"How?" Concubine Hua looked at Zhou Nan nervously.

Zhou Nan carefully felt the pulse under his fingers, and was silent for a long time, until he felt that Concubine Hua was already a little anxious, then he withdrew his hand and slowly got up, put on a surprised smile, and said: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, I am indeed a month pregnant." For the sake of safety, Niangniang can call two more doctors to come to check the pulse. ”

Concubine Hua was slightly stunned, and after a moment of trance, she touched her stomach and laughed out loud: "Okay, good, this palace has finally waited for this child." Imperial Doctor Zhou, you are very skilled and capable, and this palace only believes in you. "Let Songzhi bring him three large silver tickets," this palace said that if you can successfully conceive a dragon fetus, there will be another reward. You take the three thousand taels of silver tickets first, take care of your body for the palace, and then there will be a time for you to enjoy happiness. ”

"Yes, thank you." Zhou Nan pretended to be frightened and greedily accepted the silver ticket, and then got up to leave.

Song Zhi was happy for Concubine Hua: "Niangniang, I finally have an imperial heir, but I have to tell the emperor quickly." She smiled and coaxed Concubine Hua, "The emperor loves Niangniang so much, there is a general in the previous dynasty, and Niangniang now has a child, no one in this harem can cross Niangniang, it is the queen, and when she sees Niangniang in the future, she will bow her head for three points." ”

Concubine Hua had tears in her eyes and smiled very happily, and it took a while for her to relieve: "The emperor will return to the palace tomorrow, there is no need to rush to tell the emperor about this, and it is not too late to tell the emperor when the palace fetus is firmly seated." She took Song Zhi's hand and walked to the couch and sat down, "If you want to say that the Fucha nobleman is really unlucky, not to mention the epidemic in the palace just after pregnancy, it's been four months, and she can still be pounced by a cat to give birth to a miscarriage, there are so many people who enjoy the flowers that day, and the cat doesn't pounce on her, whether it is wronged or not!" ”

Hua Feijiao smiled and teased Huan Yixiang: "Fortunately, the Japanese Palace stood far away and didn't bump into it, otherwise it would hurt the child." ”

"Niangniang, now that you are pregnant, is it better to put away this Huan Yixiang first?" Songzhi asked, looking at the incense burner.

"Doctor Zhou said, this incense doesn't hurt the fetus, and it doesn't hurt to use it." Concubine Hua got up, motioned to the palace people to open the incense burner, and sprinkled some more into it, "The emperor loves the palace to use Huanyi incense, if you don't smell it, you will be angry." ”

Concubine Hua took a deep breath of Huan Yixiang, revealing a look of intoxication and fascination.

In the afternoon, An Lingrong was taking a nap, and in his hazy sleepy eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar bright yellow sitting on the edge of the bed, blinking and waking up for three minutes: "Your Majesty?" ”

The emperor was sitting on the edge of the bed squinting and resting, when he heard An Lingrong's voice and woke up suddenly.

"Won't the emperor come back tomorrow?" An Lingrong sat up, raised his hand and touched the face of the emperor's servant, "I must be in a hurry to come back, the emperor will lie down and rest for a while, and the concubine will rub it for you, loose and loose." ”

The emperor didn't say a word, stretched out his hand to hold An Lingrong's hand, and his voice was hoarse and low: "I am in Henan, I heard about you and the nobles of Fucha, and I remember it very much, and I will come back as soon as I finish the matter." The queen said that your face was very bad that day, and I wanted to come to see you and see that you were okay to rest assured. ”

An Lingrong saw the emperor's sadness, and said with a gentle smile: "The concubine has the emperor's memory, everything is fine." ”

The emperor touched her face, smiled briefly, and turned to talk about the Fucha noble, with a deep sadness in his eyes: "The child of the Fucha nobleman is gone, and I don't have a child." He looked down at the green bricks on the ground and said in a trance, "Why, my children can't survive well." ”

"Shiro, don't talk nonsense, isn't the sixth elder brother just living a good life?" An Lingrong had never seen the emperor like this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to consol, "There are also concubines and the children in Sister Guan's womb, and they will definitely survive well." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Sister Guan is two months pregnant, is the emperor happy?" ”

The emperor raised his eyes to look at An Lingrong, and what fell into his eyes was her warm and moving smile, and his heart moved: "Well, for this, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

An Lingrong blinked his eyes and asked him silently.

