Chapter 565: Danger in the Imperial Garden
Time passed quickly, and the first snow that had lasted for five days finally stopped.
Huanbi looked at the warm sunlight coming down from the sky and felt like going out for a trip.
"Fubao, how long will it take for the snow to melt?"
"My Lord, the snow in the palace has been cleared by the servants. It won't be long before the palace bricks are exposed."
As Fubao spoke, he carefully handed the milk and bird's nest to Huanbi.
"This is just cooked in the small kitchen. Master, please try it."
The imperial physician said that her health was not good and she needed tonic.
Huanbi was afraid that she would die young like her mother, so she kept the imperial physician's words in mind.
She finished the milk and bird's nest in a few mouthfuls and stared at the closed curtain longingly.
"Fubao, I heard from the people below that Imperial Concubine Shu, Imperial Concubine Hua, Imperial Concubine Jing, Imperial Concubine Lan, and Concubine Chun were enjoying the snow in the Imperial Garden. You've been stopping me from going out for some fresh air before. Now that the snow has stopped, you won't stop me from going out, right?"
Fubao nodded firmly.
"Master, the imperial physician says you will give birth in about ten days. It would be best for you to stay in the palace and wait for the birth."
"When you are out of confinement, I will have someone carry you to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow, okay?"
The master is not someone who can stay quiet. These days, there is always news from outside coming into the house.
Fubao suspected that someone was trying to harm his master at this moment.
But Huanbi felt that with the people sent by the emperor to look after her, no major problems would arise, and she was just worrying too much.
"Okay, you must remember what you said."
However, Huanbi had only been in the house for three days when she heard from people around her that the emperor was strolling in the imperial garden with Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui.
Even the shameless Concubine Qi ran over and ran into the emperor by chance.
As she listened to the bursts of laughter coming from the front yard, she felt increasingly uncomfortable and waved to call a young eunuch.
"There's so much noise up ahead, what happened?"
"My Lord, Concubine Qi danced gracefully in the Imperial Garden, greatly pleasing the Emperor. The Imperial Household Department has specially sent a reward. Concubine Qi is in a good mood and is distributing rewards to her servants."
The young eunuch reported the truth, and the envy in his eyes was seen by Huanbi.
A bitch who only knows how to seduce the emperor with her foxy tactics!
The more Huanbi thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow this anger.
"Fubao, I want to go to the Imperial Garden to get some fresh air. Go and get ready!"
Seeing his master's angry face, Fubao dared not disobey and had to hurriedly order his servants to prepare.
Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded those accompanying her to take good care of her master.
Concubine Qi, who was sitting in the main hall, watched Huanbi and her group walk out of the Yanx Palace, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
He Huanbi, you have often mocked me for being childless. Today I will let you taste the feeling of losing a child!
Concubine Qi smiled as she stroked the reward sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and nonchalantly gave instructions to Yafang who was standing beside her.
"Remember to do it neatly and leave no traces."
"Yes, this servant will definitely not leave any trouble behind."
Guwalgiya had already arranged her own personnel in the palace, and it was those people that Yavon mobilized this time.
She believed that bad news would come soon.
Huanbi, who had stayed in the house for a long time, looked at the vast imperial garden and couldn't help but smile.
"Fubao, I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a while. I like everything here."
No wonder the other sisters in the harem came to the garden to enjoy the snow despite the severe cold.
It’s a pity that she is too heavy to go out when it snows.
Huanbi couldn't find fancy words to describe the sudden enlightenment in her heart. She vaguely understood her elder sister's mood when she had to get together with Huipin to enjoy the falling snow and rain in the past.
Looking up, you will see green everywhere and feel the coolness after the snow lingering in your nose, which makes you feel relaxed and comfortable both physically and mentally.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Seeing that Huanbi, who was pregnant, was planning to visit the garden, Fubao suggested it with a smile.
"Master, I sent someone to inquire, and I know that the Emperor often goes to Qianqiu Pavilion and Wanchun Pavilion to relax in the winter. Wanchun Pavilion is close to us, so why don't you go there and rest for a while?"
Huanbi thought for a moment and then shook her head.
"I heard that the scenery at Qianqiu Pavilion is more pleasant. Let's go there."
She secretly thought in her heart that the emperor lived in the Yangxin Palace, and it was more convenient to get to Qianqiu Pavilion from there, so perhaps she would have a chance to meet the emperor.
Ever since the emperor returned from praying at Ganlu Temple, Huanbi has never seen him again.
Even when the emperor later showed interest in visiting the harem, he never came to the Yanx Palace to visit her.
Huanbi gently stroked her belly. She couldn't bear the fact that the prince in her belly didn't get the emperor's attention.
When she was six months pregnant, Doctor Liu told her that she was pregnant with a prince.
Qianqiu Pavilion was close to the West Six Palaces, some distance away from them, and there were still wet traces on the ground.
Fubao was afraid that directly dissuading her would anger her master, so she told him the truth in a gentle voice.
"Master, I heard that Concubine Jing has been taking the Seventh Prince to the Qianqiu Pavilion to paint since the snow fell. If so many of us go there, will it be..."
"I am not the fussy Eighth Prince, why are you worrying about all this?"
Huanbi gave Fubao a cold look.
"Bai Wei, come here and help me."
The maid who lived in the side hall of the courtyard where she lived was named Bai Caiwei. Every time Huanbi ordered her subordinate Bai Wei to do something, she would feel a strange sense of superiority in her heart.
"Yes, I'll be right over."
Bai Wei trotted forward from behind and respectfully extended her hand for her master to rest his hand on.
The nanny sent by the emperor had many rules and regulations. With her guarding the master closely, Bai Wei had almost no chance to please the master.
It was only recently that after the nanny caught a cold and was sent away by Fubao that she had the opportunity to show up again.
"Sister Fubao, don't worry, I'm walking steadily and I won't..."
"Okay, stop saying unlucky things. Let's help the master together."
Bai Wei was originally from Suiyuxuan and was also the old lady who served Huanbi.
Fubao trusts her much more than others.
Huanbi was heavy and it took her almost quarter of an hour to walk the short distance.
The sharp-eyed Fubao reminded in a low voice.
"Master, Hanzhu, who is beside Concubine Jing, entered Qianqiu Pavilion carrying a food box."
"That's perfect. They're having a snack inside, and we won't disturb them if we go."
Huanbi decided to take a rest in Qianqiu Pavilion.
Although the Seventh Prince had a brain injury, the Emperor was still quite kind to him and often gave him the things he needed for painting.
Whenever he was upset, he would come to watch the Seventh Prince paint.
Maybe she will have the chance to meet the emperor today.
Just as Huanbi was about to step onto the stairs, she heard Concubine Jing's reminder.
"My dear He, the stairs over there are rarely used. Please follow me from there."
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Jing. I..."
Before she could finish her words, her foot slipped and her heavy body lost its balance, and she was about to fall heavily to the ground.
Fubao and Bai Wei were horrified, but it was too late to hold the man back.
"master......"
"master......"
Huanbi's mind went blank, with only one thought in her mind: She is finished this time!
When she came to her senses, she found herself lying in a soft and warm place.
There was also a painful groan in my ears.
"master......"
"Empress Jingfei..."
"Mrs. He..."
