Both of them stopped talking, and the emperor watched Feng Yuyi come in, and motioned him to get a pulse. Doctor Feng entered the inner hall with a serious face, glanced at Concubine De's face, and was slightly taken aback.
Hua Chun laughed dryly, and handed over his wrist guiltily.
Physician Feng began to feel the pulse, and the emperor and Gong Yuhou were also watching.
After holding it for a while, Feng Yuyi looked at Concubine De several times, and the latter had a flattering expression on her face.
"How?" the king asked.
After hesitating for a while, Doctor Feng said in a low voice: "Your Majesty may be too tired. You can just rest and not move your fetus."
Can't you say it's cold? The emperor frowned, and He Changan was also a little puzzled.
Qing Ling said in a low voice: "Maybe it's already healed, the only thing left is fatigue."
Hua Chun covered her face, this explanation is better than no explanation at all.
Doctor Feng packed up his things, saluted and left. The emperor looked at Huachun for a while, and seemed to understand her intentions, and his expression eased: "You have a good rest."
"Yes." Hurrying to cover the quilt and turn around and bury it in the pillow, Hua Chun silently recited "What's the matter" a hundred times in order to resolve the embarrassment.
He Changan followed the emperor and retreated.
"You should be able to see what she thinks." Walking on the palace road, Yu Wenjie said in a low voice: "Don't let your feelings become her burden, even the relationship between brother and sister."
Slightly dazed, He Changan lowered his eyes, and the blue-white cloak was gently flipped up by the cold wind.
"I understand."
If she wants to hide, then it's his fault.
Because of the competition for the position of concubine, Tang and Xu Guipin pinched each other very happily, so Hua Chun had enough energy to prepare for the arrival of Prince Xi. First prepare the palace for him, and then secretly arrange where his troops are stationed.
Prince Xi persevered in pleading with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother tried every means to put pressure on the emperor to agree to garrison troops in the suburbs of Beijing. The emperor was so annoyed that he simply closed the door and saw no one. The Queen Mother had no choice but to find Huachun.
"Prince Xi has already entered Beijing, but so many followers are outside the suburbs of Beijing and can't get in. You can help the Ai family find a way to do this."
Hua Chun sounds funny, why? Just because you are old, you can do whatever you want
"Empress Dowager." She said: "Within a hundred people, we can call those people the followers of Prince Xi, but if there are more than a hundred people, or even tens of thousands of people, they are not called followers, they are called troops. There is a decree from Daliang that the vassal king should not bring more than 5,000 troops into Beijing. Prince Xi brought 50,000, so naturally he can only stay outside the suburbs of Beijing, and this concubine has no choice."
The Queen Mother frowned: "Rules are dead, people are alive. There are so many vassal kings who have come to Beijing this time, how can we not give the emperor some protection?"
"As long as Prince Xi doesn't bring troops into Beijing, the emperor is very secure." Hua Chun smiled: "The empress dowager is not someone who can't understand the situation, but she is blinded by family affection. In all fairness, only Prince Xi can treat the situation well." The emperor poses a threat, why do you still want to indulge him?"
Slightly stunned, the Empress Dowager's expression became displeased: "You just don't want to help Aijia."
"The queen mother is wise." Hua Chun nodded, asking her to help her, this idea is too crazy.
"What a moral concubine." The queen mother sneered: "I don't know what kind of heart you have behind your back."
"Loyalty to the emperor." Hua Chun replied without thinking, "I only have the emperor in my eyes, and I put the emperor's interests first. What about the queen mother?"
Heart sank, the queen mother turned her eyes away and did not answer this question.
"People often say that a tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring." Hua Chun whispered, "But we humans can sometimes be more poisonous than tigers. When we have two children, we inevitably prefer one of them. Fairness, never considered."
"Are you mocking Aijia?" The queen mother stared at her sharply: "Who gave you the courage?"
"The empress dowager calms down." Hua Chun said, "Sarcasm is the kind of thing that will make people angry only if it is right. The empress dowager must treat the emperor and Prince Xi equally, so she will definitely not be hit by the concubine. No need to be angry."
"you… "
Hua Chun stood up and saluted the queen mother: "Prince Xi will enter the palace tonight, the queen mother should enjoy the family happiness, and the concubines will leave."
Staring at her back, the Empress Dowager took a long time to recover, pulled Yue Jian and said, "Look, she doesn't have the slightest bit of sorrow in her eyes!"
Yue Jian sighed, opened her mouth to say something, swallowed it back, and said: "You also said, Queen Mother, that she is not allowed to meddle in political affairs, so how can you let her persuade the emperor again? This matter is inherently wrong, You should directly reject Prince Xi."
The Queen Mother frowned, staring at Yuejian for a while: "How does Aijia feel, you always help Concubine De to speak recently?"
"The servant is not helping Concubine De, but helping you." Yue Jian said helplessly: "You will easily lose your mind when you encounter Prince Xi's affairs, and the servant does not want to see you do wrong."
Yeah? The queen mother lowered her eyes.
