Chapter 22 The crescents do not allow(1/2)
So for several days, after Xuan Ling came to see me a few times, most of the time he stayed in Yuzhao Palace. WWW.tsxsw.COM Xu Jieyu's body gradually improved, and Liu Deyi, who lived with him, also received some favors. Although Xu Jieyu was still in a confinement, Yuzhao Palace became more popular, but the concubines were all suffering from being unable to easily set foot in Yuzhao Palace.
Huanbi asked me: "Miss is one of the three concubines and has a life-saving grace for Concubine Xu. Why don't you take the opportunity to visit Concubine Xu?"
I planted a pot of freshly sent from the flower room and said slowly: "I have helped her in time, so why bother to add icing on the cake at this time? Just let the emperor accompany her more."
Huanbi chuckled and said, "Don't you know, Miss Hui? Concubine Hui said that the Empress Dowager wanted to be with the emperor all the time."
I was surprised and stopped the embroidery in my hand and said, "When did it happen?"
"The Queen Mother Xu's body has improved, and the Queen Mother asked Master Hui to accompany the Emperor more. Now the three of them often talk in Yuzhao Palace."
I smiled softly, and it was very dissatisfied. "No matter how much Xu Jieyu wants to be alone with the emperor, Yi Meizhuang's temperament may not be willing to squeeze in the middle. The empress dowager used too much, and it was thankless." I stood up and said, "There is nothing to do with you. Please accompany me to Tangli Palace to see Concubine Hui."
Tangli Palace is still pure and free, everything in the palace keeps the way I left, and there is no increase in anything. Instead, the two begonias in front of Yingxin Palace have become more and more green and tall.
My heart is grateful and when it comes to friendship, Mei Zhuang and me are the deepest.
At this time, there was no one in the palace quietly, and there was only a small inner supervisor at the door squatting and napping. The season of crabapple and pear blossoms in the Tangli Palace has passed, and only the green leaves are shady and green, and the branches are green and lush, which is becoming more and more quiet. Bai Ling yawned and picked out the Xiang Concubine's curtain, looking sleepy. When she saw me, she was frightened and said, "The Empress is here, our Empress is here, but she said she can't sleep, and the Empress is here. It's really a coincidence." As she said that, she led me in.
Meizhuang was lying in the back hall of Yingxin Hall. Seeing that she was not sleepy, I couldn't help but joke: "Why is the person who loves to sleep on weekdays now not sleepy?"
When Meizhuang saw me coming in, she picked up a long red gold hairpin from the dressing table and tied her hair, complaining: "I'm very upset, but you're still just telling jokes."
Seeing that she was upset, I put away my joking attitude and said, "But for the sake of the Queen Mother and the Emperor?"
In the hot summer season, Meizhuang only wore a soft gauze dress with a small rust red embroidered golden silk wood fragrant chrysanthemum, with a look of burning and troubled expression on her face. Her slender eyebrows that were slender and hung up like a crescent moon hooked up, "You know, you should naturally understand what I am worried about."
I half-jokingly said, "There have been many years since the incident. Are my sister still angry with the emperor?"
Meizhuang's always dignified face showed a hint of sadness and disdain, "Are you angry? I don't think it's even worth being angry for him. Although so many years have passed, I watched coldly, but I just feel that this person is getting colder and colder." Meizhuang's fingers accidentally passed by the strings of the piano, leaving a string of neat and shallow tone, "For example, you, Xu Jieyu, such as Fu Ruyin, I just think it's not worth laughing at him or crying." Meizhuang smiled slightly, and a cold and sparse smile appeared in her smile, "For example, Huan'er, how much sincerity do you have to him? Or are you returning to the palace purely for him?"
I stood up and could hardly suppress my smile, "Sister knows, why bother ask? I am the same as my sister, it is not worth it. The only difference is that I still have something to ask for him, but my sister has no desires or demands."
Mei Zhuang smiled sneered, her plump red lips were like a pair of beautiful petals, with a sarcastic smile on her face, "I want to have desires and requests, but he can't afford it." She tightened the hairpin on her hair tightly. "I've been really embarrassed these two days, and I asked the Empress Dowager to squeeze between the emperor and Xu Jieyu, and I was somewhat uncomfortable. I only saw that Xu Jieyu was very concerned about the emperor, but the emperor was only concerned about the children in her belly."
