On August 12, Emperor Yong'an named Zhu Fangfei as a beautiful woman and gave her the dream of Zhuxuan in the Palace of Forgetting Worries.

Zhu Fangfei became the third person in Empress Zhu's palace to climb onto the dragon bed.

Mengzhu this flower has a special meaning to the Dashun Dynasty, from its name, it is not difficult to think that this Mengzhuxuan was a very prosperous place in the beginning.

It is said that when the Dashun harem was first built, this dream bamboo xuan existed. At that time, it was the former residence of Empress Zhuang, an empress who was very fond of Emperor Taizu of Dashun.

When Queen Zhuang first entered the palace, she was named Zhuang Cairen, and lived in this dream bamboo Xuan for more than three years, and then gave birth to a princess and promoted to Zhuang Concubine. On the concubine position, another prince was born and was directly promoted to Concubine Zhuang. Later, in the twilight years of Taizu, with a body of nearly forty, he gave birth to the youngest princess of Taizu for Taizu, and was promoted to Zhuang Guifei.

Empress Zhuang is the only concubine in the harem of Dashun who has given birth to three imperial heirs. Empress Zhuang's biological mother is also an exceptional lady who has been named the second grade, and she can be exempted from courtesy and not kneel when she meets the emperor.

Queen Zhuang had a glorious life, but her temperament was extremely gentle. Therefore, after her immortal death, Taizu issued a decree to posthumously crown her as the queen and allow her to be buried in the emperor's mausoleum and buried with the emperor.

If the queen dies first, her body can be buried in the emperor's mausoleum, and the emperor will be buried with the emperor after a hundred years. If the emperor dies first, the tombstone will fall on the emperor's tombstone. After the death of the queen, she can only be buried in the back mausoleum to show her humility and respect.

Queen Zhuang has been favored all her life, and she has been blessed with grace after her death. When Zhu Fangfei was choosing the palace, she deliberately asked Queen Zhu for this Mengzhuxuan, which inevitably made people feel that her heart was not pure.

Fang Meiren moved into Mengzhuxuan, and the most uneasy thing in her heart was the butterfly beauty who lived next to her and was already pregnant with the heir of the April dragon. So on the second day when Fang Meiren moved into Mengzhuxuan, Die Meiren asked Huan'er to prepare two gifts. The thin one was sent to congratulate Fang Meiren on the joy of being named a palace concubine during the day. The heavy one is to take it personally in the middle of the night when there is no one, and marry Jinlan with Fang Meiren.

This kind of method is easy for Butterfly Beauty to use. Sure enough, within three days, when Fang Meiren saw her again, she could already call out Sister Butterfly, and her intimacy was fully revealed.

Butterfly Beauty is four months pregnant, and Wancai is also more than four months pregnant.

Lingxi still had some energy to take care of Wancai when she was not pregnant, but now that Lingxi has this one in her belly, she has no time to deal with it, and she has no spare time to take care of Wancai.

Fortunately, Xia Han is a thoughtful person, and every day he tells the lotus leaf everything in the Lanyu Pavilion. The lotus leaf picked up the big one in those sesame grains and returned to the spirit rhino, so as to avoid the fatigue of the spirit rhino.

When Lingxi was pale and lay on the bamboo couch and heard the name Duo Meiren again, he directly threw out the jade Ruyi in his hand.

Xiao Dezi was in a hurry, and hurriedly pounced to pick it up. It's a pity that it was still a step too late, and Yu Ruyi fell to the ground and shattered into four halves, and he couldn't fight back if he wanted to.

"What a bad guy!" Lingxi frowned and said angrily, "I bothered to take care of her, to take care of the dragon heir in her womb, but she always put herself in danger!" What kind of thing is that beauty, I have already mentioned her, why did she believe in the beauty as if she was fascinated? ”

Qiaozhu fell to his knees with a puff, and persuaded Lingxi while fanning him, "Niangniang, don't be angry with your body." The good and bad words of you have been mentioned, and Wancai people don't know how to do it like this, no matter how angry you are, you are also embarrassed. ”

Xiao Dezi also knelt down and said to Lingxi, "Master, your body is not a little angry now. In the past two months, how you have prepared for the talented people are all seen in your eyes and remembered in your hearts. But Wancai people don't miss your kindness......"

"Mother, it's not good to be a slave." Lotus Ye also knelt down and blamed herself, "The slave shouldn't come to talk to you about these things to make you angry." Niangniang, you are now pregnant with a dragon heir, and you must take care of your body. ”

Lingxi was so angry that his body trembled, and his heart panicked.

