"That's what the Queen said."

"Shen Zhaorong should be giving birth in these few days. I can't wait to watch the show." Zheng Xiyan curled her lips and smiled, feeling a little impatient.

Princess Shion

Zhao Cairen stood aside, grinding ink for Xiao Xuanchen. The eunuch in front of the emperor came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Murong is outside asking for an audience. Would Your Majesty like to see him?"

Xiao Xuanchen didn't even raise his head, and said coldly: "Go tell him that if you are here to plead for Concubine Rong, you don't have to come in."

"I obey your order." The eunuch in front of the emperor bowed and withdrew.

Zhao Cairen has been working hard on grinding ink. She basically comes to the Zichen Hall these days to serve, and even stayed in the Hall for several days in a row.

Xiao Xuanchen looked up at her and saw that her forehead was sweating, so he said, "Take a break if you are tired. The ink you grind is enough for me to use for a whole day."

"I am not tired." Zhao Cairen smiled slightly. Although she could read and write, her talent was limited and she could not help His Majesty, so she could only do these hard labors.

"Okay, stop being stubborn and take a break!" Xiao Xuanchen put down the pen in his hand, held her hand and pulled her into his arms, "Your Majesty!" Zhao Cairen smiled shyly, with a blush on her face.

"Do you feel bored staying in Zichen Palace with me these days?" Xiao Xuanchen played with a strand of her hair.

Zhao Cairen smiled softly and said in a gentle voice: "How could I feel bored? This is my honor."

Xiao Xuanchen slowly stood up and held her hand, "Come with me to the Imperial Garden for a walk!"

"Yes!"

The Empress Dowager and Nanny Yu were also in the Imperial Garden. The weather was good today, and Nanny Yu had to persuade the Empress Dowager for a long time before she finally got her to come out.

From a distance, Nanny Yu saw His Majesty and Concubine Zhao. The Empress Dowager also noticed it and her expression changed slightly.

When Xiao Xuanchen saw his mother, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother."

"Get up!" The Empress Dowager said with a cold face. These days, Concubine Zhao has been staying in the Purple Palace to serve. What kind of place is the Purple Palace? It is not appropriate for a concubine to stay there all day.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager frowned and said unhappily, "The Emperor is so leisurely and elegant that he is accompanying Lady Zhao to visit the Imperial Garden."

When Zhao Cairen heard this, her face changed immediately. She was about to explain, but Xiao Xuanchen spoke up, "I am a little tired from reviewing memorials, so I asked Zhao Cairen to accompany me out to relax."

"Okay, I'm a little tired from walking around, so I'll go back to Shoukang Palace first. The Emperor, please do as you please!" After saying this, the Empress Dowager turned around and left.

Xiao Xuanchen chased after him and said with an apologetic smile, "Mother, did I do something wrong?"

"The emperor is overthinking." The Empress Dowager said coldly. Now, she was too lazy to care about him.

"Mother."

"Your Majesty, please stay! Don't ruin your leisure and elegance because of me." The Empress Dowager glanced at her sharply, then left.

"Your son respectfully bids farewell to your mother." Xiao Xuanchen had no choice but to bow and bid farewell.

Yu Ma Ma asked, "Why is the Queen Mother doing this?"

"The Emperor has become more and more outrageous these days." The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied. Although Concubine Zhao was an okay person, it was ridiculous for her to dote on a dancer like that.

Xiao Xuanchen stood still, and Zhao Cairen timidly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, is the Queen Mother angry with me?"

"It has nothing to do with you. My mother is angry with me." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

After the morning court session the next day, Xiao Xuanchen went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and brought good news.

"My son, please send my regards to your mother. May your mother be blessed with peace and blessings."

The Queen Mother was having breakfast and ordered with a cold expression: "Add a set of bowls and chopsticks for the Emperor."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, mother."

"Why is the Emperor here at this hour?" the Empress Dowager asked slowly.

Xiao Xuanchen smiled and said, "I am here to congratulate you, Queen Mother."

"Happy? Why be happy?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"Xuanhua has been pregnant for more than a month. Is this good news?" Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile. After learning the good news, he immediately came to inform his mother.

Upon hearing that Xuanhua was pregnant, the Queen Mother was overjoyed, "Xuanhua is pregnant, is this true?"

"Why would I lie to you, mother? Helian Cheng told me the good news this morning, so I'm here to tell you."

The Queen Mother was very happy, "This is really great."

"Congratulations, mother, you are going to be a grandmother." Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile.

All the Queen Mother hopes for is for her children to be happy.

"How long has it been? Even Xuanhua is going to be a mother. I'm really old." The Queen Mother said with emotion. She was relieved that Xuanhua was doing well.

"The Queen Mother is not old at all, she is still young."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Stop teasing me."

"What I said is the truth."

"Xuanhua is pregnant. This is a big deal. It would be better to let her come to the palace to take care of the baby." said the Queen Mother.

Xiao Xuanchen felt that this was inappropriate. "Mother, this is inappropriate. Xuanhua and Heliancheng have a good relationship. You let Xuanhua enter the palace to take care of the baby, but you don't want to separate the couple."

The Queen Mother heard this and thought it made sense. "Then let's stay in the palace for a few days. That should be fine, right?"

"I will obey you, mother. As long as you are happy, that's all."

Weiyang Palace

After Zheng Xiyan learned about this, she was also sincerely happy for Princess Xuanhua, "Now Xuanhua has finally got what she wanted."

"Your Majesty is right. Princess Xuanhua is so lucky. His Majesty and the Queen Mother love her so much, and the prince consort she married comes from a prominent family and is also very fond of the princess." Shuangjiang envied her very much.

"Yes! She has spent her whole life being loved by everyone." Zheng Xiyan is the same. It would be great if she could have such a life.

Two days later, Princess Xuanhua moved into the palace.

Helian Cheng sent her to Shoukang Palace, "Mother."

The Queen Mother pulled her to sit down and said, "I've been looking forward to you entering the palace so that I can take a good look at you."

"I'm fine, mother. You're too cautious." Princess Xuanhua had a happy smile on her face.

"This is your first pregnancy, so you have to be careful and can't make any mistakes," the Queen Mother warned.

"understood."

"Greetings to my mother." Helian Cheng bowed and greeted respectfully.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The Prince Consort is here too, don't be so polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, mother."

Soon, Zheng Xiyan arrived at Shoukang Palace, "See you, mother."

"I've met the emperor's sister-in-law."

"Come and sit down!"

"Thank you, mother."

After Zheng Xiyan sat down, he said, "I knew Xuanhua was going to the palace today, so I came to see her. In addition, I also asked the Shanggong Bureau to prepare a lot of things, thinking that Xuanhua would use them."

"The Queen is thoughtful." The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with this.

"This is what a son should do. This is Xuanhua's first pregnancy, so as her sister-in-law, I naturally have to pay attention to it." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

Princess Xuanhua said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I knew that sister-in-law is the best."

"If you still need anything, just come to Weiyang Palace and tell me and I'll have someone prepare it." Zheng Xiyan smiled at her. Seeing that she was living a happy life, she felt happy too.

"Well, I will definitely not be polite to the Emperor's sister-in-law."