I smiled brightly, "Did you also realize what Concubine Xu is thinking?"
"I used to think that she was calm and was not a person who fought for favor. Now she was getting close, but she turned out to be very affectionate to the emperor." Mei Zhuang paused, raised her bright face as bright as the moon, and could not hide her sadness in her tone. "But she is still young, how could she know the four words "infatuation" are so powerful!"
I was so infatuated that I was wrong! These four words were almost like needles in my heart. If I had been in the past, I might have cried bitterly because of these four words. However, at this moment, the pain was only a moment, and it was replaced by a numb feeling.
Are you sad? You were once heartbreaking and heartbreaking. However, now that you have passed the sadness, you will not be sad. You just feel that it is not worth it for such a person, and all that is left is just numbness to the past.
Mei Zhuang's face became calm and reached out to pluck the leaves of the hanging plants hanging in front of the window. "I think I can't do anything about Xu Jieyu's affection for the emperor. So no matter how much the Queen Mother thought that I could serve the emperor again, it was just thinking about it."
When Meizhuang said this, I couldn't say anything. However, I couldn't help but persuade: "The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager after all, and he is the only person you can rely on now. Don't disobey the Empress Dowager too much."
Mei Zhuang's eyes became dim in an instant, like a candle fire thrown into the lake, and it lost its light in an instant. Her voice could not hear any emotion, "I will be able to grasp the right amount."
Meizhuang's degree came to my ears one night three days later. If Li Chang hadn't told me personally, I wouldn't believe it myself. Li Chang attached himself to my ear and said, "The Emperor stayed in Tangli Palace tonight."
At that time, I changed into a homely star peach-colored butterfly patterned bedding, and was drinking the Qicui soup that Jinxi had simmered for two hours. Li Changyi said that I almost didn't hold the soup cup firmly and almost poured it on my skirt.
After leaving the palace, everyone in the harem regarded Tangli Palace as an ominous place. Even after Meizhuang moved, Xuan Ling refused to step in. The accidental summoning of Meizhuang was just summoned to the east room of Yiyuan Palace. As Meizhuang said, Xuan Ling had never summoned her again after leaving the palace. Now he suddenly said, "I stayed in Tangli Palace." Not to mention me, even Xiao Yunzi, who had served Meizhuang, was secretly shocked.
Li Chang smiled and said, "This is the happy event of the noble concubine, and it is also something the queen mother has always hoped for. Moreover, the emperor did not like Tangli Palace in the past, but now the empress has returned, so naturally there is no taboo."
Li Chang's words immediately woke me up. Xuan Ling and Mei Zhuang's actions were probably the result of the long instructing of the empress dowager. After thinking about it carefully, Xu Jieyu and I are now focused on restoring the fetus. An Lingrong and Guan Wenyuan were neglected and confined. There was no one around Xuan Ling, which was a good time for Mei Zhuang to regain favor.
Li Chang said nothing, "Today, the emperor went to Tangli Palace, and Concubine Hui was summoned by the Queen Mother to speak to Yining Palace."
Li Chang said it until I understood it. I smiled and said, "I have something to ask my father-in-law. The emperor stayed in Tangli Palace like this. I didn't give any instructions in advance. Can Tongshi, who is in charge of the service room, be recorded?"
Li Chang was stunned, and slapped his head and stood up and said, "I am confused, but I have forgotten it."
I used a silver spoon to pick the soup inadvertently, "I thought that the emperor stayed in Tangli Palace, and it was logical that my father-in-law should serve there. But now my father-in-law came out calmly, and I guessed that it was the emperor or noble concubine who sent me out. Since my father-in-law came out and had a lot of things to do in the ordinary days, I might not have forgotten to ask him to write a note in Tong's history, so I just reminded me."
Li Chang hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out that Guipin Hui said he would not need anyone to serve him outside, so he sent the slaves out. Since the imperial concubine was having wine with the emperor, the slaves were lazy. Fortunately, the empress reminded her, otherwise the slave would have misled the matter."
