Chapter 922: Shizi

When the emperor returned to the capital with Hongluan and others, the power of the autumn tiger made everyone feel like they were back in the hot summer; However, Hongluan and the emperor are in a very good mood, the palace is already very calm, and it is a bit of home here, and it really makes people miss it a little.

When he returned to the Qinglu Palace, Hongluan slept a lot, and slept until the sun rose high the next day, but his body was still sore because of the fatigue of the boat; She looked at Liu Er on the bed: "I'm so tired, aren't you tired?" What to do so early, you should sleep a little longer. ”

Liu Er smiled and shook her head: "We didn't get up early. Just now, the ancient father-in-law sent someone to send the news, and today someone wrote against the establishment of Niangniang, and some people in the court also echoed it; The emperor didn't say anything, but moved on to other things. ”

"It's okay to talk about other things, and besides, I'm not fit to be canonized now." Hongluan stroked his stomach: "It's good to wait until the child is born before canonization." She reached out and took the bowl to eat: "Have you eaten?" What's going on in the palace? ”

"The palace is peaceful, many people came early in the morning to say goodbye, Concubine Hui also came and walked with Fang Zhaorong, Concubine Xian came and said that she just looked at Niangniang, and it was going to be late afternoon when she came back to see Niangniang; Xian Guifei Niangniang complained, there were too many things in this palace, she was a little unbearable, and wanted Niangniang to find her a helper. ”

Hongluan thought about it and said, "Let Yu Wanyi help, others really can't believe it." Even if you don't have two minds at the moment, it's hard to say in the future. "Now that her body is getting heavier and heavier, most of the things in the palace are handed over to Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian is not the temperament of Concubine Rou, and she is very impatient with the big and small things in the palace, but she is barely supported for the sake of Hongluan.

Because there is one less concubine in the palace, and the queen mother has become the queen concubine, living in a small courtyard and can't see people, almost everyone stopped and lived in peace after seeing that Concubine Li didn't leave the door of her bedroom. This also saved Xian Guifei and Yu Wanyi a lot of effort.

Of course, the outer court is not as calm as in the palace, and the emperor is busy every day, but on the surface it seems to be calm and clear; But Hongluan hasn't seen Commander Meng for a long time, and even Manager Liu doesn't see him every day: the two of them are the emperor's henchmen, and of course they have something to do.

Hongluan can't help much in the affairs of the court, even if she wants to help, she is powerless now, and she can only stay in the room to raise the baby with a big belly. Time slipped by in peace, the imperial concubine came to accompany Hongluan every once in a while, and every time she couldn't help but listen to the movements of the child in Hongluan's belly, it could be seen that she really liked the child.

When the end of autumn arrives, the leaves on the trees change color, and the scenery in the palace is different from summer but also has a unique style: some of the leaves are golden and golden, and some are red like fire, which will not make the palace concubines too lonely.

Hongluan sat on the chair and looked at the imperial doctor who asked for the pulse of Concubine Xian: "How is it?" ”

"Minister, there is nothing you can do." The imperial physician kowtowed and stepped back to plead guilty.

Concubine Xian's face was pale, and the emperor's face was extremely unsightly, and Yu Wanyi's cold face was unbearable; It turned out that when Concubine Xian did not enter the palace, she should have been destined to have children for the emperor: I don't know if it was deliberately done by her mother-in-law, who had been fed by cold food for many years, she had been invaded by the cold and hurt too much, and there was no hope of being able to sit on the fetus in this life.

Hongluan looked at Xian Guifei and said hurriedly: "There is no other way? ”

"Nope." The Imperial Doctor is very honest, but also cruel.

Concubine Xian's tears still fell after all, but she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a great blessing now." "Her biological mother has already made proper arrangements, and the emperor specially issued a decree to seal the Lady of the Decree, and no one in the Zhao family dares to bully her half a point from then on; As for her, as a pawn sent to the palace by her mother-in-law, she had long expected that her mother-in-law would have a backhand, and she would not let her rise in the palace like this; It's just that I didn't expect my mother's methods to be so ruthless.

The emperor stroked his palm hatefully: "It's just looking for death." ”

Hongluan glanced at him to appease Concubine Xian, and Yu Wanyi and the emperor left Qingle Palace, looked back and shook their heads, but after all, nothing was said; It can't be considered a bad thing for her that Concubine Xian can't be born, but for this palace concubine who has helped her until now, she really can't harden her heart and only calculate the benefits and losses.

Yu Wanyi spoke: "It's not a good thing. It is a good thing to have more children, but it is not necessarily for the royal family. Her words fell into the emperor's ears and reminded him of King Fu, King Kang, and his Uncle Hui.

Hongluan thought about it: "No one can help themselves, what do children know, and what will they do later, they are not taught?" She didn't mention Xian Guifei again, so as not to upset the emperor.

Concubine Xian had no directors for a few days, and Yu Wanyi was busy, but when Hongluan was about to give birth, she couldn't go to Hongluan, so she could only go to a few concubines to help.

