Chapter 013: Sealing the King

"The emperor has arrived." Father-in-law Liu's familiar voice sounded again.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty~" Three delicate or tactful or crisp voices sounded at the same time, accompanied by a delicate "oops" in the middle.

"What's wrong with Precious Concubine?" The emperor's voice was steady, and he couldn't hear his emotions.

The delicate voice sounded, mixed with a trace of imperceptible grievances: "Your Majesty, the concubines, the concubines, the concubines, and the sister Qiu have come to greet the queen mother, the queen mother is discussing medical theory with General Lu's wife, and the concubines are waiting under this corridor." ”

When the queen heard this, a contemptuous smile appeared on her face: "It's really not too crooked to come and go for such reasons." ”

Qin Ranran lowered her head and didn't want to talk much, so she listened to Emperor Deqing's still steady voice: "Since the queen is busy, you can wait." Lu Qing, let's go in and have a look. ”

Lu Cheng'an responded, and gave another salute to the precious concubine and others, followed behind Emperor Deqing, and walked towards the main hall of Changchun Palace.

When the precious concubine heard Emperor Deqing's words, she simply gritted her silver teeth, why did Your Majesty protect that old and decrepit woman like this?

Seeing that she didn't speak again, Qiu Guiren coughed lightly behind her.

The precious concubine came back to her senses in an instant, and suddenly remembered what she was going to say, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, the concubine came this time, in fact, there is still something unclear, and I want to ask the queen mother for advice." ”

The queen couldn't hold back any longer, and walked out of the inner room: "Your Majesty, you are here." And when he spoke, he bowed blessedly.

Emperor Deqing took a few steps forward and picked up the queen: "Ah Sheng, don't come with me these false gifts." ”

Qin Ranran finished her salute steadily and stood silently on the side. Lu Chengan moved a few steps silently and stopped beside her.

The queen sat down on the chair with Emperor Deqing, looked at the three precious concubines standing in the hall, and asked with a decent smile: "Precious concubine, just now you said that you had something to ask about the palace, I don't know what it is?" ”

The precious concubine finished saluting the queen seriously before saying: "The concubine has only heard rumors, although the rumors cannot be believed, but the reputation of the queen mother is not good for the queen mother, and the concubine has the courage to ask the queen mother." ”

"General Lu is a foreign minister, and he goes out in the harem all day long, especially the Changchun Palace of the queen's mother......"

Lu Chengan raised his head when he heard this, glanced at the precious concubine out of the corner of his eye, and then turned to the emperor and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister has entered and exited Changchun Palace twice, once to thank Your Majesty, and today is the second time, why come and go in and out all day?" Please also ask the concubine Niangniang not to ask people to be the same. ”

Qin Ranran also knelt on the ground with her, but didn't say much.

As soon as Concubine Precious was about to speak, Emperor Deqing interrupted her: "Okay, you yourself said it was a rumor, who said the rumor?" Isn't it what those women in the market use to chew the root of their tongues? You actually took it out and said it here! ”

When the precious concubine heard that Emperor Deqing compared her to a woman in the market, her face turned pale, and her body couldn't help shaking.

"Your Majesty, there are many rumors about this, and it is detrimental to the reputation of the queen!" The precious concubine bit her lower lip and blessed her body.

"Since you know that Empress Yu's reputation is damaged, and you are in the position of a noble concubine, why don't you protect the queen's reputation and severely punish these tongue-chewing people, and still talk nonsense here!" Emperor Deqing sank his face and shouted loudly.

The precious concubine's blessed body directly turned into kneeling, and her body trembled a little: "Your Majesty, the queen mother and General Lu are like this, after all, Yu etiquette does not match!" ”

"Bang!" The best azure Ruyao tea cup smashed on the side of the precious concubine, and the tea splashed on the skirt of the precious concubine, revealing dark traces one by one.

