Zimu's temper became a little strange after she became pregnant. She used to be able to pretend to be gentle, but now she is too lazy to even pretend.

Sometimes Hongli was very cautious when he went to Yongshou Palace, for fear that Zimu would roll his eyes if he said something wrong.

"Her Majesty the Queen and Sister Hui?"

Zimu looked at the box of fine-quality oriental pearls sent by Hongli, fiddled with them with his slender fingers, and asked as he listened to the sound of the pearls colliding.

"Master, apart from the Empress and Consort Hui, you are the only one who got the full box of Dongzhu that Li presented as tribute. The other masters and nobles only got a few."

"Okay, but..." Zimu looked at the pure gold tassels made of mutton-fat jade and a red beaded necklace tassel: "These two tassels look noble and elegant, but they don't look like they were made by the Imperial Household Department at all."

"The master has a very good eye."

Jinzhong picked up the string of pure gold tassels made of mutton-fat jade and brought it to Zimu's banner, smiling with satisfaction, "This was specially made by a skilled craftsman from outside the palace. It is not much different from the usual style of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is difficult for others to tell the difference."

"Well, what about the other string?"

"Oh, that was given to Master Ling by Eunuch Li."

"Li Yu, isn't he your master?"

What's going on between these master and disciple?

"Eunuch Li is naturally my servant's master."

But that doesn’t mean I have to speak well of him just because I help him carry things. Of course, Jinzhong added this silently in his heart.

"I haven't seen Li Yu for a while. Is he busy in front of the emperor?"

"Princess Duanshu will be back in the next few days, and Eunuch Li has been busy with this matter beside the Emperor."

"Oh"

"I know that your master has not had a good appetite recently and has not been able to eat. These are the dried crab apples and dried plums that I brought to you when I was out of the palace on business."

As Jinzhong spoke, he opened the food box next to him, which was filled with two layers of dried plums and dried crab apples.

Jinzhong spent a lot of money to hire people to bring them back from all over the country.

After Zimu pinched a piece of dried sand apple and put it in his mouth, he felt much better. After eating two dried plums, Zimu felt like he was alive again.

When she wanted to continue eating, Jinzhong stopped her.

"Master Ling, this is what you vomited when you were feeling uncomfortable. Eating too much is not good for you. Can we eat something?"

Zimu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't want to eat."

"Oh, my Lord, even if I beg you to eat, you are pregnant with a dragon heir, how can your body bear not being able to eat now?"

Jinzhong coaxed Zimu into eating something with all his might, while Lancui, Chunchan and Suoxin were almost moved to tears.

Their master has been vomiting everything he eats for several days. Now he is not only in a bad mood, but his temper has also become more and more severe.

“Are these two preserves easy to buy?”

After finishing a whole bowl of blood bird's nest stewed with milk, Zimu asked the person next to him while eating candied fruit.

"Ah? It's easy to buy. As long as you eat well, everything is easy to buy. I will bring you whatever you want."

Jinzhong was relieved when he saw that Zimu was finally able to eat something without vomiting, and he answered respectfully.

"Then send more next time. This little bit won't last long."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

……

Lan Cui and the other three only breathed a sigh of relief after Jinzhong left.

After all, although Eunuch Jinzhong appears to be very virtuous in front of their master, this does not mean that he is really virtuous.

The rumors about the emperor being the most cruel and ruthless cannot be groundless.

"My Lord, Eunuch Jinzhong is the most petty-minded. You even asked him about Manager Li... You are really..."

Chunchan recalled that when Zimu said that he hadn't seen Manager Li for some time, Eunuch Jinzhong's expression changed almost as fast as turning the pages of a book, and her heart started pounding.

"Yes, Master Jinzhong's expression changed just like when you turn the pages of a book."

Suoxin also nodded desperately.

Seeing that the three maids were frightened by Jinzhong, Zimu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "I say, are you three my maids or Jinzhong's?"

"Of course we are the master's maids, but Eunuch Jinzhong is too scary."

Zimu poked Chunchan's head in anger and amusement and comforted her, "It's okay. If they dare to make trouble, I have my own way to deal with them."

Chunchan immediately perked up when she heard this, and asked hastily, with a tone of gloating that anyone could hear: "So how does the master plan to deal with them?"

Zimu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile as he said, "If they dare to start a quarrel or cause trouble, I will not want them anymore."

After hearing this, the three of them all showed expressions of horror.

Chunchan's eyes widened even more, and she stammered, "Ah... that's not necessary."

"Indeed, my Lord, Chief Steward Li and Eunuch Jinzhong are actually quite good people, and they care about you just as much as the Emperor does."

Zi Mu looked at Chun Chan and the others' reactions and couldn't help laughing. He explained, "I was just joking. Li Yu and Jin Zhong are both very nice people. Look how scared you all are."

Chunchan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to be hated by those two people at all.

Zi Mu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Look at how timid you three are. How can you be like the head maids of my Yongshou Palace? You are all useless."

After hearing this, Chunchan and the others lowered their heads in embarrassment and responded in unison: "Yes, Master."

"Hehe, I have to find a chance to marry you off quickly, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for me."

"Master~"

"What I said is true. Imperial Doctor Jiang Xin has been waiting for you, and he has promised me that he will never take a concubine in the future. I am very confident that you will marry him."

"Master..." Suo Xin didn't expect that Zi Mu really remembered what he said.

Especially in the past two years, the three of them received some rewards from time to time. In addition, they did not spend any money working in Yongshou Palace, so they all became wealthy women.

Now that Zimu suddenly brought it up, Suo Xin felt a little embarrassed.

"And you, Lan Cui. I have seen the guards from the Palace of Heavenly Purity come to see you many times. When can you bring me here to see you?"

"Master" Lan Cui didn't expect that there would be things of her own to do. She immediately became angry and embarrassed, and secretly cursed Zhao Jiuxiao in her heart.

"I have inquired about it. Zhao Jiuxiao is an ambitious person. His parents are gone. He has no brothers or sisters. If you marry him, you will be the mistress of the house and no one will suffer any injustice for you."

“…My Lord.”

"Doctor Suo Xinjiang has both good parents. He is willing to let his only son wait for you. He is also willing to marry you. You just need to live a good life in the future."

Chunchan was genuinely happy for the two little sisters as she saw that they had found their homes.

But before she could be happy for long, Zimu poured a bucket of cold water on her.
