Shuang Ning brought Zi Rui and Zi Luo into the bedroom, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

Zheng Xiyan raised her eyes to look at the two of them and ordered, "From now on, you two will be responsible for my daily diet and help me take care of my body. I want to conceive an heir before the daughters of court officials enter the palace."

"The slaves obey."

That night, when Xiao Xuanchen arrived at Weiyang Palace, Zheng Xiyan looked very calm. She raised her lips and walked forward, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you."

Xiao Xuanchen smiled and walked forward to help her up. When he touched Zheng Xiyan's hand, he saw that her hand was wrapped in white cloth. He frowned slightly and asked, "What happened? How did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine, I was just accidentally scratched by the debris." Zheng Xiyan replied with a smile.

"How did you serve me?" Xiao Xuanchen roared.

Biluo and the others quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zheng Xiyan quickly explained, "Your Majesty! This has nothing to do with them. It was my own carelessness. Please don't blame them."

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her hand with pity, "Has the imperial physician come to check it?"

"It's just a small cut. It will heal with some medicine. It's not that serious." Zheng Xiyan watched him acting coldly as he lowered his head.

"How come it's not that serious? Someone come! Go and call the imperial physician." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Zheng Xiyan quickly stopped the man and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I am really fine. There is really no need to call the imperial physician. The golden wound medicine Your Majesty gave me is very effective."

"Are you really okay?" Xiao Xuanchen still looked worried.

"I'm really fine." Zheng Xiyan was smiling, but if you pay a little attention, you can notice that there is no warmth in her eyes.

"Okay then!" Xiao Xuanchen said in a calm voice, and the worry on his face instantly disappeared.

The two sat down to eat, and Xiao Xuanchen ordered, "Bring it up!"

"Yes!"

"I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare fish soup. Try it later. This fish soup is good for wound recovery." Xiao Xuanchen instructed.

"Okay!" Zheng Xiyan agreed with a smile, but she knew that there must be contraceptive medicine in the fish soup.

Zheng Xiyan injured her left hand, so she had no problem eating. During the meal, Zheng Xiyan forced herself to eat a lot.

Xiao Xuanchen served her a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of her, "Come! Try it quickly."

As soon as Zheng Xiyan took it, she deliberately vomited in front of him, "Ugh~"

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty! This fish soup smells a bit nauseating to me. Your Majesty, please drink it! I won't drink it for now." Zheng Xiyan brought the soup directly in front of him and put it down.

Xiao Xuanchen couldn't force her to drink, so drinking less once shouldn't be a big deal. "Okay! If you don't like it, then don't drink it."

"Ah."

That night, Zheng Xiyan tried her best to seduce him, but she endured the nausea because the most important thing for her now was to conceive a dragon heir.

Everything else is not important. As long as she gives birth to a legitimate son, her position in the palace will be truly secure.

He wanted to use her to secure his power, but this time, she would never do as he wished.

The next morning, when Zheng Xiyan woke up, Xiao Xuanchen had already been dressed up by the palace servants and was about to attend the morning court.

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Xiyan just opened her mouth and found that her voice was a little hoarse.

Xiao Xuanchen came over, sat under the bed, and looked at her lovingly, "Wake up."

Zheng Xiyan sat up, feeling weak and sore all over, with a listless expression. She leaned directly into his arms and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty has to go to the morning court so early. I feel so sorry for Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen smiled and said, "You look so sleepy. Sleep a little longer. When my morning court is over, I will come back to accompany you, okay?"

"Your Majesty, don't you still have to review memorials? I don't want Your Majesty to delay state affairs because of me." Zheng Xiyan said in a soft voice. If it wasn't for giving birth to a legitimate son, she wouldn't even want to see him.

"My queen is so considerate." Xiao Xuanchen's face was full of smiles.

"I will be a good wife to your majesty." Zheng Xiyan lowered her head, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"I asked someone to make you some nourishing soup. Remember to drink it later. You look so bad these past few days. You need to take some nourishment."

Zheng Xiyan chuckled, a hint of understanding flashed across her face, and she whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will drink it later."

"Okay! Then you can sleep for a while. I will go to the morning court first."

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

Before Xiao Xuanchen left, he kissed her on the forehead and then left Weiyang Palace.

