"King, something is wrong!" Da Sima hurried to the imperial study of King Mi Xian of Chu Wen, and stumbled and fell in the center of the main hall.

Mi Xian motioned to Gonggong De to help Da Sima up, and then said lightly: "Aiqing, when are you so flustered." Let's take a sip of tea and take a break. ”

Da Sima stood up with the support of Gonggong De, and blurted out: "The king, the old minister heard that the countries are dissatisfied with the king killing Zhou Tianzi, and they are even more unwilling to respect the king as the son of heaven. Their countries are gathering troops, saying that they will attack our Dachu and avenge Zhou Tianzi! ”

"What? No nonsense! Mi Xian jumped up from the throne at once and scolded: "Haven't the countries always disobeyed Zhou Tianzi? Now that the widowed country is rich and strong, and the Zhou dynasty has been destroyed, they should be afraid of my deterrence! ”

"The king didn't know that the Great Zhou Dynasty implemented a feudal system, and the territory of the central region under the control of Zhou Tianzi was very narrow. Although Zhou Tianzi had the right to rule the world, in fact, most of the affairs of the vassal states were handled by the princes themselves, so Zhou Tianzi's rights were very limited. ”

Da Sima went on to explain: "The princes were dissatisfied with Zhou Tianzi, but they were just unwilling to pay tribute every year. However, no one moved Zhou Tianzi's thoughts, first, because Zhou Tianzi's actual land was very small, and it was not as good as attacking the cities from neighboring countries. Second, the existence of Zhou Tianzi is, to a certain extent, a symbol of maintaining peace in all countries, if anyone moves Zhou Tianzi, they will definitely attack him! ”

When Mi Xian heard these words, he suddenly fell on the throne, sweating coldly.

"Princess, wake up, are you having nightmares again?" Qing'er's anxious voice woke up Hexuan in her sleep.

It turned out to be a dream, but this dream is too real, and it says that everything is unknown to Hexuan.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just rest a little longer. He Xuan said lightly, and then closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind.

When it was almost noon, He Xuan and his younger brother Ji Tai went to Xu Jieyu's Ningxian Palace with their mother Mrs. Cai.

Xu Jieyu, as the host, warmly entertained the concubines who came one after another. Although Princess Wen Ying is an introverted and shy person, she can't bear to see that her mother is pregnant and still so tired, so she follows Xu Jieyu closely and tries hard to help.

After greeting everyone and greeting each other, he sat down. She watched from a distance, Concubine Zhong Shu was very attentive and wanted to say a few words to Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang looked like she didn't like to answer, but turned around and talked to the crown princess Jiang Wanrong endlessly. From this point of view, the crown prince and the third prince have completely fallen out, and they are not treated well in this harem with Concubine Zhong Shu.

He Xuan went to look at the prince again, and he was smiling with the incomparably beautiful prince's side concubine Zhao Ruier on the other side, looking affectionate and sweet.

And Jiang Wanrong, who was talking to Mrs. Jiang, couldn't help but glance at the prince in the distance, and her expression was still light and light. He Xuan guessed that Jiang Wanrong must have just entered the door, and Zhao Ruier took away all her husband's favor.

Jiang Wanrong and Zhao Ruier are both peerless beauties, and they are so beautiful that they are different. One is graceful and graceful, and the other is delicate and dazzling. If it is Hexuan, I am afraid that Jiang Wanrong will appreciate it more. Will the fate of these two women be the same as in the previous life?

At this time, the emperor and Empress Zhao also arrived at the main hall, and after saluting, everyone took their seats in a proper manner.

Empress Zhao sat on the emperor's left hand side, and Xu Jieyu sat on the emperor's right hand side, but the height of the seat was different.

Empress Zhao smiled and said to the emperor: "Sister Jieyu is more than a month pregnant, I heard that she has been very happy these days!" When Xu Jieyu was pregnant with Princess Wenying, she was not so happy. ”

When Empress Zhao said this, it seemed to confirm the speculation of the people in the palace before, that Xu Jieyu might be pregnant with a baby boy.

The emperor looked at Empress Zhao with a smile, then looked at Xu Jieyu distressedly, and said, "Xu Jieyu is really hard to give birth to children for widowhood. Then let the Internal Affairs Office pick a few people for you and take good care of your diet and daily life. ”

Xu Jieyu said meekly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”

"Such hard work, the concubine wants to suffer for Sister Jieyu, but unfortunately she doesn't have such an opportunity." Fei Chonghua took such a sentence without being salty, obviously revealing her jealousy of Xu Jieyu.

The emperor only glanced at Fei Chonghua quickly, and the latter immediately shut up. The others continued to gossip as if they hadn't heard that.

"This year the weather is very good, and I have heard that the snow and ice melt at the beginning of spring in the remote vassal states in the north, and the peasants everywhere have begun to cultivate. Now that Xu Jieyu is pregnant again, the widow is in a very comfortable mood today. Emperor Long Yan said with great joy.

"Hexuan, your illness is also cured?" The Emperor looked at He Xuan with a pleasant face.

He Xuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, my son's illness has been cured for the most part, and it will not be in the way." ”

"That's good! The weather is hot and cold in spring, so let the little palace maid who serves you pay more attention. "The emperor actually wanted to visit He Xuan again for a long time, and today he saw that He Xuan had just recovered from a serious illness, so he made up his mind.

He Xuan smiled on his face, and felt very warm in his heart. My father has loved her since she was a child, and she has a little illness and disaster, and her father is very anxious.

The emperor said a few words of concern and affection, and the expressions of the princesses who were low were different.

Princess Changting, like Princess Ximeng, sat on the sidelines, and it was always just a decoration. Princess Yunjing is independent, and the clouds are light and breezy. Princess Tianwei had a smile on her face, but the smile was full of jealousy. Princess Wen Ying's concerned eyes stopped on Xu Jieyu's face. The other four princesses were still young and just played on the sidelines.

The emperor looked at the crown prince again and said, "Rong'er is married now, and it looks much more stable!" ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Wanrong is a good boy with a steady and strong atmosphere, and she has learned how to manage housework since she was a child, and she will be able to assist Rong'er well." ”

When Jiang Wanrong heard this, she was slightly shy and lowered her head.

Empress Zhao said with a smile: "Wanrong, this child is really rare and talented, gentle and polite, Rui'er is a little coquettish, she has been spoiled by my eldest brother since she was a child, but fortunately, Wanrong has never bothered with her." ”

When the prince heard this, he smiled even more happily and said, "Queen Mother, Rui'er is very good and has won my heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wanrong's face became more and more embarrassed, and Mrs. Jiang's expression was a little unnatural.

The Emperor did not notice it, and laughed heartily: "This is very good! Rong'er has two virtuous helpers, and she will definitely be more productive in the future. ”

Zhao Rui'er looked at the prince shyly on the side, the prince hesitated, but still said to the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Today, the imperial doctor came to check Rui'er's pulse and said that Rui'er was pregnant and looked like she was about half a month. ”

Mrs. Jiang immediately asked, "Is this true?" Rong'er, are you going to have a baby? ”

The crown prince said respectfully: "It's true, mother." The imperial doctor said that the fetal image was not very stable, and Erchen wanted to tell his father and mother after March, but Erchen couldn't help it, thinking about making his father happy. ”

The emperor really smiled this time, laughed for a long time, and said to the prince: "I didn't expect the widow to have his first grandson so soon!" The widow is so happy today! Zhao Ruier has merit, rewarding 100 silk and satin, and 30 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. ”

Zhao Rui'er was a happy woman, twisted her body and stood up, and just about to salute, she was ordered by the emperor to sit down and rest. She didn't shirk either, and slowly sat down with the support of the prince.

Empress Zhao was beside the emperor, and she was also so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and praised Zhao Ruier for being a blessed and good child.

When everyone looked at Zhao Rui'er, He Xuan secretly glanced at Jiang Wanrong, who was ignored by people. The beautiful woman had an indescribable desolation and grievance on her face, but she supported the honor of the crown princess.

Jiang Wanrong, how much this woman is like her in the previous life, and Xuan said silently in her heart. Indeed, this woman, with her refined appearance, elegant manners, outstanding talent, and extraordinary bearing, is she not as good as that kitsch Zhao Ruier? Just like the harmony of the previous life, where can it not compare to Tianwei? It's a pity that the prince only has the charming Zhao Ruier in his eyes. Today's scene, as Jiang Wanrong, who is in the prince's main room, is so embarrassing.

He Xuan was extremely sympathetic to Jiang Wanrong at the moment, she knew the tragic ending of this woman's previous life. In the end, He Xuan clenched the hand hidden in his sleeve, this woman named Jiang Wanrong could not become the second He Xuan.

It was precisely because of her sympathy for Jiang Wanrong's future experience that she hated this charming woman named Zhao Ruier even more. In this case, He Xuan secretly had a plan in his heart.

Xu Jieyu's pregnancy was originally the first happy event in the harem. However, compared with the emperor who is about to add his first grandson, Xu Jieyu's child seems to be very ordinary. These people in the harem turned their eyes full of envy to Zhao Rui'er, and kept praising her.

Yes, it's like giving a white steamed bun to Hanako, who has been hungry for three days, and he is obviously very grateful to eat it. But when others rewarded him with meat buns, he immediately threw away the white steamed buns.

This family banquet for Xu Jieyu was stolen from the limelight by Zhao Ruier, who was pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood. Until the end of the banquet, Xu Jieyu still sent the guests away with a smile and a smile. Xu Jieyu's forbearance kung fu is really one of the best in this palace!

When the banquet ended, He Xuan saw Jiang Wanrong who was alone, and quickly chased after him.

He Xuan quietly walked to the side of the crown princess Jiang Wanrong and whispered to her, "Crown princess, I don't know if you have a few idle words?" ”

Jiang Wanrong paused for a moment, looked at He Xuan carefully, and then said softly: "The second princess is polite, please say something if you have something." ”

He Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, it's just a reminder to the crown princess to be careful of the side concubine Zhao." If the crown princess encounters any difficulties in the future, she can come to me. After that, He Xuan walked away quickly without looking back.

Leaving Jiang Wanrong in place, looking at the back of Hexuan who was far away, she stopped for a long time.
