Concubine Chu peeled two grapes, put them on a tray, and presented them to the queen.

"This grape is sweet but not sour, Ling Jieyu likes sour now, there is no such blessing."

Sour and spicy girl, the meaning of Concubine Chu's words is provocative.

The queen closed the Buddhist scriptures, "This palace used to be obsessed with worshipping the Buddha, and I didn't notice such a smart person as Concubine Chu in the harem. ”

Concubine Chu smiled and said nothing, "The concubine is stupid, she doesn't understand the battles in the harem, she just wants to raise Princess Huai'an well and be decent." ”

She turned her head around, covered her lips and said: "I don't know if Niangniang has heard about it, after the incident of Zuo Xiang passed, the emperor strictly investigated Zuo Xiang's henchmen. In partisan disputes, the decline of the left minister, and the emperor's checks and balances on power, how can the other side be free and happy? ”

"The good days of the concubine should come to an end."

The queen's aunt is the current queen mother, and her mother's family is a relative of the country, how can she not know this kind of thing.

The tea at hand was cold, and Concubine Chu didn't sit for long, so please retire. The queen stroked the worn corner of the Buddhist scriptures, "Wen Xiurong's illness, isn't it okay?" ”

Since beating Concubine Zhao and becoming a nobleman, she was confined in the cold palace, Wen Xiurong was infected with the wind cold under the pretext of being cold, and she never came to Kunning Palace again.

Comb Willow shook her head slightly.

The queen smiled slightly, "Wen Xiurong is a person who values affection. Since this chess piece cannot be used by the palace, the palace does not want to use Ling Jieyu in vain. ”

"Niangniang means ......" combed the willow with a warm cup of tea.

The queen pointed to the rim of the cup, "Since Concubine Chu came to the palace, how could the palace disappoint her?" ”

……

Li Xuanyin was reviewing the recital in the Qiankun Palace, and he looked coldly at the invitation presented, and as soon as the left minister fell, Qi Bohou and his party began to be eager to try. A small magistrate, who didn't do anything practical, dared to play the Beijing tune!

Outside the hall, Chen Dehai listened to the words of the little palace maid who came in a hurry, how dare he delay, turned around and entered the inner hall. As soon as he entered, the folds on the imperial case flew straight towards him, and the three mountain hats suddenly rolled to the ground.

Chen Dehai was busy kneeling down, "Your Majesty ......"

Li Xuanyin threw his pen and looked at him coldly, "What's the matter." ”

Far away, Chen Dehai felt that the emperor's heart was not very good, and he did not know which minister of the previous dynasty had taken the fold of life and death. He secretly sighed unlucky, how could something happen at this time.

Chen Dehai glanced at the emperor's face, did not dare to look more, and repeated the words of the little palace maid one by one.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, a chill suddenly appeared in his neck.

Li Xuanyin glanced at Chen Dehai coldly, "Go to the Imperial Garden." ”

……

Wanfu stood for a long time, sat down on the round stool again, and unhurriedly twisted the beads in her hand.

Hearing the movement of the holy car, Yingying got up, tears naturally squeezed out of her eyes, half aggrieved, half frightened, lifted her skirt and pounced on the man who came over.

Ying Concubine watched Wanfu play coldly, she had never disdained to use this method before, but now she knew that the emperor did not like to see women crying, but it all depended on who the crying person was.

She watched the emperor helplessly hugging the woman in his arms, whispering softly, as if her heart was dripping blood, all the tenderness that the emperor had for her was now all given to another woman.

Ying Concubine closed her eyes.

Li Xuanyin looked at Wanfu hurriedly rushing towards him with a big belly, her heart was beating for a while, she took the person into her arms with a headache, and patted Wanfu's forehead, "The month is so old, I don't know how to be careful!" ”

"The concubines don't care, the emperor's child is almost gone today, and the emperor wants to call the shots for the concubines!" Wanfu was tired of falling into the man's arms, tears fell down, she stood for a long time, her body couldn't stand it, and her lips gradually retreated from blood, like this, it seemed that she had really been wronged.

Li Xuanyin quietly twisted the wrench of his thumb, touched the high bulging belly of the woman in his arms, his face paled, lifted his eyelids, and swept towards Ying Concubine for an instant.

It was this glance, like a sharp knife, that pierced Ying Concubine's heart and blood. Today's events, whether she did it or not, the emperor will not believe her words, and will only stand up for Jiang Wanfu.

"What's going on?"

It is self-evident who this sentence is asking.

