Empress, she is rising step by step

Yan Qingshu was not afraid at all and waved the lake water with her hands.

Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu were both startled by the sudden "ah" scream. The two of them turned around and saw that the boat Wen Yuanyuan was riding on was shaking violently for some unknown reason.

Wen Yuanyuan swayed, but fortunately Ming Xia held her firmly.

"How can you row a boat!" Wen Yuanyuan was still frightened. She couldn't float at all. If she fell, even if she didn't die, the baby in her belly would be doomed.

The palace man who was rowing the boat was also shocked. "I'm sorry, Wenmei. I don't know why I got a bump. I was fine when I came here. Are you okay?"

"What do you think, if it weren't for my fate, I would have fallen early. Are you sorry? Oh, what do I want from you?"

Wen Yuanyuan said angrily, raised her hand and slapped her hard.

"I think you just don't take things seriously. I'll see the emperor later, and I must let the emperor punish you, this little slave. You'd better be careful with your head."

The palace man was caught off guard and slapped, half of his face was numb. Hearing what Wen Yuanyuan said, even though he was extremely wronged, he did not dare to talk back.

"Don't be angry, beauty, be careful with your body."

Wen Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, "Hurry up and paddle! If it's too late, I won't be able to spare you."

The palace man turned his back and secretly wiped his tears and started rowing hard.

Yan Qingshu couldn't bear to see it, and she was even angrier than if she had been beaten.

"Wenmei has gone too far. Although they are slaves, they are also sons and daughters. Why did she treat them so lowly? The slaves have done something wrong. Just ask them to reflect on it."

Zhu Ci frowned in thought. The palace attendants who picked up and dropped off the concubines were all professionally trained. Moreover, Wen Yuanyuan was pregnant. They didn't know about it, so they would definitely be very careful.

Why did it suddenly bump violently when we reached the middle of the lake? Qiandao Lake is not on the sea. There were not that big waves and there were no rocks, which was really strange.

"Not everyone is as kind-hearted as you. He is also pitiful. I am afraid that if he offends Wen Meiren, he will not get any good results."

The two of them were talking and the boat had already arrived at Lingxiao Island. Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu went to the island hand in hand and walked to Lingxiao Island.

The concubines had almost arrived, and Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu had already left, which was considered too late. But as long as the emperor and queen haven't come yet, it's not too late for them to come.

After greeting each other, Zhu Ci walked to his seat and sat down. She glanced around and found that everyone was competing for their beauty, and they all spent a lot of clever thought.

"Even Zhu Baolin and Yan Baolin are here, why hasn't Wenmei come yet?"

Xu Tingyue drank tea. The injury on her face was almost healed and she was back to her former smoothness. She was also dressed very delicately, and specially wore pearl makeup. Compared with her previous rich makeup, her makeup today is more elegant and refined.

"Because she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, she is proud of her favor. Even the Dragon Boat Festival banquet is late, and there is nothing else that she, a beautiful woman, dare not do. It will be fine when she gives birth to the emperor's heir someday."

"I haven't seen Concubine Shu for a long time, why are you still so angry?"

Bai Xinrui glanced at Xu Tingyue with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed not to be smiling. Although she did not have to go to greet the queen, she still had to attend important festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival.

"You also know that when a beautiful woman is pregnant with an imperial heir, it is common for her to be lazy and have difficulty moving. You have never been pregnant, so naturally you don't understand the hardship involved."

Xu Tingyue felt something in her heart. She just didn't have a child. Maybe she would have one tomorrow. So what if she's pregnant? It's not certain whether she'll be able to support her or not. If she's half-dead, it's better not to be pregnant.

"It's not even three months, and it's hard to move. If it's eight or nine months old, it won't be bedridden. When the Queen was pregnant with the princess, she wasn't so delicate."

Xu Tingyue's expression remained unchanged, her eyes falling lightly on Bai Xinrui's pretty face.

"And the Imperial Concubine, didn't you also have to pay your respects to the Empress on time at first? Could it be that you, the Imperial Concubine, are thick-skinned and not as delicate as her beautiful lady?"

Bai Xinrui's complexion changed slightly. Yu Jieyu pouted. The two of them started quarreling as soon as they were kicked out of the sedan chair. They had never been harmonious and angry. I really don't know where they got such a bad temper.

Yan Qingshu was eating lotus cake, "Just now when Sister Zhu and I came here, we met Wenmei. Wenmei was so cruel. She not only cursed Sister Zhu, but also slapped the little eunuch who was rowing the boat. The little eunuch wiped away tears in grievance. Woolen cloth."

Yu Jieyu's eyes lit up, and she could clearly smell the smell of melon.

"Really? Why is Wenmei so angry? Why did Wenmei curse Zhu Baolin? Zhu Baolin doesn't seem to be very familiar with Wenmei, right? If there is something you can't say properly, you have to use a curse."

Zhu Ci secretly glanced at Yan Qingshu and told her to stop talking. She turned to look at Yu Jieyu and smiled.

"It's nothing. It's just that the beautiful woman asked the concubine to be careful not to fall into the lake. It would not look good if she became a drowned rat."

Yan Qingshu muttered in a low voice, "What the beautiful lady said is much more unpleasant than this, that's not what I meant."

"Zhu Baolin, what are you afraid of? Just tell the truth what Wenmei said to you. You are just too easy to talk to."

Yu Jieyu was eating grapes, and her delicate jade fingers were stained with red danko.

"This beauty is really beautiful. She is almost a mother, but she still speaks so openly. How can she set an example for the emperor in her belly? It is really a sin."

"The emperor is willing to pamper you, so what can we say?"

Yang Yunxi tugged at the corner of her lips, "Who said we weren't as lucky as Wenmei? We were pregnant with twins all at once. It's worth it to have both children after suffering once."

Cao Cao was about to arrive, and Wen Yuanyuan walked in in a panic. Seeing that the emperor and queen were not there, he breathed a visible sigh of relief and quickly found his seat and sat down.

Xu Tingyue looked at Wen Yuanyuan's clothes and smiled sarcastically.

"I found that Wenmei's skin is quite white, especially when she wears this crimson dress, her skin is as white as snow."

Wen Yuanyuan did not expect that Xu Tingyue would praise herself in front of everyone. She had not forgotten the words she said to her in a strange way when she was talking to the Queen.

"The emperor also said this to his concubine. The emperor said that his concubine has fair skin and looks good in a crimson dress."

"Your Majesty is so kind to you. The material of your clothes is also very good. I have never seen it before. Now I have gained some experience."

Yu Jieyu, who had been talking about Wen Yuanyuan behind her back just now, immediately changed her face. She saw that Wen Yuanyuan was dressed much better than she, Jieyu, and she felt sour and jealous.

Her eyes passed through Wen Yuanyuan's hair, and she was attracted by a golden butterfly sway inlaid with red and sapphire silk.
