"Well, starting tomorrow, you can go wherever you want.

Just let me be with you, whatever you do is fine."

Jun Xiaochen's bottom line kept dropping, and he was nothing like his usual cold-hearted self in the Tianqi court.

He simply couldn't be cruel to Xu Junjun.

Jun Xiaochen's attitude softened, and Xu Junjun's tone also softened:

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Junjun's temper came and went quickly. Knowing that her man no longer forced herself, she happily hugged his thin waist again.

Jun Xiaochen hugged her carefully, bent down and kissed her forehead, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

When Jiang Wumei returned to the palace, Xiao Tong was already waiting in the hall.

This was the first time Xiao Tong waited for her to come back, and it felt a little strange.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is back."

Seeing Jiang Wumei's figure, the eunuchs serving in the palace showed their great joy at surviving the disaster.

When the emperor came back from the imperial study, he didn't see the empress and his face was so dark that it could be used to grind ink. The hearts of those who served him were in their throats.

Now that the savior arrived, they were finally saved.

Xiao Tong looked up when he heard the voice and saw a graceful figure slowly approaching. The energy in his dark eyes instantly dissipated.

He stood up and strode forward, holding the woman's slightly cold hand, frowning:

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Xiao Tong's displeased gaze fell on the group of people behind Jiang Wumei, and Qingzhi and others immediately knelt down to apologize.

Jiang Wumei held Xiao Tong back, preventing him from venting his anger:

“Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with them.

It was because I wanted to go for a walk that the cool breeze came."

Xiao Tong's expression warmed up, he took Jiang Wumei in his arms and slowly turned back, pretending to be indifferent and asking:

"How is it, is Xu Junjun okay?"

If that person was in good health, maybe he could leave after the coronation ceremony, and no one would bother Niao Niao all day long.

Jiang Wumei blinked and turned to look at Xiao Tong. Seeing the casualness in his eyes, she suddenly understood:

"Junjun is doing well. The imperial physician and the doctor both said she is in good health and will have a safe delivery."

Xiao Tong nodded lightly, as if he didn't care at all, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart.

Over the next period of time, Xu Junjun went to the palace less frequently.

Jiang Wumei, on the other hand, would ask Qingzhi to go out of the palace every two days to check on Xu Junjun to make sure she was in good health.

The weather is getting colder, time flies, and in two days it will be the Queen's coronation ceremony.

These days, Jiang Wumei has to try on clothes and crowns every day as soon as she opens her eyes. She is so tired that her back and waist ache every day and has no time to leave the palace to see Xu Junjun.

Fortunately, at Xu Junjun's strong request, Jun Xiaochen finally agreed to let her enter the palace to accompany Jiang Wumei for a day.

So, the day before the queen coronation ceremony, Xu Junjun finally saw Jiang Wumei, who looked exhausted.

At first, Xu Junjun thought it was nothing, but after sitting in Fengwu Palace for a while, she saw at least five groups of palace maids carrying jade-ornamented phoenix robes and other items into the palace for Jiang Wumei to try on. Only then did she gasp in amazement and feel dizzy.

After waiting for a long time for Jiang Wumei to be free, Xu Junjun hurriedly called Qingzhi to open all the windows in the hall for ventilation.

She was almost suffocated by the fragrance of the flowers. If it wasn't for her best friend's happy event, she would have turned around and left.

"Niao Niao, your wedding is much more grand than when I married Jun Xiaochen.

Tomorrow is the Queen's coronation ceremony, can you still sleep tonight?"

Jiang Wumei leaned limply on the couch, pressing her temples with a headache on her face:

“Maybe it’s not possible.

Tomorrow at the hour of You, I must wear the phoenix robe and crown and depart from Fengwu Palace to offer sacrifices to the heavens outside the city. Calculating the time, I can only sleep for a little over an hour tonight, and that's if I can get everything settled during the day."

Xu Junjun felt a pang of disgust when she heard this:

"Then won't you have to go out and meet people tomorrow with two black circles on your head?

Forget it, I won’t go back home today. I’ll stay with you in the palace.

Tomorrow, after you and Xiao Tong leave, I will go back home to catch up on some sleep."

The most solemn ceremony of the entire coronation ceremony was when the emperor and empress offered sacrifices to heaven together and prayed for the Great Sage. The scene was magnificent and lively, but after hearing that there were huge crowds of people, Xu Junjun, who was very sensitive to smells, did not dare to join in the fun.

She was worried that she missed out on seeing her best friend's highlight moment and was now vomiting out all kinds of strange smells.

Speaking of this, Xu Junjun felt deeply regretful:

"Oh, if only I hadn't gotten pregnant.

At least I can see how awesome you look in your phoenix robe."

Jiang Wumei was amused by her choice of words:

"Didn't you just see it?

Tomorrow there will just be more people, it'll be a little noisier, and I'll be a little sweatier, but what else is different?"

The three of them comforted Xu Junjun, and she regained her energy and nodded with a smile:

“That’s what you said.

Anyway, I saw you wearing the phoenix robe just now, it’s worth it.

However, tomorrow is a big day in your life, and I have prepared a gift for you. I will have someone deliver it to the palace tomorrow, and you can...

You probably won't be free tomorrow night, so let's go the day after tomorrow. You can watch it the day after tomorrow."

Xu Junjun was so excited when she spoke that Jiang Wumei was infected by her. Her smile deepened and she nodded in agreement:

“Okay, I’ll watch it the day after tomorrow.

However, you don't have to stay in the palace with me tonight.

Tonight, Xiao Tong will return to the palace, and Qingzhi will serve him tomorrow. You will just be bored if you stay in the palace.

Later, you should go back home with Jun Xiaochen."

There are many people in the palace, and she is busy with the ceremony of coronation of the queen, so she may not have time to take care of Junjun. It is better to let her be with Jun Xiaochen.

Xu Junjun shook her head:

"No, I've already made an agreement with Jun Xiaochen that I must stay with you in the palace tonight.

After you leave the palace tomorrow morning, I will go back home with Jun Xiaochen."

Xu Junjun's face was full of determination. Jiang Wumei knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

"Then I'll have Qingzhi bring people to prepare a bedroom, and I'll send a few palace maids to accompany you when you rest at night."

Xu Junjun nodded, and the smile on her face became bright again.

It was rare that Xiao Tong was unable to return to the palace to have dinner with Jiang Wumei today. However, Jiang Wumei had received a message from the eunuch in advance, so she did not wait for him specially. She had dinner with Xu Junjun when the time came.

After dinner, Jiang Wumei accompanied Xu Junjun for a walk. After she had digested the food, she ordered Xu Junjun to be taken downstairs to rest.

Xiao Tong returned to the palace around midnight. When he stepped into the bedroom which was as bright as day, Jiang Wumei had just finished her work and was taking a bath.

The sound of water came, and Xiao Tong's eyes darkened. He waved away the palace maids in the hall and followed the sound to the bathing pool.

"Qingzhi, tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some food for the emperor to eat when he returns."

Estimating the time, Xiao Tong would soon return to the palace. Jiang Wumei thought it was Qingzhi who came forward to serve her. She stirred the water ripples with her fingertips and whispered instructions.

The charming voice echoed in the bathroom, and the vivid scene hit Xiao Tong's eyes. A ball of fire burned from his lower abdomen and quickly spread throughout his body.

"Green branch?"

Not hearing any response, Jiang Wumei turned around in confusion, but before she could see who was behind her, a shadow was cast in front of her eyes, and then her tender lips were kissed fiercely.
