"Master, please eat something." Jinxiu kept urging Yu Ronghua, who was sitting on the bed. After the master had a miscarriage, the emperor cried once when he came over. After that, he didn't cry, make trouble, say nothing, and always touched his hands subconsciously.
On the lower abdomen.
Yu Ronghua's eyes slowly shifted to the porridge bowl Jinxiu was holding, and he said somewhat dullly: "Take it down, I'm not hungry."
"Master..." Seeing that the master finally spoke, Jinxiu tried to persuade her a few more times, but Yu Ronghua still didn't respond. In the end, she could only quietly exit, and shook her head helplessly at Jinse who was in the outer room. Because that day
It was Jin Se who followed Yu Ronghua with another little palace maid, but they failed to protect their master and mistress. Jin Se felt guilty and did not dare to get in front of Yu Ronghua to stimulate her.
Almost everyone thought that Yu Ronghua's miscarriage was an accident, including Yu Ronghua himself. But Mother Ma followed Gu Panfu's wishes and followed Qiushui Pavilion closely, and within a few days she caught Qiushui Pavilion's fox tail.
The attendant next to Xue Xuan gave a large bag of broken silver to the palace maid of Qiushui Pavilion. The little palace maid was also cautious and waited for several days before going out with the silver. She went to a small door of the House of Internal Affairs and handed the silver out.
.
Mother Ma came back and told Gu Panfu the news, "Oh? Did you see that person's face clearly?" The weather was getting a little hot at the end of March. Hanlu took out the fan she had used before and asked Gu Panfu to choose which ones were still good.
use.
"No, it's too dark, and the man is inside the door again."
Gu Panfu took out the Liuguang Brocade fan given by Gu Huasi from the box, "Send the Liuguang Brocade that the Emperor gave you to the clothing bureau. I just wanted it to look like a hibiscus flower and match it." Gu Panfu smiled.
Then he told Hanlu, watched her write it down on the paper, and then said to Mother Ma: "I originally thought that the eunuch was from Cining Palace, and I also thought about how Xue Xuanshi had such great ability.
It was inserted into Cining Palace."
Mother Ma agreed with her and smiled, "Now it seems that he is a young eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Then she asked, "Then...Master, do we want him?"
"No, don't move yet." Gu Panfu immediately stopped her. The queen is about to give birth, and it is not appropriate to cause trouble in the harem now. Only when the queen's status is stable, can she be a favorite concubine in the future. The queen's origin and upbringing determine her legal wife.
The queen has her own reserve and pride, which she and Xie Xiao know very well, so the couple has never blushed for so many years. For such a sober and rational boss, Gu Panfu doesn't want to change her.
"Just stare at it first. It would be best if you can see your face." Gu Panfu knocked on the low table and smiled meaningfully at Mother Ma, "We can't come forward in this matter. Yu Ronghua has to speak for himself.
, just wait for a while.”
"Yes, the master has thought carefully."
In the evening, Xie Xiao turned over the sign of Weiyu Xiaozhu. When he came, he had his hands behind his back and a mysterious smile on his face. Before Gu Panfu could give him a gift, Xie Xiao had already walked up to her and bent down slightly.
: "Guess what I brought you?"
Gu Panfu was surprised that Xie Xiao still had such a lively side, and she cooperated with curiosity and surprise: "Then the emperor can show it to my concubine." After saying that, she reached behind Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao took a step back slightly, took out the hand from behind and raised it high. Gu Panfu didn't stand firm and fell straight into Xie Xiao's arms. Xie Xiao smiled and hugged her, his tone was like that of a playboy from a wealthy family.
Disciple: "I'm going to be rude when a beauty throws herself into my arms."
"Oops," Gu Panfu blushed, Xie Xiao was very tall, and she had to put one hand on his shoulder to stand steady. The other hand took the thing in Xie Xiao's hand, which was a pure gold hollow incense stick with flower and bird patterns.
