Chapter 7: Peace
Listen to Kaede at night'Huh? He looked at the dark night around him and asked, "Did Bengong speak, didn't Liu Zhaorong hear it wrong?" ”
Liu Zhaorong gritted his teeth, and after saying to Ye Tingfeng, 'The concubine retires', he took the palace maid's hand and left quickly.
Ye listened to Kaede chuckled, and there was contempt in his eyes.
Cai Xiang touched the night maple, pointed to the sky without a star, and said, "Princess, hurry up, I'm afraid it will rain in a while." ”
Ye Ting Feng hummed softly and called, "Yao Yuan." ”
Yao Yuan, who was carrying the palace lamp, said yes.
"Xiao Guzi went to invite the prince, why hasn't he been invited for two hours?"
When she received the news that Zhen Niangzi was going to give birth, she sent Xiaoguzi out, and now the second princess of Zhen Niangzi has been born safely, and Emperor Jianning still did not come.
Even if Zhen Niangzi is just a small and five-grade lady, she gave birth to a royal heir after all.
"Back to the master's words." Yao Yuan replied respectfully, "After Xiao Gu came out of Fengyang Palace, he went directly to Jianzhang Palace, and after hearing that the emperor was not in Jianzhang Palace and went to Hualiang Palace, Xiao Guzi went to Lin Lanyuan of Mrs. Yu again. When I arrived at Lin Lanyuan, I heard again that the emperor had gone to Guanju Palace. Xiao Guzi asked the little palace maid in Guan Ju Palace to deliver a message to the emperor, and finally the balsam in front of the queen mother came out, saying that the queen mother was unwell, and the emperor was talking to the queen mother, and did not let Xiao Guzi see ......"
Ye Tingfeng didn't ask anymore.
Yao Yuan handed the palace lamp that emitted orange light in his hand to Ye Tingfeng's feet, and said, "Master, be careful of your steps. ”
In the Feilin Palace, Wen Chongyuan, who was terrified, had already ordered someone to invite Imperial Doctor Qian overnight.
When Imperial Doctor Qian carefully diagnosed her pulse, Wen Chongyuan sent all the palace people out and said bluntly to Imperial Doctor Qian, "Imperial Doctor Qian, the imperial heir in the belly of this palace, is it a princess or a prince." ”
Seeing that Imperial Doctor Qian's plain face did not have a trace of expression, but just raised his eyebrows and glanced at himself, Wen Chongyuan pushed the five hundred taels of silver tickets prepared in advance in front of Imperial Doctor Qian, and took off two bracelets of high quality, one white and one green, from Hao's wrist.
"This palace wants to listen to the truth," Wen Chongyuan looked at Imperial Doctor Qian with a cold face, "Imperial Doctor Qian has taken care of the heart of this palace, and when he comes to the Japanese Palace, he will have a bright future for Imperial Doctor Qian." ”
Imperial Doctor Qian looked at the silver ticket and jade bracelet and smiled, and said, "Weichen, you must serve Wen Chongyuan." ”“
On October 19 of the third year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning decreed that the second princess gave the name of Yan Shan and entered the royal jade plate.
And Zhen Niangzi, who gave birth to the second princess, did not receive any reward.
On October 20 of the third year of Jianning, Queen Qin's reward came down, and a small drum inlaid with gold and jade, and two brocade forging horses, all of which were awarded to the second princess.
I didn't appreciate the lady at all.
With Empress Qin's appearance, Madame Yu, Ye Tingfeng, Wen Zhaoyi, and their concubines, they would not appreciate anything from Zhen Niangzi.
They all picked up some non-eye-catching ones and gave them to the second princess to express their gratitude.
It has become a fact that Jane fell out of favor after giving birth to the second princess.
Everyone sighed, who made Jane Niangzi make a fuss many times when she was first pregnant, and there was such an unresponsive mother's family outside.
I can't complain that the emperor and the empress don't want to see her.
