What is different from the past is that at the beginning of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Qizhen, who had always been unwilling to disturb his wife's sleep, uncharacteristically pulled up Tan Yunxian who was sleeping after he woke up.

"Oh, can you let me sleep for a while more, Yuan Bao?" Tan Yunxian sat on the bed with his legs closed and closed his eyes. He yawned with his willow eyebrows tightly frowned, his words were laziness and coquettish.

After the words fell, the person lay down straight on the pillow.Zhu Qizhen turned his head and lowered his eyes, seeing Tan Yunxian sleeping soundly under the quilt, he smiled helplessly, shook his head, and sighed deeply.Alas—forget it, let her continue to sleep, and let Ding Xiang tell her the same when she wakes up!

Thinking in this way, Zhu Qizhen got up to wash up alone as usual, and finished his meal.Before leaving, he left behind his personal maid, Ding Xiang, and said: "When the queen gets up, go to Shufangzhai with her, and tell her that I have a gift for her! Remember, don't tell the queen until you see the gift." , What is the gift I gave her!"

Ding Xiang suppressed a smile, bowed and said "yes" and watched Zhu Qizhen walk out of Qianqing Palace.

Pregnant women are really sleepy, and Tan Yunxian fell asleep again this day until Chen Si had sex with him before waking up naturally.As soon as he put his feet down on the pedals, he saw Lilac pushing the door and walking in.

Ding Xiang said with a smile: "Empress Empress, you are awake!"

Tan Yunxian blushed in embarrassment and asked, "What time is it?"

Ding Xiang laughed and said, "It's the end of the day! Your Majesty, do you need servants to come in to serve you? He Xiang, Mo Yu, Qiu Ju and the others are all waiting for your summons outside the hall!"

Tan Yunxian smiled, and said softly: "Okay, call them in!" Ding Xiang yelled out of the hall crisply: "Mo Yu, He Xiang, the empress asked you to come in and serve!"

The three people outside the hall answered in unison, carrying things like washing basins, they filed into the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, and under the arrangement of Ding Xiang, they waited for Tan Yunxian to dress and wash.Finally, Tan Yunxian's Shuangxiang Liuyun bun was combed by Ding Xiang herself.

There are pearls and emerald buds on the temples, pearl tassels, and the rose-colored silk flowers that Zhu Qizhen gave her are stuck on the top of the bun.In front of her forehead, which is parted in the middle of her fortune, she also wears an agate forehead ornament that Zhiyuan paid tribute to, and is matched with a cotton-made long beanie with royal blue Miao embroidered white crane wings, a pleated skirt with rose and purple embroidered flowers, and a pleated skirt lined in the beanie. The silver-gray jacket with a stand-up collar, paired with a gold wreath collar, looks very gorgeous and rich.

Side by side with He Xiang, when slowly lifting Tan Yunxian from the embroidered pier in front of the dressing table, Ding Xiang said: "Empress Empress, when Long Live Lord wakes up this morning, let the maidservant tell Empress that you are welcome to go after breakfast. Su Fangzhai, he has a gift for you! For this reason, he went to Renshou Palace to ask for a leave of absence for you. Therefore, you don’t have to go to Renshou Palace today.”

Hearing this, Tan Yunxian turned to look at Ding Xiang, raised his eyebrows and said "Oh", and asked with a smile: "What gift, why didn't you bring it to Qianqing Palace, and go to Shufangzhai to get it? It's not in the palace to see it." Is it a place for a play? Could it be that Lord Long Live wants to give me a play?"

Ding Xiang was as solemn as ever, and when she spoke, there was no emotion on her not-so-beautiful face: "Forgive me, you can't say it now, this is what the Lord Long Live told you before leaving, saying that slaves are not allowed to reveal secrets. This is an imperial decree." , servants dare not disobey!"

This ingot is really not what it used to be. Not only is it more shrewd and wise than an emperor in government, it knows how to use talents and talents, and it provides good policies for the people.It is in this relationship between men and women that evil has become emotional.At such an old age, he still plays this mysterious game...

All right, let's go see what the hell he's playing with me.

