Chapter 442 The child is innocent
Seeing the change in the imperial concubine's eyes, Bai Yao's heart skipped a beat.

She turned to look at Bai Ying who was speaking.

Bai Yinghong knelt on the ground with red eyes, from those teary eyes, she could only see her concern for the imperial concubine.

Did she think too much?
What happened in the imperial study room quickly spread throughout the harem.

"The emperor wants me to accompany him to worship the ancestors with his big belly?" When Li Yu'er heard the news, she felt inconceivable.

Because she was too surprised, her dark eyes almost opened round.

Feng Yin nodded: "Your Majesty, it's absolutely true."

Li Yuer went to see Qingye again.

Qingye: "Your Majesty, according to your physical condition, there is no problem if you just worship your ancestors."

Li Yu'er:? ? ?

Why did she feel that after hearing the news, everyone in Yaohua Palace seemed to celebrate the new year early, with joy on their faces?

"Your Majesty, the Emperor deliberately rejected the proposal of the Minister of Rites to let the highest-ranking concubine in the palace accompany you, and recognized you as the most favored and noble person in the palace. You should be happy."

Fengyin was very happy.

Li Yuer:  …

No, she is not happy.

As long as she thinks that she will be tossed about by this master during the Chinese New Year, she will feel tired.

She also thought that because she was pregnant, she could avoid participating in such and such activities when she was pregnant, so she was naturally lazy.

"This palace does not agree."

Li Yuer protested.

"Why doesn't Yu'er agree?"

Yan Xiu, who had finished handling everything, heard Li Yu'er's protest as soon as he entered the inner hall, he was very surprised.

Fengyin and the others in the house bowed to Yan Xiufu and took leave.

Li Yu'er gave Yan Xiu a sideways look, but she didn't intend to get up from the slump.

Yan Xiu didn't care at all, it can be said that he was used to it, if one day when he came, Li Yu'er would be sympathetic to him and salute him, he would feel uneasy.

He took off his coat, which was soaked in the cold, and hung it on the rack.

The hall was very warm, he wasn't very cold in the first place, but now he felt his palms warm up.

After making sure that his body was not exposed to the cold outside, Yan Xiu sat beside Li Yu'er.

Li Yu'er moved slightly, adjusted her posture, and leaned comfortably in Yan Xiu's arms.

"Why doesn't Yu'er agree?"

Yan Xiu held Li Yu'er's soft fingers, playing with them while asking questions.

"It's not that I disagree."

"I just think it's inappropriate to do this."

When talking with Yan Xiujing, Li Yu'er didn't mean to be joking, and said what was in her heart without concealing it.

"The concubine is pregnant, and there are many things that I have more than enough energy for. The concubine has you, but when the ancestors are worshipped, the concubines above the fourth-rank Jieyu in the harem will participate, and the courtiers will also be there. So many There is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.”

"I……"

"Shh." Li Yu'er raised her finger to block Yan Xiu's lips, telling him not to speak yet.

Yan Xiu opened his lips slightly on purpose, and kissed Li Yu'er's fingertips lightly.

Li Yu'er moved her finger away as if nothing had happened.

If you look closely, you can see that her fair and delicate earlobes are slightly rosy.

cough.

Li Yu'er continued: "It's not that the concubine doesn't believe in the emperor, it's just that the concubine is now a month old, and the time for worshiping the ancestors is very long. I have to kneel down and stand beside the emperor to accept the courtiers' worship. The concubine will be tired."

Yan Xiu: ...

Why does he feel that "tired" doesn't mean the same as what he understands?
Isn't it really because ancestor worship has to get up very early?
Li Yu'er pretended not to see the complicated expression on Yan Xiu's face, and still put on a very serious look.

"Since the noble concubine has been in charge of the harem, not only has she not made any mistakes, but the palace has become more orderly. She has made proper arrangements for all the arrangements from years ago. She even visited the Yaohua Palace in person."

"The most important thing is that in the noble concubine's heart, she has already taken it as a matter of course to accompany the emperor to worship the ancestors during the Chinese New Year."

Li Yu'er's last sentence was very light.

Yan Xiu pursed his lips tightly.

Even if it wasn't Yu'er, it couldn't be Yan Xiyue's!

that woman...

Yan Xiu lowered his head and stared at Li Yu'er's towering belly: "Yu'er, Qingye should not go to Chenmo Palace these days, just let her stay by your side."

Yu'er has Ziye by her side, but Ziye is a hidden guard, and in many things, it is not as convenient to use as Qingye.

"No." Li Yu'er refused.

Before Yan Xiu could speak, Li Yu'er gave her reasons.

"The noble concubine is a thoughtful person. Even if she wants to do something to the concubine because of resentment, she still needs to plan carefully. After all, she is showing favor to the concubine before the ancestors are selected."