In the middle of the night, the pain of Bonus Luan came, but it lasted for a day and a night before giving birth to her first child, a girl. This news made many people in the palace feel a little sorry, but it also made many extremely happy.

Hongluan, who was half tired and died, kissed her daughter's little face and fell asleep, and the emperor who rushed in didn't even have time to look at it, because she was really exhausted; She was thinking of a daughter, so she fell asleep with a slight smile on her lips.

The congratulatory messages in the palace continued, and Hongluan gave birth to a daughter, which also made many people in the court greatly relieved: if a son is really born and the emperor decrees that he should be established as the crown prince, it is logical to establish Hongluan as the queen; In addition, there is no half a sentence in the six Shangshu, and now he is like a mouse who sees a cat in front of the emperor, but God does not favor the martial family, and it is destined that the martial family will not be able to produce a second queen.

Princess Hui packed up her things and entered the palace to congratulate, she thought it was just a matter of a few words, but it happened that when she entered the palace, she met King Fu, and King Fu had something to hand over Princess Han and the child to Princess Hui to take care of one or two and then left quickly, Princess Hui had to go to Qinglu Palace with Han.

Although she gave birth to a princess, she was still jubilant in the Qinglu Palace, and someone had already reported that Princess Hui and the Han family had entered the inner room together; Because Han and Hongluan were good friends, it was natural for them to stay for the banquet and Princess Hui was a companion.

Princess Hui wanted to leave, but she was defeated by the words of Hongluan and Han, and finally stayed. During the banquet, Hongluan and Han's boasted from time to time that Princess Hui would teach the children, and the two of them had to discuss how to raise their children as soon as they became mothers, and the three of them chatted happily.

"The second son Zuxing is a good one, I have heard people mention it in the past few days, saying that it is very good at kung fu immediately, and the art of war has been praised by the veterans of the DPRK and China; The princess is really willing for him to go out to practice, although it is said that boys should be beaten and beaten, but Zu Xing is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has not married. Hongluan smiled and leaned on the pillow to look at Princess Hui: "But how can Zu Xing get everyone's praise is also the credit of the princess." ”

Princess Hui's smile was slightly astringent: "Zu Xing is a good one, I am reluctant to let him go to the border, Niangniang is right, how can there be a mistake in the sword and sword?" But she had a different taste in her heart, because Zu Xing was not from her, but from Concubine Li.

Han Shi gave Princess Hui a dish: "It's very good to try this, it's not for this dish that I really don't want to stay in the palace to eat; I'm more comfortable with my sister, what's wrong with leaving this house? After she finished speaking, she sat back and glanced at Hongluan: "You have also heard about the ability of the second son of King Hui in the palace, but you don't know that the third son is excellent; I have heard people talk about the third son, and Rong Guogong also wants to ask someone to talk to the matchmaker, and asked me if the third son Zuying has said kiss. ”

"Zu Ying's literary talent is excellent, I heard that he has a high prestige among scholars, what ...... he has recently built" She frowned and thought for a while: "Yes, it is the book club." The book club is said to be very large, as long as the scholar goes to tea and snacks, it is enough, and if there are good poems, maybe you can get silver; Recently, I heard that Zu Ying gave a hundred taels of silver in exchange for a wonderful article, which became a beautiful talk in Beijing. ”

Hongluan glanced at Han: "As far as you know, I've heard about it too." Zu Ying's prestige can be said to be unsurpassed, and his knowledge has also been appreciated by several scholars in the court, praising him for his ability to govern the country so that Uncle Hui Wang should cultivate it well; I heard from the emperor last night that Uncle Hui wanted Zu Ying to go to the country to receive an errand. ”

Princess Hui smiled and shook her head: "Where are they so good, it's just a casual flattery, who dares to say that the royal family is not?" And you have to be serious. Come, eat something, and don't just talk. She was even more suspicious in her heart, whether it was Zu Xing's release to the border, or Zu Ying's entry into the country's prison, she didn't know at all.

You must know that her son is still an idler, and the prince often says that he is not allowed to go out in order not to make people suspicious, so what is the Zuxing brother?

"It's not just a casual take, when Zu Xing comes back from accumulating military merits at the border pass, Zu Ying enters the Ministry of Rites from the Guozijian or something - people like us don't need any fame, but how many royal people can have such prestige as him? But all the talents of the champion are Zu Ying's best friends, and no one will say a word in which department he is in charge of in the future. Han has always been straightforward, and after speaking, he looked at Princess Hui and sighed: "How did you raise the two sons of the world, teach us sisters a little, Aunt Huang." ”

Princess Hui finally couldn't help it: "The prince is not screaming, why do you two call Zu Xing and Zu Ying the son?" "The prince is the one who takes the throne, and in the future, the prince of her family will ascend to the throne, and the prince will be the prince and the future emperor; How can this be called nonsense, where did the second and third sons come from?

I wish you all a happy New Year's Day, all the best, and a happy holiday
