Chapter 96 Is this a pregnancy?
The queen retracted her gaze and raised her hand to signal them to get up. She looked at the desk and found several books on it. "Has the prince been reading since early in the morning?"
Xiao Jinyan: "Yes, mother."
The queen walked to the chair with elegant and dignified steps and sat down.
Shen Chuwei knew that the queen liked Chang Liangdi the most and hoped that Chang Liangdi would be the concubine to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace, but Xiao Jinyan was worried about Chang Liangdi's body and involved her.
The most important thing is that Xiao Jinyan's behavior made many people misunderstand that she was very favored.
In order to save her life, she stood silently behind Xiao Jinyan, lowered her eyebrows and eyes, trying to minimize her presence.
But even so, she was still noticed by the queen with a sharp eye.
"Shen Liangdi."
Shen Chuwei stepped forward, lowered her eyebrows and nodded: "Queen, I am here."
The queen was greatly stimulated by Concubine Yun in the Imperial Garden. The prince had been taking concubines for more than half a year and there was no news. Not only Concubine Yun was surprised, but she was also surprised.
She raised her eyes to look at Shen Liangdi, and her sight first looked at her belly. She had served him several times, but why was there no movement?
"Has Shen Liangdi felt uncomfortable recently?" She thought to herself: If so, let the imperial physician take a look. Maybe she is pregnant now.
Xiao Jinyan: "..."
Shen Chuwei was a little flattered: "Replying to the Queen, I feel uncomfortable occasionally."
As long as the prince does not let her manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace, she will not feel uncomfortable.
When the queen heard that she felt uncomfortable occasionally, her eyes lit up and she thought, is she pregnant?
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shen Chuwei's flat belly, stepped forward, and explained: "Mother, Shen Liangdi's arrow wound from saving her son last time has not healed, so she feels uncomfortable occasionally."
The queen's hope, which had just been ignited, was extinguished by the prince's words. She thought she was pregnant!
"On the way here just now, I met Concubine Yun. Yin'er is already over two years old and can call me Grandma."
The Queen thought she had hinted clearly enough, but she heard the Prince say, "If your mother likes it, you can take Yin'er to Fengyi Palace to live for a few days."
The Queen is in charge of the six palaces. Yin'er is her grandson. It is completely fine if she wants to take him to live for a few days.
But she doesn't want to.
It's not her own son's, it feels far from it.
If she really took Yin'er, wouldn't Concubine Yun's nose be upturned to the sky?
See, the Queen is only capable of this.
If you want to hold a grandson, you can only hold her grandson.
So what if it's the prince? Can the Queen hold her grandson right away? Can she?
The Queen said with a cold face: "That's Prince Cheng's son. It would be so bad if I took him to live."
She couldn't help shouting in her heart: She wants to hold her own grandson, preferably a pair of twins, and she will also take her grandchildren around the six palaces every day to make them envious!
"..." Xiao Jinyan: "What the queen mother said is right."
The prince didn't understand her hint, and the queen was furious.
"Prince, you should hurry up. Next year, you will be a young man. What can you say if you have no children?"
Xiao Jinyan: "I will follow the queen mother's teachings."
"You should be busy first. I will go back."
The queen stood up and left the East Palace, still with a large group of people.
After leaving the East Palace, the queen suddenly stopped and looked back at the East Palace. She always felt that she had forgotten something important, but she just couldn't remember it.
Qingying stepped forward and asked: "Queen, what's wrong?"
The queen retracted her gaze, "Nothing, go back to the palace."
When she returned to Fengyi Palace, the queen remembered that her original purpose of going to the East Palace was to hint to the prince to send her some appetizers.
As a result, she forgot about this matter because she met Yun Xianbai halfway, and only remembered the grandson.
It was all because of Yun Xianbai. He went out with Yin'er in his arms in the cold weather to show off, which made her forget this.
Qingying saw that the Queen looked depressed after she came back from the East Palace. It was true that the Crown Prince had not heard of the happy news of marrying a concubine for so long, so it was hard for the Queen to be so worried.

Shen Chuwei thought that there would be delicious food when she went to Xiao Jinyan's place, but she came back with five books. Chunxi was holding the books, but she needed to read them.
Chunxi was so happy holding the book, "My lady, His Highness values you more and more."
Shen Chuwei said helplessly, "What do you know? I'm just a tool."
Chunxi asked with a puzzled look, "My lady, what is a tool?"
Shen Chuwei thought for a while and said, "Just like you need a shovel to cook, right?"
Chunxi nodded, "Of course, how can you cook without a shovel?"
Shen Chuwei: "Yes, I am the shovel in the hands of the prince."
Chunxi suddenly realized, and then looked shocked, "So His Highness values you so much!"
Shen Chuwei: "..." This child has been led astray by me~
Back in Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei leaned on the bench and ate the sesame glutinous rice cake made by Chunxi, which was soft and delicious.
Chunxi opened a book and took a look and asked, "My lady, which one are you going to read first?"
Shen Chuwei took a bite of the glutinous rice cake, "Give me a look."
"Okay." Chunxi happily handed the book in his hand to Shen Chuwei.
Shen Chuwei was eating glutinous rice cakes while turning a page and looking down. The dense words in the book made her drowsy.
When Chunxi came in after finishing her work, she saw Shen Chuwei lying on the couch with her delicate face blocked by the book.
Even though she couldn't see, she knew that her mistress was asleep.
She walked over, moved the books away, covered Shen Chuwei with a quilt, and then left and closed the door.

Tao Chenghui hadn't seen Shen Liangdi for a while, so he took some food to Xiyun Pavilion.
When he passed by Xu Liangyuan's Yixiang Palace, he saw Xu Liangyuan coming out, looking like she was going out to visit someone.
Tao Chenghui stepped forward and bowed, "Sister Xu, are you going out too?"
"It's boring to stay at home, let's go out for a walk." Xu Liangyuan touched her temples and glanced at the food box in Dingxiang's hand, "Are you planning to go to Xiyun Pavilion?"
Tao Chenghui smiled and said, "That's right, I haven't seen Shen Liangdi for a while, let's go and take a look."
"You have a good relationship with Shen Liangdi, but I heard that the Queen intends to promote Chang Liangdi to a concubine and temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace." Xu Liangyuan leaned close to Tao Chenghui and whispered.
Almost everyone knew about any disturbance in the Eastern Palace.
Tao Chenghui had plenty of money, and she naturally knew what Xu Liangyuan knew.
"Chang Liang Di is the niece of the Queen. I believe Chang Liang Di can help your Highness relieve his worries and work."
"Sister Tao is still good at talking." Xu Liangyuan gossiped again: "I don't know what your Highness thinks. I used to think Chang Liang Di was the most favored, but now I think Shen Liang Di is more favored."
Tao Chenghui raised his handkerchief and chuckled, "Then where is Sister Xu going?"
"I plan to go to Lanyue Palace to see Shen Liangyuan." Xu Liangyuan hasn't seen Shen Liangyuan for some time. Shen Liang Di is in favor. How can she relieve her boredom if she doesn't make some sarcastic remarks?
