It is not known when Gao Mei arrived in Kyushu, the weather was already winter, the concubines and concubines in the harem had changed into various winter clothes, and the palaces also began to supply charcoal fire for heating. For women in the harem, it is more important for a small Gao Mei to come to worship, and no one has received the emperor's reward.
Peeling the oranges in his hands, Zhuang Luoyan sighed lazily, looked at the white snow that swelled outside the window, threw the oranges back into the fine porcelain plate, and took Mrs. Tang from Yunxi: "Today's snow is getting heavier and heavier. ." In the place where she lived in the previous life, it rarely snowed in winter, and even if it snowed, she could not see the world wrapped in silver.
"Master bored?" Yun Xi picked up the half-peeled orange, peeled it carefully, opened it on the plate, and said with a smile, "If the master is not afraid of the cold, you can go to the plum garden to enjoy the plums, and the servant heard that the emperor also likes to appreciate plums. of."
Zhuang Luoyan changed into a comfortable sitting position and said with a half-smiling smile, "It's better to enjoy the plum in a quiet place. The flowers in the plum garden are blooming just fine. The sisters in the other palaces must also like to go there, so I won't join in the fun."
Yun Xi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything after all. She has been with this master for a long time. Sometimes she feels that the master is infatuated with the emperor, and sometimes she feels that this feeling is hazy and difficult to see.
"Master, the province in the temple has sent us the silver and charcoal for the past few days, as well as seasonal fruits." Tingzhu entered the inner room, holding a plate of black grapes for tribute.
"It's not easy for these eunuchs to run back and forth to deliver things in the winter. Get some money and give them a cup of hot tea." Zhuang Luoyan knew in his heart that the black grapes were tribute from other countries, and it was extremely difficult to keep them fresh. It is rare for He Gong to get such a plate.
"Master, don't worry, the slaves have already paid." Tingzhu put down the plate and talked about some gossip he heard outside. Although it may not be true, the deep palace is boring, and it sounds good to pass the time.
"You said that concubine Yangui met the emperor in Meiyuan yesterday?" Zhuang Luoyan asked with interest.
"Go back to the master, the servant heard that yesterday the emperor stayed with the concubine Yangui, and the concubine Yangui received a lot of rewards this morning." Tingzhu carefully glanced at Zhuangluoyu, and saw that her face was as usual before continuing to talk about it. What rewards have the concubines received
Zhuang Luoyan sneered in his heart, as the man of the emperor, the women in the harem are just a thing in his eyes, I'm afraid that the means of women racking their brains to invite favor, for him, it's just watching the show.
"Master, the eunuch of the inner guard, the emperor turned over your brand today." Fu Bao came in with a happy face to report.
"I see." Zhuang Luoyan tried her best to show a shy and happy expression on her face, turned her head to look at the snowy scene outside the window, and concealed the calmness in her eyes.
"Empress Empress, the emperor flipped the sign of Zhao Chongyi today." He Yu mocked: "A bunch of masters who went to Meiyuan today will be disappointed."
"The women in the harem always do whatever they can to invite, but this Zhao Chongyi is quite capable, the emperor can still remember her after seeing so many beauties." The queen turned over the scroll in her hand, without raising her head, "Bengong In the past, I underestimated her."
"Then..." He Yu couldn't help but speak, but was interrupted by the Queen.
"Even if there are two means, it is not enough in this harem. The one from Anqing Palace is the emperor's favorite."
"But after Shi Lang Su impeached Shi Lang Zhuang, didn't the emperor have no reaction?" He Yu was a little puzzled.
"That's the emperor, the former harem is the same," the queen smiled bitterly and put down the scroll in her hand, "other than her, there is no woman in the palace who should be named a noble concubine. The reward for this time is even richer than this palace."
He Yu's throat choked, thinking about the favor of Concubine Shu Gui over the past few years, and had to admit what the Empress said.
"Look, even the most beautiful flowers will wither one day, and Ben Gong is always the queen of the palace, so I don't have to worry about them." The queen smiled again, but she didn't know whether she was relieved or helpless.
On a cold night, lying in a warm bed is more satisfying than usual. Zhuang Luoyan is lying on the emperor's chest, quietly listening to the rustling sound of the snow falling, the house is extraordinarily quiet.
Feng Jin stroked the hair of the woman in his arms. This was already his habit when he and Zhao Chongyi were together. The silence in the room also calmed his heart. As an emperor, there are many things to do every day. This quietness may be a beautiful thing.
"Can Concubine Ai understand Gao Mei?"
Zhuang Luoyan couldn't prevent the emperor from suddenly asking such a sentence. She didn't have much affection for Gao Mei. In the past life, a certain country was very similar to Gao Mei. In the end, history proved one thing. Wolf. After a little hesitation, she chose to speak: "My concubine doesn't know much about Gao Mei, only that it is our affiliated country, and the country is still very poor. The only thing worth mentioning is a certain medicinal material."
"This affiliated country came to visit, but it stumped a bunch of ministers. Some people think that it should be done as usual, and some people say that they should be treated according to the specifications of the previous dynasty." Feng Jin looked at the woman in his arms, "Concubine Ai felt that That's a polite statement."
In the candlelight, Feng Jin's eyes were very calm, Zhuang Luoyan looked up into his eyes, but couldn't find any emotion in his eyes. She spoke without hesitation, but several thoughts had already turned in her heart, "I feel that it is just a dependent country, and that is our servant. How can the master receive the servant solemnly."
