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

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhu Dingyuan opened his eyes and looked at Zhaoyue who was sleeping beside him, with a smile in his warm eyes.

Zhao Yue moaned and looked at him: "Your Majesty..."

She sat up and said, "I will help Your Majesty change his clothes."

Zhu Dingyuan glanced at his pajamas and said, "Did Yue'er change them for me? Why don't I remember it?"

Zhao Yue looked at the mandarin duck patterned pajamas on him, and the image of him pulling her hand and asking him to put it on her flashed through her mind. She calmed herself down and said, "Yes, Yue Er changed it."

Zhu Dingyuan stood up and looked at her dressing him carefully and obediently, with a smile on his face: "I want to wear this to court, it will surely make people envious."

"I only know that it will cause the civil and military officials to look askance, and I am afraid that I will not be able to explain myself even with five mouths."

Zhu Dingyuan smiled and touched her cheek: "I have been busy with disaster relief work in Henan these days. I will come to see you when I have time."

Zhaoyue also smiled at him: "Even if Your Majesty does not come, I am not afraid, because Your Majesty left the most important things here." She pointed her finger at Zhu Dingyuan's heart.

"Yes, I think of Yue'er wherever I am."

After he left, Zhaoyue's face turned cold and she walked to the incense burner. There was no sign that anyone had moved it, and not even a single incense stick was missing.

She picked up the warm stone from the cabinet next to hers. The light in her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, until finally she revealed sadness. Her fingers gradually tightened and she placed the stone behind the incense burner.

The most secret expectation in her heart ultimately disappointed her. The ridiculous thoughts could finally be stopped, and Zhaoyue had a hint of self-mockery on her face.

This idea was ridiculous at the beginning. How could He Quan not be a eunuch? How was it possible?

Thinking that she had actually spent so many nights with Zhu Dingyuan and those dream-like scenes were just her fantasies, Zhaoyue suddenly felt sick.

Whether it was sleeping with Zhu Dingyuan or pretending to be nice to him again for revenge, she felt extremely disgusted.

Tao Xi came in and saw her face pale and vomiting into the basin. She was so scared that she quickly took a handkerchief and said, "My lady! What's wrong with you? Why did you vomit?"

She was so anxious that she brought some hot tea: "Don't be afraid, young lady. I will go find Doctor Su right away!"

Zhao Yue took a sip of hot water to rinse her mouth and held her arm: "I'm fine." She wiped her lips: "Did Doctor Su deliver the medicine?"

"It's delivered. There's an extra bag. They said it's what the young master requested last time."

Taoxi was extremely worried: "My lady, I'd better go and ask the imperial physician. You haven't eaten anything yet, why did you vomit? Did you eat something unclean again?"

"It's okay, go and boil the medicine and bring it over." Zhao Yue frowned again: "Change the things on the bed first."

"Yes." Taoxi didn't dare to ask any more questions. She quickly changed her clothes and ran downstairs to cook the medicine.

Qiuju went to the small kitchen to get something and saw Taoxi cooking medicine: "Sister Taoxi, do you want to help?"

Taoxi waved her hand and wiped her tears: "No need, just go ahead and get busy."

Seeing her crying, Qiuju asked hurriedly, "Sister Taoxi, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did something happen? I'll go to the young lady. The young lady loves you so much and will definitely make the decision for you!"

Tao Xi shook her head quickly: "No, it's the young master..."

"What happened to the young lady?" Qiu Ju's face instantly fell: "Is there something wrong with the young lady?"

"The young lady looked particularly pale this morning, as if she had encountered something particularly distressing. Just like the night when the young lady first entered the palace, her eyes were full of sadness, as if... as if she was particularly far away from me."

Tao Xi wiped her tears and said, "I have been following the young lady since the mansion. She didn't treat me as a slave, but said that I was her closest relative. At that time, the young lady had a bad temper and many people disliked her, but after entering the palace, the young lady became her former self again."

She looked at Qiuju: "You know, Qiuju, sometimes the young lady is always in a daze, and I don't know what she is thinking. When she smiles, there is no warmth in her eyes."

Qiu Ju hugged Tao Xi and said, "Sister Tao Xi, although I don't know what happened, the young master is the best master I have ever seen. The young master may just be in a bad mood. Let's go find Eunuch Quan, okay? He will definitely make the young master happy."

Tao Xi suddenly realized: "Quick, go find Xiao Quanzi!"

After drinking the medicine, Zhaoyue wrapped her head with a quilt, covering herself tightly.

Taoxi looked at her and said, "My lady, are you hungry? Qiuju and I have prepared a lot of delicious food."

There was no response. Taoxi took the bowl and said, "Then I will go out... If there is anything, please call me."

At the door, Qiu Ju calmed her breath and said, "I didn't find him. Eunuch Quan is not in the room, nor did he go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Taoxi gritted her teeth: "He disappeared at the critical moment! Qiuju, let's go find Concubine Fang. Maybe the young lady would like to eat the meal Qin Yi made."

"it is good."

In Fengyi Palace, Zhu Dingyuan came over to have dinner with the empress after the court session.

Her face was much rosier than before, and she had gained some weight. Because she was pregnant, she looked more dignified and gentle: "Your Majesty, this dish is good, please try it."

Zhu Dingyuan took a bite and said, "I see that you are in much better health than before. Is it because the medicine prescribed by that miracle doctor last time is good? Why not ask him to come to the palace to treat you?"

The Queen paused and put down her chopsticks: "I am taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician invited by Your Majesty last time. In my opinion, the miracle doctor in the Medicine King Temple is just a show-off."

Zhu Dingyuan laughed a few times: "Okay, as long as you enjoy your meal, my heir cannot have any mishaps." He picked up a piece of salmon with chopsticks and put it in the queen's bowl: "Eat more meat."

The queen ate the meat with sweetness in her eyes and looked at Zhu Dingyuan's warm face: "Your Majesty, did you stay in Ningzhu Pavilion last night?"

"what happened?"

"It's no big deal that your majesty favors Concubine Zhao, but since Master Ling sent his beloved daughter to the palace, your majesty still has to go and see her as usual."

"Lingpin's sister?" Zhu Dingyuan's eyes were calm: "I already have a daughter serving me, and he is willing to give me another one."

Queen: "Your Majesty, Lingpin's sister once saw Your Majesty at the autumn hunt, and she has been missing you ever since. Your Majesty loves his daughter so much that he couldn't wait until next year's selection to send his daughter to the palace."

"Really?" Zhu Dingyuan looked better after hearing this: "I'll go when I have time."

"Noble Lady Zhao is beautiful, but she is still young. Your Majesty dotes on her too much, so she may become arrogant and make those in the harem..."

"Queen." Zhu Dingyuan interrupted her coldly, his eyes quickly darkening.

He thought he could hear these words, but now, thinking about what Zhaoyue said, he is the Son of Heaven, the monarch, and he is in a high position, so why is he restricted everywhere and cannot do whatever he wants?

Why?

A feeling of irritation rose in my heart for no reason, and I threw my chopsticks on the table: "I am full, the Queen should take good care of her pregnancy in the palace. Since all matters have been handed over to Concubine Gao and the others, we should stop talking about old things."

The queen smiled stiffly and stared at his back blankly: "...Yes..."
