99.Chapter 99: Rejection

The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the old emperor, who has been busy since the beginning of the year, decided to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to relax. The emperor can relax, but the prince can't relax, the emperor relied on the innate advantage of being a king and a father, and piled up all the work on his son, dressed lightly, and took the guards and father-in-law to go shopping and flirting with his sister.

The prince had already planned to take Su Yan out to play in the past few days to feel the joyful atmosphere of the festival, but this time it was all in vain. In addition to being aggrieved and depressed, she also felt sorry for his family Qingqing, when others could have fun, she could only stay in the East Palace and wait for him. Hmph, it's all his father's fault!

"Qingqing, you can invite your father-in-law and mother-in-law into the palace to come and see you." Before the prince left in the morning, he hugged Su Yan and comforted him, "You can also leave your mother-in-law to accompany you for dinner before returning home." ”

"Hmm." Su Yan nodded, plucked up his courage, raised his toes on the corner of the prince's lips, and gave a gentle kiss before blushing and said, "Qilang, don't worry about me, wait for you to come back for dinner at noon." ”

The prince hugged the person in his arms tightly with his backhand, and after reluctance, he had a whim, "I'll take Qingqing with me." "Anyway, there is a distinction between the inner and outer halls, he handles official affairs and receives courtiers outside, and Qingqing reads and writes in the inner hall, isn't it the same.

Su Yan shook his head decisively and refused, "Don't." She wrinkled her nose playfully at her husband, "There's a new dance there's in the Orchestra, and I'm going to go and see it." "There are new songs and dances to listen to and watch, so she doesn't want to be locked in a hut in a daze, and she has to be disciplined.

The prince was very disappointed, but he also knew that his mention was not realistic, and he reluctantly hugged his wife and kissed him again before taking someone away.

Su Yan sent her husband away, went to the side hall director first, and the day after tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the festival had already been prepared, and they were all rewarded. Her main work in the past two days is to sort out the gifts sent to the East Palace, make books and put them in the warehouse one by one, and by the way, end the inventory clearance work in the past month.

Yes, after a month of busy and orderly work, Miss Su finally figured out how much money her family has. took the opportunity of clearing the library and sorting the books, and also recognized the subordinates of the East Palace.

She had two sets of registers in her hands, one for the property under her name, and the other for the personnel, which included personal details such as name, age, physical characteristics, current position, previous position, when she arrived at the East Palace, and where she had been before coming to the East Palace. In addition, there is also information about each person's family, parents, cards, siblings, in-laws, and so on.

As the hostess of the East Palace, this is the basic information she must know. The rest is to learn more about the personality and ability of subordinates in the days to come, which takes a period of time, not a cluster.

"Niangzi, the youngest daughter of Scholar Zheng, has set a marriage date and will marry in half a month." Mu Lan opened a booklet and reminded Su Yan softly.

Scholar Zheng was one of the masters of the East Palace Chongwen Pavilion and was also the prince's teacher. Since Su Yan married into the East Palace, he has made a detailed investigation of the officials of the East Palace and the officials who are also Mr. Prince. It's not about privately learning about other people's family secrets, or factions in the court. The main thing is to know some personal and family situations, such as a bachelor's birthday, to remind the prince to appreciate something, not necessarily expensive, but to show that I value you. For another example, when the young daughter of Zheng University got married, she sent someone to add makeup to bring the relationship between the monarch and the minister closer.

Su Yan didn't think about it, and said: "Take out the set of gold peony inlaid jewelry in the ninth cabinet of the seventh warehouse, plus two red brocades, and let Li Ping send it to the bachelor's mansion, which can be regarded as my makeup for Zheng Xiaoniang." ”

"Yes." Mu Lan wrote down this and waited to ask someone to open the warehouse to get something.

"Besides, after the Dragon Boat Festival, you will move to Xishan, you will organize the things you want to take away in the past few days, and save time and chaos."

