As soon as I arrived at Shoukang Palace, I could hear the Queen Mother's laughter coming from outside the palace.

I don’t know who could make the Queen Mother laugh so hard.

Tang Mingzhu heard the voice inside and walked in after the maid reported it.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I pay my respects to you." Tang Mingzhu bowed to the Queen Mother very respectfully.

The Queen Mother was delighted when she saw Tang Mingzhu.

"Good boy, now that you are pregnant, you don't need to bow to me. Forget about these etiquettes!"

Tang Mingzhu stood up happily. She had been in high spirits since she became pregnant. Not only had the Crown Prince softened his attitude towards her, and the two of them were expected to return to their former ways, but the Crown Prince had even been visiting her room more often recently.

Tang Yu stood up and saw that there were not only the empress dowager and the nanny beside her in the room, but also Liu Ruoyun sitting below the empress dowager.

The most surprising thing is that the third prince is also here. The third prince is the son of the imperial concubine.

The Imperial Concubine was the most beautiful woman in the capital and was favored by the Emperor alone. One should know that the Emperor paid the most attention to legitimate and illegitimate children.

Even so, the imperial concubine provoked the queen several times, but she was only given a light punishment.

This is enough to show how favored the imperial concubine was.

Even though many people knew that the emperor absolutely intended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the next emperor.

However, there are still people who rely on this seemingly non-competitive Third Prince.

Tang Yu glanced around calmly. The third prince had a gentle appearance and a pretty face, very much like the imperial concubine.

If it were a woman, she would be extremely beautiful, but this face looks a bit feminine on a man.

When Tang Mingzhu looked up and saw her mother was there, her tone became even more excited.

"Mother, you are here too. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't even come to the East Palace to see me."

Tang Mingzhu acted coquettishly, walked up to Liu Ruoyun, took her hand and accused her.

The Queen Mother looked at this heartwarming scene with a kind and satisfied expression.

The Third Prince said upon seeing this, "This humble servant greets the Empress."

The third prince looked at Tang Mingzhu with a complicated and ambiguous look.

Tang Yu was standing behind him and just happened to see this fleeting look.

Tang Mingzhu, the one sitting at the top, turned around and realized that the Third Prince was also there, so she calmed down a little.

Tang Yu stood in an inconspicuous place at the bottom with no one paying attention to him, and began to think about the current situation.

The Queen Mother is a very unclear person. For example, it was really inappropriate for a grandmother to interfere in her grandson's bedroom affairs.

Not only that, I heard that many years ago, less than five days after the emperor and empress got married, the empress dowager took it upon herself to send three concubines to the emperor and forced the empress to accept them, saying otherwise she would be jealous.

In the end, it was the Queen who had the courage to call the Emperor, who was still a prince at the time, and asked him on the spot whether he would accept the emperor or not. The Emperor refused at the time, and although the Queen Mother made a fuss for a few days, she finally compromised.

The third prince left without saying a few words, but before leaving, he glanced at Tang Mingzhu who was chatting and laughing with Liu Ruoyun.

Among the people present, Tang Yu was the only one who saw this scene.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Of course she knew why the third prince was like this.

Presumably, in his eyes, Tang Mingzhu had become someone who could be used.

At the top, Tang Mingzhu was still happily talking to Liu Ruoyun.

Most of what she was talking about was how she could take care of herself so that she could give birth to the baby smoothly when the time comes.

Tang Mingzhu blushed.

Liu Ruoyun lowered her eyes and noticed Tang Yu's presence, her eyes narrowed slightly.

After a while, Tang Yu was called away by the nanny beside Liu Ruoyun.

Nanny Wang beside Liu Ruoyun looked Tang Yu up and down as if he were a commodity.
