The emperor glanced at the longevity chair placed outside the hall and pulled Zhen Huan into the hall.

"Doctor Zhang said that it's not advisable to move during the early stages of pregnancy. Why isn't Huan'er waiting for me at Suiyuxuan?"

"Thinking of the Emperor's hard work farming in the suburbs, I specially stewed some blood swallows and sent them to you for nourishment."

Zhen Huan held the emperor's injured hand with heartache.

"Farmers work in the fields all year round, and I was only away for a few days."

He took the lead in farming in order to encourage the bannermen to support themselves.

There was nothing in the previous dynasty that was not upsetting.

Naturally, he didn't want to talk about these things with Zhen Huan, so he started talking about poetry and songs instead.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Hua was throwing vegetable leaves to the fairy duck by the newly dug pond, and Songzhi walked forward angrily.

"Master, Consort Ke of Yanxi Palace is really going too far."

"Songzhi, keep your voice down. Don't scare my fairy duck."

She heard that spring is the season when ducks lay eggs, and she has been looking forward to a harvest.

Since her brother's death, Concubine Hua has also restrained her temper.

Now he has calmed down and has become more stable.

She calmly threw away all the vegetable leaves in the small basket, dried her hands, and looked up at Songzhi.

"Your Majesty, the maidservants serving in Lady Ke's room went to the Imperial Household Department today to collect some things, and they picked out the best items."

"I received a full kilogram of Lu'an tea and Tianchi tea, and 20 kilograms of red basket charcoal."

The daily allotment of red charcoal in the Empress Dowager's palace was only twenty pounds.

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and motioned Songzhi to continue.

"When I received the incense powder, I also took away your Huan Yi incense."

She said this in a low voice.

Hua Fei's eyes lit up, what a good grab!

However, we still have to make it clear in front of the emperor to avoid any hidden dangers.

"Songzhi, please make a detailed booklet of all the things that Concubine Ke has taken from the Imperial Household Department and the Kitchen in recent days that are beyond her allotment."

Concubine Ke took away a lot of things from the Imperial Household Department and the Kitchen, and Songzhi spent most of the hour copying them all.

As soon as the ink dried, she couldn't wait to present it to her master.

After looking through the pages, Concubine Hua saw that Songzhi had written the stolen Huanyixiang in an inconspicuous place on the last page in order of chronological order, and she smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Songzhi, go and ask if there are any other people in the Yangxin Palace? This palace..."

Zhou Ninghai hurried into the room and Concubine Hua stopped talking.

"Zhou Ninghai, is there something urgent?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Cao from Qixiang Palace has sent someone to report that Princess Wenyi has a high fever. Please help her."

Since it involved the royal heir, Zhou Ninghai did not dare to delay.

Wen Yi was born in the Yiku Palace. Although Concubine Hua had some opinions about Concubine Cao, the child was innocent.

Besides, the emperor ordered her to take over the palace affairs temporarily, so she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

"Zhou Ninghai, please quickly send someone to ask the imperial physician to examine Princess Wen Yi. Inform Consort Cao as well. I will report this to the Emperor immediately."

If I feel really sleepy, someone will hand me a pillow.

"Songzhi, come and help me put on my makeup."

Seeing that the emperor had to pay attention to his appearance, she was unwilling to be criticized even if she had to give up her former flamboyance.

"Put on some light makeup."

She thought for a moment and added.

"It can't be more bland than Concubine Shu's."

Otherwise, it would make her look like she couldn't afford makeup.

Concubine Hua silently decided to use her position to send a batch of high-quality rouge and powder to Yonghe Palace.

There is Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince, so let’s add a few more.

This was the first time she had gone to the Yangxin Palace since her brother's death. Walking down the long street, Concubine Hua took a deep breath.

Nian Shilan, who once ran happily on the long street, has disappeared behind the high palace walls.

With every step she took, her love for the emperor faded a little.

When he walked outside the Yangxin Palace, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

"Eunuch Su, please inform me that something big has happened in Qixiang Palace."

As soon as she saw Cui Jinxi, she knew Zhen Huan was inside.

The words of Hua Fei's request for a meeting rolled around on the tip of her tongue and came out without any pause.

The emperor has few children and attaches great importance to having offspring.

This is his weak spot and also the abscess in Hua Fei's heart. One day, she will burst it with her own hands and return all the rotten things inside.

As I thought about it, hot tears unconsciously rolled down my cheeks.

As soon as Su Peisheng went out, he saw Concubine Hua crying. His heart sank and he walked over slowly.

"Empress Hua, please tidy up your appearance."

"Your Majesty, please come in."

He reminded again in a low voice.

"The noble lady Wan is inside, and the emperor is in a good mood."

"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for the reminder."

Hua Fei wiped away her tears and gave Songzhi a look.

She walked into the hall with confidence and immediately bowed.

The emperor asked anxiously.

"Excuse me, Concubine Hua. May I ask what happened in Qixiang Palace?"

"Your Majesty, Consort Cao of Qixiang Palace has sent word that Princess Wenyi has developed a high fever. I have already sent the imperial physician to examine her, and now I am reporting this to you."

Concubine Hua glanced at Zhen Huan, who saluted her but was pushed back into the chair by the Emperor, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, you know that I, too, have lost a child. Princess Wen Yi was born in Yikun Palace, and I love her as if she were my own."

"Princess Wen Yi is suffering right now. I beg you to go and take a look."

At first, she wanted to use Princess Wen Yi's matter to annoy the emperor and make him lose patience to read the booklet.

But once I said it, the tears couldn't stop flowing.

When the emperor saw the fearless and bright woman so sad, he put down the tea that Zhen Huan had brewed herself, felt very uncomfortable and went forward to help her up.

"My beloved, I will go with you to Qixiang Palace to see Princess Wenyi."

Zhen Huan looked at the two people walking away hand in hand in front of her, her expression changed several times, and she followed behind silently.

Qixiang Palace is just behind the Yangxin Palace, and Yiku Palace is just behind the Qixiang Palace. She was afraid that the emperor would follow Concubine Hua and never come back, and leave her in the Yangxin Palace like last time.

Su Peisheng glanced at Concubine Wan, who looked unhappy, and asked Xiao Xiazi to follow her and serve her.

But he kept shaking his head in his heart, thinking that this person was far inferior to the Queen Chunyuan of that time.

I don’t know how long the master can maintain his freshness.

As soon as the group entered the Taiji Hall, Concubine Cao came to greet them with red eyes.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Hua."

She quickly glanced at Zhen Huan and greeted her in a low voice.

"Hello, Lady Wan."

"How is Princess Wen Yi?"

As the majestic voice sounded, the emperor signaled Cao Qinmo to lead the way.

"Your Majesty, the princess vomited several times during the day. The imperial physician sent by Concubine Hua said that young children are prone to illness during the change of seasons. They have examined the princess carefully and prescribed a prescription."

In fact, Princess Wen Yi was uncomfortable because she didn't wait for the Queen to come back and coax her to sleep on the night of the Queen's delivery.

But she couldn't tell the truth.

Ever since Princess Wen Yi started crying, Concubine Cao was afraid that the princess would catch a cold, so she closed the doors and windows.

As soon as you step in, you are hit by a strong sour and rotten smell.

Before the Emperor and Concubine Hua could say anything, a loud vomiting sound was heard behind them.