After he left, Zheng Xiyan showed hatred. Biluo came over and said, "My queen, please get some more sleep! You don't look well."

"When His Majesty orders someone to bring the tonic soup, you secretly replace it with the medicine brewed by Zi Rui." Zheng Xiyan ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, don't worry, Madam. We will make all the arrangements."

"Remind Zirui and Ziluo not to be discovered when they are making medicine." Zheng Xiyan reminded them with some concern.

"I have already instructed in advance that the required medicinal materials have been sent to the princess as you instructed. They will be delivered to the palace along with the ingredients from the small kitchen early this morning. You can rest assured." Biluo assured repeatedly.

"Okay! I'll sleep a little longer." Zheng Xiyan felt relieved and slowly closed her eyes.

"it is good!"

Zheng Xiyan took another nap, and when she woke up again, Biluo brought the medicine to her. Zheng Xiyan took the medicine and drank it all without any hesitation.

"My lady, this medicine is very bitter. I have prepared some candied fruit. Please eat one quickly."

Zheng Xiyan waved her hand and said, "No need. I have to remember the hardship now. For the sake of the sweetness in the future, these things must be experienced. After all, there is bitterness before sweetness. The good days are all behind."

"That's what the Queen said."

"Serve the meal!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan had breakfast alone, and Biluo stood by to serve her, saying, "Your Majesty, you have a good appetite!"

"These days, I will eat and drink well and keep a happy mood." Zheng Xiyan's tone was calm, with a hint of coldness.

"That's what the Queen said."

After breakfast, Princess Xuanhua came to Weiyang Palace. Princess Xuanhua was Xiao Xuanchen's only biological sister, but she was only fifteen years old.

In her previous life, Zheng Xiyan had a very good relationship with her, but after she was exiled, she seldom entered the palace often, and their relationship became increasingly distant.

Princess Xuanhua had a pair of dark, clear eyes, soft, full red lips, a delicate and exquisite nose, and was very delicate. Her cheeks were rosy, more beautiful than flowers. She wore a lavender dress, simple yet elegant, with a light plum blossom makeup on her delicate face, and a jasper phoenix hairpin inserted diagonally into her hair.

"Imperial sister-in-law, Princess Xuanhua greets Imperial sister-in-law." Princess Xuanhua had a bright and innocent face and was very likable.

"Stop being so polite." Zheng Xiyan felt a little better when she saw her.

Princess Xuanhua is lively, cheerful and straightforward, and gets along best with Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan pulled her to sit on the couch and ordered, "Hurry up and serve the princess her favorite cakes."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You are the best to me." Princess Xuanhua blinked her big eyes, very happy.

"How come you have time to come here today?" Zheng Xiyan asked with a smile.

"What else can I say? Mother forces me to learn embroidery every day. My ten delicate hands are about to be pricked."

Princess Xuanhua stretched out her pair of jade hands in front of Zheng Xiyan and looked at her with a pitiful look.

Zheng Xiyan carefully checked her hands and found that there were indeed needle wounds. She asked, "Have you applied medicine?"

"I have applied medicine, but I really don't want to learn embroidery anymore. It's too difficult." Princess Xuanhua complained.

Zheng Xiyan comforted him softly, "Take your time. No one can learn everything right from the start. Besides, you started learning late, so there's no need to rush."

"Sister-in-law, it would be great if mother could be as considerate as you, and I wouldn't have to suffer this." Princess Xuanhua curled her lips, looking aggrieved.

"Mother is doing this for your own good. Don't be angry with her." Zheng Xiyan warned.

Princess Xuanhua grew up in the midst of love and affection, and had never suffered any hardship since childhood. In the past, the Queen Mother loved her and had always indulged her, but at this age, she had to learn embroidery, so she was forced to learn it.

"I know that mother is doing this for my own good, but as a legitimate princess, why do I have to learn these things? What if I don't learn? With the Clothing Bureau here, why would I worry about not having clothes to wear?" Princess Xuanhua had a proud expression on her face, not understanding why she had to learn embroidery.

Zheng Xiyan likes her straightforward and free-spirited personality the most, which is particularly suitable for her temperament.

But who in this world can follow their own temper? "That's not the case. Learning embroidery does have many benefits."
