Chapter 408: A Moment of Spring Festival is Worth a Thousand Gold
Nangong Yihan looked at Grandpa Zhang's very ambiguous eyes, and immediately understood what Grandpa Zhang meant, could it be that it was a matter last night that even Grandpa Zhang thought that he had been fortunate to Concubine Shu?
He remembered that when he left Concubine Shu's Cuining Palace, his clothes were still very neat. Father-in-law Zhang is an old man serving in the palace, how can he not even see this?
"Father-in-law Zhang, you know, I only have the queen in my heart."
"Your Majesty, of course the old slave knows, but those new concubines who enter the palace are all from the families of important ministers in the court, and if you want those courtiers to really do things for the emperor, those concubines are the best chess pieces, and the old slave believes that the queen will also work for the sake of the country, and she will not mind."
Hearing this, Nangong Yihan nodded, this Zhang Qing is a very transparent person, in fact, what Gonggong Zhang said is right, the best way to consolidate imperial power is political marriage. However, if it was for the sake of imperial power, he would make Lixue sad, which he didn't want to see.
Fortunately, he has already figured it out, as long as he waits until the world is peaceful, he will hand over the throne, and whoever wants to do it will do it, as long as he can guarantee that the people can live a peaceful life. As for him, he and Lixue will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live a stable life.
"Zhang Qing, I really don't want to make Lixue sad, Lixue is still pregnant."
"Your Majesty, even if you go to the palace of other concubines, you can not stay overnight. It was like that night at Trininh Palace. Zhang Qing reminded lightly.
"But you can't always use the excuse that a courtier asks to see you late at night. Once the same excuse is used more than three times, others will no longer believe it. Nangong Yihan said lightly.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is resourceful, she must have a way to make those courtiers unable to say anything." Zhang Qing said with a smile.
Since this queen is already a poisonous concubine, she can use the method of the middle palace to deal with a few new concubines who have entered the palace, and the question is how to make good use of the power and responsibility of the middle palace.
Hearing this, Nangong Yihan smiled faintly, it is indeed the case, if the queen wants to rectify the concubines, there must be the queen's means, but Lixue is pregnant now, so she should have no time to deal with those women for the time being.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan walked in the direction where Fengluan Palace was located, if he didn't explain what happened last night to Lixue, I was afraid that he wouldn't have to think about the door of Fengluan Palace in the future.
As soon as I came to the door of Fengluan Palace, I saw that the house was extinguished, why did I go to bed so early, could it be because I knew that he was coming and didn't want to see myself?
"Your Majesty, Niangniang said that she needs more rest when she is pregnant, and today the Chun Tao next to Concubine Xian came over, saying that Concubine Xian was uncomfortable, and Niangniang suggested that the emperor go to see Concubine Xian." Wanyue said lightly at the door.
What the? Does this mean that he has to go to the Jade Phoenix Palace? He really doesn't want to go anywhere else tonight, he just wants to stay in Fengluan Palace and spend time with his wife and the unborn child in his belly.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan didn't pay attention to Wanyue's words, but walked straight to the door of the room. "Lixue, I know you haven't rested yet, let me in, okay?"
"Your Majesty, you should go to Concubine Xian tonight. These women have just entered the palace, if you don't go to their palace to sit down, those ministers will have something to say, and the concubines don't want to fight with them while they are pregnant with children. ”
"Then you also want me to go in to see you and the child, let me go in and see you, and I will be relieved to see you." Nangong Yihan prayed.
He has to delay as much time as possible now, if he stays in Fengluan Palace for a while, he can go to Concubine Xian later in a while, and most importantly, he hasn't thought about what excuse he wants to use to leave Yufeng Palace tonight.
With a creak, the door was opened, and Chu Lixue appeared at the door wearing a pajama made of white snow satin. The long hair hung down on her chest like a waterfall, although she was pregnant, but now Chu Lixue was more flavorful.
When Nangong Yihan saw Chu Lixue like this, he couldn't help but take Chu Lixue into his arms, and then kissed Chu Lixue's lips deeply.
"No, there's still a baby in my belly." Chu Lixue said shyly.
"Hehe, child, I'm your father, you have to be obedient, don't let your mother work too hard." Nangong Yihan gently stroked Chu Lixue's stomach and said.
Seeing this, Chu Lixue smiled faintly, she didn't expect Nangong Yihan to like children so much, they all said that women have established a relationship with the child in their womb since they were pregnant, but men are different, men will only slowly establish responsibility after the child is born, from the process of taking care of the child.
"Okay, it's not too early, you should go to the Xianfei Palace to have a look, these ministers are watching it every day, so ah, you have to be responsible for keeping them shut up." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Immediately opened the door, Nangong Yihan understood that it was Chu Lixue who let him leave. After thinking for a moment, Nangong Yihan reluctantly left Fengluan Palace.