Zhen Niangzi gave birth to the second princess prematurely, so that the pregnant Le Chongrong and Yun Ronghua looked at Wen Chongyuan, who was pregnant with Liujia.
If Wen Chongyuan gave birth to a prince, then it doesn't matter what they give birth to, if Wen Chongyuan gives birth to another princess, then ......
And Wen Chongyuan didn't seem to care about whether the dragon heir in his womb was male or female, without a trace of nervousness.
Eat and drink every day, the bitter fetal pills, swallowed bowl after bowl, and the face showed the expectation of the upcoming child.
Wen Chongyuan is like this for two days a day, and others still think that Wen Chongyuan has not thought deeply about the powerful relationship. But for half a month, he was so calm, and he couldn't help but make some people smell something else.
When Wen Chongyuan was pregnant with the eldest princess for the first time, she was a master who tossed a lot. At present, Wen Chongyuan can be so frank, and the only thing that can be said is that Wen Chongyuan has determined that the dragon heir in his womb is a princess.
So, Le Chongrong and Yun Ronghua panicked.
The difference between the two of them is less than 20 days of pregnancy, and the difference between the days of childbirth is no more than a few days.
Wait until the other party gives birth to the child before making conclusions, it is too late.
On October 23 of the third year of Jianning, Empress Qin made a decree in her pregnancy and allocated it to Wen Chongyuan, Le Chongrong, and Yun Ronghua respectively.
The first is to prevent the three concubines from being cruel to the child in their womb, and the second is to prevent the person who did the means to make her conceive to do something to the three concubines.
After Empress Qin became pregnant, she replaced most of the minions in the Guan Ju Palace, and she was afraid that someone would attack her.
But since Zhen gave birth to a princess, Queen Qin woke up violently.
If the remaining three concubines can't give birth to a prince safely, then the child in her womb is likely to kill her.
In order to ensure that there are no accidents, she can only protect all three of them, just in case.
In the blink of an eye, the day came to November of the third year of Jianning, and after one winter rain after another, the weather became colder. Although the bushes in the imperial garden still have green leaves, the occasional cold wind makes people shiver.
Night listening to the maple is the most afraid of the cold, since the first winter rain fell, the night listening maple ordered to pick incense every day to warm a hand stove for her to hold.
But even so, she still felt cold, and her hands and feet were cold.
On the fifth day of November in the third year of Jianning, winter rain fell again above the imperial city. The winter rain fell, smashing between the roof tiles of the temple, and the rustling sound seemed to be a little colder than in the summer.
I heard that Feng got up early in the morning, and after freshening up, he got back into the bed, and refused to go out again even if he picked incense and asked Qingqing, and he didn't even need breakfast.
She held the hand stove and wore a heavy brocade quilt, and she covered herself tightly, leaving only a slightly white little face outside, even covering her ears.
Cai Xiang sat on the pedal, holding the embroidery of the flower stretch flying needle and thread, and said to Ye Ting Feng with disdain, "Princess, is it so cold?" The hand of the slave can also pinch the needle and embroider the tweed. ”
"How can this princess be compared to you?" Ye listened to Kaede snort twice.
Cai Xiang snorted twice to Ye Tingfeng and said, "Princess, if you come out and wear two more clothes, it will be warmer than nesting in the quilt if you walk around twice." ”
Ye Tingfeng inhaled the wet air in front of his nose and shook his head again and again.
"Master, drink some hot soup." Wen Qing came in with a bowl of steaming ginseng chicken soup, and while scooping it with a spoon, she said, "After drinking the soup, it will be warm......
Ye Tingfeng nodded, and then asked the spoon handed over by Qingqing, and drank the hot soup spoonful by spoonful.
There was a layer of sweat on his body, and he listened to the warmth on Feng's body at night, and he didn't want to get up.
In the end, she was finally unable to resist the double attack of Wen Qing and Cai Xiang, and reluctantly got up.
After wearing a thick mink jacket inlaid with pearls on the outside of the palace costume, Ye Tingfeng came to the beauty couch in the inner hall and sat down.
