The carriage stopped at the gate, and the gatekeeper called out. When Grandma came back, there was a servant girl coming out to welcome her. Without any problems, he got off the carriage and held his stomach, looking tired.

Shen Liwen looked at her after he returned to his room and sat down, "Your body is currently heavy, so you don't need to be that diligent to go to the Duke Yongnian Palace. Old lady, you should understand and understand."

"Old lady, you're understanding me. If you want me to stay in the mansion, then just stay. It's just that I've promised Shishi that I will stay here." "No," she whispered.

"He was looking forward to you earlier. I drove him to bed." Shen Liwen said.

"Then he shouldn't be asleep yet. I'll go check on him." Shen Liwen knew that he could not convince her, and could only accompany her.

Shen Sifang saw that he had no problems and came over, "I knew that mother would come back to visit me."

"I came back late today. Mom will come back early to eat with you." Since she agreed to enter the Shen household, she always felt that she owed him a lot, especially after she became pregnant again so she felt that she couldn't make up for it with her eldest son.

Thus, when he was at home, she would try her best to accompany him. Whatever he wanted, she would agree to it.

He had no memories of her mother ever since he was a child. Now that he had her mother by his side, pretty, fragrant, gentle, and reasonable, he never told anyone that he actually liked his mother, even though they had only known each other for less than a year. He only pretended to resist occasionally because he wanted her mother to treat him better. He liked her mother, even though his father didn't like him sticking to her.

After conversing with Shen Si Rou for a while, and still having to go to school tomorrow, Shen Liwen told him to rest early, and returned to the main courtyard to take off his shoes to soak his swollen feet. Shen Liwen felt his heart ache as he looked at them, "Your feet are swollen."

"Pregnant people should have swollen feet. I'm also a sitter in the mansion, do you think I'm standing?" Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Sitting and talking with him is not an easy job. You have to keep your nerves taut and not relax for even a moment." Shen Liwen said.

"You're marrying a little girl, aren't you used to it yet?" Wu Tian looked at him and said, "Even if I'm already seventy or eighty and my children and grandchildren are all over the hall, I'm still the Empress's girl."

"I didn't say that." Shen Liwen said, "You know, I don't mind you." He dried his feet and placed them on his lap, massaging her feet.

Sickly Thinking of what Fangruo had said, she had never told Shen Liwen before, but now it seemed that she had to say it at night. If she said it earlier, maybe he would have made preparations earlier.

"Xi Tao and the others will enter the palace in the small selection and return to serve the Empress." "No," she whispered.

Shen Liwen's pressed hands stopped for a moment, and then he pressed again normally. "I know."

"Since the Empress and His Majesty have returned to the Old Master's side, you two will eventually have to return and serve them." The voice was not without gloom.

"The Empress told me to finish giving birth and come back after the month." No disease.

Shen Liwen nodded, "There's still a few more months."

"You don't want me to give you a concubine, but I'll still say it first. If you think anyone is good, you can just stay by your side and wait on me. Don't worry about me." No disease.

"You still don't want to believe me?" Shen Liwen's voice was filled with grief, "After you married me and became pregnant with my second child."

"You insisted on it before because I don't belong to you. Perhaps now, your way of thinking has changed." "It's normal for men to have three or four wives. I'm very open-minded about this."

"I don't want anyone else. I just want you." Shen Liwen said.

A sane expression, in any case, was more baffling than moved. She still didn't believe that she would be able to get what she wanted so easily.

"You still don't believe me." Shen Liwen said with a wry smile, "Or should I say, you don't love me at all. Marrying me is just apologizing to me and you want to make up for it?"

"You are in charge of the Empress's private affairs, and even when you left the palace you did not let it go, but you still went out to handle it. You never talked about it at home, and even if you were to complain, you still had to go out in a carriage." Shen Liwen sighed, "Even if I were to arrange for a study room for you, if others do not enter, they will still have to go. Are you really that trusting of me?"

"This has nothing to do with you!" "What I have done for the Empress, even the Duke Yongnian Palace does not know."

"You are also an Imperial Protector, so you naturally know what kind of person you can use it with ease."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Liwen said, "After you finish eating your bird's nest, go to sleep."

Nutty had a dream in the middle of the night, in which her parents and brothers sold her to the peddler. The peddler, afraid that she would run away, fed her a sleeping pill and shook her in the rickety carriage, as if it would never end. Then, he heard the peddler say from the outside, 'This is the girl beside the empress, a confidant.'

Ye Zichen woke up.

Her heart was beating intensely, she reached out her hand to press on her chest without sickness, she turned her head to look at Shen Liwen's back, it was only a lump of black in the darkness.

Yes, could it be that because he had sent her back to the Empress, because his feelings for her were as unswerving as the sea, he was about to forget the situation when they met?

To safely return it to the Empress was all thanks to him, but how much could this affection be exchanged for? But if he was husband and wife with her, it would be a long, long time of grace.

No disease thinking up to this point, I feel the back of a body is covered in a fine, numb sweat, willing to use himself as a companion, the picture is not small. Shen Liwen said that she did not love him, maybe, or else he would not be so calm.

But do you really love me again?

Zhu Yijun had said that Qianqing Palace were on fire and the amount of effort needed to rebuild the palace was not small. This year, his birthday was going to be a simple one, and he only accepted a hundred officials as guests. Then, he would host a small feast in the imperial harem to celebrate his birthday.

