When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 247

Yong'an Palace.

It may be to set off that the Empress Dowager Lu is seriously ill, and the palace is full of strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

As soon as the carved pear wood double doors opened, Cheng Muqing walked into the hall with his big belly in his hands.Her rosy cheeks were full of anxiety, and even her body swayed a little more violently.

"Mother's queen!" Cheng Muqing took a few big strides and came to the west wing.She walked around the golden nanmu screen and came to a Babu bed.

The golden curtain hanging in front of the window lifted a corner because of her arrival.

"Queen Mother!" Cheng Muqing carefully opened the curtain while holding his belly, "How are you? My son heard that you were seriously ill and didn't even have the mood to pray for His Majesty, so he rushed back immediately."

Queen Lu was taken aback by her sudden lifting of the curtain, and could not help but secretly slander Cheng's lack of education.Although she was angry in her heart, she looked weak on the face.

"Empress, you... are willing to come to see Aijia, Aijia... is very happy." Her voice was like a gossamer, intermittent.

"The child is also the child of the queen mother. Which mother is not happy to see her child? Even if it is a day or an hour away, it is still a joy to see you again." Cheng Muqing's lips curled up, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked rather a little bit It is heart-touching.

"You..." Empress Dowager Lu has never seen such a brazen person, who can talk so well.

"Mother, don't worry, I will serve you day and night." Cheng Muqing said, and had already taken the medicine soup from the hand of the maid beside him.She scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Empress Dowager Lu's lips, "Queen Mother, please drink."

The high swollen abdomen made her move a lot slower. Cheng Muqing endured the pain in her back and the discomfort of her sagging stomach, and fed her carefully.A little cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but the pain made her much more awake.

Although Empress Dowager Lu had a bad complexion, she accepted her service with pleasure.

The decoction was fed into Empress Dowager Lu's mouth, but Empress Dowager Lu frowned, "It's hot."

"My son is blowing to my mother..." Cheng Muqing scooped up a spoon and just put it on his lips when he was interrupted by a hand.

It was the nanny next to Queen Mother Lu.

"It's too close." The nanny said, "Your Majesty hasn't learned the rules?"

"After all, the Hou Mansion is a family of military generals, so it's normal to have poor rules." Queen Mother Lu raised her hand to press down.

"It's the son-in-law who was in a hurry to cool off his mother, and that's why he forgot the rules." Cheng Muqing smiled.

"What the empress said, is she complaining about Aijia?" Empress Dowager Lu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I don't dare." Cheng Muqing smiled, "It's just that filial piety is the first priority, and I'm a little impatient in order to drink the medicine in the empress's mouth just right. Empress, you don't blame Erchen, do you?"

If she blamed her, wouldn't she look a bit petty?Empress Dowager Lu glanced at her lightly, and said quietly, "Of course not."

Cheng Muqing began to serve him mouthful again, respectfully and more politely.

After feeding the medicine, she went to fetch the golden basin and wiped Empress Dowager Lu's face with a handkerchief.

Empress Dowager Lu enjoyed her daughter-in-law's service very much, closed her eyes comfortably, and lay on the bed.But for some reason, when he thought of Lin Heng talking to him like that, and in order not to make trouble for Cheng Muqing, he sent her to the Taoist temple.She was inexplicably agitated.

"Okay." Queen Mother Lu said suddenly.

Cheng Muqing held the handkerchief and stood aside.

"In the past, you were in the palace, and the Ai family didn't want to torment you. But now you are in the imperial city, and you are a queen, so you can't have no rules." Empress Dowager Lu raised her eyelids lightly, "From today on, daily greetings are indispensable."

"Yes." Cheng Muqing could only agree, she looked at the porcelain bowl in her hand, "Mother, at least finish the medicine, don't make things difficult for yourself." As she said that, she moved forward.

"No need..." Queen Mother Lu waved her hand.

It just so happened that at this moment, the soup bowl in Cheng Muqing's hand collided with Queen Mother Lu's hand.

The porcelain bowl turned upside down, slipped from Cheng Muqing's hand, hit the back of Empress Dowager Lu's hand again, and fell to the ground.

"Queen Mother!" Cheng Muqing grabbed Queen Mother Lu's hand, turned around and shouted, "Come here! Bring a wet handkerchief!"

Almost in an instant, a court lady hurried over, holding a handkerchief to wipe Empress Dowager Lu's hands.Wiping and wiping, the maid paused for a moment before drying her hand.

"Enough!" Empress Dowager Lu withdrew her hand, feeling a little pain in her wrist for a moment.

Cheng Muqing and the court lady quickly backed away.

"Go back." Empress Dowager Lu looked at her swollen belly with deep thoughts in her dark eyes.

"Yes." Cheng Muqing came after a salute.

After leaving the Yong'an Palace, Jinxi followed Cheng Muqing, muttering in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you have a big belly now, so just leave the trivial matters to your slaves. Why do you do it yourself?"

"If you don't do it yourself, how can you show your filial piety?" Cheng Muqing curled her lips, and she couldn't help rubbing her waist.Serving for a whole day, it is really painful and leg cramps, it is terribly uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's the slave's illusion? Why did the slave feel that the empress dowager's eyes on you are not right?"

"It's not quite right, she must be planning something."

"This... Your Majesty, this is a bit too much. What can the Queen Mother do?" Jin Xi smiled awkwardly.

"Send someone to inquire and find out who the Queen Mother has been in contact with recently."

"Yes." Jinxi has always been very obedient.

"He Qianyuan." Cheng Muqing looked at the maid on the other side, "What did you find out?"

"The empress dowager is in good health." He Qianyuan said so.

"Then the empress dowager is just looking for trouble for you?" Jin Xi was indignant.

"Who knows?" Cheng Muqing shook his head, "Let's take a step and see."

Cheng Muqing has been serving in Yong'an Palace for several days, and there have been fewer messages about unfilial piety from the people.Many of them were the result of Cheng Muqing's help in disseminating them.

On this day, the sky was still early, the sky was not yet bright, and it was fish-belly white.

Cheng Muqing stood on the corridor in Yong'an Palace, waiting for Empress Dowager Lu to summon her.

She was dressed in a golden phoenix robe, with gold hairpins in her hair.Her face was pale because of haggardness.There was also fatigue in the almond eyes, and there were even dark circles under the eyes.

Since returning to the palace, she has come to serve her mother-in-law every day.Usually she would sleep until the sun was up, but suddenly she started to get up early, her body was not made of iron, so it was even weaker.

However, Empress Dowager Lu asked her to arrive at Yinshi, and the old man woke up at Yinshi by herself, and she had to stand in this cold weather for nearly an hour.With her is He Qianyuan.

Cheng Muqing glanced at the sleeping girl standing beside her, and couldn't help feeling envious.She also wants to sleep, she doesn't care if she sleeps standing up, or sitting down...

Taking advantage of the dim night, Jinxi cautiously entered the Yong'an Palace, and found Cheng Muqing who was being distanced.

"Your Majesty." Jinxi moved closer to her.

"Why did you come here?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Your Majesty, the servant has found out." Jinxi leaned closer to her again, "These days, the servant has found out that the Empress Dowager is calling the imperial physician to enter the palace. The imperial physician who took care of your pregnancy before, has been away from work in the past few days. , the servant waited until this morning for him to go to the Yamen."

Cheng Muqing listened quietly.

"The servant chatted with him and asked him to come and see the empress again. Then I said that I didn't know if the empress dowager liked the empress... The imperial doctor told the servant. The imperial doctor said that the empress dowager came to him before the empress returned to the palace and asked Madam, how many months are you pregnant, when will you give birth?"
