Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Hailan's death caused almost no commotion, and even the news failed to reach Yikun Palace.

Ruyi still dreams of becoming the queen every day, and even believes that the emperor will come to pick her up sooner or later.

They seem to have been forgotten.

The days passed by.

The date for the southern tour was finally set.

Yihuan's belly has been getting bigger and bigger.

Wei Yanwan had already collected the cards in Yihuan Palace and even warned that no one was allowed to play cards with her.

It is not good to always sit in the same position when you are pregnant. It is not good for both the fetus and the mother.

It's because some people have no self-discipline at all. Don't let them get involved in the cards, otherwise ten cows can't pull them away.

Because of this, Yihuan didn't speak to Wei Yanwan for several days.

Yihuan was drinking tea when Wei Yanwan arrived at Chuxiu Palace.

"coming?"

"Calm down, it's really not easy for you to talk to me."

"Who do you think I am? Sit down."

Wei Yanwan was not polite either. She sat aside, staring at Yihuan's belly. She seemed to have thought of something funny and laughed muffledly a few times.

Yi Huan held the teacup in her hand and looked at Wei Yan Wan as if she were a fool. "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Originally, Jiang Yebin was supposed to be responsible for taking care of your baby, but now he can't even leave the house. I heard he's been vomiting a lot at home and can't eat anything."

"The last time he took my pulse, he was retching and said he was having morning sickness. I thought he was joking."

Who would have thought that a grown man would suffer from morning sickness for his wife?

Even He Xi, who was massaging Yihuan's legs, couldn't help laughing out loud.

-

Zhen Huan had been looking forward to this trip for a long time.

It's a rare opportunity to get out for a walk, and I'm in a very good mood.

However, it is inevitable that some people will set their sights on the palace and have inappropriate thoughts about it.

"Empress Dowager, you've been exhausted from the journey. Please take a good rest."

"I am traveling with the Emperor. He also has to inspect water conservancy projects and urge local officials to build dams. This is the most tiring part. The Emperor should also take care of his health and not work too hard all the time. It is okay to relax a bit and enjoy the spring scenery south of the Yangtze River."

But Hongli felt that he had no way to relax.

Wherever I go, there are always a lot of people following me, and I have no freedom at all.

From time to time, officials would send women to him. He wanted to refuse them openly, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Wei Yanwan, who was standing by, supported Zhen Huan and said sympathetically, "There are so many beauties in Jiangnan. They must be unique. I want to meet them all."

Zhen Huan glared at her, and Wei Yanwan shrugged and didn't say anything else.

Zhen Huan didn't want the emperor to be obsessed with these things. The women she arranged for the emperor were not in favor now. If some other vixen came in, she would have a headache.

"Princess Ling, please walk with me for a while. It's time for the Empress Dowager to go back and rest."

"Yes, I will walk with you."

Zhen Huan knew that the emperor did this on purpose, but she did not expose him. She just smiled and watched the two of them leave hand in hand.

"This Concubine Ling is truly quite capable. No matter what, she is the Emperor's favorite now. She is truly unrivaled."

"Empress Dowager, this Concubine Ling is not someone to be trifled with."

"I like to deal with smart people. She is one of them. I am quite interested in her."

When Zhen Huan thought about the good show tonight, she began to look forward to it.

"Fujia, is everything arranged?"

Fujia gave Zhen Huan a reassuring look, saying that everything had been arranged and there would not be any mistakes.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. The emperor has asked me to go back."

Only then did Fujia follow Zhen Huan back.

As night falls, the party begins.

Everyone was dressed in their best, and at this time two cruise ships were slowly approaching from the water.

The sound of stringed instruments is extremely pleasant to the ears.

One of the masked women played and sang by herself, and everyone showed expressions of appreciation.

In contrast, the woman on the cruise ship next to her was standing at the bow with a hunched back, holding a mushroom in her hand, and began to recite poetry.

"I immediately shook the mushrooms on the wall, and my heart was broken when I saw you~"

Hongli's expression was not good-looking, as if he had been fed slop.

Even Zhen Huan, who arranged this drama, looked unhappy.

Let her come out and express herself, but this is not the way to do it.

She is really shameless, muttering obscene words in public!

Concubine Qing stopped singing because this was completely different from what had been arranged before.

Just as she was about to complain, she noticed that this person was actually the empress who was appointed by the emperor to the Yiku Palace.

"How dare you! Who told you to follow me?"

Ruyi, who was far away, was so frightened by Hongli's angry shout that she couldn't hold the mushroom in her hand and it fell directly into the pond.

She blinked her eyes, her tone dry, as if puzzled and unwilling to ask, "Your Majesty, are you really planning to never see me again in your life?"

The look of her about to cry made Hongli's eyebrows twitch.

It was for the sake of my own face and the face of the royal family that I tried to bring the person back and lock him up in the Yiku Palace.

Now, the shame has come all the way to Jiangnan.

By then everyone will know what they have been up to.

The Empress Dowager really arranged a good show.

Ah!

In fact, Zhen Huan really wanted to explain.

She meant well but ended up doing something bad.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile the two of them.

Now it seemed that reconciliation was hopeless.

Because the emperor really disliked the queen from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, this should have been the chance for Concubine Qing to come to the fore, but now everything is messed up, a complete mess.

Wei Yanwan gave Meipin a playful smile.

You know, the other spot should have belonged to Concubine Mei. The Queen Mother intended to let her regain her favor, but she refused, so the three planned cruise ships were reduced to two.

"Emperor, you see, with so many concubines, you must treat them all equally. You can't favor one over the other. What if you make the old ones feel disappointed?"

"Mother, I was inconsiderate. I will correct myself later. That's all for today."

Wei Yanwan noticed Hongli's displeasure and spoke up in time, "Your Majesty, I and the others also want to go back and rest."

This kind of banquet is the most boring. Apart from singing and dancing, it's all singing and dancing. It would be more interesting to go back and eat some melon seeds and chat.

And we also have to leave Hongli room to get angry.

Jin Yuyan was also surprised to see Ruyi appear here, but she was more gloating.

She wanted to see some fun, so she walked slowly, but she didn't expect Hongli to directly order someone to kick her out.

When only Ruyi was left here, Hongli could no longer hold back his anger and slapped Ruyi in the face.

"Snapped!"

Ruyi opened her thick lips slightly, covering her cheek that had been slapped high, her eyes wide open as she roared at Hongli in disbelief, "You actually hit me!"