Wanfu didn't speak, and casually pointed to a palace person who was waiting, "The concubine is wronged, the emperor asked the concubine's maid to say it." ”

The little palace maid fell down from the steps, the most embarrassed one, the palm of her hand was worn out, the hairpin fell to the ground, a few strands of broken hair fell to the side of her shoulder, she knelt down, and cried: "I beg the emperor to be the master of the master!" ”

"The slave maid followed Sister Qiuchi to the Internal Affairs Mansion to get the ice basin today, passed through the imperial garden, and did not see the master of the concubine, the master of the concubine directly called the slave and maid, and opened her mouth to say that Sister Qiuchi was rude and collided, first slapped Sister Qiuchi, and then asked the slave and maid to go back to Zhaoyang Palace to pass the word to the master. The master is pregnant, and he is tired of these trivial things, if he has fetal gas, won't the gains outweigh the losses! The slave and maid begged the master of the concubine to let the slave and the maid go, but the master of the concubine raised the voice that the master must come to lead the person in person. ”

"The slave had no choice but to go back and ask the master to come over. The master took Sister Qiuchi back, but who knew that Concubine Ying silently put beads on the steps, trying to make the master slip and have a miscarriage! ”

"Fortunately, the master is fine, otherwise the slave and maid will be guilty and deserve death!"

The cuffs were torn off, Li Xuanyin lowered her eyes, the woman in her arms raised her face, stretched out her slender fingertips, and pointed aggrievedly at the palace maid with red and swollen cheeks behind her, "What's the use of the emperor sealing the position of concubine Jieyu, they are not afraid of concubines at all, they will beat them when they say they will fight, and they also try to let the concubines have a miscarriage and murder the children of the emperor and the concubines!" ”

Li Xuanyin stroked the tears from Wanfu's eyes with his fingertips, raised his eyes to look at Ying Concubine, his face was as cold as ice, "Beat the palace people for no reason and murder the dragon heir, can you recognize it?" ”

Ying Concubine was stunned.

She looked at the man in front of her, only to feel strange, she straightened her back, and hugged the last part, "If the concubine said that the concubine didn't want to harm the child in Ling Jieyu's belly, the emperor can be trusted?" ”

"How can I believe you?" Li Xuanyin looked at her indifferently, "You have done so many wrong things, how can I believe you!" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave swears with her life, these beads really have nothing to do with the master, the master didn't think about harming Ling Jieyu!" Qing Yuan knelt down and pleaded bitterly, "The master just fell down the steps and miscarried, how can the master bear to use the same means against the other concubines." ”

"Ask the emperor to believe in the master, the master really hasn't done ......"

Concubine Ying's heart was already cold, and she understood what the emperor meant, no matter whether she was wrong or not today, the emperor would favor Jiang Wanfu. Because Jiang Wanfu was pregnant with the dragon species, because she had been targeting Jiang Wanfu all along, from beginning to end.

She couldn't figure out why there were beads on the steps. Suddenly, she suddenly remembered that today in the Imperial Garden, it was Concubine Chu who mentioned to her that when she went to the Internal Affairs Mansion to receive an ice basin, she met someone from Zhaoyang Palace.

"Ling Jieyu is really a good life, she can clearly use the ice basin, her body is safe, and she can ask the emperor to save her from going to Kunning Palace, this kind of grace really makes me envious."

Ying Concubine came back to her senses, and a wave of hatred suddenly turned out in her heart, she clenched her palms, it was these two sluts who joined forces and deliberately calculated her.

Chapter 90

Ying Concubine was finally confined in the Chaolu Palace, and was not allowed to leave the palace without a holy order.

Wanfu stood for a long time, she was tired, her body was weakly half leaning into the man's arms, she bit her lower lip aggrievedly, "The concubine is tired." ”

There were four months to go, and she had a good baby, with a big belly that completely covered both calves. Li Xuanyin pressed his eyebrows with a headache, couldn't he see that even if Concubine Ying was wrong, this woman also put some thought into it.

Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes, the face of the person in his arms was thin, beads of sweat were on his forehead, and he was not energetic. It's just that, after all, nothing serious, she is pregnant, she should be cautious, and it is not too much to be careful.

When she returned to Zhaoyang Palace, Wanfu came down from Luanyu, she was so hot that she bumped all the way, and finally stepped on the ground, and she couldn't hold back any longer, retching, and vomited all the filth in her stomach.

Li Xuanyin sank his face and went over to support Wanfu, "Uncomfortable? ”

Wanfu was very uncomfortable, her stomach was overturned, her brain was dizzy, her limbs were sore, and she couldn't lift her energy, so she couldn't wait to give birth to this child immediately, so as not to toss her.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at the man pitifully, and the tears flowed down like broken threads.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is so uncomfortable......"

The slender figure with a big belly, standing there miserably, looking at him with teary eyes, Li Xuanyin immediately felt so distressed, held Wanfu's waist, hugged the person in his arms, saw that she was about to vomit again, and did not dislike to avoid it, stroked her back one by one, and looked at the palace people who were waiting with a heavy face, "What are you doing in a daze, the master vomits like this, why don't you go to the imperial doctor quickly!" ”

The people of the palace ran out in a hurry, and almost tripped on the threshold under their feet.

