Verse 5
……
"Slut!" Ning Guifei brushed down the fruit plate on the case with one hand, "I don't know what kind of belly I had, I was pitied by the emperor last time, and I was pregnant!" ”
The bright red and round cherries on the plate crackled and rolled to the ground, this is the emperor's personal reward, only Kunning Palace and Qixiang Palace have only two copies, others can't eat if they want to, and Niangniang fell to the ground like this.
Lingshuang hurriedly sent someone to pick it up, so as not to let anyone with a heart see it.
"Niangniang is angry, but she is a lowly body, and her blessings are very thin, and she must not have the luck of the dragonborn."
Ning Guifei sneered, "That slut Fu Bo can be pregnant with a dragonborn, why hasn't he been pregnant yet!" ”
Lingshuang knelt on the ground and persuaded: "Niangniang is blessed with all the heavens, and the holy grace is in the body, why worry about not being able to conceive the dragon descendant." There are so many concubines in the harem, and now there are not only the eldest prince and Princess Shunning. The emperor's favor for his mother is comparable to others, I guess...... It is expected that good news will come out of Qixiang Palace soon! ”
"Really?" Ning Guifei frowned, her anger calmed down because of these words, she stroked her lower abdomen, "You go to the Tai Hospital to invite Imperial Doctor Guo to the palace, and the palace should ask him how long it will take to take this medicine to recuperate." ”
……
Lu Chang was pregnant with the Dragonborn, and the queen understood that she was unwell and avoided asking for peace every day. Then someone couldn't hold back the sourness, "When Sister Jing has Princess Shunning, please Enke never sets, this Lu Changzai is relying on the dragon descent not to put Niangniang in his eyes." ”
It was Chen Guiren who spoke, Chen Guiren and Lu Changzai entered the palace together, and their family background was not much higher than that seven-rank petty official, but that person was so famous, he quietly accepted the holy favor, and accidentally got the dragon descendant, which was simply hateful, making her jealous and itching.
No one took this to answer, but he also agreed, saying that it sounded good Lu Changzai was cautious and cautious, focusing on the dragonborn, and if it didn't sound good, he was pampered and arrogant, and he didn't take others in his eyes, after all, he was always there without a title, and he grabbed a lot of them in the harem.
In the silence, someone suddenly opened his mouth, "The concubine looks at it too, then Lu Changzai is too hypocritical." ”
The person who spoke was Jiang Guifei, Jiang Guifei covered her lips and smiled, but the words were sour.
Please be safe, comb willow came over and pinched the queen's forehead, "Niangniang's wind is getting heavier, the slave maid went to the Tai Hospital and asked Imperial Doctor Chen to come over and show Niangniang." ”
"It's an old problem, and I can't get better with any medicine." The queen rubbed her eyebrows with one hand, and glanced at the cold tea on the table below, "Is the concubine in the Ningguo Mansion still in the cold palace?" ”
Comb Liu has seen the side of the concubine, she is indeed a very beautiful beauty embryo, her face is not similar to Jiang Guifei, she has a unique charming charm, like a person who came out of the painting. There is no woman in the harem who is not beautiful, but that person has changed these three points to ten points in his life.
"On the day when the emperor rested in Xianfu Palace, on the way back to Qiankun Palace, he saw a woman who was punished by Ning Guifei. Concubine Jiang was furious, beat people with twenty whips and threw them to the cold palace, and they were not released. She paused, and then said, "Niangniang may be a lot of worries, the emperor is diligent in government affairs, if he takes a fancy to that woman, why will people be beaten and punished in vain." ”
The queen opened her eyes and smiled, "You are wrong. ”
"If it weren't for the emperor's secret care, with that concubine's ability, she was whipped twenty times, and she was locked up in a cold palace where no one cared about, would she be able to live until now?"
"It's like the concubine in the cold palace."
Speaking of Ying Concubine, Comb Liu looked at Niangniang carefully, lowered her head and didn't dare to say more.
The queen said lightly: "Concubine Ying is a waste concubine, so she shouldn't be left to serve." The concubine was punished, Concubine Jiang couldn't stay, Lu Changzai was pregnant, and there was just a shortage of manpower, so she transferred someone over. ”
Comb Liu was taken aback, "Niangniang is like this, the emperor is ......"
