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

It was the beginning of summer in May, and it was drizzling. The remaining spring light was driven away, and the sounds of cicadas and birds chirping mixed together, making the day last longer.

The pavilion next to Nanxiang Pond was surrounded by a gauze tent, and the palace maids of Yongding Palace were quietly guarding outside.

On the low couch, He Yue dozed off with her eyes closed, listening to the summer sound of rain hitting the pond. Xiaobi knelt beside her, fanning her gently.

Your Majesty has been pregnant for six months and has become increasingly sleepy, but she has not experienced the hardships that women usually experience during pregnancy. It may be the result of Your Majesty's meticulous care, as Your Majesty seems to have lost some weight.

Huiqing was not here at the moment, and the queen had fallen asleep again. Xiaobi was extremely tired, and she looked outside. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she gradually leaned against the corner of the couch, and the movements of her hands also slowed down slightly.

Both princesses have already chosen their princes-in-law, but because of Young Master Duan's mourning period, Princess Yongrou has only exchanged letters to seal the engagement, while Young Master He has already asked the Ministry of Rites for a date in the spring of next year.

Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was in a hurry to prepare the inner and outer rooms for Princess Yongshan. All of them had to be prepared and shipped to the princess's mansion. Huiqing was in charge of some of the regulations to show the Empress's importance.

Half an hour later, the rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and light shone into the gauze tent. He Yue slightly turned sideways to avoid the light.

Xiaobi was so shocked that she immediately knelt down, her hands moving quickly, with an embarrassed look on her pretty face.

He Yue, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes and calmed down for a while before he finally woke up completely. He took his hand out from under the blanket and raised it slightly.

"Empress." Xiaobi hurriedly stood up and helped He Yue sit up, then ran a few steps to the table and brought tea of ​​the right temperature.

He Yue picked up the tea, took a sip and handed it back to Xiao Bi, "What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it should be noon." Xiaobi replied uncertainly.

Leaning her elbows on the soft pillow, He Yue looked outside. It was only May, but the water lilies in the Nanxiang Pond were already in full bloom. After the rain, they looked even greener with water droplets on them.

She stared at it silently for a while. Hmm, the color combination is really beautiful. After returning to Yongding Palace, she will ask the palace maids to find the green and lotus-colored jade beads so that she can make a bracelet-style collarband.

Nowadays, women pursue a slim and graceful figure, so loose dresses are more popular, and various styles of lapels are emerging one after another.

As for why He Yue made bracelet-style ones, it was naturally because she couldn't embroider the sachet style well, and she couldn't make the gold hook style. The bracelet style was the simplest.

Why is Ning Rushong not a woman? His face would look good in any jacket.

Xiao Bi took out a jade comb from the box and combed He Yue's messy hair. She looked at the beautiful face of the queen and asked in confusion, "My queen, why do you have to take medicine every day? I usually see that you don't have any symptoms of morning sickness."

"In the evening." He Yue said indifferently.

There was clearly nothing in the evening, Xiaobi complained in her heart, judging from the way His Majesty treated the Queen so closely, if the Queen was really suffering from morning sickness, His Majesty would definitely call the palace servants in to serve her!

"Then when you are not feeling well, you must call me in to serve you." Xiaobi muttered, spinning her fingers to show that she did not believe it.

"Yeah." He Yue responded with a faint smile, turned her head, lifted Xiaobi's face with her cool fingers, and looked at her.

Xiao Bi held the jade comb in her right hand in mid-air for a long time before putting it down. She twisted her hands together, not daring to lower her face, and spoke haltingly, "Madam... Madam, is there something I did wrong?"

He Yue shook her head and said indifferently, "You look a lot like a little palace maid who used to serve me, except that you are kinder and simpler than her."

Xiaobi picked at her fingers nervously, her eyelashes trembling. She thought of Xiao Taozi whom she had met at the Duan family, but she felt that they were not the same person. Xiao Taozi was too old and was not a palace maid.

What should I say, how should I say it? Xiao Bi didn't dare to look directly into the stern eyes of the Queen, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I dare not..."

Seeing her like this, He Yue put down her hand listlessly and said in a tired voice, "Why do you think Hui Qing didn't ask? Why didn't the other palace maids in Yongding Palace ask? You are the only one who is smart."

Perhaps even He Yue herself did not realize that her emotions were becoming increasingly cold and she was slowly losing patience with Xiaobi. She used to really like Xiaobi's personality and thought her pureness was rare.

"My servant, my servant!" Xiao Bi was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat. "My servant is not smart, I am stupid, Madam, please don't dislike me!"

Xiaobi cried almost heartbreakingly, with tears all over her face. Although she was stupid and spoiled, no one could doubt her loyalty to He Yue.

"Alas." He Yue sighed sadly, and finally told Xiao Bi his thoughts, "You can't tie yourself to me. I am not your reliable backer in the palace."

The crying stopped, and Xiaobi felt as if she had fallen into ice, her body straightening.

"Go outside the palace." He Yue didn't look at her. "Outside the palace, I will ensure that you will be rich and safe for the rest of your life. Don't end up like Xiao Lizi."

Someone should have a happy ending.
