Lin Yuan looked at her like this, smiled and stopped talking, and reached out to eat the rose pastry on the small table.

At this time, the emperor had not yet arrived, and everyone in the harem was ordered by Concubine Jing not to come, so Concubine Jing and Lin Yuan sat idle for half an hour and no one came. Concubine Jing had the intention of driving Lin Yuan back, but looking at Lin Yuan's appearance, did she look like she would listen to her?

It's better not to stir up a conversation and start a dispute again.

Ye Xiuxin's production went smoothly, and Tuoba Hong was not in a hurry. He has been anxious these days, and because of the queen's affairs, Prime Minister Zuo almost had a falling out with him.

Although he is growing in fledgling and powerful, he is far from the point where he will unload the mill and kill the donkey and abandon the left prime minister. He, the emperor, is not hard enough to do that.

And Prime Minister Zuo is also worthy of being an old fox. He knelt in the emperor's diligent palace for days, not accusing the emperor of liking the new and hating the old, treating his wife harshly, and not crying out for his daughter, so he shouted with tears and tears, "I ask the emperor to be clear-sighted", "I teach my daughter badly, and the crime should be ten thousand deaths", "I am old and sick, this official can't do it, and I want to sue the old man to return to his hometown" and so on.

Tuoba Hong had long wanted him to take off his official uniform and go back to the ancestral house, but after thinking about it again, there would really be a big mess without Prime Minister Zuo in this court. He suppressed the fire in his heart, wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeve and went up to help Prime Minister Zuo: "Prime Minister, you are the pillar of Great Qin, how can you tell the old man to return to his hometown!" You are loyal to Great Qin, how can you be guilty of slaying your horse before and after saddling......"

The military generals of Wenchen standing on the side stared wide-eyed, watching the emperor and Prime Minister Zuo pull and cry bitterly, and they didn't know which one to persuade.

It's been a few days, and every time the early dynasty comes over like this, the emperor can stand it, and the courtiers below can't stand it anymore.

Fortunately, Ye Niangniang in the harem gave birth today, and Lord Yao, the former head of the palace, hurriedly ran to the Qinzheng Hall and said loudly to the emperor: "Your Majesty! Let's go and take a look at Little Master Ye! There are not many children in the palace, if it is a boy, this is your fifth prince......"

Tuoba Hong stomped his feet, pulled his sleeve out of Prime Minister Zuo's hand, touched his face and said, "Go!" Go and see Yeh. Prime Minister! Don't kneel, you see you've been kneeling for days, and I don't want to go......" said and strode out, and quickly stepped out of the Qinzheng Palace.

The Qinzheng Hall is the place where the emperor governs, belongs to the previous dynasty, and is some distance from the harem. By the time Tuoba Hong arrived at Tinglan Xiaozhu, it was already early afternoon.

Tinglan Xiaozhu could hear the woman's slight moaning.

Although Tuoba Hong had a lot of talk with Prime Minister Zuo in the Qinzheng Palace, he valued it very much on Ye's side, and he had already gotten the news that it was a smooth birth. At this time, he was not too worried, raised his feet and stepped into the inner hall, glanced at Concubine Jing and said, "Has the Ye clan just started?" ”

Tuoba Hong is more than thirty years old, and the palace concubines have seen a lot of pregnancy and childbirth, and they also have some experience. Concubine Jing hurriedly came up to greet him and replied, "It started half an hour ago. Ye's is young and the first child is the first child, and the child has not yet appeared, but the midwife said that there will be no problem. ”

Tuoba Hong nodded, looked at Lin Yuan again, and smiled: "Why is Concubine Hui here, how are you doing?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled mildly, and stepped forward to hold Tuoba Hong's arm, not at all like Concubine Jing was polite: "The concubine is very good, there is not much poison after fainting last time, and it will be fine for a long time." Today, Ye Liangyuan gave birth, and I came over to watch it, just because I wanted to learn in advance, so that I wouldn't be in a hurry when I arrived. ”

When Tuoba Hong heard her talk about the fetus, his face was suddenly full of tenderness, and he stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder despite Concubine Jing and said, "Good Yuan'er, our child must be sensible, and he won't trouble you when the time comes." Yuan'er wants to learn, but don't be tired, if you feel sleepy, go back to the Scarlet Building quickly. ”

"Yes!" Lin Yuan's voice was sweet and glutinous, and she sat on the soft couch with the emperor. The soft couch in the Ye Palace was too small, only enough for two people to sit together, but Concubine Jing was left aside, which was a little embarrassing.

Concubine Jing held back her anger and remained silent, she knew that she couldn't compete with Lin Yuan for favor at this time - Lin Yuan could pull the emperor to be coquettish regardless of etiquette, could she? Lin Yuan is only sixteen years old this year, and she is twenty-four! Moreover, Lin Yuan has always been outstanding for her favor, but she is the one in charge of the palace, and she should be cautious and set an example in the harem, how can she deal with an ignorant favorite concubine.

Tuoba Hong, who had been warm with Lin Yuan for a long time, did not come to his senses until Ye's scream resounded through the hall.

It is a ghost gate for a woman to give birth to a child, and Tuoba Hong listened to this voice, and worry flashed in his expression.

Concubine Jing was not worried, and comforted the emperor: "Giving birth to children is like this, and the women of the people have some earthwork, saying that they can give birth more smoothly by shouting with breathing." Ye's appearance should be that the child is showing his head. ”

In his heart, he was disdainful, and the women in the palace shouted extra loudly when they gave birth to children, just to let the emperor know how difficult it was to win some love.

