The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ..."

"I'm not dead yet, don't call me back."

Qingzhu: ...

Realizing that Qingzhu was helpless, Yun Zhining waved her hand.

"Help me get some warm water first. I want to wash myself and then change into clean and comfortable clothes. It's too uncomfortable now."

"Okay, wait a moment, Madam. I will ask someone to bring some water right away."

After washing and changing clothes, Yun Zhining's mood improved.

But when Qingzhu saw the water dyed red, his mood was no longer so good.

"My lady, you were pregnant this time, didn't you realize it at all?"

"With so much going on lately, how can I take care of myself?"

"Besides, Doctor Chen said that I hurt my body when I gave birth to Strawberry and Pomelo, and I might not get pregnant within three years. I didn't take it seriously. Who could have thought that something like this would happen?"

"It's a pity for this skirt, it's so beautiful, but it's stained with blood. I guess it can't be washed clean, so I can only throw it away."

Qingzhu: ???

No, my queen, you just had a miscarriage, can you please focus on this? Why are you caring about a blood-stained skirt?

Not right.

There's something really wrong with her!

Qingzhu looked her up and down carefully, and a guess emerged in his mind.

It is very likely that the queen did not have a miscarriage.

Or maybe she was not pregnant at all, but just used some means to create such an illusion to avoid being framed.

If that's the case, that would be great.

At least the queen's body will not be harmed, and her mood will not be affected.

Thinking of this, her mood improved a lot.

"Don't be sad, madam. Tomorrow morning I will take the skirt to the laundry. There are people who are responsible for washing this kind of clothes. They have special methods to wash the clothes clean."

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."

After tossing and turning all night, Yun Zhining was exhausted. Her mind was a mess and she couldn't think anymore. After cleaning up, she fell asleep.

She didn’t know if it was because someone had died, but she didn’t sleep well the whole night. When she woke up in the morning, she felt cold all over. She opened the window and saw that it was snowing.

She closed the window and asked Qingzhu to put a few more braziers in the room.

Qingzhu did as she was told and took the clothes to the laundry.

But not long after he went out, he ran back in a hurry.

"Why are you so panicked?"

"My lady, why don't you go out and take a look yourself."

Yun Zhining went out with a lot of question marks on her head, and saw Qi Yejing sitting under the palace gate, sleeping against the cold wall next to him.

Her heart trembled, and she subconsciously tried to feel his breath.

Fortunately, the breath is warm, so it should be fine.

"Your Majesty, wake up, Your Majesty, ..."

"Aning, why are you in Longqian Palace?"

"What is Longqian Palace?"

Yun Zhining rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly.

"This is Qingning Palace."

"Why are you running to Qingning Palace late at night instead of sleeping well in Longqian Palace?"

"You came here but didn't even knock on the door. Are you trying to freeze yourself to death and then frame me?"

"How did it get to the point of frame-up?"

"I can't help it. Once bitten, you'll be afraid of the rope for ten years. What happened last night was really scary. I still haven't recovered from it."

"What happened last night?"

The sharp sword split the clouds and mist, and Qi Yejing woke up instantly.

"Didn't you have a miscarriage last night? Why did you run out here instead of staying in your bedroom?"

"Your hands and feet are so cold, are you trying to get sick?"

"Why are you so disobedient?"

Yun Zhining rolled her eyes even more.

"Okay, let's stop laughing at each other."

"It's too cold outside, let's go in quickly."

"it is good."

Qi Yejing nodded and pulled Yun Zhining in.

When she passed by Qingzhu, she saw her holding the skirt that Yun Zhining wore last night, and frowned slightly.

"This skirt is stained with blood, why don't you throw it away?"

"The queen likes this skirt very much and is reluctant to throw it away, so she asked the servant to take it to the laundry department to clean it."

"It's all stained with blood, can it be washed clean?"

"Just throw it away. I'll ask the clothing department to make her an identical one later, isn't that enough?"

"How can that be done?"

Yun Zhining took his hand, shook it gently a few times, and said coquettishly.

"Even if you make a new one, it won't be the original one. I just want the original one."

"Why did you insist on having the original one?"

Yun Zhining's eyelashes trembled slightly and her voice became much lower.

"Because that dress was made of the material you gave me when I was made a concubine."

"That was my first time wearing a purple dress. Even if I made a new dress later, I didn't feel the same as before."

There was a rule in the Daye harem that only concubines and above could wear the three colors of red, yellow and purple. Others, even the nine concubines, were not allowed to overstep the mark.

Yun Zhining had worked hard to climb up from the ninth concubine to the position of imperial concubine. In order to attend the New Year's Eve dinner, she carefully prepared a skirt and put it on happily, wanting to show up in front of everyone. However, before the whole night had passed, she encountered such an incident and suffered such a great injustice.

She wanted to keep it, probably to commemorate the child who sacrificed himself to save her.

Thinking of this, Qi Yejing's mood became even heavier.

"Okay, since you can't bear to throw away this skirt, let Qingzhu take it to the laundry department and ask the manager to find someone capable to wash the clothes."

"If she really washes it clean, I will reward her with one hundred taels of silver."

Qingzhu slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"If I had known you wanted to reward me with a hundred taels of silver, I would have washed the skirt thoroughly even at the cost of my life, so that this good thing would not flow into the hands of outsiders."

"She is really just like your queen, a greedy girl."

"Forget it, forget it. Today is the first day of the new year. I can't argue with a little girl like you. I'll ask Dong Ling to send you two hundred taels of silver as my reward."

Qingzhu was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Alright, alright, go and do your thing."

After sending Qingzhu away, he pulled Yun Zhining in.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, it started snowing. The snowflakes were quite large and scattered all over. Before long, the yard was covered with a layer of silver carpet.

When ordinary people saw this, they would immediately go into the house, but Yun Zhining not only did not go in, she also reached out to catch the snowflakes.

The snowflakes fell on the palms of my hands and quickly melted into water, leaving my hands cold.

Qi Yejing glared at her and said unhappily.

"You just had a miscarriage last night. Why are you running out here instead of just lying in bed and resting?"

"Qingzhu said that you stayed at the palace gate for an unknown period of time. Even your eyebrows were covered with frost. I was very worried about you, so I wanted to go out and take a look."

"I know you're worried about me, and I don't mean to blame you, but it's freezing outside, and I'm worried that you'll catch a cold and get sick."

Yun Zhining raised her lips and chuckled, but a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I once saw two lines of poetry in the Empress Dowager Xiaoci's palace. If we can get wet in the snow together one day, we can grow old together in this life."

"I am not the emperor's legal wife, and I am not qualified to grow old with him, but I have always had this extravagant wish in my heart. It happened to be snowing, so I wanted to use the snow to realize my wish."

"If something unexpected happens in the future, I won't regret it for the rest of my life."