"When the Guan nobles were demoted because of her father a few days ago, they suffered a lot of grievances, and now that she is pregnant, I want to compensate her for something." The emperor said slowly, "I want to make her a concubine, what do you think?" ”

This is a debt hidden in the emperor's heart for many years. The former Queen Chunyuan failed to give birth to the second elder brother after all the hardships, and died in childbirth, and now that Zhen Huan is pregnant, the emperor feels that God has sent the child back to him again, and the moment he learned that Zhen Huan was pregnant, he had unusual expectations for this child.

But when it came to sealing the concubine, the emperor also had to consider An Lingrong's mood.

For An Bihuai's salt management battle, the emperor rested on Jin to seal An Lingrong as a concubine, but now he wants to seal the nobles of Guan as a concubine, he is afraid that An Lingrong will taste it.

"The emperor just decides, and asks the concubines what to do?" An Lingrong is a little strange, this is not the first time, the emperor always comes to ask her opinion, but her position is not enough, where can she be the master? Could it be that if she says no, the emperor really won't do it?

An Lingrong would not know that if she said a word, the emperor would definitely put her mind first.

An Lingrong thought about it, thinking that the emperor thought that she would be jealous because of this, so he specially asked her. So he said empathetically: "Sister Guan has indeed been wronged recently, and that day Cao Guiren also mocked my sister in front of Jingren Palace for not being pregnant, and my sister was so angry that she fainted, and almost caused a catastrophe. ”

"Cao Guiren has been a little unkind lately." The emperor frowned, "A few years ago, I went to see Concubine Duan, but Cao Guiren didn't take Wen Yi a few times, and I said that she would be better if she got through." Concubine Duan injured her body in her early years, and she couldn't have children anymore, but with Wen Yi by her side, her body was getting better day by day. ”

An Lingrong smiled lightly, and then said, "Is the emperor going to see Sister Guan?" ”

"Hmm." The emperor motioned for An Lingrong to lie down, and twisted the corners of the quilt for her, "You sleep for a while, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

"The concubine sends the emperor." An Lingrong has been getting more and more sleepy recently, and now his head is on the pillow, and sleepiness is sweeping in again.

At dusk, news came from the palace that the emperor had named Zhen Huan as a concubine and walked with Concubine Jing to be canonized.

The next day, the emperor was eating oranges in the queen's palace, and after taking a bite, he almost lost his teeth from acid.

The queen hurriedly confessed: "The concubine hasn't tried it, I don't know if it's sour, the emperor still don't eat it." ”

"It's terrible sore." The emperor's eyes did not take off the book in his hand, but he still instructed the queen, "Don't throw it away in a hurry, send it to Concubine Guan, she has changed her appetite now, and she likes to eat sour food the most." ”

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth paused, and then she said: "Sour and spicy girl, it's a good sign." ”

"Your Majesty, King Guojun has arrived at Ninghui Hall." Su Peisheng came in and said.

The emperor muttered softly, got up, and left without looking back: "I will go to Broken Yuxuan tonight, the queen doesn't have to wait for me." ”

The queen looked at the back of the emperor leaving in surprise, and only had time to hurriedly salute the emperor.

"Niangniang, I'm fifteen today, and the emperor ...... him" Jian Qiu saw the queen's lost soul and couldn't help but speak.

"Concubine Wan is gentle and intelligent, the most perceptive of the sacred heart, and has just conceived the emperor's heir, it is inevitable to look forward to the emperor's favor, and the emperor should accompany her more." The queen could barely maintain the dignified smile on the corner of her mouth, but she still made excuses for the nobles of Guan.

But even if she knew that this was the emperor's intention, the queen's heart was still on fire, and the unwillingness to take away her husband and the shame of keeping the empty room alone in the middle palace tore her, which was really hard to swallow.

used to be Concubine Hua, and now she is a concubine of Guan, all of them are cheap girls who don't know the height of the sky!

In Ninghui Hall, the emperor talked to King Guojun about how to make Zhen Huan's birthday banquet lively and innovative.

