When Spring Comes

Chapter 153: Fortunately, he was an outsider

Views:

It's really domineering, his mother opened the door for the domineering, the domineering has reached home!

Grinding his teeth, Hua Chun suppressed his anger and nodded: "I don't care."

Yu Wenjie paused, his gaze wandered over her face, then he stretched out his slender fingers and poked her bulging cheeks.

"You don't care?"

Slapping his hand away with one paw, Hua Chun struggled to jump down from his arms, and then tidied up the folders on the table: "Boss, let's pay the bill first, it's still two hundred taels today."

"You're so vulgar." Wrinkling his nose, Yu Wenjie handed her two silver bills of one hundred taels.

What's so bad about being tacky? After receiving the silver ticket, Hua Chun saluted and left. Money is real, and you can buy something to vent when you are angry. She can't force anything else, so it's better to fall into the eyes of money and not come out.

"Hua Chun." When she was about to walk out the door, Yu Wenjie still called out.

After a pause, she turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly.

The emperor pursed his lips, and after deliberating for a while, he said something meaningful: "In this palace, you can't get angry if you want to be angry. For some things, it's better to wait for the outcome before getting angry."

Hua Chun frowned, and sneered: "You mean to ask the concubine to wait until the child is full moon before getting angry? That's a big enough heart."

Shut up and stopped talking, Yu Wenjie sat on the main seat and watched her walk away.

"Master?" Qing Ling waited for her outside, seeing her coming out, quickly followed her with small steps: "Is it true or not that Concubine Huo is pregnant?"

"Really." Hua Chun said angrily: "Eunuch Qin has already reported to the emperor, which means that the imperial doctor has already confirmed the diagnosis."

Qingyou frowned: "It stands to reason that Concubine Huo has been in the palace for a while, and it's not a strange thing to be pregnant now, it's just... the palace should be lively now."

"Never mind him." Hua Chun was so bored, he took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into Qing Niao's hand: "You go find a way to buy food, let's shut up in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and have a good time!"

"This..." Glancing at her, Qing Niao whispered, "It's easy to gain weight."

"Isn't eating just to gain weight?" Hua Chun glared, "Otherwise it would be for nothing!"

Seemingly unable to refute, Qing Ling remained silent, then nodded.

The news of Concubine Huo's pregnancy quickly alarmed the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Ning valued her children the most, so she drove to Yongfu Hall in person immediately, and after having the old imperial doctor diagnose her again, she happily named her a noble concubine. Then ask her to move back to the Wanbao Palace.

"Thank you Queen Mother." Under the jealous eyes of the whole room, Huo Xianrou smiled until her face flushed, and she covered her stomach with her hands, as if protecting a baby.

"The Ai family is happy today, all the palaces will add more dishes, and go to the Furong Palace to listen to the opera at night!" The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Everyone is happy."

"Yes." Everyone responded with forced smiles, Concubine Shu was also at the side, bowing her head.

Huo Xianrou was not stupid, she knew that her pregnancy was a target of public criticism, so she firmly grasped the queen mother, and based on the queen mother's love for the royal heirs, she had to treat her well and protect her.

The backer was right. The queen mother not only gave her a position and a palace, but also added two powerful maids to protect her, and no one could get close to her.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation naturally also received a post about going to the theater at night, Hua Chun burped and muttered, "I don't want to go."

"Master." Qing Ling persuaded her: "This is the empress dowager's face, so I have to give it to you. Besides... probably many people are waiting to see your reaction. If you act stingy, I am afraid that you will offend the empress dowager."

That's right, she is a "former favorite concubine" after all, and now that someone else is pregnant, she has to be magnanimous to congratulate her, so as to avoid the suspicion of harming the prince.

Sighing, Hua Chun got up resignedly, touched her bulging belly, changed into a palace attire, and began to ask Rui'er to wear a complicated palace bun.

Although it was just a stage prepared by the queen mother casually, many people in the harem wanted to attend, even the emperor, and the pressure instantly rose. All the concubines who fell out of favor competed for beauty and tried their best to appear in front of the emperor. Naturally, it took a lot of effort to dress up thought.

In the evening, Hua Chun felt that Ruier's high flying bun was exaggerated, but he didn't expect to walk on the palace road, surrounded by hairstyles that were even more exaggerated than hers. Everyone wore silver jewelry all over their heads, and the strangest thing was that someone put a chrysanthemum on the top of their heads. Looking at it from a distance, the picture was extraordinarily beautiful.

Hua Chun grasped Qing Niao's hand with complicated emotions: "I'm a little nervous."

