Chapter 133 The Concubine Returns to the Palace
Shen Mei has to talk to Jiahe about Shen Mei's pregnancy. The relationship between the two mothers and daughters has eased a lot after these few years, at least on the surface they are similar to other mothers and daughters.Yuzhu didn't want to go to her mother-in-law's side, so she went to greet Jiahe these days, Jiahe didn't say much, just stared at her stomach quietly, so Yuzhu really didn't want to walk around her yard.

Shen Mei didn't force her, she went to see Jiahe, and told Jiahe about her pregnancy, Jiahe was overjoyed, and the worry on her face disappeared a bit. "But really?" She looked at her daughter's stomach, "It's only been more than a month? The fetus must be unstable, why did you come back? Your parents-in-law don't care about you."

Shen Mei smiled and said, "I just wanted to come back and tell my mother to tell my eldest brother, but my eldest brother is not here, so I came here to find my mother first."

Jiahe was startled, and asked her, "Have you seen your sister-in-law?"

"I've seen it before." Shen Mei stroked her stomach and said, "Sister-in-law already knows about my pregnancy."

Jiahe hugged her daughter in her arms and sighed, "But your sister-in-law is not pregnant yet. She was married earlier than you. It has been a year and a half, and she is still not pregnant. A few days ago, I wanted to give your elder brother Take a concubine, your elder brother lost his temper..."

Shen Mei gradually frowned, "Mother, my sister-in-law is two years younger than me, and it's really too early to have a baby now. You really shouldn't take a concubine for your elder brother. My elder brother has true feelings for his sister-in-law, so he would never take a concubine." "Siblings with the same mother, she had a good relationship with Shen Xian since she was a child, and she knew his temperament well. After all these years, he finally waited for Yuzhu to grow up and marry her. If someone destroys their previous relationship, She felt that her eldest brother could do anything.

Jiahe said quietly, "I don't know, I don't have to worry about their affairs in the future, I'm just waiting for two or three years, if she still can't give birth to a child, no matter what, even if I ask the emperor and queen mother, I have to give it to her." Your elder brother asks for a concubine to come back."

The Shen family only had Shen Xian as a direct descendant, so the incense was naturally taken a little more seriously.

Shen Mei frowned, "Mother, don't meddle in the affairs of elder brother and sister-in-law." She didn't think that elder brother would take a concubine if Yuzhu couldn't give birth to a child.

Jiahe sighed and remained silent.

Shen Mei had lunch at the Shen Mansion, and was taken back to Chu's house by Chu Yunwei in the afternoon. The two came to say goodbye to Yuzhu, and it was obvious that Chu Yunwei cared about Ah Mei very much.

When the two left, Yuzhu asked Licorice to go to Huichuntang to invite a doctor. The doctor was good at gynecology, and after taking Yuzhu's pulse, he said, "Madam, don't worry. Madam is in good health, full of energy and blood, and energetic." It's okay to have a baby, there is no rush to get pregnant and have a baby, and when the time comes, the baby will come back naturally."

Yuzhu said, "Thank you, doctor." As long as there is no serious health problem, it seems that there is no fate with the child.

In the blink of an eye, it was April, and Shen Xian had someone send a letter back, saying that he was fine in the dorm, his father's old illness was almost recovered, and he would be able to return to Beijing next month.The Shen family has been guarding the Shemen for several generations. Emperor Ruiwu has inexplicable trust in the Shen family, and it has always been the Shen family who have guarded the Shemen Gate.

Shen Wei has been in the prison gate for more than 20 years. He has suffered many injuries, big and small. The most serious two times were being shot in the calf with an arrow, and a knife from the chest to the abdomen. The knife wound was very serious, and I almost didn't survive it. After recovering from the injury, my body fell ill.

Shen Xian's letter was not long, and the handwriting was still very familiar, sharp and powerful, and only said that she would return next month, and then asked Yuzhu if she was okay at home, so that she would not have to stay in the mansion every day, and she could go back to Jiang's house to play for a while.Yuzhu went back to Jiang's house several times during this period, but she didn't stay overnight at Jiang's house. After all, she was married, and she couldn't always stay with her mother's house.

After reading Shen Xian's letter to her three times over and over again, Yuzhu sighed softly, except for these, he didn't say anything else, not even saying that he missed her.Yuzhu only knew that she cared about him very much, so she wrote back to him, telling Shen Xian that everything in the capital was fine, so he didn't need to worry about it, take care of her health, she would wait for him to come back, and slightly mentioned about Shen Mei's pregnancy.

After writing the letter and sealing it with wax, Yuzhu asked Xiao Feng to send the letter to the shenmen gate as quickly as possible.

Two days later, Yuzhu received another letter from Kong Zhixi. The little girl was in a good mood, saying that Xie Che had written back to her, telling her to take care of her health and listen to her brother.He also brought a lot of delicious and fun things to Yuzhu, all of which are specialties in Lizhou, and invited Yuzhu to come and play in his free time.

Yuzhu could see her joy from her heart.

Yuzhu lived a leisurely life, but the people in the palace had their own thoughts.