At this time, the beauty couch has been covered with a thick bear skin, and it is warm to sit on. There is also a red charcoal basin lit in front of the beauty's couch, and you can feel the burning breath as soon as you stretch out your hand.
Seeing that Ye Tingfeng had a smile on his face, Cai Xiang smiled and said, "Princess, is it much warmer than in the quilt." ”
Ye listened to Feng did not return to the words of the incense, but raised his eyes to see the flower bandage in the hand of the incense.
On the flowers, a few plum blossoms with red stamens were embroidered on a low piece of tender green cloth.
Ye heard that Feng saw that the flower was beautifully embroidered, and stretched out his jade hand to take it.
Cai Xiang dodged, dodged, and raised his eyebrows at Ye Tingfeng and said, "Princess, if you want to embroider, embroider it again." This is a ...... for the second princess."
"Stingy." Ye Tingfeng took the tea cup handed over by Wen Qing, took a sip and said to Cai Xiang, "It's like I have to embroider." ”
Cai Xiang shook his head, turned around and stopped talking.
Wen Qing chuckled, looked out of the drizzly window and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Princess, Yao Yuan is back." ”
"Why don't you have an umbrella?" Ye Tingfeng turned around and saw Yao Yuan walking towards the Fengyang Hall step by step with his shoulders bent.
Yao Yuan always walked step by step, no matter how anxious he was, he also kept his pace steady, and he never saw him running in a panic.
In the blink of an eye, Yao Yuan had already walked in from outside. Knowing that Ye Tingfeng was afraid of the cold, Yao Yuan stood on the other side of the charcoal basin and asked Ye Tingfeng to say goodbye.
"Roast before you speak." Ye Tingfeng looked at Yao Yuan's clothes that were soaked in the winter rain, and said, "Why didn't you have an umbrella?" ”
"Negligent." Yao Yuan smiled, and didn't hear Feng say to the night that he gave the umbrella to Xiao Guzi. After rubbing his hands a few times, Yao Yuan whispered to Ye Tingfeng, "Master, Le Chongrong is red again." ”
Since Mrs. Zhen gave birth to the second princess, Le Chongrong has been red for the third time, and now, it is the fourth time.
"How's it going? What did the Imperial Doctor say? Ye Tingfeng looked up and asked.
"Mrs. Yu has already gone to Le Chongrong, what is the matter, Xiao Guzi is still exploring outside." Yao Yuan withdrew the hand that was placed on the top of the charcoal basin, and said, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry again......
Since Empress Qin arranged a grandmother in the palace of three pregnant concubines, only Le Chongrong has had accidents again and again. Originally, Empress Qin suspected that it was Mrs. Yu's hands and feet in the Guanju Palace that made her pregnant, so she was even more disgusted with Mrs. Yu.
She thinks that in addition to Le Chongrong's audacity, there is also Mrs. Yu's secret operation.
"Le Chongrong, it's too obvious." Ye Tingfeng took another sip of tea, and sighed lightly, "Before Zhen Niangzi gave birth to the second princess, she was well pregnant, and now she has a lot of trouble......"
"It's still good to Dashun," Cai Xiang sighed to Ye Tingfeng in Dashun words, "It's not like here, ...... frightened."
Yao Yuan was standing facing the window, and when he looked up, he saw a touch of bright yellow approaching, interrupting the words of picking incense, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Master, the emperor is here......"
Yao Yuan's words fell, and Lu Shi's singing was already sounding outside.
Cai Xiang pursed her lips, put the flower bandage on the table on the side, and said, "The slave goes out to make tea." ”
"The minions are gone." Yao Yuan turned around and went out.
Wen Qing raised her eyebrows, and casually found an excuse and went out.
Not long after Wen Qing went out, Emperor Jianning strode in from the outside, with a slight dampness on his body.
He walked to Ye Tingfeng's side and sat down, reached out to take the tea cup in Ye Tingfeng's hand, drank two sips of warm tea, and quenched his thirst.
