On the second day, Jiang Che was still in the palace to discuss with Xie Qi's ministers, and Guan Lisheng came in and said, "Your Majesty, Aunt An Ran of Fengyi Pavilion is here, saying that she has something important to tell the emperor." ”

Xie Qi already knew what was going on, so he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Che.

Jiang Che's face was as usual, and he said, "Let her go back, and I'll talk about it when I'm done dealing with political affairs." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Guan Lisheng retreated, and Jiang Che continued, "The candidate for the general, what do you think ......?"

The conversation of "The Emperor's ......" was interrupted again by Guan Lisheng. Jiang Che's face was gloomy, and he said, "Guan Lisheng, do you feel that you don't want to put your head on your neck today?" ”

Guan Li Sheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is really Aunt An Ran who has something extremely important to tell the emperor, otherwise the servants will not dare to disturb the emperor." ”

Seeing this, Xie Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this Aunt An Ran must have come because of the queen." She has always been a polite person, and this time she is willing to take the risk of displeasing the emperor to see the emperor, the matter must be a little serious, the emperor might as well see him. ”

Several other ministers also said, "The emperor might as well see him." ”

Jiang Che said, "Guan Lisheng, bring people in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon An Ran walked in and knelt down in front of Jiang Che, "Slave and maid see the emperor." ”

Jiang Che didn't seem to have much patience and asked directly, "Just say something about it." ”

An Ran raised his head slightly and said, "Yes." The slave maid came this time to tell the emperor that the queen mother was already pregnant with a dragon heir. ”

"What?" Jiang Che frowned, except for some surprise, he couldn't see the slightest joy.

An Ran was not surprised by Jiang Che's reaction, but continued to say indifferently, "The queen mother has been feeling a little unwell these days, so she called the imperial doctor to see her in the morning. The imperial doctor checked the pulse and determined that the queen mother had been pregnant for more than two months. ”

Jiang Che still didn't have any joy.

Xie Qi took the lead and knelt down, "Weichen congratulates the emperor, Weichen congratulates the emperor." ”

Several other ministers also immediately knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." ”

Jiang Che glanced at the group of people kneeling in front of him, and his tone was light, "Okay, I know, you can step back first." ”

Xie Qi and several ministers looked at each other, this is gone? Got it, step back first? At this time, shouldn't the emperor personally go to Fengyi Pavilion to visit?

The friendship between the emperor and the queen should have eased because of this child. It seems that the emperor doesn't buy it!

Xie Qi was worried that Jiang Che was suspicious, so he said, "Your Majesty, as for the candidate for the general, the ministers and a few others can discuss it again, and then report it to the emperor for the emperor's reference." At this time, the emperor might as well move to Fengyi Pavilion and visit the queen. ”

Jiang Che glanced at Xie Qi coldly and said, "When will I listen to the Prime Minister's arrangement?" ”

Xie Qi hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Guan Lisheng whispered, "The emperor is also tired from the morning to the present, so it is better to rest for a while." These ministers may also have a dry mouth, so it is better to go to the side hall to drink some tea. ”

Jiang Che also glanced at Guan Lisheng, who took a step back and said no more.

Jiang Che glanced at the person in front of him again, and then got up and said, "Okay, the ministers may be tired, then this matter will be discussed tomorrow, and you all go down." ”

Xie Qi was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that Jiang Che was going to visit Xie Lingrong, so he withdrew with the other ministers.

"Let's go." Jiang Che took a few steps forward and greeted Guan Lisheng.

Guan Li Sheng Xi said, "Your Majesty, is this going to Fengyi Pavilion?" ”

Jiang Che said, "No, go to Concubine Yan." ”

Guan Lisheng was stunned, but he could only keep up with Jiang Che's pace, but he turned his head to look at An Ran, shook his head slightly, and expressed helplessness.

Seeing them leaving, An Ran got up and went back to Fengyi Pavilion.

"The concubine knocked on the emperor, why did the emperor come to the concubine at this time?" Ruan Shunhua saw Jiang Che suddenly arrive, and was a little puzzled for a while.

Jiang Che walked to the soft couch and sat down, and said, "What, I'm not happy to come to you?" ”

Ruan Shunhua hurriedly smiled and said, "How dare the concubine?" The concubines are looking forward to the emperor's arrival, but the emperor has every opportunity, and the time to come to the concubines is limited after all. What's more, the concubine had already heard about the queen's mother. ”

Jiang Che raised his eyes to look at Ruan Shunhua and said, "The news spread quickly, and you know it so quickly." Why, are you unhappy because of this? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare."

"Come and give me a leg beat, I feel a little sore." Jiang Che half-leaned on the soft couch and beckoned to Ruan Shunhua.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ruan Shunhua stepped forward obediently and beat Jiang Che's leg.

