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

The queen stretched out her hand and tried to slide down from under the dragon robe. Her belly was already more than five months old, so if... it was not impossible.

However, Zhu Dingyuan stopped him with a low gasp: "Queen."

He stood up, looked at the woman's reluctant eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "When you give birth to a dragon heir, I will return the power of the six palaces and the Phoenix Seal to you. Be obedient, you know what I hate."

He patted her face and said, "I'm going to go see Concubine Rui."

The queen nodded and looked at his back as he left, her cheeks still red. As expected, as long as she showed kindness to Zhaoyue, His Majesty would tolerate her.

His Majesty said it was a marriage alliance, and her second brother hinted to her in words and deeds that His Majesty not only wanted a marriage alliance, but also wanted to swallow up Cassel.

If heavy snow continues this year, Henan's granary will have just recovered from the insect plague and will be hit by a snowstorm, making the transportation of grain extremely difficult again.

But if Your Majesty wants to fight, there is only one place with stored grain except Henan.

The monarch of Xishan was her mother's sister. Xishan was close to the border but far from Tianzhao. It was a place with water and grass, where people planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and engaged in farming and weaving. Although it was isolated, it was rich.

They don't work in winter, so they store food every year. Over time, their granary is not necessarily worse than Henan's.

She has already told her second brother that she has written a letter to Xishan, saying that if a war breaks out, Xishan will definitely lend a helping hand.

How big a splash can a princess without her maternal family make?

And her, His Majesty will definitely remember who helped him win the throne, her Nangong family, no one can compare to her!

No matter how the women in the harem change, her position as queen will never change.

Xun Qiu looked at her laughing face and asked in confusion: "My queen, will you really not embarrass Imperial Concubine Zhaochun anymore?"

He also swore an oath on his nine clans.

The Queen sneered: "I acted very well, you believed it."

Then Your Majesty must have believed it.

The Nangong Nine Clans, the poisonous oath, the joke, does she care about these?

“Wait until this princess from the grassland enters the palace, will our Pearl of the Central Plains still be able to laugh, huh?” The Queen put on the Buddhist beads: “Hahahaha.”

Xun Qiu laughed along, and thought of last night's humiliation, with a look of resentment on his face: "Your Majesty is wise."

"How is Concubine Gao now? Is she still alive?"

"Hua Changzai said the situation is not very good. It's still the same as before."

"What a pity! Now that she is gone, there is no one who can be as beautiful as Concubine Zhaochun."

Xun Qiu: "My Lady, isn't there still Lady Ning?"

"She took the medicine, but her stomach didn't move. Could she be infertile?" The queen frowned. "She has served Your Majesty for such a long time. Tell her that she can't hold Your Majesty and can't give birth to a prince. I don't want such a useless person."

Her eyes were grim: "If you are not up to the task, you might as well send it away!"

"Ning Guiren's father took the lead in the previous dynasty and made the matter of Concubine Zhaochun being a demon concubine a hot topic. He must have made great efforts."

The queen let out a sigh and nonchalantly fiddled with the parrot that had just been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"She has worked hard. There are many women with better family backgrounds than her. When she enters the palace, she will have no children or favors. How can she jump around? Her face will be so haggard."

Xun Qiu: "I will talk to Lady Ning about this."

"Before her face becomes completely useless, she must be pregnant with a dragon heir, no matter what method is used!"

"Yes."

A warm room in the side hall.

Rui Xin woke up from her bed and saw the bright yellow figure. She suppressed her joy and called out in grievance, "Your Majesty."

When she was pretending to be pitiful, her eyes were round and her body was petite, which didn't seem so fake.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her and said, "No need to bow. The doctor has already left. Have a good rest."

His eyes were indifferent, without any distress or pity, and no smile.

Rui Xin was not afraid. She mustered up the courage to call out to the man who was about to leave, the man whose words could decide her life, death, and status.

"Your Majesty, would you like to...see the flowers?"

Zhu Dingyuan stopped, hummed with interest, and turned around.

Watching Rui Xin stand up and hold the brush, her previous timidity was gone, and instead she had some of Hua Ni's charm.

He licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue: "You have grown a lot..."

-

Chuntang Palace.

Zhaoyue sat in a rocking chair, admiring the snow all over the sky. Her cheeks were charming and rosy, and the snow-white blanket wrapped around her made it even more difficult to take her eyes off her.

She is enjoying the scenery, and she is also the scenery.

Taoxi stood next to He Quan, staring at his master without blinking.

This gaze is too scorching, and it also carries with it an inexplicable sense of grievance and helplessness?

In addition to the low pressure he created, the maids in Chuntang Palace worked with their tails between their legs.

Tao Xi couldn't help it: "Xiao Quanzi, if you want to talk to the young master, just go ahead!"

He Quan didn't reply to her, but picked up the hot tea she was about to serve him. However, when he handed the cup to him, Zhao Yue turned her head away and even turned sideways very rudely.

Taoxi's mouth opened wide.

She was the first to see how cold the young master was to the young Quanzi!

She was the one who combed the young master's hair this morning, and even until now, she hasn't said a word to Xiao Quanzi.

Taoxi came to her senses and realized that Xiao Quanzi must have made his master angry!

"Taoxi." Zhaoyue shouted.

"The servant is here."

She closed her beautiful eyes lazily: "I am tired, please don't let these insignificant people bother me."

He Quan's eyes darkened, he handed the cup to Tao Xi and returned to the corner.

Taoxi felt particularly proud. Today, it was finally not Xiao Quanzi who was in charge of Chuntang Palace. She was obviously the one closest to the master: "Master, rest assured, Taoxi will stay with you every step of the way to prevent anyone from having bad intentions!"

There were many maids sweeping the snow at the door. For some unknown reason, they started to make a noise. Qiu Ju ran to the door to stop them, but was pushed to the ground.

She was helped in, and the little maid hurried to find Taoxi.

"What, Qiuju and others are fighting outside?" Taoxi was stunned.

"No, no, Sister Qiuju is injured."

Tao Xi lowered her voice and asked, "What, Qiu Ju was beaten?"

She rolled up her sleeves and said, "This is Chuntang Palace. Which servant is so desperate to cause trouble?"

Zhaoyue opened her eyes, and Taoxi quickly helped her up: "Master, I will go and take a look."

There was a dark light in her eyes, as if she was waiting for this to happen. Her red lips were slightly raised, and her body was swaying: "I am also curious, who dares to make a noise in front of Chuntang Palace."

When He Quan saw her leaving, he followed her.

There were only a few servants causing trouble at the door, and they were pinned to the ground by the Imperial Guards. Their faces flushed redly: "It was just a few jokes! Are you going to kill people, Your Majesty?"

"That's right! Everyone says that Imperial Concubine Zhaochun is kind and pure, so why do servants in the palace beat people up when they disagree with something?"

Wei Ruoming had just returned from his inspection. He looked at them, narrowed his eyes and drew his sword.

The noise gave him a headache, and as soon as he left for a while, these flies came back to cause trouble.

"Empress Zhaochun has arrived!"

Taoxi helped Zhaoyue out, and Qiuju was also standing beside them, with several slap marks on her cheeks.