I hurriedly asked, "It doesn't matter if Tongshi is wrong. I just thought that if my sister is lucky enough to have a dragon seed, Tongshi will be a certificate. Now it's not good for my father-in-law to mobilize all his troops to go there for a word. It's the same for someone to ask someone to make a note on the emperor's daily life note 1."
Li Changnuonuo agreed and went back to Yiyuan Palace to go to Tangli Palace to welcome Xuanling's morning court at dawn.
After this, Meizhuang didn't mention it to me. I asked by chance, and Xuan Lingyi just stroked her forehead and smiled at me: "Then Japan is drinking at Guipin Hui. I never thought that after a few days of hard work, I fell asleep in a little drowsy after a few drinks."
I didn't think about him. In the next few days, Meizhuang was neither enthusiastic nor Xuanling was anxious. I occasionally wanted to summon Meizhuang to accompany me, but Caiyue reported her discomfort. In this way, Xuanling didn't mention it after asking a few times.
I was thinking that I was getting heavier and I was pregnant for more than six months. If I had to bind my belly every day, it would be bad for the fetus, so I asked Huanbi to invite Wen Shichu to come and wanted to discuss a countermeasure with him.
Wen Shichu came quickly. After hearing my doubts, he said, "Branding silk belly is not a long-term solution. But on the one hand, the empress is not too tight, and on the other hand, it is also a method of binding, which is not too important. Now we can gradually loosen it. After more than half a month, everyone will be more pleasing to the eye."
I glanced at my lower abdomen in embarrassment, relaxed gently, and sighed: "For some reason, I always feel that my stomach looks a little bigger. If not, I don't have to tie my abdomen every day for fear of hurting the fetus."
Wen Shichu's expression was a little dazed, as if he was wandering outside the sky, and his soul was absent. He rarely had such an intent look in front of me. After I finished speaking, he was still stunned, as if he was thinking about something unspeakable. I was not surprised, and coughed gently, calling out: "Master Wen."
He came to his senses for a moment, with a light flush on his cheeks, covering up his hesitation: "I have something that I have been thinking about for a long time, but I have never dared to confirm whether I want to tell the Empress?"
Seeing his expression solemn, my heart sank first and said hoarsely: "Just say, is there anything wrong with the fetus?"
Wen Shichu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is actually a happy event." He paused for a moment and said, "What the Empress has in her belly is a picture of twins."
I was almost stunned for a moment and couldn't speak at all, as if a water ball was pressed to the bottom of the water with force, and then suddenly came up, an indescribable surprise. After a long time, I woke up and felt a huge joy and joy, "Aren't you messing with me?"
Wen Shichu shook his head and said, "I have served in the palace for many years, and I still have this confidence." He still had the hesitant face, "But, it's better for the Empress to not let outsiders know about this."
I immediately understood that if others knew that I was pregnant with a twin, I would be more eye-catching and hurt my child.
Huanbi frowned and said in a stern voice: "Miss has just returned to the palace and it is hard to distinguish between me and me in the palace. If you release the news that it is a twin, I am afraid that someone will fall into the trap."
I glanced at her and didn't say anything. I shook the round fan, making the already cool fan cooler even deeper. Wen Shichu changed his face slightly and said, "Miss Bi's words are wrong. What Miss Bi said is a dangerous move. Is it important to be the Queen's fetus or the difference between enemies and us?"
Wen Shichu said this urgently, and even his always gentle and kind expression was harsh. Huanbi knew that she had made up her mind and dared not speak again after she lowered her head.
I slowly shook the round fan, the light and coolness was like the wind blowing on my face, and the fragrance of flowers leaking out of the hall was rich. "It is of course important to distinguish between enemies and friends, otherwise it would be like being on a cliff. I just have to bet on my children in the palace. In fact, if you want to divide these enemies and friends, you really don't have to involve the children." A soft curve was raised on the corner of my lips, "I have my own plans."
