"Alright, no need to be so courteous. Lunch is simple, just use it casually. In the afternoon, all of you should rest well. The emperor and the other palace ladies will come over tonight. Just pay attention when the time comes." Qian Yulian, who was usually dressed elegantly, had only casually waved her hand to say a few words to Mrs. Zhou and Yun Shengyue when they came to pay their respects. There was no way to tell if her expression was warm or cold.

Yun Shengyue was arranged to sit on Qian Yulian's right, followed by the Zhou family, who happened to face Murong Ying. They only gave her a polite smile before lowering their heads.

In the Blue Lotus Palace, the food had been distributed by the palace maids. It should be the food that Qian Yulian liked, regardless of whether or not she and Madame Zhou liked to eat it, they would eat some of each item for free and had plenty of ingredients.

"Yue Er, you look much rounder than before." Mu Rong Ming was speechless, but he had a gentle smile on his face. This time, he wasn't as impatient as before.

Yun Sheng only nodded his head slightly but did not say anything. Qian Yulian stared warily at Murong Ming and said in a softer voice, "Littlemoon, you are currently eating two servings. Judging by the weight of your body, it can't be considered heavy. You still have to eat more."

"Yes."

When Qian Yulian saw the respectful expression on Yun Sheng's face and Lady Zhou's humble expression, she felt very satisfied. She felt that they were still the embroidery ladies and maidservants of the Hundred Miles Manor back then, so she did not pay much attention to them. After eating a little, she said that she wanted to take a rest first and let them rest after they finished eating.

With Qian Yulian gone, Madam Zhou felt the pressure lessened. However, Yun Shengyue became even more nervous. Murong Mingyue continued to eat with a good appetite and looked at her gently from time to time. The court ladies stood obediently behind them, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

Yun Sheng looked at Lady Zhou. Seeing that she did not have much to eat, he placed down his chopsticks and said softly, "Mother, I've finished eating."

"Oh, okay. I've finished eating too." Mrs. Zhou also quickly put down her chopsticks.

Murong Hui chuckled. "I remember that your appetite is not so small, Yue Er. Why are you eating so little? It's fine if you're hungry, but aren't you afraid of starving the child in your belly?"

"I'm really not hungry and I don't want to eat." Yun Shengyue still had her eyes closed.

Madam Zhou looked at Murong Mingyue and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but she did not know what to say.

Murong Ming did not want to argue with Yunsheng. He clapped his hands and called a palace maid over. "Go cook some good bird's nest, osmanthus cake, white sugar cake, and other snacks. Send them to the Duke of Qin's wife and Madam Yun later."

"Thank you, your highness Duke Ming!" Seeing that Yun Shengyue did not say a word, Madame Zhou could only take the initiative to express her thanks.

"Why is Mommy Zhou so polite?" Murong Hui smiled even more warmly and addressed Madame Zhou as before. "Mufei and I have only changed our identities. Our relationship hasn't changed. I wonder why Yue Er has such an affair."

"It's nothing. Yue Er is just a bit older now and will soon become a mother. It's not good for her to be as impudent as before." Madame Zhou smiled.

When she saw his smiling face and his warm attitude as usual, she wondered if her attitude was too harsh. Some things still had to pass, and no matter what, Murong Chong had taken care of her for ten years. It would definitely hurt his heart if she rejected him for a distance of a thousand miles.

After a moment of thought, he smiled and said, "In the end, Shengyue is still petty. She always feels constrained when she enters the palace, so she doesn't dare to speak much. Second Imperial Brother, please forgive her!"

"Elder Brother Huang, you came to see me. It sounds awkward. Yue Er, you should call me Elder Brother Ming." Murong Mingtian asked.

"Yes, Ye-dage."

"Since everyone doesn't want to eat anymore, then I'll send Yue'er and Madam to Ya Lin Xuan. With some snacks later, there will definitely be a lot of noise at night. Yue Er, if you're tired, you don't have to hold on."

"Alright, I understand." In the face of Murong Mingyue's usual gentleness and consideration, all sorts of feelings welled up in Yun Shengyue's heart.

"Your servant greets the wangfei and Madam Yun!" As soon as he entered Ya Lin Xuan, it was as if he was walking toward him.

However, she could not be blamed for that. She was a servant after all, so she must have listened to her master's arrangements. Mrs Zhou, on the other hand, had a look of joy on her face when she saw her. "It's getting more and more tender. I don't even dare to recognize it anymore."

"Madam is too courteous. It's been a long time since we last met, and Madam's complexion has improved." She walked to Madame Zhou's side as if she was her own wife.

They had met each other before, but their friendship was not that deep. It was just that the Zhou family rarely saw someone they knew in the palace, so they could not help but feel closer to each other.

"Your Highness, it's rare for Madam Yun to come to the palace and you don't have any acquaintances. Please allow this servant to accompany you." It was as though he suddenly said something.

