After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 108 Ji Yunzhang’s Difficulty

At nightfall, two young eunuchs appeared at the gate of Xinlinghou Mansion.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Palace Guardian Ji Yunzhang to come to the palace for an audience!"

Rong Peilan put on the leather belt for Ji Yunzhang and said softly, "His Majesty is summoning you to the palace now. It must be related to what happened in the court today."

"My husband, you are a subject now, not an aide as before. Think twice before doing anything, and don't act like you did today."

Ji Yunzhang took a deep breath, held her face in his hands, and gently kissed her forehead.

"I know. I will talk to your majesty. I told you that our child should be born in a peaceful and prosperous era. I will do it!"

Rong Peilan leaned forward and put her arms around his waist through her big belly.

"Nothing can be decided by man. Just do your best and don't risk your life."

Haitang on the side handed over a black hat.

Ji Yunzhang put on his hat, and finally took her hand and kissed her, "You should rest earlier, I will be back soon."

The moonlight was as cool as water, spreading evenly across the courtyard.

Bathed in the moonlight, Ji Yunzhang strode out of Yuhui Garden.

"Madam, it's cold at night, let's go back!"

Only after the figure disappeared from view did Haitang support the young lady and slowly return to the house.

The fragrant mist removed the cover of the lamp and made the wick brighter.

She patted her pounding heart and said, "Why do I feel so frantic? Could it be that I'm going to..."

"Ptah, pah, pah!" Before she could finish her words, Haitang was so unlucky that she pouted three times and even walked up to her and hit her on the forehead with a chestnut.

"You little bastard, you only say bad things instead of good ones!"

Rong Peilan frowned, feeling upset, "Don't think about it, go to bed quickly."

After a few maids left, she looked at the dimly flickering lights and let out a long sigh.

Rong Peilan was restless all night and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already noon, but she felt as if she had not slept at all and was extremely tired.

When she sat up, she saw Qingtan coming in with a basin of water.

"The prince is back?"

Qingtan shook her head gently, "Don't worry, Madam. Madam said that no news is good news. Let's eat something first!"

Rong Peilan held her stomach and slowly stood up. Her eyelids were twitching and she felt very anxious.

"Young Master Jin is now working in the palace. Take my letter to the Duke of Wei's mansion and ask him!"

"Yes!"

After Qingtan left, Rong Peilan simply tied her hair into a bun and ate only two bites before she lost her appetite.

The Xinling Marquis Mansion and the Weiguo Duke Mansion are not far away, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to go there and back.

Qingtan had just returned and had not had time to say anything when the imperial edict from the palace came down.

Rong Peilan and Zhong knelt on the ground, and Eunuch Gao in front of them clasped the things in his hands and handed them forward.

"Take the order."

Zhong's face turned pale, and she took the imperial edict with trembling hands, "Your Highness, I accept the order."

Rong Peilan slowly raised her head, "Eunuch, my husband has worked with His Majesty for a long time, and he is definitely not a disobedient person..."

Eunuch Gao interrupted her, "Madam Xiao Ji, your Majesty is the emperor. There are only people who make mistakes, not wrong imperial edicts."

As he said this, he glanced at Rong Peilan's belly, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people. Sir Xiao Ji's words of rebuttal naturally angered Your Majesty."

"Once His Majesty has calmed down, Master Xiao Ji will naturally come back. Madam Xiao Ji should rest assured and wait for the birth of her baby."

After Eunuch Gao finished his final instructions, Chen Fo shook his head and said, "Return to the palace."

Chen Chun and Hai Tang quickly helped the young lady up. Qing Tan finally found an opportunity to speak, "I met the second young master Jin, and he said that the prince and His Majesty had a full conversation in the imperial study room all night."

"There was no quarrel or fighting. But early the next morning, a guard saw the prince and said, 'Say...'

Zhong, "What are you talking about? It's already this time, and you're still hesitating!"

"The prince was like a madman. He threw away his official hat as soon as he came out of the imperial study and said that Daqi was in danger..."

Rong Peilan almost couldn't stand. She leaned on Chen Chun to keep steady. She looked at the carriage going away from the palace, her face pale.

"How could it be... Before I left, I repeatedly reminded you to think twice and not to risk your life, so how could he..."

Looking at her daughter-in-law with a big belly, Mrs. Zhong could only calm herself down.

"Your Majesty is just angry. If he really wanted to punish him, he wouldn't just be locked up in jail."

She rubbed her hands and walked around twice, "I'll write a letter to the Marquis about this!"

"no!"

Rong Peilan immediately raised her head. She looked at the people coming and going, and at passers-by who occasionally cast inquiring glances at her.

"Go back home first. We will not see any visitors today."

The Xinling Marquis Mansion slowly closed the door, blocking out all the noise.

In Yuhui Garden.

Rong Peilan, "My husband disagreed with His Majesty yesterday in the court about whether to attack the Western Jin Dynasty. My father-in-law is the commander-in-chief at the border. He should not intervene now. It will only make His Majesty furious. The Ji family is using military power to oppress others."

Mrs. Zhong was completely distracted. "What should we do? Should we just let Zhang'er stay in that prison?"

Rong Peilan pursed her lips and said, "We need to find out what my husband and His Majesty said yesterday."

She stood up slowly. "Go get me a hooded cloak. I'm going to the Duke of Wei's mansion again."

Mrs. Zhong held her back and said, "Lan'er, your belly is so big now, how can you run around? Let me go!"

Rong Peilan shook her head and said, "Mother, I am the only one who can go."

"If everything goes well, I will be able to enter the palace and see the Queen today."

She patted Zhong's hand soothingly and said, "Just wait at home, I will take care of myself."

Mrs. Zhong waved, and Mother Zhou took out a wooden box. "It's necessary to prepare it. Don't be afraid to spend money. If you can see Zhang'er, ask him why he angered His Majesty."

"it is good."

A green-shed carriage quietly left through the back door of the Marquis of Lingling's mansion.

The carriage circled the west city before slowly driving into the road leading to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.

The carriage finally stopped at the side door of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. After a while, a maid came out and led the two people in.

Just a cup of tea later, the two men came out again, followed by a female official.

The three of them got on the carriage and this time drove directly to the imperial city.

Rong Peilan held her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief. The female official showed her palace card, and immediately a young eunuch came over in a sedan chair.

"Madam, you are about to give birth in two or three days. The Queen has specially granted you a sedan chair. Madam, please get in the carriage."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Haitang helped Rong Peilan get into the car. The sedan chair was still the same sedan chair, and the imperial city was still the same imperial city.

It’s just that the people are different, the moods are different, and the circumstances are different.

The Empress Dowager lives in Fengyi Palace, which is not far from the Hanyuan Palace where the former Concubine Liu lived, but it is more majestic.

"We're here, ma'am, please get off the car."

Rong Peilan stood at the door of Fengyi Palace, took off his cloak and handed it to Haitang beside him.

When Haitang wanted to follow in, she was stopped by the female official.

"Young lady, please wait in the side hall. The Queen is only summoning the Madam."
