Early the next morning, Jiang Chuo came to the side hall of Changle Hall.

Shen Qinglan had already got up at this time, and was sitting in front of the mirror doing her makeup.

"Sister-in-law."

Jiang Chuo greeted her with a smile, walked towards her, and said: "Sister-in-law is pregnant, and she suffered from the cold yesterday, why don't you take a rest?"

"The Queen Mother."

Just as Shen Qinglan got up, Jiang Chuo stepped up to her side, helped her to sit down again, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't get up, and you don't have to pay attention to those empty etiquette at this time."

"Empress, it's inconvenient for me to be in the palace, so I'm going to leave the palace and return home." Shen Qinglan said.

"The snow will stop now, and the road is still very slippery. What if something happens? Sister-in-law, let's rest for two more days. I'll send someone to visit Linyuan later, and bring over your personal things." Jiang Eloquently.

"Thank you, Empress, for being considerate. It's just that the end of the year is approaching, and there are a lot of family affairs, so that's all. And...the family must be very worried when they learn that I am pregnant. I will go back so that the elders can feel at ease." Shen Qinglan said.

Jiang Chuo nodded, "Since my sister-in-law insists, then my sister will not keep you. Early this morning, the Empress Dowager sent someone to ask about your situation and said that she would come to visit you in person. Sister-in-law, why don't you wait a little longer .”

Shen Qinglan got up slowly, and said worriedly: "The road is slippery in the snow, please send someone to inform the empress, so that the emperor's grandmother can rest in peace. When the concubine recovers, I will definitely visit in person."

Jiang Chuo chuckled, "Grandmother is angry because of what happened yesterday, and she is also worried about your health, so I'm afraid she won't."

"Then... I will go to Zhanghua Palace right now. Don't worry, empress, my body is much better." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, I'll send someone to report to Zhanghua Palace first, and then I'll take you there in a warm sedan chair." Jiang Chuo said.

"Well, thank you Empress for taking the trouble to arrange it." Shen Qinglan nodded slightly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first."

"Congratulations to the empress."

Jiang Chuo left the side hall, his eyes were full of sadness.

"Xiangying, go arrange a warm sedan chair, and send someone to Zhanghua Palace to report back, saying that the regent princess is in better health, and she wants to meet the empress dowager in person," Jiang Chuo said.

Xiangying saluted, and replied: "Yes, I will do it now, servant girl."

"Go."

After returning to the main hall, Zhao Bai saw her looking sad, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter? But the regent princess is not healthy?"

Jiang Chuo shook his head, "Sister-in-law's body is fine, but... I always feel that sister-in-law treats me a lot farther away."

Zhao Bai walked up to her side and comforted her: "Don't think too much, Shen Qinglan is not that kind of person. This is the palace, she knows your situation in her heart. So I think of you and respect everywhere."

Jiang Chuo thought for a while, and felt that what His Majesty said was very reasonable, and his expression eased a lot.

"Your Majesty is right. Although my sister-in-law is a sweetheart, she is also very careful." Jiang Chuo said.

"Well, what's the situation at the side hall?" Zhao Bai asked again.

"My sister-in-law insists on going back to the mansion, so I can't continue to persuade her to stay. The Empress Dowager is concerned about her body and wants to visit her in person. When she heard about it, she wanted to visit her in person," Jiang Chuo said.

"Well, Shen Qinglan is a filial person, and now Mrs. Shen already knows that she is pregnant. At this moment, the elders of the Shen family must be very worried." Zhao Bai said.

Jiang Chuo took off his coat from the hanger, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect His Majesty to know so much about Shen's residence and sister-in-law."

Zhao Bai was stunned, then smiled and said: "Shen Qinglan also helped me a lot at the beginning. I had dealt with her when the Shen family first entered Beijing. Now, the second son of the Shen family is an official in the household department. I am also loyal."

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, has great ambitions and lofty aspirations, which is why all the officials follow him." Jiang Chuo said, putting on outer clothes for Zhao Bai.

"Now that the wind and rain are precarious, I don't dare to promote any ambitions, I just want to stabilize the court situation." Zhao Bai said.

"Your Majesty has a loyal minister by his side, who is dedicated to assisting him, and the grand plan will surely have its day." Jiang Chuo said.

Zhao Bai smiled lightly, and pulled her into his arms, "I'll go to court first, and we'll have dinner together when I come back. Yanyan, as long as you're by my side, I'll feel at ease."

"Go down, Your Majesty, my concubine is waiting for you to come back." Jiang Chuo said.

"Ah."
-
Shen Qinglan came to Zhanghua Palace in a warm sedan chair.

Hearing that she was coming, the Empress Dowager went out to greet her in person.

"Sisi, good boy, it's cold outside, hurry up and warm yourself by the fire." The Empress Dowager said.

"Grandmother, it's freezing outside, why did you come out in person, isn't it worrying your granddaughter-in-law?" Shen Qinglan said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager took her by the hand and walked into the house, "You child, you are still in good health, and you will be tossing back and forth in the ice and snow."

After entering the inner hall, the court lady offered a cup of tea. Shen Qinglan was about to pick up the teacup when the Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Sisi, don't drink it."

After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager looked at the court lady serving tea again, and said, "You girl is very confused. How can you drink tea now that the regent princess has not yet conceived? Hurry up and make a bowl of soup."

"Yes."

The little maid was a little scared, and hurriedly saluted and left the inner hall.

"Grandmother, don't be angry. This girl looks young, so it's normal for her not to know. Sisi was also negligent. Her mother and two sisters-in-law were both pregnant, so she forgot that she couldn't drink tea." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager took her hand and said: "Sisi, you have to be very careful, don't be like last time. Ai's family chose two seasoned imperial physicians to take care of your pregnancy."

"Thank you, Grandmother." Shen Qinglan smiled, and said again: "Sisi will definitely cherish herself and take good care of herself."

The empress dowager nodded, thinking of what happened yesterday, she became angry again, and said: "The empress dowager is really getting more and more able to toss, she is just doing it, and she wants you to marry the clan, isn't it intentional to make you uneasy? Aijia I heard that it was the Empress Dowager who ordered the palace servants to clean the palace roads yesterday, which caused you to catch a cold. Today, the Ai family must reprimand her!"

"Emperor Grandmother, don't get angry. This matter has already passed, so don't worry about it anymore. Instead, the government and the public will criticize Sisi for being arrogant, disrespectful to the elders, and ignorant of flattery. It's better to let it pass, and it will be all right. Sisi's virtuous name. Now that Sisi is pregnant, she has a reason to shirk." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly, and said again: "You are right, you are pregnant now, and there is nothing more important than the child in your womb at this moment. Yesterday, Linchuan had already confronted the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very angry. Not light."

"Ah?" Shen Qinglan was shocked, "Grandmother, did the prince go to see the queen mother yesterday?"

"He loves you very much. You have been bullied. Do you want him to swallow your anger? You know that he is not of that nature." The Empress Dowager said.

"But... In this way, if someone in the court impeaches him, wouldn't the prince cause trouble for himself?" Shen Qinglan said.

"Speaking of this matter, the Empress Dowager is also at a loss. Linchuan has a high position and authority, and no one will cause trouble because of it. What's more, the emperor is still toward him." The Empress Dowager comforted.

"Anyway, the queen mother is both an aunt and an aunt, and an elder, yet the prince is so impulsive..." Shen Qinglan said.

The Empress Dowager patted her hand lightly and said, "Don't think about these things anymore, take care of your body."

"Well, the emperor's grandmother should also be relieved." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.
