Chapter Fifty-Six: Concubine Xian is pregnant

The old lady nodded hurriedly in agreement, and bowed down to sit down beside Li Xiyue. I saw him lightly put his finger on Li Xiyue's wrist, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, Li Xiyue's face turned a little paler when he saw this, "Imperial Doctor Zhao, what's wrong with this palace?" ”

The old lady didn't answer, and after carefully cutting the pulse for a while, she finally showed a happy face, knelt down and said: "The queen mother is overjoyed, the virtuous concubine is happy, the mother is pregnant!" ”

Li Xiyue's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't come back to her senses, but the Queen Mother stood up in surprise, although she knew that there would be no mistake, she couldn't help but ask: "Is it true?" ”

The old lady kowtowed and said, "It's true! The Queen Mother smiled and ordered someone to reward.

Zhuang Xin'er sat by the window in the Yingyue Palace, with a few shallow red marks on her face, although it was not hideous and terrifying, but her face was damaged in the end. But she didn't think so, the more she was like this, the more Chu Sheng felt novel, not only did she not be indifferent because of this, but she went to the Butterfly Palace more diligently, and just a few days ago she was named Xi Zhaoyuan.

Now that she has moved to the main hall and become the head of the first palace, Chu Sheng originally wanted her to choose another palace to live in, so that she could be closer to herself, but she just didn't want to, so Chu Sheng was no longer reluctant.

The news of Concubine Xian's pregnancy has spread throughout the Sixth Palace, so Chu Sheng no longer cares about the previous things with her, and finally sets foot in Yingyue Palace to visit. Li Xiyue is charming and tender, Chu Sheng remembered that she was pregnant and couldn't bear to brush her kindness, so he also loved her.

But the queen really couldn't sit still this time, she sat straight on the chaise longue, endured her anger and asked Shiyue who was kneeling on the ground, "How could she be pregnant?" ”

Shiyue trembled with fright: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't know either!" ”

The queen was so angry that she couldn't care so much, and ordered: "Go and call Baolian to me!" ”

Shiyue looked up in amazement when she heard this, "Niangniang, if someone finds out......"

The queen pursed her lips, and her voice was a little colder, "Won't you be more careful?" ”

Shiyue didn't dare to say any more, so she hurriedly bowed and retreated. After a while, he brought Baolian in the Yingyue Palace, although this Baolian was not as good as Xianping and Xian'an in the Yingyue Palace, she could be regarded as a big palace maid with a head and a face, and now she was secretly kneeling at the feet of the queen.

"Baolian~" Queen Sen Ran spoke.

"The slave is here!" The kneeling man lifted up.

The queen looked at her for a moment and asked, "This palace asks you, why did Li Xiyue have a child?" ”

Baolian swallowed her saliva and replied in a trembling voice: "Back to Niangniang, since I beat the slave maid to serve by the virtuous concubine, I have been mixing the cold medicine in her meal according to the instructions of the maid for many years, so although she is constantly pampered, she has never had children...... Behold... It was such a coincidence that she was pregnant with a child! ”

"Confused!" The queen slammed the table angrily and made a "bang" sound, "You have a good heart, but that medicine is only useful if you take it for a long time, and now it is in vain because you have been in charge for many years!" The queen closed her eyes in the end, and her face was unwilling.

Seeing this, Baolian kept kowtowing, and shouted in her mouth: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and the mother spares her life!" ”

Just when the queen didn't know how to punish her, Qian Jiale, the chief eunuch of Fengyang Palace, bowed down and walked in, and said with a thousand words: "Niangniang, Shugui Concubine Niangniang asked to see her, saying that she would take the draft matter, and in some places she still wanted Niangniang to take ideas." ”

The queen glanced at Shiyue, who hurriedly dragged Baolian from the ground into the inner room.

The queen straightened her clothes and said in a deep voice, "Let her in!" ”

After Concubine Shu came in with Moqin and lifted the curtain, she curtsied and said, "Say hello to the queen!" The queen nodded, pointed to the vacant seat in front of her and asked her to sit down, and after the concubine sat down, she discussed the draft with the queen for a while, and then got up and retired after the matter was finished.