Hua Rong responded: "Yes." ”

"Banxia, someone sent a letter to my aunt, asking her to enter the palace tomorrow." Su Yan curled the corners of her lips in a good mood, she hadn't seen Daddy and Auntie for a month, and she really missed them. It's a pity that the little nephew is still too young to be brought into the palace and let her see it.

After the miscellaneous things were dealt with, it was only half an hour. Su Yan got up and stretched out, and after making today's menu, he planned to go to the study to read two books, put two stickers, and then practice the piano. The prince was about to come back, and after lunch, after the lunch break, he happened to have the energy to listen to new songs and watch new dances. She clasped her palms together and felt that her plan was perfect.

"Lady, lady......" Hongsang ran into the study in a panic.

Su Yan put down the book in his hand and looked up at her, "What's the matter?" ”

"Anhe Junjun has a difficult birth...... Hongsang was only halfway through his words, when he saw his crown princess standing up, walked in front of him in a few steps, and asked anxiously: "How is Wanwan?" ”

Hongsang said: "The chief envoy of the eldest princess's mansion came to see the lady in person, and wanted to invite Mama Su to come to the mansion, and the people were waiting outside the palace." "This woman, who was called Su Mama by Hongsang, is one of the two people with the best midwifery skills in Daxia today, and she was sent to the prince's mansion by the emperor in advance for the princess to give birth.

"Go and ask Mama Su." Su Yanqiang calmed down his anxious mood and sat down on the chair. "Sue Li Ping to see His Highness, and let His Highness send He Zhangyuan to the Shen family." He Zhangyuan is one of the two hospitals in Tai Hospital, and he is extremely proficient in gynecology. It's just the head of the Tai Hospital, and unless ordered by the emperor or the crown prince, he can't go out at will. The emperor took people out for a walk, and Su Yan only sent someone to find the prince. To be honest, it was not as convenient for the people from the princess's mansion to find the crown prince as her.

Everyone was sent out, and Su Yan stroked his beating heart, only to feel very flustered, and it was difficult to sit still. Since Song Wan got married last year, the two of them have seen each other less often, and they have only met three or five times in the past year. When Song Wan became pregnant, she hadn't seen her once.

Thinking of her cheerful and lively friend, who might die due to difficult childbirth, she couldn't stop crying. Wanwan has always been in good health, and she is being taken care of by the grandmother sent by the eldest princess, how can she have a difficult birth?

She only felt that the more she sat down, the more panicked she became, so she simply asked someone to move the bookcase out, picked up the medical books one by one and flipped through them, in order to feel at ease.

The East Palace sent people out again and again, but the news brought back was not clear, she couldn't even sit still, so she simply skimmed the medical book, walked to the window and stood, looking into the distance. I didn't feel that I put my hands together, and prayed silently in my heart, wishing my friend, mother and son safe.

The prince was summoning the minister, Li An was guarding outside the palace, and when he saw Li Ping coming over in a hurry, he was startled, thinking that something had happened to the crown princess. Hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's wrong with the lady? ”

Li Ping glanced at him, and said something simple and quickly, "The lady ordered me to come to His Highness, and I want to ask His Highness to send He Zhangyuan to Shen Mansion." "The husband married by Anhe Junjun is now working in the Hanlin Academy, although he is from the Shen family, and his uncle is a servant, he still does not have the right to ask for a doctor, let alone the head of the hospital.

Li An patted his chest and sighed, "I'm scared to death, I see you running with sweat, I think something happened to my lady." ”

Li Ping glared at him, "You crow's mouth." ”

Li An said: "You go back and resume your life, I will go to see His Highness." Then he turned and went into the temple.

The time was just right, the topic between the monarchs and ministers in the palace was over, and he was holding a teacup and gossiping a few words to relax, and Li An came in.

