The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Mu Xi Yao nurtured her fetus in Danruo courtyard, enjoying life to her heart's content. Each day, she didn't forget about sending food to Zhong Zheng Lin at the front yard. She was very thoughtful as she didn't even once miss his meal.

Wei Zhen thought it would be better for mistress Yao to not send the meals. Every time his Highness saw the food but not the person his expression would turn so gloomy and terrible it frightened people. Despite that, each time he would use the meal that was delivered over. It was indeed strange.

Inside the Zhu Ying Hall, lady Zhang was plagued by feelings of anxiety. Only she was aware of the suffering she was experiencing right now. After his Highness has abruptly graced her last time, lady Zhang was quite frightened.

She even suspected that his Highness had deliberately made such a move to turn her into a target and keep off calamity from falling upon Mu cefei who was about to give birth. She envied that cefei had his Highness's full protection. That was his Highness's genuine doting.

At the moment, all of the women in the inner yard had their attention fixed on her, green with envy and longing to take her place. The hatred in those women's eyes scared lady Zhang so much she was unable to sleep well. Ske knew well that she had no favor to depend on. As a result, she became increasingly cautious, being very wary when going out of her courtyard.

On the other hand, Mu cefei who was being envied by others was pregnant with a bun, enjoying herself in Danruo courtyard. Every day, the news that was sent out was all "cefei is well, cefei is radiating with health and vigor". When Wei Zhen heard those words, he immediately trembled. Sure enough, his Highness's expression has turned ugly.

At this stage, how could Wei Zhen not know what was going on? His Highness refused to give in to mistress Yao. He would go back to rest in Danruo courtyard every night, yet during the daytime, he would stay in the study with a cold face, from time to time inquiring the news from that side.

Though his Highness longed for the other person, he wouldn't say it clearly. Cefei also seemed to be baffled recently. Whenever she spoke to his Highness, she would look carefully at his Highness's expression. Thus and so, he was afraid that His Highness was actually getting further and further away from his expectations.

It was a pity mister wasn't in the capital these days. Otherwise, there would be a person to consult with.

This month, Zhong Zheng Lin got by very badly. Every time he faced Mu Xi Yao, he wanted to ask her what would make her be willing to comply with his wish instead of sticking to her secure spot and refusing to advance.

However, since it was the sixth Highness's first time falling in love, he didn't know how to open his mouth. Furthermore, he was unable to let go of his face. As a result, he endured and remained in a deadlock with her.

Mu Xi Yao didn't understand Zhong Zheng Lin's complicated thoughts. She only felt that the boss's recent temperament has changed. She assumed it was because the man was currently at the puberty and it was probably somehow similar to a woman's menopause. Having some inexplicable tempers was completely understandable. Hence, in their interaction she accommodated to him a bit, becoming unusually considerate and tolerant.

These days, her Ladyship consort Shu was beaming with smiles. When she saw Mu Xi Yao who came to pay her respect, she immediately took her hand to talk and drink tea with her. These two's mother-in-law's and daughter-in-law's relationship became increasingly close.

Mu Xi Yao was the lucky star in the consort Shu's eyes. Since they had her, her son's problem has gradually started to get better. The way he treated concubines has also changed to some extent. Though he went only that once, who can say clearly, there won't be a second or a third time?
