Wearing a book, hooking him up

The sun sets in the west, and the orange-red afterglow sprinkles on the earth, covering everything with a soft veil.

Su Jingyao gently put down the piano in her hand. Her bulging belly was already very obvious. She was six months pregnant and now looked a little tired every time she did something.

The reason why she insisted on playing the piano was to give prenatal education to her unborn baby. She played soothing tunes, and every note expressed her endless love for her child.

During this period, she also tried her best to think less and stay relaxed.

"Master, the sun is setting, why don't you go out for a walk?" Miaoyun asked softly, her eyes full of concern.

Su Jingyao turned her head to look at the sky gradually darkening outside the window and nodded.

"Let's go out for a walk. It's October now, so it's not that hot and humid."

After that, she slowly stood up.

Miaoyun hurried forward and carefully helped her up.

Miaoxia, Miaoyue and Miaoxue beside her also followed her out. After all, she was a pregnant woman now, and there were always a lot of people around her when she went out.

In addition to the four palace maids, there were also two eunuchs following them. Everyone was very cautious, fearing that Concubine Su might make any mishap.

If anything happened to her, no palace servant in Xiyan Palace would be able to bear the responsibility.

Su Jingyao walked slowly towards the small garden outside the East Palace. She knew that she couldn't walk for too long, so she didn't go as far as the Imperial Garden.

The small garden outside the East Palace was also in full bloom at this time. The newly transplanted begonias, hibiscus, and vinca roses planted by the palace maids in the palace's flower room were swaying gently in the breeze.

Su Jingyao strolled in the small garden, feeling the fragrance of the flowers, admiring the beautiful scenery, and her mood became particularly relaxed.

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant female voice was heard, breaking the tranquility of the garden.

"I didn't expect that when I went out for a walk today, I would first run into the Crown Princess and Tang Fengyi, and now I'd run into the Concubine. It's really a coincidence today."

An Jinyan's voice was gentle, with a hint of deliberate intimacy.

Su Jingyao turned her head when she heard the voice, and saw the Crown Princess followed by Tang Fengyi and An Liangdi slowly approaching.

The three of them got together by chance.

Su Jingyao walked forward gracefully, she raised her head slightly and looked at the Crown Princess with a faint smile on her face.

Her belly was already bulging quite noticeably, but she did not bow, but just nodded slightly to the Crown Princess.

"I pay my respects to you, sister. My belly is a little big. Your Highness, please excuse me from paying my respects. Sister, please forgive me."

Ling Yue rarely saw Su Jingyao after the ban was lifted. When he saw her today, he suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

Ling Yue looked at Su Jingyao's bulging belly. This baby of hers was cherished by everyone, and Jun Zechen even exempted her from paying her respects every day.

After Su Jingyao became pregnant, she rarely left the palace. Even if she did, His Highness would only accompany her for a walk.

So Ling Yue really hadn't seen her for a long time.

Despite being six months pregnant, Su Jingyao's appearance was still dazzlingly beautiful. Looking at her back from afar just now, it was almost hard to believe that this was a woman who was six months pregnant.

It seems that God really favors this woman too much.

The elegant temperament in her every gesture, the fair and delicate skin, and the lively eyes are all eye-catching.

Ling Yue tried hard to calm the waves in her heart and maintained a calm expression on her face.

Slowly she said, "No need to be polite, concubine. The heir to the throne is the most important."

"Sister, bring your two sisters to take a walk in the garden?"

Su Jingyao asked with a smile, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"I was out for a walk with Tang Fengyi and met An Liangdi by chance." Ling Yue explained slowly.

An Liangdi and Tang Fengyi took a small step forward and respectfully greeted Su Jingyao.

An Liang Di raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a brilliant smile, and said: "Sister Concubine, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so radiant."

"Sister An is still so sweet, and you are so radiant."

Su Jingyao smiled, her eyes fell on An Liangdi softly, with a bit of intimacy.

After saying that, Su Jingyao slowly turned her gaze to Tang Fengyi.

Tang Fengyi was wearing a light blue dress today. The dress fluttered gently, making her look very charming.

"Tang Fengyi doesn't seem as thin as when I first met him."

When Tang Fengyi heard what Concubine Su said, she was shocked, and then she tried to keep herself calm.

He said calmly, "Maybe I've been feeling a little tired lately and don't want to go out much, so I've become a little rounder."

There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Su Jingyao covered her mouth and chuckled, her laughter was clear and pleasant.

She smiled and said, "I was just joking with Sister Tang. Sister Tang is still very pretty and charming."

Her eyes were full of smiles, making people feel her sincerity and kindness.

When An Liangdi heard the concubine say that Tang Fengyi had lost weight, she couldn't help but turn around and look at her carefully. It seemed that she was indeed not as thin as when she first entered the Eastern Palace.

There was a thoughtful look on her face.

Su Jingyao then said, "Sister, I'll go shopping for a while and then go back. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, she nodded slightly, turned around and continued walking forward.

Seeing this, An Jinyan hurriedly took her leave from the Crown Princess and quickly followed.

Ling Yue stood there, watching Su Jingyao and An Jinyan's gradually receding backs, a conflicted look flashing in his eyes.

She would not let An Jinyan go, but she did not expect that after she was released from the ban, An Jinyan would become so close to Su Jingyao.

A complex emotion surged in her heart, she didn't want to hurt Su Jingyao.

She will repay Su Jingyao's kindness at her birthday party.

An Jinyan followed Su Jingyao and lowered her voice and said, "Sister, do you know that Tang Fengyi has now become the Crown Princess?"

"Hmm? What does this have to do with me?"

Su Jingyao stopped, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently picked a hibiscus.

