The emperor is in good spirits these days, and today he accompanied the Queen Mother Yun Dajue Temple to worship the Buddha, and when he came back, he even went to the imperial study to do some official business, and then went back to the palace to rest.

"You really don't feel a headache at all? Don't he hold on, you guys aren't careful and don't you see? Empress Dowager Liu looked at the few little eunuchs kneeling in the center of the ground with disbelieving eyes.

"The minions can be regarded as careful, they have been waiting by the emperor's side, and they didn't see the appearance of being hard, they came out of the imperial study, and it was supposed to be time to take medicine, and the servants handed the medicine over, and the emperor actually smiled and said that he forgot to take medicine.

The slave who said this is very comfortable, ancestor, the emperor is so sick that he dared to be in love, and he even forgot to take the medicine. ”

The little eunuch named Xiaofuzi replied with sharp teeth.

Empress Dowager Liu showed a pleased smile on her face, nodded again and again, and laughed: "You bear child, you can talk, come, Guan Yong, reward this child with something, and the mourning family will be happy when they look at him." ”

Sending away a few little eunuchs, Guan Yong changed a cup of hot tea for Empress Dowager Liu, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, the emperor's body and bones are like a day by day, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is also approaching, should the queen's candidate be decided." ”

Empress Dowager Liu sighed and sighed: "The remaining concubines are all ghosts in front of the Yama Palace, and none of them are eye-catching, what do you say?"

The mourning family has always liked Zheng Leer, but unfortunately this incident, it is no longer possible to be the queen, can you choose one now? There is not enough time, and it is really a sad thing, it really can't be done, let Qin Tianjian count another auspicious day, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens will be postponed. ”

Guan Yong sighed, and said with a careful smile: "The matter of sacrifice is the ancestral system, and the concubines feel that it is a little troublesome to change, choose the queen, after all, you have to choose a emperor who likes it, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Liu sighed and shook her head: "What does the emperor like?" It's not that you don't know the emperor and him, see one and love the other, and I haven't seen him have feelings for any concubine over the years, everyone likes them, if you want him to choose, he will definitely say, whatever, whichever is fine. ”

Before Empress Dowager Liu could speak, she saw Mama Jiang leading Xiaoyue from the Pearl Pavilion into the hall with an excited face.

"Mama, what's the matter, your smiling mouth is almost behind your ears." Guan Yong asked with a smile.

"Oh, old ancestor, happy event! Great joy! I just went to check the pulse of Concubine Ying, saying that it was a happy pulse, and Yingniangniang was pregnant with a dragon fetus! ”

Mama Jiang patted her thigh and laughed loudly.

"What? Pregnant with a dragon baby? Empress Dowager Liu was excited, and she shot the case and overturned the teacups on the desk.

"It's not that I'm pregnant with a dragon fetus, or the imperial doctor is prescribing a fetal prescription there, and after the opening, I will personally come to report the good news to my ancestors." Mama Jiang said with a smile.

"Take care of the girl, quickly change the clothes of the mourning family, the mourning family is going to the Zhuguang Pavilion." Empress Dowager Liu commanded in a loud voice.

Guan Yong hurriedly helped her in to change her clothes, and when she came out again, she was already standing in the main hall with her hands down, waiting.

"Or lead, is it really a happy pulse? You read that right? Empress Dowager Liu asked happily.

Or wiped his sweat, knelt down and kowtowed, and his voice trembled slightly: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, according to the humble diagnosis, it is really a happy pulse." ”

Empress Dowager Liu clasped her hands together, chanted Amitabha, smiled even more happily, and dragged Guan Yong to the Zhuguang Pavilion.

Concubine Ying had just drunk a bowl of fetal medicine, and was resting on the bed leaning on the brocade quilt, but retching a few times from time to time, Xiaoyue and a few other maids were holding sour plums and other things in their hands, standing on the side of the bed and waiting, and whispered to persuade her to eat one and suppress it.

When Concubine Ying saw Empress Dowager Liu coming in, she wanted to get out of bed to salute, Empress Dowager Liu took two steps, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a smile: "At this time, there is no need to be polite, it is important to protect the fetus.

Later, the mourning family will ask the chef to boil some light soup for you to drink. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." Concubine Ying blushed and said shyly.

"What do you want to eat, just ask, the mourning family will let them get it for you to eat, the most important thing is that you must eat well, adults eat well, and the fetus in the belly will have enough nutrition to grow up."

Empress Dowager Liu said with a smile.

Concubine Ying nodded in agreement, picked up a sour plum from Xiaoyue's hand and put it in her mouth.

Mama Jiang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Ancestor, sour and spicy girl, Ying Niangniang must be pregnant with a prince!" ”

"You old thing has never been born, how do you know everything." Empress Dowager Liu patted her and laughed, and everyone in the room laughed too.

————————

Sima Nan stood beside Emperor Xiao, looked at him, and Emperor Xiao, who was looking directly, was a little unbearable, put down the fold in his hand, and raised his head: "If you have anything to say, are you interesting to me?" Why don't we have a secret talk in the middle? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of joking with you, it has been more than an hour since the news of the harem came, should you let go of this matter and go over to see Concubine Yingniang?" Sima Nan Zhengsedao.

"Do you think she's really pregnant? Or is she really pregnant with my child? Emperor Xiao had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sima Nan moved his gaze into the distance and sighed slightly: "It doesn't matter, does it?" What the imperial court needs now is a queen, otherwise, who do you think will be the best candidate? ”

Emperor Xiao's eyes flashed: "Did you choose it for me?" ”

"Ladies are smart people, how can you use the brains of ministers." Sima Nandao.

