Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 27 Apology
  "The emperor is kind to me, but not out of sincerity. Rather, what I say and do is in line with the emperor's wishes. I have just been in bed not long ago, and the emperor is somewhat new to me, so he is a little more pleasant to me. "

Zhu Ci had to admit. Shen is indeed a very good emperor and a very good bed partner, but he is not a qualified husband.

He can be very kind to someone from the bottom of his heart, but once his core interests are touched or he feels threatened, he will turn his face in an instant and make people feel like they are tongue-tied.

"'A beauty grows old in a blink of an eye.' It would be really good if the emperor still treats me like this when my beauty fades."

Zhuying was startled, and there was a hint of helplessness and distress in her smile.

"That's right. The emperor and the queen are married and have a deep love for each other. In this way, the emperor is also very kind to the imperial concubine. It can be seen that the emperor is the most undivided person in the world. Not to mention the master, I think so. You won’t be sad in the future.”

She was originally worried that her master would become addicted to the emperor's tenderness and fall in love with him. There will definitely be sadness in the future. I didn't expect that my master would think so clearly and openly.

Well, sincerity is rare, let alone the emperor. Having real power in your hands is stronger than anything else.

Zhu Ci took a sip of the soup, "By the way, has the imperial doctor come to see Jingyue?"

Zhuying nodded and took a piece of fresh bamboo shoots for Zhu Ci, "I looked at it and said that maybe I caught a cold at night and contracted the wind and cold. I've prescribed some medicine and let's take it first. I don't know if it will be better."

"This disease is said to be easy to cure, but it can kill people even if it is said to be difficult to treat. I hope Jingyue can get better soon, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the imperial concubine."

While he and Zhuying were chatting, from the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of goose-yellow clothes outside the door.

Before Zhu Ci had time to take a closer look, she saw Lu Zheng walking in with one hand protecting her belly and the other holding Yuyun's arm.

"Sister Zhu is still having her meal. It seems it's an unlucky time for me to come."

Although Lu Zheng is already more than five months pregnant, her figure is not bloated at all and is still graceful and graceful.

At first, Zhu Ci thought Lu Zheng was here to cause trouble for her. Judging from her smiling face, she didn't look like she was looking for trouble. For a moment, I couldn't figure out why she came.

Zhu Ci stood up and greeted him. Just now Lu Zheng called her sister, so she wasn't calling Lu Cairen.

"Sister Lu, what are you talking about? It's not too late for me to be happy that my sister can come as a guest."

Zhuying brought a stool and placed a goose down cushion very considerately. Then she ordered a plate of plums to be served.
  Lu Zheng then slowly sat down. She glanced at the food on the dining table with an expression that was half-smiling.

"Sister, the food is good. No wonder your face is so rosy. Since I became pregnant, I have never had much appetite. I really envy you."

Zhu Ci seemed not to understand the sarcasm in Lu Zheng's words, and she smiled a little shyly.

"Sister, she is pregnant with a dragon heir and has contributed to the country. Naturally, it is extremely hard. Sister, I have nothing to worry about. I just like to eat and drink, so I am more generous and fat."

"That's right, you don't have such a good life. You have never been a mother, so of course you don't know how hard it is to be pregnant for ten months. But to be able to give birth to a little prince for the emperor, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it."

Lu Zheng raised her chin proudly. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, he went to war in various places when he was still a prince. Now he still does not have a young prince, only Princess Showa, the queen's son, is just a princess.

If the child in her belly is born, it will be the emperor's legitimate eldest son. She and her mother's family were very proud. Zhu Ci’s lips curved slightly. Lu Zheng and Bai Xinrui were the only two pregnant women in the palace. Not only was she more than a month older than Bai Xinrui, but she had been publicizing that she was pregnant with the prince ever since she became pregnant.

I'm afraid everyone has long been thinking about the child in her belly. How could they let her give birth to the child so easily. And she acted so lightly against Zhang Yang...

"My sister has great blessings, and now she is pregnant with the little prince."

Zhu Ci lowered her eyes to cover her thoughts and said with a smile: "The emperor still doesn't have a prince, so my sister's child will be the emperor's eldest son. I'm afraid that by then, my sister will definitely be promoted one after another, which is really enviable." "

"That's right." Lu Zheng snorted proudly, glanced at Zhu Ci, took a ginger-stained plum from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

"But you don't have to envy me. After a few years, you can still give birth to a princess, and you can have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

Lu Zheng thought the plums tasted good and took another one.

"Actually, the main reason why I came here today is to make amends to you. That day, because of Snow Qiu, I hit Jingyue next to you hard. Afterwards, I felt that I had gone too far. After all, Jingyue didn't know either I raised Snowball, and I feel really sorry."

Zhu Ci had noticed early on that Lu Zheng came to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, but he didn't expect that she came to apologize for Jing Yue's incident.

There was a little more doubt in my heart, but it didn't show on my face. Zhu Ci said in panic: "It's true that Jingyue did something wrong. No matter who raised Xueqiu, he shouldn't have dealt with it so harshly. I don't know what happened to the big Xueqiu. I've always kept this in mind, fearing that my sister would see it. I’m so sad that it’s not good for the fetus, so I haven’t dared to visit her.”

"It's getting better now. I can eat now, but I don't like to move very much. I think it will be fine in a few days."

Lu Zheng looked at Yuyun, who stepped forward and placed a filigree silver hairpin gemstone jewelry box on the table and opened it.

Lu Zheng calmly took out a sapphire lotus-shaped incense box from the jewelry box.

"Since I'm here to apologize, I naturally can't come empty-handed. This is Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder, which not only has the effect of nourishing and moisturizing the skin, but can also remove marks on the face, so I'll give it to you."

Zhu Ci happily took it, "It smells really good. You can tell it's a good thing without looking at it. But this thing is too expensive, and I'm really embarrassed to accept it."

As he said this, he held the peach blossom jade face powder tightly in his hand and was reluctant to let go.

Lu Zheng chuckled lightly when he saw her like this. She was born as a slave but has never seen much of the world, but it's just a box of powder, and you can see how much she cares about it.

"Since it's given to you, just accept it with peace of mind. What are you doing here, mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Lu Zheng paused and then said: "This was given to me by the Queen. It's only a small box in total, and it's expensive. I'm not even willing to use it. You're really taking advantage of me."

Zhu Ci was overjoyed, "I'd like to thank my sister for that. I'm new to Qifeng Palace. If I do something wrong in the future, I hope Sister Lu can take care of it."
