Because of Hongyan's withdrawal, the emperor was already absent-minded in the second half, but if he showed too much concern for Hongyan at the moment, it would definitely make the Queen Mother talk about Concubine Ling's hypocrisy, but Hongli knew that Hongyan was a person, if she wasn't really uncomfortable, she would have to hold on to such an occasion.

During the banquet, Chief Manager Wu sent his apprentices to Yanxi Palace a few times, and the news he brought back said that Concubine Ling was fine, but he knew that the emperor could not rest assured, so he had already instructed Cherry to prepare a banquet and take over after the banquet was dispersed. In addition, he brought a message to the emperor and said: "There is a palace maid in Xianfu Palace who has escaped and has been arrested. ”

The emperor only replied indifferently: "Got it." Chief Wu thought it was okay, but the emperor said, "Send someone to watch her, I don't want to see her again in my life." ”

When the birthday banquet dispersed, the emperor personally served his mother and returned to the palace to rest, and when Concubine Xin saw the emperor with her, she also wanted to come up, so that she was familiar with the emperor, but she was afraid that the emperor would think she was troublesome. But Concubine Jia suddenly blocked her way, and she had something to say to her, and Concubine Xin, who didn't want to say half a word to Concubine Jia, had the courage to go to the Queen Mother's side, and insisted on following the emperor to serve the Queen Mother.

Concubine Jia smiled coldly, patted herself and slapped herself: "There are no three hundred taels of silver here, what are you afraid of me doing?" ”

Concubine Yu and the others were about to go to Yanxi Palace to visit Hongyan, and the emperor should go later, they couldn't wait for Concubine Jia to leave first, and they had to go first to salute, Concubine Jia's eyes rolled around, and she said to Concubine Yu: "Good sister, go back and wait for me to tell you a joke, you must like it." ”

Concubine Yu didn't understand what it meant, but Concubine Jia Guifei smiled with deep meaning, and swayed away as if something good was about to happen, Concubine Shu snorted: "What good can she have, sister, let's go see Hongyan." ”

In Yanxi Palace, Fo'er has rushed back, for fear that her mother will be uncomfortable, so she accompanies Hongyan gently and gently, Hongyan has felt much better without the noise and stuffiness at the banquet after returning to the palace, but seeing that her daughter was frightened, she said: "Fo'er is very well-behaved tonight, you have to remember, you are naughty on weekdays, and you don't care about you, but you can't be naughty on big occasions, you are the daughter of Huang Ama and the princess of the Qing Dynasty, you must be noble and dignified." Today, it's good to have such rules, and there is time for you to play, but for these two hours, you have to be patient. ”

When Concubine Yu and the others heard this, they said, "You are so uncomfortable that you are about to quit, and you don't want to announce the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

Hongyan said that she had eaten more jujube paste cakes, walked back from the Qianqing Palace and moved, and she was comfortable before she entered the door, but unfortunately she couldn't turn back and be embarrassed, so she was simply lazy.

Concubine Shu said casually: "You look like this, shouldn't you have it?" ”

Hongyan pretended to be pitiful and said: "Why do you want to ridicule me, I'm just afraid that Imperial Doctor Xuan will make a fuss, and others will arrange me to ridicule me like this, but you still come to me, do you think I really won't be sad?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children?" Even Concubine Yu felt that Concubine Shu's joke was a bit excessive, Hongyan had experienced disappointment again and again for more than ten years, and the emperor was careful not to touch such a topic, Concubine Shu was so arrogant, and she didn't care about other people's feelings.

Concubine Shu hugged the Buddha and said, "Auntie loves your mother again, you see that she is so pitiful, turn around and call your emperor Ama to see ......"

Concubine Yu scolded with a smile: "You, fortunately, Fukangan is a kid, if you bring Yu'er to you, I don't know what to bring." ”

They laughed a few words, knowing that the emperor was coming immediately, Concubine Yu also took the Buddha away, they just left a cup of tea, the emperor really came from Ningshou Palace, and He Taiyi had entered the palace overnight and waited in front of the door, the emperor took him into the door together, and Hongyan saw it and said: "What a big deal, let Lord He enter the palace overnight." ”

Hongli said: "If you are good, you can bear it, but you have a hard mouth." The room was quiet, after Dr. He concentrated on asking for the pulse, he asked Hongyan about his daily diet, and sure enough, as Hongyan himself said, he replied to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang is a body weakness that leads to food accumulation, so she will feel that her stomach is full, and her breathing is not smooth, so it is good to eat lightly for a few days." ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but still reproached Hongyan: "You have always had a light diet, and you suddenly like to eat those sweet and greasy things, how can you restrain yourself?" ”

Hongyan saw that Imperial Physician He was on the side, and the emperor still said so, he couldn't talk back if he wanted to, so he could only bear it silently, and naturally his heart was sweet and warm. The emperor couldn't breathe when he read her, so he wanted her to sleep quietly tonight, and told Cherry to be careful, and he went back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

If Hongyan would have spoken out on weekdays, he really couldn't take care of the emperor tonight, and he didn't want to be taken care of by him, so the two said a few words in front of the door and left.