Undoubtedly, Ding Xiang's words successfully aroused Tan Yunxian's curiosity.She smiled and ordered: "He Xiang, Mo Yu, don't hesitate to pass on breakfast to Ben Gong!"

The two maidservants answered yes in unison, bowed and exited the East Nuan Pavilion.

Not long after, a group of palace maids wearing all goose-yellow jackets and skirts, led by He Xiang and Mo Yu, brought in the breakfast in a file and put it on the table with mahogany carved baskets.

Yam cake with jujube paste, crisp sesame cake, white rice porridge with blood bird's nest, cucumber mixed with vinegar...Suddenly, Tan Yunxian couldn't help seeing a bright light, staring at a pair of porcelain jars in the middle of the meal, the corners of his mouth Raising his dignified and beautiful face, he showed a happy smile.

After a while, Tan Yunxian turned his face and asked Mo Yu, who was waiting beside him, "This wolfberry crucian carp soup..."

Mo Yu smiled and said: "Madam, this is what Master Long Live ordered this morning when he was eating!"

Tan Yunxian laughed "puchi", as if honey water flowed into his heart, he just felt sweet.Yuan Bao is really a caring person.His love has never been sweet talk or sweet words, but it makes people feel his strong affection.

Ding Xiang smiled smugly and said, "Marrying Lord Long Live is your greatest blessing!"

Tan Yunxian raised his lips, smiled and nodded.

After breakfast, when he was about to go to Shufangzhai, the maid He Xiang thoughtfully took out the jacquard Shu brocade cloak with a snow cap from Zhu Qizhen, which had just entered the winter, and gave it to Tan Yunxian to wrap it in. Tan Yunxian was very pleased with the delicate and delicate movements.Attracted by Mo Yu, Ding Xiang praised at the side: "Hexiang girl is really getting better and better at serving!"

Tan Yunxian smiled and said: "No, such a useful girl should be rewarded!"

"It's all thanks to the sisters, what's the credit of the slaves?" He Xiang said shyly, and Ding Xiang helped Tan Yunxian down the steps, and got into the prepared car.

The coachman flicked his whip violently and yelled "Woo!" The two white horses rattled away from the Qianqing Palace and drove slowly in the secluded Long Street and Yongxiang with red walls and golden tiles on both sides.

The carriage was swaying towards Shufangzhai, and palaces with similar appearances passed by like flashes of lightning.The bells tied on both sides of the carriage made a very pleasant jingling sound, giving the people in the carriage the illusion of going out to play.

"Does your lady feel cold?" In the carriage, apart from Empress Tan Yunxian, there were also two maids and maids accompanying her.One is Lilac, a female official next to the emperor, and the other is Hexiang, a maidservant.It was He Xiang who asked this question.She is the youngest but the most well-behaved and sensible among the maids serving the queen.She was sitting next to Tan Yunxian, turning her face to look at her with concern.

Tan Yunxian smiled and shook his head, sweetly said two words "not cold", don't need to think hard, she also guessed that things like putting a portable stove in the carriage must be ordered by Zhu Qizhen.

Ding Xiang at the side turned around, lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you have passed the West Sixth Palace Yong Lane, and you will arrive at the gate of Shufangzhai not far after passing through the Imperial Garden."

Tan Yunxian didn't hide the excitement and excitement in his heart for a while, raised his eyebrows and said anxiously, "Really?" The two girls Ding Xiang and He Xiang who were waiting beside him giggled.That's right, Tan Yunxian's sternness and rigidity are only when he is teaching medical girls and explaining medical pharmacology and righteous medical ethics to them.On weekdays, she never put on airs like a queen in front of maidservants and medical ladies.She has a good temper and is close to people. The servants eunuchs, doctors, and concubines only respect her and have no fear when they see her.

Occasionally, she would make fun of her little girlish appearance occasionally, and Tan Yunxian was not angry either.

Ding Xiang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Oh, it is true. The ancients said that thinking is like madness if you don't see him for a day. But, how can it compare to our empress? I haven't seen Lord Long Live for only an hour, so I just think like this..."

