As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

When the concubines in the West Three Palaces heard that the Queen was pregnant, they felt that it was a godsend!

The queen is pregnant and cannot sleep with him, so why don't they take this opportunity to try their luck!

The status of the concubines was very low, and they had no special means to get in front of the emperor, so they could only walk around in the harem all day long, hoping to meet someone by chance.

It's a pity that I have never succeeded in meeting His Majesty, but I have met the Queen more often.

The palace maids were waiting under the corridor. The pavilion had been surrounded by silk cloth to protect it from the wind and snow. Musicians were playing the guzheng and singing girls from the music school were singing gentle tunes softly.

The Queen was wearing a brocade cloak with green cloud patterns and leaning against the couch. She had her thick black hair tied up with only a red gold phoenix-tail hairpin and no other embellishments on her body.

She closed her eyes, as if taking a nap, with a pretty face and lips as red as cinnabar.

The three concubines who were traveling together all felt an unspeakable bitterness in their hearts. The Queen was twenty-six years old this year, and the past two years had not made her old, but made her more charming.

Since God loves her alone, why didn't he say it earlier? Let them waste their time in this harem, which is no different from being a widow!

The palace maids of Yongding Palace had already spotted the three people. They walked up to them quickly and quietly, bowed and half bowed, and said in a very low voice, "Lady Cainu, the Queen is taking a nap. You don't need to go over to pay respects. Please leave quickly."

"We dare not disturb Her Majesty. We will leave now." The three of them had no choice but to leave.

After they left, He Yue opened her eyes and looked at Hui Qing lazily.

The musicians and singers from the Imperial Music Bureau stopped at the same time and stood aside with their heads bowed humbly.

Hui Qing brought a cup of tea at just the right temperature to moisten the queen's throat, "It's the three concubines."

He Yue sat up straight, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, without asking any further questions, and said in a light voice, "Xiao Bi has been changing shifts too frequently recently. What is she doing recently?"

"Your Majesty, most of the funds in your private treasury are used by His Majesty. Xiaobi is leading the palace maids to sort out the funds." Huiqing explained for Xiaobi.

The private storehouse book of the Empress was previously managed by the chief eunuch Guan Gonggong. His actions were instructed by His Majesty. So when the Empress needed something, she would take it from His Majesty's private storehouse. This shows how caring His Majesty was for the Empress.

Although His Majesty and Her Majesty now have their private vaults separately managed, His Majesty has said that anything that Her Majesty can use should be put into Her Majesty's private vault.

Besides, the queen was pregnant, so His Majesty would come to accompany her whenever he had time. Xiaobi would have to spend more time with Eunuch Guan, so she took this opportunity to hide away.

Now, all the palace people are saying behind the back that Xiaobi is relying on the Empress' favor and has no sense of propriety. How can a personal maid be absent from duty so often?

"Didn't Xiaobi bother you for help?" He Yue asked, feeling puzzled, as this was not like Xiaobi's character.

Hui Qing pursed her lips helplessly, "Of course there is, but this time I really can't help her, Madam, the book I manage is different from Xiaobi's. The reason why I can sort it out quickly is because I have carefully consulted with Guan Gong."

"But..." Hui Qing hesitated, "Xiao Bi is avoiding Guan Gonggong, how could she possibly get close to him?"

"It's good to suffer a little, so that you can learn from it." He Yue said calmly.

He Yue raised her hand and touched her abdomen. It was just the first month, and there was not even a bulge. Her face was calm and her voice was soft and compromised. "Ask the palace servant to find the embroidery book I used before. I want to embroider something."

What does the sins committed by the father have to do with his children?

Since you have accepted your fate, be nice to your child. You can't expect him to have the same personality as Ning Rushong when he grows up.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hui Qing was a little surprised. It had been a long time since Your Majesty had done anything herself.

…………

In Yongding Palace, Xiaobi was busy as hell. Some precious items that had been damaged due to being stored for a long time should be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for repair, and she was checking them one by one.

"Aunt Xiaobi, what should we do with this wooden sign?" a palace maid asked.

The palace maid was holding a talisman tied with a red string, on which was written a word with a red pen. The talisman was covered with dust, so it was difficult to see what the word was.

Xiao Bi took a quick look and asked, "Is there a record book?"

The palace maid hurriedly shook her head.

Xiao Bi said irritably, "No need to record it, you can dispose of this wooden sign however you want!"

If the unregistered items in the palace need to be re-registered, they would have to trace their origins, but Xiaobi finds it too troublesome!

"Yes, Aunt Xiaobi." The maid left holding the talisman.

When they got outside the hall, the palace maid slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off the talisman.

On the slightly old card, there was a word "He" written in bright red ink!

The palace maid did not throw it away immediately, but waited calmly at the palace gate for a few minutes.

When the emperor and his court officials finished dealing with state affairs and returned to Yongding Palace, the palace maid pretended to be anxious and rushed out.

Wherever the emperor went, the palace servants knelt humbly, their backs pressed into the dust, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Before Ning Rushong entered the palace, he heard Xiao Guanzi scolding the palace maid behind him.

"You are in such a hurry. If you disturb His Majesty, you will lose your life! What are you hiding in your sleeves?!"

"Eunuch Guan, I am innocent!" The maid anxiously presented the talisman, her kneeling body trembling, "It was Aunt Xiaobi who sent me to dispose of this talisman!"

Xiao Guanzi sneered, raised his eyebrows, and stroked the word "He" with his fingers. The trap that Xiao Ye dug for Xiao Bi was so big and so vicious. He was worthy of being his disciple!

Xiao Ye Zi is the name of the little eunuch.

Xiao Guanzi entered the hall with the talisman. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground with a worried look on his face. "Your Majesty, Xiaobi asked that palace maid to throw away this talisman. I don't know what to do with it, so I came to report it!"

Xiao Guanzi raised his hands above his head and held the talisman high in his hand.

Ning Rushong, who was sitting in front of the desk, stood up and took the talisman. His expression suddenly changed, becoming sinister and full of hostility.

This was the talisman that he and Yueyue had prayed for at the He family's private temple, praying for them to stay together for the rest of their lives.

It turned out that he had wanted to stay with He Yue forever and never be separated again.

"Have you found out?" Ning Rushong was furious, and pressed his cold white fingers on the word "He" on the talisman.

"I have already inquired clearly!" Xiao Guanzi did not dare to delay and replied quickly, "Xiao Bi was too lazy to register, so she made the decision without consulting the Queen."

"The talisman was placed in the innermost layer of the box by the Queen Mother for safekeeping. How dare the palace servants touch it on weekdays?!"

Xiao Guanzi spoke eloquently, pointing out how much the Queen Mother valued the talisman and how she was unaware of the matter. He also magnified Xiaobi's audacity and transferred all of His Majesty's anger to Xiaobi.

Ning Rusong calmed down, raised his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Cut this slave into pieces."

The emperor's majesty is inviolable. Xiaobi has already touched Ning Rushong's reverse scale.