The weather was very good this day, and the summer afternoon was washed away by a sudden heavy rain. The air was filled with the sweet and pure and passionate fragrance that only the blooming flowers in summer remained. I changed into a soft and light sunset purple-collared gauze dress, and I seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of smoke. The neckline was also embroidered with a few light-colored iris with lingering branches and leaves, paired with a pearl-colored pleated skirt. A pink pearl hairpin between my hair was dotted with a few pearl flowers, hazy as smoke, straight as a new willow flower, blooming in the early spring.
The Yining Palace was quiet, and occasionally I heard a few laughter sounds coming out, and it was Xuan Ling who was talking with the Empress Dowager.
The empress dowager's spirit became much more refreshing. Xuan Ling was only wearing a lotus-gray gauze shirt with a white silk shirt, looking happy and contented. No wonder he was happy. Since Xu Jieyu's body was stable, he had lost all his thoughts.
I bowed and smiled and said, "The Queen Mother's complexion is getting better and better."
The Empress Dowager hurriedly called me up and said to Xuanling with a smile: "Concubine Guan is too lawful. The Ai family told her how many times she had been pregnant but she was not obeyed."
Xuan Ling looked at me with a smile and said, "Concubine Wan is the same filial piety to her mother as her son." He looked at me with a slight look of surprise, "Your belly is getting bigger again."
My face turned slightly red, and I was already shy and bowed my head. The Queen Mother's eyes also fell on me, and she smiled and said, "Concubine Wan's belly looks bigger than ordinary people who are five months older than those who are usually."
I smiled softly, and the color of coral was surging on my pink cheeks, and the sound was like a mosquito, "The Imperial Doctor said, maybe there is a twin fetus in my belly."
Xuan Ling could hardly believe it and said in surprise: "Huanhuan, what you said is true?"
I was shy and lowered my head more and more. My jaw could almost touch the iris on the neckline. I said softly: "It was the one who broke it by Doctor Wen, so I dare not speak nonsense."
The queen mother's smile was kind and moist, "Dr. Wen is an honest man, and his medical skills are good, so I guess he can't be wrong."
Xuan Ling rubbed his hands happily, as if he didn't know what to say. His eyes were full of brilliance and the brilliance of rainbows. Xuan Ling's words were filled with joy, "It's better to tell the world such a big happy event!"
I knelt down, "It is a blessing that I can serve the emperor again with a small body. How dare I tell the world that I am lucky because of my son in my womb? What's more, even if they are twins, if they are emperor heirs, if they are all emperor princes, they cannot continue their bloodlines for the emperor. Why tell the world that they can attract the joy of the people? I will never dare to bear such honor and favor."
After such gentle words, Xuan Ling pondered silently. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the empress dowager with a very appreciative look, and my heart became more and more stable. "I just returned to the palace, and I don't want to have more troubles because of my own affairs. I also want to have a good baby and keep it safe and avoid being disturbed by congratulations. Therefore..." I pondered for a moment, "I am pregnant with twin fetuses. I hope no fourth person will know about it before the melon is ripe."
My hidden worries were tactfully revealed in my words, what kind of person the Empress Dowager was, and how could she not know, and only said: "It is not beneficial for Guan Fei to have a baby in the six palaces. After giving birth in the future, you will know it. There is no need to rush for a moment."
Xuan Ling followed his mother's order and said with a smile: "My mother and Concubine Wan said this, so my son naturally had no objection. But my son felt that something was so happy. It would be a pity if no one celebrated me."
I took a deep breath, "If it is really as the imperial physician has been sentenced, will the emperor be afraid that there will be no celebration? Since the emperor is so happy, why not relieve Xu Jieyu's order to be confined because of his happiness."
When Xuan Ling heard this, he was surprised and said, "What did you say?"
I bowed down solemnly and said respectfully: "I am asking the emperor to answer the order of Xu Jieyu to be confined to the emperor. Xu Jieyu is pregnant with the emperor's descendants, and the confinement made him feel depressed and he got seriously ill, and he almost couldn't even protect the emperor's heirs. For the sake of his generation, I ask the emperor to restore Xu Jieyu's past rituals to seek peace for the mother and son."
A sudden worry flashed across his handsome face, and his words were somewhat slight responsive. "It is an unlucky sign that Yan Chongyue clashed with the queen and the queen fell ill one after another. How do you ask me to dare to protect an unborn child with the safety of the queen?" His thick eyebrows slightly raised faintly revealed his dissatisfaction, "Huanhuan, you have always been filial to the queen."