"Concubine Ai is right. A servant who is not very useful still wants to make his master condescend." Feng Jin smiled, "That Gao Mei is really just our servant."
Zhuang Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the emperor emphasized the word "we", she was right. According to her observation, Feng Jin was an ambitious and ambitious emperor, but he didn't like the kind of big joy, so Gao Meimei used to pay homage and tribute to fight the autumn wind.
However, until the warm kiss fell on her forehead and the red wave ended, Zhuang Luoyan couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly told her about the previous dynasty. Could it be that the snow was too heavy and his brain was frozen.
This side Zhuang Luoyan is puzzled, while the other side Feng Jin is sighing for the person in his arms. If he asks the Empress Shu Guifei about this, the Queen and Shu Guifei will definitely say that both sides are reasonable, and then inquire about his mind. Besides, which method is more suitable, why would he say it so unceremoniously? Could it be true that he regarded the emperor as "my own person" without even the slightest intention to conceal it
The person in her arms was already fast asleep, Feng Jin swept away the fine hair on her forehead, and what caught her eye was Zhang Jing's sleeping face. She was really a fool. She only knew that he was her man, but she forgot that he was still an emperor.
When Zhuang Luoyan woke up the next day, the emperor had left as usual. She drank hot milk tea and asked, "Has the snow stopped?"
"Go back to my lord, I haven't gotten off yet, but it's bigger. I'll ask the empress to ask for more clothes." Yun Xi put on a fox fur for Zhuang Luoyan and praised: "My lord is really beautiful in this fox fur. , no wonder the emperor must reward the master."
Zhuang Luoyan smiled and said, "Where is my credit? This white fox fur is rare." No wonder the eunuch didn't bring Bizi soup today, presumably because of the heavy snowfall.
But until Zhuang Luoyan went out to greet the empress, there was still no one from the chamberlain, and Zhuang Luoyan was shocked. Is the emperor going to let her keep a child
Feng Jin turned over the book in his hand and suddenly thought of the woman in Xihe Palace. For this woman, he has something special in his heart. This time he avoided Bizitang, and he didn't know whether it was a favor or a harm. It is not easy for a woman in the harem to conceive a child, and it is even more difficult to give birth to a child. He avoided the Bizitang last night, which was a bit of his pity. As for whether Zhao Chongyi could have a child by his side, he could only see her life.
If Zhuang Luoyan knew the emperor's thoughts, he would definitely scold his mother in his heart, not to mention that having a child is not as easy as growing melons and beans, and that night is the safe period, so the possibility of being pregnant is even smaller.
No matter what the emperor thinks, Zhuang Luoyan still eats and drinks well. Even in the big winter, he has to get some fruit ice to seek stimulation, but Yun Xi listened to Zhu's invitation several times.
"That's all I love," Zhuang Luoyan ate a piece of ice pear, the cold feeling pierced her teeth, but it brought some indescribable comfort. Putting down the dishes, she took Mrs. Tang to warm her hands, but because she ate too much cold food recently, her menstrual period seemed to be delayed.
After thinking about it, it is better to ask someone to go to the Tai Hospital to call an imperial doctor who is good at treating women's diseases to ask for a pulse. I think that every few days there will be an imperial doctor to ask for a pulse, so there should be nothing wrong.
After waiting for half an hour, the doctor who came to ask An's was an elderly doctor. Zhuang Luoyan looked at him and felt that this person had some skills, so he was relieved to let this person take the pulse.
It didn't take long for Zhuang Luoyan to see the thin fingers trembling across the silk scarf, and saw the elderly imperial doctor kneeling down quickly, "Congratulations to Zhao Chongyi, congratulations to Zhao Chongyi, you are Huamai."
slippery veins? Zhuang Luoyan glanced suspiciously at the old doctor, and then at the excited expressions of the other palace attendants in the room. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. When the old man asked for the pulse, his hands trembled more than the pulse, was there really nothing wrong
Although the old doctor congratulated her clearly, Zhuang Luoyan's sixth sense did not have the joy of having a new life in his stomach. Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Zhuang Luoyan had someone reward the old doctor and had her help her into the inner room to rest.
"Zhao Chongyi is pregnant?" Feng Jin was a little surprised, and even raised his tone.
"Go back to the emperor, yes," Gao Dezhong carefully observed the emperor's expression, and could not tell whether he was happy or angry, "it was diagnosed by the old doctor Mao from the imperial hospital, and even Zhao Chongyi didn't even think of it when the servant heard it. It's been more than a month, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."
Is this God's will
Feng Jin had a smile on his face, "Since Zhao Chongyi has a dragon seed, he must give him a big reward." After speaking, he was rewarded with a lot of things to Xihe Palace, and he was preparing to send a few more imperial hospitals. When the holy hand went to Xihe Palace, he heard the Minister of Rites begging to see him.
"Xuan." Putting this aside in advance, Feng Jin summoned the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites was not for other reasons, but for the pilgrimage of Prince Gao Meimei. The envoy Gao Meimei had already arrived ahead of schedule. It was said that Prince Gao Meimei would arrive in the capital in three days. Don't dare to neglect, and report it when you receive the news.
"That's it, the Ministry of Rites should prepare for the reception." Feng Jin said indifferently, "It's just a small affiliated country, so the Ministry of Rites will surely handle this matter well."
The Minister of Rites was busy saying yes, and even the atmosphere did not dare to say anything.
Compared with the calmness of the previous dynasty, the harem was blown up by the news of Zhao Chongyi's pregnancy.
