Chapter 219 A Chance Encounter in the Imperial Garden

At this time, the emperor had already returned to Taiji Hall with Yuanbao in his arms. It was not that he did not value Yuanman, but that he was content as long as he had his grandson.

After sitting for a while, Hui Chengyuan said, "Father, let's go see the Queen Mother and come back in the evening."

The emperor looked at Yuan Bao reluctantly and said, "Okay, let's have dinner together then."

Hui Chengyuan waved to Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, let's go to the Empress Dowager."

"Okay." Yuanbao jumped off the dragon throne holding the things the emperor gave him.

The emperor was jealous when he saw his positive attitude. "Yuanbao missed his grandfather the most, why did he leave so soon?"

"Grandfather, Yuanbao will come to accompany you after he visits grandmother. Don't be sad." Yuanbao said as he patted his knee with a serious look on his face.

The emperor immediately smiled and said, "It's a deal then. Yuanbao must come back soon to accompany Grandfather."

Yuanbao nodded, "Okay, don't worry, Grandfather."

There is a distance from Taiji Hall to the Queen's Changle Palace. After all, Taiji Hall is in the front palace, while Changle Palace is the back palace, with an imperial garden in between.

Yuan Man saw several young and beautiful girls in the imperial garden and looked at Hui Chengyuan in surprise, "Did the emperor take a new concubine?"

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Father has not taken any concubines for twenty years. These should be the concubines' nieces who came to the palace to play."

The intention is naturally self-evident.

Yuan Man raised an eyebrow and whispered in his ear, "If the news of my pregnancy were to be announced, I'm afraid that only young and beautiful girls would come and go in front of the Prince's Mansion."

Hui Chengyuan pinched her nose and said, "No, they won't linger in front of the Prince's Mansion unless they don't want to live anymore."

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Three good-looking girls came towards them, each putting their best face forward to salute.

Yuanman held Yuanbao's hand and looked at them. Not to mention, they were all young and beautiful, and they were all pleasing to the eye.

"Stand up." Hui Chengyuan was about to leave when one of them smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am Wanrong, your aunt is Concubine Lin. I came to visit my aunt today. I never thought I would have the honor to meet Your Highness. It is such an honor."

Yuanman raised an eyebrow.

Hui Chengyuan didn't look at her, but took Yuan Man's hand and said, "This prince just returned to Kyoto today, and you met in the Imperial Garden. Whether it is an honor or not remains to be considered."

Lin Wanrong's smile froze on her face. She had indeed rushed into the palace after receiving the news. She knew that the prince was in Taiji Hall and would go to Changqiu Palace at any time, so she waited here.

The other two girls had the same goal as her.

Hui Chengyuan led Yuan Man to Changle Palace and said coldly, "Since you are visiting an elder, you should behave like visiting an elder. Don't hide any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Lin Wanrong's face turned pale, "Yes."

After the prince walked away, one of the girls said, "I said that this kind of chance encounter with the prince is useless. The prince will not take anyone else seriously except the crown princess. Otherwise, Yao Manman would not have ended up like this."

Lin Wanrong shuddered when she thought of Yao Manman's fate.

She had seen Yao Manman once. After her engagement was broken off by the Lin family, Yao Manman was driven out of the house by Prime Minister Yao and married to a poor scholar.

The former eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has now started to cook soup. She is still wearing cloth clothes and her face is frosted.

But now she has to follow in Yao Manman's footsteps.

Thinking of what her grandfather said, Lin Wanrong looked in the direction where the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess left. No, she would not and did not want to become like that.

The queen had heard the news a long time ago and knew that they were coming this way, so she did not go to the Taiji Hall, but stood at the palace gate waiting.

Seeing the family of three walking towards this side, he immediately smiled.

"Xiao'er, A'man, you are finally back."

"Oh, my Imperial Grandmother's Yuanbao. I miss her so much."

Yuanbao took the Queen's hand and said with a smile: "Yuanbao misses the Royal Grandmother too. Yuanbao even brought her a gift."

"Really? Let the Empress Dowager see it." The Queen said, and walked into Changle Palace holding Yuanbao.

The two people who were left outside looked at each other and followed him in.

After the queen looked at the gifts Yuanbao bought for her, she brought him some more gifts, then looked at Yuanman and smiled, "I heard that you went to Yunguo and must have been exhausted."

Yuan Man smiled and shook his head, "No, we can take a carriage and go slowly, it won't be tiring."

Then he told the queen about the interesting things he had heard on the road, gave her a few sets of clothes he had bought in Yuancheng, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, this is a specialty I brought back from Yuancheng, Yunguo. You can try it. It's very beautiful."

The Queen looked at the tightly wrapped thing and became curious, but she did not open it immediately. "Okay, let me take a look later."

"By the way, the other day your mother received a very nice set of headgear, which I think suits you very well."

As he said this, he asked someone to bring it up.

Yuanman stared at the set of pink pearl jewelry in the box, her eyes wide open. Pink pearls are such rare treasures.

"Thank you, mother. It looks very nice."

The Queen smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

"Oh, and there's a piece of western gauze of a similar color, you can take that back too."

Yuan Man responded with a smile, "Okay, thank you mother. I also brought you some seafood snacks from Haicheng. I'll have someone bring them over later. They all taste great."

The queen immediately smiled and said, "Okay, if we can't go to the beach, it's good to be able to eat there."

Yuan Man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Next time we go out, you can disguise yourself and go play with us for a while before coming back."

"There's nothing to do in the harem anyway. If there's something wrong, there are other people around."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to A-Man."

"Your father's birthday is in about ten days. Wait until after the birthday before leaving."

Yuan Man smiled and said, "I'm pregnant, so I won't go out this year."

"What! You are pregnant!" The queen looked at her in surprise, unable to hide the joy on her face.

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?" She glared at Hui Chengyuan. She couldn't glare at her daughter-in-law, but she could do whatever she wanted to her son.

Hui Chengyuan touched his nose and thought: Judging from the way you were fond of Yuanbao just now and the way you talked happily with your daughter-in-law later, how could I have a chance to say anything?

However, he seemed to have forgotten to tell his father. But it didn't matter. If his mother knew about it, his father would know about it sooner or later.

The queen glared at him and then asked, "Ah Man, it's been a few months. Is it harmful to your mouth? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yuan Man smiled and shook his head, "It's been more than two months. I haven't eaten anything and I'm in good health. I don't feel any discomfort."

Yuanbao, who had been playing with the gift given by the Queen, suddenly came over and said, "Grandmother, Yuanbao is going to have a sister. Yuanbao has bought a lot of gifts for her."

The queen hugged him and smiled, "Wow, our Yuanbao is so nice. He even knew to buy a gift for his sister."

Yuanbao grinned and squinted his eyes.
