Chapter 68: The Palace Rejoices

In the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace of Darong City, Xiao Lizi had looked at the emperor worriedly more than once, and the wine flowed into the king's belly like water, but the emperor was still drinking it unconsciously. I remember that a few days ago, the emperor also asked the servants to pour wine from wine glasses, but now they have directly changed to a pot, and only when the wine in the pot is exhausted will the slaves be called to add wine.

Half a month has passed, and the palace seems to have changed, and the entire palace seems to be shrouded in an unknown anger and resentment. Zhang Xiaoyi's father-in-law, who served by the emperor's side, suffered a comminuted fracture of the right hand bone, and suffered from an unknown strange disease. Xiao Lizi replaced Zhang Xiaoyi's original position and became the chief eunuch of the emperor's side.

But since taking over for half a month, Xiao Lizi has seen the emperor every day to drink to drown his sorrows. It seems that except for the emperor who didn't drink in the early dynasty, he was drinking all the time, and he was so drunk every night that he was carried back to the Qingxin Palace. And every night, Xiao Lizi could hear the emperor shouting a person's name in a heart-rending voice, "Xiao Yue'er, Xiao Yue'er." Listening to that voice, Xiao Lizi's heart also hurt, but the matter has come to this, why bother in the first place!

For half a month, the emperor did not favor any woman in the harem. The four noble concubines came in turn, but none of them were summoned by the emperor. Xiao Lizi knew that the emperor always had that woman named Yan Yue in his heart, and no one could replace her and could not change it. Xiao Lizi is sad for the emperor, but more often than not, he is more worried about the emperor. With so many state affairs and such a heavy foundation, what if the emperor has been drinking like this to drown his sorrows and destroy his body.

It's almost dinner time, and every time the emperor arrives at this time, he is already ninety percent drunk, and he has never had dinner for half a month. Even breakfast and lunch are minimal. What if it goes on like this? The more Xiao Lizi thought about it, the more anxious he became, and a little eunuch behind him secretly pulled Xiao Lizi's clothes, and Xiao Lizi quietly withdrew from the palace. Only then did he see a charming beauty standing outside the main hall, and immediately quickly knelt on the ground: "The slave asks Wang Shuyuan for peace." ”

The person who came was that Wang Shuyuan, Wang Shuyuan, who had not shown up for a while. In Xiao Lizi's memory, this Wang Shuyuan has a very gentle personality, although her father is the deputy prime minister, she is not pampered in this harem, and even extremely approachable. She smiled and didn't speak, the green bead behind her had come to Xiao Lizi's side, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Li, get up quickly, my master is unwell and can't help you personally, so I have to help you by me, a little girl." ”

I have to admit that what kind of master has what kind of minions. That Wang Shuyuan is gentle and virtuous, and the little girl around her is also likable and amiable. Xiao Lizi stood up, but the little girl stuffed something into Xiao Lizi's palm by the way. Xiao Li Xin was about to speak, but the girl had already made a look, and immediately cleverly hid the things in her hand into her sleeve.

"The slave is going to give Wang Shuyuan a gift, but the emperor is in a bad mood these days, and no one wants to see him." Xiao Lizi was a little embarrassed, and if the emperor said "no", he would have no choice. Even if Wang Shuyuan stuffed something, it was the same.

"Father-in-law Li, on the way to the palace, I accidentally dropped an earring, I wonder if my father-in-law would like to look for it for the palace?" The gentle voice carried an irresistible will, Xiao Lizi's heart trembled, this Wang Shuyuan was obviously ready to enter the temple directly without being able to face the saint, but she had thought of a way back for herself. When he remembered the thing stuffed with the green bead just now, he suddenly thought about it, and immediately responded with a smile: "Shuyuan Niangniang, wait a minute, the slave will find it for the master." ”

Xiao Lizi quickly called the two little fathers-in-law and looked for them on the road when Wang Shuyuan came. After turning the corner and finding a secluded place, Xiao Lizi took out the things that were hidden in his sleeve just now. An earring in a folded piece of paper, a stack of silver tickets. Since taking over the position of the chief eunuch, Xiao Lizi has received many gifts from the ladies of the palace, and if she does not accept it, it is a refutation of the face of the maidens, and she can receive some small news that does not damage the emperor when it is convenient. So when the green bead stuffed something into Xiao Lizi's hand, Xiao Lizi took it without thinking about it. It's just that she is the only one who gives gifts like Wang Shuyuan, although the stack of silver tickets is quite large, but it makes Xiao Lizi feel cold, and she can't figure out the intention of the earrings to be stuffed into her hands, what will happen if she enters the palace just now?

Not to mention that the more Xiao Lizi thought about it, the more scared she became, but Wang Shuyuan in the room slowly raised her steps and walked towards the hall.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." The gentle and sweet voice poured into Murong Yan's ears, and Murong Yan raised his head in surprise, it seemed that only Yan Yue's girl never liked to let people be polite and rushed directly into the hall. Thinking like this, Yan Yue's face really appeared in front of him, the pure smiling eyes, the white face as jade, and the pink lips. Murong Yan had a splitting headache, but he couldn't speak when he opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you these days, has the emperor forgotten Yao'er?" The coquettish tone, the angry little face, everything is as she looks when she is angry.

"Yue'er, my Yue'er, you're back!" Murong Yan muttered, stood up suddenly, rushed towards the woman of His Royal Highness, and suddenly took the woman in his arms, and hugged her so tightly, for fear that it would become a dream again as soon as he let go. How many times have I dreamed of her smiling face in my dreams, how many times have I lingered with her in my dreams, but every time I woke up, my eyes were empty, and Murong Yan was really afraid.