Qing Ling looked at her puzzled: "Why are you nervous? You will be seated according to your seat later, you won't even be next to the emperor and queen mother."

"No." Hua Chun looked at the hair buns of the first few empresses with painful eyes: "I'm afraid that their things are not tied tightly, and they will fall and hit me later."

Slightly taken aback, Qing Ling took a look and had to admit that such a high bun would indeed hit the people next to her if she fell down, but...

"Don't worry, this thing on your head can also be used as a hard hat."

Why? Makes sense, Hua Chun nodded, felt a sense of security instantly, touched his head, and then continued to follow the crowd to Furong Palace.

The protagonist tonight is naturally Huo Guipin, who is wearing a very eye-catching yellow and green palace attire, and she is also wearing jade jewelry that the Queen Mother just rewarded, which is said to be good for the fetus. The lights are still on.

Hua Chun sat down far away, looking at the faces all around, and when someone greeted her politely, she nodded. Both the emperor and the queen mother had arrived and were sitting and talking together. The queen mother gave Huo Bin a smile after saying a few words, and the emperor nodded accordingly. The atmosphere was very good.

"Did your empress also feel the feeling of being neglected?" A person next to her turned to look at her and said, "If you are still favored, you must also sit next to the emperor."

She didn't know the person who was speaking, and she didn't bother to know him, so she nodded as if coping.

As a result, this person may be a chatterbox, so he continued on in a babble: "Whoever the emperor favors is the happiest person in the world. But the neglect after this happiness is not something everyone can afford. There are so many lunatics in the cold palace." , Many of them were forced by the emperor."

Why? Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, and finally took a look at her: "So miserable?"

"I don't dare to say this, but it's okay to tell you." The woman said in a low voice, "The higher you climb, the more painful you will be when you fall. Although I haven't experienced it, but bystanders can clearly see that after so many years, the harem also suffers from pain." It’s not without reason that no one can get to the back position.”

Are you saying this... Are you blaming the emperor for being ruthless? Hua Chun shrugged, Yu Wenjie was originally such a person, and she almost saw through it shortly after entering the palace, where did the sincerity come from, but, being pampered by him is indeed very happy, no wonder so many people want Snatched and snatched.

The good show started, and Huo Guipin was sitting beside the emperor, reaching out to hold the snacks on the low table, talking to the emperor in a low voice while eating.

"Ma'am!"

Halfway through the play, when the tea was being replaced, a court lady screamed.

Hua Chun was dozing off, suddenly woke up by fright, looked up in a daze, and saw a group of people surrounded Huo Guipin's position, and then heard the queen mother shouting angrily: "Bold!"

"What happened?" Hua Chun asked curiously as he tugged on the sleeve of the person next to him.

"I'll go and have a look." The person next to him rushed into the crowd like flying.

Hua Chun saw everyone get up and prepare to leave, the emperor supported Concubine Huo with both hands, looking very precious, he didn't let go all the way.

"Guess who got hurt today?" The woman watching the fun came back like flying, staring at her with big eyes, and asked gloatingly.

suffer? Hua Chun was at a loss: "Why did you suffer?"

"Huo Guipin is pregnant, and she is very particular about what she eats. Just now, a court lady brought me a stack of melon seed cakes. Fortunately, she was stopped by the maid beside Huo Guipin. Huo Guipin is allergic to melon seeds. It would be terrible to eat them." .”

That's it, Hua Chun nodded: "It's just an accident, why would someone suffer?"

"The maid who sent melon seed cakes is from Concubine Xi's palace." She said this, and then looked at Hua Chun with a deep expression, trying to get some sympathy, and then gloated together.

However, Hua Chun was still a little dazed, unable to catch her excitement, stood up with an "oh" and left with Qing Ling.

"I didn't see the specific situation from far away, and I missed a good show." Qing Ling sighed: "Now Huo Guifei is very expensive, and no one can touch it. Look at the face of the Queen Mother just now. Concubine Xi is afraid. It's about to be punished."

Hua Chun thought for a while, and felt very strange: "Isn't Concubine Xi in the same boat as Huo Guipin? Why did you suddenly think that the fish is dead and the net is broken?"

"Who knows." Qing Niao said: "There are no permanent friends in the harem, only permanent interests."

Shrugging his shoulders, Hua Chun was suddenly a little thankful that he was just a bystander. Judging by the momentum, this group of women will not stop.

After Huo Guipin returned to the palace, she began to say that she was not feeling well. The queen mother was so frightened that she asked the imperial doctor to boil medicine, and punished Concubine Xi to face the wall for a month, and all the monthly money was deducted to comfort her.