The queen was already tired, and lowered her eyes, "What are you afraid of, if the emperor is interested in that concubine, he will be satisfied with the palace's approach." But whether the concubine had a different heart and had a personal relationship with the emperor, causing Lu Chang to have a miscarriage, has nothing to do with the palace. ”
Chapter 6
Lu Changzai is indeed not pretending to be sick, but really sick, since she was pregnant, she has morning sickness, and the doctor has diagnosed the pulse, only saying that the woman's physique is different, and she is a kind of morning sickness. I opened a few recipes, but I still felt very uncomfortable after eating, and I drank a few mouthfuls of porridge in breakfast and vomited it clean.
Yesterday, the emperor came up to see it once, and he didn't say a word, the court has something to do, although Lu Changzai wants the emperor to stay, but the harem affairs are bigger than the government, and she still has these concerns.
She endured the discomfort and ate a small half bowl of clear porridge, Liu He brought over the bitter decoction again, the medicine tasted pungent, and it was very bitter, Lu Changzai took it, and he didn't blink his eyes, and drank it in one go.
Liu He looked distressed, "The slave and maid saw that the harem masters were preparing candied fruit for taking medicine, and the slave and maid took two packets from the imperial dining room, and the master was slow and ate two candied fruits to relieve his suffering." ”
"My mother always taught me that only when you endure hardships can you become a superior person. It's just a mouthful of bitter medicine, as long as it can keep the Dragonborn safe, there's nothing I can't eat. Lu Changzai put down the medicine bowl and handed it to her, as long as a bowl of water went to get rid of the bitterness.
If you think about it carefully, you can also understand that Lu Changzai is from a low background, and the degree of use in the house is not higher than that in Beijing, such as Ning Guifei, a noble girl from a family can't eat a mouthful of bitterness, if she eats, she wishes the emperor would see it.
It was at this time that Wanfu entered the Yinshuang Zhai.
Lu Changzai is pregnant, but he is not fit to leave the palace, if you want this dragonborn to not be born, the best way is to put someone around you. And this person will end up being an outcast no matter what, and Wanfu is the queen's best choice.
She entered the temple gate and knelt respectfully in front of Lu Changzai, "The slave has seen the master of Changzai." ”
Since he is the person personally pointed out by the queen, Lu Changzai can't say anything more even if he wants to.
She pursed her lips, stirred the handkerchief in her hand, and glanced at Liu He again, Liu He understood, folded her hands in front of her, and deliberately brought a little coercion, "The master asked you to raise your head." ”
Wanfu paused, slowly raised her face, but her eyebrows and eyes were always lowered, meek and respectful, but she couldn't see anything else.
When that plain little face was raised, Lu Chang suddenly froze in his heart, not for anything else, this face was too good-looking, she had never seen such a charming and bright woman, even Jiang Guifei was less than three points.
After she was surprised, a deep worry was clouded in her heart. Now that she has a dragonborn, the queen blatantly arranges such a delicate woman into her palace, what is her intention! She can only suffer from grievances, and if she says more, she doesn't know how to be respectful and humble, and she is pampered and arrogant.
Liu He was also shocked by the woman's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little more distressed for the master, the master had trouble sleeping and eating since he was pregnant, and those people couldn't see the master better!
"Master, this ......"
What can Lu Chang say, she smiled bitterly, as if she was tired, "There is no one in the East Chamber, you can live there in the future." ”
Wanfu left the hall, and Liu He finally couldn't help crying, "Master, what does the queen mean, I know that my master is pregnant, and I sent a woman with such a posture over, what kind of situation do I put my master in!" ”
Lu Changzai thinks more thoroughly than her, the most important thing in the palace is beauty, there is Ning Guifei, Jiang Guifei first, there will be other beautiful women, the emperor is not yet here at the age of this year, every three years, the women who pinch out the water are one after another, stubble by stubble, jealousy is not jealous, the most important thing at the moment is to raise the dragon in the belly, this is her reliance in the palace for the rest of her life.
She lowered her eyes and gently stroked her lower abdomen, "Find out where that woman came from, as long as she keeps her duty, let her go." ”
Liu He wanted to say more, and when he saw that his master's face was tired, he swallowed the words in his stomach.