The chill on Emperor Jianning's body made Ye Tingfeng shiver, and she couldn't help complaining, "It's so cold." ”
Emperor Jianning smiled and said, "You are so hot and cold here?" ”
"You're cold." Ye Tingfeng stretched out his white and tender fingers, pointed to the placket of Emperor Jianning's chest, and said, "There are still raindrops." ”
Emperor Jianning stood up, took off his coat and put it to the side, and said, "It's not cold this time." ”
Cai Xiang came in from outside, put down the tea cup and hurried out, even An was not invited.
Ye Tingfeng handed the hand stove in his arms to Emperor Jianning, and Ying Ying smiled, "Take this Nuan." ”
Emperor Jianning shook his head, took Ye Tingfeng into his arms, and then leaned on the beauty couch and exhaled a long breath.
Raising his eyes to see the flowers, he reached out and took it into his hand to take a closer look.
"Pick incense and embroider, give it to the second princess." Ye Tingfeng smiled, "The second princess has grown up a lot in recent days, white and tender, and very pleasing. ”
"Like the second princess?" Emperor Jianning put the flower bandage back on the table and asked Ye Tingfeng.
Ye heard that Feng didn't reply, and found a comfortable position in Emperor Jianning's arms and lay down.
"If you like ......," Emperor Jianning stretched out his hand to touch the maple ink-colored green silk at night, and said, "I will let them carry the second princess to Fengyang Palace." Jane's current condition is not suitable for raising the imperial heir......"
Zhou Chong has been beheaded, the men of the Zhou family are slaves, the women are prostitutes, and the identity of Zhen Niangzi is unbearable.
Ye Tingfeng got up, looked at Emperor Jianning's little face, and said, "No, the biological mother of the second princess is Zhen Niangzi, and the second princess should grow up by Zhen Niangzi's side." As for identity, isn't the biological mother of the second princess noble enough? ”
"Okay, don't take it away." Emperor Jianning patted Ye Tingfeng's back and soothed, "I thought you liked ......"
"I like to go to the Tongxin Hall to see it, and I don't have to take it to the Fengyang Palace." Ye Tingfeng lay down on Emperor Jianning's side again, played with the pink forging belt in his hand, and muttered in a low voice, "It's not like I can't give birth to ...... myself."
Emperor Jianning's ears moved, and he asked, "Feng'er, what did you say?" ”
"Huh?" Ye Tingfeng raised his head and pretended to be stupid, "I didn't say anything?" ”
Emperor Jianning chuckled, took Ye Tingfeng into his arms, and sighed lightly, "It's the New Year, and next year will ......."
Ye Tingfeng's heart tightened, and Bei Yan bit his red lips.
It's getting closer and closer to that day.
Ye Ting Feng didn't want to talk about this topic, so he changed the conversation and asked, "Wan Yan Zhe, Le Chongrong is red, don't you need to go and see it?" ”“
Ye Tingfeng's question, Emperor Jianning didn't answer, he hugged Ye Tingfeng tightly, buried his face in Ye Tingfeng's chest, locked his eyebrows, and sighed.
Ye Tingfeng raised his white little hand, lightly touched the long hair that was entangled with himself on Emperor Jianning's head, and didn't ask anymore.
Emperor Jianning did not leave in the Fengyang Palace, until the night, the news finally came from the Hualiang Palace, and the dragon heir in Le Chongrong's belly was saved.
The pregnant Queen Qin personally went to the Feixue Palace to preside over the overall situation, and gave a death order to the imperial doctor who had been taking care of Le Chongrong's pregnant body.
Along with this edict, there was also the disposition of Lady Jade.
Grounded for a month to set an example!
After Yao Yuan retreated, Emperor Jianning said to Ye Tingfeng while feeding Ye Tingfeng tea, "It's not over yet, I have a hunch that it will be even more lively than it is now in the future." ”
Ye Tingfeng had a faint fragrance of tea in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say when he saw Emperor Jianning's unhappy and angry face.
Emperor Jianning was the emperor, but no woman was willing to give birth to an heir for him.
