Chapter 85 Outsiders
Li Chongyuan found out about Tao Meiren's meal in Wenhua Palace.

Immediately, her mind became active, and she immediately sent someone to Wenhua Hall to invite His Majesty to come to Yichun Palace for dinner in the evening.

At the same time, she called Xiao Meiren to her and told her to prepare well.

Facing Li Chongyuan's order, Xiao Meiren couldn't help but sigh.

The last time His Majesty stayed overnight, it was just a simple stay, presumably because of Li Chongyuan's face.

If you stay overnight again this time...

I'm afraid it will be the same as the last time, since that's the case, what can I do if I don't stay overnight?
On the next day, Li Chongyuan would call herself to the front and interrogate her carefully. Thinking of this, Xiao Meiren sighed again.

But she also understands that Li Chongyuan does this for her own good.

After all, in the harem, the favored concubines will have a better life and have a better chance to climb up.

In addition, there is another point, that is, after serving the bed, she may be pregnant with the emperor's heir.

Now there are no heirs born in the palace, and Li Chongyuan's child is still in her womb. If she can conceive earlier and give birth to a prince, she will have more chances.

For the concubines in the palace, in the end, the heirs are the biggest reliance.

It doesn't matter if it's a princess or a prince, as long as it can be born and raised, that's good.

After the afternoon lecture, Zhao Jing got a report from Jiang Hai. He sat at the table, pondered for a while, and then gave an order.

So, the dragon chariot headed towards Yichun Palace.

On the side of Yichun Palace, Li Chongyuan was very happy when she heard that His Majesty was coming here. She called Miss Xiao to her and waited for His Majesty with her.

On the other side, the news was sent back to Fengming Palace.

Xie Zhao is getting someone to prepare the meal.

She also heard about Tao Meiren's visit to the Wenhua Palace at noon, and reckoned that other concubines in the harem must also make moves.

Originally, she guessed, either Li Chongyuan, after all, she is pregnant and has the most advantage, or Shen Chongrong, after all, she is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and she has known His Majesty since childhood.

No matter which one of the two of them it is, His Majesty should go, and it can be considered as a face to the other party.

Xiao Yun stood aside, looking carefully at his master's expression, seeing that his expression was different from when he heard His Majesty went to the harem before, he guessed that it should be because of Madam Hou's entry into the palace today.

The master is in a good mood, and her majesty will not affect her if she goes elsewhere.

Xiao Yun would never have imagined that when his expression was different before, even though he was also the Empress, she was Your Majesty inside.

-

When Zhao Jing came to Yichun Palace, he not only saw Li Chongyuan, but also Xiao Meiren.

He has no impression of Beauty Xiao, the only memory he has is because Xie Zhao told him that Beauty Xiao helped guide Xie Jun.

Other than that, nothing.

Li Chongyuan graciously greeted Zhao Jing to sit down, and then let Xiao Meiren sit beside Zhao Jing.

"Your Majesty, pass the meal?" She asked with a smile, her tone was still the same as before.

Zhao Jing hadn't heard Li Chongyuan's voice for a long time, and he couldn't help shivering all of a sudden.

He suddenly understood what Xie Zhao said, and he felt goosebumps.

"Li Chongyuan." Now it's Li Chongyuan talking, mostly in the tune of nine turns and eighteen turns, Zhao Jing really can't bear it.

"Your Majesty, you used to call concubines and concubines, why have you become Li Chongyuan now~" Zhao Jingchang sighed, still in the tune of nine turns and eighteen turns.

Xie Zhao has a bad temper, so it's not good to call him Aifei, but it's easy for her, because she can't call it herself.

"I remember, you didn't talk like this before, is it because your throat is uncomfortable? Do you want to see an imperial doctor?"

Looking at Li Chongyuan, Zhao Jing spoke again, Li Chongyuan couldn't help being taken aback, and then understood that His Majesty disliked his tone of voice.

She pursed her lips, and lowered her head a little aggrieved.

"Sister Chongyuan, Your Majesty has no other intentions. You also know that His Majesty was unwell yesterday. Now that you are pregnant, His Majesty must care about you."

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit stagnant, and Beauty Xiao quickly spoke up. She and Li Chongyuan lived in Yichun Palace, so she knew Li Chongyuan's temperament very well.

She is actually a nice person, but she tends to think too much, especially now that she is pregnant, she is more willing to think too much.

"Really?" Li Chongyuan finally changed her tone and looked up at Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jingjing nodded, admiring Xie Zhao even more in his heart.

Seeing His Majesty nodded, Li Chongyuan smiled again, and she continued to talk to Zhao Jing, no longer in nine to eighteen tunes.

Zhao Jing felt much more at ease.

After dinner in Yichun Palace, Zhao Jing wanted to leave, but Li Chongyuan didn't want him to leave, so she tried her best to persuade Zhao Jing to stay.

"The concubine is pregnant and cannot serve His Majesty. Your Majesty is usually busy with court affairs and cannot come to visit the concubine. The concubine has children to accompany her, but Miss Xiao has nothing. Your Majesty, why don't you just stay and accompany Beauty Xiao today?" !"

Li Chongyuan felt that compared with the last time, His Majesty was very difficult to persuade this time.

Xiao Meiren was at the side, hesitant to speak several times, she wanted to say that she was really fine, if His Majesty wanted to leave, then just leave.

But Li Chongyuan kept telling His Majesty that it was hard for her to speak.

"Forget it, then tell someone to prepare hot water." When Xie Zhao stayed in Yichun Palace, he just stayed overnight, and he could do the same.

Furthermore, he actually wanted to see how Xie Zhao would react after he stayed in the palace overnight.
"Yes." Li Chongyuan responded with a smile, blinked at Xiao Meiren, and motioned her to accompany His Majesty back to her bedroom.

"Your Majesty, please." Xiao Meiren was a little apprehensive after receiving the signal, she didn't know if something would happen this time.

Zhao Jing followed Beauty Xiao out of the palace, it was very dark today, he looked up.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be raining." Beauty Xiao also stopped and looked towards the sky.

Zhao Jing frowned slightly, and he noticed that the sky had flashed a few times just now.

"Your Majesty?" Looking back, seeing His Majesty not moving, Beauty Xiao tried to ask.

Zhao Jing came back to his senses and followed her back to the side hall.

The palace people prepared hot water, and Beauty Xiao was torn between whether she should serve His Majesty to take a bath.

"I don't like outsiders to wait on me when I take a bath." As if seeing what Xiao Meiren was thinking, Zhao Jing said, and immediately, Xiao Meiren breathed a sigh of relief.

She retreated to the outer room on the other side, leaned on the soft couch and looked out the window.

There was a wind blowing outside the hall, and a puff of water vapor was brought in. She looked up to the sky, and there was a faint flash of lightning.

It looked like it was going to thunder.

Zhao Jing was soaked in the bathtub, feeling uneasy. He stayed in Yichun Palace, on the one hand, he had no plans to do anything, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Xie Zhao's attitude.

But now, looking at the sky outside, it was obvious that it was going to rain, which was okay, but the flashing lightning meant that thunder was likely.

Xie Zhao was afraid of thunder.

She was in Fengming Palace, even if there was a thunderstorm, Xiao Yun and others would accompany her, but Zhao Jing was still worried.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear thunder coming from outside the hall...

 Zhao Jing: [Facing Beauty Xiao] I don't like outsiders to wait on me when I take a bath.

  [Facing Xie Zhao] Xie Zhao, come here and wipe my back.
