Chapter 131: Eternal Trouble
"Brother Huang, don't worry, the concubine will pay attention to her body."
The three chatted for a while, and Concubine Lin came. She is gorgeous and graceful in a phoenix robe, wearing a golden hairpin and shaking pearls, but with sadness on her graceful and rich face.
"Concubine Niangniang." Jiang Wanxiang curtsied: "Why is the noble concubine Niangniang free to come today?"
"This palace came here today to visit the imperial brother," Lin Guifei smiled lightly: "This palace also heard that you are sick?"
"The concubine's body is weak, and medicine can help."
"In that case, I'll give you a hosta as compensation." She motioned to the palace maid on the side and handed her a jade-carved hibiscus peony hairpin.
"Xie Guifei gave the hairpin, and the concubine was grateful." Jiang Wanxiang took the hairpin: "But this hairpin is too valuable, and the concubine deserves it."
Concubine Lin smiled faintly and said, "This palace just likes this hairpin."
Seeing this, Chu Wanqing also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, accept it, this is a birthday gift prepared for you by the imperial aunt, you can't let her down."
"The Imperial Aunt is bothered." Jiang Wanxiang nodded.
"This palace also heard that you are sick," Lin Guifei's tone softened a lot: "This palace came to see you today."
"Thank you, Aunt Huang, for your concern," Jiang Wanxiang lowered her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of gloom: "The imperial brother came last night, and said that he would not come back tonight and stay at the queen's place."
"Imperial Brother He ......" Concubine Lin Guifei was silent for a moment: "This palace has also persuaded him, but the imperial brother is hard-hearted, and this palace really has nothing to do."
Jiang Wanxiang mocked in her heart, was the emperor staying in the queen's dormitory because of Jiang Wanqing's bewitchment? I'm afraid he only has that goblin in his heart!
"Aunt Huang," Jiang Wanxiang raised her eyes, "Although the concubine is sick, the imperial heir is a major matter of the country, and the concubine hopes that the queen mother can give birth to a dragon fetus as soon as possible."
Concubine Lin Guifei was stunned for a moment, a haze flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know if she noticed that Jiang Wanxiang had peeked into her mind, she reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips: "Wanqing has been pregnant for more than three months, and this child is extremely healthy, but this palace is worried that the emperor is too busy with state affairs and neglects Wanqing."
Jiang Wanqing is indeed pregnant. Her belly is a circle bigger than Jiang Wanyao, for four or five months, she can't see it when she wears looser on weekdays, and only by looking carefully will she find her bulging abdomen.
"The queen is virtuous and knowledgeable, and she should be able to understand the emperor's difficulties." Jiang Wanxiang said lightly: "Besides, the emperor treats the queen like a treasure, and the concubines believe that the queen will be considerate of the emperor."
"Wanqing is indeed kind, but it's a pity that she has a soft temperament, and this palace is worried that she won't be patient."
"The imperial aunt doesn't have to worry about the queen." Jiang Wanqing said softly and gently, "What the imperial sister-in-law said is that the queen mother seems to like me very much recently, and even the grandmother in my yard has praised me several times."
She paused, and a hint of cunning crossed her eyes: "Why don't we conspire to make the queen mother completely disgusted with the emperor?"
"Collusion?" Chu Mochen frowned, and looked at the queen's gaze with coldness: "If the queen dares to hurt my woman, I will never forgive."
Jiang Wanqing's face turned pale: "The imperial brother misunderstood, how could Wanqing have the guts to hurt the imperial sister-in-law? It's just that the courtier's sister heard that the imperial sister-in-law was frightened a few days ago, so she thought about letting the queen mother comfort and comfort the imperial sister-in-law, so that she would not be cranky and affect her body."
"What Wanqing said is," Concubine Lin also spoke: "Your Majesty, the queen has always been cranky during this time, and the whole person is thin and haggard, and the palace is really afraid that her body will be broken, and then you will blame me for not teaching well."
Jiang Wanxiang smiled slightly, her dignified and beautiful face was like a blooming snow lotus: "The queen mother is also a concern, and the concubine understands it. However, the concubine's health is not so bad, the concubine will take care of herself, and the imperial aunt does not need to worry about it."
"In that case, then Hongu won't disturb your rest either." Lin Guifei stood up: "The imperial sister-in-law's body is important."
"Congratulations to the imperial aunt, congratulations to the imperial aunt." Jiang Wanxiang bowed respectfully.
After Concubine Lin left, the emperor also stood up: "I still have things to deal with, so I will leave first."
"The concubine sends the emperor." Jiang Wanxiang smiled and said, "The emperor walks slowly."
As soon as Lin Guifei left, Bi Tao angrily slapped the case and stomped her feet fiercely: "The emperor is really partial to the queen!"
Chu Wanshuang sighed lightly: "Sister, the queen mother is now in full bloom, don't annoy the queen mother. After all, the emperor is a man, and sometimes he is confused. You must keep the heir."
"Sister, don't worry." Chu Wanxiang smiled.
Of course, she knew Lin Guifei's intentions, Lin Guifei wanted to get rid of the evil seed in her belly through Jiang Qiyun, and she didn't want to sit back and watch Jiang Qiyun ascend to the back position, the two reached a consensus, Lin Guifei helped her to eradicate the evil seed in Jiang Qiyun's belly, and she helped her get rid of Lin Guifei.
The Jiang family has a deep foundation in the capital, even if the royal family is infighting, it will not implicate the innocent, she wants to use this to destroy Lin Guifei in one fell swoop and completely cut off the Jiang family's troubles!
Chu Wanshuang glanced at her second sister, her face was as bright as a spring breeze, but she felt inexplicably frightened.
She always felt that the second sister seemed to be a different person.
Chu Mohan stayed by Jiang Wanqing's side until Jiang Wanqing drank the decoction and fell asleep, then he left the bed and went to Fengyi Palace.
Chu Duyun was waiting for him.
Chu Duyun sat on the soft chair by the window, leaning there straight, with a handsome side face with a well-defined silhouette, a high nose bridge, narrow and sharp eyes, and thin lips slightly pursed, looking majestic and solemn.
When Chu Duyun saw Chu Mohan enter the door, he immediately put down the folding fan in his hand.
Chu Mohan walked straight to him and sat down, and glanced at the table lightly: "Father is looking for me?"
"Hmm." Chu Duyun nodded.
"What's the matter?" Chu Mohan picked up the fold and flipped through it, and asked casually.
"The Northwest Army's salary has been in arrears, and the Tobe Shangshu has already submitted the performance." Chu Duyun pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of the household department, the imperial brother has to worry a lot."
"Oh?" Chu Mohan raised his eyes, and his dark eyes stared at him.
"The emperor's younger brother is not young, and it is time to serve the imperial court." Chu Duyun hooked his lips and smiled, his tone calm and distant: "Is the imperial brother willing to accept the canonization?"
"What do you mean, brother?" Chu Mohan frowned at his thick sword eyebrows, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and his tone was cold: "Hasn't my father already named the emperor's brother the crown prince?"
"It's just a decree." Chu Duyun smiled, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes: "If the emperor's brother insists on refusing to admit this, it is a rebellion, and when the time comes, the father will definitely be angry."
Chu Duyun saw it very clearly, although his father favored Chu Mochen on the surface, he actually didn't take him seriously, and he had always been eyeing the crown prince, this time, he wanted to take advantage of the dispute between Chu Mohan and Jiang Wanxiang to force Chu Mochen to make concessions.
