When Feng Jin arrived at Xihe Palace, the sky was already dark, Yu Nian stopped at the gate of the palace, he stepped off the imperial Nian, looked at the red lantern hanging high, and greeted Fu Bao at the door: "Your master is asleep. ?"
Fu Bao bowed his body and said, "Long live lord, the lady said that she had slept for a long time this afternoon and was tired, and she has not slept yet."
Feng Jin didn't know that Zhuang Luoyan was just waiting for him to come, so he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Forget it, no need to report, I just go in directly."
In the house, Yunxi added an extra lantern to the house. Since the master was pregnant, Xihe Palace has pulled out those gorgeous flowers, and the incense balls and incense have also been collected. The master is now There was only a mint bag hanging on his body, and it was very comfortable to ask.
"Niangniang, you read the book for half an hour every day, can your Highness really know?" After taking a few palace maids to check all around the house, Yun Xi walked to Zhuang Luoyan, took off the lampshade, and cut the candle wick. With a smile, he asked the maid to take the scissors far away, and then took the copper basin in the maid's hand and squatted down.
"I don't know where I have heard it. After two or three months of the fetus, the mother reads books for half an hour every day, listens to music for half an hour, and then listens to my father's stories for half an hour. After birth, she will be very smart." Zhuang Luoyan remembered in a trance. Prenatal education mentioned by a friend in a previous life.
She also heard from friends that many women are not interested in prenatal education until they are not ready to become mothers. When anyone is still happy and single, they don't think about the bear child for no reason. A woman is a magical creature. Before she has no children, she may not have a deep affection for her children. When she has a child, any child will be a cute thing, and her own child is a supreme treasure.
When she heard this argument, she immediately sneered, but now she somewhat agrees with this argument. She closed the book, glanced at her abdomen, and put her feet in the warm water. She regretted that she didn't know about prenatal education.
"Your Highness will be smart and wise in the future," Yun Xi gently squeezed the soles of her feet on behalf of Zhuang Luoyan, feeling a little bit emotional. The niece used to love bathing every day, but now, for the sake of the fetus in her womb, she has become two Bathing for three days, this change is only because the imperial doctor said that the daily bathing of pregnant women is not good for the fetus. "The emperor rewarded two musicians two days ago, and the slaves heard that one of them is good at qin and the other is good at Xiao. Since listening to music is good for His Royal Highness. , it's better to call them to play tomorrow."
"Then don't I have to come often to tell stories for the emperor?" The low male voice rang out, Zhuang Luoyan looked up and saw Feng Jin striding in, she was about to stand up and salute, but the other party walked over with a few steps. , push her to sit on a round stool.
"What's wrong with soaking your feet?" Feng Jin gently pressed Zhuang Luoyan's shoulder, and when Yun Xi wiped Zhuang Luoyan's feet, he picked up the person and put him on the bed, covered the quilt for him before speaking again, "You're pregnant now, and you don't have to follow the red tape in private."
He took the book that Zhuang Luoyan read before, it turned out to be "The Doctrine of the Mean" in the Four Books and Five Classics, Feng Jin couldn't help laughing, it was rare for her to be serious, he never saw his lazy concubine reading these .
"The world's countries can be equal; the rank and position can be remarked; the white blade can be danced; the mean is impossible." Feng Jin opened it casually, and when he saw one of the sentences, he chuckled softly, "Aifei is erudite."
"Your Majesty is making fun of your concubine?" Zhuang Luoyan really meant to let his future children learn the way of the mean. In this harem, it is a great talent to learn to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Feng Jin closed the book and threw the "Moderate Mean" to the side, "My lord, you don't have to learn the way of the mean, he is different from other people, he can be high from birth, the mean is for those who are not strong enough, my Son, of course you don't need anything."
Yun Xi, who was waiting on the side, heard the emperor's words, her brows moved slightly, and then she buried her head lower. No matter whether the emperor's words meant anything else, it was not something she should think about.
"How can the emperor know whether it is a boy or a girl before the child is born?" Zhuang Luoyan changed the topic and said angrily, "If it is a princess, the emperor doesn't like it?"
"Princess I like it too," Feng Jin stretched out his hand to stroke Zhuang Luo's hair and said with a smile, "I like it, whether it's a man or a woman." After saying this, he paused, "But I will let you Give me a prince."
Hearing this, Zhuang Luoyan reached out and poked his chest and snorted.
Feng Jin asked the palace maid to take off her shoes for her, put Zhuang Luoyan in her arms, and sat on the head of the bed, "How about I tell Concubine Ai a story?"
Zhuang Luoyan looked up at the emperor. She seemed to have never seen the emperor tell a story, so she couldn't help but nodded.
"A long, long time ago, there was a man named Pangu. He was taller than a mountain and had more hair than books in the woods..."
Zhuang Luoyan was stunned, isn't this story for her
"Pangu slashed with an axe, and the sky and the earth were separated..."
Forgive Zhuang Luoyan's increasingly blurred consciousness, it is true that this myth story was told too flatly by the emperor. The speed of this flatness is telling a story, it is reading words.
Before Feng Jin finished telling a story, he saw that the woman in his arms had already fallen asleep, and he couldn't help but smile again.
Zhuang Luoyan was awakened by the sound of water. When she opened her eyes, she saw the emperor sitting by the side washing his face. She rubbed her eyes, "What time is it?"
Seeing her confused look, Feng Jin wiped the water off his hands and walked to the bed with a smile: "I woke you up? Sleep a little longer, it's still early."
Zhuang Luoyan closed her eyes when she heard the words. She was indeed a little sleepy. Since the emperor said so, she should do it.