The ball is about the size of an orange, exquisitely and gorgeously made, and has a red stripe underneath.
"I saw that on your birthday, you seemed to like the pair of fragrant balls given by the Changning Palace. However, the workmanship was average, so I asked Ming Zhong to find a few good-looking ones for you." Xie Xiao seemed to be asking for credit.
He told her that Mingzhong behind him was holding a sandalwood box and placing it on the table.
Gu Panfu's birthday was also held in March, and a small banquet was held in Weiyu Xiaozhu. Gifts were sent from each palace, including the Anyang Marquis' Mansion outside the palace and the Changning Duke's Mansion. "Concubine and Changning Duke.
The daughter-in-law of the house is given a handkerchief." Gu Panfu smiled softly, missing that innocent and cute little girl a little.
"Oh? I heard some news about this young lady." Xie Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gu Panfu stood on tiptoe and placed a kiss on Xie Xiao's face, looking at him with bright eyes. While the two were having fun, all the slaves in the room left, leaving only Hanrui and Mingzhong guarding the door.
Xie Xiao burst out laughing, hugged her and sat down, "She said she was engaged to the second son of the Minister of Civil Affairs."
"So...how is the second young master like?"
"I heard it's okay." Xie Xiao pinched her face and said, "Worry about it."
Gu Panfu took his hand, held it in her hand, and bit his fingertip gently. It wasn't light or heavy, but the tingling feeling suddenly rushed to Xie Xiao's heart. Xie Xiao's hand
He quickly picked up Gu Panfu and carried her into the inner room.
After the storm, Gu Panfu lay sleepily on Xie Xiao's body, as if she was attached to his breath, rubbing Xie Xiao's shoulder.
Xie Xiao patted her back lightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Go to sleep." Xie Xiao had a good appearance, with black hair hanging loose at this time, and she was leaning on the soft cushion with a lazy and sexy expression. Gu Panfu was lying on her back.
She looked up and was really mesmerized by the face for a moment. Xie Xiao raised her hand to cover her eyes and said, "Go to sleep."
Gu Panfu smiled silently and closed her eyes.
This morning, it was Gu Panfu who woke up first. Looking at Xie Xiao sleeping harmlessly, she pressed the corner of her mouth and gently tapped the mole on the tip of his nose with her fingertips.
Xie Xiao was sleeping very lightly and shook his head: "What time is it?"
"It's time for the emperor to go to court." Gu Panfu looked at his frown and snickered. It turned out that even the emperor didn't want to get up early.
After seeing off Xie Xiao, Gu Panfu was in a good mood. She thought that if Xie Xiao could be promoted to her position, wouldn't this life be perfect? "Oh, Hanrui, I want to eat Xiao Long Bao this morning.
It must be paired with authentic Shanxi mature vinegar.”
Hanrui laughed out loud after hearing this: "Master, why do you think about eating when you get up?"
Gu Panfu raised her hand and pretended to hit her: "Bad girl, you know how to tease me." Hanrui begged for mercy with a smile, and she and Hanlu went out laughing.
It's a pity that Gu Panfu didn't wait for her xiaolongbao, but another news came. The little eunuch guarding the door came to report, and the queen started it. Gu Panfu almost choked herself with a sip of tea, and quickly calmed down.
"Han Lu, come here and dress me up."
In Fengyi Palace, the palace maid Wen Po was coming and going, and there were many people watching, but they were all in an orderly manner. The eldest princess had been arranged elsewhere early, with a nanny specially taking care of her. Gu Panfu was given a high-ranking meeting ceremony
, he found his seat and sat down. There were pastries and hot tea on the table. Gu Panfu picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and looked around. Yuan Chongrong came very early this time, but the expression on his face
But it was not out of concern for the queen, but out of an indescribable sense of gloating over misfortune.
The queen showed no sign of giving birth until noon, and the purple orchid and purple jade stayed by the queen's side. The tea on the table was changed three times, and even though the chair had a backrest, Gu Panfu still felt sore and sore from sitting down, but she showed no signs of it.
