In May, Yan Fuguang and his party returned to Beijing.
When a man makes meritorious service outside, the woman who stays in the house will also gain face. Ning Huayue drags her sick body to the palace to attend the banquet, enjoying the adulation of others.
Chen Qingzi refused to enter the palace as always, so she was the only one sitting on Lu Qing's carriage.
When they met Zhu Qingjia outside the palace gate, Lu Qing asked Ning Huayue to leave first, and she followed Zhu Qingjia.
Ning Huayue glanced at her sideways and looked at Zhu Qingjia: "In public, there are still some rules. Don't lose the face of the Prince's Palace."
Her original intention was that she couldn't bear to see a princess like Zhu Qingjia hanging out with a concubine like Lu Qing.
But Zhu Qingjia insisted on misinterpreting it, and said angrily and laughed: "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to be with me? If the princess is dissatisfied with me, why not say it once and for all, so that we don't have to greet each other in a pretentious manner when we meet in the future. "
Ning Huayue stared and said: "Unreasonable!"
After saying that, she stopped entangled with Zhu Qingjia and turned away.
Zhu Qingjia sighed softly: "I originally thought that a wealthy family would not raise such a person with no sense of humility, but I didn't expect that I am too inexperienced."
Lu Qing tugged at her sleeves, not wanting to say anything unlucky on such a good day.
"Prince Heng is back today too." She carefully observed Zhu Qingjia's outfit and nodded in confirmation, "You are dressed beautifully today, let's have a good chat."
Zhu Qingjia would not tell others that she got up before dawn to dress up and tried on all the clothes in the wardrobe before deciding which one to wear today.
She blushed and scolded Lu Qing: "You're not bad either. I haven't seen you for a few days and you look very good. Your Highness is back. Why don't you treat me well?"
Lu Qing was ashamed by her straightforward words, but her Highness couldn't think of anything else to do today. The baby was only three months old, so he couldn't help but fidget.
Seeing that Lu Qing was also blushing, Zhu Qingjia waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not hurt each other!"
Lu Qing was careful with her stomach and waited quietly for Yan Fuguang to enter the palace.
In the main hall, Yan Fuguang and Yan Qinghuai knelt in front of Emperor Xihe: "My son, please see your father!"
Emperor Xihe was overjoyed. His son's ability is his father's ability. He excitedly helped his two sons up in person: "Okay, okay! I heard that your plan has achieved great results, and I will reward you well!"
Yan Qinghuai glanced to both sides with his peripheral vision, his mind was not on Emperor Xihe.
He didn't have any reward he wanted, so he just finished speaking quickly and asked him to meet Zhu Qingjia.
Yan Fuguang beside him was quite calm, but the more calm he appeared, the more Xihe Di felt guilty.
He had no choice but to face Yan Fuguang's face and it was easy for him to uncontrollably reflect on what he had done.
As soon as Yan Fuguang left the capital, Empress Xu and Yan Xianzhi were released. I didn't think that before, but Emperor Xihe realized it later. Was this decision wrong? It seems like he has been guarding against Yan Fuguang?
"That... I will send the reward to you at home. Sit down and have a meal quickly. I see that you two brothers have lost weight!"
Yan Fuguang nodded and waited for him to go to Emperor Xihe for comment in two days. He strode to his seat and sat down.
Ning Huayue sat next to him, and Lu Qing sat slightly behind. Yan Fuguang directly asked Lu Qing's table to be placed on the other side of him.
Everyone in the palace was paying attention to his every move. Many people wanted to persuade him that this was against the rules, but they did not dare to speak.
Even Xihe Didu just cleared his throat meaninglessly. After seeing that Yan Fuguang ignored him, he silently turned away and ignored the matter.
Ning Huayue's face was twisted. She wanted to speak several times but did not dare to speak due to Yan Fuguang's consistent preference for Lu Qing. She could clearly tell which was more embarrassing, being embarrassed in the house or being embarrassed in front of everyone.
In the past, I still expected Yan Fuguang to at least do superficial things, but after learning so many lessons, Ning Huayue gave up.
Lu Qing acted very embarrassed, and she hesitated to step forward.
There was no way, Yan Fuguang could let her sit over, Ning Huayue could not stop her, and Xi Hedi could ignore it, but she could not act impatient.
In fact, she also wanted to be close to her Highness, but she could tolerate the distance.
But Lu Qing could bear it, but Yan Fuguang couldn't. He patted the chair next to him and said, "Come here."
The command was loud enough that everyone heard it.
As a result, a few deliberately lowered conversations occasionally sounded in the originally silent hall.
"Did you hear that His Highness the Crown Prince asked Concubine Wei to come over?"
"I heard it. I'm not deaf. How could I not hear it? But this is different from what I thought..."
Yan Fuguang didn't care what others were thinking. He simply wanted to get closer to Lu Qing. He said again: "Come and sit next to me."
Lu Qing endured the excitement and went to sit down. Yan Fuguang's hand under the table took hers.
After all, in front of outsiders, Yan Fuguang behaved very well later on, always immersed in eating and occasionally taking a sip of wine.
It wasn't until the banquet was over that he got into the carriage and he held Lu Qing on his lap.
"Do you miss me?" The tall nose rubbed intimately on Lu Qing's neck, and the deep voice penetrated Lu Qing's ears, staining the side of her face red.
Lu Qing's smile spread to the corners of her eyes, and she replied: "I'm thinking about it, I think about it every day."
Yan Fuguang was satisfied, his handsome eyebrows stretched out, and his black eyes were stained with scattered light.
"Zhenzhen." He hugged Lu Qing's waist and shared with her the sweet dream he had had. "I had a dream. I dreamed that I had a daughter."
Lu Qing was stunned. She held Yan Fuguang's face, and her smile suddenly bloomed: "Your dream may come true soon."
"Huh?" Yan Fuguang didn't understand and flapped his long, straight eyelashes twice in confusion.
Lu Qing lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead, and said as gently as water: "I'm pregnant. I was diagnosed a few days after you returned, but I was afraid, so I didn't tell anyone."
Yan Fuguang never expected that such a big surprise would be waiting for him. His original plan was to have a sweet dream first, and then put it into practice again and again. He had a hunch that he would definitely have a daughter in this life.
"Daughter?" Yan Fuguang released his hand from Lu Qing's waist and carefully touched her belly, "How long have you been pregnant with her?"
Lu Qing laughed at him: "His Highness said before that both men and women like her. Now you don't know whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl, so you think it's a daughter. If she is born as a son, he will be unhappy."
Yan Fuguang admitted it, but he had a new reason: "Both men and women are definitely our children, and I can't help but prefer the daughter." Looking at the bright and beautiful Lu Qing in his arms, he held her hand. He put it to his lips and kissed it, and said seriously: "But no one can get past you."
"Your Highness is coaxing me again." However, Lu Qing felt extremely comfortable being coaxed by him. She leaned into his arms and said, "The baby is three months old."
She was conceived a few nights before he left Beijing. Yan Fuguang was very happy and asked concerned about Lu Qing: "Are you bothering me?"
Lu Qing was very satisfied with the child's well-behavedness. She shook her head and said in a very proud tone: "It's so well-behaved. It only took two days to vomit."
Yan Fuguang nodded secretly. A child who doesn't bother his mother is a good child. Compared with his expectations for his daughter, he was more reluctant to let Lu Qing suffer.
