Yan Xianzhi left the capital, Emperor Xihe and Empress Xu reconciled, and the air above the capital seemed to be different from before.
The emperor and empress played the piano and the harp in harmony, and Empress Xu felt relieved on her face.
"Fuguang and Qinghuai will be arriving in a few days, and I have decided to hold a banquet for them."
Lu Qing remembered that something like this had happened before, but at that time she was too busy plotting against Ning Huayue and didn't have the chance to see him immediately after he returned from his travels.
This time, she and Ning Huayue have no grudges for the time being, so she should be able to enter the palace smoothly to welcome him, right?
Lu Qing thought with anticipation, but at this moment Concubine Chen, who was bowing down to Empress Xu, specifically mentioned Yan Xianzhi.
"I heard that the eldest prince went to Songjiang Mansion? That place is not far from the capital. If I finish my errands and come back early, I can just go back to the capital with the prince and the others. In this way, the queen's reception banquet will be even more lively!"
Concubine Chen's smile didn't reach her eyes. She suspected that Empress Xu secretly asked Yan Xianzhi for some good job in front of Emperor Xihe, but she just didn't say it out now.
Empress Xu didn't answer. She glanced at Concubine Chen indifferently and tilted her head to look at the fresh fruits on the table: "The eldest prince is just inspecting the river embankment. It's not a big deal. There is no need to wash away the wind and dust."
Concubine Chen tried to get some words out of Empress Xu but it didn't work. She lowered the corners of her mouth and gently gritted her teeth and said: "The eldest prince is the child of the empress and the emperor. After all, he is different from the other brothers. The emperor is more tolerant towards him. "
Yan Xian had done so many damn things in the past, and yet he suddenly appeared in front of everyone alive and kicking. Isn't this the partiality of Emperor Xi He?
These words not only represented Concubine Chen's dissatisfaction, but also the voices of others, but the others did not dare to speak out in front of Queen Xu.
Empress Xu simply pretended not to understand, and said: "The Emperor must treat the children the same way, but Xianzhi likes to stick to his father since he was a child. I guess that's the reason."
Concubine Chen twitched the corners of her mouth a few times with a smile and then said nothing.
Lu Qing didn't hear much of their confrontation, she only cared about Yan Fuguang.
He's coming back, and judging from the news coming back so far, he doesn't seem to be injured.
This is her greatest hope.
Lu Qing was still happy until she returned home. When she got off the carriage, she jumped slightly, and Ji Qin turned pale.
"Master! Be careful!"
Lu Qing didn't know why: "What's wrong?"
Once Yan Fuguang leaves, Lu Qing will miss him when she has free time.
She had no time to care about the changes in her body, but Ji Qin was worried every day.
After returning to Jinxiyuan, Ji Qin said to Lu Qing solemnly: "It's been a while since you stopped taking medicine. I'll ask Doctor Jiang to come and take a look at you later?"
Dr. Jiang had indeed explained this matter before, and Lu Qing nodded without thinking too much. After all, it wouldn't be a bad thing to check it out, and it would be better to prescribe the right medicine in case you need to take medicine.
"Okay, go and invite her over."
Lu Qing drank a cup of tea and waited slowly.
On the way, Ji Qin had already exchanged breaths with Dr. Jiang. She looked nervously at Dr. Jiang diagnosing Lu Qing's pulse, and asked anxiously: "How is it?"
Dr. Jiang carefully observed Lu Qing's pulse for so long that Lu Qing began to feel nervous.
"You haven't recovered yet? What more medicine should you drink?"
Doctor Jiang put down Lu Qing's wrist and shook her head with a smile: "Congratulations, Concubine Wei, you don't need to drink any more medicine. My mistress has been in your belly for almost two months."
Lu Qing was stunned by the sudden news. She was still taking medicine more than two months ago. Did she have a child by then?
She touched her belly in panic and asked, "Is the child going to be okay?"
Dr. Jiang relieved Lu Qing's worries. She said: "Judging from your pulse, you have recovered a lot. And I have adjusted the prescription for you later. The child should be fine."
Lu Qing was in poor health at first, so she did not recommend getting pregnant at that time. Later, she nursed Lu Qing back to health slowly, and Yan Fuguang also kept a close eye on her. The medicinal soup was replaced with tonics. Lu Qing's current body can withstand the stress of pregnancy and childbirth. Thanks for your hard work.
"But you still have to be careful. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long said that your body comes first in everything, and nothing is as important as you." Dr. Jiang added.
Lu Qing smiled after hearing what she said. Now that she has recovered, the child has also arrived, which is a good thing.
"Don't worry, I will be careful."
As soon as Dr. Jiang left, Ji Qin and Man Dong congratulated happily: "Congratulations, Master, our Jinqi Courtyard will be even more lively in the future!"
"It's good for the few of us to know about this. Don't tell anyone about it yet. I'll give you rewards when His Highness comes back."
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. When Yan Fuguang is not around, Lu Qing must keep a low profile as much as possible.
The first three sons have already made many people jealous. If the news of her pregnancy spreads again at this time, wouldn't she be setting herself up as a target?
Lu Qing will not do this.
Ji Qin and Man Dong are of course on a united front with Lu Qing. In fact, there is no need for Lu Qing to explain, and they will not be stupid enough to speak out at this time to attract hatred.
"Yes, the slaves know it. Master, please rest assured."
"Of course I am completely at ease with you two. People outside are unpredictable, so I don't want any accidents to happen." Lu Qing rewarded each of you with a gold bracelet, "Let's rejoice quietly first."
Only those close to her knew about the pregnancy. Dr. Jiang was told by Lu Qing not to talk nonsense. In addition, Lu Qing didn't even tell Brother Lan and the others, but would occasionally test whether they had any expectations for their younger brother or younger sister. .
The children all hoped to have another younger brother or younger sister. Lu Qing smiled and asked them if they wanted a younger brother or younger sister.
Lan Ge'er already had two younger brothers. He originally didn't want a younger brother, but after asking Lu Qing and learning that no one could control whether the child was a boy or a girl, he changed his mind.
"It's okay for younger brothers and sisters. I'm the older brother and I will definitely treat them well."
A good brother should not dislike his younger brothers or sisters. As long as they are his mother's children, he likes them and will love and protect them.
Brother Yu and Brother Lan have the same idea. He thinks Brother Jiu is also very good. If he has another younger brother like him, Brother Yu will be very happy.
Lu Qing felt relieved and turned to ask Brother Jiu what he thought.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and replied to Lu Qing: "Sister."
Brother Ninth had no idea about younger brothers and sisters. He just heard that his mother said she wanted a daughter, so the one her mother gave birth to would be his sister.
Lu Qing didn't say anything, but in her heart she was looking forward to having a daughter.
She wanted to raise a daughter, and she didn't need to teach her to be well-behaved, sensible, and virtuous. She wanted her to be a free bird, not to be restrained, and to be free throughout her life.
