The sky is bright, the air is vaguely exuding a fresh after-rain breath, and occasionally bursts of tactful birdsong sound under the sky

Such cool summer mornings are the most comfortable weather of the year

Since she became pregnant, Yan Qingge's body has been lazy and tight, and she can't wait to take advantage of such good weather to sleep in bed for a while

But she struggled to get out of bed

A few days ago, she handed over a sign to inform the queen of the water family, and wanted to invite the queen to judge

The palace promised to let her and the Shui family enter the palace today

Since leaving the palace, Yan Qingge didn't want to go back, but when it came to Ling Xiao, Yan Qingge couldn't help but act

Yitong cleaned up and dressed up, and Yan Qingge was helped into the carriage by Ruyi

After entering the carriage, Ruyi smiled and took out the bamboo mat, quilt and pillow from the cabinet under the seat, and said with a smile: "Miss, the car is slow, you can sleep for a while, you are dressed plainly today, and you are not afraid of messing up."

Yan Qingge smiled: "It's still my wishful thinking"

Because today I went to ask Ling Xiao for an explanation, and Yan Qingge knew the queen very well, although the clothes on the whole body looked solemn, there were no complicated patterns, and the hairpins on the top were also the most simple, even if they were messy, they would return to their original state after a little tidying

The carriage was swaying and walking, Yan Qingge thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't expect to lie down and find that the rhythm of the carriage shaking like this was quite inspiring, and she really fell asleep after a while

When he woke up, Yan Qingge sat up and was served by Ruyi, wiped his face with a wet cloth, put on a little powder, made up for his makeup, drank warm tea, and asked, "Where is this?"

"The eldest lady woke up just a street away from the palace gate," Ruyi replied

Yan Qingge smiled, and didn't say anything else, just listened to the coachman outside: "Niangniang came behind a carriage, it seems to be from the Zhongwang Mansion."

Today, the matter of the Loyal King's Mansion will be decided, and the people of the Loyal King's Mansion will also be present

Shui Zhi's body is not very good, and Shui Mu Pingsu rarely uses a carriage, he rides a horse directly, and the people in this carriage are undoubtedly Shui Zhi

Yan Qingge explained to the coachman: "If the car is full of water plants, let us go with him."

The coachman would have lowered his slow horse, which was supposed to work, and waited for the back

After a while, the sound of coachmen on both sides of the road was heard outside

The carriage was indeed filled with water plants

The two cars arrived in front of the palace gate together

Yan Qingge was helped out of the car by Ruyi and Brother Parrot, and handed over the waist card to show people with a big belly, and behind them, Shui Zhi was also pushed down by people, even with a wheelchair, Yan Qingge nodded to Shui Zhi as a sign of politeness

"Princess, Niangniang, please" The guard guarding the door saw the waist card and was about to let people in, but the leading eunuch waiting at the door looked at Yan Qingge, and said in a sharp voice: "Niangniang, you maid~You can only bring one in~"

Yan Qingge was stunned

Since beating her to get pregnant, no matter where she goes, there are no less than six maids and wives around her, it can be said that she is hugging her for fear that she will have a little accident, today considering that she can not bring too many attendants into the palace, she only received the best Ruyi and Parrot brothers, but she did not expect to be stopped by one

The little eunuch put his hand in his sleeve and didn't walk, obviously Yan Qingge couldn't take someone in if he didn't leave a maid

Ruyi's face was a little bad, she and Brother Parrot glanced at each other and said, "Miss, I'll accompany you, I'm familiar with the palace."

Brother Parrot had Yan Xiuyu's command, and refused to give in, and said angrily: "No, the princess is not close to anyone, father-in-law, you can let us in together."

The father-in-law said with a sour face: "Our family has seen many pregnant women in the palace for so many years, and they only bring one person to the mother's identity, no wonder they are more squeamish than others."

Despite that, he didn't move at his feet, apparently just mocking

Shui Zhi also checked the waist card, and behind him was a stout boy who looked like he was about eleven or twelve years old, pushing him in a wheelchair, and stopped when he saw that Yan Qingge didn't leave

Yan Qingge's belly is bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women, and now it is only more than seven months, but her bulging bags already look like before giving birth, plus she is not fat, her hands and feet are slender, and her body is only protruding from the top and bottom, so with such a big belly, her center of gravity is unstable when she walks, and it is really dangerous to be supported by only a maid

The two sides were deadlocked, and Shuizhi turned around and looked at his car and said, "Take another one of our wheelchairs."

He took out a small blue purse from his arms and handed it to the little eunuch: "Father-in-law is angry, this little gadget is for my father-in-law to play with, the princess and the people in her family are also worried about the rules in her palace, of course, you can't disobey it."

Coaxed the father-in-law Shui Zhi and smiled at Yan Qingge: "If the mother doesn't dislike sitting in my wheelchair, just ask the maid to push it behind, and sitting at all times is more stable than walking."

