   Chapter 201 Aftermath (1)

   "Aren't you going to enter the palace?"

"not going."

   All afternoon, Li Jing didn't go anywhere, just circling around Lu Mingyu. Lu Mingyu wanted to open his mouth to shove people, but he couldn't do it at all.

Lu Mingyu had long since recovered from the shock and joy. Looking at Li Jing, who was still immersed in excitement, he was quite speechless: "The child is in the womb, and now it is a little smaller, and it has to grow up slowly. What's the use of revolving around me now?"

  Li Jing fully demonstrated how stupid a first-time father can be: "I am full of you and my children now, and I don't want to go anywhere. The mother will be considerate, you can rest assured."

  Lu Mingyu had to follow him.

   When it was time for dinner, there was another joke.

  Li Jing insisted on sitting beside Lu Mingyu. Wherever Lu Mingyu's eyes wandered, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks and piled Lu Mingyu's bowl full.

  Lu Mingfang and others couldn't help laughing.

  Lu Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where can I eat so much."

  Li Jing grinned and said, "Eat slower and eat more."

   That smile was bright enough to blind people.

  After dinner, Lu Mingyu used to go for a walk in the garden to digest food. Li Jing carefully supported Lu Mingyu's arm, that posture was even more standard than Xiao Yuan.

  Lu Mingyu was very useful, and laughed and teased: "You must not be seen by the queen mother. Otherwise, she doesn't know how to feel sorry for you!"

  Li Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You said that, but you don't know the mother too well. You will be happy when you enter the door, and even the mother can't wait to hold you."

   "If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

  Lu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled.

   When she was pregnant in her previous life, Concubine Su was also very happy. All day long, warm and attentive. At that time, she hadn't seen Concubine Su's true face yet, so she was lucky to have a good mother-in-law.

   Now that I think about it, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can never be as close as mother and daughter. It is a blessing to be able to respect and understand each other while keeping a distance, and to tolerate each other in the face of a son or husband.

  Li Jing saw that Lu Mingyu didn't believe it, so he didn't say much. He helped Lu Mingyu wander around the garden for half an hour.

   When Lu Mingyu was about to take a bath, Li Jing wanted to follow, but was forced out by Lu Mingyu who couldn't bear it anymore: "Go out! If you don't leave, I'll do it."

   Li Jing immediately smiled and said, "I'll go out right now. Don't be annoyed, don't move your tire gas."

  Lu Mingyu didn't look in the mirror, so he didn't see the smile blooming in his eyes.

  …

   On the same night, the eldest prince and his wife faced each other coldly, and they were very worried about each other.

   The eldest prince returned without success, and the eldest prince concubine was naturally unhappy, and complained a few words openly and secretly.

  The eldest prince was in a bad mood, so he immediately stabbed him back: "Yang Gong gave birth to a son, and he is also a concubine. If you have the mind to think about this, you should think about giving birth to your own son earlier."

   The first princess was stabbed in the heart and lungs, and her eyes suddenly turned red and she cried.

   Doesn't she want to?

   Finally got pregnant with a child, but because of worrying about excessive miscarriage, he hurt his body. He watched helplessly as a palace servant was pregnant, and was taken into the palace to raise a baby by the ill-intentioned Concubine Meng. She has always been the one whose heart is fried.

But the eldest prince rubbed salt on her wound: "Lu's family was pregnant when she entered the house. She gave birth to a daughter, and she was the eldest granddaughter of the emperor. When she gave birth to a son, she was the grandson of the emperor. The two of us were married more than three years ago. , but the heir is a step slower."

What?

  Lu Mingyu is happy?

   The eldest prince and concubine didn't care to cry anymore, and wiped her tears indiscriminately: "What Your Highness said is true? Lu Mingyu is happy?"

"I can't talk nonsense about such things." The eldest prince snorted and said angrily: "Li Jing didn't say anything, just sent someone to Jiaofang Palace to announce the good news. The queen went to Wenhua Palace, and the concubine made a guess. You know what's going on."

   "I went to see the mother-in-law and wanted to bring the people from Yang Gong back to the house. Without saying a word, the mother-in-law scolded me."

   "Mother and concubine are angry, you should give up this idea!"

   "If you have this idea, it's better to take good care of your body. Get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to an heir. Otherwise, how can you, the eldest daughter-in-law, stand up in front of the Lu family. I'm also a head shorter in front of my second brother."

   The eldest prince stared blankly at the mean-spirited eldest prince.

The eldest prince did not pay attention to the dejectedness of the eldest prince and concubine, and continued: "There is an imperial doctor in the palace who is good at recuperating the body. I will go and ask the emperor to invite the imperial doctor into the palace. You can take care of your body in peace, and don't worry about the rest. I thought about it."

   After saying that, the eldest prince got up and left.

  The First Prince Concubine watched the First Prince's figure go away, and the bitterness in her heart spread rapidly, even the tip of her tongue was bitter.

  …

   That night, Emperor Yongjia went to Jiaofangdian to stay overnight.

   is neither the first day nor the fifteenth.

   Concubine Meng, who favored the crown harem, was so angry that she barely slept all night.

  Concubine Qin Xian, who was very active, thought about it carefully after knowing this. The next day, I went to Shouning Palace to say goodbye, and said a few words, intentionally or unintentionally: "...I heard that the queen went to Wenhua Palace yesterday, and the emperor went to Jiaofang Palace in the evening. Thinking about it, there must be something happy."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was idle, and immediately became curious: "What kind of happy event will it be? Could it be because the third prince got married in two days?"

   This is also not right!

   Li Hao got married, how could Queen Qiao be so happy. Emperor Yongjia should also go to Concubine Su's bedroom.

  Concubine Qin Xian put on an embarrassed expression: "This concubine doesn't know either. The concubine doesn't have the courage to ask the queen!"

   This is not a problem for Empress Dowager Zhao at all.

  The Empress Dowager Zhao immediately said: "Come here, pass the word of Aijia, and ask the Queen to come to Shouning Palace."

  The mother-in-law wants to see the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has no reason not to come. Not only did Queen Qiao want to come, she had to respectfully greet her and wait for the Queen Mother Zhao to make things difficult and mean.

   Empress Dowager Zhao didn't go around the corner, she opened her mouth and asked, "What was the happy event in the Jiaofang Hall yesterday?"

   Queen Qiao frowned and glanced at Concubine Qin Xian.

  Concubine Qin Xian hurriedly smiled apologetically: "All the ministers and concubines are talkative, and I just mentioned a sentence in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was curious, so she called the Empress Dowager to inquire."

   Queen Zhao's expression darkened slightly, and she glanced at Queen Qiao unhappily: "What? Is there anything I can't tell Aijia?"

   The First Prince’s Concubine Liang’s precedent. Lu Mingyu was pregnant, and she didn't want to announce it early. Damn concubine Qin Xian! It was clear that he had guessed some clues, and deliberately used Mrs. Zhao to respond to her later.

   Queen Qiao was secretly angry. But Empress Dowager Zhao was staring at her, and she couldn't help but answer. After all, it was impossible to keep Lu Mingyu's pregnancy a secret.

   Queen Qiao had to say: "There is indeed a happy event. Mrs. Lu was happy when she entered the door and was diagnosed with a happy pulse. Because of the short time, the baby has not yet settled down, and the daughter-in-law was not in a hurry to announce the good news."