"Mm, then you have to take good care of Madam."

"Yes!" Madam, there are many flowers blooming in our palace. Today's weather is good, so I'll accompany Madam in taking a look if it's not too hot or too cold. " Just like a suggestion.

Mrs Zhou looked at Yun Shengyue and asked for her opinion. "It's still early. Yue Er, why don't we go together?"

Yun Sheng gave a shallow smile and said, "Mother, go take a look. I'm a little tired and would like to go back and rest first."

"Madam, please take a walk. I'll send Yue Er back." Murong Yu had an impeccable smile on his face.

"Madam, let's go. The wangfei is heavy, so let's rest first. This servant will pick some flowers later and put them in a bottle for the wangfei to see." As if she was holding onto Zhou Weiqing's arm, the Zhou family saw that Yun Shengyue's expression was calm and did not have any objections. After a moment of hesitation, they followed her out of the room.

After they left, Yun Sheng Yue looked up and said bluntly, "Brother Ming, if you have anything you want to say to me, feel free to say it to me. There's no need to deliberately shirk my mother."

"Yue Er is always so intelligent. Yes, I asked mufei to announce you two to the palace. I was afraid that you wouldn't come, so I called you Madam. I was also afraid that you wouldn't speak to me, so I let you go." Mu Rong Zhen said honestly.

Seeing how he was admitting to his actions immediately, Yunsheng did not know what to say. She could only turn to look at the Begonia by the side of the road. It was so tender and pink that it had already bloomed quite a bit.

"I was in the wrong in the past, so I don't blame you for giving birth to me. It was all my fault, but it hurt too much to ignore me like that, so I just blurted out some bad words. Yue Er, can you forgive me?" With an earnest expression on his face, Murong Mingtong grabbed Yun Shengyue's hand.

He understood that Yunsheng was the one who had submitted to him the most. With him lowering his position and taking all the blame for his mistakes, Yunsheng felt embarrassed as well. She thought that it was beyond her expectation that the Emperor had bestowed the marriage on her, and given Murong Mingyue's status, he could not help but blame everything on him for being unfair.

Thinking this, his heart softened, but he did not withdraw his hand immediately. "I will remember all the care that the Imperial Concubine and Brother Ying have given to us. Brother Ming also has a good wife now. Let's live well from now on."

"En, Yue'er, it's good that you don't blame me for this. You don't know how much I regret this, and since you're at your wit's end, I won't force you any further. As long as the diligent king treats you well, I won't worry about you as long as you can live a good life." Mu Rong Ming's face showed some excitement, his eyes were filled with reluctance, but his mouth was still filled with generous words.

When she thought of the past ten years of being together with him, she was filled with mixed emotions. She never expected the two of them to reach such a state today, with him being the one she thought to be her greatest benefactor. Who knew that there would be such a heaven-defying change!

There was no way to change one's identity, etiquette, and family love, so they could only put down their feelings. They could only smile and make peace, calmly facing each other, and then live a good life.

"Yue Er!" Before Yun Sheng could say anything, a cold shout interrupted his complicated feelings as he turned around. It was Murong Yu.

With a smile, Murong Hui released Yue Er's hand and asked, "Is my brother back? Yue Er is pregnant, how could you bear to leave for so long? If it was me, I would definitely be accompanying her day and night. "

"I have no choice but to do what royal father has instructed me to do. Yue Er will accompany you. I will not trouble second royal brother to worry about me in the future!" Murong Yu suppressed his anger and said coldly.

Although there was a thorn in his words, Mu Rong Zhen raised his eyebrows as he said, "Since royal brother is back, then please accompany Yue Er. I still have to take my leave. Yue Er, you have to take care of yourself. We'll meet again tonight."

Yun Shengyue could only nod slightly. Her eyes lowered slightly, but no one dared to look at her.

Murong Yu smiled happily as he left, leaving behind the two people who were silently standing there. After a long while, he heard Murong Yu ask in a low voice, "Do you remember now?"

"Yes." Facing Murong Yu, Yun Sheng Yue felt somewhat helpless. He was obviously unhappy, but he did not question her. The moment he opened his mouth, he asked her this crucial question, but she was unwilling to lie to him, so she could only answer honestly.

"Imperial Concubine Lian's birthday present has already been sent in. Please follow me to live at Hua Qing Palace." Murong Yu didn't say anything else. He pulled Yun Shengyue up a little roughly and walked out.

"Cui'er and Lan'er are here as well, and my mother …" He had no idea how he should face Murong Yu in the first place. His stiff attitude made Yun Sheng very nervous.

"I'll get someone to take them."

"Oh …" She felt that his hands were big and strong as he tightly held her hand. His tall body was a bit tight and her stature was short. Even when she tried her best to raise her head, she could only see half of his face and resolute chin.

