Ren Daiying went to the queen's bedroom, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, it is early autumn, there are many things to prepare, the birthday of the emperor is also coming, and I have to think about whether to prepare for the birthday of the emperor.

Last year was the 50th birthday of the emperor, and the envoys of various countries came to celebrate, but this year the country is not there, and the situation is a little deserted.

Mama Su told Concubine Shu to ask to see her, Wen Zhen frowned slightly, what is Ren Daiying doing at this time? She's not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Let her in!"

Ren Daiying was holding a small flower basket in her hand, which was full of golden osmanthus flowers that had just been picked in the yard.

Ren Daiying bowed slightly, "Concubine Shu has seen the queen's mother." ”

"Get up!"

Wen Zhen's eyes kept looking at the basket in her hand, "No wonder I smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, Concubine Shu went to pick osmanthus." ”

Ren Daiying smiled skillfully: "Exactly, osmanthus has the effect of concentrating and awakening the mind, and these petals are also excellent for tea when they are dried." ”

Wen Zhen didn't believe that Ren Daiying came here to send a basket of osmanthus flowers, "Concubine Shu has a heart, Mama Su collected the petals and took some osmanthus cakes, eating osmanthus cakes at such times is the most appropriate." ”

Mama Su brought a plate of osmanthus cake and put it in front of Ren Daiying, "Concubine Shu, try it!" ”

Ren Daiying was not polite, took a small bite of the food, and praised: "The aroma is rich and the taste is sweet, and it melts in your mouth." ”

Wen Zhen said: "Eat more if it's delicious." ”

Ren Daiying was thinking about how to speak, "It would be nice if Sister Yu'er was here, she likes to eat osmanthus cake the most, and she likes to make it, she just folded osmanthus flowers in the yard together, and she also saw Concubine Xian, the maid next to her has changed, and it is two women in strange clothes who accompany her to chat in the imperial garden." The sisters didn't come forward to salute, who knows if the slave next to Concubine Xian Niangniang will be a person who kills people without blinking. ”

After speaking, he took another piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, as if he said it casually.

Wen Zhen frowned, Concubine Xian was in the imperial garden, it seemed that her body was already well, and Ren Daiying came to tell Concubine Xian.

"Concubine Xian's sister is a great achievement for the emperor to conceive an heir, this palace visited a few days ago, and the emperor issued an order that no one is allowed to go. Now it seems that this palace should congratulate Concubine Xian on her health. ”

"It is said that the queen is virtuous, tolerant of people, true and true, the concubine loves to make a small character, before entering the palace is what parents are most worried about, and it is time to learn from the queen, it is really taught."

Since the queen mother knew that Concubine Xian's body was already healed, her purpose was achieved, "The queen mother is busy with official business, and the concubine body will leave." ”

"Sister, since the osmanthus cake is delicious, I will take it back and give it to the sisters often, this is the handiwork of the mother, and I specially ordered someone from outside the palace to bring it."

Ren Daiying looked flattered, "Concubine Xie Niangniang's reward." ”

When Mama Su saw Ren Daiying leaving, her face was disdainful, "Niangniang, this is a dog that can only bite people." ”

Wen Zhen snorted lightly, "Don't worry, this palace will cook her before she opens her mouth." ”

"Go get ready! The palace is going to see the emperor. ”

Some time ago, the drought and heat in the north were unbearable, but the south was raining heavily, Liaocheng was affected, the imperial court allocated disaster relief funds, and ordered Jiangnan to urgently dispatch food, so that the disaster could be alleviated.

Thanks to the forces left in Jiangnan, it would be difficult to expand the army with an empty treasury.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

How could the queen think of coming to the imperial study today, there must be something, and before Xuanyuan could speak, the door had been gently pushed open.

"The concubine has seen the emperor. It's an old husband and wife, so there is no need to pass it on. ”

"The queen has something important, and there are a lot of cases to deal with."

"It's better for the concubines to stay and help the emperor study ink and help the emperor."

Xuanyuan hooked the corners of his lips coldly, he wanted to intervene in the government so soon.

directly refused: "No, it's all about the court, and it's different from the harem." ”

Wen Zhen saw that Xuanyuan was driving her away very vaguely, and he was a little jealous in his heart, since he came, he must have thought of a good rhetoric.

"Soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the birthday of the Emperor, last year's birthday of the Emperor came to congratulate the countries, if you don't hold a birthday banquet this year, it will inevitably make people say that the emperor is not filial."

If it weren't for Wen Zhen's reminder, Xuanyuan would have forgotten that his father's birthday would be approaching, and he and Mu Bangshang had known each other for a whole year.

"Naturally, my father's birthday will be done, but my father has been living in seclusion in the Cheng'en Palace and refuses to come out, I have some misunderstandings with my father, and I am afraid that it is a little difficult to invite my father.

Wen Zhen said with a smile: "This matter, it is better to hand it over to Sister Xian, my father seems to treat Sister Xian differently, I heard that Sister Xianfei is already well, and she was still walking in the imperial garden just now." ”

What the? Without my orders, she went for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Wen Zhen frowned when he saw Xuanyuan, "Since Concubine Xian's sister is in good health, she can participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, and the emperor doesn't have to stay in Fengyi Palace, all the sisters are looking forward to the emperor!" The emperor should not be too favoritistic.

"I've been too busy with official business lately, and staying there is just a review and a review. After a while, when the days are not busy, it is natural to go. As for her father's birthday, the queen will do it! Please tell my father about the emperor's affairs with Concubine Xian. ”

Wen Zhen has already said what he should say, and if he stays, he is afraid that he will be disgusted, "The concubine has retired." ”

Concubine Xian went to the Imperial Garden, Scarlet Yi is not a rash person, and she must have nothing to do with Yanjiu.

