Every month, Yi'an has to go to Cining Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. The emperor was a little worried that the Empress Dowager would make things difficult for her, so he wanted to go to Cining Palace with her.

Yi An said with a smile: "There are only two things to say after the queen mother talks about. I will come back after listening to her. But if you follow me, you are afraid that the long time you will be able to chant for a longer time, so you may even force me to agree to let you accept Zhang Wenwen on the spot!"

Speaking of Zhang Wenwen, the emperor's face was not good: "I originally asked her to enter the palace to accompany her mother to relieve her boredom, but I didn't expect that she was restless."

Yi An said with a smile: "Didn't you say you want to find a good family for Zhang Wenwen? You can ask her for an opportunity to tell her, and if she doesn't know, she will agree!"

She felt that anyone with a clear mind should know that being a righteous lady is better than being a concubine. Even if she is the emperor's concubine, she is still a concubine.

The emperor and the empress dowager mentioned this matter, but did not say directly to Zhang Wenwen: "When I go to pay my respects next time, I will ask him in front of my mother."

He had never had contact with Zhang Wenwen in private, and this was to avoid his mother making trouble. It was also helpless for both mother and son to beware of this.

Yi An was very satisfied with this answer.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, he didn't see the queen mother. Zhang Wenwen walked out gracefully and said, "My cousin's wife, my aunt is combing her hair."

Yi An nodded and sat down straight.

Zhang Wenwen sat in front of her and said with a smile: "My cousin's wife, I have made date paste cake and coconut milk horse bean cake in the kitchen. Do you want to get some for you?"

"I'm not hungry."

When she went out, she had already eaten a plate of pastries.

"Would you like to drink a glass of goat milk to warm your body?"

Yi An nodded and said, "I'm really eager, so I'll just ask my cousin to bring me a cup of warm water."

As soon as the words were finished, the Queen Mother walked out of the room with a look of surprise and said, "The Queen is so arrogant that she has assigned Wenwen to work."

Yi An stood up and gave a gift and said, "It was my cousin who asked me if I was thirsty first. I have lived up to my cousin's wishes!"

The empress dowager sat down and said, "Your third cousin's wife gave birth to a big fat boy yesterday."

Yi An showed a decent smile on his face: "It is a great joy to add a child. When I go to the third year of the day tomorrow, I will send someone to send a gift."

The Empress Dowager said with a calm face: "Ge Qing is twenty-two years younger than the emperor. She is now the father of three children."

The first two of these three children were born by concubines, and this time they were the legitimate sons.

Every time I come, I have to talk about my children, and Yi An’s ears are calloused.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the Queen Mother asked with a cold face: "Queen, when did you tell me that the Ai family would hold their grandson?"

The old god Yi An said, "My mother, I have the final say."

The Empress Dowager reiterated the old tune: "If you are willing to let the emperor take a concubine, why is the emperor still empty? Queen, the emperor is twenty-three this year, so he can't afford to delay."

Yi An said, "Mother, you are wronged by your daughter-in-law. Yesterday, I advised him to take a concubine and let her take a grandson as soon as possible, but the emperor did not agree that we were not in a hurry to get married for only three months. Moreover, the emperor also said that there was no eldest son before he was born, which was a mess of the family rules of the ancestors."

The Empress Dowager thought to myself that I also want the eldest grandson, but the problem is that you can't give birth to it. However, given that the emperor and her had not come to pay their respects for five days, the Empress Dowager did not dare to say again: "Then tell me, when will you let the Ai family carry a grandson?"

Yi An was silent and said, "My mother, give me a year. If I can't get pregnant for a year, I will definitely persuade the emperor to accept the concubine."

The Empress Dowager refused without thinking and said, "A year is too long, so I will give you half a year. If you are not pregnant within half a year, even if the emperor disagrees, he must take a concubine."

Yi An didn't say anything.

"Why, don't agree?"

Yi An struggled with his face, and after a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's only half a year. If I haven't got pregnant within half a year, I will definitely persuade the emperor to accept the concubine. However, if I get pregnant within half a year, don't ask me to persuade the emperor to accept the concubine."

The Empress Dowager didn't know that Yi An dug a hole for her, so she nodded and said, "If you are pregnant within half a year, the Ai family will not talk about the imperial examination in the future."

Yi An suddenly realized that it was your work to ask the emperor to give a memorial!

After talking about this, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "You go back!"

After Yi An left, Zhang Wenwen hesitated and said, "Auntie, I found that my cousin's waist is much thicker than before."

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention. She looked at Madam Yu and asked, "Is that true?"

Madam Yu nodded and said, "The Empress is much fatter now than when she married into the palace..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhang Wenwen whispered: "Auntie, my cousin's face is not fat and her waist is fat. Do you think she is pregnant?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Why don't she tell me when she is going to get pregnant? It should be just gaining weight."

"But there is no reason why you can get fat without fat! Moreover, my cousin's wife used to walk vigorously, and now she walks much slower than before."

The Queen Mother was suspicious. She looked at Madam Yu and asked, "Did the Queen come here last month?"

Although the palace affairs were handed over, there were still many people following her orders, so there were people she had planted in the empress.

Madam Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the Empress came to Hong last month at 18, three days before and after."

After a pause, Madam Yu said, "Empress Dowager, I heard that the Empress Dowager likes the food made by several imperial chefs very much. Since entering the palace, she has eaten two bowls of rice for each meal, and she also has to eat desserts every morning and evening."

The Empress Dowager had never eaten with Yi Anqi and didn't know that she had such a good appetite. She sneered coldly: "Eat two bowls of a meal, but the emperor didn't eat so much."

Madam Yu said softly: "The Queen has to practice swords every morning, noon and evening. She will only take half an hour to practice. It should be a lot of consumption, so she eats more."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager said to Zhang Wenwen: "I just said she was not pregnant, so don't be suspicious again in the future."

How could I practice swordsmanship early, noon and late when I am really pregnant?

Zhang Wenwen lowered her head when she heard this and said, "Auntie, I'm thinking too much."

She couldn't even enter the gate of Kunning Palace, but she didn't know what happened in Kunning Palace. She couldn't help but look at Madam Yu. After she entered the palace, she wanted to win over Madam Yu for so long without success.

The Empress Dowager held her hand and said, "Auntie knows that you are wronged, but you only need to wait for another half a year. In half a year, the Ai family will fulfill their original promise."

Madam Yu lowered her eyes, but she didn't see the ridicule in her eyes. The Empress was just a delaying strategy. After half a year, the prince was about to land.

Yi An thought that no one in Cining Palace knew that she was pregnant. In fact, a shrewd person like Madam Yu saw the clues at the beginning of her pregnancy. But the emperor asked her to help cover it up, so she pretended that she didn't know and still restrained the people below.