If this was in the past, Lingxi would not care about the life and death of Wancai, but now Emperor Yong'an has pressed the dragon heir in the womb of Wancai and Wancai on Lingxi's body, if something happens to Wancai, how can Emperor Yong'an not blame her in his heart?

Lingxi's current situation, where can he still afford to blame Emperor Yong'an?

Hanyan walked in from outside, and saw that the three of them were kneeling, and a jade Ruyi was broken on the ground, and he knelt down with a pop.

Lingxi looked at the smoke and said helplessly, "If you have something, say it." ”

"Niangniang, Doctor Shi has come to ask for peace pulse." Smoke carefully replied.

Lingxi is good to slaves on weekdays, and rarely gets angry. But if the minion really did something wrong, Lingxi would directly let the minions be sent to the violent room and beaten to death with sticks, without even giving them a chance to distinguish.

Therefore, the minions in the Lingyan Hall said that they were talking, laughing and laughing, but the rules were all kept tightly, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Lingxi put away his anger, sighed, and said to the servants who knelt on the ground, "Get up, pack up, and invite Imperial Doctor Shi to come in." ”

Lotus Ye hurriedly took a handkerchief and carefully picked up the broken jade Ruyi, Qiaozhu moved a small round stool and placed it next to Lingxi's bamboo couch, and Xiao Dezi went directly out of the inner hall with Hanyan.

After a while, Doctor Shi was brought in. After greeting Lingxi, he sat on the small round stool and checked Lingxi's pulse.

Lotus Ye stood beside Lingxi, and from time to time told Doctor Shi what Lingxi had eaten this day, how long he had slept, where he was uncomfortable, and so on.

Doctor Shi listened, asked, and prescribed a prescription for Lingxi to stabilize the fetus.

After handing the recipe to the lotus leaf, Doctor Shi said, "Niangniang has been impetuous, maybe it is the hot summer relationship. You can put less ice cubes in the hall to go to the heat, as long as the appropriate amount is beneficial to the mother's body. ”

"Is it okay to eat anything on ice?" Lotus asked again.

"Don't eat ice for now." Doctor Shi said, "I'm afraid that my mother's body is weak, and I can't stand it......"

Lingxi listened to Taiyi Shi and Lotus Ye's careful instructions, and asked Taiyi Shi, "Taiyi Shi, do you think there is anything wrong with this baby in this palace?" ”

Imperial Physician Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't be too careful. Niangniang's reaction to the joy this time has a lot to do with the hot weather this year......"

"But how did this palace hear that Wancai, Butterfly, and Yijieyu are not like this palace?"

"Niangniang, this person has a different physique. Niangniang's body is already weak, and you were conceived less than a year after giving birth to the fifth prince, which will inevitably have some impact. Doctor Shi was relieved, "Don't think nonsense, you must raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

Lingxi nodded after hearing this, and asked Qiaozhu to send it out after rewarding.

Seeing Lotus Ye standing carefully beside him, he said to Lotus Leaf, "Lotus Leaf, do you know where to put my jewelry box?" ”

Lotus nodded.

"Go and bring the box, and don't let anyone see it."

On August 15 of the seventh year of Yong'an, the royal garden viewing platform was a family banquet. Except for Cao Guifei, who was being grounded, all the concubines were present, even Concubine Ren, who had just recovered from a long illness, also attended in full costume, and sat with Concubine Ying on the left and right under Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu.

Lingxi was wearing a flame-colored wide-waisted Luo skirt, with her head tied in a Ruyi bun, except for a hairpin with a branch from the third grade hairpin on the left bun, only a few hairpins with a new and ingenious style of bead flowers.

Concubine Yu sat under Lingxi's hand, and a handsome seventeen-year-old girl sat on the low round stool beside her. That girl is the real one, the daughter born to the aunt who was corrected by Yu Concubine, named Yu Lu'er.

Lingxi looked at it a few times when he was drinking with Yu Concubine, and his temperament and appearance were not as good as Yu Lingruo's, no wonder this young lady was destined to enter the palace to beg, but in the end it was the real Miss Yu Lingruo.

Concubine Yu saw Lingxi looking at Yu Lu'er, got up and sat on Lingxi's seat, and whispered to Lingxi, "She was born in the same year as Lingruo, so she has grown up with Lingruo since she was a child." It's a pity that the concubines were all raised by my grandparents, and the concubines could only learn the rules from the aunts in each room, which must not be compared. Later, her mother helped her to straighten up, but her grandmother still didn't take her with her......"

