Yu Shu came to the Wangji Building, and asked Xin Lishan what he was doing as usual.

"Mr. Xin has been in the Dan furnace room for a day, does the girl want to go over and take a look?"

Xin Lishan promised to make Daigo incense for Yu Shu, because the cumbersome refining process could not be faked by others, all the spices and medicinal materials were bought as semi-finished products, Yu Shu simply asked people to clean up an empty house in the corner of the first floor of the backyard, and added a set of utensils according to Xin Lishan's requirements, and since then he has been soaked in it for most of the month, and he has not seen others when he comes back.

Yu Shu waved his hand and went upstairs.

The private room on the second floor was equipped with her dresses, shoes and socks for the season, she changed her official robe, washed her face, and lay on her back on a couch in the middle of the hall to ward off evil spirits, and asked Xiaoqing to soak a pot of spring frozen marrow.

This is only a treasure that only has a forgotten machine building, the tea has a cold fragrance but is not greasy, the liquid green is like a wine pulp, the aftertaste is faintly sweet, the same as wine tasting.

In the past two days, she has started to deal with the marriage books piled up by Kun Ling Bureau, in order to find out whose girl and whose husband, every day just to study the in-laws of the big families in Anling City, she is dizzy.

"The girl is tired, it is better to take a nap, and the slave will wake you up again at dinner." Fluttershy squatted over there and pinched Yu Shu's legs, and when she saw that Yu Shu had her eyes half-closed, she opened her eyes from time to time, and she looked like she was going to sleep and was lazy to sleep.

Yu Shu thought that Xue Rui was going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it would be evening at the earliest, so he said "um", closed his eyes, Xiaoqing hurriedly went into the house and pinched a soft quilt, and came out to cover her.

***

Xue Rui changed his clothes and hurriedly entered the study, only to find that Xue Lingnan was not the only one waiting for him, Liu Tan was sitting at the coffee table by the window, looking up and smiling at him.

Xue Rui stood in front of the door for a while, raised his hand to salute, and was about to greet him, when he heard him say: "Cousin is back, come in, your own home, no need to be polite." ”

"I don't know if the prince is driving, I am not welcome," Xue Rui said with a smile, glimpsing that the teacup in front of Liu Tan was no longer smoking, obviously he had been here for a long time, and the porter did not answer him, it seemed that the person came in quietly through the side door.

After being canonized as a prince, Liu Tan, as a prince who opened a mansion, could not visit other people's mansions in person at will, even if it was his grandfather's house, he couldn't come as soon as he said it, this was a matter of posture.

"Sit down and talk," Xue Lingnan pointed to the chair opposite Liu Tan for Xue Rui to sit down, and said to him: "You didn't go home yesterday, and today there is good news from the palace that the concubine is pregnant." ”

Xue Rui heard it from Yu Shu's mouth first, and he didn't feel surprised at this time, but just said happily: "It's really a great joy." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the side of his seat, Liu Tan curled the corners of his mouth, and he always had a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Lord Wang." Xue Rui congratulated him.

Xue Guifei's middle-aged pregnancy is a great joy for the entire Xue family, and it is even more beneficial to Liu Tan, no matter whether this baby is born male or female, Xue Guifei's status in the harem will become more and more stable, and now the son is more expensive than the mother.

The queen of the middle palace has no children under her knees, Concubine De died early, Concubine Shu has no favor, Concubine Xian was surrendered, no matter how beautiful Xue Guifei was in her early years, in the eyes of outsiders, she is no longer more delicate and favored than the young palace ladies, who knows that more than ten years have passed, and she is pregnant with a child at this time, which is really unexpected.

It was great news for the Xue family and the Nine Emperor Princes, but it was bad news for others.

Xue Lingnan continued: "In the morning, your second aunt went into the palace to visit Niangniang, and I heard Niangniang say that this pregnancy was diagnosed yesterday, and the emperor did not mention it this morning, it seems that he waited until the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to announce this good news. ”

"Why does grandfather sigh?" Xue Rui asked knowingly.

Xue Lingnan just shook his head, and Liu Tan answered: "That's the case, I heard the rumors of leakage in the palace, the mother concubine encountered the queen's trouble in the imperial garden yesterday, fainted, alarmed the father, and then diagnosed that she was pregnant, so the emperor disposed of a slave in the queen's palace, and ruthlessly lost the face of the middle palace, and punished a few nobles, making people hold grudges, I don't know when to cause trouble again, and now the mother concubine is unstable, I am afraid that someone will plot." ”

Xue Rui heard that he was worried, but he didn't think so, thinking that the concubine really fainted in front of the queen, then eighty percent was intentional, with his aunt's scheming, if he couldn't keep the baby in his womb, he was afraid that he wouldn't act rashly.

But he didn't carry Liu Tan behind his back, but followed his words and said: "What the prince is worried about is reasonable, but the mother is in the palace, and I don't feel at ease, but there is nothing to do." ”

Liu Tan made a special trip, how could it be enough to just make a few complaints, and say it so clearly in front of his grandfather, it was nothing more than an idea to ask him to help.

"How can you call it useless, cousin, have you forgotten the girl in the lotus room? She is now in charge of the Kunling Bureau, and she is involved in the harem, why not ask her to be the master of the concubine, and take care of it, so that my grandfather and I can rest assured. ”

Sure enough, Liu Tan hit Yu Shu with the idea, and Xue Rui didn't have to ask carefully, he could think of what he was planning.

Originally, Liu Tan called the king of respect, and privately recruited Yu Shu as a female official of five grades, although it was not easy, but it was not difficult, but Yu Shu was in the limelight at the land and water conference, and won the favor of Emperor Zhaoqing.

With such a genius who can't be used for his own use, how can Liu Tan be willing, he turned around, and had to start from Xue Rui's side. (To be continued......)
