Chapter 40: The Heat of the Summer

Wang Ningxuan still smiled gently, as if he didn't care, but who understands the pain that spreads through his heart? And who will gently comfort you? She heard herself reply gently and gently: "This matter, I can't be in a hurry, and when the concubine finds the opportunity, I will ask the queen mother for favor!" I must ask for the grace of the queen mother, please rest assured! ”

This is the promise, Xi Ze was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "You agreed?!" That's great! ”

What can she do? She had no choice but to say yes.

Xi Ze said again: "Ning Xuan, as long as you can help me get the queen mother's grace to lift Yun Tian's grounding order, I will give you whatever reward you want!" I am the Son of Heaven and will never break my word! ”

As if there was a dawn shining ahead, Wang Ningxuan saw Shen Luyi slowly walking towards her in the dawn, she smiled with relief, and said gently: "Your Majesty, in fact, the queen mother still remembers you very much in her heart!" During this time, if you have time, you can go to Shou'an Palace with your concubines to sit and accompany your mother! The queen mother is in a good mood, and this request for grace will naturally be smooth! The concubine will do her best to find an opportunity to open up to the queen mother! ”

Xi Ze hurriedly agreed: "Okay, good!" I listen to you, you say go, I go! ”

In the following time, Xi Ze went to Shou'an Palace with Wang Ningxuan to accompany the Queen Mother as soon as he had time.

The Queen Mother was really overjoyed.

After a period of time passed, Wang Ningxuan mentioned the matter of Yuntian in a timely manner and said a lot of good things, Xi Ze was very wise to shut up, but no matter what Wang Ningxuan said, the Queen Mother seemed to be uneasy and refused to be gracious.

Xi Ze was also very helpless, coaxing the Queen Mother, and at the same time continuing to perfunctory.

As time went on, the weather got hotter.

The days of the harem concubines, with the advent of the scorching heat, seem to be anxious.

The first one who is not heat-tolerant is Ye Jing'an, who is eight months pregnant. has been sending people to complain to the middle palace.

In the early morning of this day, Ye Jing'an sent a cardinal to complain to Wang Ningxuan that the Internal Affairs Office had withheld her money, and the ice was not enough, which caused the heat in the Guiyan Palace and hindered the emperor's heir.

Due to the inconvenience of pregnancy, Wang Ningxuan had already waived Ye Jing'an's invitation ceremony. This early morning came to the middle palace naturally was her palace maid.

Hearing this complaint, Wang Ningxuan really had a headache, and after asking An Li to disperse, she summoned Huang Qin, the steward eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office.

Heard Wang Ningxuan's intention to pass him on clearly. This Huang Qin suddenly shouted that he was wronged, and he said, "Wronged! The minions are really wronged! The queen mother! Concubine Yi is pregnant with a dragon heir, how dare the slave deduct her use! Naturally, it is enough to give! Not only that, but the Bing Na sent to the Guiyan Hall was second only to Niangniang among the six palaces, and there were more than other palaces. How can it be less? How can it not be enough? ”

Wang Ningxuan had a headache when she heard this, and only said: "Concubine Yi is pregnant, of course, she is more afraid of heat, and it is inevitable to be more delicate, since she has spoken, for the sake of the emperor's heir, you will go back later, just send more ice over!" ”

Huang Qin was full of embarrassment: "Niangniang forgives her sins, it's not that the slaves don't send it, the ice in each palace has been delivered this month." Some of the remaining ice is to be given to the Queen Mother, where is the extra ice to be sent to the Guiyan Palace? The ice sent to the Guiyan Hall is really the most among the concubines, and the slaves don't dare to lie in front of the mother! ”

Wang Ning frowned and asked, "Is there really nothing too much?" ”

Huang Qin said truthfully: "Only those left are sent to Shou'an Palace!" Is it to move a little bit from there? ”

When Wang Ningxuan heard this, his eyebrows frowned even tighter, how could the things given to the Queen Mother be moved? Wang Ningxuan was helpless, so he had to wave Huang Qin away. Then he ordered someone to invite Ye Jing'an.

