Chapter 130 How can I feel at ease with you?
Lu Qingqing was a little amused.
The Queen and Concubine Xian's group had implemented the plan of making Lu Panpan a concubine to share the Queen's favor during the autumn hunt, but they failed.
After she returned to the palace, she kept creating the illusion that she and Lu Panpan were not on good terms with each other, but she didn't expect that she actually managed to hide it from the Queen's eyes.
In the past, when the queen was pregnant, she would promote herself to be a concubine and take away the favor of other concubines.
Now that she is pregnant, the queen will promote her sister to be a concubine and share her favor.
After such a long time, how come the Queen’s palace fighting skills have remained at the same level?
Now, she and Lu Panpan are close sisters who speak frankly to each other, so Lu Qingqing asked directly:
"Pan Pan, what do you think?"
Lu Panpan raised her little face, snorted, and sat down on the chair proudly, saying disdainfully:
"Ayun is too contemptuous! Does everyone want to be the emperor's concubine? I don't want to be one! I am determined to become a wealthy woman!"
Lu Qingqing burst out laughing.
Lu Panpan is so straightforward and cool, she is really cute.
She thought about it for a while and thought that if Panpan directly refused, it might make the queen unhappy and bring unnecessary disaster.
Then she had an idea and said to Lu Panpan.
"Panpan, please pretend to agree first."
Hearing this, Lu Panpan's mouth opened into a circle in surprise and she subconsciously refused repeatedly.
"Ah? Promise? I don't want to!"
Lu Qingqing patted her shoulder soothingly.
"Don't worry, just follow my plan."
Sisters Lu Qingqing and Lu Panpan were talking in Yinglan Pavilion when they heard the sounds of concubines from various palaces giving gifts outside the door.
Lu Qingqing really didn't want to be polite with these insincere people, so she tried to evade the issue by claiming that she was not feeling well, and asked Erxi and Xiaotao to deal with it.
After a while, the people who had given gifts left one after another.
Lu Qingqing had been lying in bed pretending to be sick for most of the day. When she saw that everyone had left, she quickly got out of bed to stretch her muscles.
"Erxi Xiaotao, what good things did they bring?"
Lu Qingqing looked happily at the room filled with gift boxes of all sizes, however, Erxi and Xiaotao looked embarrassed.
Erxi held a gift box and said disappointedly:
"Look at what they gave me, my lady. How can this be considered a gift?"
Lu Qingqing looked in the direction of the gift box in Erxi's hand.
The gift box was decorated with brocade and was very beautiful, but inside it were a few worn-out silk handkerchiefs.
Lu Qingqing opened several other gift boxes one after another. The boxes contained either old clothes or some useless decorative ornaments.
She looked at the pile of second-hand goods and sneered.
"Haha, I think they have discussed it all. They are not giving me gifts, they are clearly using my place as a garbage recycling station!"
"After this cleaning, their palace will be much cleaner..."
Lu Qingqing ordered Erxi and Xiaotao to collect these things one by one. These things were sent by the queen, and they were sent reluctantly. It was good that she didn't put some centipedes and cockroaches in it.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing was neither angry nor annoyed. If she continued like this, she would sooner or later become the target of public criticism in the harem, and it would be extremely difficult for the child in her belly to survive and be born safely.
So, she had to think of a way to protect her pregnancy.
So Lu Qingqing quickly ordered Sanpang to make a few desserts and asked him to send them to the Qianqing Palace.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Li Xuansheng was discussing with a group of ministers how to eliminate the remnants of Zhao Ning's followers.
After a day of discussion, Li Xuansheng was feeling dizzy and exhausted. When he saw that the dessert was sent by Yinglan Pavilion, he immediately dismissed the ministers and started to enjoy it alone in the Qianqing Palace.
He knew that this was Qingqing's signal of goodwill to him, so after finishing his meal, he immediately set off for Yinglan Pavilion.
As evening approached, the stained glass windows in Yinglan Pavilion opened one after another, letting in the cool breeze.
Li Xuansheng had already stepped into the hall and felt cool all over.
He looked at Lu Qingqing who was leaning on the chaise longue and reading a storybook. The beauty was wearing a crescent-shaped white silk dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her lips were slightly red. She looked quiet and moving.
Li Xuansheng was about to get closer, but he felt inexplicably scared.
He recalled the time when he had spent the night in the Queen's palace.
The queen was pregnant and was very careful. Not only did she not cook his favorite dishes, she even refused to order his favorite incense.
Moreover, on weekdays, whenever the queen felt unwell, she would order the palace servants to report it to him immediately. Every now and then, a palace servant would report that the queen was feeling unwell somewhere and insisted that he go and see her.
but……
If you’re unhappy, go find the doctor!
He is the emperor! He can't cure diseases!
The Queen had been causing troubles many times. Although he had a deep friendship with the Queen and was concerned about the dragon fetus, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
So, when he looked at Lu Qingqing, who was also pregnant, he had the same worry in his heart.
Will Qingqing become as spoiled as the Queen and become a different person once she becomes pregnant?
Li Xuansheng stood at the entrance of the hall, seeming to be a little hesitant.
However, Lu Qingqing had noticed his arrival early in the morning. Next to the chaise longue was a dressing table, and the bronze mirror on the dressing table had already reflected Li Xuansheng's entanglement clearly.
Lu Qingqing pretended to be someone who had suddenly discovered something, and quickly got off the chaise longue, without even having time to put on her shoes. Her small, white feet tapped the carpet, and she lively ran to Li Xuansheng.
"Your Majesty, you are here!"
Lu Qingqing hugged Li Xuansheng's waist, her voice sweet, and her black hair rubbed against his arms.
However, this action surprised Li Xuansheng!
He said helplessly, "Qingqing, pregnant women should not run or jump. You were barefoot, and the windows in the hall were open and it was so cold. Don't rush like that in the future."
Instead of being worried, Lu Qingqing smiled and blushed, acting coquettishly.
"I am just anxious. I want to see the emperor as soon as possible."
After hearing Lu Qingqing's words, Li Xuansheng felt as if he had eaten a piece of honey.
It seems that he was worrying too much.
Qingqing was different from the Queen. Even when she was pregnant, she was completely satisfied and only thought about herself.
At dinner time, Lu Qingqing and Li Xuansheng had dinner together.
The palace servants of Yinglan Pavilion brought various dishes to the table one after another. There were lotus chicken rolls that Li Xuansheng loved to eat, hairy crabs that were in season, milk tea that he loved to drink, and iced watermelon that he always liked.
Lu Qingqing has always liked drinking milk tea, so she poured herself a cup and drank it all in one gulp.
This is a new product developed by Mixue Ice Palace. It uses oolong tea as the tea base, simmers it on a slow fire for an hour, filters out the tea residue, and then pours in fresh milk brought from the grassland. It is paired with pre-pickled brown sugar dumplings, and is sweet and delicious.
However, Lu Qingqing's heavy drinking shocked Li Xuansheng again!
He originally thought that Qingqing would also abstain from food like the queen after she became pregnant, but the dishes she prepared were still his favorites.
but……
He seemed to have heard the imperial physician say that pregnant women should not drink tea.
So Li Xuansheng quickly put down his chopsticks and tried to dissuade him:
"Qingqing, you are pregnant, it is not suitable for you to drink tea at night."
"You don't take good care of yourself. How can I rest assured?!"
