It seems to be saying inside and outside the words, we have finally made it out, come and enjoy it.

However, the two of them were talking, and somehow they turned around to Qu Qing Ju, the Queen Mother looked at Qu Qing Ju's waist that no matter how much she ate, and said, "Today is the Queen's birthday, so it's not good for the imperial physician to come and invite him. Pulse, but you can let the imperial doctor see it tomorrow, after all, if you eat too much, I don't know if it will hurt the spleen and stomach." She said this extremely euphemistically, but she was suspicious of another thing.

What kind of person was the Empress Dowager Wei? As soon as the Empress Dowager mother said this, she knew what the other party meant. She secretly lowered her head and calculated that when the late emperor died, it was the end of April, and the filial piety was born at the end of July. After the filial piety, Qu Qing Ju still lived in the apse of Tianqi Palace, and Heng'er had never been to other women in the harem. It was now the end of September, and two months had passed.

The two empress dowagers are from the past, and they know that this kind of speculation cannot be said at will, otherwise, if there is hope and disappointment, it will hurt people. The two exchanged glances, and Empress Wei said, "Since my sister said that, I'm a little worried. Why don't I ask the imperial doctor to take a pulse tomorrow."

Qu Qing Ju was a little helpless. Since she entered the palace, even if her body was fine, the imperial physician would come to ask for a pulse every two weeks, and prescribe some nourishing recipes to make soup. She didn't like drinking these things the most. .

He Heng's brows moved slightly, and then he said with a smile: "The two mothers and queens are worried, and the head of the son Xuantai Hospital will come tomorrow to give the queen a pulse."

Qu Qing Ju put down the teacup and said, "The weather has turned cold recently, so I couldn't help eating more. There must be no problem, but the two mothers are so tired that they worry about it."

Empress Dowager Wei smiled and sighed: "As long as you are well, our mothers will be relieved."

Qu Qingju's heart moved slightly, she was not a fool, so she could hear that Empress Wei's words were at least 80 percent sincere. As a mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Wei has actually done a good job. Not to mention the background of the current era, where she lived in her previous life, it is rare for Empress Dowager Wei to be such a considerate mother-in-law.

Thinking of how I got along with Empress Dowager Wei, from the beginning of testing each other to the last close, Empress Dowager Wei has done her best to her daughter-in-law. Even when He Heng issued such an imperial edict in front of the world, and did not go to the harem after filial piety, Empress Wei never had any dissatisfaction with her because of these, but instead treated her better and better.

"The mother-in-law's words make the daughter-in-law feel ashamed. For our younger generation, as long as you are healthy and everything goes well, it is our happiness." Qu Qingju said with a smile, "It is a blessing for the daughter-in-law to have the mother-in-law care so much about her daughter-in-law. ."

Empress Dowager Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said in a soft tone: "What a foolish child. Now that she is a queen, it makes Aijia worry."

Concubine Xian, who was sitting on the side, listened to Empress Dowager Wei's words, and sighed in her heart that when the Empress first entered the palace, the Empress Dowager was not very satisfied with the Empress, and now she is no different from her own.

He Heng was smiling from beginning to end, until he returned to Tianqi Palace from Fushou Palace, and the smile on his face never faded.

His good mood lasted until the morning of the next day, but when he heard a minister suggested that he appoint a few women as concubines in the harem, his brows frowned.

Some courtiers don't think about government affairs all day long, and they don't see much to do. Instead, they focus on the affairs of his harem. What is the use of such a courtier

"Your Majesty, now that the period of filial piety has passed, and your harem is empty, Wei Chen thought that you should choose a daughter as a concubine to expand the harem." An official of the Ministry of Rites said, "This is an important matter for the extension of the children. Please make a decision for the emperor."

This sounded like persuading He Heng to accept the concubine, but he was actually saying that the queen had no children and wanted him to accept other women to have children.

How could an emperor with such temperament like He Heng listen to such a thing? If this person had the courage to speak for the people of the world, he would still think that this person could be used, but this person just made irresponsible remarks for the harem women. He looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites with a cold face: "Do you mean to accuse my queen of having no children, or to imply that I let other concubines give birth to the eldest son of the emperor?"

