How did my host die?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is here." Xuan Cao came in and said.

Concubine Shen, what’s going on? I have no connection with her.

"Let me in."

"May your Majesty, Concubine Rong be well and safe."

"Sister Shen, please get up quickly. Why is Sister Shen here? " Duoduo asked directly.

"Empress Rong, I am here to see you. You and I entered the palace together, and I have never visited you before."

Look at the child in Duoduo's arms.

Shen Meizhuang was full of envy. Concubine Rong was really lucky to give birth to a prince in one go.

"Empress Rong, can I see the young prince?" Duoduo looked at Shen Meizhuang, a little confused.

This person has hardly spoken since he entered the palace. Why did he come here today and take care of the child?

However, since it was her own territory, Duoduo was not afraid and gave the child to Shen Meizhuang to hold.

"Empress, you have raised this little prince so well." Shen Meizhuang was very happy holding the child.

"It's not that I raised him well, it's all because of the wet nurse."

"That's also thanks to my queen, you take good care of me."

Duoduo didn’t know what to say to Shen Meizhuang as the two of them were not familiar with each other.

"Lady Shen, why didn't you go to see Lady Wan?"

"Lady Wan, I'm going too." Shen Meizhuang didn't say anything. She had hardly seen Lady Wan during this period.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"Greetings, His Majesty." Shen Meizhuang bowed.

"Noble Shen, why are you here?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I and Concubine Rong entered the palace together. I came to see Concubine Rong." Shen Meizhuang said.

"Well, you can come and visit Concubine Rong more often if you have nothing to do. She is in confinement after childbirth, and it's fine for her to be alone." The emperor gave the order directly.

"Your Majesty, what can I do for you?" Duoduo asked.

"Why, can't I come to see you when I'm fine, Rong'er?" said the emperor.

"No, I just thought that the emperor would be very busy, why did he always take time out to visit me."

The emperor was very pleased to hear Duoduo's words. All women wanted him to be with them, but Concubine Rong was different. She cared about him.

Shen Meizhuang was very surprised when she saw how the emperor and Duoduo got along. She never expected that the emperor and Concubine Rong got along like old friends in private.

No wonder Concubine Rong was so favored. Even though the emperor didn't favor her much, Concubine Rong was always included in every reward, without missing a single one.

Shen Meizhuang watched the emperor talking to Duoduo and felt like an outsider who couldn't fit in.

"Your Majesty, I, the concubine Rong, will take my leave first."

Shen Meizhuang walked out of Qinghe Garden quickly.

"Caiyue, I didn't expect Rong Fei to be so powerful."

This was something Shen Meizhuang had not expected.

The emperor and Concubine Rong get along so naturally that no one else can blend in.

"Your Majesty, since you came, there are no beauties left here."

"My beauty, you are so beautiful as me. Even though she is the mother of a child, she is still so naughty."

The Emperor was thinking about Concubine Shen, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

Looking at the son in Duoduo's arms.

The emperor does not have many offspring and does not have many sons, so he still wants more children.

"Rong'er, you have given so much for me." The emperor said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, how can you say that? Everything I have was given to me by Your Majesty."

The emperor said nothing.

Just holding Duoduo's hand and looking at her.

Duoduo was afraid when she saw the emperor's eyes. He didn't care that she was still in confinement and was willing to do something to her.

"Rong Fei, take care of yourself. I'm going to get busy now." The emperor said and left.

Duoduo sat there with a confused look on her face.

"Mammy, what do you think happened to the emperor?" Duoduo asked Mammy Fangcao.

The nanny also looked stunned. Could it be that the emperor came to Qinghe Garden just to say these few words?

The emperor came to see Duoduo because Duoduo had never been close to the concubines in the harem and was always alone.

When I heard that Shen Meizhuang went to Qinghe Garden, I was worried that something might happen to Duoduo.

I didn't expect they were just chatting.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor must have come because he heard that Concubine Shen was coming." The nanny expressed her guess.

It was really strange today. The Emperor came but didn't say anything. After Concubine Shen left, the Emperor also left, as if to give the Empress confidence. This is what the nanny guessed.

If Duoduo can’t figure it out, she won’t think about it anymore.

After Shen Meizhuang returned, she talked to Caiyue about what happened today.

"Caiyue, the concubines in the palace all say that Concubine Rong is not favored. I saw today that the emperor and Concubine Rong get along with each other, and I am afraid that the queen doesn't even get to treat them well."

"My lady, are you okay?" Caiyue asked worriedly.

Knowing this, I might as well not have suggested that the young lady go to see Concubine Rong.

"Caiyue, I'm fine. I just feel like everyone has been deceived."

Shen Meizhuang had seen how the Emperor and Zhen Huan interacted before, but she was never as shocked as she was today.

Touching her belly, Shen Meizhuang became more certain of her determination to have a child.

No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you must have one.

"My lady, you just need to take care of yourself. You see, Concubine Rong hasn't been close to anyone since she entered the palace." Caiyue still didn't want Concubine Shen to get involved with Zhen Huan again.

"Caiyue, I know, but Huan'er has a friendship with me since childhood, and I don't want her to wither away in this deep palace."

Hearing Shen Meizhuang say this, Caiyue knew that her mistress still hadn't given up on Zhen Huan.

"My lady, but Concubine Wan is now..." Caiyue didn't want to say it directly. Every time you go to look for her, Zhen Huan is never there.

Caiyue couldn't believe it was such a coincidence.

As for Zhen Huan, she has been feeling lost ever since Prince Guo left.

"Jinxi, when do you think the prince will come back?"

"My queen, the prince has his own things to do, how could he stay in the garden all the time?"

Jing Xi now has some opinions about Zhen Huan. Although she doesn't treat her servants harshly, she thinks about love every day.

Zhen Huan also knew that what she did was wrong, but the prince was one of her rare confidants.

"My lady, you should focus on the emperor. You saw the garden, but the emperor didn't even think of me."

This is Shen Meizhuang coming.

"Huan'er, you weren't here the several times I came. What were you busy with?" Shen Meizhuang asked with concern as soon as she came in.

"Sister Mei, I'm not busy. Maybe I was out when you came."

What happened between me and the prince cannot be told to anyone.

"I'm glad you're okay. The emperor will wait until Concubine Rong is out of confinement before returning to the palace." Shen Meizhuang came to tell Zhen Huan about her news.

After hearing this, Zhen Huan decided to wait until Concubine Rong was out of confinement to see if she could see the prince again.

"Huan'er, what are you thinking about?" Shen Meizhuang asked when she saw Zhen Huan was silent.

"Sister Mei, I'm fine. I just thought it was right for the emperor to do this. Concubine Rong gave birth to a prince for the emperor. We can't let Concubine Rong stay in the garden with the child."

"Yes, the emperor is really good to Concubine Rong."

When Zhen Huan heard Shen Meizhuang say this, she thought she was just jealous and didn't say anything.

"Sister, you are favored and well-off, why are you still envious of others?"