Since Wang Rong and the previous palace concubines were often asked to prepare a program for His Majesty, Imperial Consort Zheng said that since His Majesty had said that the birthday celebration would be a small affair, then the guests would all be on his side. If not, the imperial concubine would also prepare a program to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday celebration.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort is inviting you to the palace for your birthday." Wang Rong was a bit hesitant.

"The princess is the emperor's blood sister, there's no need for conflict. Besides, the program we prepared is also a proper program, what is the Empress thinking?" Imperial Consort Zheng said while covering her mouth.

"Since you have the heart, then go and prepare." Wang Rong He nodded, "Only the arrangement and sequence of the programs are available for Palace Manager Cui to see and arrange."

"Thank you, esteemed Empress." The Imperial Consort Zheng said.

After the concubine left, the palace maid served some tea to Wang Rong. "Why did the Empress give them the chance to show off in front of His Majesty?"

"They've been holding it in for a long time. There's something that keeps them busy, too." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Don't let the Prince Consort enter this time's family banquet. mother only sat for a little at the birthday banquet and he wasn't able to sit until the end. When mother returned to the palace, Princess also followed him over and arranged for Gong Fei's show to be held at that time."

"This servant will tell Palace Manager Cui right away." The palace maid said.

The birthday present that the imperial concubine had prepared for His Majesty was most suitable for embroidery. Some people would prepare the birthday present for the next year after their first birthday. As for good embroidery, it required time and thought.

Rong Chang was also troubled by the birthday present. She had already started to learn embroidery for long time, if it was her father's birthday, it would be embarrassing if she couldn't even take out a single piece of embroidery.

However, she really couldn't afford the embroidery work. Although she had already started preparing two months ago, she still hadn't gotten a single good item up until now.

's embroidery skills were not bad, and he had long been prepared for it. father had many personal items that were made by the imperial concubines, and even the father might not necessarily wear them.

"If not, then I'll do it for you." When Zhao Yi saw Rong Chang embroidery two more needles, she angrily threw the taut plate to the side and said.

"For the birthday present to father, if I let others do it for me, wouldn't that mean that my filial piety to the father is limited to allowing others to do it for me?" Rong Chang was furious for a moment, then she picked up the embroidered cloth back up and put a piece of cloth back down.

"Do it again?" Zhao Yi looked at him worriedly, "Is there time?"

"Since today's embroidery wasn't good enough, I won't be sleeping." Rong Chang said.

"empress has arrived." The eunuch spread the news.

Rong Chang and Zhao Yi hurriedly went down to the ground and waited for Wang Rong to enter the palace hall. Rong Chang greets mother. "

"Get up." She looked at the new embroidered taut piece on the table and asked, "Is it broken again?"

Rong Chang nodded, feeling wronged, "My hands are just wood, it's useless."

"Let me show mother. What does the hand look like?" Wang Rong smiled as she pulled her hand over. Both of her hands had different degrees of needlepoint marks on them. Wang Rong blew at it with heartache. "Does it hurt?"

Rong Chang shook her head, and said in a sobbing tone, "This son only feels that I am stupid, and too embarrassing. Zhao Yi has already stopped poking my hands, with just my wooden hands, I can only poke my eyes, whether I know it or not."

"Silly child." Wang Rong He said, "If you don't like embroidery, then go on a different path. Why do you need to walk on a dark path, without embroidery, wouldn't your filial piety towards the father be real?"

"My daughter can't even make a proper girl red, father wouldn't want such a stupid daughter." Rong Chang said.

"Since you have already been entrusted with being the daughter of the father, then you will be his daughter for the rest of your life. Wang Rong smiled and said, "Female red does not only include embroidery work."

"Actually, you can't be blamed for your poor embroidery skills. Because mother's embroidery skills are also bad, so mother's embroidery skills are better than mine." Seeing that Rong Chang was still depressed, Wang Rong said, "Your embroidery work was not good, so you didn't discover it recently. Don't be sad, the Queen Mother has brought something for you. "

palace maid, who had been holding a embroidered box, placed it on the table after hearing what was said.

It was a very flat and wide red lacquer box. When he opened it, he saw that there were 981 small boxes inside, each of which were filled with different colored gems. Each of them was only the size of a grain of rice.

"There are beads and thread here. This is a cloth the size of a table screen. You can draw patterns on it, it's bigger than the patterns you'll get when embroidering. You don't need thread to weave, you can use this pearl to embroider." Wang Rong said, she then took out the piece of cloth and embroidered two needles, showing it to Rong Chang, "Now, you can try."

Rong Chang took the needle and thread, and as long as there were no secret details, it would appear crude. With how big the gem was, it could cover up a bit, but it was not possible to see through a few flaws.

"This child should be able to do it." Rong Chang turned and smiled, "Then, what should I draw for father?"

"As you wish." Wang Rong looked at her daughter, who had regained her spirit, and said, "It's just that the beads are thicker than the thread, and the color is too fine to be expressed, so it should be simple and generous."

"Then the Jadebird I embroidered with Gonghou Garden, the Jadebird's fur is really good-looking." Rong Chang said. Someone, quickly go and bring me the Jadebird pair from Gonghou Garden. I want to see how the colors are matched. "

"You must have been waiting here for a long time, right?" Wang Ronghe said, "You don't know how to raise birds, only for a moment, don't spoil them."

"I won't." Rong Chang promised. The Queen Mother is my great savior, I like the Queen Mother the most. "
