When He Heng brought Qu Qingju to Tianqi Palace, all the concubines and concubines in the palace who had children were present. Qu Qingju even saw a few unfamiliar princesses and concubines present, but these people were obviously not taken seriously by Emperor Qingde. Silently stood aside.
The person sitting beside the dragon bed was none other than Concubine Jing. She saw her son and daughter-in-law came in, but she ignored them and insisted on feeding Emperor Qingde the medicine before saying, "Your Majesty, Heng'er and Heng'er's daughter-in-law are here. already."
Emperor Qingde's spirit has improved a lot since he woke up yesterday. He looked at his son and daughter-in-law who were saluting him, and waved, "Get up, don't be too polite." After speaking, he motioned for the eunuch to give him The two sat down on stools.
Qu Qing Ju found that Emperor Qing De's smile when looking at Concubine Jing was extraordinarily gentle, and his eyes towards He Heng were also kinder than before. Inexplicably, she felt a little cold on her back, but after being ill for a few days, Emperor Qing De looked at something wrong.
She glanced at the concubines and princesses who were still standing beside her, and when she saw that He Heng was really dragging the stool next to the bed, she sat next to He Heng and honestly watched Concubine Jing, who was gentle on behalf of Qingde. Emperor took the cushion and gently twisted the quilt for Emperor Qingde, as if Emperor Qingde was more important than his son in the eyes of Concubine Jing.
Her brows trembled slightly, and Qu Qing Ju felt that she seemed to be thinking of something she shouldn't think about, so she silently turned her eyes to He Heng, and saw He Heng looking at Emperor Qing De worriedly, she adjusted her expression accordingly, trying her best not to let him fall in their footsteps.
"My father's health is better. A few days ago, I heard that my father was unwell, and I was very worried. I waited in Tianqi Palace several times, but I didn't see you awake. Today, I see that your spirit is much better, my son finally Don't worry," He Heng's expression softened a little, and he glanced at Emperor Qingde's face up and down before he said, "My son is not filial, and the father is seriously ill and has not been able to serve in front of the imperial court."
"You are old now, and you have a lot of things to do up the ladder. How can you always guard me?" Emperor Qingde smiled and glanced at Concubine Jing, "Your mother and concubine have taken good care of me, and your filial piety is in my heart. clear."
Qu Qing Ju raised her eyelids and glanced at Concubine Jing, only to see a faint smile on the other side.
"Respecting your concubine these few days is really not easy," the queen, who had been silent for a while, spoke up at this time. She walked up to the bed, and He Heng and Qu Qingju both stood up and stepped aside. There was no reason for the queen to stand and they were still sitting. .
"Your Majesty, you have recovered. You must reward your concubine well. The concubine persuaded her to rest several times in the past two days, but she is reluctant to leave you," the queen said, and sighed helplessly to concubine Jing, "It's just a short time. In a few days, everyone has lost a lot of weight, not to mention the emperor, even if I look at it, I feel distressed."
Emperor Qingde nodded: "I understand her intentions."
The Queen smiled immediately, without any hint of jealousy on her face. From Qu Qingju's point of view, the Queen seemed very satisfied with the current situation, which made her wonder if the Queen was really with her mother-in-law.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu Gui and His Royal Highness Prince Rui are asking to see you," the eunuch chief came in. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was just right, he whispered, "His Royal Highness Prince Cheng and Concubine Cheng are also waiting outside the palace to be summoned."
Emperor Qingde didn't know what to think, and frowned slightly, "Let them all come in."
Seeing the arrival of the son of true love and doting, why did Emperor Qingde look like this, and why did Concubine Jing smile so softly, and the queen's smile was a little cold, something was wrong.
Concubine Shu Gui walked in front with her son and daughter-in-law, and He Ming and Luo Wenyao walked in the back. After the five people came in to greet me, Emperor Qingde did not give them a seat, but said to Concubine Shu Gui, "I heard that you were tired and sick while serving me. How are you now?"
Concubine Shu Gui walked to the bed with blushing eyes, and choked up: "The concubine is all right, the emperor, you just wake up, it's all useless for the body of the concubine, otherwise, you will be able to serve the emperor all the time."
"Concubine Jing has served me very well, and it's okay if you're not here," Emperor Qingde replied lightly, looking at his beloved son and He Ming and his wife, he coughed twice before saying, "I'm no longer a big man. You don't have to worry about it."
He Yuan remembered what his mother and concubine had said to him, and when he saw that the royal father was very close to the imperial concubine Jing, although he was a little dissatisfied, he had to smile on his face: "I am more relieved when I see the father and the emperor Da'an."
"Well," Emperor Qingde nodded, seeing that the room was full of people, so he let the other concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines retreat, leaving only a few of them before he said, "I am seriously ill this time, so you are worried. already."
Everyone said that as long as the emperor was fine, it was the best thing, and they also said that the emperor should take good care of his body and so on.