Then she brought it close to her nose and sniffed it gently. The elegant floral scent instantly lingered around her.

"Sister Concubine, I will not speak in secret. I want to stand on the same front with you."

There was a hint of anticipation in An Jinyan's eyes.

The Crown Princess is favored by His Highness, and Tang Fengyi can also please His Highness. An Jinyan is alone and helpless and is no match for them.

If Tang Fengyi gets pregnant again...

Thinking of this, An Jinyan felt a surge of worry in her heart.

A thoughtful look flashed across Su Jingyao's eyes. She frowned slightly, and her gaze became deep.

An Jinyan was indeed smart. Knowing that Tang Fengyi had curryed favor with the Crown Princess and that she was alone and powerless, she immediately went to find her.

Moreover, Tang Fengyi's expression today was very strange.

Because Su Jingyao is pregnant, she is very familiar with some of the subconscious reactions of women during pregnancy.

She had just casually tested Tang Fengyi. Although her expression did not show any obvious changes, Su Jingyao still keenly noticed the momentary stiffness of her body.

It seems that Li Jing has to test Tang Fengyi.

If Tang Fengyi was really pregnant, An Jinyan would not have an easy time. It was understandable that she was so eager to stand on her side.

But what good is she?

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes, as if immersed in the fragrance of flowers.

"Sister An, I just want to give birth to an heir to the throne and I don't want to get involved in your fight."

Su Jingyao gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes radiating maternal light, and her gentle eyes seemed to be able to melt everything.

An Jinyan quietly leaned close to Su Jingyao's ear and lowered her voice.

"Sister, don't you want to replace the Crown Princess and become the future Queen?"

"Sister has good looks, a good family background, and will have a prince in the future. Have you really never thought about that position?"

As she said this, An Jinyan narrowed her eyes slightly and stared closely at Su Jingyao's expression, not missing any subtle changes.

Su Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of complex emotions.

What An Jinyan said really hit the mark, but she wasn't going to take action yet, nor was she going to expose her ambitions.

She frowned slightly, and her voice was slow, like the gurgling of water.

"Sister An, the Crown Princess is His Highness's first wife. I have never thought about that position. Although the Crown Princess is estranged from me now, I always regard her as my sister in my heart."

There was a firmness and sincerity in his voice, but also a hint of helplessness and regret.

"Don't say such things again. I will pretend I didn't hear it this time."

Su Jingyao's expression was a little serious, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

An Jinyan knew that Su Jingyao was not as ambitious as she was, and what she said today was also a test.

She lowered her eyelashes and pretended to be pitiful and said, "Sister Concubine, I am also worried that Sister Crown Princess will bear a grudge against me. Now that she is so close to Tang Fengyi, I am really scared."

As she said this, a trace of sadness and fear emerged on An Jinyan's face. She lowered her head slightly, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

Su Jingyao sighed and looked at her with a little heartache.

"It's right for Sister An to want to gain His Highness's favor. The Crown Princess has a deep friendship with His Highness, so it's not wrong for her to be jealous of you."

"Why don't you two make peace?"

Su Jingyao's eyes were full of concern and expectation, as if she was really worried about An Jinyan.

"Sister Concubine, it's not that easy. Sister Crown Princess already hates me."

As An Jinyan spoke, she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was really crying out of sadness.

A conflicted look appeared on Su Jingyao's face, her brows were slightly furrowed, her lips were slightly pursed, and she seemed to be struggling whether to say anything.

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out.

Seeing this, An Jinyan quickly asked, "Sister Concubine, do you have anything to say?"

Su Jingyao sighed softly again, as if filled with endless worries.

"Sister An and I have the same pain since entering the East Palace. I don't want to see you like this. I saw Tang Fengyi today and I always felt that she seemed to be pregnant..."

Hearing this, An Jinyan's heart suddenly jumped. She opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Tang Fengyi is already pregnant? !

An Jinyan stared at Su Jingyao with astonished eyes, as if she wanted to confirm with her.

Su Jingyao shook her head.

"This is just my guess. If Tang Fengyi really did what my sister said and went to the Crown Princess' side, and if Tang Fengyi is really pregnant but hasn't announced it, Sister An, you have to be careful..."

Having said that, Su Jingyao looked at An Jinyan with worried eyes, as if she was worried about her.

An Jinyan naturally understood the unspoken meaning of Su Jingyao's words. If the Crown Princess intended to use the child in Tang Fengyi's belly to deal with her, then she...

No, she needs to be prepared early!

There was a gleam of fierceness in An Jinyan's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, so fast that it was almost imperceptible.

Seeing this, Su Jingyao said softly, "I'm tired from walking today, so I'm going back."

An Jinyan forced a smile on her face and said, "I'm sending you off."

Su Jingyao slowly turned around and left, her posture light and graceful, each step carrying a sense of leisure and ease.

There was still a gentle smile on her face, but behind that gentle smile, there was a barely perceptible hint of cunning and complacency.

Today's trip really opened her eyes and she watched a wonderful show.

She originally thought that in the fight between An Jinyan and Ling Yue, An Jinyan would be the first to make the first move.

But no one expected that Ling Yue would win over Tang Fengyi so quickly after the house arrest was lifted.

This move was really beyond her expectations, and it forced her to look at Ling Yue differently.

There was a playful gleam in Su Jingyao's eyes, an expression of someone enjoying a good show.

She raised her chin slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

If Tang Fengyi was really pregnant and the Crown Princess had been hiding it, then she probably wanted to give An Jinyan a surprise at the Crown Prince's birthday party in half a month.

But her reminder today has made An Jinyan begin to doubt Tang Fengyi, and it is still unknown who will win between the two.

This situation is becoming more and more interesting, it's really exciting!