After reviewing the memorial, Emperor Ruiwu went back to the palace to rest. In recent years, he has rarely expanded the harem. There are only a few concubines who often serve the bed. The queen will go to the queen's place for a few days every month. Most of the time, he will still go to Mu Guifei's place. , After all, he was his favorite person, and now the relationship is still very deep.

Going to Concubine Mu Gui's bedroom, she has already washed and rested, wearing a crescent-colored robe, her well-maintained skin is still white, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of charm.The two were happy for a while, and Emperor Ruiwu rested with the beauty in his arms, caressing her smooth back, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's still the most comfortable place for my concubine."

Concubine Mu Gui leaned in Emperor Ruiwu's arms, and said softly, "It's as long as the emperor likes it, I was a little tired just now, the emperor needs some supper."

"No need." Emperor Ruiwu said, "It's good to rest earlier, I will go to the Emperor's Temple in a few days."

Concubine Mu's heart moved, "Why does the emperor go to the imperial temple? But to visit the empress dowager, speaking of which, the concubines haven't paid their respects to the concubine for several years, why not go with the emperor in a few days."

"No need." Emperor Ruiwu was in a good mood, and there was a smile in his voice, "In a few days, I will pick up the concubine back to the palace."

Concubine Mu Gui was startled, held back her strength, and said softly, "It's a great thing for the concubine to return to the palace. The emperor has told the queen that there is still a regulation for this matter. When the time comes, the concubine will be brought back to the palace. Everything is indispensable. After so many years of persuasion by the emperor, the concubine is finally willing to return to the palace, and she can stay by her side in the future to fulfill her filial piety."

Emperor Ruiwu sighed, "I have informed the empress today, and finally persuaded her to come back. A few days ago, I went to visit her in the imperial temple and said a few words. I thought the concubine would not agree to come back, but she nodded. "Even he himself was a little surprised. After all these years of persuasion, the concubine was always unwilling. Being his biological mother, he naturally hoped that she could stay in the palace and enjoy the blessings.

When Emperor Ruiwu fell asleep, Concubine Mu Gui couldn't fall asleep anyway. She didn't understand why the concubine returned to the palace at this time, but it was a good thing. Afterwards, the queen mother is afraid that she will also start to have a sense of crisis.

The next day, Concubine Mu went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager had just finished drinking a cup of blood swallow, and she was wearing a light yellow embroidered phoenix twig thong, elegant and luxurious. She said, "Why is your concubine here today?"

Concubine Mu laughed, "Come here to visit the empress dowager, and yesterday I heard the emperor said that the empress dowager will return to the palace in a few days, the emperor said that I have to talk to the empress dowager about this matter, the concubine came here specially."

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly, "Why is she going back to the palace all of a sudden?" Speaking of her and the Concubine, they were both concubines of the late emperor, but the Concubine was lucky enough to have a child. The emperor was raised under her name, but there was always a feeling of anger in her heart. Fortunately, the concubine had gone away to the Taimiao for so many years, and she could be the queen mother in the palace with peace of mind.

But now why is she suddenly coming back?
Concubine Mu smiled and said, "The concubine can see that the emperor is very happy. The matter has been left to the empress. Waiting for the empress dowager to return to the palace, the empress dowager also happens to have someone to talk with."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Concubine Mu got up and left.After so many months, the emperor never mentioned the matter of abolishing the crown prince. He even vaguely mentioned it to her a few times to test her, saying that he was conferring feudal lords on the third and fourth princes. In the future, the three brothers will support each other no matter what. .

She naturally agreed with a smile, but how could she be reconciled in her heart.She knew that the emperor had said such words, and she was afraid that he really intended to let the crown prince succeed him. Some of the government affairs of the third prince had gradually decreased. It can be seen that the emperor expressed his determination and would not abolish the crown prince.

Naturally, she has to start preparing. Fortunately, these years, she doesn't believe in the sweet words of men. Even when he was young, she never wavered in his promises, secretly slowly buying people's hearts.

The news that the concubine is going back to the palace spreads all over the capital overnight, and Yuzhu has also learned about it. She originally wanted to go to the imperial temple to see her old man, but the concubine will return to Beijing tomorrow, and there is not enough time to wait for the concubine. After returning to Beijing, she will visit the capital again.

The next day, the emperor and the empress went to the imperial temple to pick up the concubine back to the palace. Everyone knew that the concubine didn't want to mess with her. When she returned to the palace, she simply went to worship the late emperor and stayed in Shou'an Palace, next to her. The palace of the Queen Mother is the Shoukang Palace of the Empress Dowager.

In the evening, the emperor and empress hosted a banquet in the palace. They did not invite important officials in the court, only the royal family. After the banquet, the emperor personally sent the concubine back to Shou'an Palace. The most worrying thing in my heart is that you, the empress, and the princes and princesses, it is good to return to the palace now, and the Ai family can enjoy more children and grandchildren in their later years. But the emperor also knows that the Ai family still misses Yuzhu in his heart. I have been with Aijia for five years, and in Aijia’s heart, she and Aijia’s granddaughter. Therefore, Aijia has an unfeeling request and wants to ask Yuzhu for a sign so that she can freely enter and leave the palace, so that she can come often Stay with Aijia."

But a sign that allows free access to the palace is nothing, so the emperor naturally agreed.