It seems that Li Yu'er doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, but everything in the harem is under her control.

The Qingyuan Garden outside the palace, and the Xiangyun Tower managed by Yueyin, both have hidden stakes in the palace. As long as she wants to, she wants to know the details of what Yan Xiu talked about in the imperial study. It is not difficult for her.

She didn't say these things, but Yan Xiu would not be ignorant.

The two of them maintained a tacit understanding on some matters. In Yan Xiu's perception, there was nothing about him that Yu'er could not know.

After Yu'er told what Yan Xiyue had done, Yan Xiu believed it.

"What Yuer means, if the noble concubine is really dissatisfied, it may be detrimental to Concubine Jiang?"

Li Yu'er nodded: "It may be that the concubine is too blind and confident, but the concubine will be careful."

Once the ancestor worshiper is selected, she doesn't need to make any special arrangements, the stumps will keep their eyes on everyone in the harem, and she will get the news if they have any abnormal behavior.

"Where is Concubine Jiang..." Yan Xiu hesitated.

"Concubine Jiang's child is four months old, after all, the child is innocent." Li Yu'er said softly.

Yan Xiu glanced at Li Yu'er's stomach again, his eyes were gentle: "Yes, the child is innocent."

"What does Yiyuer mean?"

"I wonder if the emperor has considered Concubine De?"

Yan Xiu shook his head: "No."

"The one who stands with me and accepts the worship of the officials can only be you."

Li Yu'er wanted to say something else, but Yan Xiu directly lowered his head and blocked her lips.

After tasting it, Yan Xiu said softly, "No one else can do it except you."

Li Yu'er sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's do whatever the ancestor worship process is. It's really a blessing for the concubine to have this honor. I think it will be different after the concubine gives birth to a child. Just be it and get used to it in advance."

After speaking, Li Yu'er winked playfully at Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu was slightly startled, but then he came to his senses and carefully held Li Yu'er in his arms: "What Yu'er said is true."

"Just get used to it in advance."

What Yan Xiu thought was that all the procedures should be prepared according to the participation of Yu'er, and Yu'er would definitely not be able to toss along with him, so all he had to do was to announce to the world that Yu'er stood by his side when accepting the courtiers' prostration just fine.

He can do everything else by himself.

So on this matter, he insisted that if Yu'er was really too tired, then it would be good for him to be alone. Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't be another woman.

Li Yu'er saw Yan Xiu's awkwardness, and just thought it was amused.

"Your Majesty, actually, it doesn't matter."

"It's related." Yan Xiu looked at Li Yu'er very seriously, and rarely insisted.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Yanyan said it's related, so it's related, my concubine listens to you."

Little Yanyan?
Call him that again.

Yan Xiu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Where is I so young?"

Li Yu'er blinked her eyes, inexplicably feeling that the words were colored, and her eyes swept down unconsciously.

Then, she raised her head, looked at Yan Xiu, showed a very serious expression, and said in a serious tone: "Not young, the emperor is not young at all!"

Yan Xiu: ...

Words are not as important as actions.

After tidying up that naughty little mouth, Yan Xiu was satisfied.

Li Yu'er glared at him angrily.

It was cold at night, and it was not easy for Li Yuer to go out for a walk, so she and Yan Xiu walked casually in Yaohua Palace as an activity. After a round of activities, she was hungry again, passed the meal and ate, and then continued to walk to digest the food.

After such a toss, by the time the two of them went to bed, it was already late at night.

Li Yu'er was very tired and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

She had the "privilege" and didn't need to get up early, but Yan Xiu was different, he only slept for more than two hours, and he was about to get up and face the court.

Get off the bed lightly, for fear of waking up the sleeping person on the bed.

Yan Xiu washed his face and gradually regained his energy.

"Let Guangyi stay near the Yaohua Palace, and those in the imperial concubine's palace should also be monitored. Those who are close to the imperial concubine should also pay attention to it. Whether it is Jinfei's place or Jiangfei's place, people who should not appear Everything has been resolved ahead of time.”

Yan Xiu ordered with an expression on his face.

Shenquan took the lead.

The already protected and impenetrable Yaohua Palace has become more solid and unbreakable.

Yan Xiyue did not act impulsively as Li Yu'er thought.

There are still 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and she has plenty of time to arrange.

It would be interesting if Li Yu'er accidentally met Hong during the Chinese New Year, or during the ancestor worship!
"Snowing."

Yan Xiyue stood in front of the window, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, her mood did not improve because of this.

"Bring me my cloak."

"Your Majesty, do you still have to go out when it's snowing?" Bai Yao stepped forward and tried to persuade her, "It's easy to catch wind and cold."

"My body is not so weak."

