The cold wind chilled her body and heart. The concubine's mind became clearer and clearer. She finally closed the window and curled up her shivering body. Dongyun quickly brought the hand stove and hot tea, but she pushed them away.
Open it, just open the box again, and look at those paper packages in a daze.
Dongyun held the stove and hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Master, what kind of medicine is this? Your body is better. How can you get better if you eat it badly? Why don't you let the imperial doctor come and take a look to see if it is edible."
"Bastard." Concubine Wen scolded her coldly. Under the dim and flickering candlelight, her eyes were cold and scary. "When the imperial doctor comes, I will die. Do you want me to die?"
"I don't dare, but..."
Concubine Wen smiled infatuatedly: "Don't worry, it won't harm my body. It's not for me to eat. It's probably for him. After eating this, he will like to come to Xianfu Palace often. But if it is really useful,
, I’m willing to eat both.”
Dongyun was horrified. She followed the imperial concubine day and night, but she didn't know that there was such a thing in Xianfu Palace. She knew that "he" meant the emperor. This was really a fatal matter. She tried hard to persuade him: "Master, please think twice.
What will happen once discovered?"
"What did you find that the emperor would go around and tell people that he is greedy for my bed?" Concubine Wen was very disdainful. The smile on her face was almost ferocious. She rubbed the paper packages with her slender fingers and said slowly, "He likes Concubine De so much.
, they are also very kind to Concubine Yi and the imperial concubine. I guess what great things can they do? But you see that Concubine Yi is pregnant with a child. At least there is tenderness between the bed and the bed. Since I don’t have one under the bed.
Fa'er makes him like me, so whenever he comes, I, the one on the bed, have to please him."
The more Dongyun listened, the more uneasy she became. Then she heard that this medicine was brought in by Laba's family when they visited today. It was said to be a general aphrodisiac. After taking it, both men and women would become passionate and court each other. According to them, it would not hurt people's health.
The female relatives at home also use these things in private. There are many wives and concubines in the house. The women try their best to win the hearts of their husbands. It is not difficult to get these things.
"But how are you going to give these things to the emperor? Madam, what if the emperor discovers..."
"Let's study it carefully now and find out how to do it in a foolproof way." Concubine Wen was very excited and didn't care about the possible consequences. To her, it seemed that everything didn't matter, as long as the emperor could visit her often, even if he was just greedy.
She was satisfied with her tenderness in bed. And she had always understood that she could never let go in bed, but how could a man not like a woman's passion in bed?
That night, the imperial concubine tried many methods to get the emperor to take these pearl powder-like things smoothly, and her efforts were not in vain. Two days later, the emperor came to Xianfu Palace. Originally, that day
I just wanted to sit and go without staying overnight, but I suddenly decided to stay, and then came to Xianfu Palace every two days. After that, my visits were more frequent than ever before. Throughout the twelfth lunar month, Concubine Wen of Xianfu Palace seemed to be a
Like a beloved concubine.
Everyone in the palace thought that the imperial concubine, the concubine De, Tong Bi and several other nobles who had previously liked the emperor were exhausted from the two-month journey. The emperor might just want them to have a good rest, and
In the past two months, Concubine Wen has been transformed into a radiant person with a noble status. It is not unusual for the emperor to often visit Xianfu Palace.
Even though there were a series of records, the emperor was in his prime, and it was not an exaggeration to say that bed affairs were frequent. Therefore, under everything seemed to be normal, Concubine Wen's continuous favor did not cause any turmoil in the palace.
This made her even bolder and more greedy for Xuan Ye's favor. The things that Laba had only given her that day were quickly used up.
The twelfth lunar month passed by in the blink of an eye, and after New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the palace was in the midst of festive celebrations for a long time. The emperor returned from his southern tour and could not forget the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, so he discussed with the ministers to build the remaining Tsinghua Garden, the first garden in Kyoto in the Ming Dynasty.
Changchun Garden was built on top of the water veins and rocks, imitating the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River. It will be used as a suburban palace for the emperor to spend summer vacations and listen to politics.
After making the decision that day, Xuan Ye came excitedly to tell the Queen Mother about the layout of Changchun Garden. After it was built, he would serve his grandmother to live there so that she could enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan without leaving the capital. The Queen Mother knew that
Nowadays, the world is at peace and the country is strong. Although the cost of building gardens is huge, it is not as much as the military expenditures of war. Seeing that he is so happy, he does not make any objections. He just smiles and sighs at his old bones. I don’t know if I can wait until the garden is completed.
The day of completion.
Xuan Ye just tried to make his grandmother happy, and with Yinzuo jumping around in front of him, the little guy even pestered his father and asked: "Huang Ama, when the garden is built, will my son and I also be able to go to the study?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "You are so naughty, the study is the most boring place, are you willing to go?"
Yinzuo nodded seriously: "Fourth brother likes to go to the study. I like to go wherever fourth brother likes to go. Moreover, fourth brother said that if I study hard and obey my orders, my mother will be very happy and she won't scold me every day."
Lan Qi scolded from the side: "What are you complaining about? Who caused trouble yesterday and almost burned Huan Chun's clothes? It's already easier for me not to beat you. I just said a few words to you and you still dare to complain?"
Xuan Ye heard that he almost burned Huan Chun's clothes, and when he asked why, he scolded his son coldly, and the little boy turned around and hid in his great-grandmother's arms to seek shelter.
Although the Empress Dowager felt distressed, she could not help but say to the two of them: "I occasionally worry that he is spoiled, but he still likes him very much when he comes here, and I won't tolerate you saying a harsh word. This is not good. Since he likes him
It's better to go to the study room earlier. He's so smart and it's easy to learn well."