"Now that you are all grown up and married, I am very pleased," Emperor Qingde sighed, glanced at his three sons and the princess beside them, and coughed a few times, "I am getting old now, and facing the You have to pay more attention to the things in the middle, and it can be regarded as sharing your worries for me."
The three brothers of the He family responded immediately, and said that they would not hesitate to wait for their father to share his worries.
Concubine Shu Gui felt more and more uneasy. Why did the emperor say these words? Doesn't he value Yuan'er the most
"Okay, I'm tired, you all retire," Emperor Qingde thought for a while, "Concubine Jing will stay."
Concubine Shu's complexion changed slightly. Seeing that the emperor had closed his eyes to rest, she had no choice but to shut her mouth. Looking at the smile on Concubine Jing's face, she felt that the smile was mocking her.
After leaving Tianqi Palace, Concubine Shu's reluctant smile suddenly sank. She gave He Heng and Qu Qingju a cold look before leaving with He Yuan and Qin Bailu.
Qu Qing Ju turned her head to look at the smile on He Heng's face, stepped down the white marble steps and said, "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"
"Royal father's health is getting better, I'm naturally happy," He Heng glanced at her with a smile, "Do you think so?"
"Of course it's something to be happy about," Qu Qingju nodded with a smile, and turned to He Ming and Luo Wenyao who were walking behind, "The mansion hired a chef from Shu a few days ago, and the fourth uncle and the fourth siblings used it together at noon. Can you taste it?"
Luo Wenyao looked sideways at He Ming, and after seeing him nodding, he said, "It is a blessing for us to be able to taste the delicacies of the second uncle and second sister-in-law's house."
Qu Qing Ju smiled, "Eating a meal is a blessing, why do you talk to me like this."
Luo Wenyao smiled shyly, obviously embarrassed. When He Ming saw this, Zuo Yi said to Qu Qing Ju no.
Seeing him protecting Luo Wenyao like this, Qu Qing Ju smiled, "That's it, those who didn't know thought that my sister-in-law was bullying the two of you, so please forgive me."
He Hengxiao watched Qu Qingju get close to Luo Wenyao, took her hand and said, "I think you should walk well, or you won't look good if you fall."
"Not a child," Qu Qing Ju snorted, but obediently let He Heng lead him away.
Luo Wenyao followed behind the two of them, looking at the hands they were holding, a smile appeared on her face.
After Concubine Shu returned to the palace, she asked all the palace servants who were serving in the room to retreat. She looked at her son, who also looked unsightly, and said in a low voice, "Yuan'er, I suspect that the emperor wants to pass the throne to He Heng."
He Yuan frowned: "How could this be?"
Concubine Shu explained the matter in its entirety, and then said, "The emperor's heart has changed." It was really hard for her to accept that the emperor would choose Wei Shi and treat her slowly one day, but just now in the Tianqi Palace, the emperor treated Wei Wei's asshole. People are indeed closer than her.
But in just two days, how could it be like this? Could it be that the emperor was angry because he did not serve him, but he came back because he was not feeling well. Or is it that Weiss said something unfavorable to her in front of the emperor
"Are you sure that the father said that the second child is like the first emperor?" He Yuan pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be so, the father has always been too late for me to treat the second child, how could he suddenly change his opinion? Fake news?"
"I originally suspected it, but you have seen the emperor's attitude towards Weishi today," Concubine Shu said coldly, "The emperor's heart has indeed changed, we can't just grab it. Yuaner, I won't let what belongs to you. Taken away by others!"
He Yuanyu said angrily: "My father actually thinks Wei Shi's mother and son are better than us, is he blind?"
Qin Bailu, who was standing in the corner, heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but retreat to the corner. She secretly glanced at He Yuan, who had an ugly face, and almost couldn't remember who the King Rui she fell in love with two years ago was. What's it like.
"Yuan'er!" When Concubine Shu heard He Yuan's words, her expression suddenly changed, and she whispered, "Can you say this?"
"But the father and emperor clearly said that the only thing that the harem valued was me, and the most beloved prince was me, but what is the truth?" He Yuan became more and more angry, "Wei Shi was just sick, and his attitude changed greatly. Does he value the looks of our mother and son?"
"But he's the emperor," Concubine Shu Gui said, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "if he changes his mind, what can we do?"
"How can there be no way?" He Heng looked at Concubine Shu, and his face gradually calmed down, "Wei Shi can compete for favor, concubine, you have been in love with the royal father for so many years, will you still lose to her?"
Concubine Shu Gui thought about the indifferent look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at her, and nodded.
"As for He Heng," He Yuan sneered, "No matter who he looks like, the winner is the one who laughs at the end. I used to be more favored than him, and I won't lose to him in the future."
In Tianqi Palace, Concubine Jing looked at the emperor who had already slept, and slowly took her hand out of the emperor's hand. She looked at the old man on the bed calmly, and the corner of her mouth raised.
What are you missing for so many years
The emperor loves telling jokes more and more, but unfortunately, after so many years, such jokes are no longer funny.