Hearing this, two blushes rose on Tan Yunxian's cheeks, and the brows under his eyes were also dyed crimson. He cast a coquettish glance at Lilac, and said with a smile: "In front of him, you dare to be so presumptuous?"

Ding Xiang burst out laughing with a "puchi", squinting at Tan Yunxian as a friend and teasingly said: "Look how jealous! Why, are you worried that Long Live Lord will have a long-term love for slaves?" Speaking of this, she again He sighed seriously and said: "Yunxian, you really have changed!"

Tan Yunxian tilted his head to look at her, and asked with a smile: "Changed? Tell me, how did I change?"

Ding Xiang also pretended to be thinking. After looking up and thinking for a while, she held Tan Yunxian's hand, but her words became solemn: "Yunxian, you have become more concerned about gains and losses. If Long Live God sees you like this , how comforting and joyful you will be in your heart, can you imagine it?"

Tan Yunxian stretched out his other hand to cover their intertwined hands, nodded with a smile, and looked at them with a smile.

Suddenly, He Xiang's joyful shout hit their eardrums, "Niang Niang, Shu Fang Zhai is here!" The two of them woke up as if they had been enlightened, and said in unison: "Ah, it's here?"

He Xiang giggled and said: "No, the empress will see the gift from Lord Long Live soon!" As she spoke, she stood up from her seat and together with Ding Xiang, waited for Tan Yunxian to get out of the carriage.

"Your Majesty, walk slowly, be careful of your feet." Ding Xiang whispered in her ear, and as she spoke, the arms supporting Tan Yunxian protected a little more, and He Xiang also protected Tan Yunxian just like her.

As soon as she entered the door of Shufangzhai, across a screen wall of yellow tiles and red bricks, Tan Yunxian heard voices that filled her with mixed feelings and surprises.

"Sigh, I don't know who is this Empress Tan, who is so favored by the Lord Long Live, and wants to hire a folk troupe to celebrate the new year for her before she can be named a queen. Don't you think it's strange? Bi Niang, Don't you think Yoon Hyun is a bit abnormal?"

"what?"

"Since the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, we said goodbye to Yunxian in Xitang, and we haven't heard any news from her. In the past, although we had differences, she would write to us every time we said goodbye! But this time... I, she should You won't run into any trouble, will you?"

Before Wang Daozhang finished his words, Chen Biniang complained for a while: "Bah, bah, you bastard, shut your crow's mouth quickly! Yunxian is practicing medicine outside, and he is the one who has a lot of blessings by hanging the pot to help the world. How is it like you? You will be bluffing and cheating! Let me tell you, this is the palace, you better control your stinking mouth and stop talking nonsense. If you offend the people in the palace, our entire theater troupe will fall with you .At that time, how will you wash away your sins?"

"Tch—you can talk like a magpie, so you'll be pleasing, right? You should think about the reality, Bi Niang, she's a weak woman, and she's practicing medicine alone. A single, dishonest, hooligan. She, she doesn't know how to punch, how can she not suffer? Ah, how can she not suffer? Is it my crow's mouth, or are you too naive?"

As soon as the words fell, only Wang Daochang's miserable cry was heard.Then came Chen Biniang's pungent words, "I'm not dead, you'll pay it back if you haven't rented a house for three days! Hurry up and put on your makeup, and grind your lips here. The emperor and empress will come to the theater later, you..."

"Empress Tan, Empress Tan, who is so sacred and so noble!"

Wang Daochang's muttering was not low, and Tan Yunxian outside the screen wall of Shufangzhai heard it clearly, she was so happy that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter, her beautiful face was flushed red.

It turned out that this was the gift Qi Zhen gave me.The master and Bi Niang didn't know why the emperor invited them into the palace to act.Hehe, he really wants to surprise us both by doing this!

Ding Xiang yelled crisply, "The queen is here!" With their support, Tan Yunxian walked around from behind the screen wall to the center of the yard with her half-bulging belly.Coincidentally, I had a face-to-face meeting with Daoist Wang, Chen Biniang, who came out to pick him up.Chen Biniang exclaimed, "Yunxian!"

