Concubine Yu said with some pity: "It seems that I really can't borrow her hand, otherwise this scene will be very beautiful and exciting."
Xiao Quanzi hesitated and said: "Master, Concubine Xian is unwilling to take action, and Concubine Jin is acting like that. Do you really want to wait until the queen gives birth to the child?"
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that if she really gives birth to an elder brother, it will threaten Yongqi's status?"
"Yes, although Jin Bin has bad intentions, her words are not wrong. Once the queen gives birth to a dragon son, the emperor will most likely make her the crown prince."
Before Xiao Quanzi finished speaking, Concubine Yu said coldly: "No, no one can touch Yongqi's position as crown prince. I was able to except Yonglian back then, and I can do the same this time."
At that time, in the Yanxi Palace, Zhichun hurriedly entered with Zhou Quan. After the latter saluted Xianyue who was reading the brochure, he said: "Your Majesty, you are so anxious to send this servant here, what are your orders?"
Xianyue coughed a few times and said, "I read your brochure, why are there only two boxes of snow clams sent to Yonghe Palace?"
Hearing what was going on, Zhou Quan said quickly: "When I return to the empress, in addition to sending them to Yangxin Palace and Cining Palace, there are only twelve boxes of snow clams left, five boxes are sent to Kunning Palace, and three boxes are sent to Kunning Palace.
The empress has one box each for Concubine Yu and Concubine Yi, so there are only two boxes that can be sent to Yonghe Palace."
Xianyue pondered for a moment and said: "Jin Bin is pregnant with a dragon fetus now. Don't treat her poorly. Take a box from me and give it to her."
Zhichun couldn't help but said: "Master, when she harmed you and Concubine Yi like that, you still treat her favorably no matter what. If you want to slave me, I shouldn't even give you a box."
"You girl." Xianyue scolded lightly and said: "I am in charge of the Sixth Palace. The most important thing is fairness. How can you do it according to your own preferences? Okay, hurry up and get the snow clam to Zhou Quan.
"
Zhichun responded helplessly. When he took out the snow clams from the warehouse, he happened to meet Qi Kuan. The latter saw her sullen face and joked: "What's going on? Who messed with you?"
Zhichun said angrily: "No one messes with me, it's me who has trouble with myself."
"What's going on?" As she said this, Qi Kuan saw the snow clams in her hand and said in surprise: "When I went to the small kitchen just now, I saw that there was still more than half of the box of snow clams, why did I have to open it again?"
Zhichun recounted what had just happened and said bitterly: "The Queen and Jin Bin did such harm to others, yet they could still conceive a dragon fetus. On the contrary, the master has been silent for a long time. It is really unfair."
Speaking of this, Qi Kuan also felt depressed, shook his head and said: "Oh, it's unfair, but we can't do anything." After a pause, he said: "Stop talking about this, just take the snow clam in quickly.
Don't keep the master waiting for too long, and remember not to mention these things in front of the master, so as not to make the master sad."
Zhichun nodded and went in with the snow clam. Xianyue was instructing Zhou Quan, coughing as he spoke. After Zhou Quan took the snow clam and went down, A Luoqie said: "Master, you have been coughing a lot recently. It's better to tell Imperial Physician Song
Come and see.”
Xianyue smiled and said: "It's just a cough. It doesn't matter. I still have many things to deal with."
A Luo said distressedly: "No matter how busy or tired you are, you still have to take care of your body. What if you get exhausted?"
"I'm fine." When she said this, she remembered something and said, "Aluo, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask Guangdong and Fujian if there are any lychees delivered. I forgot to ask Zhou Quan just now.
.”
A Luo said in surprise: "Master, do you want to eat lychees? I remember that you never like eating this kind of food."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "It's not me, it's the Queen who mentioned that she wanted to eat lychees before, but at that time the lychees from Guangdong and Fujian had not been sent yet. If there are any this time, let them send them to Kunning Palace first."
Zhichun couldn't hold it back and said: "As for the queen, the master has such a hard time remembering what to do. If she wants to eat, let her go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to urge her."
"Don't talk nonsense." A Luo scolded Zhichun lightly, and then said respectfully: "Master, I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs now. Please rest for a while."
After A Luo left, Xianyue continued to look at the book in her hand. After looking at it for a while, a drop of water fell on the book and melted the ink on the paper...
"Master." A Luo's voice suddenly reached Xianyue's ears. The latter quickly stroked his face, raised his head and said in surprise: "Why are you back so soon?"
A Luo took her actions and the moisture in the book into his eyes and said: "As soon as I went out, I met someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They said that the lychees had just been delivered this morning, and the emperor ordered them to send them outside Kunning Palace.
I specifically asked you to send some to us, but I knew the master didn’t like it, so I asked him to take it to the kitchen.”
Xianyue smiled solemnly and said: "Your Majesty is determined. Lychees cannot be stored for a long time. Zhichun, give half of it to Concubine Yi. You can share the rest among the rest."
Zhichun responded, and when Huang learned that this was the lychee sent by Hongli to Xianyue, she sighed: "Although the emperor has affection for the imperial concubine, he has no choice but to be a little shallow. The imperial concubine doesn't like to eat this thing and he doesn't know."
"
Zhichun wrinkled his nose and said: "At this moment, the emperor only has the empress in mind. The empress loves to eat lychees. The emperor may think that everyone in the palace likes to eat them."
Huang shook her head and said, "Remember, don't say these words in front of your mistress, lest she feel sad." After learning that Chun nodded, she added, "When I went there last time, I saw your mistress coughing.
, is it better?"
"It's still the same. Just now A'luo said that he wanted to invite Dr. Song to come and see him, but the master refused, saying that it was nothing serious." Zhichun said angrily: "Since Jin Bin and the empress became pregnant, the master has been very busy, plus the next one
I have a draft again this month, and I am extremely busy. Sometimes I am so busy that I don’t even have time to eat.”
Huang said: "No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself. You can go back and persuade your mistress. I will go see her tomorrow."
That night, Xianyue had been coughing since dinner, and her voice became hoarse. Aluo saw that something was wrong, and repeatedly persuaded Zhichun, and finally persuaded Xianyue to send Song Zihua to come for diagnosis and treatment.
Qi Kuan was about to go to the Imperial Hospital when he unexpectedly saw a group of people approaching. He quickly knelt down and said, "This slave is paying your respects to the Emperor. Good luck to the Emperor!"
Xianyue was startled by Qi Kuan's words. She looked up and saw Hongli coming in with Si Xi and the others. She quickly stood up to greet them. Just as she was about to speak, her throat felt itchy and a series of coughs broke out.
Hongli pulled her to sit down and asked with concern: "Why do you cough so badly? Has the imperial doctor seen it?"
Qi Kuan said from the side: "When I return to the emperor, my master has been coughing for several days, and I am preparing to go to the imperial doctor."
Hongli nodded slightly, ordered him to go quickly, and then said to Xianyue: "Since I had a cough a few days ago, why did I just call the imperial doctor now?"