The prince asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Li An respectfully walked to the prince's side, bent down personally, whispered in his ear, and asked, "Your Highness, look?" ”

The prince didn't think about it, and directly ordered: "You go and invite He Zhangyuan to go to the Shen family immediately." "Ang Lee went out, and the prince couldn't sit still here. He knew that his beloved wife and Song Wan had a very good relationship (hum, Song Xiaowan had to be ranked behind Lone now), and he would definitely be sad when he heard the news at first glance. He had the heart to go back to the East Palace to see his daughter-in-law, and there were so many ministers in front of him, and he couldn't leave for a while, which was really annoying.

Those who have been in the court for a long time are all human spirits, and the prince's eyes have only made waves, and the ministers over there have already gotten up and respectfully retired.

When the prince rushed back to the East Palace, he saw his family Qingqing's eyes red and restless. He snatched it up in a few steps, took the person into his arms, stroked her back with his big hand, and comforted her softly: "Qingqing, don't worry, He Zhangyuan has already rushed there, and Cousin Song will definitely be fine." As he spoke, he held the cold and slightly trembling hands of the person in his arms, and couldn't stop soothing him.

The prince will be very distressed, and at the same time, he will also have a sense of distress for the first time. In his impression, Song Wan is extremely healthy, he has never had a few illnesses since he was a child, and he can do everything from horse racing and hunting. She is so healthy, she will have a difficult birth when she gives birth, what about Qingqing?

Thinking that his beloved wife in his arms might have a difficult birth and a dilemma of life and death, he couldn't stop trembling. However, the two have already married, and as a prince, he must have his own children. For a moment, the prince wanted other women to have children. The thought came to mind, and he kicked it aside.

With Qingqing here, he was annoyed to even glance at other women, let alone skin kisses. If he is close to other women, Qingqing will definitely be sad, how can he do something that makes Qingqing sad. Besides, Qingqing, as the crown princess, doesn't even have a child of her own, so how can she gain a foothold in the palace.

The prince thought about it, and he didn't have a foolproof test, so he had already made up his mind in his heart to ask Mama Su and He Zhangyuan about the precautions for a woman's pregnancy and childbirth, and then from now on, he would take care of his wife's body and do his best to ensure that his beloved wife gave birth safely. The prince silently put self-study of medical skills on the agenda.

Su Yanna knew that her husband would turn so many thoughts in her heart because of her friend's difficult birth. She looked more and saw that it was nearly noon. It's okay for her to skip meals, and the prince still has a lot of government affairs to deal with in the afternoon, so it's okay to skip lunch.

She patted her face, cheered up, and stood up from her husband's arms, "It's time for lunch, Shichiro eats more, there are still many government affairs to be busy in the afternoon." As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the palace maid: "Mu Lan, go and pass the meal." ”

The prince's heart is happy, look at it, my family Qingqing decisively cares about me the most. He controlled the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but curle, gently took the person back into his arms, and caressed his beloved wife's worried little face, "After dinner, I'll accompany Qingqing to take a look." ”

Su Yan shook her head silently, originally Song Wan had a difficult birth, and the Shen family was chaotic enough, so she didn't take the prince to cause chaos for others.

"Your Highness, lady's ......" Li An rolled in with a happy face.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were also dyed with joy, "But it's born?" ”

"Yes, Jun Jun gave birth to a big fat boy." Li An said happily, "He Zhangyuan's medical skills are excellent, after a few stitches, Junjun will be relieved, and the child will come down after a while." Mama Su and He Zhangyuan have seen it, as long as Junjun raises for two more months, his body will be fine. ”

Hearing that his friend's mother and son were safe, Su Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging was also put into his stomach. She turned her head and solemnly said to the prince: "Qilang, I want to go to Huguo Temple to worship in a few days." "I just prayed to my friend, but she worshiped all the gods and Buddhas, and now my friend's mother and son are safe, so she should go to the temple and Taoist temple to worship.

The prince hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll accompany Qingqing." ”

Song Wan was fine, and both husband and wife were relaxed. The prince will only find books scattered all over the temple. He curiously picked up a book and flipped through it, it turned out to be a medical book, "Qingqing also knows medical skills?" "What else will he not know, the prince is sincerely proud.

