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

Cold palace.

He Quan fed Zhaoyue sour cheese and said, "It was sent by Concubine Fang. It was made by Qin Yixin."

"It's delicious." Zhao Yue tilted her head and said with a smile: "Tell her not to worry about me."

"Zhu Dingyuan let the Queen Mother see Kong Yuan breaking his vows. The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and Concubine Fang is tending to her."

The yogurt in He Quan's hand was a little cold. He fed her a few mouthfuls and put it on the table, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Zhao Yue stared at him and asked, "Do you think Zhu Dingyuan is cruel?"

"He is just that kind of person." He Quan replied to her: "The throne is cold to the bone, and so is he."

He Quan chuckled, his eyes filled with the snow that could not melt in winter, and his eyelashes were clearly visible and trembled a few times.

He was thinking about another person in this cold winter: "In a sense, he is indeed the most suitable person to sit in this position."

Zhao Yue hooked her slender fingers around the beads of his necklace and teased him, "Yes, provided he is not crazy."

The coldness between He Quan's brows suddenly melted away.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the enchanting beauty pressed against his chest.

His cold body was getting hotter and hotter.

Zhao Yue suddenly realized it and wanted to move away from him, but he grabbed her wrist.

The man's heavy breathing was close at hand. He lowered his head and rubbed her cheek with the tip of his nose, feeling the blush spreading from Zhao Yue. He spoke in a low voice, as if bewitching: "Zhao Zhao..."

The yard was very quiet, with only the hem of the skirt hanging from the rocking chair, blown by the breeze into waves like the sea.

Just like Zhaoyue at this moment, his heart was beating faster and faster.

She tilted her head: "It's still daytime."

This cold palace has become a deserted place. He Quan looks well-dressed but cold-hearted, and is now going even further in this matter.

She wants a child.

But she needs to rest too.

Zhao Yue changed the subject: "Is there any news from Hua Ni? Also, is Princess Cassel on the way... um..."

He Quan steadied her, and took her into his arms, his voice hoarse: "I will tell you everything later..."

There were tears in Zhaoyue's eyes, and a hint of shame and anger flashed across them.

He really thought of her as a little white rabbit that was easy to bully.

She entangled her fingers around the man's beads and pulled gently, then He Quan let go of her lips with a hiss and looked at her with a smile.

"Who is the master?"

Zhao Yue tugged at the beads on the necklace around his neck again, sat on his waist, leaned over and asked, "Are those things you've been using these days what you read in Hua Ni's book?"

He Quan's eyelids trembled, his arms rested on the chair, his cross-collared shirt opened, revealing the outline of his strong and cold white collarbone.

He curled his lips: "Does your Majesty like it?"

He then asked, "Are you comfortable with my service?"

Zhaoyue let go of the beads, and her rosy-colored nails fell on the bridge of his nose, stroking his attractive mole.

He Quan rubbed her hand, but she stopped him: "Be obedient."

Looking up, her cloud-like hair and flower-like face were as charming as the moon and as enchanting as a demon. Her arrogant eyes were so chilling that one could only kneel down immediately and beg the queen to pity him.

Zhaoyue's fingers slid downwards.

His breathing rose and fell.

It was charming for a long time, with their breaths entangled and the white mist exhaled, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

The red carp in the pond swayed its tail, teasing the black koi to exhaustion.

He Quan vaguely heard her say, "Do you accept it?"

Why doesn’t Zhaoyue want Hua Ni’s notebook?

She would, and she would use the things from her previous life that she never wanted to use on He Quan.

This time she felt that these things could also be used to please herself.

It's not the so-called dirty trick of winning favor.

The corners of He Quan's eyes were red, and a few tears oozed out: "I accept."

-

Fengyi Palace.

Rui Xin sat on the stool with a happy look on her face. Concubine Qi sat next to her and she snorted softly.

This was the first time she didn't stand and wait on anyone.

The Queen's lips were a little dark, but she was in good spirits: "Xunqiu, have you sent the news to His Majesty?"