The moon had moved west, and Nangong Yihan came to the door of the Jade Phoenix Palace with leisurely steps. The little palace maids who were originally guarding the door were already preparing to close the door, and they were really overjoyed to see Nangong Yihan's arrival.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live the emperor." The palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the Jade Phoenix Palace knelt down in unison.
"Let's all get up, I came over to see Concubine Xian, but I don't know if Concubine Xian is resting?"
"No, no, Concubine Xian has been waiting for you to come over." The little palace maid said happily.
As long as the emperor can come to the Jade Phoenix Palace, this shows that Concubine Xian has some status in the emperor's heart, otherwise how could Concubine Xian be allowed to sleep immediately.
"The concubines welcome the emperor's holy drive." Concubine Xian knelt on the ground and saluted.
Hearing this, Nangong Yihan walked over and helped Concubine Xian up, "Get up, I'm really coming to see you." I didn't expect you to sleep yet. ”
"The concubines look forward to the emperor coming every day, so they waited so late."
"Well, the queen said, you're feeling a little unwell today, so I've come to see you."
"The concubine thanks the queen for her concern, this morning, the concubine was indeed a little uncomfortable, and later the imperial doctor ordered her to come to see the concubine, and the concubine got better."
"Okay, let's go inside." Nangong Yihan said with a light smile. Immediately, he stepped into the room by himself, and as soon as he walked into the house, Nangong Yihan smelled a faint fragrance, which was very good.
"Concubine Xian, do you like incense very much?"
"Yes, there is some moisture in the concubine's room, so the concubine lights incense in the room to drive away the moisture." Lei Yufeng said lightly.
"Oh, is it? If this Jade Phoenix Palace is uncomfortable, then change to another palace to live, there are still a lot of empty palaces in this harem. Nangong Yihan said lightly.
"No need, the concubine is still good here, the moisture only needs to be incense, doesn't the emperor like this spice?" Lei Yufeng said cautiously.
In this deep palace, it doesn't mean that being the emperor's favorite concubine can sit back and relax, she also needs to guard against other concubines putting cold arrows behind their backs, and she must know how to guess the emperor's thoughts.
"It's okay, it tastes very fragrant." Nangong Yihan said lightly.
Hearing Nangong Yihan say this, Concubine Xian hooked her lips and smiled lightly, this spice was bought at a high price from the old ladies in those palaces, the taste was fragrant and not easy to detect, but the medicinal power was very strong.
I really didn't expect that Chun Tao, this girl, really has some way. It seems that if you want to climb to a higher position in the future, the help of Chun Tao is indispensable.
Lei Yufeng looked at Nangong Yihan and already pinched his brows again, it seems that the medicine has begun to take effect. She just had to wait for the medicine to continue to penetrate for a while so that she could survive the night without fail.
"Your Majesty, the hour is not early, let the concubines wait for you to go to bed early." Lei Yufeng said softly.
"No, I still have something to do in a while, and I'll go back to the imperial study later." Nangong Yihan shook his head vigorously and said.
If he didn't shake his head hard to stay awake, Nangong Yihan didn't know how he would persevere, and he didn't know what was going on today, he always felt a little groggy in his head, could it be because he was too tired to watch the music in the imperial study today?
No, when he walked in the Imperial Garden tonight, he didn't feel like this yet, but after smelling the smell of spices in the Jade Phoenix Palace just now, it was like this.
Could it be because of the spice problem? This doesn't seem to be the kind of aphrodisiac spice, Han Jiang told him, those spices with aphrodisiac effect will have a stronger taste, but what he smells is very fragrant, which makes people feel very peaceful.
Nangong Yihan just wanted to get up and was about to leave, but when he just stood up, he staggered from exhaustion. Lei Yufeng saw the time, stepped forward to hold Nangong Yihan, and helped Nangong Yihan to the bed.
Looking at Nangong Yihan's handsome and handsome face, Lei Yufeng is simply salivating, what is Concubine Shu, what about the first attendant, what does she want to be longer, she wants to be with the emperor for a long time and become the emperor's favorite woman.
Nangong Yihan was lying on the bed, feeling in a daze that someone was giving him wide clothes, and warm and soft lips covered his lips. Although this kiss mark was sweet, he knew very well that this kiss was not familiar to her, Nangong Yihan tried hard to control his consciousness and pushed Lei Yufeng away from him.
After staggering and standing up, Nangong Yihan left the Jade Phoenix Palace in a step, and as soon as he left the door, Zhang Qing quickly stepped up to support Nangong Yihan. "Zhang Qing, take me to the queen." Nangong Yihan commanded in a low voice.
When Zhang Qing helped Nangong Yihan to Fengluan Palace, he saw that the lights of Fengluan Palace were still on, and immediately, he helped Nangong Yihan to knock on Chu Lixue's door.
