The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

The Gao family is now in its heyday, but there are many men in the Gao family. She and Gao Lian'er are the only girls. The Grand Tutor married Gao Lian'er to His Majesty, and she has been raised in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. There is no difference between her being a cousin or a biological sister.

But no one expected that Zhu Dingyuan would really become the emperor.

Her cousin even became a royal concubine.

If she wasn't so young... humph, she might not be the one doing the salute now.

Gao Jiamin suppressed her anger and bowed to her: "My sister is rude, please forgive me, elder sister."

Concubine Gao then raised her hand and said, "Okay, come and sit down."

Caiyue placed the tea in front of her and stood quietly beside the imperial concubine.

Concubine Gao: "What's wrong? Didn't you go to see Prince Duan Ze? Why are you so angry?"

"Eldest sister, Prince Duan Ze is clearly a sickly person. What do you mean he will be fine if he is taken care of? I saw him vomit blood just now. He won't live long!"

The uncontrollable arrogance in her eyes surfaced: "Your Majesty has a good relationship with him, but I have just reached the age of marriage, so am I going to marry a sickly prince who won't live long?"

"shut up!"

Concubine Gao frowned, Bai Tuan meowed, and she handed the cat to Caiyue.

He walked down and glanced at Gao Jiamin, his eyes filled with warning and frosty air.

Gao Jiamin was a little scared: "Jiamin said the wrong thing."

"You are the only girl in the Gao family now. Father and I naturally dote on you and look for a good match for you. I know you are arrogant, but can you make random comments about Prince Duan Ze?"

Her gentle and lovely face now had a fierceness that had never appeared before: "I and my father have our own plans for your matter. Always be careful to keep your tongue in the palace. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I can't save you."

Is this still her eldest sister?

Gao Jiamin was a little surprised and swallowed her saliva: "Yes... I always follow my elder sister's arrangements..."

Hearing this, Concubine Gao touched her face and said softly, "Eldest sister will naturally treat you well."

"Jia Min will go down first. I won't disturb my elder sister to rest."

After she left, Concubine Gao picked up Bai Tuan again and gave a lazy sneer.

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?" Caiyue asked.

"You are stupid and arrogant. You really think you are my sister. I know what she is thinking, but I am still here. Do you still want to climb onto the dragon bed?"

Caiyue: "Your Majesty, if His Majesty is willing, it is not..."

Concubine Gao's eyes fixed, "Caiyue, I am not Lingpin. The Gao family has me in their favor and my father is very relieved. Her personality will only cause trouble if she enters the palace. Is she worthy of it?"

"Yes." Caiyue realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly bowed her head: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Hua Ni closed the door and said, "That person just now looked a bit like Concubine Gao."

"My lady, she should be Concubine Gao's cousin. I heard that His Majesty intends to marry her to Prince Duan Ze." Baoer smiled and put the food on the table.

"This Grand Master is really smart. He puts all his eggs in different baskets."

One married His Majesty, and the other married His Majesty’s younger brother.

Baoer asked: "What kind of eggs? Do you want to eat eggs? I will make them for you later."

Hua Ni looked at the light dishes and felt that they were much better than before. At least they wouldn't upset her stomach.

Whenever Concubine Gao was angry, she would starve her. She would wolf down the food that the Queen sent her, alternating between being hungry and full. She smiled bitterly.

"Eat it. It's hard to get things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These are already very good."

She asked Baoer to sit down, without caring about the hierarchy between master and servant.

Baoer's eyes moistened: "It's all my fault that I'm incompetent. I can't even get something."

Hua Ni smiled and tapped her forehead: "You are so cute, who would be afraid of you when you get angry?"

Bao Er smiled shyly and put the vegetables into her bowl: "Fortunately, Concubine Zhao is very thoughtful. The things she asked Tao Xi to send last time can be exchanged for silver, so she can give me a reward. Otherwise, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not give me this charcoal."

Zhaoyue, there was a flash of warmth in Hua Ni's eyes.

"Bao'er, have you given me the recipe?"

"The Imperial Concubine has accepted it, young master. After teaching you today, you can finally have a good sleep. I hope that by then the Imperial Concubine will be favored and treat you better."

Baoer was about to cry again as she spoke.

Hua Ni took a bite of the food and suddenly her stomach started churning and she vomited.

Baoer was startled: "My dear! What's wrong with you!"

She handed the water over, Hua Ni took a few sips, then took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Is my period late?"

"Yes, my lady didn't come last month." Bao'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "My lady, could it be..."

"Don't make a sound." Hua Ni took a breath, "Maybe my stomach is upset."

She looked at the food on the table and said, "I have no appetite. Let's remove it."

Baoer cleaned up the food obediently.

Hua Ni stood up and sat on the small couch, looking at the half-opened book, which was His Majesty's poems.

She used to be a dancer and had seen many sisters who were pregnant. She was 80% sure that she was pregnant.

"Bao'er, you have a good relationship with Miss Taoxi. Find a way to ask Concubine Zhao about the day to check her pulse, and then tell her that I want to see Concubine Zhao on that day."

"Yes."

Hua Ni picked up the book and read softly: "It makes me think. If I don't think, how can I not think..." (Meaning: Love is a irrational thing. If reason is useful, what is the point of love?)

A smile rose at the corner of her mouth and she closed the words.

Unexpectedly, this ruler of the world, the suspicious emperor, still has one.

A heart that yearns for pure love.

-

Ningzhu Pavilion.

"Sister Taoxi, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent someone to get the satin for winter clothes. I heard that it was specially ordered by His Majesty. It is made of Dingzhou cotton wool, which is very warm."

Taoxi came out and said, "Ahem, let me go. You've been so busy these few days since I was sick. You go and serve the young lady."

Qiu Ju shook her head: "It's okay, just running a few steps."

Taoxi pinched her face and said, "We need to pick some fresh flower petals for the honey tea that the young lady loves to drink. If we all run away, what will happen if Xiaoquanzi is the only one who can handle it by himself?"

Qiu Ju then said, "Okay, my lady loves to drink the tea made by Sister Taoxi. The jasmine honey tea she made last time was really fragrant."

Taoxi blinked: "I left you some fresh fish soup, don't you want to try it?"

"Sister Taoxi, you are so nice! If anyone marries you in the future, it will be a blessing for eight lifetimes!"

Qiuju clung to her and acted coquettishly, then hurriedly ran towards the fish soup.

"You slow down!"

Taoxi took the flower basket and her face turned red. She didn't care whether she would get married or not. She wanted to stay with the young master for the rest of her life.

But if... I think of that man who is as clear as pine and cypress, speaks appropriately and in a gentle voice.

Her face turned even redder and she quickly reached out and wiped it.

She was not in a hurry for the things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it would be difficult to pick flowers in the Imperial Garden as it was getting dark, so she left Ningzhu Pavilion and headed towards the Imperial Garden, walking quickly.

At the small door of the palace road, she bumped into a figure as soon as she stepped through it. She quickly reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve: "Hey!"

"Cough cough cough..."
