Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"Are you awake? Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Ji Xingyao sat up and yawned, casually tucked her messy hair behind her ears.

She had never been pregnant, but she had been preparing for pregnancy in Ruiping Palace for a long time and had more common sense about pregnant women than Wen Yuan.

The bladder of pregnant women is squeezed by the baby, so they need to go to the toilet more frequently than the average person.

"Yeah." Wen Yuan nodded.

Ji Xingyao immediately got out of bed and helped Wen Yuan up skillfully and nimbly.

Wen Yuan looked at her in surprise and said with a smile, "You've done this before. Your movements are so skillful that it makes you feel distressed."

Ji Xingyao laughed and said, "Which wealthy family can afford to hire me? After all, I am the principal concubine of the Ruiping Palace."

When talking about Ruiping Palace, both of them fell silent at the same time.

Before Nanny Li knocked on the door, Ji Xingyao put on a human skin mask and transformed herself into Wen Yuan's personal maid.

Nanny Li, who was wandering outside the door, had not slept all night. She had been waiting at the door an hour ago and only knocked on the door to remind the imperial concubine at her usual time of getting up.

Last night, after being kicked out of her bedroom by Wen Yuan, she trotted all the way to the Suhe Hall in fear to report to the emperor.

"How is the imperial concubine feeling?" Li Zhao asked without raising his head as he was reviewing memorials.

Nanny Li chose her words carefully: "The Imperial Concubine is very satisfied with Miss Ling'er. She looks better than before..."

"What?" Li Zhao raised his head.

The emperor's gaze was so heavy that it made Li Ma shrink her head.

"The queen looks more lively than before."

Li Zhao understood the implication of Li Ma's words.

Since Xiaoying's death, Wen Yuan seemed to have lost all his soul. He had no desires, was numb and listless, and had no interest in anything.

Before Ji Xingyao died, Wen Yuan would argue with Li Zhao in Suhe Hall over the issue of establishing a queen, and his voice was so loud that it could have blown the roof of Suhe Hall off.

That was the first time they had quarreled. Whenever Li Zhao thought about it, he still felt sorry for Wen Yuan.

But Wen Yuan at that time was alive, smart, and had an independent soul and pursuits.

Now she has lost all her spiritual energy, including her self-awareness.

Going with the flow and drifting with the tide is just a dull and boring life.

Li Zhao's gaze returned to the memorial, which read: Request the Emperor to appoint Princess Amire of Southern Xinjiang as empress as soon as possible.

The Princess of Southern Xinjiang has been in the palace for more than half a year. In order to maintain peace on the border, the ceremony of crowning the queen must be put on the agenda.

"The Queen's Coronation Ceremony".

Li Zhao looked at these four words for a long time. When the moonlight climbed up to the treetops, a word "准" (accurate) written so clearly that it could be seen through the paper fell at the bottom of the memorial.

In Yonghe Palace, after the door of the imperial concubine's bedroom was opened, everyone in the palace felt a subtle change.

The change came from Ling'er, a country girl who had never received any training in etiquette and manners.

Everyone thought that she was just lucky to have caught the Imperial Concubine's eye, and that it wouldn't be long before she made a mistake and was kicked out.

But this Ling'er is very smart.

She is well versed in all the palace rules and cannot find any mistakes.

She was not young, but because she entered the palace late, she always called everyone "sister" with a smile.

Even if someone wanted to tease her and pointed her in the opposite direction of the imperial kitchen, she would thank them sweetly, then turn her head and walk in the right direction without saying a word.

The palace maids didn't have many opportunities to tease her because the imperial concubine couldn't do without her.

The imperial concubine, who always liked to stay alone before, suddenly changed her personality and wanted Ling'er to serve her no matter what she did.

At this time, in the study, Ji Xingyao was lying in a rocking chair, eating yogurt cherries and complaining that they were too sweet.

"Sweet? I'll ask them to make another bowl."

"No, no, no, you know I don't like sweet things. This is specially made for you. It suits your taste."

After hearing what she said, Wen Yuan's long-lost appetite was aroused, and he ate most of the remaining half cup of cherries.

Just as he put down the dishes, Wen Yuan suddenly cried out "Ouch".

Ji Xingyao's expression suddenly changed, and he jumped up from the rocking chair: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
