Although he was going to have lunch with the Queen Mother, Suningan still used some snacks to cushion his meal.

Even with the emperor's guarantee, Suningan felt that it was really unreasonable. She didn't know if she could eat well in Shoukang Palace, but she must not starve her children.

Therefore, when Shen Yanzui came as promised, he happened to see Su Ningan put a small piece of snack into his mouth. When he saw him coming, he stood up hurriedly and wanted to salute. The next moment, Shen Yanzui supported him and held her in his hand. The handkerchief on her waist wiped the corners of her lips, and she joked with a smile: "Is An An afraid of scaring the Queen Mother by eating too much?"

Su Ning'an's face suddenly turned red, and she stamped her feet in embarrassment, "Does the Emperor have to laugh at my concubine like this?"

Ana Shen curled her lips in a bad way. She had no idea how charming the little expression on her face was every time he teased her.

"It's all my fault, I apologize to you. An'an is not angry anymore, okay?"

Ana Shen hugged Su Ning'an, without Cuizhu or Ying'er waiting on her, and carefully helped her onto the chariot.

Not only that, the cushions in the royal chariot are softer than before. There are exquisite round hollow charcoal stoves hanging around them, each as big as a palm. There are also foot stoves under the feet. The curtains around the imperial chariot are hanging down, making it even more beautiful. It was warm inside.

In fact, the emperor has never been afraid of severe cold, and he often even deliberately opens the windows in winter or lets the earth dragons in the palace warm up, so that he can keep his mind clear at all times.

But everything today is all because of the addition of the delicate Chen Zhaoyi.

Although Tangli Palace and Shoukang Palace are some distance away, it wouldn't be a long delay under normal circumstances.

Just because Su Ning'an was sitting on top, Shen Yanzui ordered him to walk slower and not to be bumpy.

Although it was already past the scheduled time for lunch when they arrived at Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was still smiling.

To be honest, she was used to seeing the Queen Mother's solemn and stern look, but she couldn't get used to it now. Fortunately, she felt much more at ease with the Emperor accompanying her.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Get up, get up." The Queen Mother raised her hand and quickly asked Aunt Ying to help Su Ning'an up. While holding the maid's hand, she walked down and scolded the Emperor: "Look at you, Chen Zhaoyi is pregnant. You are naked, why don’t you stop me?”

As he spoke, he held Suningan's hand, and saw that Suningan was really bare-faced, not even applying lipstick, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"How are you these days? How's your appetite?"

"Everything is fine. It's just that Dr. Han ordered that you need to rest well for the first three months. Therefore, I dare not leave the palace and did not visit the Queen Mother. Please forgive me."

"What did you say? A pregnant woman cannot be too careful in the first three months."

The Queen Mother took Suningan to sit down. There were many people vying for favor in the harem, and many people valued the dragon heir. However, because they valued their children and did not dress themselves up, there were very few people who gave up their favors for the sake of their children. Therefore, they felt sorry for Suningan in their hearts. Added some more points.

"The Aijia heard that you have a light taste recently and don't like greasy and meaty food. Look, these are light and refreshing. If you want to eat something, don't hold back. Just ask the imperial chef to make it fresh."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very harmonious, Shen Yanzhuo sat down while talking, but threw him aside, touched his nose, and had to sit down on his own.

"Mother, don't patronize Chen Zhaoyi, but don't forget that you have a son!"

The Queen Mother glanced sideways and said angrily: "I can't forget it! But Chen Zhaoyi likes to eat light food, so you just have to endure it and use some with her, so as not to affect the Ai family's grandchildren."

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Su Ning'an glanced at Shen Yanzui, who seemed to be unloved and unloved. She blushed and said quickly: "The emperor is very considerate of his concubines these days."

The Queen Mother smiled and looked at her flat belly again, "Of course it should."

The trip to Shoukang Palace went much smoother than Suningan expected. Maybe Merlin's incident would make the Queen Mother change her opinion a little, but the most important thing was her belly.

Su Ning'an shook his head. Although women from official families were not as illiterate as women from common people, and even read poetry and books, they still had to rely on their husband's favor and heirs to settle down and make a living, which only made her feel sad.

"...Oh!" He sighed softly and lowered his head, but heard Ana Shen say: "Who made An An unhappy?"

These days, as long as there is nothing important, he will spend the whole day in Tangli Palace. What's more, he even asked Anli to bring the memorial here.

Therefore, she also ordered someone to set aside a special place for him to review memorials.

"It's nothing." Su Ning'an shook his head. It would be better not to say what he just said. If he said it this time, he would inevitably look like Si Chen.

"An'an." Shen Yanzhuo held Su Ning'an's shoulder, "I don't like you keeping everything in your heart. If you are unhappy, just tell me, okay?"

Su Ning'an bit her lip after listening to his words. Perhaps she was moved by the sincerity on his face, and she said by mistake: "I just feel that there are many talented and capable women in the world, but in the end they can only be locked up in the back house. , I feel it is a pity to rely on my husband and children to gain a little stability."

As soon as he said this, I saw the corners of his eyes were slightly cold, and I secretly said something bad, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, my concubine..."

"Okay." Ana Shen hugged Su Ning'an and comforted her softly, "I don't blame her. I just think An An's idea is too absurd."

"absurd?"

He pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, it has been the common law of heaven and earth for men to take charge of the outside world and women to take charge of the house. If a woman can't settle down the family well, is it possible that she has to discuss state affairs and stabilize the country like a man? We can't let men give birth to children. ?”

"This..." Su Ning'an bit her lip, wanting to refute but not knowing where to say it.

It's just that she has read a lot of books since she entered the palace, including those of female talents, courtiers, and even the female emperor.

Aren't they also women?

Shen Yanzhuo looked at the little girl and was very reluctant, but he had no intention of continuing on this topic. Instead, he glanced at the bare dressing table and said, "Why are all those makeup and jewelry put away? Are they really no longer needed?"

Su Ning'an followed Shen Yanzui's gaze and said, "I asked Imperial Physician Han, and Imperial Physician Han also said that there are some things in the powder that are not good for the fetus, and some jewelry is too delicate. If you don't apply the powder, it will overwhelm you. If you don’t keep it first, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.”

Ana Shen kissed her cheek distressedly, "I'm so sorry for An'an. Why don't you order some plain jewelry that you can wear without makeup?"

Although I have never paid much attention to women's affairs, I still know that women love beauty. Even if you are pregnant, who likes to be compared?

"Then I'd like to thank you, Your Majesty." Suning'an smiled and suddenly looked at Shen Yanzui, "But it will take at least ten months for my concubine to go without makeup! And in the future, her belly will look like a bear, and I heard that her whole body will be She will become swollen, and then will the emperor think that I am fat and ugly, and will he no longer want me?"

Shen Yanzhui looked at her face full of sorrow, as if he had become a person who was unlucky, and said helplessly: "I finally found An'an. It's too late to hurt, so how can I dislike her?"

He pinched her cheek and said, "You're always going to mislead me."

When Su Ning'an heard this, she couldn't help laughing and fell into Shen Yanzui's arms.
