After her, A Luo and other palace people also knelt down and saluted. Hongli came back to his senses and was very happy. He clapped his hands and said: "Good! That's good!" After that, he said to Si Xi: "Pass the order immediately, Shu.
The cost of the concubines is based on the system of the four concubines, and as for Hu Guiren, it is based on the concubine system; in addition, if there is any shortage, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must send it immediately, and there must be no mistake."
"I obey the order." After Si Xi agreed, Hongli stood up and was about to leave. A trace of sadness flashed across Xia Yue's eyes, but he did not say anything. He just bowed and said, "I respectfully send you off to the Emperor."
Xianyue's voice did not reveal any dissatisfaction or sadness, but it made Hongli stop. After thinking for a moment, he said again: "Sixi, send the high-quality ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum sent from Korea to Shu.
The two concubines are together, and the others will be taken separately.
A wishful pair, a bunch of pearls, for pregnancy. As for you two..." His eyes swept over Chuntao and Qiuju, and said: "Go back and report to your master, tell them it's getting late, and let them rest early.
, I will go see them tomorrow."
His words made Chuntao and Chuntao very strange. Hongli had clearly planned to go there just now, but why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye?
But it was strange, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they retreated as they were told. After the other palace people also retreated one after another, Xianyue asked doubtfully: "Why doesn't the emperor go to see the two sisters?"
"Which palace rule states that I must go there?" Before Xianyue could speak, he hugged her and whispered in her ear: "I just want to accompany you now, my royal concubine.
" Without waiting for Xianyue to say anything, he tightened his hands and said: "Xiangyue, don't be unhappy. No matter whether you have children or not, I will love you the same. As for them, even if they have ten or eight children, they will not be able to get over it.
you."
Hearing these words, Xianyue could not understand that Hongli was afraid that she would be sad, so he stayed. She endured the emotion in her heart and said: "What ten or eight, the emperor said it like a piglet?"
Like, besides, no one is so good at giving birth."
Hongli laughed loudly and said: "How do you know? There are so many wonders in the world. Maybe someone really gave birth to ten or eight children!"
Xianyue laughed at what he said, and immediately pushed Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, please go quickly. I am fine."
Hongli shook his head and said: "I have already given the decree and can no longer say it. Do you want me to make a mistake?"
"You are obviously cheating!" Xianyue shook her head and said, but her eyes were full of joyful smiles. In fact, she was not willing to let Hongli leave. But in her position, she couldn't follow her own joys and sorrows in everything.
Acting; the position of imperial concubine is an honor, but it is not a shackle, imprisoning her happiness, anger, sorrow and joy everywhere; but for Hongli, she is willing to do it.
"It doesn't matter whether you cheat or not, but tonight..." He pressed a lingering kiss on Xianyue's lips, his eyes as gentle as spring water, "I only belong to you."
Xianyue didn't say anything, she just stood up on tiptoes to meet his lips, making them inseparable...
While Yanxi Palace was as warm as spring, it was even colder in Jingren Palace than in the coldest winter for the last nine months. The palace residents stood with their heads bowed, not even daring to breathe.
Yehenara's face was gloomy and he said: "Did the emperor really say that?"
Chuntao lowered his head and said: "Yes, the emperor said, see you tomorrow..." Before she could finish her words, Yehenala slapped her palm on the small table made of rosewood and said in a cold voice: "It's the emperor."
What does the imperial concubine mean?"
"No, the imperial concubine didn't say anything at that time." After saying this, Chuntao said with relief: "Actually, the emperor still cares about the master very much. No, as soon as he knew that the master was pregnant, he immediately sent an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send your
The fee was changed to the same as that of the fourth concubine, and I also gave you Ruyi and a pearl to help you with the pregnancy."
"Care?" Yehenala sneered: "If you really care, you won't stop coming to see me. What the emperor cares about most is the imperial concubine. Even if I am pregnant with a dragon seed, she is still far behind.
After a pause, she said: "Does Hu Guiren know about this?"
Chuntao said truthfully: "Qiu Ju was there at that time, Hu Guiren should have known about it."
Yehenala didn't say anything more, only said: "I am tired, please change my clothes and freshen up for me."
The next day, the news that Yehenala and Hu were pregnant with a dragon child soon became known. Along with it, the news that Hongli stayed at the Yanxi Palace last night and did not visit the two of them was spread.
They are all gloating and secretly sarcastic.
In this palace, when the status is equal and the favor is equal, everything is easy to talk about. Once it gets past the past, especially when you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, the so-called sisterly love will come to an end and will be replaced by jealousy; in fact, it is more than just that.
This is the palace, as is the case with any place where there are many women.
The relationship between Hu Guiren and Xianyue has always been good. She didn't think much about the words that came to her ears. However, Yehenala didn't have as good a mentality as her. The fact that Hongli didn't come in time already made her angry.
A moderate fever, coupled with other people's gossip, overt and understated ridicule, makes my mood even worse.
"Master, you can't be angry now. The imperial doctor said that the dragon fetus is the most delicate in the first three months. What will happen if something goes wrong?"
Yehenala said impatiently: "I know what I know, you don't need to say anything, just step back."
Chuntao was about to retreat when a sweet voice suddenly came from behind her, "It's a joyful thing for my sister to be pregnant with a dragon fetus. Why do you look so angry? Who messed with you?"
Yehenala was slightly startled and looked out, only to see Concubine Yu walking in slowly. She quickly signaled to Chuntao to help her stand up and greet her. Just as she was about to bend her knees and salute, Concubine Yu supported her and said warmly: "Shu
Concubine is pregnant with Liujia now, so there is no need to be formal."
Despite Concubine Yu's words, Yehenara still insisted on saluting, and then said: "It's so cold outside, why did the empress come here?"
Concubine Yu took her to sit down together and said: "There is such a big happy event in the palace, how can I not come to congratulate you in person? Speaking of which, it has been several years since my sister and Hu Guiren entered the palace, and now she is pregnant."
The dragon is born. After a while, there will be two more crying children in the palace. It will be very lively by then. I really think
I'm happy to think about it." After saying that, she glanced at Dongmei, who knowingly called two palace attendants to come up. They both held brocade boxes in their hands. After opening them, they all contained some nourishing treasures, including snow clams.
Bird's nests and other items, Concubine Yu said with a smile: "These things are for my sister to replenish her health. My sister must accept them."
"Such a precious gift, I really appreciate it..." Before Yehenala could finish her words, Concubine Yu said: "Sisters, why do you and I need to say such unconventional words? Besides, you are giving birth to an heir.
I owe you to the royal family and the Qing Dynasty. Isn’t it right for me to send you something? If you are more polite, you won’t treat me as a sister.”