Jiang Che asked as if unintentionally, "On the day I left the palace on the first day of the new year, I heard that you also left the palace." ”

Ruan Shunhua's hand paused for a moment, and then naturally replied, "The concubine went to the princess's mansion." ”

Jiang Che didn't speak, Ruan Shunhua raised his eyes and asked, "But the emperor is angry?" The concubine just thanked the eldest princess, so she went to the princess's mansion to have a look. ”

Jiang Che stretched out his hand and stroked Ruan Shunhua's cheek and said, "There are so many people who remember my aunt's goodness, I should be happy." When you go to the princess's mansion, I don't feel inappropriate, but I feel relieved. You're a man who knows how to repay your kindness. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment. However, Your Majesty, guess who the concubine met when she went to the princess's mansion? ”

"Who?"

"Shen Lian. Previous......"

"I know this person." Jiang Che quickly interrupted Ruan Shunhua's words, "How did you meet him?" ”

Ruan Shunhua said, "Actually, if he doesn't say it, the concubines won't know him." Later, when I talked about it, I realized that it was him. He also came to see the eldest princess, and the concubine saw that his eyes were red, and she must also miss the eldest princess. The concubine felt that this person was very affectionate and righteous. ”

"Hmph." Jiang Che snorted coldly, "If you value love and righteousness, how can you let down your aunt and marry Xie Qi's daughter directly." If it is love and righteousness, how can he do such a thing after becoming an official. ”

Ruan Shunhua said, "The concubines don't know about the affairs of the imperial court. I don't know about him as an official, let alone that he is now the prime minister's son-in-law. But listening to his tone, it seems that because someone is jealous that he is the prime minister's son-in-law, he deliberately embarrassed him and blamed him. Helpless, he had nowhere to redress his grievances, so he could only fall at home. ”

"Nowhere to redress? Isn't he going to his father-in-law? ”

The concubine asked about this matter. But he doesn't seem to think much of the prime minister's personality, so he doesn't want to go to him. That day, it seemed that because of a quarrel with the prime minister, he came out of the prime minister's mansion angrily. He seems to have moved out of the prime minister's mansion with his wife early. The concubine knew that the emperor didn't like the prime minister's behavior very much, and if he and the prime minister were the same kind of person, the concubine wouldn't mention him much, so as not to make the emperor unhappy. ”

Jiang Che looked at Ruan Shunhua suspiciously, and said, "You really rarely say so much for a person in front of me. ”

Ruan Shunhua hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand, lifted his skirt and knelt down, and said, "It's the concubine who is too talkative." ”

Jiang Che helped Ruan Shunhua to her feet, pulled her to sit beside her, held her hand in his hand, and said, "You don't have to be nervous. I just think that you have always been a demure character, willing to say so much for him, and it seems that he is indeed a person who values love and righteousness, as you say. In addition, he was also a person admired by his aunt at the beginning, and he must not be a mediocre person. It's just that I was still young and didn't know much about the original incident, so I might have misunderstood him. ”

"The emperor is clear. In fact, the concubine is also because of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and when she sees him, she is always a little sad. I always feel that if the eldest princess is here, maybe she will also support him. ”

"You're so kind-hearted, Concubine Yan. I will take this matter to heart, and at the right time, I will summon him and see for myself what kind of person he really is. ”

"Concubine Xie Emperor."

Jiang Che's eyes fell on the half of the arrow feather on the wall, Ruan Shunhua followed his line of sight and said with relief, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has already died, the emperor should not worry too much and hurt his dragon body." If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess knew, she would definitely feel distressed. ”

Jiang Che retracted his gaze, smiled at Ruan Shunhua, and said, "Only you would say such things to persuade me." Okay, I won't stay with you for long, presumably the ministers know that I didn't go to Fengyi Pavilion, and I have already exploded. I still have to go now, and I'll listen to the queen when I get there. ”

Ruan Shunhua got up, blessed himself and said, "That concubine sends the emperor." ”

Jiang Che got up, rolled up his sleeves, and called Guan Lisheng, "Guan Lisheng, set up Fengyi Pavilion." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Jiang Che striding away, Cui'er stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, didn't you tell the slave last time that the women in this harem will not be pregnant with a dragon heir?" Why is this queen ......?"

Ruan Shunhua was also puzzled, and said, "This palace doesn't know what's going on from the emperor. This matter needs to be investigated. ”

Cui'er said, "If the queen is really pregnant with the dragon heir, it will be very unfavorable to the mother!" Although the emperor did not go directly to Fengyi Pavilion, he came to Niangniang. But in the end, I still went. ”

Ruan Shunhua nodded, "You're right. In the past, relying on the identity of the eldest princess, and the harem concubines were not pregnant with dragon heirs, the palace can be favored alone. But now, it's different. The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and now that she is pregnant with the dragon heir, she can be in the middle of the day again, and the palace has no capital to fight with her. ”

Cui'er said worriedly, "What are you going to do?" The emperor became a father for the first time, and the mood was needless to say, the slave was worried that the emperor would not come to Niangniang much in the future. The relationship between him and the queen may be able to break the ice. ”

Ruan Shunhua said, "This matter is urgent. However, the palace has a plan, and it can directly worship the queen. It's just that before that, this palace has to get rid of a hidden danger first. ”

"Niangniang is talking about Linlang?"

"Not bad. Cui'er, you spread the news in the palace, and said that the queen was pregnant with a dragon heir, and Concubine Yan had fallen out of favor. ”

"Yes, mother, the slave will do it."