Since Ye Jing'an's invitation was exempted, Wang Ningxuan hasn't seen Ye Jing'an for a while. I saw her with a big belly, and walked into the Chaofeng Hall with the support of the cardinal, as if she couldn't stand steadily. It's really delicate.

She had just bent her knees, and Wang Ningxuan hurriedly said, "No need to salute, sit down and talk!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Ye Jing'an smiled extremely sweetly and sat down beside Wang Ningxuan.

Wang Ningxuan looked at Shuying. Said: "Tea!" ”

Shuying immediately replied "yes", and after a while, she presented Ye Jing'an with a cup of hairy tips. Ye Jing'an stretched out her hand to take it, she seemed to be very thirsty, and drank several sips before putting it down.

A qiē looks very ordinary. It was as if Ye Jing'an came to the Middle Palace, just chatting with Wang Ningxuan about family life. A qiē is as calm as a windless lake, as quiet as a mirror.

Wang Ningxuan looked at Ye Jing'an and asked, "My sister's ice is all used up?" ”

Ye Jing'an replied with a delicate face: "This month, today is only the beginning of the day, and more than half of the ice in the concubine's place has been used, how will you spend the rest of the days!" Niangniang, the servants of the Internal Affairs Office deduct the use of concubines, you have to be the master of the concubines! The concubine actually doesn't matter, it's just that if the imperial heir in the concubine's belly suffers, if the imperial heir has a case, how can it be good? ”

Wang Ningxuan frowned slightly, and said: "The palace has summoned the Huang Steward just now, and he said that the ice sent to the Guiyan Palace was sent according to the regulations, and there was no shortage of it, and only the ice sent to the Shou'an Palace was left in the Internal Affairs Office, how can this be good?" Why don't you deduct the ice that was given to the queen mother and give it to your sister? On the queen mother's side, let's talk about it from this palace! ”

When Ye Jing'an heard this, her face turned pale, and she suppressed the hatred in her heart in an instant, and said, "How can this be done?" This ice for the Queen Mother, how dare the concubines ask for it? ”

Wang Ningxuan showed a look of embarrassment: "Then I have to grieve my sister!" There's really no extra ice left! Be sure to send more next month! ”

Ye Jing'an couldn't, so she had to say, "Okay then!" The concubine will be in this month first, and the time is not too early, and the concubine will retire first! ”

As he spoke, he took the cardinal's hand and slowly walked towards the outside of the Phoenix Palace.

When she was far away, Shuying couldn't help but say, "Just because she is expensive, she deliberately pretends to be pretentious, doesn't she just want more ice?" Isn't she tired of tossing back and forth for so long......"

Wang Ningxuan turned to Shuying coldly, and stopped Shuying from talking with his eyes.

The shadow here has stopped, Wang Ningxuan turned his eyes to look out of the hall again, today's events, Wang Ningxuan always felt that something was wrong!

This Ye Jing'an usually doesn't look like an arrogant person, why is she so squeamish now?

So what's wrong?

Just as Wang Ningxuan was pondering, the cardinal went and returned, rushed into the Chaofeng Hall with tears on his face, knelt on the ground and cried: "Queen Mother, my master has just returned to the Guiyan Palace, and his stomach hurts, and now he is red, I'm afraid that I will be born prematurely, Niangniang help!" ”

In an instant, cold sweat exploded in the scorching heat, hitting Wang Ningxuan's sweat and hairs standing on end.

Wang Ningxuan hurriedly asked, "Have you passed the imperial doctor?" ”

Cardinal replied, "It's already been passed on!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Ningxuan stabilized his mind a little and said, "Don't worry, this palace will pass!" ”

As he spoke, he summoned Shuying and set up the palace of Guiyan. (To be continued.) )