"Ya!" Just as she left the Jade Lotus Palace, the foot of the somewhat hurried Yun Shengyue who had been walking on a cobblestone path suddenly slipped. She could not help but scream out loud, but Murong Yu, who had always been cool, quickly hugged her with a nervous expression.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? "

He hugged her so tightly that their bodies were already stuck together. Then, he lowered his head and asked. A warm aura pounced straight at her, causing her face to quickly flush red. She immediately thought of the intimate feelings she had when she went overboard. Her heart began beating like a drum.

"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable? " Murong Yu became even more nervous when he saw her lower her head and not say anything. He was worried that he had left in a rush and became upset. How could he be unhappy and forget that she was pregnant?

"I'm fine!" I slipped on a boulder. " When she saw his nervous and worried expression, she felt her heart warm up. He still cared about her. His cold and stiff attitude from before made her feel very uncomfortable.

Only then did Murong Yu notice that they were walking on a cobblestone path that was moving up and down. He immediately let go of his arm and bent down to pick up Yun Shengyue in his arms.

"Ah, no! "So many people in the palace …" Yun Sheng looked around nervously. Although there were few people on this path, there was still some distance between him and the palace. He had to reach the main road at some point, so what did it look like?

Murong Yu didn't care at all. He held her in his arms and walked with big steps while saying with dissatisfaction, "Haven't you eaten at the mansion? How come there's still no flesh? "

"Who says it's nothing. It's already fatter. Quickly put me down, I can walk by myself." Yun Sheng struggled slightly, but he did not notice the coquettish tone in his voice.

Murong Yu was still unwilling to let her go. Yun Shengyue understood his stubbornness, so she could only gently hold onto his sleeves and say, "Can you let me off after walking down this small path and walk on my own? "There's still a long way to go. I'm fine, walk slowly with me."

Murong Yu looked at her in disbelief when he heard the gentleness in her voice. Only when he saw the bashful expression on her face did he feel a tinge of happiness. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask again, "Have you really recovered your memories?"

"I haven't told anyone in the mansion yet, I must have brought you trouble!" "How is it?" Yun Sheng bit his lips lightly. His mood when facing Murong Yu was really special. It was a strange yet intimate feeling. "Why haven't you written back for so long?"

When Murong Yu heard the rebuke in Yun Sheng's tone, he instead felt comfortable and hurriedly explained, "The case that Imperial Father ordered involve many officials. WeChat was not easy to tell you, so …"

"Then let's report it as safe and sound!" Yun Shengyue pouted and thought back to how she had been worrying a lot over the past few days. Murong Yu had not received any news, so she had to ask Cui'er to ask the guards about him.

Murong Yu had already walked out of the stone road and placed Yun Shengyue on the flat flagstone road. His arm was still around her waist, but his expression had softened by quite a bit. "Are you worried about me?"

"Of course!" Although she had mixed feelings after regaining her memories, she could not deny that other than recalling the past, the person she thought about the most was Murong Yu. He was the father of the child in her womb.

Murong Yu finally let out a grin. His pitch black eyes were brimming with energy and vitality as he hugged Yun Shengyue tightly and whispered, "Do you blame me? "I was always worried that you would blame me and blame me for not telling you the truth. I was just afraid, afraid that you would not care about me when you thought of the past."

"You can't be considered to be lying. I originally …" I was your wife in the first place, except to say nothing. When I lost my memory, you … Is that true of me? " The coldness of the past few days had made her unable to understand. Were the words he said to love her, to pamper her, and the actions he did to cherish her to the bones true? This was the most important thing.

"Of course it's true. Forgive my actions on that night in the Prince's Mansion, I just …" He had been drugged that night, but he couldn't say it, and sometimes he even thanked her for that night. If it hadn't been for that, he might have lost so much to her that he wouldn't touch her for the sake of their agreement.

When he caught a glimpse of a member of the palace passing by not far away, Yunsheng hurriedly covered his mouth with a blush. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's, let's return to Tsinghua Palace first."

"Alright!" Murong Yu didn't disagree at all. He was happy with his heart.

Although Yun Sheng was not as passionately reliant on him as he was when he lost his memories, he was not as cold, angry or resentful as the ones he feared. After worrying about the problems of the winter, he felt much more relaxed.

As he watched their retreating backs, he couldn't help but feel anger and resentment towards Yue Er. So it turned out that he was the only one who still had feelings from the past. She had truly put that down and taken the initiative to throw herself into Murong Yu's embrace.

How could Murong Yu be stronger than him? Her father had always praised him, and Yue'er had changed her mind so quickly as well, so he lowered his position and blamed all of his mistakes on her. He couldn't blame her for forgetting him, couldn't blame her for being on good terms with Murong Yu when she lost her memories, and she didn't even mind the child in her womb.

What was he in Yun Sheng's heart? Is he just a nobody of the past? He really couldn't accept it!
