"That's the case, Miss Murong, you're pregnant!" The Queen Mother tried her best to ask this question normally, although there were already several children in the palace, but they were all girls. The Queen Mother really wants to have a grandson, or rather, a prince, so that the country can continue without loss.

"Pregnant?" Chen Xiaotian paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered what happened in the study that day, he looked up at Qin Mei, who was standing behind the Queen Mother, and couldn't wait to lower his head to the dust, not knowing how to reply.

Seeing her son's hesitation, the Queen Mother sighed, opened Qinmei, and asked her to make some dumplings for the kitchen supervisor. Qin Mei was not pretentious, and she didn't look at Chen Xiaotian, who was looking at her, and went down obediently.

Qin Mei's departure made Chen Xiaotian calm down a little. He loosened his neckline, squinted at the queen who was sitting like a mountain, thought about it, and gave the order to evict the guest.

"Your Majesty......" The queen looked at the queen mother with a face full of grievances.

The queen mother thought about it, and the queen, as the lord of the harem, should let her know about this matter and discuss it with her.

"Tian'er ......" The Queen Mother looked at Chen Xiaotian and found that her son gave her a look, and she was puzzled. After thinking about it, he asked Empress Gu to go to Imperial Doctor Xuan and take Murong Linshuang's pulse case, and then took Empress Gu, who was reluctant to leave, away.

At the same time, Chen Xiaotian also sent away all the servants in the house, thought about it, and told the Queen Mother what happened that day and his doubts from beginning to end.

If that's the case, the girl's scheming ...... It's too deep," the Queen Mother said thoughtfully.

"My son thinks that this matter has nothing to do with the queen." Chen Xiaotian continued.

The mother and son talked for a long time in the house. Seeing that, it was time for dinner.

The four of them gathered in the queen mother's bedroom again.

The queen mother asked the queen to arrange for someone to go to the palace to pick up Murong Linshuang early the next morning, and assigned the glorious work of taking care of pregnant women to the queen.

The queen happily agreed.

After dinner, Qin Mei said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and left the Queen Mother's bedroom under the gaze of Chen Xiaotian and Queen Gu.

Qinmei is quiet today, quiet not like her. Ning Xiang and Begonia looked at each other, wanting to say something, but neither of them spoke.

In the early summer, when the sun has just set, there is some coolness. The mantis in the garden didn't know where to hide, and squeaked vigorously.

Qin Mei walked aimlessly along the road. I didn't even notice that I had missed my way back.

Ning Xiang wanted to stop Qin Mei, but was about to speak, but was stopped by Haitang. Haitang shook her head worriedly, when the girl is in a bad mood, let her go away, it is estimated that it will be better.

Qin Mei suddenly felt a little sad.

I can't tell why. The scene at the Queen Mother's place was like a marquee, constantly circulating in her mind. There's nothing wrong with these things, but why, do you think it's so unpleasant?

During this time, she had been expecting Chen Xiaotian to come back soon, and now, he is back, but ...... She always felt that something was awkward, so awkward that she couldn't figure it out, where was it?

Suddenly, a chirping sound caught Qin Mei's attention, and she stopped, walked towards the place where the sound came from, walked to the bottom of the corridor, looked up, and found the source of the sound.

That's a nest of swallows.

Four or five fluffy little swallows poked their heads out of the nest, opened their mouths wide and waited anxiously for their parents standing on the eaves of the nest to feed them, squeaking and chirping.

Looking at it, suddenly she seemed to understand why she felt awkward. The family was happily discussing the child's affairs, she ...... How ridiculous it is that an outsider is stupid and stupid with a pestle on the side, not only obstructing the eyes of this family, but also making himself feel bad.

Thinking about this, Qinmei began to be confused again. Why the hell are you here? Wait? What are you waiting to see? What have you been doing in the past six months? See how God punishes himself? I'm not a masochist, so why stay? Stay and watch their children and grandchildren around their knees? Mother and son? Happiness knows no bounds?

The wind grew stronger, the clouds thickened, the insects gradually disappeared, and the sound of rain replaced the insects as the main rhythm between heaven and earth. A little bit of rain collected on her bun, and then ran down the strands of hair on her forehead, and for a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

Something hit yourself in the face? It seems to be raining. That's good, maybe you can make yourself sober, you're a big fool, waiting for someone who has no emotions to have feelings for you? What the hell are you looking forward to? What an idiot!

An umbrella, just like that, suddenly appeared, and naturally, it was covered on the top of Qin Mei's head.

It covered the raindrops, and also covered Qin Mei's vision of looking at the eaves.

It's just an umbrella, as if it helped her block the malice from the whole world.

Just stretched out so lightly, everything seemed to be a little different.

Raindrops, dripping on the eaves, dripping on leaves, dripping on the grass, dripping on the surface of oil-paper umbrellas.

Tick, tick......

Qin Mei didn't look back.

The traction of the soul let her know who the person holding the umbrella was, but she didn't know why this person who should be with her mother and wife to discuss how to bring back the pregnant "concubine" placed in the palace would appear here.

Ning Xiang and Begonia stood far away under the porch, looking a little unbearable, Begonia covered her mouth, turned her face away, rested her head on Ning Xiang's shoulder, and silently shed tears. In the past six months, they have watched their girls not thinking about tea and dinner, and how absent-minded they are, but they can't do anything or say anything. Well, now Your Majesty is back. Girl, maybe you can be happier.

Neither of the two people under the umbrella spoke, perhaps, no one knew how to speak. Just like that, standing on the green bricks under the eaves. One looked at the rain dripping from the umbrella and counted the beats in a daze, and the other looked at the lonely side face of the other, and was also in a daze. It's like playing a game of "whoever speaks first loses".

It wasn't until a gust of wind blew and there was some coolness that someone reacted.

He didn't speak, he just reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, took her into his arms, and then took her around and left, whether she wanted it or not. It seems that taking into account her relatively small steps, after taking two big steps at first, in order to make her more comfortable, he lowered his steps a little.

She had been standing in the rain for a while, and she was cold. Suddenly touched his warm body, and couldn't help but shiver. Before he could feel his temperature, he led him forward. Her mind was a little wooden, and she just followed his steps obediently.

She stared at the side of his face with wide eyes.

Still wondering why he's here.

She suddenly remembered what he had said to her, "Wait until I'll come back!" ”

Well...... He's back!
