My Lady is well

Halfway through spring, the east wind blows down peach blossoms all over the ground, the sun is warm, and the flowers and willows are shining.

Shen Yueyao wore a Cuiyan Qianshui skirt with a few vivid pink butterflies embroidered on it, and the moon-white palace belt showed off her slender waistline.

She was naturally beautiful without any makeup on, and she was leaning lazily on the railing under the porch.

There is a pond below with a few koi fish.

Shen Yueyao leisurely scattered a few grains of fish food, which attracted the fish to jump out of the water and scramble for the food.

There was a hint of gloom between Shen Yueyao's brows, and she looked listless.

Ever since Jing Ruzhang discovered the matter of the medicine last time, she dared not act rashly again and could only follow the doctor's advice and take the medicine on time.

Although Jing Ruzhang didn't punish her last time, the tone of his voice felt like it could freeze her to death.

If we leave any clues and let him find out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jin'er held a few peach blossoms in her hand in front of her chest. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, she walked over and said with a smile.

"Master, you are almost fully recovered now. You haven't dressed up for a long time. Let me put flowers in your hair."

Shen Yueyao tilted her head and glanced at the beautiful peach blossom in her arms. She couldn't muster any interest and shook her head.

"Let me rest for two more days."

Jin'er was confused and looked at her and asked in a low voice.

"Master, why...why do you feel different from before? Is it really because of that dream?"

Shen Yueyao's expression paused, her eyes dimmed, she frowned, and said coldly.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? I already think it's ridiculous too."

Seeing her mood getting lower and lower, Jin'er felt a little sad and said hurriedly.

"…It doesn't matter. No matter what the master becomes, he is still Jin'er's master."

Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, raised a bitter smile on her lips, and said softly.

"Silly girl."

Jin'er smiled happily and scratched his head.

Seeing her heartless laughter, Shen Yueyao also laughed.

Dongxue came over with lowered brows and bowed.

"Master, the Crown Princess just sent someone over to ask about your health."

Shen Yueyao slowly stopped smiling, pursed her lips, thought indifferently for a moment, then looked up and said.

"Got it. I'll go to Changning Palace to pay my respects to the Crown Princess later."

Jin'er: "Master, do you want to rest for two more days?"

"No need. The Crown Princess has already sent people to ask twice. If I postpone it again, I'm afraid I'll be neglected."

There was laughter in Changning Palace.

The Crown Princess held a polo ball in her hand and threw it lightly. The polo ball rolled to the door and she teased little Cheng'an to pick it up.

Little Cheng'an took cheerful little steps, bent like a broad bean, picked up the ball, and laughed so hard that his eyes were closed.

Song Yuanyi raised the handkerchief to her lips and laughed. Her laughter was crisp and clear, totally unlike the usually dignified and reserved Crown Princess.

Little Cheng'an seemed to like seeing her smile very much. He grabbed the ball and was about to run towards her. His little feet tripped and came into close contact with the floor.

Little Cheng'an howled and cried miserably.

Song Yuanyi felt like the sky was falling. She walked faster than the palace maids waiting on the side and rushed to Xiao Cheng'an first.

Squatting down, a gentle embrace wrapped his small body, leaving only a pair of big tearful eyes and a pink little nose exposed on his shoulders.

Song Yuanyi's tears started flowing as she cried out "darling, darling".

Shen Yueyao came in and happened to see the mother and son hugging and crying.

Tears as big as beans flowed out of the little guy's eyes and snot flowed down, making him look both cute and pitiful.

Shen Yueyao looked around the hall, her eyes fell on the red rope on the nanmu desk, she walked over and smiled.

He picked up the red rope and tied a knot, then walked to Xiao Cheng'an, squatted down, and raised his eyebrows at him.

Little Cheng'an howled and rolled his big eyes around her.

Two jade hands are hung with red ropes, and the slender fingers are flexibly hooking, picking, flipping, pressing and releasing, making the red rope change into different shapes.

Sometimes it looks like a fishing net, sometimes like a hill, sometimes like a spider web...

Little Cheng'an was so overwhelmed by what he saw that he forgot the pain for a moment and started giggling instead.

When the Crown Princess heard the laughter, she stopped crying. She turned around and found Shen Yueyao smiling behind her.

Their eyes met, Shen Yueyao took the red rope, stood up and greeted her.

"I have met the Crown Princess."

Song Yuanyi turned around and touched little Cheng'an's chubby face, raised her handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly stood up, and returned to being the steady Crown Princess.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Princess."

Song Yuanyi glanced at the wet nurse waiting on the side, handed little Cheng'an's hand to the wet nurse and gave instructions.

"Take the little grandson away."

The nurse nodded with her head down.

Little Cheng'an looked at Shen Yueyao eagerly, wanting to see her flip the red string. He snorted twice, but before he could say anything, he was picked up by the wet nurse and walked out of the hall.

The Crown Princess smiled at her.

"It made you laugh."

Shen Yueyao also replied with a polite smile.

"No, even though I'm not a mother, I can understand the Crown Princess' feelings. It's just human nature."

The Crown Princess looked at her carefully for a few seconds, then walked to the main seat and sat down with her eyelashes drooped.

"Sister, please sit down."

"Thank you, Princess."

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Shen Yueyao realized that Song Yuanyi was still wearing a thin satin jacket, and there was red charcoal burning on a small red clay stove beside her.

She didn't look well and her breathing was heavy.

The Crown Princess covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. Shu Xin gently stroked her back and helped her to breathe more smoothly.

She took a sip of hot tea, patted her chest with a handkerchief, and breathed heavily.

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly, looked at her and said with concern.

"Your health...what does the imperial physician say?"

The Crown Princess sighed, her mood a little low.

"What else can I say? It's just a lack of energy and blood. It's an old problem."

"You have to be careful. I have a thousand-year-old ginseng, which is very good for replenishing blood and qi. I'll ask Jin'er to get it for me later."

"You have a heart."

Shen Yueyao smiled and nodded, picked up the new tea that Shuxin brought, and took a sip.

The Crown Princess spoke.

"You have been in the East Palace for a long time, but you have not met the emperor and the queen. The emperor has not been in good health for a few days, and the queen has been busy taking care of him. The family banquet originally scheduled for the 15th of each month has been cancelled. Now that his health has improved, they want to hold a palace banquet, and the queen asked me to help host it."

Shen Yueyao's eyes darkened for a moment when she heard that, then they regained clarity and she smiled faintly.

"The Queen loves you very much."

The Crown Princess's eyes seemed a little dazed, and there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"The Queen is always thinking about the Crown Prince. At this palace banquet, she also wants to find another woman of his choice to take into the Eastern Palace."

Shen Yueyao nodded slightly, looked at her and asked.

"I see. Does Your Majesty have a favorite candidate?"

The Crown Princess did not answer her, but changed the subject.

"My health is getting worse. If something happens to me in the future, I will have pity on my Cheng An..."

She didn't say anything else, tears welled up in her eyes.

"May the Crown Princess live a long and blessed life. You just need to take good care of yourself. The little grandson is the Crown Prince's eldest son, so his future is naturally limitless."

The Crown Princess looked at her and smiled faintly.

"I wish you a long and blessed life, but I still need to make long-term plans for Cheng'an."
