Thus, another month passed peacefully. However, the imperial harem would never have true tranquility. There was only a surging undercurrent beneath the surface that was as tranquil as water.

After taking control of the harem, she changed Empress Dowager Dugu's rules. She changed it to twice a month every morning, with the first and fifteenth days respectively.

There were more and more concubines in the imperial harem. Every day, they would come to the Yongan Palace to pay their respects, and every day, they would just say something disobedient and put on a fake mask. It was really boring.

Secondly, I enjoy more and more peace and quiet, and the ladies of the harem all have their own thoughts. The more they meet, the more often they will see each other, so it would be better if they don't see each other often.

The autumn rain had rained for several days already, and the air was damp and cold. The silver furnace in the Yongan Palace had long been heated up, and the red carbon flames were like the warm spring sun, bathing the room in an orange color.

"Mistress, Yun Qiuyu and Mistress Su are here." The dog said as he waited outside the door.

"Oh? "So early?" Having finished dressing, I put on a cloak of dark brocade, took my sleeves with me, and walked slowly to the great hall.

Yi Yun and Su Ke Er were waiting for me. When they saw me come out, they hurriedly went forward to pay their respects and said,

"Chenqie greets the empress."

I supported Su Ke Er and said:

"Didn't Imperial Physician say you were pregnant? From now on, do not be so courteous.

Su Ke Er's face slightly blushed as she smiled and said:

"How many days has it been? Your concubine's child is only the size of a bean sprout, but the Empress just started to feel pain like that. "

Looking at the slightly drenched bodies of the two, I pretended to blame them:

"Even though it's raining so heavily, you still have to rush over so early in the morning. Aren't you afraid that your body will be ruined by the rain?"

Lun Yun sweetly smiled with a face full of happiness and said:

"The rain wasn't too bad, but the wind was strong. Although it was holding up an umbrella, it was still a bit wet. But luckily, chenqie's cloud silk embroidered cloak can protect against the wind while also keeping it warm. On the way here, I feel a little sweaty. "

Seeing her eyes smile like crescent moons and two dimples between her cheeks, I felt as if I had a paddle in my heart, creating a shallow wave. After a moment of blankness, I returned to my normal state.

This month, Yi Yun had been favored by Yang Guang, and the reward was not much worse. The expensive cloak that she wore was undoubtedly also a reward from Yang Guang.

Su Ke Er had always been pleasing to Yang Guang, coupled with the fact that she possessed dragon seeds, she naturally favored him endlessly. Although Chen Zong and Xuan Hua were the most favored, but right now, they were on equal footing with Su Ke and Yi Yun.

While they were talking and laughing, someone else arrived. They were all newly arrived concubines who were not particularly favoured. They were idle for half a day, until finally, when Chen Zhen arrived too late, he took off his black fox fur coat to protect himself from the cold and the rain, and said:

"Auntie caught a slight chill from the weather and couldn't take the rain, so I taught chenqie to come tell the empress that it was a fake." If the Empress isn't happy, chenqie will send someone to fetch her right away. "

After I finished speaking, I gave a shallow bow. Without waiting for me to open my mouth, I immediately found a suitable seat and sat down. My actions were extremely slow.

[How can I not accept it?] As the Queen Yun treats people kindly, I can't care less about the Six Palaces of the Tzu Chi. Thus, he said:

"Madam Xuan Hua has always been weak, so the weather should not be too bad. Just tell her to take care of her properly." He turned to Ying Xiu and said:

"The tribute that entered a few days ago still has some nests for the crown prince. Go and pick up a few pounds of the best ones for Chen Consort's sister. For no other reason than the fact that Lady Xuanhua likes His Majesty's heart, I will do my best."

Last night, Yang Guanguan was at Yongfu Palace's Xuan Hua's place, and everyone in the palace knew about it. In just a night's time, it was said that he had caught a cold, so who would believe it? It was just an excuse.

As soon as I finished my sentence, I saw the crowd shooting a few glances at Chen, and I felt even more jealous of Mrs. Xuanhua.

"This concubine thanks the Empress for her gift." Chen Zhen felt slightly embarrassed and stood up to say.

Su Ke-er suddenly giggled and got up. She walked over to Chen Zhong's side, wearing a bright red dress and looking extremely charming. She forcefully suppressed Chen Zhong's purple Qi, and jokingly said:

"The Empress is indeed kind-hearted, and this is the fortune of us sisters in the harem. Since that is the case, then chenqie will not be polite."

I leisurely smiled and asked:

"What do you want to do with your concubine? Could it be that he had actually been envious of the fact that the sect had rewarded Madam Xuan Hua with a few catties of bird's nest? Even if you want it, it's useless. I don't have many left, so I'm not willing to give it up. "

"Empress, you must be joking. How could chenqie dare to be jealous of esteemed Hua?" This chenqie had only been in the palace for a short period of time, and her qualifications were shallow. How could chenqie dare to compete with the empress of Xuanhua who had been in the palace for so many years? Chenqie only watched as the rain got heavier and heavier. If she went back, wouldn't she be drenched? "Empress Dowager, please take it as pity that chenqie is pregnant and leave her for lunch." Su Ke Er giggled.

When she said this, a few snickers sounded out from all directions. Xuan Hua was originally the Imperial Consort, so he naturally stayed in the palace for many years. Su Ke'er's words were a bit too direct.