As soon as the master and servant left Fengyang Palace, Mo Qin whispered in the ear of Concubine Shugui: "Niangniang, there is someone hidden in the queen's palace!" Concubine Shu was stunned, but she still asked calmly: "Maybe it's certain?" ”

Mo Qin nodded, and said faintly: "The slave maid is the most sensitive to all kinds of fragrances, the queen loves agarwood, and the palace is used to it, when the slave maid passed through the main hall, he saw that the incense burner was still agarwood, but when he walked into the side hall, he smelled a different fragrance, and he must not be a person in Fengyang Palace!" ”

Concubine Shu nodded, "The palace has a headache when you come in, you are looking for any flowers and plants in the palace that can be incensed, so that the palace can sleep peacefully at night!" ”

"Yes! Slave and maid, go now! Mo Qin agreed and walked to the side, but she didn't go far, only picked up and searched by the ear gate of Fengyang Palace.

It wasn't until the evening that Moqin returned to Yongfu Palace, and when Concubine Shu saw her, she asked in a deep voice, "Who can you see?" ”

Mo Qin nodded, and replied directly without saying much: "It's Baolian of Yingyue Palace." ”

Concubine Shu laughed when she heard this, "She really can't hold her breath, this palace looks coldly at Li Xiyue for many years and has no heirs, it must be due to her!" ”

Seeing this, Mo Qin couldn't help but ask, "What about us?" ”

Concubine Shu shook her head and said a little tiredly: "Don't be nosy, everyone has their own life!" ”

"Yes! The slave knows! ”

After Baolian left, the queen ordered someone to call Li Jieyu. After An Ci sat down, the queen opened her mouth and asked: "Concubine Xian is pregnant, you must have known about it in the Splendid Palace!" ”

Su'er nodded and replied, "Back to Niangniang, I heard about it!" ”

The queen seemed to inadvertently asked, "Did the jade concubine say anything?" ”

Su'er knew that this was the queen's words, so she carefully considered it and replied: "Although my sister is also angry, she doesn't say anything special. ”

The queen smiled, "They killed King Rui, will Concubine Yu let her give birth to a child easily?" ”

Su'er sighed in her heart, the queen meant to borrow her sister's hand to get rid of the son in the womb of Concubine Xian, Chen Lixin's child was also like this at the beginning, the queen is now repeating her old tricks, but her sister is no longer a little girl who has just entered the palace, I am afraid that she will not be easy to comply. Then he replied with a deep groan: "The concubine doesn't know, my sister has always been calm, I'm afraid I won't do that uncertain thing!" ”

The queen's face suddenly turned a little colder, "If you don't do it, how do you know if you are sure?!" ”

Su'er looked at the queen's face and suddenly lost her confidence, and replied: "What Niang Niang said is that my sister will not let her relatives hurt her enemies quickly!" ”

The queen's face was filled with joy, and Ying Ying said, "So good! Li Jieyu has been in the palace for many years, and her position should be promoted, and now even Xi Chongyuan has sat on the main seat, so it's your turn! ”

When Su'er heard this, she knew that the queen was going to promote herself, but she couldn't be happy in her heart. But she didn't dare not express it, so she got up and knelt down and said, "Niangniang loves her concubines and is grateful!" ”

The queen waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go back first!" ”

It was night, it happened to be the fifteenth, Chu Sheng came to Fengyang Palace to accompany the queen, and after dinner, the queen saw that Chu Sheng's face was good, so she said carefully: "Your Majesty, today Li Jieyu came to visit the concubine, and the concubine looked at her really pitiful!" ”

When Chu Sheng heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why is this?" ”

The queen shook her head, and replied as if she couldn't bear it: "The emperor is really partial, the Yu Guifei and Xi Zhaoyuan, who entered the palace in the same year, are already the main mothers, and she is still a little master, does the emperor think that she is not satisfied with her service?" "

Chu Sheng was slightly stunned and realized that it was indeed a little inappropriate for him to do this, originally because Yu'er still felt a little more pity for her sister than others, but now he forgot her feelings. Chu Sheng glanced at the queen gratefully, reached out to hold the queen's white palm and shook it vigorously, "The queen is really virtuous!" Everything is for my sake! I am very pleased! ”

The queen's eyes have been slightly moist, the emperor has not been so intimate with himself for a long time, since then Situ Nian entered the palace, even if the emperor is in his own palace, the queen always feels that his heart has long been drifting to where, and now he can take the initiative to hold himself no matter what it is for, the queen is very happy!