Hongli went all the way back to the Yangxin Palace, just wanted to take a break tomorrow to go to the early court, when he was changing clothes, Mr. Wu came to ask for a meeting, the emperor's eyebrows trembled, only thought that it was a disease He Taiyi was inconvenient to say, and called people to him without waiting to change his clothes, and asked him anxiously: "Ling Concubine Niangniang is really sick?" ”

When there was no one on the side, Imperial Physician He told the emperor: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang is not sick, I am afraid that there is joy, but if the pulse is not easy to grasp, if you ask four or five imperial doctors to consult, or can produce a result, the minister does not dare to assert." ”

Hongli looked at him blankly, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "What...... Pregnant? ”

Doctor He said: "According to the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Niangniang has been sleeping for only ten days recently, and the day of this month's Niangniang's monthly letter has not yet arrived. ”

Hongli rushed forward and asked him, "How sure are you?" ”

Doctor He thought for a while: "Seventy percent, and then thirty percent, there should be results at the end of the month." As he spoke, he was shocked by the emperor's appearance, he guessed how much shock this incident would bring to the emperor and Concubine Ling, he himself was so excited just now that he almost couldn't feel his pulse, and finally calmed down before he was sure of his judgment. As a doctor, and looking at the various hardships that Concubine Ling has endured in order to have a child for more than ten years, he really can't bear to say it rashly when he is not completely sure, if it is not wrong, it should be sad. He hesitated, but decided to tell the emperor first.

He didn't expect that in this life, he would have the opportunity to see the dignified emperor, holding tears in his eyes, and Taiyi He felt frightened when he looked at it more, and hung his head in a panic.

Hongli felt that his blood was full of blood at this moment, and he couldn't wait to rush to Yanxi Palace immediately to tell Hongyan the good news, but he heard Taiyi He's words, if it turned out to be wrong by the end of the month, then Hongyan should be disappointed and sad, if it was really a mistake, let him bear it himself, if there is no hope, it will be shattered, it is tantamount to tearing apart Hongyan's once torn heart apart from those healing old wounds.

The emperor paced around the hall, his body steaming with irrepressible excitement and ecstasy, but a bit of reason finally calmed him down, and he quickly let Imperial Doctor He get up, he said: "You take care of Concubine Ling, if this time comes true, I will give you the glory of the third generation of your family." You're right, don't tell her just yet, let her get through these days in peace, if it's a mistake, I won't blame you. Having said that, Hongli kept saying "Seventy percent, you are seventy percent sure", "Hongyan, we are going to have children, do you know Hongyan".

After that day, everyone could see that the emperor was in a very good mood, although he tried hard to restrain himself, the excitement and anticipation still couldn't help overflowing, and he was afraid that he would not be able to speak if he went to see Hongyan, so he didn't see her again for seven or eight days, under the pretext that she wanted to recuperate and was not suitable for driving, so she handed over everything in Yanxi Palace to Imperial Doctor He, and the emperor also stayed in Yanxi Palace with a pure heart, and he didn't see the harem.

In these days, Concubine Xin, who has been reluctant to go to Ningshou Palace for a long time, has seen the world coming to Ningshou Palace, even if the Queen Mother doesn't want her to do anything, she is hiding in Ningshou Palace, afraid that Concubine Jia will trouble her, and she hasn't figured out how to deal with it. The Queen Mother saw that she always came, and she used to like to take her with her, but now she was a little unpleasant, so she blamed her: "Why don't you go to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor, and it is also your intention to send a bowl of tea, what are you always hiding from me for?" ”

Concubine Xin was afraid that the Queen Mother would drive her away, and when she got out of the door of Ningshou Palace, Concubine Jia would chase her unscathed, so she said timidly: "The concubine thinks that when the emperor comes to greet you every morning and dusk, the concubine will be by her side, and you can have a face-to-face with the emperor." The concubines also want to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but you see that even Concubine Ling Niangniang doesn't dare to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace for a while, which shows that the emperor is busy with serious things and does not want to be disturbed by the concubines. ”

The Queen Mother also has some truth when she listens, and then thinks that Hongli has been kind and pleasant in the past few days, and she also has polite words to Concubine Xin, so she feels that it is not unreasonable, and she no longer thinks she is annoyed by her side, but sighs: "I let your mother teach you the ability, you can't lose it all, then you are still a girl, the emperor is of course disgusted when he sees you like that, now that you have children, what is there to be shy about the closest people?" Do you think that Wei Hongyan is a piece of wood at night? ”

With such ambiguous and explicit words, Concubine Xin didn't dare to respond, she thought about avoiding Concubine Jia's entanglement for a while, and she endured whatever the Queen Mother said.

But she hid like this, the more she aroused Concubine Jia's curiosity, and the more she believed that her judgment was not wrong, the reason why almost no one in the palace mentioned these things, one concubine Xin was pregnant was announced by the queen mother, and suspecting that concubine Xin was questioning the queen mother; The second concubine Xin was almost no one in the Chengqian Palace when she was about to give birth, and even she was not allowed to enter the door after a few days. There are too few concubines in this palace who have experience in childbirth, and they don't know how to judge others.

Unconsciously, the day entered November, Concubine Jia was busy buying things for her son to use in the future to start a family, and Concubine Xin had been hiding in Ningshou Palace, she couldn't take care of it for a while, and she was waiting for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a list on this day, and a palace maid came back from outside and said: "The slave maid met the emperor and went to Yanxi Palace." ”

Concubine Jia was not angry, and the little palace maid continued: "With three or five imperial doctors, what's wrong with Concubine Ling?" ”