Seeing that Zhuang Luoyan had fallen asleep again, Feng Jin moved lightly again. When he left the room, he also signaled everyone to lighten their hands and feet. After leaving the Xihe Palace, he let go of his hands and feet, and said to the entourage. Gao Dezhong, who was outside the imperial carriage, said: "Gao Dezhong, let me find some interesting little stories, um... It should be suitable for children to listen to."
Gao Dezhong was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Concubine Zhao said last night outside the door, he hurriedly responded, and made up his mind to do it well, which was pleasing to both the emperor and Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Xian Gui sat on the chariot and watched the emperor's imperial chariot leave from the direction of Xihe Palace from a distance. The corner of her mouth moved, and she said coldly, "The emperor really cares about Concubine Zhao." The pregnant woman from Xihe Palace After that, he often runs there, so it can be seen that other women in the palace are not as noble as Zhuang Luoyan.
The servants serving on the side did not dare to answer, so they could only bow their heads one after another. Seeing them like this, Concubine Xian Gui felt even more unhappy in her heart, and said coldly, "Why don't you go to the Queen's place quickly, what are you doing slowly?"
In Jingyang Palace, the queen came to the outer hall and sat down at the top, looking at the first concubine Xian who came to greet her, Pi Xiaorou said without a smile: "I didn't expect the concubine Xian to come so early today, and this palace got up late. I've kept you waiting."
"It was the concubine who came early and disturbed the empress' rest." Concubine Xian Gui took a sip of tea from the palace maid and took a sip. "The tea here is still delicious."
The queen smiled and did not take her favor. This virtuous concubine didn't have this attitude a few days ago. Now that Concubine Zhao was pregnant, the prince she raised before was not the most honorable, so she came up again.
If she wants to get together, will she let her go? If her queen is a stone lion placed at the gate of the palace, anyone can touch it twice
Seeing that the queen treated her coldly, Concubine Xiangui was not embarrassed. She just lowered her head and drank tea without a sip. After a while, concubines and concubines came to greet her one after another.
"Concubine Zhao is here."
Everyone looked at Concubine Zhao wearing a wide-sleeved skirt and holding the hand of the maid, most of them bowed their heads to show respect, Concubine Xiangui put down the tea cup in her hand, and smiled and watched the other party sit down under Concubine Rou.
"Little Concubine Zhao looks good today," Concubine Xian Gui smiled, "Looking at this unborn His Royal Highness, she is a sensible person."
"Let's borrow the auspicious words of the imperial concubine," Zhuang Luoyan smiled and took the tea cup. Seeing that it was Gongzao honey tea, he smiled at the queen, and took it up to moisten the corners of his lips.
"The Queen Mother really cares about Concubine Zhao's sister, but this tea looks different from us," Concubine Xian Gui continued, "It's true, now my sister is pregnant, but it's different from us."
Zhuang Luoyan smiled and saw that the concubine Xiangui was making hatred for herself, put down the teacup and said lightly: "The empress's care is the luck of the concubine, and the concubine, the concubine, don't make fun of the concubine."
"If your concubine likes it, you can go back to the palace to bubble," Concubine Rou said with a sneer, "I don't have anything in the palace, so there's no need to envy Concubine Zhao."
Concubine Xiangui couldn't see Concubine Rou's appearance, and her tone became cold: "Concubine Rou is really obedient, and this palace just praises the empress's care and consideration for Concubine Zhao."
"The Queen's concubine cares about her concubines, and the harem knows it." Concubine Rou replied calmly.
"Concubine Shu is here, Su Xiuyi is here."
The arrival of the two sisters of the Su family prevented Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Rou from continuing to talk. The queen looked at the two sisters of the Su family saluting her with cold eyes, and after the two sat down, she said, "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, it's hard for everyone. I also came to pay my respects to this palace, especially Concubine Zhao should not have come so early, you are pregnant now, even if you don’t come, it will not be a problem.”
"Niangniang cherishes, how can concubines be so arrogant," Zhuang Luoyan stood up and saluted, "It's only two or three months now, where can you be so careful."
"Sit down quickly," the queen hurriedly asked her to sit down and sighed, "You are young now and don't know, this woman is pregnant with a child, and the first three months are absolutely sloppy." Thinking of Concubine Zhao's previous miscarriage , the queen is not afraid to say anything more for fear of causing her sadness, and instead said: "If it is cold today, this palace thinks about it, this winter, I will greet you every three days, and it will save you all the hard work of coming and going."
Everyone refused to accept the words, but in the end, because the Queen's attitude was firm, they had no choice but to accept this decree.
After leaving Jingyang Palace, Su Xiuyi snorted coldly, "Why do you feel sorry for us, I'm afraid it is that Concubine Zhao, why didn't you see her saying goodbye every three days, false mercy."
Regardless of Su Xiuyi's complaint, Concubine Shu Gui's expression was a little dignified. The Queen's love for Zhuang Luoyan was a bit terrifying this time, which was really not like the Queen's behavior. If Zhuang Luoyan gives birth to a prince, and the emperor intends to cultivate it, wouldn't it be that Concubine Zhao and the empress would compete in court
Unable to figure out the Queen's intentions, Concubine Shu frowned. No matter what, she should be more careful in the future. The Queen is reluctant to do it.
In the afternoon, Jingyang Palace was rewarded by the emperor, and many jade antiques were sent to Jingyang Palace like flowing water, which made many people envious.
But smart people know that this is the emperor's decision to agree with the empress in the morning, which shows the status of Concubine Zhao in the emperor's heart.
