Her eyes are cold, but the corners of her mouth are raised, and even from a distance, one can feel obvious hostility.
Is this a grudge? Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, it's only a matter of time before someone with a fundamental conflict of interest becomes an enemy. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it.
After the fox fur cloak was made, Hua Chun immediately put it on to greet the Queen Mother. Naturally, Concubine Wu Gui also went, but she was still wrapped in an old cloak without a single hair, and coughed twice as soon as she entered the main hall.
"It's such a cold day, why don't you wear more?" The queen mother frowned at her, and took her hand distressedly, and squeezed it: "It's cold."
Concubine Wu Gui smiled and said in a low voice: "The new cloak is not finished yet, the old one seems to be a bit damp, and I didn't pay attention."
The queen mother frowned, and glanced at the cloak on Hua Chun: "How come it hasn't been finished yet?"
Concubine Wu Gui said in a low voice: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Naturally, concubines don't dare to do it ahead of the concubine. They can only wait for the concubine to do the work before letting people start working as concubines, so..."
This is clearly aimed at growing white fox fur, but it's really petty, the cloak can be made at the same time, anyway, there are enough people in the service palace, she just wants to do it later, and wrap it in a torn cloak to win sympathy, It's true... Hua Chun shook her head, the Queen Mother would naturally be able to see through such tricks, she wouldn't be soft-hearted, right
"Let the people in charge of the palace come out today." The Empress Dowager said: "My lady is frozen, and there is no good fruit for them!"
Huachun: "..."
Well, after all, there is the empress dowager's heart in her belly, so she should be soft-hearted.
Concubine Wu Gui smiled, and sat down softly beside her, her eyes fell on Hua Chun's stomach across from her, and she said softly: "Your Majesty's belly has grown, but you should be more careful."
"I know." Hua Chun nodded: "As long as others don't have any bad thoughts about it, then I will be able to give birth to a royal heir safely."
Her stomach is actually quite strong. The stomachs in other TV dramas always miscarry when she falls. The last time she fell, nothing happened. She ate the wrong food and had diarrhea and didn’t disturb the baby. When I went to Zichen Hall, I didn't even move my fetal gas.
As long as no one intentionally kicked her stomach or poisoned her, Hua Chun felt that this "strong belly" should be fine.
The Queen Mother also turned to look at her with a complicated expression. Since the bloodline has not yet been determined, she dare not be too happy, lest she will be sad later. But looking at Concubine De's bulging belly, she might be a fat boy.
"Empress Dowager!" A eunuch came in from outside, holding a volume of letters in his hand: "A letter from the emperor, the victory against the Japanese pirates ahead."
Hua Chun was taken aback, then stood up subconsciously, staring at the letter until the queen mother took it, and couldn't help but want to follow it.
Concubine Wu Gui didn't move, just watched curiously.
The queen mother laughed when she heard the good news, took the letter and opened it, but the smile gradually faded.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Hua Chun wanted to see but was afraid of offending the queen mother, so he could only hold his belly and jump around beside him.
"Prince Xi's reinforcements were trapped on the mountain road, and the emperor personally marched and was slightly injured. Since there are Japanese pirates in the hills and mountains, we will send 50,000 troops to support them."
Hua Chun was startled: "Is the injury serious?"
Concubine Wu Gui also spoke, but what she asked was: "Isn't the battle already won, why do you need support?"
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes, looked at Hua Chun, then glanced at Concubine Wu Gui, lowered her eyes and said: "The emperor didn't elaborate on the injury, but the Japanese pirates came from nowhere, there were a large number of them, and they went straight to the emperor. Aijia thinks that Huo Zichong should lead the army and bring the emperor back."
Hua Chun nodded: "The Empress Dowager is wise, the Japanese pirates will not gain anything in Daliang's territory, and they will not be able to attack the city. They only want to murder the emperor. The emperor should return to Beijing, and the rest of the people will continue to fight and wipe out the Japanese pirates. But regarding support, my concubine feels that Yanjing is far away from the hills and hills, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. On the contrary, Prince Xi's fiefdom is nearby, and the trapped mountain road can be diverted. As long as the prince is sincere in rescue, it is better than Yanjing sending troops closer."
"That's the truth." The Empress Dowager nodded, with a slightly melancholy expression: "But Xi'er..."
"Prince Xi must stand up at this time." Hua Chun said: "Otherwise, Japanese pirates will appear next to his fief, and many people in the court will doubt the prince. In order to clear the prince of the crime, the queen mother can issue an order Ask Prince Xi to send 50,000 troops, in this way, not only can he get the credit for saving him, but also he can get rid of the Japanese pirates, what do you think?"
Concubine Wu Gui was dumbfounded, she never expected that Concubine De would be so talkative, seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to nod her head, she hurriedly said: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
The queen mother looked up at her: "What's wrong?"
"My concubine thinks...there seems to be a lot of misunderstandings between the prince and His Majesty, and I'm afraid the rescue may not be done wholeheartedly. Wouldn't this put the sage in danger?"
Hua Chun sneered: "Concubine Wu Gui, you are so brave, how dare you doubt the brotherhood between the emperor and the prince in front of the queen mother?!"
She knew that this person wanted to speak for Prince Xi, but the problem was that what he said was too stupid, it was simply discrediting Prince Xi.
The queen mother was also a little displeased, and she glanced at her and said, "You'd better have a baby."
Concubine Wu Gui gritted her teeth and shut up in aggrieved silence. But Hua Chun continued: "With the queen mother's will, the prince will definitely listen. Besides, although the prince and the emperor are not very close, but after all, blood is thicker than water. They are all the queen mother's own sons. You should also trust them .”
"En." The queen mother was moved, she nodded her head and said: "Yuejian is going to draw up an order for Ai's family, asking Prince Xi to send 50,000 troops for reinforcements, and must rush to join the emperor within one day after receiving the order."
"Yes." Yue Jian agreed and withdrew, Hua Chun quickly continued to praise the Queen Mother: "With you here, the brotherhood between the emperor and the prince will only become stronger and stronger."
Sighing slightly, when it comes to Prince Xi, the Empress Dowager is actually helpless, but she doesn't know what to say, after all, she is the youngest son who loves him the most, and knowing that there are some bad things about him, she can only tell others about it.
The Empress Dowager's decree soon arrived in the fief, and Yu Wenjie's eyes lit up slightly after hearing the content.
"How could the Queen Mother make such a decree?" Huo Zichong was stunned: "Ask Prince Xi to reinforce?"
The Queen Mother, who had always been protecting Prince Xi, could vaguely guess that the Japanese pirates were inextricably linked to Prince Xi, but in the end she sent Prince Xi to send troops, didn't she slap him in the face
Slightly pursing his lips, the emperor's tone carried a little pride that he didn't realize: "Because there is an amazing woman beside the queen mother."
"Ah?" Huo Zichong didn't realize it. He didn't realize it until he saw the emperor's eyes.