Daoist Wang also forgot the etiquette, and stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar lady in fine attire in front of him.He shook his head in disbelief, then nodded again.

He tilted his head and stared at Tan Yunxian, frowning, thinking hard.This, this is Yunxian?No, not just now... Someone called the Queen to come?How did you meet Yun Yin?Could it be, impossible, impossible, how could it be possible for Long Live God and Yun Xian... It's just that the lady in front of me really, really looks exactly like Yun Xian, like twins.

Just thinking about it made his brain cramp, and his forehead was jumping and jumping, which made Daochang Wang feel a little dizzy, but he didn't get around the smell, so he figured out why.

On the other hand, the people in the theater troupe, although they were also full of suspicion, did not dare to do whatever they wanted like Wang Daochang, who was free and unconstrained, and knelt down in the cold snow under the leadership of Chen Biniang , shouting in unison, "Miss Qiantui"

Tan Yunxian smiled kindly: "Get up, everyone, you don't need to be polite when you get up to see me. Bi Niang, get up quickly too. I really didn't expect to see everyone here."

"Yunxian, you... you will not be, you will be..."

"That's right! Master, Bi Niang, I am Empress Tan!" Tan Yunxian was pleasantly surprised, joyful, and even more moved to see Master and Bi Niang in the palace, as well as friends from the troupe.Xiao Weiwei's words are like throwing a boulder into a river, stirring up waves.

Wang Daochang felt that he seemed to be dreaming, and his mind was as confused as cooking porridge.As before, he took Tan Yunxian's hand without hesitation, still with an unbelievable tone and expression: "Yunxian, you are Queen Tan? Really? You are not with King Tan...how could it be?"

With a "snap", Wang Daochang and Tan Yunxian instinctively pulled back after being slapped, and turned his face for a while, and what caught his eyes was Chen Biniang's gritted teeth and staring eyes. Cuju, who had been vented, suddenly became half wilted.The appearance of "fear of internal affairs" made Tan Yunxian's three masters and servants, as well as the actors in the troupe burst into laughter.Chen Biniang didn't save him any face, she twisted his ear and scolded: "Immortal, nonsense is not enough, you dare to touch the emperor's woman, are you dying!"

Wang Daochang howled like a pig, "Oh, you mother-in-law, let me go, you, don't you know Yunxian? She really is, it is Yunxian, oh, it hurts me to death, you mother-in-law How ruthless!" I tried my best to rescue my Zhaofenger from Chen Biniang's clutches.

"Yunxian is the queen now, do you understand the queen?" Chen Biniang said harshly, but she was also full of doubts and wanted to ask Tan Yunxian to clarify.She is straight-hearted, she always says what she says, and she never hides and plays tricks.

"Understood, what don't you understand? The empress is the emperor's eldest wife!" Daoist Wang rolled his eyes at Bi Niang contemptuously.His folk slang made everyone laugh again.

"That, that empress, you and the emperor..."

"Biniang, please call me Yunxian! Whether I am Yunxian or Empress Tan, I am still your friend after all. So, please don't call me differently."

It has been more than ten years since she knew Yunxian, and Chen Biniang has never seen Yunxian like this. Her beautiful appearance carries a dignified, peaceful and tolerant temperament of her mother.

In a daze, Tan Yunxian's gentle words came from his ears: "I know, after seeing me, what you most want to understand is why I am with the current emperor, right?"

"Yeah, I, we want to know about you and the emperor"

Only Ding Xiang reminded her in her ear: "Madam, let's sit inside, you are still pregnant and you should not stand for a long time." In fact, these words are also reminding Wang Daochang and others.

After the words fell, Wang Daochang and Bi Niang opened their eyes wide in shock.Looking down, she really found that her delicate body could hardly hide her slightly bulging abdomen under the heavy and luxurious clothes.Daoist Wang hurriedly said: "Ah, Yunxian is pregnant? Why, it's so fast. Oops, the master was negligent, Yunxian, let's go in and sit down and talk."

"Yes, yes Yunxian, let's go in and sit and talk!" Chen Biniang took the words and said with a smile.