Su Yan embarrassedly snatched the medical book from the prince's hand, "I've read it all, but I don't want to understand it." Just now, I just asked for a moment of peace of mind, so I asked people to turn it out and take a look. After saying that, he called someone to clean up, and planned to put the medical books back in the bookcase and send them back to the study.

The prince hurriedly stopped: "Stay, I just have nothing to look through." "He plans to study medicine, and his wife has all kinds of teaching materials, of course he has to stay.

Su Yan didn't take it seriously, she just thought that her husband was like herself and liked to read all kinds of books.

After the two of them had lunch and rested together for a while, the prince got up and went to the Taiji Palace, where there were still small mountain-like folds waiting for him to see.

Su Yan ushered in Song Wan's mother, the eldest princess of Changping, she led someone to the door, took the hand of the eldest princess of Changping, and smiled affectionately: "Sixth aunt, please come in." ”

The eldest princess of Changping has a close relationship with Su Yan's mother, the Lu family, and Su Yan is good with Song Wan, she treats Su Yan as her own daughter, and she is not polite at the moment, and follows Su Yan into the inner hall, and the guest is seated.

The eldest princess of Changping sincerely thanked: "Qi Niang, thank you very much today." If it weren't for you, Wanwan would ......" Thinking of her daughter who was once in a coma and dying, the eldest princess of Changping couldn't help crying.

Su Yan hurriedly persuaded, "Sixth aunt, Wanwanji people have their own natural appearance, after passing this hurdle, they will naturally be safe and healthy in the future, and everything will go well." ”

The eldest princess of Changping wiped her eyes, "I accept your good words." She straightened her sleeves and said straight to the point: "Qi Niang, Wan Wan owes a little bit this time, I want to borrow a few more days from Mama Su to recuperate for her." Speaking of which, the eldest princess of Changping also has to say that her brother's partiality is boundless, and the daughters-in-law of her two sons are pregnant, and he doesn't pay much attention to it. But the prince is here, and the princess has not yet married, so she sent the two best midwives to the East Palace.

"Okay, I'll send someone to talk to Mama Su." Su Yan agreed very happily, she didn't have a baby yet, and Mama Su was raised in the East Palace, so it was better to go to the Shen Mansion to give full play to her light and heat.

The eldest princess of Changping came to the East Palace today with a heavy thank you gift, she was thinking about her daughter, chatted a few more words, left a gift and left. The eldest princess came and went in a hurry, and Su Yan didn't have a good time asking about Song Wan's difficult birth.

The prince knew a little earlier than Su Yan, he was originally in the interval between work, and asked He Zhangyuan to come over to talk about how to recuperate his family Qingqing so that he could work safely in the future. I don't want to, but I know something from He Zhangyuan's mouth, Song Wan's dystocia is caused by external forces.

To put it bluntly, Song Wan may have fallen before he gave birth, so he led to early delivery and dystocia.

This time, the prince's heart is even more mentioned, the palace is the darkest place in the world, and there are not a few concubines in the palace who have miscarriages, stillbirths, and even the death of little princes and princesses. Among them, most of them are caused by concubines competing for favor.

As soon as the prince diverged his thoughts, he was so frightened that his hands were cold, and he discussed with He Zhangyuan when it was best for a woman to give birth, while thinking about how to eliminate the list of little wives in his father's hand.

When the emperor returned from a happy flirtatious sister, he saw his son sitting in the palace with a stern expression, as if he had something important to discuss with him.

The emperor drew an arc in his heart, thinking that there was something wrong with the government that would make his son's face so long. "Shichiro, can you be shun today?"

The prince nodded, "It's all trivial. ”

The emperor doesn't understand, there is no serious incident, why are you pulling a long face to show me? "Shichiro, why didn't you go back to the East Palace?" Didn't you jump back to the East Palace to accompany your wife in the past?

