In the Jiaokun Palace, the imperial physician Jiang Zhongqi asked for the pulse of the Empress Feng.

When she was close to the maid Chanmei received the brocade on Feng's wrist, Jiang Zhongqi lowered her head and said: "Queen, you often have a pulse of four breaths, not floating or sinking, not big or small, calm and gentle, fluent and powerful, and the ulnar pulse is endless, this is a sign of great peace." ”

Feng Shi bowed slightly, and said: "With Imperial Doctor Jiang by my side, my body is fine." ”

Jiang Zhongqi smiled and said: "The queen and the princess take care of you, and you should do your best to keep the queen healthy." ”

Jiang Zhongqi's grandfather, Jiang Xiaoting, was promoted by the Empress Dowager to take charge of the Imperial Medical Department, and later because of the grace of the Empress Dowager Jiang Zhongqi also entered the Imperial Medical Department. Because of this, Jiang Zhongqi is grateful to the Feng family and loyal.

In the old year, the concubine was pregnant for more than five months, and Feng didn't know about it, but asked the noble concubine and wife Li to say it at the banquet in Lari, which won the emperor's approval. Since then, whenever Jiang Zhongqi asks for his resignation, Feng will order Jiang Zhongqi to report all the matters of the Imperial Doctor's Office.

After the doctor boy packed up the medical box, he retreated to the outer hall and waited as before.

The people who got up in the palace this morning have all got the news that the noble concubine Mrs. Li is pregnant, and the emperor stayed in the Changxia Hall last night. Seeing the doctor boy leaving, Feng Shi spoke: "Imperial Doctor Jiang, is the news that the poisonous woman of the Li family is pregnant?" ”

Jiang Zhongqi said: "Queen, you got up in the morning Chanmei to send a message to the minister, before the minister came, he had checked yesterday's medicine records, if you look at Mrs. Li according to this, she must be pregnant with a dragon fetus." ”

Feng entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and for many years, he didn't look forward to giving birth to a son for Yuan Hong. Mo said that the emperor almost does not set foot in his dormitory now, that is, when the former empress dowager was alive, he often bathed in the rain and dew, and the Feng family did not have a son and a half daughter.

At this time, after listening to Jiang Zhongqi's words, Feng Shi hated in his heart: "Buddha and Bodhisattva, how can this poisonous woman snake and scorpion make her pregnant!" ”

Jiang Zhongqi saw that Feng was like this, so he said: "Queen, the minister peeps that prescription actually has atractylodes and eucommia ulmoides, and the dragon fetus in Mrs. Li's body is not stable. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he seemed to be refreshed, and hurriedly asked: "What does Imperial Doctor Jiang mean by this?" ”

Jiang Zhongqi lowered his head and said: "This atractylodes has a bitter and sweet taste, which has the effect of strengthening the body, tonifying the spleen and strengthening the fetus, and this eucommia has a pungent, sweet and warm taste, which is beneficial to the kidneys and the fetus." There is a cloud in the medical book: "Pregnancy depends on the spleen and soil, wood can strengthen the spleen, so the main fetus is safe", and now Dr. Qiao uses these two flavors at the same time to enter the medicine, and what the minister has learned, this is the disease of the instability of the dragon fetus. ”

Feng Shi was very happy when he heard this, and held the feather fan on the case in his hand, and said while shaking the feather fan lightly: "If this matter is serious, it will be a very happy thing." ”

Jiang Zhongqi said: "Whether it's true or not, we will know in a few days." ”

Seeing Feng's suspicious expression, Jiang Zhongqi said: "Queen, whether a woman can have a safe pregnancy should be in March, according to the file recorded by the Imperial Medical Department, Mrs. Li has been pregnant for nearly two months, and whether she can keep the dragon fetus within a month will know." ”

Feng snorted coldly and said: "I am the queen, I am the queen of heaven and the people of Li, but this poisonous woman dares to frame me, and God will never forgive her!" ”

Jiang Zhongqi didn't dare to answer when he heard this, and when Feng saw this, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, you should step back first, if there is any news, report it in time." ”

Jiang Zhongqi hurriedly responded, and then withdrew from the hall after making a regular salute.