Concubine Shu and Qiu Guiren also hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Lu Qing was brought here by me, and the tea ceremony is also what I said, to be in Changchun Palace, are you accusing Yu of not knowing etiquette!" Emperor Deqing pointed at the precious concubine's fingers and trembled, "I know that you are in a hurry when you give birth to a son, will I still treat my son badly?" As long as the boss is safe and stable, the official, and the Yulu, I will not lose him! ”

"Bangs, herald. The precious concubine Sun, regardless of the royal decency, does not think about her responsibilities in her position, and is confined to the Cunfang Palace from today, and she is not allowed to go out of her will, so she will copy a few copies of Buddhist scriptures for me to meditate! ”

"Your Majesty, concubine ......" The precious concubine hurriedly stood up, still wanting to argue.

Emperor Deqing didn't give her a chance to speak, he interrupted the precious concubine's argument again in a deep voice: "Liu Hai, continue to pass the decree, the emperor's eldest son Xingjun, calm and moderate, act upright, and read that in the year when he has passed the weak crown, he is specially named the pure king, and the pure palace is given, and Yulu is equivalent to a first-class duke." The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day for the canonization ceremony. ”

Hearing the first few words, the precious concubine looked happy and raised her head directly, but when she heard the last few words, her face suddenly fell, and her originally delicate and charming face seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden.

Her back softened suddenly, and she collapsed to the ground, muttering blankly in her eyes: "Pure King ......"

"Concubine Shu, you can take someone to bring the precious concubine back and settle down properly."

"Yes, yes." Concubine Shu's tone trembled, and she beckoned the big girl beside her to pick up the precious concubine and walked out tremblingly.

There was silence in the hall.

"Bang Qiu, soak the stone frankincense that His Majesty rewarded the day before yesterday, and bring it to Mrs. Lu to taste." The queen opened her mouth with a smile and broke the silence, "Your Majesty has had breakfast, the concubine asked the small kitchen to make chicken soup and noodles, do you want a bowl of it?" ”

"Oh? Ah Sheng, you have been a vegetarian for the past few years, why did you eat chicken soup noodles today? When Emperor Deqing heard this, he was a little surprised.

The queen looked at Qin Ranran and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu checked the pulse of the concubine, and said that the concubine is weak, so it is best to suspend vegetarianism and eat some chicken soup and beef every day." ”

Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction: "It's still the Qin clan that has a way, if I say you, you won't listen." ”

The queen turned sideways and whispered a few words in Emperor Deqing's ear, and Emperor Deqing's face flashed with ecstasy, and he grabbed the queen's hand: "Ah Sheng, what you said is true?" ”

The queen replied with a smile: "The concubines dare not deceive the emperor." ”

Emperor Deqing laughed: "Okay! Good! ”

Lu Chengan and Qin Ranran glanced at each other, knowing that the queen had told Emperor Deqing about her pregnancy, and they were both relieved.

Emperor Deqing knew about this, and everything was much easier to take precautions.

"Qin, since the queen can trust you, I will hand over the matter of diagnosing the queen's pulse and conditioning her body, you are just helping the queen to regulate her body, you know?" Emperor Deqing did not hide his joy and admonished Qin Ranran.

Qin Ranran's blessing: "The concubine understands that the queen mother has been weak recently, and the concubine has a little medical science, so she prescribes a few prescriptions to regulate the queen's mother." ”

"Bangs, herald."

"General Pingxi temporarily took the position of commander with a knife in front of the emperor, and gave the Qin clan three orders."

"You two are very good, I won't praise you, just pass the decree."

There was an uproar in the front and harem.

After a morning's hard work, a noble concubine was grounded, and the eldest son of the emperor completely lost the opportunity to chase the big treasure, and there was one more pure king.

General Pingxi, who was in the limelight, received the most face-saving position in front of the emperor, and his wife also received an edict.

And the tea cup of Pingxi Hou's Mansion has also been replaced......