Qian Dai couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's the height of summer, and the master is so hot that he can't bear the heat, not only vomiting badly, but also often so uncomfortable that he can't sleep all night at night. ”

Hearing this, Li Xuanyin's brows furrowed tightly, and she wanted to reprimand, but seeing her vomit like this, how could she still be ruthless.

"Nonsense, why don't you tell me if it's so uncomfortable?"

Wanfu collapsed into Li Xuanyin's arms, "The emperor is busy, and the concubine doesn't want the emperor to worry." ”

Li Xuanyin was speechless for a while, feeling that this person was too stupid, a harem concubine, but whenever she was pregnant, she couldn't wait to tell him about the pain of pregnancy several times a day. However, when this person should be wronged, he has to hide all these grievances. Doesn't she know that she has the body, and when she goes to the Qiankun Palace to deliver a message, he can soften his heart and come to see her.

He stroked the tears at the end of the woman's eyes in his arms, lowered his eyes, "When the first emperor was here, it was customary to go to the palace to escape the heat in summer. This year is indeed very hot, so I ordered the people to pack up and move to the palace in a few days. ”

……

When the saint arrived at Kunning Palace, the empress was in a trance, and she could not remember how long it had been since the emperor had come to see her.

The eldest prince was studying calligraphy in the study, and when he heard his father arrive at Kunning Palace, his eyes lit up, he put down his pen, and ran out. Running to the bottom of the corridor, the eldest prince stopped abruptly, and the little eunuch who was waiting behind him was caught off guard, and he stumbled down the steps.

"The queen mother instructed Jing'er to be steady in front of her father and emperor, and to have the style of a prince."

The eldest prince muttered to himself, smoothed the folds of his robe, looked at the little eunuch who had fallen to the ground and was very dissatisfied with him, "You go and clean up and come to serve me." ”

In the inner hall, the queen led the eldest prince to make a salute and instructed the palace people to make hot tea.

Li Xuanyin sat on the narrow couch by the window, and the eldest prince walked over with the written practice characters, "Father, Mr. said that Jing'er's characters have improved." ”

Although the eldest prince is young, he has a steady heart and is gifted and intelligent, and if it were not for those things, Li Xuanyin would have attached great importance to this son.

He took the two pages of calligraphy, and his pen was very clumsy, although it was a little clumsy, but it was already very good among his peers.

Li Xuanyin did not hesitate to praise, "Jing'er's handwriting has made great progress. ”

The eldest prince won the praise of his father, and his face showed joy, and some children were immature and shy.

The queen looked at this scene, her fingertips moved slightly, and she came over to serve tea in person, "Jing'er is hardworking, and sometimes the concubines can't help but feel distressed. ”

"Jing'er likes to read, and Jing'er is not bitter." The eldest prince shook his head firmly, "My father once said to Jing'er that since he was born in the royal family, he should not be defeated and have the world in his heart, and Jing'er will always keep it in mind. ”

Li Xuanyin smiled, patted the eldest prince on the shoulder with satisfaction, and praised: "Jing'er is like me, and she looks like me back then. ”

The eldest prince went back to the study to practice calligraphy, and the queen presented the palace rules of this month to the table.

When the eldest prince left, Li Xuanyin's face paled, and he casually fiddled with the white jade wrench of his thumb, and his aura was calm, which was a prestige that belonged to the emperor alone.

"You taught Jing'er very well."

The queen narrowed her eyes, a moment of crystal flashed in her eyes, and she smiled warmly: "Jing'er is smart, diligent and hardworking, and the concubine was born in the inner courtyard, and she has not taught anything. ”

Li Xuanyin turned the page of the palace and didn't look at it again, "I plan to move to the palace the day after tomorrow to escape the summer." ”

Hearing this, the queen was stunned, and quickly took away this surprise, "When the first emperor is here, he likes to go to the palace." After the emperor reigned on the throne, he abolished this custom, so how could the emperor suddenly think of going to the palace this year? ”

Li Xuanyin's eyes were slightly soft, although it flashed quickly, but the queen still noticed that she was a little distracted, and the person who could make the emperor make an exception and spend a lot of effort could have anyone else besides the lord of Zhaoyang Palace.

Hearing the emperor speak, she was not suspicious, but convinced. In front of her, the emperor never hid his attitude towards the harem concubines.

"Ling Jieyu is pregnant and hot, and the palace is refreshing, so she can live for a while, so that she doesn't have to be so uncomfortable."

Li Xuanyin paused for a moment and lifted his eyes, "What does the queen think?" ”

The queen's fingertips moved lightly, and there was still a decent smile on her face, "The princes of the harem have died one after another, and now only Ling Jieyu is pregnant, so she has to take good care of her." ”

Li Xuanyin nodded, it seemed to be discussed, but in fact there was no doubt. The emperor's meaning, who can dare to say a word.

The queen was stunned from the bottom of her heart, and said: "Jing'er still has to study, and the concubines stay in the harem to take care of Jing'er, so it is better to let Concubine Zhuang's sister follow the emperor to the palace and assist in the affairs of the harem." ”
