"The Emperor has won again..." An Lingrong said in frustration, but the Emperor burst into laughter...

The laughter spread out, Su Peisheng handed the teacup in his hand to Xiao Xiazi and waved the whisk in his hand:

"I think it's alright... I'll go take a rest, you stay here, be smart..."

Xiao Xiazi nodded: "Master, please go quickly. You haven't had a proper nap for a whole day and night..." Xiao Xiazi looked at the dark circles under Su Peisheng's eyes and felt distressed...

An Lingrong was helping the Emperor take his afternoon nap. On such a hot day, the Emperor actually hugged An Lingrong and refused to let go. An Lingrong was so angry that she just wanted to hit him...

Yikun Palace.

"Is the Emperor not here yet?" Concubine Hua got up from the bed and asked Songzhi who came in with a bowl of bird's nest.

"My lady, you are pregnant now. Doctor Jiang said that it is not yet three months, and the fetus is not stable. You should rest well..." Songzhi put down the tray in her hand, walked quickly to Concubine Hua, helped her stand up, and put a soft pillow behind her...

"Songzhi, tell me, has the emperor really disliked me because of that bitch?" Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs.

"How could that be, Your Majesty? You and the Emperor have had a friendship since the old days in the palace. How could the Emperor dislike you because of her? The Emperor is very busy with affairs. If he has time, he will definitely come to see you."

Songzhi helped Concubine Hua to rest, then brought the bird's nest on the small table to Concubine Hua and said:

"My lady, you haven't used much since yesterday. Huang Guiquan from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent back some blood swallows. I stewed a pot for you. Please use some."

Songzhi scooped a spoonful and handed it to Concubine Hua's lips.

Hua Fei shook her head and said, "Let it go for now."

"My lady, if not for yourself, you should also use some for the baby in your belly..." Songzhi advised while looking at Concubine Hua's belly.

"You're right. I may not eat, but my child still has to eat..." Concubine Hua raised her hand and gently stroked her belly, then opened her mouth and ate.

"Is the emperor not done with his work yet?" Concubine Hua leaned on the Luohan bed, looking towards the gate of Yikun Palace from time to time, and asked Songzhi beside her.

"I'll go and take a look." Songzhi looked at the worried-looking Concubine Hua, and when she saw Concubine Hua nod, she went to the Yangxin Palace.

Songzhi went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, but was stopped by Xiao Xiazi, who said that the emperor was still taking a lunch break and did not even let her enter the door of the Yangxin Palace.

"Is the Emperor here?" Hua Fei said as she touched the hairpin in her hair. It was not crooked, so she looked behind Song Zhi with joy.

"My lady, the emperor is taking a nap at noon." Songzhi deliberately put on a slightly relaxed smile and spoke.

"It's the Emperor who doesn't want to see me, right?" Hua Fei said, tears streaming down her face...

"My lady, please don't cry. You are pregnant now, so you can't be sad." Songzhi hurriedly stepped forward to support Hua Fei, but Hua Fei couldn't stop...

She just stared at the gate of Yikun Palace, shedding countless tears...

"Songzhi, do my makeup." After a long time, Concubine Hua seemed to have suddenly figured something out. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and stood up.

"My lady..." Songzhi wanted to persuade her, but Concubine Hua had already stood up and sat in front of the dressing table.

Songzhi helped Concubine Hua clean her face and put on her makeup, and asked Songzhi to take out the emperor's favorite crimson dress embroidered with peonies...

"My lady, Wanpin just lost her child. I'm afraid this dress is..." Songzhi spoke in a low voice, and Concubine Hua was stunned...

Yes, even though I was pregnant, the emperor didn't come to see me, and he didn't even send anyone to ask about it. It was all because of that bitch Zhen Huan!

"Change into the pale blue Su embroidery dress." Hua Fei said, and Song Zhi went to get the dress. Although this dress still had color, it was not abrupt, and the emperor would not say anything...

After washing and dressing up, Concubine Hua brought Songzhi and some mung bean and lily soup to the Yangxin Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

An Lingrong had just helped the Emperor get up, packed up everything, and was sipping the freshly brewed tea from Xiao Xiazi...

Outside the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Hua walked slowly towards them, and Su Peisheng hurried to greet her.

"Hello, Empress Hua." Su Peisheng bowed. Empress Hua raised her hand, and Su Peisheng stood up and looked at her.

"What does your Majesty want me to do?" Su Peisheng asked with a smile.

"Who's in there?" A burst of laughter was heard, and Hua Fei's face instantly turned dark.

"Replying to Concubine Hua, the Emperor has sent for Concubine Yi." Su Peisheng continued to greet her with a smile.

"I made some mung bean and lily soup myself today, and I wanted to send it to His Majesty to cool him down. Please go in and report." Seeing that Su Peisheng was quite polite, Concubine Hua did not embarrass him...

"Empress Hua, please wait a moment. I will go in and report." Su Peisheng said as he entered the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua said that the heat is very high today, so she personally cooked mung bean and lily soup and sent it over. She is waiting outside now."

When Su Peisheng came in, he saw An Lingrong peeling grapes for the emperor, so he lowered his head and spoke.

The emperor frowned upon hearing this: "You are getting better at doing your job now!"

"I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Su Peisheng knelt down hurriedly and said with his head down.

"Get up, it's the hottest time of the summer, let her go back and rest." The emperor spoke, and Su Peisheng nodded and left...

"Your Majesty! Everything is my fault. Please forgive me and let me see you." Hua Fei's voice came from outside. It seemed that Su Peisheng failed to persuade her.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is pregnant. We can't be impatient in such a hot day..." An Lingrong persuaded the emperor. The emperor did not say anything for a while, and the voice of Concubine Hua apologizing could still be heard faintly outside.

"Su Peisheng, let her in." The emperor spoke, and Concubine Hua brought Songzhi in.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

"I pay my respects to the Empress Hua, may the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness."

Concubine Hua bowed to the emperor. The emperor raised his hand, Concubine Hua stood up, and An Lingrong also bowed to Concubine Hua.

"So sister Yipin is here too!" Hua Fei was helped to sit down by Songzhi and spoke with a smile, putting her other hand on her lower abdomen and looking at An Lingrong with a smile on her face.

"I would like to congratulate Empress Hua on her pregnancy." An Lingrong maintained the posture of greeting and looked at Empress Hua before speaking.

"Get up." Concubine Hua glanced at An Lingrong, then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's hot today. I cooked some mung bean and lily soup myself. Would your Majesty like some?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Why are you clamoring to see me?" The emperor's face was not good, and he didn't even want to look at Concubine Hua. He was turning the rosary in his hand very quickly. An Lingrong knew that he was very upset.

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant with the heir to the throne. Don't you have anything to tell me?" Concubine Hua looked at the emperor aggrievedly, tears filling her eyes. If she had been like her in the past, she would never have cried in grievance when there were other people around...
