Chapter 55: Congratulations
Seven days later, Emperor Han, who was having breakfast with Concubine Xiang in the Shifting Flower Palace, was startled by Grandma Gong with a panicked face.
Emperor Han put down his chopsticks and looked at Grandma Gong who was running over with a displeased expression.
"Presumptuous, you have been an errand boy in the palace for many years, have you even forgotten the rules of walking?"
Grandma Gong stepped over the high threshold and knelt down the steps.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened, this morning the old slave went to the Hanhai Palace to wait for the princess to get up, and found that the west window in the palace was open, and the princess was gone. ”
Emperor Han took a cup and drank a sip of fragrant tea, picked up a brocade towel and wiped his mouth, and said lightly: "Let her go!"
Grandma Gong looked at the monarch at a loss, and said in a trembling voice: "The old slave is at fault, and he can't look at the princess steadily, so he should be punished, but the gentleman is ...... The princess ran out so recklessly, do you want to arrange for the guards to protect ...... secretly"
"No, let her go!"
Grandma Gong was surprised inexplicably, in the past, the king loved the princess very much, and every move was firm, but this time the reaction was a little cold.
"Don't blame the princess, she is still young, just playful for a while. ”
"Since she likes to play, let her play, isn't that what she wants?"
Grandma Gong didn't dare to speak, so she had to kowtow and apologize for her sins and then withdrew.
Concubine Xiang smiled, put the peeled quail eggs into Emperor Han's mouth, and said coquettishly: "The princess is the most nervous princess of Chaoyang on weekdays, why is it abnormal today, the princess has a ...... temperament Ahem, it's a little reckless, so reckless to run out, if you meet some bad people who don't know her identity, how can it be good, it's better to send a team of guards to follow behind, in order to keep safe. ”
Emperor Han snorted, hugged Concubine Xiang with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Chaoyang, this girl is very dull, I have worked hard for her for 19 years, and she has not grown at all, Xiang'er, it is better for you to give birth to a prince for me, so as to inherit the unification! Chaoyang I don't expect it anymore, she can play wherever she likes." ”
Concubine Xiang was half shy and half surprised, and said in a greasy voice: "The concubine has been waiting for the king for many years, and her knees are especially weak, this is the concubine's fault......"
Emperor Han laughed, reached out and pinched Concubine Xiang's smooth face, and said, "You're right, it's just that the time has not yet come, and now is the time." ”
Concubine Xiang blushed and said: "The king is laughing, the concubine is looking forward to giving birth to a prince for the king, but ...... I don't fight for ......"
Emperor Han's expression was ambiguous, his hand slowly slipped down Concubine Xiang's waist, and said meaningfully: "Fight for qi...... How can you not be angry, someone is coming, pass on the imperial doctor!"
Concubine Xiang panicked and wanted to break free from the emperor's arms and kneel, but the king's hand was as strong as an iron hoop, and she didn't dare to show too much traces, so she could only whisper: "Your Excellency, why do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?"
In an instant, the Imperial Doctor of Song, who was carrying the medicine box on his back, ran and now, he was crawling on the ground: "I don't know what happened when the king summoned Weichen into the house early in the morning?"
Emperor Han let go of Concubine Xiang, sat up straight, and said, "I summoned you to come to ask you to diagnose Concubine Xiang's pulse." ”
Imperial Doctor Song hurriedly said: "Yes, I don't know where Niangniang is uncomfortable?"
Concubine Xiang was stunned for a while, she was healthy during this time, and she did not feel the slightest discomfort, but since the king called the imperial doctor, she had to follow Emperor Han's meaning and said: "This palace is depressed and bitter during this time...... Imperial Doctor Song, what do you think is the problem?"
Imperial Doctor Song stood up and walked to Emperor Han and Concubine Xiang, a palace maid had already put a silk handkerchief on Concubine Xiang's wrist, and after Imperial Doctor Song told him the crime of disrespect, two fingers were gently placed on Concubine Xiang's wrist.
Soon, he raised his two thick eyebrows, and said to the palace maid Nunu, signaling to change the silk handkerchief to Concubine Xiang's other wrist, Concubine Xiang looked at Imperial Doctor Song's serious expression, and couldn't help but get nervous, and said, "Imperial Doctor Song, this palace is fine, right?"
Song Imperial Doctor carefully checked the pulse, did not answer Concubine Xiang's question immediately, finally, his fingers left Concubine Xiang's wrist, took a step back and knelt down, and after shouting three times, he said loudly: "Congratulations, Concubine Xiang is happy, and it has been more than four months." ”
Concubine Xiang sighed and said in a trembling voice: "Imperial Doctor Song, are you diagnosing the wrong pulse? I am already pregnant for three months? How can this be .....?"
Emperor Han laughed: "Why is it impossible? Imperial Doctor Song is the first divine doctor of my Great Han Imperial Kingdom, how can the pulse diagnosed by him be fake." Okay, Song Jie, you go back to the imperial hospital quickly, prescribe a fetal elixir, and vow to ensure that the child in Concubine Xiang's womb is born safely, do you know? ”
Imperial Doctor Song retreated in fright, Concubine Xiang looked at Emperor Han with a happy face, but she didn't dare to speak.
Emperor Han smiled and encouraged her a few words and went to the court, the palace maids saw the king leaving, and they all stepped forward to say hello to Concubine Xiang, but Concubine Xiang was not happy at all, her hand was on her lower abdomen, and she said with a sad face: "Where did I come from? You know, I only came to the menstrual event a few days ago!"
The palace maids woke up suddenly, and they were all shocked: "Yes, yes, the slaves and maids patronized and rejoiced, and forgot about this matter, but Niangniang, why did Imperial Doctor Song insist that you are pregnant in April?"
Concubine Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "That's it, this damn Song Jie, open your mouth, isn't this pushing me into the fire pit?"
