Chapter XXIV
At this moment, the dancing phoenix hall is not lively, and the faces of the palace people are filled with smiles that are diametrically opposed to usual.
Everyone is busy serving the queen, you must know that the heir born by the queen mother is very likely to be the future prince.
At the same time, the queen's pregnancy spread throughout the harem.
In Yuhua Palace, the Empress Dowager was lying on the soft couch sideways, her half-obscured eyes, and the slender Kodan gently picked up the hanging hair, and the silver-white color inevitably added a bit of vicissitudes.
The palace maid standing behind her carefully shook the pu fan.
Half ringing. The slightly old Mama Gui stepped into the hall, "The old slave sees the Queen Mother." ”
"Mama Gui, you're here." In a light and lazy tone, he said, "Excuse me." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie." Mama Gui raised her eyes, looked at the palace people around, and whispered to the Empress Dowager: "Tell the Empress Dowager that the old slave heard a happy event on the way back just now. ”
Although it was a happy event, I didn't see the slightest joy on my face, on the contrary, I was a little anxious.
"Oh? What are you going to talk about? ”
"I heard that the queen mother is pregnant."
Mama Gui's words seemed to be a heavy blow, and the Empress Dowager opened her eyes with a sigh, and her deep eyes flickered slightly: "Is this true?" ”
"Yes, it is said that it came from the Queen's Palace, and Imperial Physician Huang personally consulted him." secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager's expression, but was disappointed to find that it didn't matter if it was dull or not.
"Isn't that great, the emperor is about to have an heir, this is the blessing of Nanxia!" smiled at Mama Gui and said, "Does the emperor know about this?" ”
"I think I already know it by this time." After all, with such a big news, thinking about the harem full of intrigues, what can be hidden? Presumably the whole palace knows about it now.
Longqing Palace, inside the Imperial Study. Si Teng Feng sat intently reviewing the recital, frowning, looking very domineering.
Father-in-law Ji trotted, hurriedly came to the gate of Longqing Palace, and called with his body: "Your Majesty, the old slave has something important to say." ”
Si Teng Feng has a habit when he corrects the recital, no one is allowed to disturb him, and even the nearest Ji Gonggong has to retreat. Thinking that Father-in-law Ji is very self-aware, he usually won't bother if there is nothing major.
Something big must have happened at this moment. Then he answered, "Come in."
Pushing open the heavy door, Gonggong Ji came to the center of the hall and said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor, the queen is pregnant." ”
Suddenly, Si Tou Feng was slightly stunned, damn it, why was he so careless, he actually forgot to let her take the decoction.
Now she is pregnant with the prince of Southern Xia, and she is not the future prince, so the plan to deal with the Xiahou family will be shelved or delayed, and the Xiahou family will also act quickly.
Thinking about it, Si Tou Feng secretly blamed himself for his momentary carelessness. I didn't have the heart to care about any more movements, so I threw down the fold in my hand, got up, strode down the steps, and walked out of the door: "Set up the Phoenix Dance Palace." The deep voice was full of gloom. Frightened, Father-in-law Ji behind him hurriedly stepped forward to follow, afraid that one of them would accidentally provoke a crime.
Secretly said in his heart: This queen is pregnant, and the emperor is not happy? Why did he feel that the emperor seemed to be about to kill.
Thinking of Fang Cai's gloomy eyes, Father-in-law Ji stepped forward energetically and followed.
In the palace of Concubine Yu, an expensive porcelain vase with flowers "snapped" and shattered, followed by the sound of "crackling" resounded endlessly throughout the entire palace, the palace people lowered their heads and retreated, eager to leave this place quickly, seeing that Concubine Yu was going to smash the jade Ruyi given by the Empress Dowager, the personal palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, and said in a panic: "Niangniang, this is still not allowed, this is the Empress Dowager's imperial gift, if the Empress Dowager learns about it one day, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
After this reminder, Concubine Yu reacted slightly, and the resentment in her heart couldn't help but disperse a lot, put down the porcelain bowl she had just picked up in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said: "Fortunately, your reminder, otherwise this palace is really a big mistake, let's go down and get some reward in a while." ”
Yingxuan hurriedly knelt down: "Xie Niangniang." ”
"Hmph, but this damn Xiahou Meiwu, I didn't expect her to be able to conceive the emperor's child? This palace has been in the palace for three years, and she has drunk the decoction after every cloud and rain, why is she alone? Concubine Yu's distorted face, her hands clenched fiercely, she was unwilling, why did she let Xiahou Meiwu conceive his child alone, was it fair to her?
His eyes stared into the distance resentfully, his lips were a little white, and his head was a little dizzy after being excited.
He staggered to his feet and raised his hand to his forehead.
The kneeling Ying Yu quickly got up and put down the jade Ruyi in his hand, and stepped forward to help Concubine Yu sit down.
While persuading: "Niangniang, why are you excited? It hurts your body, doesn't it? If it seems to the slaves and maids that there are many people in this palace who don't want the birth of the queen's child, as long as we make a little use of it, this child will not come out. ”
When Concubine Yu heard what she said, a thought immediately flashed in her mind, yes, if this child does not come to this world, then Xiahou Meiwu will not have any threat.
Thinking of this, the corners of his lips immediately raised a chuckle, and he looked at the lingering in front of him: "Unexpectedly, you little girl also has a little brain?" Say, how do you want this palace to reward you? ”
Yingxuan lowered his head and said: "I don't dare to ask for a reward, I wish to always be by Concubine Yu's side." ”
"Hehe, that's right to think about it......" glanced at her meaningfully, and Concubine Yu lightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
Although it's a little reluctant, it's still necessary for the sake of the plot.