This official of the Ministry of Rites almost bit his tongue. He was clearly trying to comfort the emperor and accept his concubine. He knelt down with a great sense of badness: "Weichen didn't mean this, I beg the emperor's forgiveness."

The succession of the direct son of the middle palace is orthodox, unless the queen is really unable to give birth to a child. How dare he suggest that the emperor let other concubines give birth to the eldest son, isn't that a mess

"The queen has been married to me for less than a year. Before that, the emperor kept filial piety. After that, she burned incense and prayed for the emperor every day, and never stopped. After such a virtuous and virtuous person, it is really hateful to be smeared by you so much," He Heng said solemnly, "As a minister , you should be devoted to the people instead of focusing on the affairs of my harem. Is it possible that you also love others to point fingers at your own backyard? Or do some people think that they can arrange everything for me and make decisions for me? "

As soon as these words came out, all the officials of the Manchu dynasty knelt down and pleaded guilty. Who in the world dares to make decisions for the emperor, isn't that a big crime of treason

He Heng snorted coldly and looked at the people kneeling, "The late emperor just passed away, although I have been filial piety in the age of the moon, but every time I think of the emperor's voice and appearance, I still feel unbearable grief, why do you think about other women? Those who study will naturally understand what is filial piety, respecting elders is filial piety, and being responsible to elders, wives and daughters is righteousness. If you can’t even do filial piety, how can you be a human being?”

"Emperor Shengming!" He Ming shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are ashamed!" Luo Changqing and Wei Wenguang shouted in unison.

Others also followed and shouted the emperor's sage, who dared to refute this sentence, wouldn't that be the unfilial and unrighteous person

As for the official of the Ministry of Rites who proposed to let He Heng take the concubine, his face was pale and shivering. And the ministers next to him quietly took a step back and moved further away from him.

He Yuan looked at He Heng on the dragon throne coldly, the empress really was more affectionate than Jin Jian... not pleasing to the eye.

☆, 95 · pregnant

The emperor was angry at the court, and the officials below were all trembling, but some people were very envious of the Tian family. Having such a niece was really a blessing in a previous life.

Because of the Jiangnan case, He Yuan went to court, but he didn't have much power in his hands. He heard the officials around him whispering about the feelings of the emperor and empress. He sneered with disdain. How many emperors of the sea can be like Emperor Huiming of the previous dynasty

Before the He family won the country, the Tong family ruled the world, and Emperor Huiming was a rare monarch of the previous dynasty, and this person was famous for later generations, that is, there was only one queen in his harem, and there was nothing else. woman.

Many people in later generations wrote the love story of Emperor Huiming and Empress Showa. These stories are either hilarious or tragic, but all of them praised Emperor Huiming's infatuation and wisdom, and praised Empress Showa's virtuousness and wisdom.

Everyone in the world has a problem. The more rare things are, the more they love to sing praises. Isn't it because the emperor's sincerity and single-mindedness are rare that there are so many people writing books and biography between Emperor Huiming and Empress Showa

Thinking of this, the smile on He Yuan's face became even greater. How many Emperor Huiming could there be in the world

He Heng went down to the apse of Tianqi Palace, his originally condensed face gradually became gentle along the way, and when he reached the door of the apse, it was no different from usual. The eunuch guarding the door saw him and was busy entering the house to report, but he stopped him.

"Minghe, go and spread my will, and the head of Xuantai Hospital will ask the Empress for pulse," he said before stepping into the door.

Qu Qingju feels that since she has traveled to this era, her hobbies have become more and more elegant. She has done all these things, such as reading and writing, arranging flowers and pruning branches, reciting poetry and painting, but unfortunately these hobbies did not last long.

Looking at the bonsai that was trimmed into a mushroom shape by herself, she sighed, "This bonsai is nothing to play with."

Mujin knew that the empress was bored. After all, in the harem, apart from the concubines who ordered the wives to greet them, it was the people from the palace province who came to inquire about the affairs of the palace. It was really meaningless to stay for a long time.

"Empress Empress, seeing that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming just fine, the servants might as well call some women to come to the palace to accompany you to enjoy the flowers, which can be considered to pass the time." Mu Jin said, "This will also bring you closer to them."