If he could suppress it with the power of the emperor, it would be fine, but in the current situation, the more he pressured, the more he got back.
Listening to the old Feng reiterate the matter at night, he said to Emperor Jianning, "Wan Yan Zhe, now that the queen is pregnant with a dragon heir, the Xie family should be able to agree to depose the ancestral system." In case of any event, maybe the queen gave birth to a prince......"
Emperor Jianning smiled, took the plain white handkerchief and wiped the corners of Ye Tingfeng's lips, raised his eyebrows and replied, "Do you think that among the prince and the queen, which one does the Xie family care about?" ”
Ye Tingfeng licked his lips lightly and did not speak.
With the current power of the Xie family, the queen is dead and can be re-established. At that time, this prince, who has the blood of the Xie family, will still be raised under the knees of the queen of the Xie family.
At that time, they supported the crown prince as emperor, and the reasons were even more sufficient.
"Although I will not set up another woman who has a relationship with the Xie family as the queen." Emperor Jianning put down the empty teacup and said indifferently, "But the Xie family will still guard the ancestral system, because Xie Yuanxing wants to be a loyal minister!" Moreover, the Liu family will not agree, otherwise, where will Mrs. Yu stand. ”
"Your harem is really troublesome." Ye Tingfeng threw his head into Emperor Jianning's arms and muttered, "It's clear that a will can solve the matter, but it has to cause so many twists and turns." ”
Emperor Jianning didn't answer Ye Tingfeng's words, but lowered his head and said, "Don't drink anymore?" ”
Ye Tingfeng nodded lightly and rubbed the cloud bun on Emperor Jianning's chest.
Madame Jade was grounded, and all the chores in the harem fell on Ye Tingfeng.
Because there are less than two months before the New Year, the affairs of the harem are becoming more and more hectic.
Ye Tingfeng not only has to take care of his own Yijing Palace, but also looks at Madame Yu's painting Liang Palace. Fortunately, although Yaohua Palace does not have a main mother, Wen Zhaoyi can pick up the size of the first palace.
In addition to these, Ye Tingfeng also has to learn to arrange the New Year's procurement, more than a dozen palace banquets of all sizes throughout the month, the dressing of the palace concubines at the end of the year, the rewards of the palace people, and so on......
In the past, there were places that Mrs. Yu didn't understand, and she could still instruct Ye Tingfeng to one or two, but now, she has to rely on Ye Tingfeng to explore by herself.
In order to be able to do things well, Ye Tingfeng ran diligently to the Guan Ju Palace against the cold wind.
When Empress Qin was able to cheer up, she sat in the outer hall of Guan Ju Palace, and told Empress Qin everything she couldn't figure out and couldn't understand.
Empress Qin is not in good health during pregnancy, and she can't take care of the harem affairs by herself, knowing that if she doesn't train one or two, she will lose the face of the royal family in the end, so her guidance is also meticulous.
In this way, by the end of November, Ye Tingfeng had already arranged several palace banquets on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first month.
On the afternoon of November 26 in the third year of Jianning, the sky that had been gloomy for half a month was sunny. After listening to Feng taking a nap at night, he saw that the weather was good, so he sorted out his makeup, took Yao Yuan, and went to Guanju Palace with a few pamphlets.
At this time, the dragon heir in Empress Qin's womb was already four months old, and her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.
When others are pregnant, the symptoms of joy will be somewhat alleviated at the age of four months, but Queen Qin is still very powerful.
If it weren't for the two imperial doctors, Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Zhao, who were on call day and night, I was afraid that Empress Qin's body would not be able to hold on.
When Ye Tingfeng entered the inner hall with the balsam, Empress Qin was crooked on the low couch covered with dog and bear skins, her face was sallow, her cheekbones were bulging, and there were heavy dark circles under her eyes. His hair was not tied up, he was casually draped behind his head, and he was wearing a lilac palace dress and a pure white fox leather jacket outside.
In front of the low couch is a red charcoal basin, and next to the charcoal basin, there is a large white enamel bowl with water.