The prince got up silently and solemnly gave the emperor a big salute, which made the old emperor stunned for a long time, "Qilang, you are ......"

"Daddy, I don't want to be good, I don't want to be a good woman, I don't want a widow." The crown prince muttered a string and said very simply: "The ones you prepared, either give them to the imperial brothers, or collect them yourself." ”

Emperor:...... We clearly said that after you get married for half a year, you will register a few Liangdi and Liangyuan to fill the East Palace, how can you change it without authorization.

"Nope." The emperor made a straight face, "How can there be only one crown princess in a country, it's not like words." "He can indulge his son in many things, but some of them can't. Such as children, such as rights.

The prince also knew that it was not realistic to completely reject his father, so he had to ensure that there could be no concubines with high status, and those with low status such as widows and the like would be casual. When the time comes, just go to that remote courtyard and don't let them come out.

"That Liangdi, Liangyuan, son-in-law don't want it." The prince took a step back and stared at his father stubbornly.

The emperor had a headache, didn't he just go out to play for two days, and his son gave him a problem, "Qilang, you should always tell sΓΉ me, why do you have to do this?" ”

The prince honestly learned today's events, and said very justifiably: "An He just married into the Shen family, it will be like this, not to mention Yan Yan." "It's a normal reason for him to worry about his daughter-in-law and future son.

The emperor's head hurt even more, he pinched his eyebrows, and sighed weakly: "Qilang, your daughter-in-law can endure it, she will take care of herself and the child." ”

The crown prince looked at the emperor, and his dark eyes were full of stubbornness: "Yan Yan can protect herself, it is her ability, and it has nothing to do with the heart of the son who wants to protect his wife and children." ”

The flowery emperor raised an infatuated son, and what could the old emperor say, so he had to delay: "Let me think about it." ”

"Don't think about it."

"Nope."

"There, the minister went to find Mrs. Lu." The prince also has a trick, he knows that his father is most afraid of Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu loves his granddaughter the most.

The emperor was so angry that he picked up the teacup in his hand, threw it at the prince's feet, and shouted angrily: "Go back to your East Palace, I tell you, if you want to take a concubine in the future, I won't allow it." ”

The prince pursed his lips and threw down three words disdainfully: "Who is rare." "Pull out your legs and go.

When the emperor got along with the crown prince, he didn't like the eunuchs and palace maids to serve in the house, and it was generally Jia Xi and Jia Le who stayed outside the door and listened to the instructions.

The emperor got angry with the prince and smashed the cup, and when the prince came out of the Taiji Palace, his face was pale, and he was suspected of being scolded by the emperor. All kinds of gossip soon spread throughout the palace and Beijing.

The prince got his father's reply, and went back to the East Palace happily, picked up his beloved wife, and turned around several times.

Su Yan was puzzled by his sudden joy, so he had to guess randomly, "But the father gave Qilang a holiday?" "Come to think of it, this is the only thing that can make the prince happy.

The prince was changing clothes, and he pinched his wife's little nose with his free hand, and teased her in a very good mood: "No, guess again?" ”

Su Yan condensed his eyebrows and thought hard, he really couldn't think of anything that could make the prince so happy, so he had to shake his head honestly, "I can't guess." ”

"Hehe, Qingqing will know later." The prince sells the guanzi.

The prince didn't say anything, and Su Yan didn't have so much curiosity, so he turned his head and put the matter down. On the contrary, it is the funny one, and from time to time when eating, he peeks at her face with his eyes. After finding that she was really not curious, and did not ask, the prince was unhappy, and after washing, he hugged his wife and rolled into bed, half-pressed the delicate person under him, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Qingqing, why don't you ask me?" ”

Su Yan said helplessly: "Qilang didn't say that I would know in the future." "She's not in a hurry.

The wayward prince buried his head in Su Yan's hair, and said sullenly: "But I want Qingqing to ask me." ”

Su Yan: ......