On the other side, Mu Bangshang, Scarlet Yi and others were chatting, and they heard the coquettish laughter of the woman in the distance, and gradually got closer.

"Concubine Hui Zhong Yu has seen Concubine Xian."

"Concubine Fang Minjun has seen Concubine Xian."

Mu Bangshang looked the two women up and down, one dressed in plain clothes, not outstanding in appearance, but with a refined temperament. She behaves elegantly and is a well-informed woman. The other is delicate, with the fresh breath of youth.

"The two sisters don't have to be polite. In your basket are osmanthus flowers. ”

Zhong Yu said: "Exactly, I like to eat osmanthus cake since I was a child, so I simply make it myself." "The concubines above the third rank in the palace have their own kitchens.

"My sister is really skillful."

Mu Bangshang said to the scarlet clothes: "Looking at the golden osmanthus flowers, I remembered the osmanthus cake made by my mother, let the imperial dining room send some over at night!" ”

The emperor has no appetite for all kinds of delicacies every day, this is the first time Mu Bangshang wants to eat something since he was happy, but he didn't expect to go out for a walk, and he also has an appetite.

Scarlet Yi said happily: "Okay, what else does Niangniang want to eat." ”

"Sour plum soup!"

Fang Minjun said: "Niangniang likes to eat sour, and she must be a prince." ”

After dinner, Xuanyuan dealt with the mountain of official business, and before dinner, he came directly to Fengyi Palace, and saw Mu Bangshang sleeping peacefully.

"Scarlet clothes, how did you take care of Concubine Xian, how can you take her to the imperial garden."

"Your Majesty, it was Yan Jiu who took Niangniang to go, Niangniang is a person who can't be locked in the room every day, even if she is not sick, she will be sick."

Scarlet clothes said again: "Niangniang went out for a walk today and felt much better, knowing that she wanted to eat osmanthus cake and sour plum soup, and drank two bowls." ”

"Sour plum soup?" She didn't like the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so she vomited when she ate it, and she drank two bowls of cheap sour plum soup. The taste of this pregnant woman is really weird.

"I think Niangniang's birth must be a prince." Yan Jiu's words spoke to Xuanyuan's heart.

After a while, the pulse is stable, and the imperial doctor can diagnose whether it is a male fetus. Xuanyuan naturally hoped that Mu Bangsheng's birth would be a prince.

Mu Bangshang lay on the couch and didn't sleep, she saw Zhong Yu mention the osmanthus cake and deliberately said that if she wanted to eat it, she also asked for sour plum soup. In this way, they can let her go out for a walk, and be locked up in Fengyi Palace like a cage every day.

She wanted to escape from the cage very much, the emperor sent someone to monitor her every move, she couldn't escape, seeing that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, she was afraid that it would be more difficult to escape than to ascend to the sky.

Mu Bangshang made a sound on the couch, as if he had woken up from his sleep, and after sleeping full, the whole person looked much more energetic, "Your Majesty? At such an hour, no one woke me up. ”

"You shouldn't have dinner yet, let's eat together."

Even if he didn't like Mu Bangshang, he still ate some, Xuanyuan saw that she was in good spirits, and he didn't complain that she went to the imperial garden.

remembered that it would be Xuanyuan Hong's birthday in a few days, "It will be your father's birthday in a few days, you go and invite your father to the birthday banquet." ”

Mu Bangshang has been raising a baby these days, and he hasn't gone to the Cheng'en Hall to ask the emperor for peace.

A few days later is the birthday of the emperor, time flies so fast, a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

"Wouldn't it be better for the emperor to ask for it in person? The rift between father and son must be unraveled. The emperor's time is short, perhaps this is his father's last birthday. ”

The grudge between father and son could not be resolved in a moment, and Xuanyuan's reckless eyebrows became very cold.

"It's my father who doesn't forgive me, so why should I take my own humiliation."

The next day, all the concubines came to Fengqi Palace to greet the queen, and the queen was still dressing up.

The concubines gathered in the main hall, and the most important thing in the harem was to talk about.

Even if Fang Minjun didn't talk about it, Ren Daiying had already spread the news of Concubine Xian's appearance in the Imperial Garden.

Zhong Yu saw that Ren Daiying said that Concubine Xian was not, Zhong Yu talked with Concubine Xian in the imperial garden yesterday, and felt that she was not such an arrogant woman.

"Concubine Xian's face is very bad, as if a gust of wind can blow it down, it won't be pretending to be weak and trapping the emperor."

"That's not necessarily, if the emperor doesn't leave Fengyi Palace, our sisters won't have a chance to conceive an heir, and Concubine Xian's plan will succeed."

Fang Minjun said: "I don't think so, yesterday Concubine Xian Niangniang was still saying that she wanted to drink sour plum soup, Niangniang's face was so pale, her stomach was pointy, maybe she was a prince in her abdomen, so the emperor was so nervous."

Ren Daiying choked and said, "Who knows if Concubine Xian deliberately said it to you, why can't you two hear this?" ”

Fang Minjun just wanted to refute, but was stopped by Zhong Yu, she had already seen someone in the inner hall eavesdropping on their conversation.

After the curtain, Wen Zhen heard all the concubines talking about the virtuous concubine, but did not appear to stop him.

Want to hear what these women are saying behind their backs? She has always been gentle and virtuous, and she is a pampered and proud woman.

Unexpectedly, someone actually helped Concubine Xian speak, and when she heard that Mu Wansheng might be a male fetus in her belly, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, but it was a trace found by Zhong Yu.

The women stopped chatting, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Mama Jiang shouted: "The queen has arrived!" ”
