"One or two times is not a small number. Do you know how many people cannot see the emperor?" Ye Jun said.
Huiyue laughed at the side, "Compared to the Empress, it's not much. The Emperor comes to our place at least five or six days a month, and at most ninety days."
Sometimes I just come here for lunch and leave, at least I can see people.
However, when it comes to the days when he officially sleeps with his wife, it is Ye Jun who has the most opportunities. It was only during the few months when she was pregnant and could not serve him that others had a few chances.
Speaking of this, Ye Jun suddenly said.
"How is Ying Wanrong, the newcomer to the palace?"
I haven't had a proper meeting with this eldest lady from the Changsun family yet.
Nan Zhi thought for a moment and said, "She seems to have the same personality as Qi Xiurong. She doesn't see the emperor very often. The few times she does, she is usually called to accompany him for meals or to serve him with writing."
"The Qi family is also a family of scholars, so it's normal that the two people have similar personalities." Ye Jun nodded slightly.
She didn't have many memories of Ying Wanrong. After all, Ye Jun became pregnant not long after she entered the palace, so she rarely went out to see people.
"Speaking of which, Qi Xiurong is the one who is deeply in love with the emperor. She must be very happy to be pregnant with this child." Ye Jun said lightly.
The look Qi gave Ning Chen was so profound.
You can tell at a glance that someone is trapped.
Huiyue and Nanzhi looked at each other and didn't respond.
How do I answer this
Could it be that my master is not sincere to the emperor? That would cost me my life.
However, Ye Jun was not without affection for Ning Chen, he just restrained himself very well.
The master and servant were chatting when the nanny from the needlework department came.
I came to measure Ye Yun's size for new clothes.
Most of the clothes that she wore when she was pregnant with the Fourth Prince a few years ago have been thrown away. This time she seems to have gained more weight, and the clothes will soon be too big to wear.
Ye Jun laughed at herself and said, "I really wasted the fabric. Such a nice dress can't be worn again after wearing it for two days."
"Oh, madam, you can't say that. You have a little prince in your belly. It's normal for a child to grow fast. The emperor loves you and can still feel sorry for you. Isn't this little bit of fabric enough?"
The nanny complimented him while measuring him.
Ye Jun looked down at her belly and said, "This time it seems to be a little bigger than before. I need to lose some weight after giving birth."
Her appetite was particularly good during pregnancy and she ate a lot. This spring, it was cold and cold, so she didn't move much and looked plumper.
"Your Majesty is not necessarily fat. There are two types of pregnancy: front pregnancy and back pregnancy. For those who are pregnant front, their belly will be particularly prominent. From what I see, Your Majesty's limbs have not changed much." said the nanny.
Ye Jun was puzzled, "Really? I didn't even know this. If that's the case, then I'm probably pregnant from a previous pregnancy. Are there any other explanations for this?"
"Not really. Whether it's a first or second pregnancy, it has no effect on the health of the baby." The nanny replied.
After measuring the size, Ye Jun asked someone to give the nanny an extra ten taels of silver.
It was a reward for her ability to speak. After chatting for a while, I learned some new knowledge.
In the afternoon, I felt very bored after waking up from a nap.
The Fourth Prince was learning to write big characters in the room. Ye Jun stood at the door and watched for a while. Not wanting to disturb him, he left.
Take Nian Gao out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, I met Ying Wanrong, whom I had just discussed this morning, in the Imperial Garden.
She was wearing a lavender dress, with a delicate and elegant makeup, and she exuded a scholarly air from the inside out.
She is indeed a beauty.
"I pay my respects to Consort Ming."
Seeing Ye Jun, Ying Wanrong came over.
"No need to be polite. I've never met her in private before. Now that I see her, Ying Wanrong is truly an extraordinary person." Ye Jun curled his lips slightly.
This is not just a polite remark, it is really true.
She was praised as soon as she was called up, and Ying Wanrong was obviously a little surprised.
After a pause, she bowed again, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am still far behind you. Your Majesty is the most beautiful and graceful one."
"A man of culture is naturally elegant. I think this sentence is not an exaggeration to describe you." Ye Jun smiled.
Knowing that she would be polite again, he simply took over the conversation himself, "Ying Wanrong, are you here to enjoy the flowers? I wonder what kind of flowers you like."
"To explain the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, I lean against the railing on the north side of the Chenxiang Pavilion. The flowers that I like haven't bloomed yet, and I just came out for a casual walk today." Ying Wanrong said softly.
But this sentence made Ye Jun look at her twice more, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Do you like peonies?"
"Yes, I like peonies." Ying Wanrong smiled, "I guess Your Majesty thinks that I like beautiful and elegant flowers like plum and orchid."
Many people thought that she came from a scholarly family and usually dressed simply.
She felt that the gorgeous and luxurious peony was not suitable for her, but she just liked it.
Ye Jun withdrew his gaze but didn't say anything else.
"The peony is extremely beautiful. There's nothing wrong with liking it. I don't like plain flowers either. I like crabapples."
Ying Wanrong lowered her eyes, "The crabapple tree is colorful and very beautiful. I have been out for a while and my clothes are light. It is a bit chilly now. I will not disturb you from admiring the flowers. I will take my leave first."
"Go back quickly, or you might catch a cold." Ye Jun nodded.
I don't mean to make things difficult.
After everyone left, Huiyue couldn't help but say, "This peony is a flower that only the queen can use in the palace, but Ying Wanrong doesn't avoid suspicion."
"It's just that I like her. If I argue with her, I'll lose face." Ye Jun said lightly.
This time it can be seen that Ying Wanrong is also an ambitious person.
He is ambitious and proud, so he can tell her that he likes Peony.
Perhaps, this proud girl didn't even take her seriously.
However, this is the case for all women who have just entered the palace, especially the legitimate daughters of large families. It will take two or three years for their edges to be smoothed out.
When everyone heard that Ming Zhaoyi and Ying Wanrong met in the Imperial Garden, they thought something might happen, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened and they were a little disappointed.
Ying Wanrong returned to her residence, and the maids were also worried.
But she herself was very calm.
In her opinion, Ye Jun must have this kind of bearing and vision to have been favored for so many years. If he were to take the opportunity to do something to her, a newcomer who is not yet favored, just because he said he likes Mudan, then that would be too impatient.
He is so impatient that he can't be a powerful person.
In short, after meeting today, only the two parties involved know the ins and outs of the matter.
On the morning of the second day, Shen Pingzhi came to check on Ping's pulse.
Ning Chen happened to come over and watched from the side.
When taking the pulse, Shen Pingzhi frowned slightly. After taking the pulse of one hand, he asked Ye Jun to take the other hand.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Ye Jun immediately became alert.
Ning Chen did the same, he stood up and moved closer.
Shen Pingzhi shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, there is nothing wrong with your Majesty, it's just that I feel that this pulse seems to be that of twins."