"Concubine Xi didn't do it on purpose, right?" Hua Xunyue frowned and said, "I just saw something delicious and wanted to share it with Huo Guipin."

"There is no need to say more." The Queen Mother said: "According to the orders of Ai's family."

In the past, she just failed to protect her grandson who was still in her womb, so she was killed by someone. Now the empress dowager can't wait to give Huo Guipin all the protection. Only in this way can her grandson be safe.

Huo Xianrou originally wanted to speak for Concubine Xi, but after thinking about it, she didn't know if the melon seed cake meant for Concubine Xi. The alliance between women and women is too fragile. Since the Queen Mother is so protective of her, then she Just take care of the baby with peace of mind, and don't worry about the rest.

Hua Xunyue withdrew and sent someone to Concubine Xi's Palace to report the situation.

Concubine Xi was so angry that her eyes were red: "That maid was not sent by my palace."

"It's useless for you to say these things now." Concubine Xu frowned and said, "The Empress Dowager will not listen, and the Empress Dowager will definitely not let anyone hinder Huo Guifei."

"Huo Xianrou knew that I was wronged, and didn't help me?" Concubine Xi was slightly annoyed.

Concubine Xu sneered: "Haven't you seen who she is? If you make it clear who is good, stick with whoever is good. Now that you have reached the sky in one step, why do you still miss your old love, Madam?"

"White-eyed wolf!" Concubine Xi slapped the table violently, "If she wants to do this, then she will never get any more help from Ben Gong!"

"Calm down." Concubine Xu sighed.

Whoever has goods in this palace is the boss, no matter how much you hate him, now no one can do anything against Concubine Huo Gui.

The emperor spent the night with Concubine Huo again at night. Hua Chun was lying on the bed, looking at the shadow of the tree cast by the moonlight on the window, and was in a daze. The shadow of the tree was disrupted with a "snap", and someone turned over from the window again. Come in, panting and collapse beside her.

No wonder, Hua Chun didn't even have the strength to ask him why he did this, so he moved his body to give him an empty seat, then turned over and continued to sleep in the bed.

Yu Wenjie was out of breath from running all the way, and after calming down for a while, he reached out and hugged her from behind.

Feeling warm behind his back, Hua Chun inexplicably felt that his nose was a little sore, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

This man probably wanted to win her over, and wanted her to keep doing things for him, so every time he slapped him, he gave a sweet date to comfort her and dispel her thoughts of leaving.

However, what is the meaning of this deliberate appeasement

After moving his body, Hua Chun hugged the quilt, covered his face and fell asleep.

The person behind twisted the corners of the quilt for her, held her in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully without saying a word.

The next day, Hua Chun went to Zichen Hall to change his son as usual, and the emperor also went to accompany Concubine Huo as usual.

"Flower Concubine Empress."

He Changan looked at her worriedly: "How are you doing recently?"

Slightly taken aback, Hua Chun quickly raised his head and smiled at him: "It's okay."

With gloomy eyes, He Chang'an said: "I heard that Huo Guipin is pregnant."

"Yeah." Hua Chun nodded, and continued to look at the notebook in his hand: "It's a good thing."

Walking to the chair next to him and sitting down, He Changan sighed: "There has been no news of any heirs in the palace for a long time, so that's good, many people in the previous dynasty will feel at ease, the Huo family is not a big family, and there is no big threat .”

"Um."

"By the way, Mrs. Wan asked Weichen to bring this to the empress." He reached out and took out a pack of dried fish, He Changan looked at her tenderly: "She is very worried about you, but I said, you will have a good life .”

Eyes brightened slightly, Hua Chun took the paper bag in his hand and opened it, and the familiar spicy aroma wafted out instantly.

"Hey, that's the taste!" Feeling better, Hua Chun immediately stuffed one into his mouth, squinting his eyes and said, "She still loves me the most."

He didn't even need chopsticks, so He Chang'an just watched her use two fingers to eat most of the stuffed belly, and finally licked her fingers to wrap up the rest: "I'll save it and eat slowly."

"If you act like this, it will make me feel that the emperor abused you in the palace." He Changan pursed his lips and said, "How long has it been since you ate meat?"

Hua Chun curled her lips: "There is some meat, but not so much, and it's not as good as mother's craftsmanship."

"When you are free to go out of the palace again, Second Brother treats you to something delicious." Looking at her distressedly, He Chang'an said: "Now let's feel wronged."

"Thank you second brother!" Smiling at him, Hua Chun picked up the booklet and began to discuss important matters with him: "The emperor is a bit busy, I can't make up my mind on these matters by myself, second brother can help."
