Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

What are the four or five paintings in this area?

In a study in the mansion next to the imperial mausoleum, there are many such portraits piled up.

During the period of guarding the imperial mausoleum, apart from reading and practicing, his leisure time was painting.

Each painting is of the same woman.

On cold spring nights, on lazy summer afternoons, on snowy winter mornings.

He sat upright in the study, held up a pen, and carefully sketched the girl's every frown and smile, coquettishly like joy.

Such a focused profile made Li Yuanyuan's heart feel a little bit of pain.

She thought she was just a pawn, staying with King Yu just to monitor his every move. But unconsciously, her heart was no longer firm.

Every time she saw him looking at the girl in the painting distracted, her mood became more complicated.

The tragic experience in her childhood made Li Yuanyuan think that her heart was already as cold as iron, and she would not like anyone.

However, during the half a year in the imperial tomb, she watched King Yu miss another woman like that every day, and she gradually realized that her heart was sinking inch by inch.

She fell in love with King Yu.

But she didn't know whether she loved King Yu, or his loneliness and affection.

At this moment, watching King Yu sort out the portrait carefully, she asked softly, "Is it worth it?"

"What did you say?"

"For her, Your Highness has sacrificed too much. You lost the position of crown prince that was at your fingertips, and were exiled to the imperial mausoleum to suffer. When you came back to save her, you were injured and imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple for more than two months."

"It's not your turn to talk about these things."

"My concubine is not qualified to ask what your highness does. Even if your highness sacrifices his life for the one he loves, it is your own business. But... my concubine thinks you are worthless. Because Jiang Ning doesn't care about you at all. "

Li Hongyuan was looking at the girl in the painting with his chin resting, as if he didn't hear it.

Li Yuanyuan took a step forward: "She came to see you today because my concubine begged her, so she came. You have been locked here for more than two months, has she ever cared about you? I am not jealous of her, but It’s because I feel sorry for Your Highness, the inhuman person you entrusted to me.”

"so what?"

Li Hongyuan casually said, "This king just likes her and is willing to do these things for her.

"Even if she doesn't have you in her heart, you are better than the guard next to her, are you willing?"

"This king has long known about this kind of thing."

"What?

"This king has always known that she doesn't like him, and that's okay. Anyway, she is now my king's woman. Since this king likes her, he naturally wants to protect her."

"But Your Highness, have you forgotten your ideal and future? Is it worth it for such a woman who doesn't take you seriously?"

"The king is happy."

Li Hongyuan casually picked up the food box on the ground and opened it.

Various snacks, marinated goods, and even a small bottle of wine are neatly placed inside.

Seeing the wine, Li Hongyuan looked a little far away.

Speaking of which, he stayed in Dali Temple Prison for more than two months, and many people came to see him, and sent many things overtly and secretly. But no one ever brought a jug of wine.

The last time because of a drinking accident, it was because of jealousy that I belittled Jiang Ning that time.

Haven't had a serious drink since.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning sent a pot of wine.

Does this mean that she has forgiven what happened that time?

Li Hongyuan took out the jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and casually squeezed a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

The jerky is fresh, crispy and tender, perfect for drinking.

People who eat it are very upset.

Li Hongyuan was a little surprised.

Did she do it herself?
