Fortunately, the Queen was in no mood to talk to these two ladies.
After meeting him once, he stayed for a cup of tea and then left.
As soon as I left Fengqi Palace, Bai Zhu was already waiting outside and had ordered people to bring a sedan chair.
Mrs. Yao was very embarrassed because her daughter did not send anyone to pick her up.
Although only a palace maid led her to Weiruixuan, there is no harm without comparison.
"Madam Yao, please take care. I will go first." Chu bowed politely.
"Mrs. Ye, you're too polite." Mrs. Yao said with a stiff expression.
Seeing Chu getting on the sedan chair and being carried away, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she didn't walk far before Nianwen came to pick her up.
But it’s not as comfortable as Chu’s, and there’s no sedan chair to sit in.
Yuxiu Pavilion.
Ye Jun ignored the maids' advice and stood anxiously at the door waiting.
When she saw her mother, she lifted her skirt and went out.
When Chu saw her daughter, she was also very excited. She quickly asked the servants to stop and got off the sedan chair to pay her respects.
"Mom!" Ye Jun held the person up and cried out in a tearful voice.
The words "Empress Xiurong" were stuck in Chu's throat and she couldn't say them out.
With red eyes, she hugged the person. "Yun'er, my Yun'er."
Both mother and daughter were so excited that they burst into tears outside the door.
Several maids hurriedly persuaded them to go into the house first, and it took a while for them to calm down.
Ye Jun has always been very independent, but now she leaned on Chu's shoulder, looking like a little child.
Nanny Liang looked at the door and decided not to go in to disturb them. She then waved to Huiyue and Nanzhi to come out.
Leave space for the mother and daughter.
"You are pregnant now, so you must be careful and cautious. There are too many shady tricks in the palace. Mother is very worried."
Chu held her daughter's hand, feeling extremely worried.
Ye Jun returned her hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. The emperor treats me very well. He specially appointed a nanny to take care of my daily life. The imperial physician Shen who examined my pregnancy is also familiar with my uncle. He knows me well, so nothing will happen."
"That's good." Chu nodded and sighed, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and lives far away in Lingzhou. I can't go over to take care of her. Now you are pregnant too, but you are separated from me in the palace and I can't come to see you often. I feel so ashamed for you two. If anything happens to you, I will be too embarrassed to face your father."
As for this pair of children, Chu really has the will but not the ability.
Her daughter was in the palace, and she was just a woman, unable to support her daughter. Her son was in the army, and she was even further away from taking care of him.
In the end, it was the two children themselves who relied on each other and even took care of her.
Chu knew clearly that without her daughter's planning, her family, the Chu family, would not be as prosperous as it is today.
Fortunately, the Chu family is of pure intentions and the two families are close, so the daughter has an extra source of support.
"Mom, don't say that. Now that father is gone, you are the backbone of my brother and me. As long as you are here, our Ye family will not fall apart." Ye Jun said softly.
Listening to her daughter's words, Chu felt warm in her heart and nodded with a smile.
The mother and daughter were just like this, chatting privately in the house for the whole morning.
The servants outside were relieved when they heard their master's long-lost laughter.
On the other hand, Yao Xiang and his mother Lian were not so happy.
As soon as they met, Lian hurriedly told Yao Xiang everything her family wanted to tell her.
It's nothing more than asking her to spend more time trying to win favor.
During the time of the previous emperor, Consort Yao was favored and gave birth to a prince. The Yao family was very prominent at that time, but it was not as powerful as before because the second prince failed to ascend the throne.
Now Yao Xiang has also entered the palace, but the favor she enjoys cannot be compared with that of the Tai Guifei back then.
Now that she is finally pregnant, her family is fully expecting her to give birth to a prince.
However, whether a baby is a boy or a girl is determined by heaven and cannot be influenced by human beings. The Yao family was worried that she would not have the next baby after giving birth to this one, so they thought of sending a girl from the Yao family to the palace to help her.
There is no one of the appropriate age this year, but three years later, the eighth daughter of the Yao family, who has just turned twelve, is just the right age.
This time, the purpose was to win Yao Xiang's opinion and to put some pressure on her.
If Yao Xiang is still not able to perform after three years, her family will send the Eighth Girl in. If she is in a high position, there will naturally be no need for this.
Originally, Yao Xiang was somewhat happy about his mother's entry into the palace.
But after my mother finished saying this, the little joy I had was gone completely.
She is still pregnant now, and her family has already started plotting for power three years later. It really makes people unhappy.
In the end, the mother and daughter's conversation after a long time ended on a bad note.
Yao Xiang lived in a side room, and there was not much space left, so naturally the two of them could not live together. He could only clean up the back hall for his mother to live in.
The Yao family is a marquisate after all, and is considered noble, so naturally the Lian family is not used to living in such a place.
Fortunately, the Grand Concubine knew about Yao Xiang’s current predicament and called both mother and daughter to Ci’an Palace to talk.
Since they were all family, they all stayed in Ci'an Palace.
Of course, there are other things to say.
Meanwhile, at Yuxiu Pavilion, Ye Jun did not let Chu rest in the side room at night, so the mother and daughter slept together.
I rarely slept with my mother when I was at home. The last time was the night before I entered the palace. After a few years, I finally had the chance again.
The mother and daughter had endless private conversations and didn't fall asleep until midnight.
We all got up late the next day.
Mrs. Chu was still a little embarrassed, but seeing the maids acting as if it was normal, she knew that her daughter often encountered this kind of situation.
Therefore, she finally believed her daughter's words that she was quite comfortable in the palace.
The time family members spend together is always limited. After lunch, Chu will leave the palace.
Ye Jun was very reluctant to leave, but the palace rules were like that and she couldn't disobey them.
However, when Chu left, she took out a lot of things from Yuxiu Pavilion, no less than what she brought in.
"Madam's coming in finally makes Xiurong happy." Huiyue said with a smile.
Ye Jun curled her lips, "Yes, Madam Liang has put a lot of thought into this. Go and give Madam the jade magpie hairpin in my dressing box, and tell her it's a token of my love."
Huiyue nodded and went into the house to get it.
Just talking about feelings, Ye Jun thought of Ning Chen again.
After all, if Ning Chen didn't agree, it would be useless no matter how much effort Nanny Liang put in.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that we should thank the big money sponsor.
Calculating the time, he had just finished lunch and should be resting. So Ye Jun changed his clothes and took a sedan chair to Jiuchen Palace.
She was right.
Ning Chen was busy with state affairs and had lunch late. He had just finished his meal and was pacing in the hall to digest his food.
After hearing the servant say that Xiurong had arrived, he immediately let him in.
Just then, a figure in a Xiangfei-colored long skirt with plum patterns walked in. She was wearing a small coat with a rabbit fur collar on the outside. It was white and fluffy, and it set off her red lips, which looked so tempting.
