"You are Ling'er's mother. Are you still worried about being bullied by Ling'er's wife?" The emperor sighed helplessly. He didn't understand why Concubine Li had such great hostility towards the girl from the Su family.

Not wanting to argue with her on this issue, the emperor fixed his eyes on the hairpin on Concubine Li's head and said with interest, "My beloved concubine, this hairpin looks really nice today."

Seeing that the emperor didn't want to continue this topic, Concubine Li had no choice but to continue the conversation along with the emperor's topic. She didn't dare to offend him.

Concubine Li reached out and touched the colorful glazed gold hairpin on her head. "This was a gift from the Minister of Rites, Lord Shen, for my birthday a few days ago."

The Shen family also has a little daughter. I heard that they wanted to send her to the Fifth Prince's house before, but no one from the Shen family in the palace can do that. She had offended the Fifth Prince's biological mother some time ago, so the Shen family naturally turned her down.

Now it seems that they are planning to target her.

Although she didn't like the one from the Su family, she didn't think the one from the Shen family was easy to get along with. She still wanted to find someone who was easy to control so that she could sit back and relax.

"The Minister of Rites has good taste, and this hairpin suits you. However, it's best for you, the concubine, to avoid interacting with court officials." The emperor changed the subject, his expression darkening. "My great-grandfather feared the harem being too involved with the imperial court. Too much involvement can easily lead to trouble. Concubine, it's best for you to just stay in your proper place."

Concubine Li knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, I dare not do that. I swear on my entire family that I have no other intentions. Please understand your majesty."

"Don't panic, my dear."

The emperor laughed.

He reached out and helped Concubine Li up from the ground, then handed her a cup of tea.

The palace maids serving him were sweating profusely. The emperor's words just now had made it very clear that Concubine Li should not have accepted the gift. If it happened again, the whole family would probably be in danger.

When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.

What's more, noble people are the most suspicious.

Once the seeds of doubt are sown, it will be very dangerous.

"Your servant pays homage to the Emperor and Empress Li." The Emperor's personal eunuch came in from outside.

"What's wrong?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, news has come from outside the palace that Princess Jiarong is pregnant, and the Third Prince has publicly acknowledged the child."

Concubine Li felt a headache when she heard the title of Jiarong County Master. Her face had originally darkened, but when she heard the following words, her pupils trembled. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say? She's pregnant?"

"You mean, Ling'er recognized the baby in her belly in public?"

"Let Ling'er enter the palace, let him enter the palace immediately."

"My beloved concubine." The emperor reached out and pulled Concubine Li to sit down. "This is a double blessing. Although the child came a little early, Ling'er and the girl from the Su family are engaged, so it's okay for them to behave more intimately. Besides, the crown prince and several other princes, and all the women in the harem, none of them are pregnant. People are talking about it a lot. The girl Su's child came just in time."

……

Morning light

The sun shone through the branches onto the bed, and Su Wanyue was still curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly.

Her fair, slender legs were bent, and her sideways posture made her look like a little hedgehog, curled up and feeling insecure.

Xiao Changling lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping woman.

He lay on his side beside her, looking at her level, his beautiful peach blossom eyes gazing at the woman tenderly.

Charming but not coquettish.

Delicate and pretty.

Even when she was lying quietly like this, there was a hint of charm between her eyebrows and eyes. Her pretty face was full of allure, like a noble and seductive little fox. The slightly upturned corners of her eyes alone were captivating.

"Wan Yue."

He called her in a low, trembling voice, "Wanyue... Wanyue..."

Every cry is tender and charming.

I just wanted to pour out all the longing that had accumulated over these days, and integrate it all into his voice calling me.

Xiao Changling lowered his eyelids slightly.

His fingertips slowly rolled over Su Wanyue's brow bone and red lips.

The little fox was sleeping soundly, and perhaps she felt uncomfortable, so she subconsciously rubbed towards Xiao Changling.

In a sweet dream

She unconsciously spread her arms, like a koala, and hugged Xiao Changling's waist, rubbing herself into his arms.

Then, she moaned softly and tenderly: "Xiao Changling, Xiao Changling."

"I'm here." Xiao Changling responded in a low voice. He held Su Wanyue in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and gently patted her back to comfort her. "Xiao Changling is here."

In the dream, Su Wanyue hummed as if in response.

She held Xiao Changling's arms tighter, "Xiao Changling, I'm scared."

Xiao Changling...

I am afraid.

The corners of Xiao Changling's eyes instantly turned red.

He looked at the soft and tender girl in his arms. She came to him under such circumstances, and she must have thought that he could protect her, but he broke off the engagement. She must be very sad.

She was such a proud little girl, willing to cook for him, deliver medicine to him late at night, climb through the window to see him late at night, and take the initiative to show her affection, but in the end, she was broken off.

She must have been very sad that night, and probably hid herself and cried secretly.

Xiao Changling's heart couldn't help but ache. He hugged Su Wanyue tighter and rubbed his chin against her head.

……

"Xiao Changling."

Su Wanyue woke up in Xiao Changling's arms, and felt a gentle caress on her back, as if something was patting her rhythmically, as if to comfort her.

"You're awake. How do you feel now?" Xiao Changling asked her with concern.

Su Wanyue did not forget what Xiao Changling had said before.

She deliberately put on a sullen face and said in a cold tone, "Didn't the Third Prince say that we wouldn't have any contact in the future? What's going on now?"

"Stupid fox, what are you doing? Your mission is to give birth to a child for Xiao Changling. Why don't you seduce him now and stay with him? Do you want your child to be nameless and without status?" The system reminded anxiously.

Su Wanyue smiled faintly. Now is not the right time. Only when enough guilt is accumulated, the love will become stronger.

She also needs to find out who exactly wants to harm the Su family so that she can avoid this risk for the Su family and complete the mission.

As for Murong Yunlang, his retribution is not far away.

The little fox is greedy. She wants to complete the task perfectly and get all the rewards.

"It was all my fault before, and our engagement will not be cancelled. I have sent a pigeon letter to General Su to explain the matter. We will get married in a few days when General Su and Major General come back." Xiao Changling said in a gentle tone, directly admitting his mistake and going along with her wishes.

Su Wanyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her pretty face and looked at him strangely, "Do you know about that?"

She asked even though she knew the answer. Xiao Changling must have known that she was pregnant with his child.

Xiao Changling's arms around her gradually tightened, he was reluctant to let go, "I know everything about the child."

When asked, Su Wanyue's eyelashes trembled slightly.
