Chapter 248: Straight Question
Imperial Palace, Inshou Palace.
The main hall of Empress Dowager Wei was silent, and the palace people were cautious when they entered and exited, not daring to make a little noise, lest their lives be harmed.
The Chung Yeung Festival was supposed to be the most honored day for Empress Dowager Wei, but it was bad enough for her to smash a set of teacups, and after the smashing, the anger in her heart did not disappear at all, but on the contrary, she felt more and more panicked.
"The emperor is out of the palace again?" Empress Dowager Wei asked in a calm voice as she looked at the secret guard who was hidden in the dark.
"Yes, the subordinates are incompetent." The Dark Guard confessed.
"It's normal to keep an eye on the emperor, after all, the first emperor left him with the most powerful Long Yin Guard, and you are just the secret guard eliminated from the Long Yin Guard." Empress Dowager Wei's words were a bit shocking, but the secret guard didn't dare to refute it, because ......
"The emperor's movements out of the palace can't be clearly grasped by the mourning family, and I don't think there's anything, but the princess of the Jin Palace, a weak female stream, you can still let people slip away." The more Empress Dowager Wei thought about it, the more angry she became.
The dark guard didn't quibble, but Empress Dowager Wei also knew some inevitable reasons.
It is a fact that the secret guard has taken people captive, but it is impossible to keep watching people, and they waited for a quarter of an hour to make sure that they were unconscious before leaving, not to mention that there were other people in the courtyard at that time, and they couldn't leave people around themselves.
"Concubine Xian, that idiot." What was more dissatisfied than the Empress Dowager Wei was Concubine Xian, who was so anxious that she dared to do it when she participated in the banquet for the first time in the Jin Palace, and wanted to provoke the relationship between the three princes and the Jin Palace.
If it can be done, forget it, you can't calculate that people will startle the snake, and there will be almost no such opportunities in the future.
Now the emperor is suspicious of himself and Concubine Xian.
It seems that she has to be colder, and the second prince's hands and feet have been too big recently, so he has to restrain himself for a while.
Yaohua Palace, the palace where Concubine Xian lived, at this time her palace could be described as a mess, she was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and she personally taught the palace people in the palace.
The palace people were beaten and their cheeks were red and swollen, but they didn't cry at all, and they didn't dare to beg for mercy.
Concubine Xian was so angry because she was first counted down by the Queen Mother, and then accused by her own son of being unfavorable, if she couldn't hold on to success, she shouldn't rush forward.
Concubine Xian also complained about the Queen Mother at this time, why didn't the Queen Mother discuss with her about the princess of the King of Jin, and at this time she also forgot that she did not communicate with the Queen Mother about dealing with the third princess.
The Ganquan Palace where the concubine lived was warm and peaceful at this time, and the concubine Niangniang summoned the three princes and the three princesses to come over, and asked in detail about today's events, and then she took Pei Xue's hand and rejoiced.
"That princess of the Jin Palace, she is really our nobleman." The concubine was moved.
Pei Xue was kidnapped in Yijiang County and was rescued by Chen Xiuyan in time, the three princes had allergic attacks and injuries that Chen Xiuyan cured, and today Pei Xue was calculated or Chen Xiuyan helped in time.
"Mother, my son has prepared a generous gift, and I will send it to the Jin Palace." The third prince said.
"Don't send it tomorrow." The concubine replied, "Even if you want to give it, in private, don't make a big fuss, be known, talk about it more, nothing will happen." ”
The third prince nodded and said yes, he didn't plan to celebrate the gifts prepared by the prince of the Jin palace and the princess who came to the capital.
Pei Xue looked at the real concern in the eyes of the concubine, and what she thought of in her heart was the incense pill, she just liked to ask directly, and she didn't like temptation and speculation, so she looked at the concubine and asked, "Mother, my daughter-in-law has something to ask." ”
"What?" The concubine paused and asked Pei Xue to say something.
Pei Xue looked at Mama Chang behind the concubine, she was a mama who was good at making incense, and she was also brought into the palace by the concubine from her mother's family.
The concubine saw Pei Xue's eyes, and her eyes instantly understood, "Xue'er wants to ask about Xiangwan?" ”
Pei Xue nodded, "Xiuyan, she is the princess of the Jin Palace, she is good at medical science, and she smelled the smell of the incense pill after it burned out in her daughter-in-law's room, saying that the incense is very good and has great use, but it is not conducive to pregnancy." ”
"But Xiuyan said that the effect of that medicine is very small, it is softer than the avoidance soup, even if it smells it, it will have no effect on the daughter-in-law's body."
"The daughter-in-law wants to ask, is it the miscarriage of the second princess that worries the mother concubine, now is not the time for us to have children?" Pei Xue asked directly.
The concubine smiled when she heard this, and her eyes became softer and softer, "Xue'er, I like it so much because your temperament is too likable." ”
The third prince also smiled softly on the side.
"Xue'er, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about this, and I don't want you to worry, and I'm afraid that you will annoy me." The third prince confessed, "But everything proves that I am narrow-minded, and I am not as bright as Xue'er." ”
The direct and non-evasive attitude of the concubine and the third prince made Pei Xue's heart a little full, she really didn't marry the wrong person, she was so lucky to find such a husband and mother-in-law.
"I can actually guess a few." Pei Xue smiled and groaned, "Brother Yan doesn't agree to accept concubines, and there are no other women to target outsiders, so he thinks of using incense pills to avoid pregnancy first, but is this?" ”
The third prince touched the top of Pei Xue's hair and said gently, "It's so smart." ”
"In the future, Brother Yan will tell me directly if you have any troubles, I can help you give you ideas, if not, don't let people worry." Pei Xue said seriously.
After thinking about it, Pei Xue hesitated and said, "What if...... Brother Yan can't be the only one by his side, Xue'er. ”
The expression on the face of the third prince froze.
"Even if Brother Yan doesn't like it, sometimes many relationships need to be achieved by marriage." Pei Xue herself was a little sad when she said this, didn't she want to be a couple for the rest of her life.
The concubine was also silent, those who become big things are not informal, several other princes have side concubines, but the third prince does not, he didn't want it at the beginning, she also fulfilled her son, but if you want to impact that position, it is an indisputable fact that there are many women and many children, after all, the abundance of heirs is also the embodiment of the emperor's blessing and ability.
She herself felt the days when there were many needles and secrets in the harem, but she didn't want her children to feel it too, and Pei Xue almost grew up with her.
"Don't mention it now, let's talk about it later." The third prince said forbearingly, he didn't want to, but sometimes the situation was trapped and the pressure of the imperial court was decided whether he liked it or not, whether he wanted it or not.
"When Xue'er can give me more children in the future, even if I don't accept other women, it's fine." The third prince said.
Pei Xue was not moved when she heard this, it was a lie, ordinary people like three wives and four concubines, not to mention the children of the emperor's family, the third prince treats herself so sincerely, she is really happy.
"I asked Xiuyan to prescribe medicine for me to condition my body, she must have a prescription for this." Pei Xue has already thought about it, and she can't wait to give birth to Brother Yan now, and have a lot of children.