On the contrary, Wang Shuyuan's face was calm, there was no sadness, no anger, and no loss, some were just calm and clear as expected. Stretched out his hand to take the water cup that had already been prepared in Luzhu's hand, gently pushed Murong Yan, who was holding him tightly, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has made a cup of tea for the emperor, you can taste it." ”

"Yue'er, as long as you come back, even if you give me poisonous wine, I will drink it." Murong Yan stretched out his hand to take Wang Shuyuan's hand, and at some point, Wang Shuyuan had an extra cup in his hand, raised his head and drank it all. The cup was thrown, and the woman in his arms was firmly hugged with both hands. Wang Shuyuan waited quietly for a while, and then whispered: "Luzhu, the emperor should be asleep, you come to help help the emperor to the dragon couch in the apse." ”

Sure enough, as Wang Shuyuan expected, Murong Yan really fell asleep. With both hands, he slowly helped Murong Yan to sleep on the dragon couch, and Wang Shuyuan sat down slowly with the support of Lu Zhu. He said to the green bead again: "You use the massage method I taught you these days to sober up the emperor." ”

Lu Zhu carefully massaged from Murong Yanhu's mouth, and said in a low voice while massaging: "Master, the slave thinks that your medical skills are a hundred times stronger than that Yan Shuyuan, but you never show it, master." Wang Shuyuan couldn't help laughing, and her eyes became a little empty when she looked at the green bead girl, and she was silent for a long time before she said: "My medical skills are much worse than hers, but her personality is too strong, and she has suffered some losses." In the future, you should not mention the matter of this palace knowing medicine at any time. ”

Lu Zhu didn't dare to say more, and concentrated on massaging according to the master's teaching. This time it was already dripping with sweat. Fortunately, Wang Shuyuan only ordered Luzhu to massage it once, and Wang Shuyuan was not in a hurry, so she just sat on the side and waited quietly, because Wang Shuyuan believed that Murong Yan would wake up in a while.

Murong Yan opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a little face waiting anxiously, the worry and nervousness on that face made Murong Yan's gaze stay for a long, long time, but for such a long time, Murong Yan didn't remember who the woman in front of him was.

"The emperor is awake, Gonggong Li, quickly send the sobering soup." Wang Shuyuan stood up with a smile and gently ordered Xiao Lizi, who had returned to the main hall. Xiao Lizi hurriedly ordered to hand over the decanting soup that had been prepared, while secretly thinking in his heart that this Wang Shuyuan is really a good skill, for half a month, when the emperor was awake every day, it was the early morning of the next day, and he didn't expect to be able to wake up tonight.

And Murong Yan finally remembered who this woman was, and sat up slowly, and Wang Shuyuan had already stretched out her little hand and supported the emperor gently and considerately. Murong Yan couldn't help but stiffen, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Does Wang Shuyuan have anything to do?" ”

This question was already asked mercilessly, and even Xiao Lizi couldn't help but peek at Wang Shuyuan's face. Because the emperor's next sentence must be to retreat if there is nothing to do, but Xiao Lizi was surprised to see that Wang Shuyuan didn't even change the smile on her face, and her voice was still so beautiful and beautiful: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here to congratulate the emperor, congratulate the emperor." ”

Murong Yan's hand stiffened, and he immediately threw out the little hand that was on his arm, his face was also cold, and he asked in a cold voice: "I don't know where the joy comes from?" ”

And Wang Shuyuan in the room had quickly knelt down under the support of Lu Zhu, and once again looked up at the charming little face and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, the concubine has the emperor's child, and the concubine wants to congratulate the emperor on becoming a father!" ”

Murong Yan's whole person seemed to freeze there, and suddenly remembered what Wang Shuyuan said one night, she said that she had been dreaming that the emperor was with her a little princess in the dream. The little princess called the emperor father and her mother... Then Murong Yan answered her that day, and he didn't let her drink the shunzi soup the next day. It turned out that on that night, she had it!

The shock in Xiao Lizi's heart is definitely no less than that of Emperor Murong Yan, this is a big deal, pregnant with a dragon heir, if this is a boy, maybe he will be the prince in the future, not to mention that the position of the queen of the harem is vacant, at this time Wang Shuyuan is pregnant, what does that mean! Xiao Lizi wanted to say congratulations to the emperor, but looking at the expression on the emperor's face, he couldn't say it for a while.

"Yes, there are children, this is a good thing! What a congratulations! What a good thing! Murong Yan said slowly, but he couldn't tell if it was laughter or what, Murong Yan only knew that he was very sad, what a lifetime and a couple, that kind of world is getting farther and farther away from him! She's gone, she's gone, leaving herself and this woman in the palace, what are you talking about for a lifetime!

"The slave congratulates the emperor!" The emperor opened his mouth, and Xiao Lizi dared to lead the palace people to congratulate him.

"Wang Shuyuan is pregnant, Jin Feng is a concubine, Daqing in the palace, and then the Internal Affairs Office will arrange a reward...... Murong Yan said slowly, Jin Feng added a reward, and a large number of favors made Wang Shuyuan kowtow again to thank him.

Xiao Lizi couldn't help but be overjoyed, no matter what it was, as long as the emperor was sober and stopped drinking. Of course, the things that made Xiao Li Zi happy were still to come, and when Wang Shuyuan left, the emperor once again sent out an unbelievable saying: "Spread the decree Xiyue Palace, and tonight Wan Guifei will sleep." ”

The good news came out in Yingyue Xuan, and the news of pampering Wan Guifei came again. The emperor, who is rarely favored by the harem women, finally pays attention to the harem women, which is surprising and surprising at the same time. The Xiyue Palace was ecstatic, and the other palaces were also ready to move. There was a jubilant atmosphere in the palace of the Darong Dynasty.
