Chapter 177 The Imperial Concubine (Happy Valentine’s Day! More updates are coming!)
"Congratulations to the imperial concubine, congratulations to the imperial concubine!" The maids and eunuchs of Changyi Palace knelt down on the floor, as if rehearsing in advance, and congratulated each other.
Wen Xiaotu was holding the yellow silk in his hand and was still a little stunned. He was stunned for a while and then said: "You must be loyal and dedicated these days. Everyone in Changyi Palace will be rewarded with three months' salary!"
With her current savings, she can afford such a bonus, but it still hurts...
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but reflect: Am I a bit stingy?
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor arrived.
I haven’t seen him for a month, and I feel that the emperor has become a bit paler again, and his face is much more handsome! The emperor is wearing a refreshing jade blue robe with a dark pattern, a round collar, a black gauze on his head, and a jade belt around his waist.
She has a slender waist and long legs, and is as handsome as the wind. Just looking at this appearance, it is almost difficult to imagine that after taking off her clothes, she is covered in tendons.
This is called wearing clothes to look thin and taking off clothes to look fat.
"Greetings to the Emperor!" Wen Xiaotu saluted gracefully.
Ming Zhao helped the person in front of him up. The familiar face was heavily smeared with makeup. Although his complexion could not be seen, his face was clearly smaller. Ming Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "The imperial concubine has lost weight."
Wen Xiaotu was quite happy. In the late pregnancy, she was afraid of premature birth and could hardly move. Her whole body became rounder and even her double chin appeared. Although she ate a lot during the confinement period, not only did she not gain weight, but she also became fatter.
Much lighter.
Ming Zhao waved his hand, stepped back, then took the little hand and went to sit on the Nuange couch together.
"The emperor did not tell me in advance, but suddenly issued an order." Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but said as soon as he sat down.
Ming Zhao smiled and said: "Didn't I give you a verbal instruction early in the morning and ask you to pay for the concubine position?" - Isn't this obvious enough?
Wen Xiaotu said with a smile: "I am not surprised to be concubine, but the noble concubine... is the first of the six concubines." As he said, Wen Xiaotu whispered: "Isn't it better to be a virtuous concubine?
In terms of family background, family background, qualifications and talents, Xin Ruozhi is the most suitable candidate.
When mentioning Concubine Xian, Ming Zhao curled his lips in disgust and said without hesitation: "She is not suitable!"
Ming Zhao stroked Rou Yi, who was slightly cold in his hand, "I originally reserved this seat for Tu Tu."
Wen Xiaotu blacked out for a moment, "Your Majesty, how did you know?!" - You have to monitor me during confinement? Who the hell leaked the secret? Liang Wankuan? Oh no, it should be Chunxi! Sit down
During the confinement period, it is not advisable to have too many people coming in and out. Liang Wanguan did not enter the confinement room.
I’m so idle! What’s the point of reporting this kind of thing?
Ming Zhao couldn't help but laugh, "You lied before and said your nickname was Atu."
Wen Xiaotu said with a dark face: "I didn't lie!"
Ming Zhao was startled and then understood, "Is that your nickname in your previous life?"
Wen Xiaotu said "hmm" and said, "My grandmother always called me that in my previous life."
Ming Zhao was slightly surprised. In the past, A Tu was always silent when talking about the previous life. This time... A Tu has changed from the past. Does this mean that A Tu is no longer as guarded against me as before? Ming Zhao Xin
I am very happy. Is this the benefit of having a child?
In fact, this is really the emperor's overthinking. Wen Xiaotu is no longer like a sawed-off gourd like before. It is purely because she is not so afraid of death! Death only means that this body is dead, and she can still do it.
Back to modern times!
When people have a way out, they become more courageous.
Wen Xiaotu said: "Your Majesty, don't call me 'Tu Tu', it sounds very childish."
Ming Zhao smiled and stroked A Tu's pearly temples, which seemed to be thinner than before. He nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"A'tu must have been bored this whole month. When I asked Xu Yiren to enter the palace, I originally planned to let her accompany you, but I didn't expect to leave so soon." Ming Zhao also understood Xu Yiren's concerns, but in this way
As a result, Atu spent most of the month very hard and depressed. Thinking of this, Mingzhao felt heartbroken.
Wen Xiaotu said very wisely: "My mother staying in Changyi Palace for seven days is already an exception. I am very contented."
Ming Zhao smiled slightly: "When the weather gets warmer in a few days, I will take you to the palace to soak in the hot springs."
Wen Xiaotu was overjoyed. The emperor had promised to take her to that Qingliang Mountain Palace to escape the summer heat after she gave birth. Is it finally going to be fulfilled now?
Suddenly, Wen Xiaotu said: "But the two children are still young, and the journey will be tiring..." After all, the means of transportation in this era are not comparable to modern ones...
Ming Zhao smiled and said: "You can send it to the Yi Nian Palace and let the Queen Mother take care of it for a few days."
Wen Xiaotu: This... the parents went on a trip and left the baby with grandma?! It's... not very good, right?
Wen Xiaotu was a little reluctant to part with it, but then he thought that if he took a dip in the hot spring and would be back in a few days, he should not worry about it and mainly relied on the wet nurses to take care of the children. She was actually not important.
"The Queen Mother...will you agree?" Wen Xiaotu asked softly.
Ming Zhao couldn't help but laugh, "The Queen Mother wishes she could raise her herself!"
Wen Xiaotu became even more nervous after hearing this, "I came back from the hot spring palace, will the queen mother take the child away and not return it?" - A mother-in-law in this era, not to mention the concubine's child, is serious.
If a daughter-in-law gives birth to a baby, she can take it away as soon as she is told. If she dares to say "no", just wait for the label of "unfilial" to be slapped on her!
Ming Zhao said: "Don't worry, I won't let your mother and son separate."
Wen Xiaotu breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was always tough and no one could change the things he decided.
Wen Xiaotu said with a smile: "I am not worried about the Queen Mother. I believe that the Queen Mother, a grandmother, loves her grandson as much as I do as a mother. It's just that the child is still young. If I don't see her for a day, I will really have trouble sleeping and eating."
"
How could Mingzhao not know how much Atu cared about these two children? Mingzhao was so afraid of suffering, yet he carried his belly until full term. He would rather take more risks than let his children take the slightest risk of premature birth.
The importance of these two children in Atu's heart is probably greater than mine.
Thinking of this, Ming Zhao felt a little sour in his heart. It was clear that these two brats had caused A Tu so much suffering and almost lost his life, but they were loved and cared for by A Tu wholeheartedly.
Wen Xiaotu suddenly said again: "Your Majesty, I know that I want you to choose the prince's name. Can I let you decide the princess's name?"
Ming Zhao hurriedly forced out a smile: "If Atu likes it, you can take it all."
Wen Xiaotu: Well, why do you feel that the emperor doesn’t like this son very much?
"My concubine is very talented and has little knowledge. It's better for the emperor to take care of her." Wen Xiaotu reluctantly declined. If the prince couldn't be named by his father, it would be seen by others as not paying enough attention to him.
With that said, Wen Xiaotu hurriedly ordered the wet nurse to bring the twins to pay their respects.
