Xiu Yi bowed to Su Yun and said, "I have nothing to do right now, so I am here with my apprentice to prune the branches."

I just said that someone was taking care of Yime Garden, but I didn’t expect it was Xiuyi and Xiaokangzi.

Xiao Kangzi knelt on the ground trembling, hating Xiu Yi a thousand times in his heart.

In this palace coup, the master was clearly a great hero, but who would have thought that the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and the position of chief steward was taken by Jian Shun.

He begged his master to intercede and let him be a eunuch in charge of Yonghua Palace, but his master refused to help.

Su Yun nodded, "These tasks are easy, but Eunuch Xiu should rest more."

"I can still prune the branches."

Su Yun said a few words of concern, and then asked, "Are you and your disciple willing to leave the palace? I will ask the emperor to give you some houses and servants so that you can live out your days in peace, okay?"

Xiuyi knelt down to thank her, "If that is the case, I thank you for your grace."

Xiao Kangzi frowned, he was still so young and didn't want to leave the palace and follow Xiu Yi who had no future.

Xiao Kangzi said: "I, your servant, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I am still young, and if Your Majesty does not mind, I will serve you with all my heart."

Xiuyi turned his head and glanced at Xiaokangzi.

Before, when he was accompanying the emperor in Minghua Palace, he asked Xiaokangzi to pass on messages, but Xiaokangzi often failed to convey the messages well.

He was very suspicious of this little bastard.

However, I didn't delve deeper into the relationship between master and apprentice that had lasted for many years.

Su Yun looked towards Xiu Yi.

Xiuyi kowtowed and said, "Your servant will obey your majesty's orders."

Xiao Kangzi climbed up two steps and said, "Please give me a chance, Madam."

Qingning frowned slightly. What if this Xiaokangzi is really not a good person? Wouldn’t it be a disaster if he stayed around?

So he said, "I heard that Eunuch Xiaokangzi and Manager Xiu are like father and son. Manager Xiu is living out his old age. Isn't it a pity that Eunuch Xiaokangzi doesn't go with him?"

Xiao Kangzi said, "Master is still young. When the day comes that Master is unable to move, I will definitely serve Master."

Xiu Yi lowered his head and let him say whatever he wanted.

A eunuch, who has lost his life, just wants to have a good job in the palace, which can bring honor to his family.

Su Yun said: "I already have enough people here. When the time comes, I will ask Jian Shun."

Xiaokangzi felt a little lost.

But then I thought, Jian Shun has replaced my master, so I should follow Jian Shun first and then take it step by step.

"Yes, I thank you for your grace."

"Everyone, get up."

Xiao Kangzi then helped Xiuyi stand up.

Su Yun looked at Xiu Yi carefully. He was not actually too old to be useful. It was a pity that a new emperor had new ministers, even the servants in the harem were the same.

Yonghua Palace.

Xiao Lusheng had returned a long time ago and was already working in the temporary study next to the bedroom.

He heard footsteps and Yingying's laughter. After a while, when he saw people, he smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Su Yun was holding a bunch of green plums in her hand.

Qingning was guarding on the side, while Tang An was holding a bunch of plum blossoms, including red, yellow, green, and pink.

Su Yun came over with a smile and said, "I picked some plum blossoms for flower arrangement today."

"Yes, I haven't received a flower arrangement from you for a long time."

"I will do it for the emperor right now."

"it is good."

The man smiled and covered her hands, "They're frozen, warm them up for a while before continuing."

Su Yun said: "I don't feel cold."

"How can it not be cold?"

"Maybe it's because I've been walking all the time."

Xiao Lusheng had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qingning had already run over to the silver charcoal to warm herself by the fire.

There is always a bad feeling in my heart.

But he didn't know what to say.

"it is good."

After a few pleasantries, Xiao Lusheng was reviewing memorials while Su Yun and Qingning were picking plum blossoms not far away.

After a while, several bottles were inserted.

Qingning was busy arranging where to place the vase in the room, while Su Yun smiled but said nothing, as she was afraid of disturbing the man while he was working.

Xiao Lusheng remained calm, occasionally looking at her, then smiling it off and continuing to review his papers.

At dinner time.

Su Yun ate some chicken soup, but she couldn't finish the whole chicken, so there was a lot of meat left. She looked at Xiao Lusheng, "I think you've lost weight. You should eat some meat."

Xiao Lusheng said: "I heard that people with double bodies can eat it, so you should eat more."

"I'm not a pig."

"The child is still young, it's normal that you can't eat."

Qing Ning interrupted and said, "Your Majesty is lucky. The little prince is very obedient and loves you. He doesn't bother you at all. So far, your Majesty has not had any pregnancy symptoms."

Jian Shun also said, "Yes, I heard from Chief Steward Xiu that when Li Juanling was pregnant, she vomited so much that she couldn't eat anything."

Su Yun smiled and stroked her belly, "My child really cares about me as a mother."

Xiao Lusheng also said: "He is a very obedient and sensible boy."

"Husband, please eat something." Su Yun still picked up a piece of meat for Xiao Lusheng. She felt that her husband had lost weight.

As the king of a country, you can't really observe mourning for three years and not eat meat, right?

Moreover, I have never heard of a king observing mourning for one or two months.

Xiao Lusheng frowned, "I - I don't have any idea about meat."

"how come?"

Even though she was pregnant, she never said she didn't want to eat meat.

The man sighed.

He picked up the muscle that Su Yun gave him and swallowed his saliva frequently before putting it into his mouth.

Su Yun looked at it steadily.

Xiao Lusheng had no choice but to put it in his mouth. After chewing it for two times, he said, "Ugh—"

"emperor……"

"Xiao Lusheng."

Su Yun, Jian Shun, Qing Ning, and everyone else were startled.

Qingning brought over the spittoon, and Xiao Lusheng spit it all out, looking very disgusted.

Jian Shun had a bitter face, "What's wrong with the emperor? Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician..."

"No!"

Xiao Lusheng stopped Jian Shun directly and said, "This matter is not urgent. I am fine. I just can't smell meat, let alone eat it."

Su Yun: “???”

What's wrong with my husband?

While she was wiping the oil stains from the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, she was thinking, can't he smell or eat meat?

Why does this look so much like a pregnancy reaction?

“Your Majesty, I am worried if the Emperor doesn’t let the imperial physician take a look…” Jian Shun always thought that the Emperor was mourning the late Emperor, so he was still eating vegetarian food.

Who would have thought that the emperor was sick?

Su Yun knew what Jian Shun meant. He wanted her to persuade Xiao Lusheng to ask the imperial physician to come and check his body.

Su Yun shook her head. "Your Majesty is right. At this moment, the Emperor has not yet held the coronation ceremony. His foundation is not stable. If something gets out at this time, both the inside and the outside will be unstable. It is better not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Only then did Jian Shun think of this.

Then he thought, "It would be OK to ask Li Yuanshi."

Xiao Lusheng took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk about it after the New Year." It's not a big deal.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and the renovation and decoration of the palace are gradually going on. We must have a happy new year.

Su Yun waved at him, "Let me show you."