Emperor Xiao laughed: "This may be killed, and it is a scourge to keep it." ”

"It's not necessary, the people in the imperial hospital are all capable people, the royal nobles have a headache and brain fever, it depends on them, if they are killed, once their hearts are cold, it is the emperor who suffers." Sima Nandao.

Emperor Xiao snorted and laughed at himself: "This is the reason why your father didn't kill my father in the first place?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has said many times, there is no such thing at all, the heavens are the emperor's world, and the first emperor is the emperor's father, this is the truth." Sima Nandao.

Emperor Xiao got up and walked outside, laughing twice: "Brother, don't deceive yourself, what do you think, I understand very well, the reason why you keep him, secretly help him, protect him, and tell him how to live, so as to escape the pursuit of my mother, don't you just want to leave this world to him?"

Although you have no intention of fighting with me for anything, but the world has always been bought by your Xia family, how can you give it to others? ”

Sima Nan was speechless.

He admitted that he did underestimate Emperor Xiao's strength, thinking that he was as decadent as he looked, and he didn't know that he would know so many things.

He knew almost everything, and this was what made Sima Nan feel the most distressed.

If he is a bad person, then when he knows, it should be Zhang and his death.

When Emperor Xiao knew the truth, it should be the time when he first ascended the throne and began to decline, and at that time, Sima Nan did not have the power he has now.

If Emperor Xiao wanted to confront him, Sima Nan didn't even have half of the chance of winning, and with the support of the Empress Dowager's family, Emperor Xiao might not be able to eradicate the forces cultivated by him and Master Liao.

And he is so kind, so kind that he would rather choose to escape than confront him.

He, like Jiang Ming, is the kindest person in the world.

Sima Nan wished that the needle was inserted into his head.

Pei Shaofen walked over head-on, with tears in his eyes, and when he saw Emperor Xiao, he didn't give a salute, and stared at him directly.

Emperor Xiao spread his hands, grinned, and squeezed out a smile: "Do you want to accompany me to see Ying'er?" ”

"Your Majesty! You obviously promised your concubine, and that night, you swore by the lamplight, didn't you count those words? Pei Shaofen stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and cried loudly.

Emperor Xiao touched her head and sighed: "She is pregnant with a dragon fetus, but I didn't say that I wanted to make her the queen." ”

"In order to perpetuate the Great Xia and prevent the Xiao Wall from causing trouble, Niangniang really shouldn't use the emperor's drunken jokes to blackmail him at this time." Sima Nan interjected coldly.

Pei Shaofen raised her teary eyes and stared at Emperor Xiao: Could it be that what the emperor said to his concubines was not taught by the general? ”

Emperor Xiao glanced back at Sima Nan, and there was some ridicule in his eyes, and Sima Nan shrugged helplessly.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go and see Ying'er, and I'll go up to your place for the night tonight." Emperor Xiao patted her on the shoulder and coaxed her softly.

Pei Shaofen stretched her sleeves to wipe away her tears and nodded: "Then tonight, the concubine will burn the emperor's favorite agarwood and wait for the emperor." ”

"Don't wait, the oath that the emperor said to you under the lamp is the same as what I said to you today, the heart is sincere, but the reality may not be like this, the plan is not as fast as the change, and the mother still doesn't have to have empty hope."

Sima Nan said coldly.

A trace of viciousness flashed in Pei Shaofen's eyes, and it was fleeting, but it did not escape the eyes of Emperor Xiao.

"Your Majesty, the concubines understand, wait for the emperor to discuss with the general, and then make a decision, the general is dedicated to the country and the people, his words must be right."

Pei Shaofen said with tears in her eyes, gave a salute, and turned to leave.

"Sima Nan, you did something wrong, you shouldn't be like this, you are like this, you are to calm down and make enemies! You guy, you are better than me in everything, but there is always one thing, I am sure, you must be inferior to me, and that is how to deal with women. ”

Emperor Xiao looked at Pei Shaofen's back, crooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile.

Sima Nan gasped heavily, he didn't understand Emperor Xiao's words, what does this matter have to do with calmness, eight poles can't hit together.

"If you don't let her get what she wants most, she'll naturally find a way to destroy what you want most. What she wants is the back position, and what do you want, you know? "Emperor Xiao said.

Sima Nan's heart ached.

You can't fail to hear the viciousness in her last words, do you? She wants to provoke my dissatisfaction with you, I, an emperor, even have to discuss with you, a general, this kind of thing, isn't it too undignified?

To tell you the truth, if you are not brothers, if you are any king, from this moment on, you will definitely have murderous intentions in your heart. ”

Emperor Xiao laughed.

Sima Nan looked at the curling figure that disappeared in the shade of the flowers, and shuddered slightly: "The emperor may not be happy and happy with such a woman every day." ”

"I'm still worried about yourself, it's not easy to be calm now, I can become Ying'er's lackey, convince you that she is really pregnant, and make you believe this nonsense, it can be seen that she has waded into this troubled water and can't get out at all."

Emperor Xiao slowly paced forward and said slowly.

Sima Nan swallowed his saliva, and suddenly felt that he was particularly wronged, he had always thought that he was a fool and useless all these years, but now it seems that his wisdom is above him, and he sees things more thoroughly than him.

He has worked hard all these years, just for such a guy who is smarter than him! It's a sad thing.