Yan Xiyue's tone was light.

Bai Yao wanted to say more, but Bai Ying had already taken Yan Xiyue's cloak and came over to help Yan Xiyue put it on.

"Your Majesty, it's still cold outside, so you should wear a hand stove."

Bai Ying took another small and exquisite hand stove, replaced it with a new charcoal fire, and then put it in Yan Xiyue's hands.

"Bai Ying will go out with Ben Gong."

Yan Xiyue is very satisfied with Bai Ying's obedience.

Bai Yingfu said yes.

After Bai Yao sent Yan Xiyue off, a slight sadness gradually appeared on his face.

In the past two days, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

Bai Yao shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and went to busy with her own affairs.

"My lady, where do you want to go?"

Bai Ying carefully supported Yan Xiyue, for fear that she would fall.

Yan Xiyue thought for a while: "Let's go to the Imperial Garden."

"Yes." Bai Ying laughed: "It's snowing, the plum garden next to the imperial garden must be beautiful."

indeed.

The plum blossoms are in full bloom, the snow is falling, and the white snowflakes are gently falling on the petals of the plum blossoms, which is very beautiful.

Yan Xiyue became interested: "Then go directly to the Plum Garden to have a look."

Bai Ying's small face burst into a smile: "Thank you, my maidservant."

"Look at you happy." Yan Xiyue also raised her lips, the depression of the past few days has finally dissipated a lot.

In Plum Garden, someone got there first.

When seeing the woman in the long white dress, Yan Xiyue frowned in dissatisfaction.

Although she wanted to come to the Imperial Garden on a temporary basis, she ordered someone to open the way ahead of time, so how could she still meet someone.

"Ma'am, it seems to be Miss Zhuang."

Bai Ying supported Yan Xiyue's hand, walked closer, and saw clearly the person not far away.

It was Zhuang Siyi again.

How much does she like plum blossoms?
In this short period of one month, whenever Zhuang Siyi came out of Jingru Hall, she would definitely come to the Plum Garden.

Zhuang Siyi seemed to have just seen Yan Xiyue.

There was a flash of surprise on her face, and the unnaturalness on her face was obvious, but she still walked quickly to Yan Xiyue and pleaded guilty: "The imperial concubine is auspicious."

Yan Xiyue frowned slightly, and looked down at her.

"Forgive me, ma'am. It's snowing today. The girl thought that there must be another beautiful scenery in the plum garden, so she couldn't hold back for a while and came here to enjoy the scenery."

"Ms. Zhuang, doesn't she know that the imperial concubine is coming!"

Bai Ying reprimanded arrogantly.

Zhuang Siyi lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye: "Yes, Minnv heard about it, but Minnv heard that the imperial concubine is going to the Imperial Garden. Although the Plum Garden and the Imperial Garden are adjacent, there is still a distance."

"The girl thought, wandering around in the plum garden for a while and then leaving, she will definitely not disturb the imperial concubine, how would you know..."

"I beg your concubine to forgive me." Zhuang Siyi said respectfully.

Yan Xiyue sighed: "Those who don't know are innocent, I came here on a whim."

"Since Miss Zhuang is here, let's share the reward with Bengong."

"Thank you, Concubine."

When Zhuang Siyi raised her head, the gratitude in her eyes was fleeting.

Yan Xiyue pretended not to notice.

This Miss Zhuang is not so aloof from the world, it seems that she really loves plum blossoms.

Speaking of plum blossoms, Zhuang Siyi had a lot to say, and at first she felt reluctant to let go, but as she walked, she accepted it uncontrollably.

Yan Xiyue was just looking at it casually, but after listening to it for a while, her interest gradually increased, and she also felt that plum blossoms are very unique.

"Plum blossoms are made into cakes, and the taste is also very beautiful."

"Minnv heard that in the summer, the Empress Jin had ordered people to make lotus cakes out of lotus flowers, and she was also pregnant. Otherwise, the plum blossoms all over the garden would have turned into cakes and entered the imperial concubine Jin's hands." Where's the stomach?"

Having said this, Zhuang Siyi couldn't help but raised her lips and laughed.

"Why is Concubine Jin no longer ordering plum blossom cakes when she is pregnant?"

"Perhaps the plum blossoms are put into the pastry, which is not suitable for pregnant women to eat. Minnv don't know much about these things."

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Siyi said again: "The concubine Jin is pregnant, so she must be more careful about the food she eats. Although she has long wanted to eat plum cakes, but for the sake of the little princes in her belly, she always eats plum cakes. Be patient."

Yan Xiyue was thoughtful.

 Alas, my back hurts for a day and I can’t straighten up. I slumped on the sofa and supported my liver for this chapter. Please praise o(╥﹏╥)o
