Concubine Yu is about to give birth...
When the emperor heard such news, he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. As a son of heaven who didn't have too many children, so he knew the names and even personalities of each of them clearly, he really remembered that the imperial doctors said that Concubine Yu would give birth in at least half a month!
However, whether he was shocked or annoyed, the emperor still put aside these concerns and immediately rushed to Yonghe Palace. Halfway through the journey, he just remembered that today seemed to be the day when Zhu Ying took Zhang Shou to visit Concubine Yu. Although he had known about this for a long time and the Empress Dowager had not said anything, he still immediately gave an order to Chen Yongshou behind him.
"Go and tell them that the Yonghe Palace must be in chaos right now, so tell Zhang Shou and Yingying not to go."
Chen Yongshou quickened his pace after leaving the Qianqing Palace, lest the emperor, who was in good health, leave him far behind. As a result, he was out of breath and it took him a while to react. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and could only desperately chase after the emperor while cautiously saying, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang went to Ciqing Palace to give a lecture early this morning, so he must have gone to Yonghe Palace a long time ago."
The emperor suddenly stopped. He was afraid of nothing else, but he was afraid that Concubine Yu would be upset when she saw Zhang Shou at this critical moment. Although he had never given birth to a child, he had asked the imperial physician about the situation after the disaster of welcoming two inseparable baby girls. So he knew very well that if the mother was nervous or even depressed, it would be bad.
He couldn't help but curse, "Why did they have to do it today? Hurry up, when we get to Yonghe Palace, let Zhang Shou and Yingying go back first. It's worse than anything else if they stand there now!"
Chen Yongshou nodded repeatedly, but he didn't agree in his heart. Zhang Shou was already very bold. At least he had never seen a lecturer in the East Palace who dared to instigate the prince to hug the emperor's thigh and cry. And Zhu Ying... This little girl dared to pull the emperor's beard when she was a child. Who can control her? When she loses her temper, the emperor has to give in! If you ask them to go back, will they go back
Therefore, as he saw the Yonghe Palace in sight, although he was already a little sore, he still quickened his pace and rushed ahead of the emperor. As soon as he entered the palace, he asked a palace servant next to him, "Are Master Zhang and his wife still here?"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment and then nodded hurriedly. The emperor, who was long-legged and swift, had already arrived at this time and immediately shouted: "Let him and Yingying go back! At a time like giving birth, what do these two children know..."
Before he could finish his words, a dissenting voice came from the side: "How can the emperor say that! Just now, Scholar Zhang was chatting with her and calmed the Royal Concubine. Now he and Miss Zhu are changing their armor, just to make the Royal Concubine happy!"
The emperor turned his head and saw that the person who refuted him was Concubine Jiang. He was a little confused - after all, he always knew that Concubine Jiang had the same personality as Concubine He. After meeting him, she was cautious and obedient in everything.
But he then noticed a more important problem, and asked in surprise: "What armor? Why do they need to wear armor in Yonghe Palace? And they are so happy, what does this mean?"