Chu Sheng immediately called Li Fu and issued an edict to Situ Xu of Jinxiu Palace to be Li Zhaorong and give Ronghe Palace! Li Fu hurriedly went to the Splendid Palace to issue an edict.

Su'er was not very happy because she knew the reason. Because the emperor gave the palace where Chen Lixin lived before to Su'er, Yu'er felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but Jin Cai cried with joy when she heard this, and took Su'er's hand and said, "Congratulations to my sister!" Now my sister can be regarded as having survived! ”

Su'er patted her hand and said to the two: "It's just that I can't live with you in the future!" ”

Jin Cai Nu burst into tears and laughed, "What's this, Ronghe Palace and Jinxiu Palace are so close to each other that they are only a few steps away, if my sister wants us, she will often come back to see it!" ”

Su'er nodded and replied, "Of course I will!" ”

Yu'er also looked at her with some reluctance, her eyes shining with tears.

Just a few days before the draft, another distinguished guest came to the palace, and it was King Jiuye's wife, Princess Jiuye. Soon after lunch on this day, the queen ordered people to bring the little masters of each palace to Fengyang Palace.

When Yu'er arrived, the people had already arrived, and after waiting for a while, they were all here. Just when everyone was curious, the queen walked out from behind, followed by a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth.

Yu'er raised her eyes and saw that the woman was about the same age as herself, with red phoenix eyes and melon seed face, a high nose bridge, thin lips curved into a good-looking arc at the moment, and two good-looking small pear vortices on her cheeks made her look more sweet and lovely.

The concubines hurriedly got up and said goodbye, "Say hello to the queen!" ”

The queen also smiled decently, and said leisurely: "Sisters, don't be polite, this is Princess Jiuye, I called you here today to let you get to know her, although she is not very old, but in the end she is still a generation older than our sisters, and she should be called an aunt!" ”

The concubines were busy and curtsy again, "Say hello to Princess Jiuye!" ”

Princess Jiuye smiled and replied, "Ladies and ladies don't have to be polite!" ”

Not long after everyone sat down, the emperor's decree also arrived, in order to sympathize with the princess from thousands of miles away to come to the servants and dust, there was no need to go out of the palace and return to the house, the princess was in the days when the princess Jiuye Wang and his wife gave Yikun Palace.

Princess Jiuye hurriedly knelt down to receive the order of thanks.

Not long after King Jiuye was born, the Holy Ancestor Emperor left the West, and then her mother was gone a few years later, and the first emperor couldn't bear to see his youngest brother unattended and ordered his concubine Jing to raise him, this Concubine Jing is none other than the mother concubine of the current saint, the queen mother of Yijing who was posthumously crowned after the emperor ascended the throne.

Concubine Jing originally lived in Yikun Palace, thinking that Chu Ning and Chu Sheng were actually more like brothers although they were called uncles and nephews, the two of them got up early together every day to go to the study to study and do learning, and chased and frolicked together in the courtyards of Yikun Palace, chatting all night. It was really a beautiful and comfortable time, but unfortunately God did not bless people, such a quiet and indisputable time only passed in a few years, and when Chu Ning was twelve years old, the Empress Dowager Yijing was also gone!

Chu Ning, who lost his parents when he was a child, was still young after all, and he didn't quite understand the sadness. Now the two of them who have grown up really understand what it means to be sad. Since then, there has been no one to shelter them, and all kinds of treacherous and chaotic situations in the palace have to be recognized by themselves.

Fortunately, the two of them also competed, and five years later, before the death of the first emperor, Chu Sheng passed on the throne, and named Chu Ning as the king of Jiuye, so he rushed to the fiefdom overnight, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without Zhao. Since then, the two of them have been separated, and it was not until last year that Chu Sheng's personal expedition brought back this imperial uncle who had grown up together since childhood from the fiefdom.

It has been nearly a year since King Jiuye entered Beijing last year, and this Princess Jiuye is really bold, and Sifu is eager to chase after the palace. Thinking of this, Yu'er couldn't help but raise her eyes to look again, but saw that Princess Jiuye next to the queen was also looking at herself thoughtfully, and when she saw that she looked at her and turned her eyes sharply, Yu'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned in her heart.
