The two seemed unaware of the passage of time. After finishing the five memorials, Wen Zheng couldn't bear to glance at Ye Chu out of the corner of his eye.

Heh, she always doesn't take herself so seriously, but it's a waste of his wholehearted treatment.

"Then how do you want to treat the girl sent by the Ye family? That Shen Shizhen has already dealt with it before, but now you are the one who asked to stay by your side!"

Liu Ruyi sent Yusu in, and both Wen Zheng and Ye Chu knew that it was Ye Kang's intention, and Ye Kang had always been serious about sending someone to the palace.

However, Ye Kang has a pivotal position in the court, let alone Wen Zheng needs the Ye family to fight against the Qin family, otherwise it will be difficult for him to consolidate his power.

"You really hate the woman I kept here on purpose..." Ye Chu sighed in his heart, and suddenly lost the intention of continuing to argue with each other. In the end, the two of them were just struggling to protect themselves between the court and the harem. miserable people.

On the surface, they are the most honorable empress couple in the world, but they are not as casual and natural as ordinary peasant couples.

Wen Zheng heard Ye Chu's unfinished words and that faint sigh, and his hand on the table suddenly tightened.

He looked away, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Chu, I know you don't care about me, but you have to know that the child in your womb is the most innocent now, don't let some malicious people have a chance!"

"That's natural, you don't need to care about it!"

When Ye Chu got along with Wen Zheng in private, he never said a word of softness. Such an attitude was as sharp as a knife, which made the gap between the two even deeper.

Wen Zheng was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "In this way, I should be glad that you still have a bit of a child's status in your heart... Do you really care about me at all?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chu's hands paused, and then he replied without hesitation: "Not at all."

Their conversation broke up again, but when Wen Zheng opened the door of the imperial study, Ye Chu lowered his head slightly and turned around to straighten Wen Zheng's collar.

The palace servants who were waiting outside saw this scene with knowing smiles on their faces, and it didn't take long for rumors to spread in the palace, saying that the emperor attached great importance to the child in the empress' womb.

Outsiders naturally couldn't see it, and the seemingly warm interaction between the two was somewhat stiff and embarrassingly dull.Everyone only knew that because Ye Chu was pregnant with a child, even though he was not favored by the emperor like Concubine Shu, his status as the lord of the six palaces was stable and could not be underestimated.

The large number of rewards sent to Fengqi Palace further proved the veracity of this rumor.

Qin Xinrou heard the maid beside her recite the treasures that were sent to Fengqi Palace one by one, and smashed the teacup again in anger.

"These things were all sent by the foreign country when they came to court. The golden silk eight-treasure pearl armor... I asked the emperor for a long time, but he didn't agree to give it to me!"

Qin Xinrou looked at the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor, and suddenly felt angry.

She glanced viciously at the maids serving in the hall, and everyone immediately knelt down, trying to persuade Qin Xinrou not to get angry with the queen one by one in a panic.

At this moment, a woman's loud announcement suddenly sounded outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the emperor is here!"

The palace maid trotted in with a happy face, followed by four palace maids holding trays.

"My slave pays homage to Concubine Shu, concubine Shu is blessed and safe!" Eunuch Zhang walked over with a whisk in his hand, smiling, and kept saying auspicious words, congratulating Qin Xinrou for receiving the reward.

The treasures placed on the four trays shone brightly under the light of the candlelight, which also made Qin Xinrou's distorted face just now soft and charming.

"The concubine thought the emperor had forgotten about the concubine!" Qin Xinrou twisted her waist and walked over, leaning on Wen Zheng's body, and the fragrance of her daughter's fumigation spread over with every gesture.

But smelling the smell of the incense powder, the thoughts in his mind drifted involuntarily to Fengqi Palace.

He raised his eyebrows, the smile on his face was so natural that no flaws could be seen.

Qin Xinrou spoke softly in his arms, said quite provocative words, and from time to time asked Wen Zheng what he thought of the new beauty in Fengqi Palace.

"That beauty looks a bit off-putting, she doesn't look like a daughter that can be raised by an ordinary family, but how can such a vulgar fan compare to Rou'er, who knows all six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

Wen Zheng's voice lowered slowly, he carried Qin Xinrou in his arms, and walked into the apse.

Fengqi Palace.

The news that Zheng went to Qin Xinrou's place spread quickly, Yusu raised her eyes to see Ye Chu's expression, picked up the grapes next to her and peeled them in her hands with some anxiety.

The beauty's onion-like fingertips touched the grape pulp, which looked very lovely.

Ye Chu opened his mouth to swallow the grapes, looked at Yusu with a smile, and said, "Why do you make such a gesture? Aren't all the concubines in this palace like this? The emperor went to Concubine Shu today, Then it's a good thing that our Fengxi Hall doesn't have to light the lights all night."

Her breezy attitude made Yusu feel sure, and felt that the empress in front of her was not simple.

Ye Chu looked at Yusu's beautiful face under the candlelight, and then looked at her demeanor that had been cultivated for a long time, and suddenly felt a pity in her heart.

"I see that you are not an ordinary woman, why did you agree to come to the palace with my mother?"

Zhi Qing, who was waiting on the sidelines, felt tense when she heard this, and quickly glanced at Yusu, trying to see the clue from Yusu's expression.

If this woman really intends to harm her young lady, even if Yusu gets along well with her in the past two days, she will definitely not allow this person with evil intentions to live in Fengqi Palace any longer!

Ye Chu's temptation this time was a bit obvious, but it was precisely because of her calm and generous words that Yusu, who had a keen mind, didn't know how to respond.

After all, Ye Chu is not a person to be fooled easily, if she speaks and deceives at will, it will spoil the big things, making it difficult for her to move an inch in Fengqi Palace.

There was a moment of silence in the main hall, and the nearby candles crackled, Zhi Qing stood up and walked to the candlestick to pick out lantern flowers.

Yusu's eyes flickered, she bowed her knees to Ye Chu silently, and then walked to the white porcelain jar by the window sill.

This white porcelain vat painted with blue and blue pattern glaze is quite exquisite, and a water lily is also raised in the water from Yuquan Mountain.

Ye Chu glanced away, and then heard Yusu's soft and humble voice: "To tell you the truth, this time, the slave girl entered the palace because of her own involuntary control. How can everything go well in this world..."

She first pointed out the involuntary difficulties of her background, showing that she did not compete with Ye Chu for the emperor's mind.

"Since the slave has already entered the palace and is taking shelter under the Empress's door, it is natural for the empress to look up to her. Otherwise, how can the slave, who is a duckweed, gain a foothold in the palace?"
