A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 106 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Su Luyun 32

The Empress's pregnancy was very unstable, and she had to summon the imperial physician frequently.

Jin Yuyan continued to conceal her pregnancy. When the Emperor came to Yanxi Palace, A'ruo tried to intercept his favor, but the Emperor was not very interested in her. In the Emperor's heart, A'ruo was not as important as Qingying, so of course he would not embarrass the three princesses for A'ruo's sake.

Su Luyun lived her life quietly, casually giving the Emperor twenty years' worth of contraceptive pills. It was better not to give her any more tasks, since if there were too many princes, the Emperor would not pay much attention to them, and it would be bad if a prince were to be adopted out casually.

With the Empress pregnant and the Empress Dowager secretly pushing things along, all the concubines in the harem hoped to give birth to a prince. In particular, Consort Mei, who had given birth to two princesses, felt that she was lucky and that her next child would definitely be a prince.

When Jin Yuyan announced her pregnancy three months later, it caused a great stir in the palace.

In Changchun Palace, Su Lian complained, "Consort Jia is really something. She knew Your Highness was pregnant, and now she's revealing it. Isn't that stealing Your Highness's thunder?"

Empress Fucha Langhua knew that it was impossible for no one in the harem to be pregnant. Although she was a little dissatisfied, as the empress, she still had to appear dignified and generous on the surface. She said, "It is a good thing that Consort Jia is bearing children for the emperor. Sulian, go to the warehouse and pick out some things to send to Consort Jia."

Su Lian: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lianxin was transferred by Fucha Langhua to take care of the Second Prince, so she didn't experience the matter of marrying a eunuch. This was mainly because Fucha Langhua originally had this idea, but in the third year of Qianlong's reign, she was rebuked by Su Lüyun.

Fucha Langhua lost face, and the emperor did not agree to the matter.

Su Luyun's birthday is five days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Emperor once again came to Zhongcui Palace to celebrate Su Luyun's birthday this year.

Su Luyun thought that the emperor had been a bit cold towards her lately, and thought of the story of Chang'e flying to the moon, so she asked Kexin to send the emperor a dress modeled after the Dunhuang murals for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Emperor hadn't encountered such an ambiguous atmosphere in a long time. His relationship with Su Luyun, which had recently been like the seven-year itch, was gradually turning into familial affection.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was successfully held. The Emperor stayed at Changchun Palace that day, but because the Empress was pregnant, the two slept in separate beds.

Before Su Luyun's birthday, the Emperor had no interest in visiting the other concubines. When the birthday arrived, after finishing the morning court session and dealing with the memorials, the Emperor came to Zhongcui Palace.

Chen Wanyin also knew that the Emperor would be returning to Zhongcui Palace tonight, so she did not take the Seventh Princess to see the Emperor.

The Emperor instructed Wang Qin to arrange everything, and then took Su Luyun to the Hot Spring Palace to soak in the hot springs and celebrate her birthday.

Su Luyun asked Kexin to prepare things. She didn't bring much, since she would only be staying at the hot spring palace for one day and would return to the palace the next day.

When they arrived at the Hot Spring Palace, Wang Qin had made all the preparations, including the decorations, the banquet, and especially all the flowers in the palace, making it feel like springtime with all the flowers in bloom.

Speaking of Wang Qin, although he had some ulterior motives, he was still very loyal to the emperor.

Su Luyun was quite satisfied with the Emperor's arrangements, after all, she had also prepared a surprise.

Su Luyun went to Phoenix Perch Spring to soak in the hot spring with a shy expression. The emperor wore the clothes she had given him before, which were male versions of the fairy clothes in the flying apsara mural. The emperor was now in his early thirties and would practice martial arts from time to time, so he was in a pretty good figure.

If it weren't for her good figure, Su Luyun would never have served the emperor again.

Su Luyun had nothing to hide and stared straight at the Emperor.