This Jiang Zhongqi left only for a moment, and the nurse Xiao Shi came inside.

Xiao Shi made a regular salute and said: "Queen, the third prince handed over the news, and ten days later, he will send the little lady into the palace." ”

Feng Shi was unprepared for this news, and said suspiciously: "Ji'er entered the palace? Isn't it that His Majesty has made a decree and designated Ji'er as the prince's wife? ”

Xiao said: "Queen, Your Majesty has allowed the little lady to be the princess in the old years, although there is no time to issue an edict, but His Majesty personally ordered the little lady to send the little lady into the palace. ”

Feng Shi said happily: "Your Majesty still cares about the relationship with me, in the end, he chose my Feng daughter's daughter as the crown princess, and he is willing to hand over Ji'er to me to upbring." ”

How could Xiao Shi not know the reason for this, hearing Feng's words, he said tactfully: "The little lady is the queen's niece, and no matter where she is, she is also the closest to the queen. In the future, when I re-enter the prince's mansion, I will be even closer to you and more close, and I will treat you to filial piety. ”

Feng Shi heard that Xiao Shi looked at him left and right, and said suspiciously: "I am the queen, and Ji'er is my closest relative, if she enters the palace, she will live in the same palace as me, how can she say that she lives elsewhere?" ”

Although Xiao Shi couldn't bear to break through Feng's words in his heart, he also knew that the long pain was better than the short pain, so he was heartbroken and said: "Queen, the little lady entered the palace to go to the Yonghe Palace to live with Zhaoyi. ”

When Feng heard Xiao Shi's words, he immediately sank his face, pulled Xiao Shi, and said eagerly: "What you said is true? What does Your Majesty mean by this? Father, father, does the father know about this? ”

Seeing Xiao Shi nodded, Feng Shi was stunned for a moment, and only muttered: "How can this be, how can it be so..."

Xiao Shiwang's heart ached, and he comforted: "Queen, that Zhaoyi also entered the palace as our Feng family's daughter, whether she is sincere or not, she doesn't dare to wronged the little lady, right?" This Zhaoyi is now in full grace, if she has the responsibility of upbringing, wouldn't the little lady sit firmly in the position of the prince's wife. ”

When the Feng family heard Xiao's words, he said coldly: "I understand it, as long as the Feng family can be protected from fading and favoring, it doesn't matter who the father of this queen is, and he can completely ignore the father-daughter relationship." ”

Xiao Shi said: "Queen, why did you say this? Everything the Taishi does is for the queen. ”

With a cold snort, Feng hated and said, "For me? It's ridiculous! For the sake of my father, I should speak in front of Your Majesty and raise Ji'er under my knees, not to please Your Majesty, and let the woman take away Ji'er! ”

Xiao Shi said: "Queen, you are wrong to blame the master... On the same day, because Mrs. Li fell into the water, you were grounded by Your Majesty, and it was the Taishi who made the third prince quickly whip the third prince to meet Zhaoyi, and allowed to raise the little lady under her knees, so as to solve the queen's predicament that day..."

A proud person like the Feng family was annoyed and angry when he knew that he had been helped by Zhaoyi to lift the grounding order. Before Xiao Shi could speak, Feng Shi said: "Your Majesty lifted my grounding order and allowed me to move to Luoyang, not because of Gu Nian's affection, but because of the woman who was re-Jiao... My virgin body is married to Your Majesty, but in the eyes of Your Majesty, I am not as good as a woman who is a re-Jiao. ”

Xiao Shi approached and explained: "Queen, you are the wife of Your Majesty, how can you not have half of your affection for each other?" If Your Majesty really treats you ruthlessly, it will be useless to persuade you. ”

Seeing that Feng was silent, Xiao continued: "Although His Majesty favors Zhaoyi now, he does not disobey the queen on weekdays. The slave is a bystander, and the current situation can also be seen clearly, the queen is now in trouble is Mrs. Li and not Zhaoyi, if this time she borrowed the little lady to enter the palace and got Zhaoyi's help, the queen will be like an extra right-hand man, and the queen can take back the right to govern the palace. ”

Feng knew in his heart that what Xiao said was true, although he still felt jealousy and hatred in his heart, but compared to the hatred of Li's bones, this can be let go.