On a whim, Xuan Ye said he would take his son to the study room to have a look. It happened to be the beginning of the first month of school. He had not yet asked about the studies of several children. He got up to take Yin Zuo away from the arms of the imperial grandmother. I don't know if he got up.
It was so violent that Xuan Ye's vision went black for a while, and he was about to fall down as soon as his body went limp. Fortunately, he had a strong body and exercised diligently on weekdays, so he still stood firm.
But the Empress Dowager, Lan Qi and Grandma Sumala all saw it clearly. Xuan Ye waved his hands and said it was nothing. In their eyes, it was a big deal. The emperor could not help but refuse, so they quickly placed him in the dormitory, and immediately
Summon the imperial physician.
Xuan Ye didn't show off, and lay down quietly to rest. Lan Qi stayed beside him, frowning nervously, Xuan Ye smiled lightly and coaxed her: "I'm probably tired, I'll be fine."
Lan Qi was so distressed that she couldn't help but blame: "I always don't listen to advice."
Xuan Ye still wanted to bully her: "You got the chance to talk about me, didn't you? The imperial grandmother will also blame me soon, and you can have fun on the side."
"Who is willing to steal this fun?" Lan Qi tucked him in, "Your Majesty, please take a nap. Even if you fall asleep, the Empress Dowager will be reluctant to wake you up and scold you."
But when she saw Aunt Sumala coming in, she looked a little embarrassed and asked Empress De Fei to go out. Seeing her expression, Lan Qi felt panicked, fearing that Xuan Ye was seriously ill. But when she waited outside, she was greeted by the Empress Dowager.
He scolded her a few times and asked her why she didn't know how to behave and seduced the emperor to have sex every night.
The Empress Dowager was so impatient that she always chose the people closest to her to lose her temper. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the records for the past two months, Lan Qi could count the number of nights she spent in bed on one hand. The person who worked the most diligently was Xian.
Concubine Wen of Fu Palace.
"Master is just worried. Those words are not directed at my Majesty. Please don't take them to heart." Aunt Sumala apologized to Lan Qi on behalf of the Empress Dowager.
But she was not wronged, just frightened. Now she knew that the Empress Dowager was the most anxious person, so she fell on her knees and said, "Why am I wronged? Please don't get angry in a hurry, otherwise the Emperor will be even more sad."
Already."
Before the imperial doctor could leave, he was called again. After careful interrogation, the empress dowager felt that the imperial doctor was hiding something with his flashing eyes. After repeated interrogations, the imperial doctor finally lost control and said that he suspected the emperor of using medicine, but there was no concrete evidence.
, they dare not make a conclusion unless they ask the emperor himself.
The Empress Dowager pulled Xuan Ye big with one hand. If she had any questions about her grandson, she immediately came in to question Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye was very confused. The Empress Dowager knew that he did not dare to lie to her, so she had to give the order first
It is not allowed to let outsiders know that the emperor has banned sexual intercourse in recent days. As for whether to use medicine, he will not let it go and will investigate it secretly.
In the Xianfu Palace, the female members of the Niu Hulu family were entering the palace to visit the imperial concubine. They had not seen the imperial concubine in close contact with her natal family for several days, but this time she was anxious to call people in again. Naturally, it was because she had used up her magic weapon to retain the emperor.
After so many days of absence, the imperial concubine felt very uneasy. She could not forget the tenderness of the twelfth lunar month. She always felt that if she could let the emperor lust after her body for a few more days, he would really fall in love with her in the future.
But not long after the family members left the palace, Concubine Wen was carefully collecting those things when suddenly word spread that the Queen Mother's sedan arrived in front of the Xianfu Palace. Concubine Wen felt very strange. There was nothing good or bad here, so why did the Queen Mother come here?
, when she quickly packed her things and welcomed the Queen Mother in, she saw an angry and cold look on her face, not knowing why she was unhappy.
Without saying a word, the Queen Mother dismissed the rest of the crowd and asked the concubine coldly if she had done anything she shouldn't have done. When the concubine Wen heard that the emperor had excessive sexual intercourse and was suspected to have been caused by medication, she turned pale with fright. But after all, she had
I don't have the courage to admit it, and deny that there is something fishy here.
I thought I could escape the disaster, but the Queen Mother came at the request of the Queen Mother, and I was not prepared to be polite to her. She said: "Since you say you are innocent, you are not afraid of me searching. Don't think so either.
Sorry, I searched all the way here."
"The Queen Mother..."
Concubine Wen still wanted to defend herself, but the Queen Mother didn't listen at all. She ordered people to search the entire Xianfu Palace, including the Jue Chan family in the side hall. The palace door was tightly closed to prevent any news from leaking out. Jue Chan family was called inexplicably.
Come, when she saw the eunuch brought a locked box and placed it in front of the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother ordered the concubine to open it, Concubine Wen refused vehemently and even asked the Queen Mother: "I always have something private, why should the Queen Mother be so embarrassed?"
people?"
She didn't say it was good, but she said it had the implication that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place. The Queen Mother didn't care about her face, and had the box smashed open on the spot. When the small paper packages came into everyone's sight, Jue Chan saw
Concubine Wen beside her softened and fell heavily.
The Queen Mother was extremely angry: "What happened to her?"
Master Juechan hurriedly came to help her, but saw that the imperial concubine was already unconscious.
Half an hour later, the Queen Mother returned to Cining Palace and told the Queen Mother in embarrassment: "Empress, Concubine Wen is pregnant."
