Qi Kuan suppressed his smile and said, "I don't know about this servant, but I sent it to you personally. Lu Guiren should drink some even if he doesn't want to."
"The Lu family is more shallow than the Gao family, and their status is not high. If you really want to go against the Su family, the only one who will suffer is yourself." After saying this, Xianyue motioned to A Luo to help her up, and carefully checked whether
After making any mistakes, he went to Cining Palace to pay his respects. When he got there, Mingyu was already there. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and nodded. Fucha and Gao stood under her.
Xianyue bowed to Ling Ruo, who was sitting at the top, and said solemnly, "I respectfully wish the emperor a healthy body, long life, and a thousand years of life!"
Ling Ruo raised her hand and said: "Sit down." After Xianyue straightened up, Shui Xiu handed Xianyue a brocade bag embroidered with a pattern of longevity and longevity in red. Mingyu and the others also had one in their hands, which should be Ling Ruoshang's.
After Xianyue stepped aside, Su family, Jin family and others also came in to salute Ling Ruo and say hello to the first person in the new year.
After walking out of Cining Palace, Xianyue heard a voice that was neither yin nor yang, "Empress, I heard that the emperor is going to the Yangxin Palace from Yanxi Palace today. I remember that on New Year's Eve,
Shouldn't the Emperor rest in the Empress' Palace? Why did he go to Yanxi Palace?"
The person who spoke was Mrs. Fucha, with unconcealable jealousy in her eyes. Mingyu listened to her words and said casually: "I rested early last night. Your Majesty was not sleepy, so he went to sit with Concubine Xian and stopped by.
Resting in Yanxi Palace, there is nothing strange about it."
Mrs. Fucha glanced at Xianyue and said, "But this is inconsistent with the palace rules. If the concubine is Concubine Xian, she will definitely persuade the emperor to return to Kunning Palace."
Mrs. Gao supported from the side and said: "Yes, I also think this is not good. What Concubine Xian did is inappropriate."
When Mingyu was thinking about what to say, Xianyue had already said: "What the two sisters said is true, but I also advised the emperor last night, but the emperor was afraid that returning to Kunning Palace would disturb the queen, so he
Rest in Yanxi Palace."
When Mrs. Fucha was about to say more, Mingyu already said: "Okay, this is not a big deal. There is no need to say more. Let's hurry over. I got up early this morning and made some dumplings. In addition to presenting them to the Queen and the Emperor,
There is a lot left, so let’s try them all.”
Seeing what she said, Mrs. Fucha had no choice but to swallow her words and went all the way to Kunning Palace. After bowing and saying hello, Mingyu asked someone to bring the cooked dumplings. The skin was tough and the meat was fragrant, and the taste was very good.
However, few people paid attention to the dumplings, and everyone was thinking about Hongli's rest at Yanxi Palace last night. Although Mingyu asked them not to say more, they didn't think about it in their hearts, and they were jealous and envious of Xianyue.
At the same time, Hongli accepted the obeisances of hundreds of officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven. He was busy until after noon, and then he got some free time and sat in a chair with his eyes closed.
Sixi came in with a bowl of dumplings and said: "Your Majesty, this is what the Queen ordered to bring in the morning. You can eat some to satisfy your hunger. I see that you didn't eat anything when you held a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony just now."
Hongli nodded, took the dumplings he handed over, and started eating them with vinegar. Unexpectedly, after eating a few, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and then felt a dull pain, as if there was a fire burning. He immediately ordered Sixi to go.
Invite the imperial doctor to come.
Soon, Song Zihua, who came in a hurry, followed Sixi into the Nourishing Heart Hall. After diagnosing Hongli's pulse, he said that it was because he drank too much wine before, which made his stomach uncomfortable. He should take some warming medicine.
Just be careful with your drinking these days and it won't be a serious problem.
Song Zihua was about to go down to prescribe medicine. Hongli, who was feeling better, called him, pondered for a while, and said, "Before, you said that Concubine Xian might... be unable to have any more children. Is that true?"
Song Zihua lowered his head and said: "I don't dare to say for sure, but Concubine Xian has been smelling musk for many years. Over the years, her body has been damaged by musk. Even if she doesn't smell it from now on, the possibility of her having a baby is extremely slim."
A trace of pain flashed across Hongli's eyes, and he asked with a little eagerness: "What about those medicines of yours? If I stop breathing musk from now on, is it possible to recover?"
Song Zihua said: "The medicine prescribed by Weichen can indeed regulate the body, but musk hurts the body, which is an extremely serious situation. I am afraid that Weichen's medicine will not have much effect. Weichen has told the emperor before
Passed." He didn't understand why Hongli wanted to talk about this again, since he had already said it before; but he didn't ask too much. In this palace, the less you know, the safer it is.
"I understand, you go down. Remember, don't mention a word of these words in front of Concubine Xian, otherwise you will raise your head to see me!"
After Song Zihua went down, Hongli looked up at the colored seals on the beam and sighed heavily.
On that day, after he learned that Song Zihua had diagnosed Xianyue's pulse, he secretly summoned Song Zihua to see him and inquired about Xiayue's body in detail. Song Zihua told him that he suspected that Xianyue had musk invading her body, but because he was not completely sure,
So he never told Xianyue and only prescribed some medicine for her to take. But Song Zihua also said that these medicines would not have much effect. It was precisely because of this that he did not do anything to stop her at that time.
Back then, after he brought down Yingge with the help of Xianyue, although he fulfilled his promise, he was always wary of Xianyue and was on guard at all times. From the dormitory to the harem, he never relaxed. Even in order to prevent her from giving birth to a child.
She used all means to fight for the throne of the crown prince, and the rouge she used was mixed with musk, which made her have no success for many years.
Over the years, he has always thought that what he did was right and that he would never regret it. But yesterday, he ordered Song Zihua, who was secretly watching Xianyue, to tell him that Xianyue saved Yonglian regardless of danger and investigated
When it turned out that the person who poisoned Yonglian with cat claws might be Gao, his heart was shaken for the first time - was it really right to do that in the first place?
The family dinner last night was the second time. He noticed that the way Xianyue looked at Yonglian showed no hypocrisy or cover-up, only tenderness and care.
At this moment, he believed that Xianyue was different from before. She sincerely treated Yonglian well, just like he and Mingyu, who sincerely loved this child.
So, last night, he stayed at Yanxi Palace; so, last night, he told Xianyue not to use Yan Shuangfei's rouge again.
He wanted to return the fairness he owed to Xianyue to her, but everything... was already too late. These six years may have destroyed Xianyue's right to be a mother for the rest of her life.
If time could go back and everything could start over, he would never use musk on Xianyue again, but everything would only be what if...
The only thing he can do is to try his best to make up for Xianyue in the days to come. If the imperial concubine is not enough, he will use the imperial concubine to make up for it!
