The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

Xie Yaoqing's casual "OK" was like a spring breeze blowing through Xiao Chengxu's heart, instantly sweeping away all the disappointment and depression in his heart. He was refreshed, and looked at Xie Yaoqing tenderly with tenderness in his eyes. His voice was low, revealing an unconcealable doting and tenderness, "As long as you like it."

Xie Yaoqing felt a rush of heat in her ears, then she looked away as if nothing had happened.

From then on, Xie Yaoqing officially lived in the Qianqing Palace.

The reason why it is called formal is that Xie Yaoqing has always held the idea that she is only staying temporarily in the Qianqing Palace and will return to the Kunning Palace sooner or later. But Xie Yaoqing does not want to live in the Kunning Palace anymore and just wants to stay away from it. There are quite a few other vacant palaces, but Xiao Chengxu will not let her go, and Xie Yaoqing is too lazy to argue with him. It doesn't matter where she lives anyway.

Xie Yaoqing never compromised herself. Since she was going to live in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, her residence had to be decorated according to her preferences. All the decorations and furnishings that did not suit her taste were removed and replaced with items that suited her taste. After the hibiscus flowers in the yard were removed, some of her favorite gardenias were transplanted. In addition, Xie Yaoqing also had someone imitate the swing in the Kunning Palace and remake an identical one in the yard.

Under Xie Yaoqing's meticulous renovation, the Palace of Heavenly Purity had undergone a dramatic transformation in less than half a month.

Xiao Chengxu had no objection to this at all. He was cheerful every day and let Xie Yaoqing do whatever he wanted to change. Not only that, he was also keen to participate and offer suggestions.

Although many of his suggestions were not adopted by Xie Yaoqing because Xie Yaoqing simply looked down upon them, Xiao Chengxu still enjoyed doing so. He recalled the time when he was about to leave the palace to set up his own residence. From the beginning of the construction of the Prince's Mansion to its completion, he personally supervised and followed up on it, and finally he had a mansion that suited his taste.

It was a pity that the mansion did not survive as it was burned down by the Third Prince's faction in the fight for the throne. Xiao Chengxu felt unhappy when he thought of this. He and Qingqing had spent the best two years of their lives in that mansion. Now that the mansion was gone, their love gradually faded.

Fortunately, everything is now moving in a good direction.

Xiao Chengxu looked up at Xie Yaoqing, who was sitting on the swing not far away, squinting lazily, looking like she was about to fall asleep. Warmth flowed uncontrollably in his heart, slowly overflowing from the deepest part of his heart and flowing to every part of his body.

Xiao Chengxu's expression suddenly softened, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that the current situation was pretty good.

It would be enough for me to stay with my beloved for the rest of my life, to make her smile more, to be happy and joyful every day without worries.

Flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard, clouds roll and unroll in the sky, a lifetime is neither long nor short, the passage of time is sometimes so fast that one is caught off guard, and sometimes so slow that one cannot feel the change. Unconsciously, he has entered old age, his temples are gradually graying, maybe he can greedily dream that he can grow old with his beloved in this life.

……

Three years later, in the early spring, the sun was shining brightly and everything came back to life.

There were sounds of laughter and play coming from the imperial garden.

Xie Siyue, who has grown a lot taller, was brought into the palace again. She is still as cute as ever. With her around, Xie Yaoqing's mood always improves unconsciously.

"Auntie, look."

Xie Siyue ran over excitedly, holding an exquisite glass bottle in her hand.

There were two beautiful butterflies in the bottle, one was black and white with blue spots on its wings; the other was bright yellow, with its wings fluttering from time to time.

Spring is the season when all flowers bloom. The Imperial Garden is full of flowers, competing for beauty. Various colorful and fragrant flowers can be seen everywhere, forming a gorgeous and colorful sea of ​​flowers. The beautiful and bright flowers attract many butterflies to play. They flutter lightly among the flowers, lingering and dancing, forming a beautiful picture.

Although there are many butterflies, it is not easy to catch them. As long as there is a slight movement, the butterflies will fly away alertly. Catching butterflies requires certain skills and patience.

Xie Siyue had been busy for half an hour, calling on five or six palace maids and eunuchs to help. It took a lot of effort to catch this butterfly, it is so precious.

If Xie Siyue didn't really cherish her aunt Xie Yaoqing, she would have been reluctant to give it out.

Xie Yaoqing took the glass bottle, examined it carefully, nodded slightly, and said softly: "It is indeed very beautiful."

Hearing this, Xie Siyue's face immediately broke into a bright smile, with curved eyebrows and eyes, as if she had eaten the sweetest honey.

"You must be tired after playing for so long. Let's go back and have a good rest."

Xie Yaoqing took her little niece's hand.

Catching butterflies is not only a brain-intensive activity, but also a physically demanding one. Xie Siyue was also feeling a little tired at this moment, so she followed Xie Yaoqing back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

At noon, the aunt and niece had lunch together. Xiao Chengxu was preoccupied with government affairs, so he sent Feng'an over in advance to tell Xie Yaoyao that she didn't need to wait for him.

The dishes on the table were all prepared according to Xie Yaoqing's and Xie Siyue's tastes. The aunt and niece liked spicy food and sweet food respectively, so the spicy dishes and sweet dishes each accounted for half, and they ate their own food, which was quite harmonious.

Xie Yaoqing had just sat down at the table. In front of her was a plate of spicy and fragrant braised fish, which was the dish that Xie Yaoqing had specifically mentioned last night. It should have been very much to her taste, but for some reason, Xie Yaoqing was acting out of character today. Not only did she not have the slightest urge to eat heartily, she also had a vague feeling of nausea.

Just looking at the bright red braised fish, Xie Yaoqing felt it was too greasy, and she felt uncomfortable, so she quickly turned her eyes away. However, soon, Xie Yaoqing glanced over and found that the other dishes on the table were also very greasy and the smell was particularly pungent.

Xie Yaoqing tried to hold back, but ultimately couldn't control herself anymore. She turned her head away and couldn't help but let out a few dry heaving sounds.

Xie Yaoqing tried to hold it in, but couldn't, so she turned her head and couldn't help but dry heaving a few times.

"Miss."

"aunt."

A group of people soon gathered around Xie Yaoqing, all of whom were concerned about her health.

Knowing that Xie Yaoqing had no appetite for the food on the table, Nanny Fang quickly gave orders, asking the imperial kitchen to prepare some lighter dishes. Feng Ning had already cleverly run to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician.

The Queen Mother can't eat and has a poor appetite. This is a serious matter. If she doesn't call the imperial physician and the Emperor finds out, she will be punished with a stick.

At the same time, Xiao Chengxu had just finished discussing state affairs with the ministers. After the ministers left, a look of fatigue gradually appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyebrows.

Feeling hungry, Xiao Chengxu realized that he had not had lunch yet.

Just as he was about to call Feng'an loudly to serve the meal, he saw Feng'an walked in with a look of joy on his face. He could not hide his smile at all, and he looked as happy as if he had made a fortune.

Before Xiao Chengxu could ask, Feng An spoke up joyfully, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress is pregnant."

Xiao Chengxu was startled, stood up from the throne, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Feng An bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant."

"Are you serious?" Xiao Chengxu asked word by word.

"I dare not deceive the emperor without authorization. Imperial Physician Chen, Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Wang have all taken the Empress' pulse and confirmed that she is two months pregnant." Feng An replied.

For such a big matter, how could he, a small eunuch, dare to speak nonsense without any confirmed information?

Xiao Chengxu was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked outside.

Feng An hurriedly followed happily.
