She glanced at Fucha Langya and continued, "I also hope that Fujin will get married soon and give birth to a legitimate son for the prince."

Qingying's words made Fucha Langya clench her fists slightly in her sleeves.

She would never think that Qingying's words were a sincere blessing to her.

The other party probably hopes that she will never get pregnant.

And Qingying deliberately mentioned the golden lotus bracelet. Did she already know the true identity of the bracelet? Was she warning herself?

When she thought of this, Fu Cha Langya suddenly felt a little flustered.

His expression also turned a little ugly.

I suddenly lost the courage to stay in Qinglan Courtyard.

She stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. I will return to Qionghua Courtyard first."

She really wanted to ask the prince to follow her back to Qionghua Courtyard to rest early.

But as a concubine, she also knew that if she did something like this to actively seek favor, wouldn't she completely lose face?

Desire is not scary. What is scary is that you have desires in your heart, but you deceive yourself for the sake of some meaningless so-called face.

That means there is only one way to go, which is to sink.

Hongli was still immersed in the joy of Qingying's pregnancy, so how could he think about what his wife was thinking?

Hearing this, he just nodded and said, "Okay, it's cold outside, Fu Jin, please walk slowly."

Such unhesitating words made Fu Cha Langya feel even colder in her heart.

But the words have been spoken, what else can I say now?

I could only bow my knees and say, "I'll take my leave."

Not long after Fu Cha Langya left, Su Lujun also stood up and said goodbye.

Qingying held the handkerchief in her hand and called out to Su Lujun, then turned to Hongli and said, "Your Highness, I am not feeling well and cannot serve you. Sister Su usually accompanies me a lot, but today, Your Highness will have to trouble you and talk to Sister Su on my behalf."

Su Lujun looked shy when she heard this.

Hongli twirled the string of jade beads in his hand, showing no intention of refusing.

"Since Qingying has said so, I naturally cannot refuse. You should take good care of your pregnancy. I will report the good news to the Emperor tomorrow and then come to see you again."

"Yes, I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."

After they both left, Qingying's body softened and she leaned against the soft pillow behind her.

"Xiu Xia, ask the doctor from the Zhang residence to come tomorrow and tell him that I'm not feeling well and need to rest. It's not convenient for me to see anyone."

Xiuxia understood Qingying's meaning, nodded in agreement, and never mentioned it again.

……

Jingren Palace.

The queen received the news early in the morning and ordered people to go to the Yangxin Palace to invite the emperor to her palace.

Obviously, Hongli had not yet had time to inform the emperor of the news.

Hearing the Queen's invitation, the Emperor was reluctant to go to Jingren Palace.

But thinking that there had been no memorials from court officials recommending Hongshi as the crown prince recently, and considering the Queen's face, he finally got on the sedan chair to Jingren Palace.

Just as he entered Jingren Palace and sat down, before he could open his mouth to ask what the Queen wanted to see him about, Jianqiu hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has arrived and has something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, the Queen naturally knew the purpose of Hongli's hasty visit.

For a moment, he didn't have the urge to take the initiative to talk about Qingying's pregnancy.

She raised her hand and said, "It's rare for this child to come to my place. Jianqiu, please invite the Fourth Prince in."

The emperor would not refuse.

After all, this son is almost one of his only two choices.

After a while, Hongli hurried in with a happy look on his face.

He walked closer and knelt down with a plop. "Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, and to the Empress."

The emperor showed no emotion on his face, so naturally it was the queen who spoke at this moment.

He raised his hand and said, "Kid, why are you being so polite for no reason? Get up quickly."

There was a rare hint of intimacy in their words.

Hearing this, Hongli was secretly delighted.

"Your Majesty, I thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Hongli thanked him and stood up, saying, "I have rashly entered the palace today because I have a happy event that I must tell you about. I beg Your Majesty, Father and Mother to forgive me."

"Since it's a happy event, how could the Emperor and I blame you? Just tell me directly."

The queen's gentle words made Hongli feel even happier.
