After they had gone far away, he tilted his head and asked, "Tell me, what does she mean by this?"

She is pregnant with a dragon son, and instead of staying in Yixiang Palace to keep the baby stable, it seems from her words that she wants to visit her more frequently, and her attitude is almost earnest.

Nanny Qian stepped forward and said cautiously, "Concubine Zhao's current position does not allow her to raise her own child, and she is not favored by Your Majesty... In my opinion, she may want to find a favored adoptive mother for her child."

Have a favorite?

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that for at least the next three to five years, there would be no woman in the harem who was more favored than her.

With her current status, she is also qualified to raise the children of other concubines.

After Madam Qian finished speaking, she carefully observed her expression. Seeing that she showed no dislike, her heart skipped a beat. She whispered, "Is your Majesty interested?"

Jiang Lingyue smiled but said nothing.

Madam Qian said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say one more word."

"You say," Jiang Lingyue turned around and sat down slowly with the help of Jinshu, smiling, "Madam, there is no need to be restrained. Since I have kept you by my side to serve, I treat you as one of my own. If there are any things I have not considered carefully, I also hope that you can point them out."

Nanny Qian said she dared not, but her expression relaxed a little. She advised sincerely, "Your Highness is in her prime and so favored. Sooner or later, you will have your own children. There is really no need to rush."

Every word and sentence is sincere.

Jiang Lingyue nodded slightly, "Mammy, what you said makes sense."

indeed.

In the eyes of others, given how favored she was, her future prospects were limitless. Her eldest son must be one of the most honorable in the harem. If she really raised someone else's child, what would happen to her own child in the future?

You have to know that she is only seventeen years old now, not twenty-seven and childless, so why should she be so anxious?

Especially since the emperor is still young and doesn't even have a prince, it's too far-fetched to think about fighting for the throne now.

But Nanny Qian didn't know that she would never have her own children in this life.

Not to mention that Qi Junyi was still using musk deer piercing technique on her, even if he felt pity for her and changed his mind about letting her give birth, she would not do so.

She was afraid of pain. The pain of a miscarriage was enough to leave a lasting impression on her. She thought she was stupid for having experienced it in her previous life, and she would never let herself experience it again in this life.

Nanny Qian thought she had given up the idea, and she felt a little relieved. Then, remembering what happened earlier, she smiled and said, "The Concubine Shu went to Guang'an Palace to look for His Majesty today. She must be counting on His Majesty to make the decision for her."

She reported all the news she had received and said with a smile, "Your Majesty treats you very well."

Jiang Lingyue listened quietly, but there was no joy on her face. Instead, her brows were slightly furrowed.

She was prepared to be ignored for a while, but she didn't expect...

It shouldn't be.

The Concubine Shu had the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, but she was just a newcomer with an unstable foundation. She had only been in favor for a few days and yet she dared to challenge the other party. That person did not help the Concubine Shu to teach her a lesson, but actually...

Going to Guang'an Palace was a humiliation for Concubine Shu. The emperor didn't even give her face, so how could she win the support of the people, let alone be in charge of the six palaces.

Jiang Lingyue felt a little complicated.

Did she underestimate the man's guilt towards herself?

It was obvious that in the first two years of his previous life, he had always just sat back and watched everything that happened in the harem.

When she was in a low position and had little say, she was bullied, punished, and held accountable, but he never asked a single question.

Or was it that her death was so tragic, and happened when he was least prepared, that he wanted to try to make amends by starting all over again?

This question was destined to have no answer. After all, she couldn't ask him directly.

Fortunately, the emperor's guilt was of great benefit to her.

After all, no one likes to be bullied or wronged.

The favor is a bit excessive, but if the emperor is willing to protect her, anyone who wants to trip her up will have to think twice.

Jiang Lingyue didn't care about anything else. The only thing she was worried about was who poisoned her in her previous life.

As they chatted, the sky gradually darkened and it was time for dinner. Under normal circumstances, the emperor would have come long ago.

If government affairs are too busy, someone will be sent to let us know.

She ordered, "Go and see if His Majesty is still in Guang'an Palace."

If that man had not ordered her to wait for him for dinner in the future, Jiang Lingyue would have had it herself and there would be no need to do such a thing.

Fortunately, Ning'an Palace was not far from Guang'an Hall. A short while later, the eunuch Dexi entered and reported, "Your Majesty left Guang'an Hall a quarter of an hour ago... He said he was heading to Shaoguang Palace."

As if afraid of his master's anger, Dexi's voice became inaudible at the end of his speech.

Jiang Lingyue was stunned when she heard this, and then she felt a sense of security that 'this is right'.

The emperor's visit to Shaoguang Palace not only ended her days of exclusive favor, but also warned her not to be arrogant due to her favor, and also saved some of Shufei's face.

She heaved a long sigh of relief, without a trace of resentment at being ignored, and ordered, "Serve the meal."

Jin Yu Jin Shu was thinking about how to comfort her master: "..."

Even Nanny Qian and Dexi were quite surprised by her reaction.

They are all veterans in the palace, and have seen many concubines complaining about themselves after being neglected. Even the most scheming and resourceful women cannot stand such a feeling of disparity.

Not to mention that their queen was just a newcomer who was favored when she first entered the palace. It was the first time she tasted the neglect. Not to mention that she was tossing and turning in fear, she was unexpectedly so calm.

But how could they know that Jiang Lingyue had already gone through all those sorrows and anxieties, and now she had become indifferent to them.

Acting in front of the emperor these days has been very exhausting. Suddenly learning that he would not come today, I felt a mixture of relief and tension.

Tonight I can finally be alone on my bed, without having to nestle in that man's arms like a submissive and dependent person. But in fact, I am very nervous, afraid that I will make a mistake and he will find out.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but smile.

When Qi Junyi came in, he happened to see this joyful look, and his steps paused slightly.

This man never allowed the gatekeeper eunuchs to be informed when he came to Ning'an Palace, so when the palace maids serving on the side saw him coming, they all panicked and knelt on the ground.

Jiang Lingyue also hurriedly put down the jade chopsticks in her hand, stood up and saluted. Before she could bend her knees, her arms were supported.

Qi Junyi glanced at the food she had touched and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent, thinking about how to say it so that her words would not sound jealous.

Just then, a palace maid brought some clean water. She took his hand, put it in the basin, and carefully helped him wash his hands.

She said thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I saw that Your Majesty had not come at this time, and I thought you were delayed by government affairs and forgot to send someone to inform me."

Qi Junyi didn't know whether he heard her or not. He let her wash his hands without saying a word. Taking advantage of the height difference, his eyes fell on her drooping eyelashes.

But the happy smile on her lips was still in my mind, lingering.

The bottom of his eyes gradually darkened.