……
There was a great drought in the north, and Li Xuanyin convened the courtiers to discuss the matter, and they did not disperse until noon. He leaned back in the chair, rubbing his fingertips against the white jade wrench, his eyebrows slightly locked, and his tiredness was obvious.
He has been in power for five years, the wind and rain are smooth, only the trivial matters that are difficult to deal with in the government in Beijing, but in this year's drought, can not get out of Beijing, those local officials are corrupt and stubborn when they succeed the emperor, and now the disaster comes out, the disadvantages are fully revealed, no matter how the people are, they all want to make a big profit from it.
When Chen Dehai entered the palace and saw that the emperor was tired, he knew that he was worried about the drought again. Two months have passed, and the officials sent out have come back in waves, their faces sallow and scorched, each worse than the other, and the officials are still like this, which shows how desperate those people are.
"Your Majesty, it's noon, but do you want the servants to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal?"
Li Xuanyin half-lifted his eyes to look at him, this look made Chen Dehai stunned, he didn't understand what he said wrongly, and carefully persuaded: "The emperor is sympathetic to the people, it is the blessing of all the people, and he must pay attention to his body when he works all day long." The emperor didn't use a few bites of breakfast to go to the morning court, and this lunch can not be delayed any longer. ”
The emperor didn't say anything for a long time, and he knocked on the case, there was a match and no match, every time he knocked, Chen Dehai's head drooped lower and lower, and he secretly complained, this work in front of the emperor was impossible to do, and he couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts more and more.
After a long time, Chen Dehai's head was about to be buried in the cracks of the gold bricks, and finally heard the emperor open his mouth, "Let's pass the meal." ”
Chen Dehai exhaled deeply.
He will walk out of the palace gate, pause suddenly, pat his head, bad thing, the emperor just wanted to ask Miss Wanfu about it, Miss Wanfu transferred to Yinshuangzhai such a big thing made him forget, passed the lunch but had to remember to say that with the emperor, such an important matter can be forgotten, he, the great eunuch in front of the emperor, has also done it!
Chen Dehai urged the imperial dining room to make lunch, and hurriedly took it to the Qiankun Palace, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman standing in front of the palace, not Ning Guifei and who else.
Ning Guifei smiled and smiled, her red sleeves added fragrance, and the usually arrogant person lowered her eyebrows and served the pen and ink beside the emperor. Ning Guifei's face was not kind, her lips were plump and her eyes were big, and her black hair was obliquely holding a bright red peony, and she couldn't find a second one so flamboyant in the harem.
Hearing the movement, Concubine Ning looked over and said, "Gonggong Chen has worked hard, the emperor just used hawthorn soup to open his stomach, and he just had lunch." ”
Chen Dehai bowed, smiled dryly, and brought the lunch slowly, I don't know how long Ning Guifei will stay in Qiankun Palace, he still has important things to say about Miss Wanfu, Ning Guifei is not easy to say at this time, he doesn't dare to say it. Who in the harem doesn't know Ning Guifei's temper, arrogant and domineering, even in the queen's mother, she is not very respectful.
Li Xuanyin put down his pen and glanced at him, "Something?" ”
Ning Guifei looked at her suspiciously, how dare Chen Dehai say it, with a suffocated expression, she wanted to speak again.
Li Xuanyin swept past him, took Ning Guifei's hand, and patted it, "You go back first, I will go to see you at night." ”
Although it is a person-by-person word, but the wrists that have been pulled by the emperor are warm, the emperor has a cold temperament, and even more so when the harem concubines are treated, she is a rare one. Concubine Ning pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled shyly, "The concubine will not disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs." ”
When the people left, Li Xuanyin's face turned pale, "Say it." ”
Chen Dehai watched Ning Guifei leave triumphantly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the emperor treats the concubine Niangniang differently, but the root cause is not that the concubine Niangniang has a tough mother's family, the emperor can fight this way out of the princes, but the credit of Zuo Xiang is indispensable, and in terms of it, Zuo Xiang can also be regarded as the emperor's mentor. Although Ning Guifei and the emperor have a childhood sweetheart, if there is no support from the left, she will be rejected by the emperor sooner or later by relying on the nature of the concubine Niangniang, who has no one in her eyes.