Qu Qingju sighed, no wonder when she looked at ancient historical materials in her previous life, there were always pictures of ladies riding horses, pictures of ladies making fun of cats, and even pictures of gardening and football. It turned out that the leisurely life was too monotonous, and a group of Bai Fumei were looking for something to do to pass the time.

However, the relationship between the empress and the wives in the court is also very important. The emperor is the boss of men in the world, and the empress is the eldest sister of women in the world. This is really not very similar if there is no contact.

"Okay, this palace understands, three days later, I will call the wives of the third rank and above to enter the palace to participate in the chrysanthemum viewing banquet," Qu Qing Ju thought for a while, "If there is a daughter in the family who has not left the cabinet, you can also bring it with you. "

"Yes, maid, let the female officer go to declare the will." Mu Jin was full of plans for Qu Qingju, but she did everything that was beneficial to Qu Qingju, without leaving the slightest flaw.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the emperor walking in. She quickly stepped back and knelt down and said, "This servant has seen the emperor."

When Qu Qing Ju heard Mu Jin's greeting, she looked up and saw He Heng walking over, still wearing the golden dragon robe she wore in the court, so she stood up to meet him: "Your Majesty, why are you here now?"

"I just remembered that I was going to take a pulse from Imperial Physician Xuan today, so I'll come and take a look." He Heng took her hand and sat down on the soft couch beside him. He smiled when he saw the potted plants on the table that were trimmed to the nearest point. Said, "I just heard what kind of banquet you are going to have outside, is it because the harem is boring?"

Qu Qing Ju smiled: "It's a bit more boring than when I was in the palace, but it will be fine."

"Maybe not this year, I'll take you out for a walk next year," He Heng stroked her temples and sighed, "If you're bored, you can also invite Mrs. Tian to come in and talk to you, don't be bored alone. "

"Okay," Qu Qing Ju felt that the other party regarded her as a lonely little white flower, she smiled helplessly: "The emperor doesn't need to worry so much, I'm the queen, if I'm bored, the people below will naturally try their best to make me happy. of."

Knowing that what she said was reasonable, He Heng suddenly showed a wry smile. Now that he treats her, he really can't let go of his heart. This is probably the feeling of caring for one person.

After a while, Ming He came in to report that the head of the Tai Hospital had arrived.

Qu Qing Ju saw an old man in sixties who was about sixty years old wearing the official robe of the Taiyuan Hospital, with some fine sweat on his forehead. He must have arrived in a hurry, otherwise it was already autumn, where would he be sweating

"We Chen Du Baishu has seen the emperor and the queen's concubine."

Hearing the name came from a medical family, Qu Qing Ju silently looked at the imperial doctor, her face was ruddy, and although her hair was gray, she was in good spirits, so she must have paid great attention to the way of self-cultivation.

"Doctor Du doesn't need to be too polite. You've been in the hospital for many years, and your medical skills must be very good. The Queen's spleen and stomach have been widened in recent days. Come and check the Queen's pulse to see if there is any discomfort." He Heng glanced and knelt down. Du Baishu, who was wearing it, motioned for him to step forward and give Qu Qingju a pulse.

Du Baishu was stunned when he heard the spleen and stomach opening, and then thanked the emperor for his kindness and bowed to Qu Qingju. A silk scarf was placed on Qu Qingju's wrist, and Qu Qingju felt her pulse.

A quarter of an hour later, Du Baishu changed hands again, and then Qu Qing Ju saw his complexion change and then showed a look of joy.

Du Baishu took back the silk scarf on Qu Qingju's wrist, and knelt down in front of He Heng with a happy face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Hexi Your Majesty, the Empress is a sign of slippery veins, this is a great joy."

Qu Qing Ju's brows twitched, Huamai... Did she mean she was pregnant

"Really?" He Heng, who has always been unhappy, asked in surprise, "How many months have you been diagnosed?"

"Because the Queen's maiden's pulse is not obvious, it's less than a month after I think about it. If it wasn't for Wei Chen who has practiced medicine for many years, I'm afraid that the pulse will not be diagnosed." Du Baizhu's face was full of joy, as if the Queen had a child, and he was happier than anyone else, but this Sometimes, don't forget to brag.

