Chapter 4 Favor

87_87437 Empress Guo put on a big red dyed gold lynx skin crane and sat in the phoenix, with her own queen guard of honor, and came to the door of Lingxiao Pavilion. I just happened to meet a group of concubines who rushed to hear the news.

The lady concubine at the head has a pair of charming and amorous peach blossom eyes, two bent willow eyebrows, a nose like a hanging gall, and lips like red cherries. Her thousands of green silk were pulled into a delicate flying fairy bun, and a long crystal was swayed diagonally, swaying slightly in her every move, like the blue waves of starlight moving in Lingling. He was wearing a long skirt covered with brocade knurled raccoon fur covered in snow, and a white cloak with a fire fox collar on the outside.

This concubine is the biological mother of the second prince, and in this harem, only she and the queen gave birth to a prince. Now I heard that the concubine Li, who was deeply favored by the saint, was also pregnant, so she couldn't sit still in Changxin Palace, and rushed over with a group of low-ranking concubines who were close to her in Su Ri.

Seeing the arrival of the queen Fengren, Concubine Shu did not dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down with the concubines. Empress Guo condescendingly looked at the flower-like beauty who was kneeling down, and said lightly: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother."

The palace maid Jing'er helped Queen Guo get off the phoenix, and the concubines walked towards the Lingxiao Pavilion in a mighty way.

The dormitory of Lingxiao Pavilion is unusually quiet, the big kang near the window is covered with a big red butterfly pattern cloud brocade mat, the front is set up with a big red butterfly pattern cloud brocade backrest, a stone blue butterfly pattern cloud brocade pillow, and an autumn fragrance butterfly pattern cloud brocade mattress. There is a pair of plum blossom black lacquer tables on both sides, and on the left table is a frozen blue glazed ice cracked amphora, which is inserted with a branch of cold incense floating, like rouge-like red plum. On the right table, there are Wen Wang Ding, fruit plates, tea cups and other things. Zhu Xian was leaning on the back of the big red money python, slightly closing his starry eyes, and holding a string of Vajra Bodhi Agate Buddha beads in his hand. I don't know if I'm closing my eyes to recuperate, or if I'm meditating on Buddhist scriptures.

There are four chairs under the ground, all of which are built with silver and red flower-sprinkled chairs, and there are four pairs of foot pedals underneath, which can be seen to be temporarily moved out for the high-ranking concubines to sit on. Concubine Shun, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Xian are sitting on it. Seeing Empress Guo come in with a group of concubines, the three concubines immediately got up and saluted the queen. Then the low-ranking concubines saluted the emperor and the third concubine, and for a while, the Lingxiao Hall seemed unusually noisy.

Zhu Xian opened his eyes suddenly, and said impatiently: "Concubine Li has just been diagnosed as pregnant, how can she withstand your such noise." Except for the queen and the four concubines, the rest of the concubines retreated to the outer hall. ”

These low-ranking concubines braved the heavy snow, but they didn't expect to be ruthlessly expelled by the emperor before they even stood on their feet. No one dared to neglect the emperor's will, so this large group of flowery women retreated outside the hall again. As for whether someone secretly crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, or wrinkled the Jinpa in his hand, no one cared.

Concubine Shu didn't dare to say more, so she walked to the remaining chair and sat down. Empress Guo smiled slightly when she saw this, she took Jing'er's hand and sat down beside the emperor, and then asked, "How is Concubine Li?" ”

Zhu Xian glanced at the inner hall through the pearl curtain and said, "The envoy of the Zhong Yuan is opening a prescription. ”

Empress Guo asked curiously: "Why do you want to prescribe a prescription, is there something wrong with the fetus." ”

Zhu Xian smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing wrong with the fetus, it's just that Concubine Li sprained her foot before, and now it is very red and swollen." But those drugs that break blood and dispel blood stasis can't be used, so the envoy of the Zhong Yuan is considering it and prescribing another prescription for external application. ”

"I see." Empress Guo couldn't help but set her eyes on the inner hall full of people. I saw that there were several palace maids around the nine-son serial stepping bed, and on the side of the bookcase, the Zhong Yuan envoy stroked the three strands of hair on his chin with one hand, and held a wolf pen in the other, quickly writing something on the peach blossom rice paper in front of him.

Empress Guo couldn't help but smile and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, concubine, speaking of which, there has been no newborn child in the palace for a long time, and this baby of the concubine is really timely." ”

Concubine Shun, who had a long face at the bottom, also quipped: "That's the emperor, the queen is blessed with a dragon fetus." ”

When Empress Guo heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. It is naturally the emperor's favor that Concubine Li can conceive a dragon fetus, but what does it matter to her, the queen? It wasn't she who made Concubine Li pregnant. This sycophant is really too substandard.

