"For a while, I saw you standing in front of the window in a daze, so I kindly took a silver fox cloak and covered it with you. Unexpectedly, I was scolded by you instead." Hongli said with a half-smile: "In the whole world, except for
Your Majesty, you are the only one who dares to scold me."
Xianyue's cheeks were slightly red and she said: "No one asked the emperor to come in without making a sound. I thought it was A Luo and the others."
Hongli smiled, stroked her black hair hanging behind her back, and said, "What were you thinking about just now? I see that you seem to be uneasy."
Xianyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she said casually: "Nothing, my concubine... I'm just admiring the moon."
"Moon viewing?" Hongli glanced out the window and said, "Why didn't I see the moon tonight?"
"Concubine..." Before Xianyue could think of what to say, Hongli already said: "Is it because of me?" Seeing Xianyue lowering her head and saying nothing, Hongli stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and said seriously: "I
I also wanted to come here earlier, but unfortunately there are a lot of papers presented today, so I have to keep reviewing them until now."
Facing his explanation, Xianyue felt a little moved in her heart. In fact, Hongli didn't need to explain this kind of thing to her at all, because it was his freedom to decide which concubine he would like or where to stay, not to mention her.
Even when Mingyu was alive, he was not qualified to intervene.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Hongli said warmly: "What's wrong? Your anger hasn't gone away yet?"
"No." Xianyue bit her lip, raised her head and said, "Concubine...can I ask you something?"
Hongli nodded and said, "Of course it's okay, what's the matter?"
"You..." Xianyue struggled for a long time and finally asked, "Do you favor Wei Jingxuan?"
Hongli stiffened and slowly let go of Xianyue's hand, "Where did you hear this? Or are you secretly checking me out?"
Seeing that Xianyue didn't speak, he looked cold and said in a cold voice: "Xiangyue, you are so brave. You dare to check me. Who gave you the power?"
Facing his scolding, Xianyue lowered her eyes and said: "I don't dare, but I haven't seen the emperor's sisters before, so I'm a little worried, so..."
Hongli interrupted her sharply: "So you can investigate me unscrupulously? Xianyue, if you tell me the truth, are you worried about me or yourself?"
Xianyue looked at Hongli in astonishment. Of course she understood the meaning of Hongli's words, but she didn't expect that he would think of her like this, "The emperor thought that the concubine was worried that his favor would be lost and his status would be shaken, so he did this."
Do that?”
Hongli angrily rolled his sleeves and said coldly: "You know it in your heart."
"I don't know!" Xianyue said excitedly: "Yes, the imperial concubine's position is very good and she is high up. All the concubines will bow to me when they see me, but I am not greedy for this; in my heart, I
What matters most is never these lofty positions, but the emperor. If you leave
After becoming the emperor, no matter how high the position is, it has no meaning for the concubine!" She took a breath and continued: "You have not told the concubine to sleep with you for many days, and you have not recorded it in the honorary room. This has never been done before.
Yes, I was worried about you, so I asked Qi Kuan to investigate, but you ended up doubting my intentions?"
In fact, Hongli regretted it as early as when he said that sentence. Now that he heard Xianyue's words, he felt even more regretful. He wanted to hold Xianyue's hand, but she avoided him.
He was angry with himself, and sighed softly and said: "It's my fault. I was angry for a moment, so I said it more harshly. Your
How could I not know what I was thinking?" Seeing that Xianyue didn't speak, he admitted: "Yes, I favored Wei Jingxuan, but I didn't mean to do so, but I was drunk for a while, and later..." Hongli did not continue.
, I was always a little shy about saying that kind of thing, so I turned around and said: "What's wrong? You still haven't calmed down?"
Xianyue turned away and said angrily: "How dare I, my concubine, be angry with the emperor?"
Seeing her like this, Hongli shook his head funny, pulled her to the mercury mirror and said: "See for yourself, your face is red with anger, but you still say you are not angry?!" Seeing Xia Yue's silence, Hongli said again:
"Is it possible that you have to pour tea to you and admit your mistake before you forgive me?"
"The emperor's tea should be poured to the emperor's mother." After saying this, a smile finally appeared on Xianyue's face. Seeing that she finally showed her face, Hongli also laughed and said: "Aluo said you haven't yet
For dinner, can I accompany you to the side hall for dinner?"
Xianyue nodded, and then said tentatively: "Your Majesty...do you really value Wei Jingxuan? Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, why would you favor her again and again?" After Xianyue nodded, Hongli sighed and said, "I don't know how to explain it to you. In short, you believe me. I have no feelings for her, and I won't let her.
She left the dragon seed behind, not to mention giving her status, she will always be just a palace maid."
"But will Wei Jingxuan be willing?" Facing Xia Yue's question, Hongli's smile remained the same, but it was much colder than before, "Whether she is willing or not, it is the same."
Seeing what he said, Xianyue stopped asking any more questions and went to the side hall hand in hand with him. As soon as he sat down, a palace official came in and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Master, Chuntao from Jingren Palace is outside asking for an audience."
, saying that I have something important to report to the emperor."
Hongli frowned slightly and said, "Send her to come in."
After a while, Chuntao walked in with her head lowered. After she bowed, Xianyue asked with concern: "But what's the matter with Concubine Shu?"
Chuntao said with a smile on her face: "Replying to your Majesty, my master often feels nauseous these days. Just when he had a meal with Hu Guiren, he felt nauseated again. He sent the imperial doctor to see him. The imperial doctor said that he had something in his belly.
After giving birth to a dragon fetus, the master ordered the servants to come over quickly and tell the emperor the good news."
Hearing this, Hongli was greatly surprised and said quickly: "Is it true?"
"How dare I deceive the emperor and the empress? The imperial doctor said that the dragon fetus is already more than a month old." As soon as Chuntao finished speaking, another palace official came in, saying that it was Qiu Ju from Li Jingxuan who wanted to see her.
Xianyue joked: "Could it be that Qiu Ju came here to tell the emperor that Hu Guiren is pregnant?"
"What a coincidence." Hongli said with a smile and ordered the palace servants to bring Qiu Ju in. After the latter entered, he bent down and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, after the imperial physician asked for the pulse of Empress Shu Bin.
, the master remembered that she was also feeling a little unwell these days, so he took this opportunity to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse, only to find out that she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, just like Concubine Shu."
Hongli was shocked. He didn't expect that Xianyue's joke just now meant that Concubine Shu and Mrs. Hu were pregnant at the same time.
Xianyue was the first to react, stood up and saluted Hongli and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Shu and Hu Guiren are pregnant with the emperor's heir. It seems that there will be two more little brothers in the palace soon. Unexpectedly, just passed
It is really gratifying and congratulatory to have such a happy event not long after the end of the year."