"There's so much going on in your family." Lingxi ordered the lotus leaf to add a piece of chopsticks to Concubine Yu, and said to the concubine, "If you leave her there like this, aren't you afraid that she will hate you?" ”

Concubine Yu ate a glass of wine, leaned on Lingxi's ear and laughed, "I have been a mustard since I was a child, don't I lose her there, and she won't hate me?" ”

Lingxi smelled the smell of wine coming out of Yu Concubine's mouth, and covered her mouth and wanted to vomit. But because of the place at this time, I can only endure it.

Seeing that Lingxi was uncomfortable, Concubine Yu took her own wine glass and stood up, and said to Lingxi, "You are uncomfortable, I won't trouble you, so as not to spit on me." ”

Lingxi stretched out his hand and pinched the armpit of the concubine, and the concubine smiled and returned to her seat.

Xian Guifei sat on top of Lingxi, and when she saw that Lingxi was uncomfortable, she poured a bowl of warm vegetarian soup for Lingxi, and said, "Drink something quickly and press it, it must be the wine on Concubine Yu's body." ”

Lingxi took the soup in Xiang'er's hand, picked up the spoon and took a sip. As soon as the warm soup reached the tip of his tongue, before he reached his throat, Lingxi's stomach swelled again.

Lingxi turned his back and couldn't help but spit out the soup into the bowl with a mouthful of sour water. Afraid of being seen by Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, Lingxi hurriedly ordered the lotus leaf to go out and pour it. Turning his head with a white face, he covered his chest and said to the noble concubine who was half a battle away, "Sister, this time I am very happy......

"Why didn't you let the Imperial Doctor think of a prescription for you?" Xian Guifei asked with concern.

Lingxi shook his head and replied in a weak voice, "Imperial Doctor Shi said that this is a normal phenomenon, and it will be fine after four months. There are still two months left, so I'll bear with it. ”

"You, you can't let yourself live in peace." There was some blame in the tone of the noble concubine, "It's clear that the body is not good, but you still have to ......"

The latter words are not said by the noble concubine, because it is a big sin to say it.

Lingxi smiled awkwardly, and the pain in her heart didn't know how to say to Xian Guifei. She didn't know if she had told Xian Gui Concubine that all the evidence of the smallpox was pointing to herself instead of Butterfly Beauty, and Xian Gui Concubine would hate herself to death.

On the main throne, Emperor Yong'an watched the song and dance, and said to Empress Zhu with a light smile, "I remember that the last time the big seal was five years old. It's been two years now......"

"It was two years ago, when all the sisters were promoted to the first level." Empress Zhu leaned over slightly, smiled and asked, "What does the emperor mean...... Another promotion? ”

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand at Empress Zhu and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have always rewarded meritorious ministers." The ministers of the previous dynasty were rewarded according to their political achievements and virtues. The concubines of the harem are according to their heirs. Since Taizu, he is a person who has an imperial heir to be qualified to occupy the throne of the first house. Of course, there are some exceptions, but the truth remains the same. Concubines, only those who give birth to heirs are qualified concubines. ”

Empress Zhu smiled and listened to Emperor Yong'an's words, nodded and said, "What the emperor said is very true. Now there are four concubines in the harem who are pregnant with dragon heirs, in order they are Ying Concubine, Yi Jieyu, Butterfly Beauty and Wancai. If you talk about the lintel, it is naturally Yijieyu who is the highest, followed by the butterfly beauty......"

"Regardless of the lintel." Emperor Yong'an interrupted Empress Zhu's words, "I said, the concubines in the harem, regardless of the lintel, only talk about the heirs. ”

"That," Empress Zhu knew in her heart, and said according to Emperor Yong'an's words, "That is the highest credit of Concubine Ying." Concubine Ying has given birth to five princes, if another prince is born this time, it will be really a blessing for the emperor and a blessing for the Dashun Dynasty. ”

"The queen knows my heart very well!" Emperor Yong'an smiled heartily and said to Empress Zhu, "I think so, if Concubine Ying gave birth to a princess this time, then I will make her a noble concubine, if she is a prince, then I will promote her to Concubine Ying, does the queen think it is good?" ”

"If Concubine Ying can really give birth to a prince, then she is a meritorious minister of the Dashun Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to seal the concubine." Empress Zhu smiled brightly, the gold ornaments on her head glittered in the candlelight, "There are many sisters in the harem, but there are no who may have given birth to two imperial heirs." As the first person, Concubine Ying has this blessing. ”

Emperor Yong'an looked at Empress Zhu's smiling face and whispered to Empress Zhu, "The first person in this harem to give birth to two imperial heirs for me is the queen, and the queen has the greatest credit. The position of the concubine, the concubine can't afford it. ”

Empress Zhu's cheeks were red by the red candles burning on the viewing platform, and she raised her glass to Emperor Yongan and smiled, "Your Majesty, the concubines give you a ......."
