Zhao Ruhai came over early in the morning to announce that Long Live Lord would come over for lunch. Concubine Li couldn't help but be overjoyed. She was so busy that she ordered the kitchen to make the dishes more exquisite and delicious. She even cooked a few specialty side dishes herself, okay? After Yi finished his work, he hurried back to the dormitory to freshen up and change clothes.
Linglong Princess Lu Zhichan has not entered the palace for a long time, so she has been following Concubine Li as soon as she entered the palace, talking to Concubine Li about herself, and then followed Concubine Li into the dormitory without letting the attendants wait. Follow along, it will be easier for the two of you to talk.
"Mother and concubine, my father has not been to Jingren Palace for half a year, and now he doesn't even care about the queen's face on such a big day as the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm afraid the prince will be deposed before the New Year." Lu Zhichan personally helped Li Fei wash her hands and rubbed Li Fei's shoulders.
Concubine Li sat in the bathtub, closed her eyes and meditated, and said slowly: "Xu Deliang resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. Even his aunt, the Queen Mother, was not willing to speak for such a nephew. The Queen was even more despised by Long Live Lord, and the Prince was placed under house arrest. The second prince has been disgraced again, and it is difficult to do anything. The Xu family is probably about to collapse. "
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the Xu family is so prominent, it's unbelievable that this day will come to pass," Lu Zhichan said with emotion, "It can be seen that no matter how much my nephew kisses me, he will never be able to kiss his son. Although the Queen Mother is old, But it’s not confusing either.”
Li Fei suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zhichan: "It's been a whole year since your wedding, why is there still no movement in your stomach?"
Lu Zhichan was startled, then blushed and whispered: "This kind of thing...how do you know?"
Concubine Li hesitated and said, "Do you still have sex with your consort... frequently?"
Lu Zhichan bit his lip and said, "Except for the letter period, it can only happen once every three or two days."
"That's okay, why hasn't there been any movement?" After a pause, Concubine Li pondered again, "How about calling the imperial doctor over to check the pulses of both you and the consort?"
Lu Zhichan said hurriedly: "Concubine, I don't have to worry about my son. It's only been a year, so we can wait and see."
Concubine Li nodded, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Has the woman from the consort's past ever given birth to a child?"
Lu Zhichan was startled, then shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not."
Li Fei sighed: "It would be better if we didn't. With our status, we shouldn't make a fool of ourselves."
Lu Zhichan bit his lip: "Yes, I understand."

Yanxi Palace.
Concubine Wan Gui's face had been cold all day. Although the third prince Lu Zhihe came to the palace early to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, she did not smile at all.
Lu Zhihe scooped half a bowl of pearl, emerald and white jade soup for Concubine Wan Gui, and said with a smile: "Concubine, please use it."
Concubine Wan Gui took the bowl of soup, but did not drink it. She just put the soup on the table and poked the crystal shrimp dumplings in front of her with some irritability: "Long Live Lord will definitely come to Yanxi Palace every Mid-Autumn Festival. , Let that bitch Li Fei take the lead this year, it’s really abominable.”
Lu Zhihe looked at the large table full of delicacies, his face was not very good, and he said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that my father thinks that we have been moving too frequently recently?"
"The prince has been under house arrest in the East Palace for half a year. Everyone thinks that the prince is like a grasshopper after autumn, but the long live master has not made the decree to depose him. It is really frustrating." Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips. He looked at Lu Zhihe with some uneasiness, "He'er, is it really like you said that Long Live the Lord can't get used to us pursuing and fighting like this?"