Talking here, the person who planted the water plant over there had already pushed down the spare wheelchair in the car

Although the wheelchair is a spare one, it is no different from the one that Mizuki is sitting on, and the blankets and bamboo mats on it shine with a new light, and at first glance it has never been used

Although Shui Zhi was well-intentioned, Yan Qingge still couldn't convince himself to sit in a wheelchair

She had hands and feet, and she was not a crippled person, and it was too strange to sit on it, and she preferred to walk slowly with a big belly

Yan Qingge said: "Thank you Shui Gongzi, I'll go by myself" She turned around and looked at the parrot who was still a little stubborn: "You guard me in the car, go and go back"

The little eunuch touched the purse given by Shui Zhi beside him, and there were more than a dozen golden buns in various patterns, and his face was much better, and he laughed sharply: "It's almost all with us."

Walking on the familiar palace road, Yan Qingge vaguely felt like a world away

This time, because the matter involves a foreign man, it will not lead people to the outer hall of the palace, and the distance to go to the Fengzao Palace is not far

Yan Qingge entered the shady hall and sat down, breathing a sigh of relief

The queen didn't know that Shui Zhi smiled at Yan Qingge: "The princess has worked hard for you these days."

"The water boy is polite," Yan Qingge smiled

"Thank you, second brother, are you crazy," a deep male voice sounded in the doorway, with exasperation in it

I saw Shui Zhi, who was tall and had a long hideous scar on his face, strode in, his eyes swept over Yan Qingge's face, and he looked at Shui Zhi in disappointment

Yan Qingge's recent actions, Shui Zhi is clear, what Yan Qingge has done is all for Ling Xiao, if the Shui family is done, it will be torn apart, and the title will not be guaranteed, and since then it has officially embarked on the road of no fall, Shui Zhi's elbow turned out, helping Yan Qingge, it is really a joke and a traitor to the Shui family

Yan Qingge completely ignored Shui Mu's fierce gaze, and sat calmly in a chair, with one hand on his stomach, as if he didn't know that there were others in this room

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerily tight

Still Shui Zhi smiled with a smile on his face and first opened his mouth to Shui Mu: "Brother, will the queen mother bring her sister-in-law in a while?"

Shui Mu's face was gloomy and he didn't answer

The words of the water plant seem to be a stone thrown into a bottomless pit, and you can't even hear the sound of landing

This dull atmosphere changed after half an hour with the arrival of the Empress

With the eunuch outside the door, "The queen has arrived", whether it is Shui Zhi or Shui Mu, including Yan Qingge, the numb faces of everyone seem to be as fresh as spring returning to the earth

The queen travels, even if she just walks in the palace, and her dependence will not be small

After a vigorous visit, the queen sat down on the main throne and smiled at Yan Qingge first: "I haven't seen Qingge for a few days."

"Qingge has seen Niangniang, Qingge misses Niangniang very much these days, and when she thinks of not being able to do her filial piety in front of Niangniang, she feels very guilty," Yan Qingge said in a tactful tone, looking at the queen with concern, as if she really missed the queen

The queen smiled slightly, and turned her head to look at Shui Zhi and Shui Mu brothers: "I have figured out the reason why you came, I asked someone to go to Concubine Shui's place to invite her, even if things can't be done today, but she has a body, it's better to go out and raise it, and then live in the palace and serve people, isn't that the truth?"

Shui Mu gritted his teeth lightly and gritted out a smile: "What Niang Niang said is that the minister was negligent, but I didn't expect that there was no news from the insiders for so many years, and there was a happy letter at this time."

The queen looked at Shui Mu thoughtfully: "It's a good thing to have good news"

As soon as Shui Mu heard the queen's tone, he responded with a sigh in his heart, and retreated to the side

However, Shui Zhi said to the queen with a smile on his face: "The queen's mother, this child is the first one in our Shui family's younger generation, and Shui Zhi will definitely treat him as his own."

"You have a heart," the queen said with a kind smile

When the two sides were greeting, Yan Qingge quietly and secretly glanced at the queen

I haven't seen the queen for a few months, the weight is amazing, others may not notice it, but Yan Qingge can see that the queen's crown and the phoenix robe she is wearing have been changed to a smaller size, otherwise she won't be able to hold it up at all

When the queen sat down, the heavy and smooth clothes fell on the legs, and the shape of the legs could be faintly seen, and the thighs were as thin as ordinary women's arms

The queen's complexion is not good, she is weak, not the yellow of illness, but the gray after a large loss of vitality, the gray that reveals the white color, lifeless, fat powder can hide only her skin color, but people's pupils are not able to put on makeup

Yan Qingge couldn't help but be secretly shocked, what happened to make the queen look like this

It's been a long time since she's been in the palace, and she hasn't heard anything from inside the palace

Yan Qingge suddenly remembered that Princess Roufu asked herself what kind of person Yan Shuyu was a month ago, and asked Yan Shuyu if she was very good at dispensing medicine

Yan Qingge couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that Yan Shuyu did something again, or that Yan Shuyu drugged the queen

This is really a very likely thing to happen, after all, Yan Shuyu is now the emperor's woman, and she has a lot of plans, and it is only a matter of time before she targets the queen