Xun Qiu: "My lady, Rui Changyi is pregnant, and I passed the news on."

Rui Xin lowered her head and said, "My queen, please call the imperial physician to see me again. I always feel like I'm dreaming."

Concubine Qi covered her belly and said, "With your status, getting pregnant with a dragon heir is like a dream, isn't it?"

The Queen glanced at her and said, "Concubine Qi, we are all His Majesty's concubines. What do you mean by status?"

Among all people, she felt that Concubine Qi was the most useless, but she was pregnant the fastest.

Concubine Qi stammered, "I..."

"I gave you a chance to bring the finished black fox cloak to see His Majesty. It was originally yours, but how come it ended up in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the one who got favor was an embroiderer from the Imperial Clothing Bureau?"

Concubine Qi's face turned pale: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." She bit her lip: "That embroiderer is eloquent, smooth-talking, and cunning."

Others embroidered flying golden dragons and two dragons playing with pearls on His Majesty's clothes, but she embroidered the Golden Crow and the stars, saying that it symbolized the emperor's grace that shines on all directions.

Your Majesty is not Buddha!

There is also the victory sail flag, which symbolizes being invincible in battle, and the pattern is even more outrageous, with the river bank and the sea water. It is said that when Your Majesty wears this cloak, he is wearing the vast rivers and mountains on his body.

Not even a single dragon was embroidered, but His Majesty was still tricked into saying that it was very creative.

The Queen was speechless and comforted Rui Xin: "Dr. Liu would not have made a wrong diagnosis. It is normal for you to feel anxious during your first pregnancy."

Rui Xin smiled, she stood up and bowed to the Queen: "If it weren't for the Queen, I wouldn't be here today. Thank you so much."

The queen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't mention the word 'slave' so often in the future. You are His Majesty's concubine, and you are also the blessed one who is pregnant with the heir to the throne."

Concubine Qi couldn't stand her flattering look and rolled her eyes secretly.

"It is time for me to take the medicine to maintain my pregnancy. I will take my leave."

After Concubine Qi left, the Queen looked at Rui Xin.

"Rui Changzai, what did you see the last time you went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Rui Xin's smiling face suddenly froze. She clutched her handkerchief tightly and said after a long while, "Your Majesty... Noble Lady Hua and His Majesty are in the Hall of Supreme Harmony..."

She lowered her voice: "Your Majesty drinks during the day. As soon as you enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the whole place smells of alcohol."

Xun Qiu looked at the Queen's expression and immediately signaled her to leave first.

After Rui Xin left, the Queen looked at the bare branches outside the window and said, "Xun Qiu, do you think His Majesty is genuine or just pretending?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps His Majesty is still sad. This Hua Ni is as charming as Concubine Zhao, so His Majesty will naturally favor her more."

"Really?" The Queen's eyes were a little confused. "But he performed the Zhougong Ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony... This... Has Your Majesty gone to see the Queen Mother?"

"No."

Xun Qiu consoled her: "If your majesty is worried, please persuade His Majesty and warn Hua Changzai to be careful."

"Hua Ni is still not pregnant. She said that Concubine Gao is going to take action against Concubine Zhao?"

"Yes, Lady Hua obeys the Majesty's orders and keeps nothing from her."

With her around, I can find out more about His Majesty's affairs.

The queen sighed and said, "Tell her to take good care of His Majesty's body."

Xun Qiu brought the things over: "This is a gift from Concubine Hua to the Majesty. It is a precious incense that is extremely hard to find. Concubine Hua knew that the Majesty did not like the smell of incense, so she sent this to you."

"Don't worry, Madam. Several imperial doctors have examined it. Imperial Doctor Su has examined it carefully and there is no problem."

Su Ziyun has now become the imperial physician serving the emperor and the number one person in the Imperial Medical Bureau. He has a simple temperament but superb medical skills.

All concubines and masters, even His Majesty, are treated equally.

Such people are not suspected of forming a clique.

The queen then sniffed it and found a natural herbal fragrance, which she liked: "The smell in this palace is indeed bland, so just leave it there."