Hearing this, Tuoba Hong's face turned slightly pale, glanced at the empty hall, and said, "Today is not as noisy as before. Concubine Jing, didn't the concubines in the harem come over? ”

Concubine Jing smiled slightly: "It was the concubine who asked them not to come." The concubine thought that Ye's production was already in a panic, and the sisters came to guard it, but they were not medical women, where could they help, but they stood here in vain and worried. The concubines asked them all to go back and wait, and when the Ye family had good news, they would naturally tell the six palaces. ”

Tuoba Hong nodded again and again when he listened, and said, "You did a good job." In the past, there were people in the harem who gave birth, and there was always a group of people outside the delivery room, which was just annoying. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook Concubine Jing's hand: "In the past, Empress Xiao was in charge of the inner court, and the first time you took over, you didn't disappoint me." ”

"The concubine and the emperor have been married for ten years, how dare they live up to the emperor." Concubine Jing just laughed.

Although Concubine Jing made an edict not to let the concubines come, a moment later, Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian both arrived on their feet.

Zhao Shuyuan stepped forward to salute the emperor and Concubine Jing, bowed her head and said obediently: "The concubine and the concubine Tian have the name of assistant to the six palaces, but they are stupid, and they are not as smart and capable as Concubine Jing. This time, the Ye family gave birth, and the concubines couldn't help much, but they didn't dare to be idle in the palace because of their responsibilities, so they came here to take care of one or two. ”

Although Concubine Jing is weak, she has not made the slightest mistake in the palace these days, and everything is in order, but it seems that Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian are redundant. But in any case, these two people were given the title of "assistant" by the emperor himself, and when they came, Concubine Jing categorically couldn't drive them out.

Tuoba Hong listened to what Zhao Shuyuan said, and said with a gentle face: "Shuyuan is too modest, everyone has a first time, you and Concubine Tian are slowly experienced, and you will do well in the future." ”

When Concubine Jing heard this, her palms clenched her nails. In the future? The emperor is still thinking about the future......

It seems that the emperor does not want to hand over the palace power to himself at all. The Zhao family and the Chu family, according to what the emperor said, have "experienced" well, and they have no choice but to make a fuss about dividing power! Especially Chu's ...... That's not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Although she was depressed in her heart, Concubine Jing didn't show it on her face, and pulled a medical girl to ask how Ye's life was with concern.

Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian both sat on either side of the emperor's head. At this time, Lin Yuan was still sitting side by side with the emperor on the upper seat, she watched Zhao Shuyuan sit under her, and after a little thought, she ordered the palace people to add a chair next to Concubine Tian, and got up to sit by herself. It's one thing for her to go against Concubine Jing, but Zhao Shuyuan has never hindered her in anything, and her rank is higher than her, so she should be given the respect she deserves.

The leaf embroidery heart inside is still in production. There are constantly medical women who come out to report to the emperor, one time saying that the child is showing his head, and the other time saying that the child is showing his shoulders. In such a wait, time passed very long, but Tuoba Hong's face was relaxed. Although it was hard to wait, compared with the concubines who had difficult births in the past, Ye's smooth birth was almost a happy event that had not been encountered in the Qianwu Dynasty for several years.

Tuoba Hong's harem was full of smoke and miasma, and its degree of chaos far exceeded that of the first emperor and Taizu. There are too many accidents after the concubines are pregnant, and the troubles are endless during childbirth. At the beginning, the concubine was so capable, it wasn't that she had a difficult birth and almost had an accident.

Now Ye's birth is slow, but it has been smooth and smooth. This is all thanks to Empress Xiao, who was confined to the Changxin Palace at this time, sick and in a desperate situation, since she moved the Ye family to her own palace, she regarded the child in Ye's belly as her own child, and was planning to recognize her as an adopted son. Empress Xiao was holding such a treasure in her hand, and she couldn't be more careful, and wrapped the Ye family into an iron bucket to protect it in the middle. From pregnancy to childbirth, the only danger that the Ye family experienced was the scourge of witchcraft - that matter was made up by Empress Xiao herself.

But in the end, when the Ye family was really about to be born, Empress Xiao fell. I have to say that Queen Xiao was too unlucky this time, she put so much effort into making wedding dresses for others.

Takubahiro waited from afternoon to dusk. At this time, no one has the heart to have dinner, and Tuoba Hong simply doesn't pass it on. Yao Fusheng had no choice but to go to the Shangshi Bureau and bring a box of melons and fruits, cut them one by one and distribute them to the masters, at least at the bottom.

Concubine Jing stared at the curtain of the inner room with a pair of eyes, and she was expected to feel like she wanted to wear through it. After staring at it like this for a long time, she was so hungry that she couldn't do it, she put a melon in her mouth and ate it, turned her head to the emperor and said, "Why don't you go back first!" The previous dynasty was busy with government affairs, and it would not be good to delay political affairs. ”

As soon as the current Tuoba Hong mentioned the previous dynasty, he remembered the poor Prime Minister Zuo, and his heart sighed, and he said to Concubine Jing with haha: "It's okay." The previous dynasty was a major event, and Ye's production was even more related to the community, and it was not allowed to be sloppy. I am here to watch over her, waiting for her good news. ”

"Then the emperor should close his eyes and rest for a while, the concubines are afraid that the emperor will be tired." Concubine Jing's voice is very soft, and she sounds like a virtuous and caring helper. She watched the emperor lean on the soft couch and close her eyes to recuperate, and then got up and squeezed the emperor's shoulder.