He put down his mind and said worriedly: "There is still something that the slave has not reported to the emperor before, and the queen mother has transferred Miss Wanfu to Yinshuangzhai. ”
He hung his head, but he also felt how sharp the line of sight above his head was, and the emperor said lightly: "This is what you call watching every day?" ”
Chen Dehai didn't dare to raise his head, looked at the emperor's face, and retracted his eyes again, "The slave is negligent, please punish the emperor." ”
Li Xuanyin glanced at him, "That's it, you went to Yinshuang Zhai and sent a new lychee to the imperial dining room to send a plate,"
Chen Dehai was surprised, no matter how special Miss Wanfu is to the emperor, she is still a slave, and no one else knows about it, even if the lychee is sent to Yinshuangzhai, it will also fall into Lu Chang's stomach, isn't Miss Wanfu looking at it in vain.
Doubts are doubts, Chen Dehai didn't dare to delay any longer, listened to the order, and immediately withdrew from the hall.
……
The lychee was sent to Yinshuangzhai, and the master was uncomfortable for a day because of the new palace maid, but he was finally happy. Liu He washed the lychee, took it to Lu Chang's hand, and smiled, "It can be seen that the emperor has put the master on the tip of his heart, and this lychee is only available in the harem and Ning Guifei!" ”
Lu Chang overflowed with a trace of sweetness in his heart, but when he thought that it was because of the dragonborn in his womb, he couldn't help but be gloomy, "The holy favor is impermanent, and it is because of this child." ”
Liu He hurriedly said: "Not everyone can conceive a dragonborn, the master is pregnant as soon as he sleeps, which shows that there is a great blessing in his body." ”
Lu Changzai finally couldn't help laughing, and stuffed a lychee into her mouth, "You, you will coax me." ”
Since entering the palace, Lu Chang has been cautious and rarely shows his feelings, this is the first time, the master is happy, and the slave is naturally happy.
While talking and laughing, Liu He remembered the matter, "The master asked the slave and maid to inquire, and the slave and maid inquired." The newcomer Wanfu was originally a person from Jiang Guifei's side, and I heard that she was the concubine of Dingguo Gong. ”
Lu Changzai's eyes were solemn, the concubine entered the palace, and she didn't have to guess what the Dingguo Mansion meant, it seemed that this Wanfu was really the person who arranged it for the emperor.
"Master." Liu He lowered his voice and made a gesture.
"No." Lu Chang shook his head, "No matter how you say that she is the person arranged by the queen, if it weren't for the incident caused by herself, it would inevitably provoke the queen." ”
She has no one to rely on, and no one can afford to offend in this deep palace. Now that she is pregnant, she is becoming more and more eye-catching, and everything should be careful.
"Let people watch carefully, and don't be negligent."
Liu He answered.
Chapter 7
Unloaded the lights in Qixiang Palace that night, and went to the queen to say goodbye the next day, all the concubines said for a while, Ning Guifei was late, she gave the queen a false blessing, sat down, Juan Pa touched her lips, and yawned lazily, "The concubines served the emperor late last night, so they came late, and the queen will not blame the concubines." ”
The words are blame, the eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, how can there be guilt.
Others looked jealous and itchy, but they couldn't sour Lu Chang said it like that, after all, Ning Guifei was not easy to mess with, and she would rather offend the queen than offend Ning Guifei in this palace.
The queen is the lord of the six palaces, her face is calm, and she can't see the slightest abnormality, "Since it is to serve the emperor, what is the blame of this palace." The queen smiled, "It's tired like this, and it's not a big deal to ask for peace one day." ”
This is said generously, but it seems that Ning Guifei is childish, Ning Guifei doesn't care about this, as long as the holy grace is in her body, she is happy to make others jealous.
Please An turmoil naturally did not affect Yinshuangzhai, Lu Changzai still had morning sickness, early in the morning in and out of the hall to ask for water a few times, there were not many palace people in Yinshuangzhai, the two went to get breakfast, as soon as Wanfu came out of the house, she saw two hairy little palace maids crackling and breaking two saucers.
When she arrived in the hall, she heard a sound of retching, and couldn't help frowning, she had heard that Lu Changzai couldn't go to Kunning Palace to greet him because of physical discomfort, she thought it was an excuse, but she didn't want it to be true.