"Okay, okay," He Heng was already smiling, and he waved his hand, "Reward, reward."

"Wei Chen, thank the emperor, and thank the empress." Du Baishu secretly said that he was lucky. Although the empress's pulse was not obvious, it was already pregnant. This time, he could be regarded as a big face in front of the emperor and empress.

If this matter was put on the previous emperor, he would have been trembling with fear, but now that the queen is in charge of the harem, and the queen only favors the queen, he has no worries at all, which is really a great thing.

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to call others, just serve the Queen," He Heng thought for a while, barely suppressing the joy in his heart, "In the Tai Hospital, you can choose two people you trust. Your assistant, I will send the pregnant mother to pay more attention to the queen's food, accommodation and transportation. If there is any taboo that cannot be used, you must tell the pregnant mother who is serving. I want you to ensure that the queen and the child in the womb are safe."

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment," Du Baishu kowtowed, begging for wealth at risk. As long as he serves the queen well this time, his position in the Imperial Hospital will be unshakable in the future!

After Imperial Doctor Du retired, Qu Qing Ju looked at He Heng in disbelief: "I'm pregnant?"

The palace maids and eunuchs in the room also knelt down to congratulate them with happy faces. For them, it is also a good thing for them that the queen has a child. Only if the master is good can the people below them be good.

"Yes, you have our child in your belly," He Heng's smile never disappeared. His hand carefully touched Qu Qingju's belly, as if he was afraid of hurting the child, he quickly retracted it. Hand, "Tomorrow I will choose a trustworthy pregnant mama to come and serve you. You don't have to worry about other things. I will be there for everything."

"Then the affairs in the harem might as well be managed by the two queen mothers," Qu Qingju was not so obsessed with the rights of the harem, what's more, with He Heng's intentions, she was the number one person in the harem. Well, even if she seizes the harem power, it is useless.

"Yes, I have to tell the two mothers about this," He Heng thought for a while, "You have a good rest, I will go back when I go, and I will accompany you for lunch."

Qu Qing Ju stared at He Heng in a stunned manner as she hurried out of the house, the steps seemed to be floating, she shook her head helplessly, and then showed a faint smile.

Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Dowager Mother were chatting together, and they were a little surprised to see the emperor hurried in, but seeing his face full of smiles, the two immediately laughed like mirrors.

"The two mothers, just now the imperial doctor asked for the pulse and found out that the queen is pregnant," He Heng was happy for a while, and gave the two of them a hastily salute, "The son is here to announce the good news."

It has been a long time since Empress Dowager Wei saw her son so oblivious, she even felt that his son's eyes became much brighter, her heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "In this case, you should accompany Qing Ju, we Here, let the people below report the news."

"My son was so happy that he forgot his appearance." He Heng then restrained himself, but from the strands of his hair to the soles of his feet, there were four big characters of beaming, "My son is here today, and I have one more thing to ask for."

"Ai's family thought that you were for the management of the harem," the queen mother said with a smile. "Ai's family has been in charge of the harem for decades, but she doesn't want to suffer this crime again. Since you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, go to your mother's queen. Aijia is reluctant to intervene."

After hearing the words, Empress Dowager Wei said: "Sister is embarrassing me, how can I manage this. It's better for my sister to manage the harem affairs for the time being, but I have to ask my elder sister for more help on weekdays. After our daughter-in-law gives birth, let her take care of it by herself. Go. We two mothers, although we want to be lazy, we always have to hurt the younger generation. "

"That's good," said the mother queen with a smile. "When our eldest grandson comes out, let's just go get the grandson with a grain of salt."

He Heng naturally thanked him again and again after listening to it. As for the words of the two empress dowagers, he said that only after the queen gave birth, he also understood their intentions.

After leaving the Fushou Palace, He Heng asked the province in the palace to present a lot of good things to the two empress dowagers in order to thank the two empress dowagers for their kindness.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at the good things that He Heng had sent, and smiled helplessly. As a mother, how could she be willing to embarrass her children. The peace of the harem is also a very important thing for the emperor.