The emperor, captivated by her gaze, jumped directly into Phoenix Spring and shared a delightful bath with her.

Fortunately, the Emperor had some sense of propriety and did not go too far.

Next came the dinner arranged by Wang Qin, where they finally got to eat the hot pot they had been craving for a long time. They also went up the mountain with the Emperor to see the starry sky, released Kongming lanterns, and had a wonderful night.

The next morning, Fucha Langhua learned that the Emperor had taken Su Luyun to the Hot Spring Palace the previous noon without informing anyone.

As the empress, the emperor never spoke to her, which means he doesn't care about her as his empress.

Seeing that the Empress was in a bad mood, Su Lian quickly comforted her: "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is the prince in your belly. Nothing else matters. No matter what, Consort Mu can never surpass Your Majesty."

Fucha Langhua was in a state of turmoil when suddenly a sharp pain shot through her stomach.

"Ah, my child!"

Su Lian immediately sent someone to fetch the imperial physician, while she stood anxiously by, unsure of what to do.

When news spread that Empress Fucha Langhua had gone through a miscarriage, the Empress was in a great commotion, but Su Luyun, who had just woken up, was completely unaware of it.

The Emperor has already rushed back to attend the morning court session. He needs to get up an hour early to travel from the suburbs back to the palace. It seems that the Emperor treats Su Luyun very well.

After Su Luyun woke up, Kexin and Keqing brought people to help Su Luyun wash up, dress, and groom herself.

After everything was over, we ate something quick and then had to rush back to the palace.

When Su Luyun arrived at Zhongcui Palace, it was already past 1:00 PM.

When news of Su Luyun's return to the palace reached the inner palace, the concubines felt a bit resentful. They were all concubines, so why did the emperor take her to the hot spring palace specifically for her birthday?

Hailan rushed to Yanxi Palace immediately, as she was a little worried about her sister.

Upon arriving at Yanxi Palace, Hailan saw Qingying sitting blankly, staring listlessly at the door.

Hailan helped Qingying up and comforted her, "Sister, the Emperor has you in his heart."

Qingying said weakly, "I am here, but His Majesty broke his promise to me on my birthday last time and went to accompany Consort Jia."

Hailan didn't know what to say, so she could only stay quietly with Qingying, hoping that being with her would make Qingying feel better.

In Xianfu Palace, Gao Xiyue looked at the Third Princess running around with a happy expression on her face. Suddenly, Xingxuan ran in and looked at Gao Xiyue cautiously.

Gao Xiyue's joy faded, and she instructed Mo Xin, "Jingyue is covered in sweat. Take Jingyue downstairs and change her clothes."

Mo Xin took Jing Yue downstairs.

Gao Xiyue looked at Xingxuan and asked, "What is it?"

Xingxuan said, "At noon, everyone was saying that the Emperor took Consort Mu to the Hot Spring Palace to celebrate his birthday."

Gao Xiyue's face fell. She had feelings for the Emperor, but he paid too little attention to her, so now her heart was focused on Jingyue.

Gao Xiyue pouted and said unhappily, "This Consort Mu certainly has the Emperor's favor."

Shuangxi quickly comforted Gao Xiyue. With the comfort of Xingxuan and Shuangxi, and the consolation of the Third Princess after she changed her clothes, she finally cheered up.

The Empress Dowager was somewhat surprised by Su Luyun's favoritism, saying, "Our Emperor seems heartless, but I didn't expect him to have some affection for Consort Mu."

Fu Jia said, "Emperors have always been heartless. The fact that they are affectionate now is simply because the beauty of the woman has not yet faded."

The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something and said, "Yes, emperors are all heartless."

Su Luyun didn't care what the concubines in the harem were saying. After all, Su Luyun hadn't brought the twins with her to the hot spring palace and had asked Chen Wanyin to help take care of them. Now that the two little ones knew their mother had returned, they kept surrounding Su Luyun.

Su Luyun comforted the two little ones for a long time before they cheered up.
