The sun was shining brightly, and the midday sun shone on the glazed tiles of Kunning Palace, reflecting a bright light. Kunning Palace under the sun looks even more solemn and sacred, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

Aunt Haitang walked over slowly. She was wearing a gorgeous dress and had a kind face. She saluted me and smiled, and said:"Princess, today King Peiling and Princess Peiling will have their own meals."

I nodded slightly, but felt a little uneasy in my heart. I came to the horse racing field alone, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts came one after another. I rode a white horse and galloped in the racecourse. Sweat gradually soaked my clothes, but I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and relaxation. As the sweat evaporated, the anxiety in my heart gradually dissipated. In this spacious horse farm, I seem to be able to release my emotions and stress.

After returning to Yuxiu Palace, I washed and changed clothes and had just finished dinner. Aunt Haitang walked in, followed by several palace attendants, holding medicine bags in their hands. She saluted me cordially and said,"Princess, this is the tonic that the Queen specially ordered the imperial doctor to prescribe. Take it after meals, once a day." Hongmei then stepped forward and took the medicine package.

I looked at the remaining medicine bag in the hand of the palace attendant behind her, and couldn't help but be curious, so I asked:"Why is there still medicine left?"

Aunt Haitang said softly:"Prince, the good concubine will also accept it today. After consultation, the imperial doctor also prescribed tonic medicine for her."

Seeing that I understood her purpose, Aunt Haitang smiled and bowed and left. I looked at her leaving figure, and I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in my heart. The Empress really wants grandchildren, but after all, in this era, if Zhao Jihuan had given birth earlier, the child would have been ten years old. But I don’t want to give birth, I’m still a child. I just want a platonic relationship with a handsome guy! Hahaha

Seeing me thinking deeply, Hongmei stepped forward and said,"Princess, I'm going to make some medicine for you." I nodded and watched her retreat.

Later, I lay on the bed and took out the"Encyclopedia of Literature" to read. I held a silk pillow under my chest and read a book comfortably.

Hongmei came over with the medicine. The medicine was steaming and gave off a bitter and rich smell.

I frowned slightly and pinched my nose, trying not to let the smell invade my nasal cavity. Seeing this, Hongmei said softly:"Princess, if you feel bitter, my servant will bring you some candied fruits." She spoke softly, as if she was afraid of breaking the tranquility in the room.

I nodded and watched Hongmei leave. After a while, she came back with candied fruits. I took the candied fruit and put it in my mouth. The sweet taste immediately overshadowed the bitterness of the medicine and took away all the discomfort.

I smiled and said,"Thank you Hongmei."

The night was already dark, and only the faint moonlight shone through the window in the bedroom. I felt a cold touch on my lips, waking me up from my sleep. I subconsciously touched it with my hand, but heard a gentle voice:"It's me."

I opened my eyes and saw Zhao Jihuan looking at me with a smile. I couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked,"Didn't you say you won't be back until tomorrow? Why did you arrive so soon?"

Zhao Jihuan didn't answer. He lay down and held my hand tightly. There was a deep tenderness in his eyes that seemed to melt me.

I got closer and smelled his breath, and a fresh soapy scent hit my nostrils. I couldn't help but curiously asked:"Have you gone to take a shower? What time is it now? Zunhua is forty miles away from the northern suburbs of the imperial capital. It takes two hours to ride a horse, right?"

Zhao Jihuan stretched out his hand and hugged her gently. I said softly:"Zi Shi, go to sleep."

I also felt sleepy, so I relaxed my body and mind and let his warm embrace surround me. Under Zhao Jihuan's soft words, I gradually fell into sleep.

Sleepy, I slowly opened my eyes, and at a glance I saw Zhao Jihuan quietly holding his head and watching me. His eyes are deep and gentle

"Good morning."He said softly, his voice full of endearment and warmth.

I rubbed my eyes and smiled:"Good morning, you are really amazing. You can wake up so early after going to bed so late.

He shook his head slightly and chuckled:"I'm used to it." I used to stay up all night, so I could only get up early and practice calligraphy to pass the time."

I sat up, stretched, and asked lazily:"Why were you in such a hurry to come back last night? Is there a problem?"

He gently rolled up the bed curtain, smiling and saying nothing. I quickly got out of bed and asked,"What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me? He shook his head with a smile and said softly:"It's nothing. Have you taken the medicine?"

I looked at him curiously, walked around him, and said with a smile,"Why is your nose so sharp?""

He picked up my dress, put it on me carefully, and said while tying the rope,"I smell the smell of medicine."

I stood in front of him obediently and said angrily:"Now you owe me a favor. My mother insisted on prescribing medicine for me and Rourou to nourish our bodies. do you know? Ah Ling is pregnant. It is estimated that the queen mother is even more anxious now."After that, he pointed to the letter on the desk.

He got dressed, picked up the letter, and read it intently. I noticed that his belt was a little skewed, so I straightened it for him and said casually:"General Shao is really amazing!

He immediately held my hand and asked nervously:"Do you also want a child?" I laughed, broke away from his hand, and joked:"I don't want children, do you?""

He turned around and walked towards the sunlight streaming in from the window, his back looking a little lonely. After a moment of silence, he turned around with a smile on his face and said softly:"I have never thought about this problem before. but……"He paused, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes,"We have to prepare gifts. This is a very happy event."

I immediately said,"Can we go to the hospital then?"

He smiled and nodded, Warm eyes met mine. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and only the two of us were bathed in the morning light, warm and peaceful.

After breakfast, Aunt Haitang came to my Yuqing Palace and told me that I didn’t need to go to pay my respects to the Queen for the past half month because the Queen was paying homage to the Buddha. Hearing this news, I was relieved, and a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

These days, I feel exhausted from the daily stress. Now that I have half a month of free time, I feel relaxed and at ease.

I immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a letter. My fingers slid gently on the soft paper, and every word condensed my heart.

Dear Ah Ling: I am very happy to hear that you are happy. You are pregnant with Liujia, so you should take more care of it to ensure the safety of mother and child. When your baby is born, I will visit him personally and celebrate with you. My current situation is quite good, and my riding and shooting skills have also improved. Every time I think of you, I miss you deeply. I wish you well and hope to see you again soon.

Hongmei took the letter and stepped back carefully. Her steps are light and solemn, as if she carries my thoughts and expectations. At this quiet moment, I couldn't help but feel a touch of joy in my heart. I was able to write such a short ancient prose, and I was well-educated.