Xi'er didn't ask him much, but she could guess what he wanted.
What he wanted, she couldn't help but want to give.
Hua Chun went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to tidy up, and in the evening, he heard the news that Prince Xi had entered the palace.
"As soon as he came, I felt nothing good." Frowning, Hua Chun said: "I won't go to the Queen Mother's side at night, the Emperor will go there, we can hide if we can."
"Okay." Qing Niao nodded.
This side was determined to hide, but the people over there never thought of letting her go. Prince Xi greeted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, raised his head and asked, "I heard that Concubine De is pregnant with the emperor's heir, why didn't I see anyone? My brother also wants to congratulate the empress."
The emperor said indifferently: "She is raising her body."
"That's it." Prince Xi nodded: "I have heard a lot of rumors all the way to Beijing, and there are people who say that Concubine De is the Prime Minister Hua. Such absurd things spread all over the streets and alleys. Something is wrong."
Yu Wenjie frowned.
Everyone in the palace had already acquiesced in this matter. After all, with him and the queen mother suppressing it together, no one dared to say anything more. But how did it spread outside the palace
"Brother Huang, don't be nervous, those people must have spread it randomly." Yu Wenxi said with a smile: "If it is true, the imperial court should have been turned upside down long ago. This crime of deceiving the emperor has been concealed, and it cannot be lightly forgiven."
All the people in the hall were silent, the queen mother moved her lips, she wanted to say nothing but said: "You have worked hard all the way, let's have dinner with the Ai family and your emperor brother first."
"Okay." Yu Wenxi responded with a smile, glanced at the emperor, and followed the queen mother to get up and walk to the dining hall.
"Where is she?" the emperor asked in a low voice.
Eunuch Qin bowed and said, "Relax in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. If you say you feel uncomfortable, you won't come here."
It's fine if you don't come, the emperor nodded, for Prince Xi, he had to help her fool her through.
"Your Majesty." Rui'er came in and reported, "Master Hou said that everything has been arranged properly, just let you have a good rest."
Relieved, Huachun nodded, her body has been sore and weak for the past two days, and she can't bear the toss, so she can only help the emperor get here, the rest, with Yu Wenjie's black belly, should be able to handle it.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Tang Shi came over and said in a soft voice: "Madam, Madam Xu Guipin is afraid that another five points will be deducted."
"What?" Hua Chun closed his eyes and asked feebly.
Tang Shi said: "As soon as Prince Xi came back, there was a lot of movement in her palace, and someone sent a letter, but I don't know what it was written in."
She found out all of this? Opening his eyes, Hua Chun looked at her in surprise: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, the concubine happened to be passing by, and saw the maid beside her sneaking towards Boyang Palace with a letter."
What happened to pass by, obviously someone was sent to monitor it? Hua Chun really admired them, for the sake of their status, they had already dug out all the secrets of each other.
"This palace will investigate. If there is any collusion between the concubine and the prince, let alone the position of concubine, her life may be lost." Hua Chun said: "You have worked hard."
Tang smiled, nodded and stepped back.
Qing Ling muttered: "This is really two free monitors, you can know what they are doing now."
"How nice." Hua Chun smiled, and then became serious again. There are many ghosts in this harem, although Concubine Shu, Concubine Wu, Concubine Wu, Duan Cairen and others have been eliminated, but no one can guarantee that there is no one from Prince Xi among the remaining concubines.
In fact, the placement of people in the harem is really useless except to find out the emperor's preferences, work and rest, and the duty schedule of the palace guards. After all, there are so many women, and none of them can fascinate the emperor. However, if Prince Xi is really rebellious, it is enough to find so many things, and it can become an important thing to win when the two sides are evenly matched.
Would Xu Guipin choose to join Prince Xi so foolishly
After thinking about it, she yawned and fell asleep hugging the quilt sleepily.
The emperor has not come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a long time, and he probably won't come tonight either.
The dinner in the Huiming Palace was in progress, and Prince Xi came up and asked, "I heard that the beauties you gave to the emperor last time didn't suit the emperor's eyes?"
The emperor didn't say a word, and ate quietly.
Sighing, Prince Xi said: "My brother really wanted to make Brother Huang happy. I didn't choose a good person last time, but this time I made careful preparations. Please take a look at Brother Huang."
The Queen Mother helped to smooth things over: "Bring it up and have a look."
Prince Xi smiled, turned his head and winked at the person next to him, and the palace man immediately brought a beauty up with wine.
"My concubine is from the Lu family, and I greet the emperor."
Glancing at her, the emperor asked, "Does it have anything to do with Lu Sanbian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Mrs. Lu was taken aback, her eyes were full of innocence: "I am born in Huaiyang, and I don't know the Lord of the Ministry of Punishment."
That's good, the emperor nodded, and his curiosity about the beauty was limited to this.
The Empress Dowager looked at the girl, she was really dignified and elegant, she was from a scholarly family, she was many times better than those smoky lands or merchants' daughters.
"Aijia looks good, what does the emperor think?"