I moved my waist. Giving birth is a strenuous job, and so is accompanying the child.
The emperor was supposed to come over after the next court, but the previous court had urgent military matters to deal with. When coming from Taichen Palace, the Queen Mother was only one step ahead of the emperor. She sat at the top, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands,
As she muttered words, the Queen Mother was really like a Buddha on the lotus throne at this moment. The Emperor's expression was calm and indifferent, but seeing that he was sitting in a different posture than before, with his back slightly straightened, he was not completely worried.
"Ah," the queen's cry of pain came, and the palace people's pace also quickened. Gu Panfu squeezed the palm of her hand lightly. Although it was not the first time she saw the scene of childbirth, she would still be nervous along with it. Even if it was
In the era of advanced science and technology in previous lives, giving birth was still a hellish hurdle for women.
Wen Po's voice could be heard faintly inside, and Ziyu hurriedly came out, brought some food and hurried in.
Perhaps it was God's blessing that the birth of the third prince went smoothly. The golden crow that was about to fall in the west was still shining brightly outside. The orange-red sunset covered the sky, covering the entire palace with a layer of yellow gauze. This was very important to the ancients.
It is said to be a good sign.
Po Wen came out with the child in her arms: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a healthy prince." Xie Xiao walked up to the child. The third prince's body was still red and he didn't open his eyes. Xie Xiao stretched out his finger to touch it.
The child's soft face showed an obvious smile.
"Okay, okay, okay." He said three good words in a row, "Rewards, there will be rewards for everything."
All the concubines smiled happily and stood up to congratulate: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen."
The queen was lying in the inner room, her head covered with sweat. She only had time to glance at her son, and the third prince took him out to show the emperor. Hearing the congratulations outside, the queen also breathed a sigh of relief and could sleep peacefully.
Already.
"When the third son of the emperor was born, the sky was full of glow, which was a good omen. I named him with the single character "Heng". I hope that the third son of the emperor, "Heng", would be as beautiful as jade." Xie Xiao really valued this legitimate son and named him right away. Moreover,
Not using the character Zhao as the character generation along with other princes, but using a single name, is enough to show the emperor's attention. "Heng" refers to the horizontal jade on the jade, which is rare and precious.
Let’s not talk about the concubines who have children. The precious concubine was the first to lose control of her expression and her eyes suddenly turned red. If she also had children, the emperor would also love their children so much.
Yun Zhaorong didn't react at all. In her opinion, the third prince was his legitimate son. If the emperor was not special, then it would be the emperor's problem. Zhao Meiren stood a little behind, with a warm and joyful smile on her face, even with the one beside her.
The palace maid chatted in a low voice about how the third prince looked very good and looked healthy. However, the hands hidden under the palace clothes were clutching the sleeves tightly, and their nails pinched the silk fabric.
The empress was in Fengyi Palace for her confinement, and the eldest princess visited the palace several times, hugging the third prince without letting go. Gu Panfu followed the etiquette and gave the supplements, without approaching, and waited until the third prince was full moon before congratulating him with gifts.
The emperor had a plan before. When the queen gives birth to a legitimate son, she will be rewarded by the world. Generally speaking, there are three options: reduce taxes, give amnesty to the world, and grant enke. The taxes of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been very low, and there is no way to lower them. As for the general amnesty,
Xie Xiao had already received an amnesty once when he ascended the throne three years ago, and would not consider it again in the short term. Xie Xiao took a red pen and drew a circle on Kai Enke.
"Ming Zhong, it is passed that Taifu Xue, Grand Scholar Liu and the Minister of Rites enter the palace."
The proceedings in Liangyi Palace continued until late at night, and the three ministers were left to have dinner. In fact, due to the emperor's arbitrary actions, the three ministers only passively accepted the emperor's notice, and spent the rest of the time discussing the details and the emperor's stay.
