Chapter 132 Seeking a meeting
When Zhen Huan heard that Shen Meiyu was not going to the garden to escape the summer heat, she went to her house in person.
"Sister Mei, pregnant women are more afraid of heat than ordinary people. Why don't you go to the garden to escape the heat?"
She had already packed all the things she wanted to take into the boxes, and then she learned from Baizhi the bad news that Sister Mei would not go to the garden.
Although the emperor often stayed at her place, there were always times when it was inconvenient for her to serve him.
If Sister Mei doesn't go, then the emperor can only rest somewhere else.
Shen Meizhuang sighed and said helplessly.
"I've been feeling a little unwell lately. For the sake of my unborn child, it's best not to go to the garden."
"Sister Mei is not feeling well. Have you summoned the imperial physician?"
Zhen Huan stared at her nervously, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.
Shen Meizhuang, mistakenly thinking that Zhen Huan cared about her, softened her voice.
"Someone was sent to the Imperial Hospital. The doctor said this is a normal reaction for a pregnant woman and she needs to rest."
"Then I'm relieved. Sister Mei, you should take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you when I return from the garden."
This time, Shen Meizhuang rarely sent Zhen Huan to the door of Chuxiu Palace.
She has met with the imperial physician whom her family contacted, and she is determined to protect the baby in her womb at all costs.
While the palace was preparing to go to the garden, people outside the palace were also busy.
"Master, I have heard that the Emperor and Empress will take all the ladies in the harem to the garden to escape the summer heat this year."
The tall young man who had been lying on the couch like a dead fish without even moving his eyes jumped up as if he were dead when he heard the news.
He grabbed the skinny little eunuch.
"Have you found out who from the harem went to the garden?"
"Master, I will use my silver to pave the way, and I guarantee that I will get the most complete information."
"Accompanying them are Consort Hua, Consort Shu, Consort Jing, Consort Wan... and Consort He and Consort Rou."
In response, he received a purse thrown on the ground.
The young eunuch quickly crawled over and picked it up.
"Thank you for the reward, Master."
"Go down, I want to be alone for a while."
After the young eunuch left, the young man closed the door of the study and respectfully took out a tablet from the mahogany box.
He kowtowed three times towards the tablet without a name on it.
"Mother, I will definitely avenge you."
Then he carefully put the tablet back to its original place and took out a copy of "The Book of Filial Piety" from the bookshelf behind the desk.
The second day of the seventh lunar month
An Lingrong arrived at the summer garden with the large group.
This time, we were allocated the upper and lower skylights, and the carriage was driven directly to the door.
As usual, An Lingrong brought Hongzhan to the waterside pavilion waiting for Baoque and the others to clean up Hanyue Tower.
The railing where Concubine Hua fell has long been repaired and is even particularly sturdy.
She pushed several times and didn't feel any shaking.
Hongzhan yawned from the fatigue of the journey, and An Lingrong took her to lie down in the small room that had been checked.
Surrounded by cool lake water and occasional breeze, you will feel refreshed.
When An Lingrong woke up, lanterns were already lit in the waterside pavilion.
The dim candlelight made it difficult to see clearly.
She asked in a hoarse voice.
"Bao Que, why don't you wake me up?"
"Your Highness, I see you are sound asleep and cannot bear to disturb you."
The dragon fetus in the master's belly grows fast, causing the master to frequently adjust her sleeping position at night.
In the past half month, when I was helping my master to wash and dress, I could always see the dark circles under her eyes that could not be concealed.
Doctor Wei said that being pregnant with twins is very hard, so you should sleep as much as possible.
An Lingrong supported herself on the couch and slowly stood up.
"Where's the Sixth Prince?"
"Your Majesty, Madam Kou Dai has taken the Sixth Prince to see the koi. The koi in the lake are so fat and big, if you just scatter a handful of food, countless koi will pop up and scramble for it."
When they passed by, the Sixth Prince was pointing at the water and shouting “Ahhhh”.
"Little Hongzhan, mother is here."
As soon as he heard the familiar voice, the little man shouting at the water immediately turned his head.
The smile on his face suddenly turned into a look of great grievance.
Seeing that An Lingrong didn't walk towards him, the fat kid pouted and was about to burst into tears.
The experienced An Lingrong hurriedly coaxed.
"Egg custard! Mommy will take you to eat egg custard, okay?"
The fat baby burped uncontrollably and stretched out his fat hands towards An Lingrong.
"My Lady, the Sixth Prince has grown stronger. Let this servant hold him."
Seeing that the empress was also reaching out in that direction, Baoli hurriedly stopped her.
The queen's belly was as big as that of a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant, and she was frightened when she saw it.
"I know my limits. I'll ask you to help me when I can't hold you anymore."
An Lingrong was very strong, and a baby less than one year old was nothing to her. She just had to be careful of her fat son's random movements.
But Hongzhan has always been well-behaved in her arms.
This time, when he was brought into the main hall of Hanyue Tower, he didn't show any big reaction. He just stretched his head towards the empty round table.
After waiting for food for a long time, he anxiously patted An Lingrong's shoulder to urge her.
"Sixth Prince, your egg custard is here."
Bao Ge, with beads of sweat on his forehead, came in carrying a large tray. In one of the large bowls was the egg custard that Hongzhan had been craving for.
An Lingrong handed the Sixth Prince, who was almost drooling with anxiety, to Nanny Kou Dai, and personally brought the egg custard to the table.
She always asked about what the Sixth Prince ate, and no one else thought there was anything wrong with it.
These ingredients were placed in the small kitchen early in the morning. She was worried and wanted to check them herself. Sure enough, she sucked out a small amount of dirt.
Unknown powders can weaken the spleen and stomach of babies.
An Lingrong's eyes darkened. The Queen was indeed not giving up and would take action whenever she got the chance.
She had a few snacks at noon and was already hungry.
Only after she finished the simple three dishes and one soup on the table did An Lingrong feel full.
After dinner, she walked around the Nine-Curve Bridge several times.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chun and Concubine Rou were assigned to the Xinghua Village next to us (later known as the Xinghuachun Pavilion), and Concubine He was assigned to the Xianyue Pavilion where Concubine Hui lived last year. The others were assigned their original residences, just like us."
Baoge, who was helping her walk, reported in a low voice.
Then he seemed to remember something and smiled again, covering his mouth.
"My Lady, He Changzai, who was out enjoying the scenery this afternoon, ran into Rou Yingda who was hurrying on her way. He went up to her and mocked her for being unpresentable and only fit to live in the village."
"Rou promised not to spoil her, and then she stepped forward and slapped her twice."
"I think He Changzai must be holding a grudge against Shang Rou."
"Our Baoge is really capable. He can even find out these things."
An Lingrong praised him generously.
Zhongcui Palace disliked Suiyuxuan because of the snake and rat incident last time, and Huanbi's behavior this time added fuel to the fire.
Before going to bed, Baoque came to report in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Yu Ying'er requests an audience!"