"The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Concubine Guan, I want to go to the Old Summer Palace to do a good job for her, so that she can have a good time." The emperor put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "It's just that right now, the matter of Henan's boycott has just settled, and I have a lot of things on hand, and I want to find someone to take more trouble for me." ”

King Guojun's eyes flashed slightly, and he responded: "Brother Chen, an idler, is the best at doing this kind of thing, and the royal brother can rest assured." ”

On the other side, the Queen Mother summoned the queen and Zhen Huan to Shoukang Palace to talk back.

"Queen, it's the day of canonization in three days, how are you preparing?" The Queen Mother looked at the queen, "The days are a little tight, but they are a little rushed." ”

Zhen Huan hurriedly got up and said: "The concubines don't dare to ask in vain, everything is up to the queen mother and the queen." ”

"You sit down, the mourning family knows that you are sensible." The Queen Mother motioned for her to sit down, and then looked at the Queen again, "It's just that, although in a hurry, this ceremony cannot be lost." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the concubines are ready." The queen said with a smile, "The auspicious clothes on the day of the canonization of the Guan nobles did not have time to be made, so the concubines asked the Ministry of Rites to change the auspicious clothes when the concubines were crowned." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and praised the queen twice: "It is expedient, and it is not rude, queen, you have done a good job." ”

After coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, the queen returned to Jingren Palace on her own, and Zhen Huan went to the Chunxi Palace.

"Rong'er, do you feel better?" Zhen Huan couldn't help but worry when she saw An Lingrong still sitting on the bed, "It's been half a month, why hasn't it been good, hasn't Imperial Doctor Zhang taken care of it carefully?" ”

An Lingrong smiled: "Don't blame the Imperial Doctor, it's me who has been lazy and doesn't like to move around for a while, but Imperial Doctor Zhang has persuaded me to come down and walk around again and again." She touched her feet, which were a little swollen, "My feet are uncomfortable when I take two steps, and Aunt Fenruo gives me a massage every day that doesn't work." ”

"Looking at the way you look, I'm scared too." Zhen Huan touched her belly, "There are still three or four months, and it's already so difficult." ”

"If you can give birth to the child safely, no matter how difficult it is, it won't be difficult." An Lingrong held Zhen Huan's hand and said with a light smile, "The day after tomorrow is my sister's birthday, and I can't move around. Turning his head and asking Cui Yin to take the brocade box placed in the second layer of the shelf, "This is a silk fan made by myself, and it is the best to use it in summer." ”

Inside the brocade box are two fans, jade fan bones, the fan surface is smooth and shiny, without the slightest embellishment, but there is a sense of low-key luxury.

Zhen Huan couldn't put it down when she saw it, took out one of the fans and fanned it, and a cool breeze came to her face: "Rong'er, your hands are so skillful, you can do anything." I can cook, I can make wine, I can embroider, I can make rouge, I can make silk fans, all of them are ten fingers, yours is ten times stronger than mine. ”

"It's just some gadgets to pass the morning, my sister's hands are reading and writing, how can I compare them like this." An Lingrong saw that Zhen Huan liked it, and she was also happy in her heart.

As he was talking, Ju Qing suddenly hurried in from outside.

"Little master, the emperor asked someone to pass on the decree, saying that he was going to leave for the Old Summer Palace tomorrow, Aunt Jinxi asked the slave maid to come to the little master to go back and see what things to bring." Ju Qing changed into a close-fitting palace maid and said to Zhen Huan.

"Okay, I got it." Zhen Huan nodded, then got up and said goodbye to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong sent Zhen Huan away with a smile, looking at Ju Qing's back from a distance, a smile flashed in his eyes. In this life, Ju Qing has become the person who serves her sister, it's good.

After talking to Zhen Huan about his son's words, An Lingrong lost his sleepiness and was about to get up, when he suddenly heard the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground at the door, and couldn't help but look up, only to see Cardamom hiding behind the pillar: "Cardamom, what's wrong?" Getting up and getting out of bed, An Lingrong walked to Cardamom's side, but found that her body was trembling uncontrollably.

An Lingrong was a little strange, and looked further away in the direction of cardamom, but saw that King Guojun was walking into Shoukang Palace.

Frowning slightly, An Lingrong let Cardamom go into the house first.
