Everything was arranged and we set off the next day.
Because Ye Jun was pregnant, she specifically ordered the convoy to move slower and more steadily.
The carriage she rode in was specially chosen with an old horse with the gentlest temperament. Every corner of the carriage was covered with soft cloth, not to mention being spacious.
In case she got hungry on the way, all kinds of snacks and tea were prepared.
Because I was extra slow, it usually takes me about half an hour to get to Lingxi Garden before lunch, but today I was an hour late.
But everyone brought some food, so no one went hungry.
It's inevitable that it will make others unhappy.
Because of her, a pregnant woman, the entire convoy slowed down.
The carriage entered Lingxi Garden, and Ye Jun did not get off the car. He drove directly to his residence.
The place where she lives this year is called Furong Palace.
This place is larger than Zhaochunxuan in the palace. It is spacious and luxurious. It is one of the best residences in Lingxi Garden.
The main reason is that it is much closer to Ning Chen’s Jingqian Palace.
The residences of other concubines remained unchanged.
The older princes who came with them lived separately, in the south of Lingxi Garden. Each of them had a small courtyard, which was slightly more spacious than the palace.
Lingxi Garden is large and there are few masters, so the last thing they lack is place to live.
After lunch, the Fourth Prince and Nian Gao were extremely excited.
It just so happens that this Hibiscus Palace is next to a clear pond. Although there are no hibiscus in full bloom in March, the willows along the pond are also very beautiful.
The Fourth Prince wanted to go out and play, so Ye Jun agreed.
A boy, a dog and a group of servants went out to have fun.
Ye Jun couldn't walk. Even though the cushions on the carriage were soft, the road was not as smooth as the concrete roads of later times. It was still a bit bumpy and it was very tiring to sit on it.
"Help me to get some sleep. You guys go check later to see if the delivery room is ready."
"Yes, the beds have been made. Your Majesty will feel more refreshed if you take a rest for a while," Huiyue said.
While the masters were having their meals, the things brought from the palace had already been laid out.
It is safer for pregnant women to use their own things.
After Ye Jun lay down, Huiyue and Nanzhi started to discuss.
"We've all come with you this time. Your Majesty is a twin so we need to be extra careful. With more people, we need to check thoroughly and not miss anything. Even the things we brought with us to the palace need to be checked again when we use them."
Nan Zhi nodded, "That's right. The last time the queen gave birth, Xie tried to kill her and she almost met with an accident. She can't give birth prematurely again this time. In my opinion, we should call Doctor Shen to check this room as well."
This was naturally agreed upon, and the two girls went their separate ways.
During the hour that Ye Jun was resting, Huiyue and Nanzhi arranged everything properly.
Now that he has been with her for so many years, both of them have become very experienced and stable.
Anyway, there is no problem with all the things around me.
When Ye Jun woke up, he was awakened by pain and his calf was cramping.
I couldn't reach it myself, and I felt so wronged that I wanted to cry.
When Lumei, who was guarding outside, heard the noise and came in, she saw her queen with red eyes.
But it makes people very anxious.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? You must be feeling unwell somewhere. I'll go get the imperial physician."
"No, no need. Just rub my legs for me. I have cramps and I can't reach my legs." Ye Jun said in a crying voice.
The pregnant woman's emotions were surging and she really couldn't control herself.
Lumei nodded and started to rub it quickly.
Fortunately, it’s not the first time I’ve served you, so just rub it and it will be fine.
Only when Ye Jun no longer felt the pain did she ask where Huiyue and Nanzhi had gone.
"They are in the east warm room. It has been set up as the empress's delivery room. All the things need to be put in place. We dare not ask others to do it, so we have to clean it up ourselves." Lu Mei said.
Ye Jun nodded, "Help me up, I have been sleeping for a long time."
Lumei was serving when she heard footsteps and kneeling sounds outside. It was the Emperor coming.
Sure enough, not long after, the familiar figure entered the inner room.
"Did you just wake up? Why do you look like you cried?" Ning Chen could tell something was wrong at first glance.
Lumei hurriedly explained that she was crying because of the cramp in her legs.
Ning Chen felt distressed and said, "Why not ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
"It's normal for pregnant women to have leg cramps. It's no use even if the imperial physician treats me. I've already massaged it and it doesn't hurt anymore. I was just about to get up and go out for a walk." Ye Jun looked very weak.
I slept for an hour. Maybe because I slept too long, I still haven't recovered.
Ning Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll go out with you to see the peach blossoms, okay?"
Ye Jun responded sullenly.
At this moment, Ning Chen caught a glimpse of Lumei who was about to help Ye Jun put on her embroidered shoes. He was moved and took them over. He half squatted down and wanted to put them on for Ye Jun himself.
Seeing him like this, Ye Jun didn't refuse and stretched out her feet.
The servants all lowered their heads and dared not look.
If you tell others that the emperor bent down to put shoes on his concubine, no one would believe it.
But now they are wearing it, and both of them seem to think there is no problem with it, and they are very calm.
After I settled down, Huiyue and Nanzhi came to serve me. They helped me change my clothes and simply comb my hair.
Ye Yun usually doesn't like to wear makeup, today she just drew her eyebrows.
But her skin was fair, especially when she had just woken up, her skin was even whiter and more rosy, just like a peach. Standing in the warm afternoon spring sunshine, her whole body was as soft as a delicate flower.
There is no such thing as becoming ugly during pregnancy. In fact, Ye Yun's skin has become better after this pregnancy.
"Why is the emperor staring at me like this? Is there something on my face?" Ye Jun asked in surprise.
He reached out and touched his face, but didn't find anything wrong.
Ning Chen held her hand as usual, with a faint smile in his eyes, "I just think that you are extremely beautiful, with a face like a peach blossom. If you give birth to a princess, she will definitely be a stunning beauty in the future."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he said it, Ye Jun glared at him.
He held his stomach with one hand and spoke half jokingly.
"Of these two little ones, at least one must look like me. Jing'er is growing more and more like the emperor, not like me at all. I am worried that my pregnancy of ten months will be in vain again."
What's important is the participation award or something like that. It's enough to win it once. She should at least see some of her achievements.
These words made Ning Chen laugh and cry.
"How can we control the appearance of a child? Neither you nor I are ugly, so the child will naturally be good-looking."
"That's the truth." Ye Jun raised her eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes like stars, "Your Majesty is handsome, I like you."
The sudden praise made Ning Chen feel a little uncomfortable, and the tips of his ears started to feel hot.
Ye Jun smiled as he looked at her, leaning closer and lowering his voice, "The Emperor is just as handsome even when he is shy."
Ning Chen felt very embarrassed by such provocation, so he quickly changed the subject and took the man to appreciate the peach blossoms.