"Yes. The Empress Dowager set an example for women in the world. His status is unparalleled. No matter who or what is happening, he will never hurt the Empress Dowager. I was anxious just now, and it was because the empress dowager's complexion has improved and his body has gradually calmed down before he dared to speak out. I guessed that the changes in the celestial phenomena are unpredictable, and it is unknown whether the ominous signs have been resolved. The emperor can ask the Imperial Heaven Supervisor. If the misfortune is resolved, it will not endanger the Empress Dowager and the Empress again. It would not be too late to relieve Xu Jieyu's order to be confined."
Xuan Ling pondered silently, but the empress dowager smiled slightly and said slowly: "Concubine Wan begged so much, the Ai family really wants to hear the words of the Imperial Heaven Supervision. Is it really delayed to do bad luck?"
Xuan Ling hurriedly smiled and said, "Since the mother spoke, my son will go to summon the emcee of the Imperial Heaven Supervision to ask, so that the mother can rest assured."
But in a cup of tea, the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison arrived, and Xuan Ling looked surprised, "Why are you here?"
The visitor lowered his head and said respectfully: "I am the deputy magistrate of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, I will pay long live the emperor. Because the magistrate was injured and his stomach was not allowed to face the saint, I sent me to meet the emperor and the queen mother." After he finished speaking, he took three steps back and bowed again.
Xuan Ling smiled gently, "You know the rules very well. I have summoned you this time to ask about the previous incident of the dangerous moon and the moon. After several months, I wonder what changes are there in the celestial phenomena?"
The deputy escort said: "The changes in the celestial phenomena are in control of good and bad changes in the world. It is said that people and things are done, and they are obeyed by the destiny of heaven. Although the celestial phenomena cannot be reversed easily, human behavior can also change the momentum of the celestial phenomena."
Xuan Ling listened intently and said for a moment: "So as you said, what is it like today?"
The deputy escort said respectfully: "The storm of the moon is the celestial phenomenon several months ago. In the past few months, the feng shui changes, the sun and the moon change, the stars of the storm are weak, and purple light can be seen faintly, with a harmonious atmosphere, and it has passed the sharp star of the storm of the moon. According to the knowledge of the empress, there is no major problem. Otherwise, how can the empress dowager be safe and healthy? Sitting on the phoenix throne and listening to the empress dowager's report."
Xuan Ling seemed to be disbelief, "It's true that as you said, why is the queen still lingering in sick bed, and why doesn't the Empress of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor report this matter early?"
The deputy escort said: "The dangerous moon and the moon are in conflict with the moon, and the moon is the great honor of women. The most noble woman in the world is the queen mother. The queen is the queen mother. Although the queen is also in the moon, her birth, old age, sickness and death are bound by the sky and are also agreed upon by human affairs. If today's elephant is peaceful, the empress dowager will recover. It can be seen that the empress's illness is not related to the sky but involves human affairs, and the empress's illness is powerless. As for why the empress's escort did not report early, did the emperor hear that the emperor was planning the matter in his position and planned the matter. But the empress's minister believes that planning the matter can only protect his position. It is because the celestial phenomena are unlucky that the emperor relies on the Imperial Heavenly Prison, and the escort will have a salary to eat and power to refrain. If the celestial phenomena have always been peaceful, how could the emperor think of the Imperial Heavenly Prison? It is just a clear water yamen."
The deputy escort answered humbly and politely, but his words were very important and unconsciously attracted deep thoughts. Xuan Ling smiled slightly, "You seem to understand the injustice of being an official."
The deputy escort answered briefly without any politeness, "I understand, but I don't think so."
Xuan Ling's mouth contained a smile, with a hint of admiration, but she smiled without saying a word, looking at the empress dowager. The empress dowager chuckled and said, "The Ai family has not heard of political affairs for a long time, why should the emperor look at the Ai family laugh? "
The light from the corner of Xuan Ling's eyes fell on the look of the deputy escort's neither humble nor arrogant look, and smiled calmly, "My son thinks it's a pity that he is a deputy escort."
To be continued...
