a palace maid was being blocked by Bai Yujing.
"Just now, you were hiding in the dark and sneaking around. Are you looking at the wise king, or are you looking at me?"
The beautiful face of the man in front of him was smiling, and his exquisite eyes were filled with affection, so dazzling in the sun that people dared not look into them.
The little palace maid's face turned red immediately, she was too shy to raise her head, she was as delicate as a budding flower.
"Slave, slave, I don't have..."
"No? I will be disappointed." Bai Yujing smiled even deeper, "You look so cute, I have been paying attention to you for a long time."
He reached out his hand and gently helped her push back a naughty strand of hair, "If you were secretly looking at me just now, I would be very happy."
His tone was ambiguous and bewitching, making the little palace maid's heart beat more and more out of control, and she was already sinking into this sudden luck.
Until there was a cold shout, the two people in the corner turned around. Unexpectedly, Emperor Dongling and several palace officials were standing not far away, looking at them with gloomy faces.
The little palace maid was so frightened that her legs weakened and she immediately knelt down on the ground, while Bai Yujing curled her lips and then bowed.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Dongling came forward with a cold expression, and the father-in-law behind him immediately scolded the little palace maid, "Quickly retreat!"
"You are quite leisurely. As soon as you enter the palace, you are busy flirting with women and have all the things at hand finished?!"
Emperor Dongling stood with his hands behind his hands and stared at Bai Yujing in front of him majestically. Seeing that the other party did not answer, he immediately snorted coldly, "If you don't do business, you just make trouble in my back garden all day long. Have you not been whipped recently?" , just forget about the pain?”
There seemed to be a faint snickering all around. The people around the emperor were all too familiar with the scene in front of them.
"What did Mr. Bai do again?"
On this side, Concubine Chen had already left the Eleventh Prince with Xia Yunxian, and saw the figure in the corner from a distance.
After asking about it, the palace man replied playfully, "Master Bai teased the palace maid again, and was caught by His Majesty. He is currently training him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Chen was slightly startled, then gave Xia Yunxian a helpless look and signaled the palace man to step back.
"Every time he comes to the palace, if he doesn't make a little noise, I won't be used to it."
Concubine Chen had something to say, but Xia Yunxian's expression was always calm, making people wonder if she could hear the deeper meaning of her words.
Indeed, if Bai Yujingan went in and out of the palace peacefully, it would not be like his style.
But when Xia Yunxian looked over again, he saw that Emperor Dongling stretched out his hand and hit him. His expression showed that he hated iron but did not turn into steel. There was no distance or restraint that should exist between a monarch and his ministers. He looked more like an elder with a close relationship.
Xia Yunxian couldn't help but take a closer look. Although Bai Yujing's biological father, General Bai, had a close relationship with the emperor, this friendship might have made him value Bai Yujing more.
But when the two people stood together, the atmosphere had an indescribable feeling, but it couldn't be said to be strange.
The figure slowly leaving here quickly attracted Bai Yujing's attention. His originally frivolous expression suddenly froze, and he secretly cursed bad luck.
Concubine Chen couldn't wait to take her where?
How come you took this path by chance?
Could it be intentional?
"Did you hear what I said clearly?" Emperor Dongling's eyes seemed to be cannibalistic. Bai Yujing was the first to dare to be distracted when he was reprimanding him!
"Will she be angry?" Unexpectedly, Bai Yujing murmured, and then she actually smiled.
It would be best if she could be angry. If I had to worry about her, it would be her turn to enjoy it!
"I don't know if she is angry or not, but I am very angry!" Which noble girl is this bastard thinking about again?
The sound of Dongling Emperor gnashing his teeth finally made Bai Yujing come back to his senses. Then he shrugged and said, "Isn't your Majesty like this when he was young?"
"You...go to the imperial study room!"
…
Returning to Zhaoqing Palace, Concubine Chen suddenly held Xia Yunxian's hand until no one was around. Her beautiful eyes were reddish, and she was extremely excited, "Mrs. Shizi, you are so amazing!"
She could not describe her feelings, especially when she saw Concubine Jia holding the Eleventh Prince in her arms and crying with joy.
She was obviously happy for the child, but she was also extremely jealous.
Jealous of Concubine Jia, because she met Xia Yunxian, she regained what was lost and did not have to experience the pain of losing her son like she did.
But she was very lucky that God did not let her miss Xia Yunxian again!
"Your Majesty, I'm very grateful. I'm just lucky."
"I just don't know if I am lucky or not."
Concubine Chen's expression moved slightly. Xia Yunxian looked at her face, which she tried her best to cover up with makeup, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed, "Your Majesty, can I ask my wife to take your pulse?"
She was silent for a moment, then gently lifted up her luxurious sleeves.
When his hand touched Concubine Chen's veins, Xia Yunxian's expression became a little solemn.
"How is it?" Listening to her nervous tone, Xia Yunxian knew that this happy pulse was not an accident.
"Mother, you are too anxious! You haven't recovered well yet, how can you..."
"So, I really have a baby? My child is back?" Concubine Chen's joy was beyond words.
She had heard from Xia Yunxian before that there were a few days every month where it was extremely easy to get pregnant. She originally wanted to give it a try, but until these two days she suddenly lost her appetite for anything and felt tired easily.
This made Concubine Chen, who had had this experience before, feel extremely uneasy. She even walked cautiously, waiting for a suitable moment for Xia Yunxian to give her the answer.
"You will help me, right?" Seeing Concubine Chen burst into tears, Xia Yunxian could understand her mood.
She just missed that child so much.
"The matter has come to this, and I will do my best. I only hope that I will listen to the doctor's advice in the future and stop acting out of impulse."
Seeing Xia Yunxian's tolerant smile, Concubine Chen felt relieved and stretched out her hand to gently caress her still flat belly, "This time, I will wait until the fetus is firmly seated before telling others."
In the past, this was almost impossible, because the imperial doctor would check the pulse of the concubines in the palace every month, and once there was good news, it would be known to everyone.
Recently, everyone knew that Xia Yunxian had been helping her take care of her health, and the imperial doctors had not come to Zhaoqing Palace to take pulses again, so if they wanted to hide it, they would be able to hide it.
"My wife thinks something is wrong. I should at least let His Majesty know about it." Maybe other concubines in the palace have ulterior motives, but Emperor Dongling will definitely not harm his own flesh and blood.
Telling him gives you an extra level of protection.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want." Concubine Chen's face lit up again.
…
"Be careful. Clean the stones in the yard and check the stone steps. Don't trip the queen!"
Nanny Zhang's busy figure quickly shuttled around every corner of Zhaoqing Palace, and outside the door, a meaningful gaze watched for a long time before the sneaky figure turned around and headed in a certain direction.