Concubine Shu secretly pursed her lips, but with a smile as moving as a flower on her face, she said: "Concubine Li is a blessed person, since she entered the palace, she has been deeply favored by the emperor, and now she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, which can really be said to be a blessing and a blessing." Presumably, he will add a prince to the emperor. She was satisfied to see the queen sitting at the top, and the smile on her face faded a lot.

Who wouldn't say good things, in this harem, there are more pregnant concubines, but there are not many who can really give birth safely. When she was pregnant with the second prince Zhu Houtai, she fortunately brought a medical girl from her mother's family and helped her hide it in every possible way, until she was four months old and the fetus was firmly seated, and she dared to publicize it.

This noble concubine looks smart, how could she make such a big mistake. This dragon fetus has just been conceived, so I dare to make such a big announcement, and there are still nine months to come. If you want to give birth to a dragon child safely in this deep palace, it really depends on her creation.

Empress Guo glanced at Concubine Shu lightly and said, "Concubine Li is naturally a blessed one. "This lady looks respectful, but she loves to do things that sow discord the most. If you want to use a few words, you can provoke your anger against your concubine, and you also have to see if you are worthy of harmony.

"It's a great joy that your concubine is pregnant." Zhu Xian ignored the words of these concubines, and just instructed Queen Guo: "I will hand her and the child in her belly to you." ”

Queen Guo's heart sank, she knew that Zhu Xian took this fetus very seriously, this was a hot yam. She pondered for a moment before she said slowly: "Since it is the envoy of the Zhongyuan who diagnosed the happy pulse of the noble concubine today, why don't you ask the emperor to hand over this fetus to him to be responsible, what does the emperor think?" ”

Zhu Xian knew that the envoy of the Zhong Yuan was an idiot who only cared about studying medical skills, whether it was the harem or the previous dynasty, there was not a trace of involvement, and Zhu Xian was quite satisfied with handing over the concubine Li and the dragon fetus to him. So he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Empress Guo continued: "Three days later, it was the family banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and since Concubine Li sprained her foot, she asked the emperor to order the concubine not to participate. Just give a table separately and invite Mrs. Mei to accompany the concubine Li in this Lingxiao Palace, what do you think? ”

Zhu Xian was even more satisfied, not only were there many people at the family banquet, but the food was inevitably complicated, if he accidentally ate the wrong thing, it would be troublesome. Of course, it is to let Li Guifei's maiden mother accompany her for the festival alone, which is even more worry-free. The two wills of Empress Guo were really quite sacred, and Zhu Xian's eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Empress Guo.

The envoy of the Zhongyuan opened the prescription, lifted the pearl curtain, knelt down in front of Zhu Xian, and said: "Wei Chen saw that Li Gui Concubine was pregnant, and this decoction that broke blood and dissolved blood stasis could not be drunk, but Wei Chen prescribed a few pairs of decoction to reduce swelling and stasis, and soaked Li Gui Concubine's feet. After twelve hours, let the doctor girl massage the safflower medicine wine every two hours. Weichen estimated that after more than half a month, Concubine Li's ankle would basically heal. ”

"What happened to the dragon fetus in the womb of Concubine Li?" Empress Guo asked aloud.

The envoy of the Zhong Yuan said with confidence: "Although Concubine Li is a little weak, she is young in the end, and she has never given birth, and the dragon fetus in her womb is very stable. ”

"That's good." Empress Guo smiled slightly and said, "The palace and the emperor discussed just now, and Concubine Li and her dragon fetus will be handed over to you to take care of." ”

The envoy of the Zhong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground and said: "Yes, Weichen will definitely live up to the high expectations of the emperor and the queen, and will take good care of the concubine Li and the dragon fetus." ”

"Alright, alright, let's go grab the medicine!" Zhu Xian waved his hand. The envoy of the Zhong Yuan immediately stood up, put the medicine box on his back, and went back to the Tai Hospital to grab the medicine.

Zhu Xian "soared", got off the big kang, and strode towards the inner hall. Empress Guo immediately stood up tremblingly with Jing'er's hand, and followed closely to the inner hall.

Originally, Concubine Shu, Concubine Shun, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Xian, who were still sitting at the bottom, didn't dare to sit still. They stood up and just wanted to follow Empress Guo into the inner hall. I heard Zhu Xian throw a sentence from afar: "Go down, Concubine Li is pregnant at the beginning and needs to recuperate." Except for the queen, the rest of the palace concubines are not allowed to disturb. ”

At the same time, the fourth concubine felt a pang in her heart, and her footsteps stopped. Empress Guo secretly sighed, looked back and said to the fourth concubine: "You guys go down first!" ”

"Yes." Seeing that Zhu Xian didn't reply, the fourth concubine had already walked straight to the bed of the nine sons, lowered her head diligently, and whispered to the concubine Li who was sleeping with the quilt. Their eyes darkened, and after curtsiding, they withdrew from the dormitory