As Xiao spoke, Feng was already holding a feather fan in his hand, pacing back and forth in the hall, and said, "Then in your opinion, what should I do now?" ”

Xiao Shi looked at Feng Shi and said: "The princess said to the queen, although Your Majesty has given the right to govern the palace to Mrs. Li, but the queen, you are the first empress dowager for Your Majesty, as long as you act thoughtfully, don't act willfully, and after a year and a half, Your Majesty will return the right to govern the palace to you." ”

Feng Shi said quietly: "A year and a half? Now that the poisonous woman of the Li family is pregnant with His Majesty's dragon fetus, if he gives birth to a prince for His Majesty again, and Li Chong is relied on in the previous dynasty, it will not be easy for me to regain the right to govern the palace! ”

Xiao Shi laughed at this time: "Queen, when a woman is pregnant and gives birth to a child, it is a matter of exhaustion, so shouldn't Mrs. Li hand over the right to govern the palace?" When the little lady enters the palace, our Feng family will have three daughters in this harem, why don't you worry about not taking back the right to govern the palace? ”

The news of the noble concubine's wife Li's pregnancy naturally spread to the Yonghe Palace.

He and Gao Concubine sat together, cooking tea in a small stove on the desk, and the two of them watched Yuan Ying practice as a female celebrity while drinking tea.

He looked at Yuan Ying and said with a smile: "Ying'er is ingenious, she has only learned a few days of female red, the embroidered flowers and plants have beautiful patterns, and the embroidery is also fine." ”

Gao Shi hurriedly said: "Zhaoyi always praises Ying'er, and Ying'er will be honed over time." ”

He Dao: "Concubine Gao is so blessed to give birth to such a clever and well-behaved little girl." ”

Gao smiled lightly: "Ying'er doesn't know who she is with, if she doesn't change her sharp and sharp temperament, no one will dare to marry in the future." ”

He Dao: "I like Ying'er's temperament, and she is sensible and intelligent, if anyone marries our Ying'er, it will be a blessing from her previous life." ”

When the two chatted happily, Wang Shi came inside, bent down to the two of them to bow to the usual, Wang said: "Zhaoyi, Gao Concubine, slave you two talk!" ”

He Dao: "It's okay, sister-in-law Wang, what's the matter with you?" ”

Wang said: "The slave went to the Chengqian Palace to send spiritual powder soup to His Majesty at the will of Zhaoyi, and saw that many concubines in the palace went to Changxia to send congratulatory gifts to Mrs. Li. ”

He looked at Gao and said: "Concubine Gao, I have been in the palace for a long time, and there are still many palace rules that I don't know, this concubine is pregnant, but she still needs to go to give gifts?" ”

Gao shook his head and said, "Except for the day when the concubine gave birth to a full-term child, everyone in the palace needs to prepare gifts to give each other, but the rest has never been." ”

He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li is kind to people on weekdays, and now that she is pregnant, the sisters are happy for her." ”

Although Gao Concubine has not known Li as a person in the palace for many years, she also knows that he is a duplicitous person. Hearing what He said, Gao hinted: "Zhaoyi, Mrs. Li is now in charge of governing the palace, how can the sisters not go?" ”

Seeing that He was silent, Wang asked: "Zhaoyi, then do we need to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Yonghe Palace?" ”

He nodded and said: "Come and don't be rude, on the day I was promoted to Zhaoyi Mrs. Li gave me a rare piano book, and when I slipped the fetus, it was also her day to cook medicinal food for me, and now Mrs. Li is pregnant, she should send a congratulatory gift to her." ”