"Ah, is the rain an excuse to eat? "Then chenqie must stay as well." He answered the call.

"Good, good, since we are leaving in the rain, how can I refuse? However, leave all your sisters here and accompany me for lunch. " I slightly tilted my eyes to look at the embarrassed Chen Hung, laughing as I spoke.

Everyone laughed and said that with the help of his concubine, the Empress would give him a meal. Only Chen Huan's face turned slightly green as he angrily glanced at Su Ke-er. However, he could not refute her and could only suppress his anger as he said:

"Because of the rain, chenqie did not bring my son out. I'm afraid the palace maids will not do their best to accompany you for a meal."

I held the teacup in my hand and gently lifted the translucent jadeite armor on my little finger. I flicked away a bit of the tea leaves inside the teacup and said:

"Since we are all mothers, I can understand your feelings. However, it's been almost a hundred days since we spoke of Yun'er, right? "

Chen Zhen bowed his head slightly and replied:

"There are only three days left to the end of a hundred days. Thank you for your concern, Empress."

"Normally, a hundred days wouldn't be considered a big day, but there haven't been many happy events in the palace these days, so there's less liveliness. Even Zhao'er felt depressed, so why don't we take advantage of these hundred days to have some fun?" I took a sip of my tea and said.

Chen Xu never thought that I would actually think of celebrating Yun'er's birthday. He was slightly surprised for a moment before he forced a smile and said:

"This concubine thanks the Empress in her place, but even First Princess Ha'er has never done so. How could Yun'er surpass her imperial sister?"

I smiled and said:

"Who said that Zhao'er and Ha'er were born at the wrong time? "Right now, we will be setting an example. In the future, no matter if it's a prince or a princess, we will celebrate our birthday for a hundred days. However, do not spend too much money. We will gather together as sisters."

Now that it's been three months, my expression became even more lifeless. I secretly asked the imperial physician, saying that it was because of a natural deficiency, and I'm afraid that even if I can't cure it, I will only be able to keep my life after adding medicine to the milk every day. My mind, on the other hand, is destined to be far weaker than a normal child.

In his heart, he also felt pity. It seemed that Chen Wu did not hesitate to use a trick for the sake of the later position. He never thought that it would be a wasted effort, involving the fetus in his womb.

The crowd also congratulated her, calling her a kind and compassionate child, and treating her as if she were a princess born of a concubine.

Of course, there were more haters.

No matter how much Chen Zhong could refuse, he could only agree. Thinking about it, she must be feeling sorry for Feng Er.

As for me, the reason why I want to celebrate for Yun'er for a hundred days, aside from feeling pity for her, I also need to establish my motherly demeanor in the harem. There is also another level, which I am unable to explain clearly, perhaps it's for Yang Guang.

The next day, Yang Guang found out about this and indeed came to the Yongan Palace. He stared at me for a moment and said:

'As expected, the love between the Empress and Zhuo'er is deep, and the love between them even surpasses that between Zhuo and Zhao.'

I had a decent smile on my face, but my eyes didn't have the slightest hint of a smile. This was the first time I saw Yang Guang after the Mid-Autumn Festival. In less than a month, he was still in high spirits, looking even more domineering on the surface.

However, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, but his expression was still cold.

Even though I have the right to go in and out of the palace, but without a proper reason, I am still unable to take that step. He finally understood what it meant to be close to the ends of the earth.

As for him, he didn't need a reason. He just disdained it. He felt a burst of bitterness in his heart, but his face remained calm. He gave a shallow bow and said:

"Did Your Majesty come to see Hal?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, his heart sank. If he didn't have a hard time, would he have set foot in Yongan Palace?

"Mm, how is Zhao'er's calligraphy?" Is Harry still crying recently? " Yang Guang turned his head and walked towards the inner room without looking at me.

"Zhao'er has made great progress, and he is still the same." I replied.

Ever since he had entered the palace, he had been crying every time he fed her, probably because he missed her mother.

I followed behind Yang Guang into the inner hall. Ha'er was sleeping soundly, while Zhao'er was listening to the story in her mother-in-law's embrace. When she saw Yang Guang enter, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"This son greets royal father!" Zhao'er clasped her hands and bowed.

"This old servant pays his respect to the Emperor!" The old granny bowed.

"Alright, get up." Yang Guang reached out and took Zhao'er in his arms, walking up to the cradle.

There was no cradle in the palace, only because Sha'er used to sleeping in the brocade clouds, when we first entered the palace, she cried non-stop, so I had someone to do it for me, and now I was able to sleep peacefully, but the little brows were tightly knitted together, unwilling to relax, just like the stubbornness of the brocade clouds.

"How many hours have you been sleeping?" Yang Guang asked in a soft voice.

"Reporting to the Emperor, it's been four hours." After saying that, he timidly stepped aside.

"It's rare for someone to not wake up after four hours of sleep. I'm afraid he's about to wake up." I walked over and said.

As she was speaking, Ha'er's small hands moved, and she stretched and twisted her body. The corners of her mouth curled up, but she did not cry.

Yang Guang put down Zhao'er and carried her tenderly as if he had not seen enough, and said:

"Ha, father has come to see you. Are you happy?"

I thought she was going to cry again, but she suddenly opened her eyes, tilted her head and looked at Yang Guang. Under her thick eyebrows, a pair of watery eyes blinked twice, and unexpectedly grinned towards Yang Guang.
