Summer is getting hotter and hotter, and Wen Xiaotu is too lazy to go out. Princess Jinshu loves beauty so much that she may not have been to the school for a long time. After class every day, she goes straight to Heqing Hall and eats iced fruits with Wen Xiaotu.
, which is quite pleasant.
At this time, Aunt Qiu Sang came in quickly and said, "My dear, Concubine Shu sent a message saying that the fourth princess in the palace has suffered from a stroke."
Cui Cairen’s daughter Jinlan...
"Why are you so careless?" Wen Xiaotu frowned slightly. How could a child who was only a little over one year old get the heat from the heat when so many people were waiting on him?
Aunt Qiu Sang said: "It is said that the fourth princess was naughty and couldn't stay in the house, always crying, so she was taken out. Unexpectedly, she got a stroke."
Wen Xiaotu: Maybe the ancients wore too many clothes?
Wen Xiaotu said: "Instruct the imperial physician in the palace to diagnose and treat the patient well, and also add some extra rules to the fourth princess."
Aunt Qiu Sang came forward and whispered: "Concubine Shu said in her letter that Cui Cairen wants to bring the fourth princess to the garden to escape the summer heat."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. The four princesses suffered from heatstroke... I'm afraid it was the result of Cui's deliberate indulgence, just to come to the garden, and the purpose was naturally His Majesty the Emperor.
Since she entered Fengyi Palace, the emperor has never invited anyone else to visit him, and he has only taken her with him to escape the summer heat. All the concubines, regardless of their status, have been left alone in the palace.
It is expected that some people would feel unwilling to be treated so coldly.
Seeing that his mother-in-law had stopped talking, Qiu Sang said: "The princess is young and should not be tired of traveling and traveling. She is already very virtuous and considerate by giving her more ice rules."
Jin Shu snorted, "Don't pay attention to the queen, who is she?"
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but laugh. This child was becoming more and more arrogant. "Your father's status is destined to have a steady stream of women falling for him."
If she can stop her for a while, can she stop her for the rest of her life?
Then he said to Aunt Qiu Sang: "I have always treated the children of my concubines equally and will not favor anyone in particular. To convey my decree, I asked Lu Xiuyi, Jiang Jieyu and Cui Cairen to pack their bags, and ordered Yongxiang to arrange a ride.
, send them and their children to escape the summer heat."
Qiu Sang was stunned.
Then, within half an hour, His Majesty the Emperor came to Heqing Hall with a dark face.
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought: Sure enough, there is an informant beside me, otherwise how could I have known it so quickly?
Wen Xiaotu didn't want to involve the child, so he said to his daughter: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest first."
Jin Shu took a look at her father's face. Is it really okay if I leave? She blinked.
Wen Xiaotu gave her a smile.
Jin Shu nodded, okay, please take your time to appease your petty father.
Princess Jinshu blessed her health: "My son, please retire."
As soon as his daughter left, Emperor Mingzhao couldn't bear it anymore, "What do you mean?!" - he actually wanted to take over all three concubines at once!
Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to explain to him: "The fourth princess suffered from heat stroke in the palace, so Cui Cairen wanted to come to the garden. I didn't want to favor one over the other, so I asked all the biological mothers of the princes and princesses to come."
Ming Zhao was furious: "Who is she? If she wants to come, you allow her to come?!" - And you also have to add the Lu family and the Jiang family! You are quite virtuous!
Wen Xiaotu was speechless, "Your Majesty, what's the problem if they come? Can they threaten me, or can they seduce you?"
Ming Zhao choked, "Of course I can't be seduced by them!"
Wen Xiaotu slandered: Aren't these three children, the third princess, the fourth princess, and the second prince, proof that the seduction was successful?
Wen Xiaotu immediately smiled: "Since the emperor is Liu Xiahui, what will happen if they are allowed to come? On the contrary, it can show my virtuousness. Why doesn't the emperor fulfill my reputation?"
Alas, since she became the queen, she has always been a favorite, so it is inevitable that there will be some unpleasant rumors, such as jealousy... intolerance.
It's so pitiful that I am truly a virtuous man!
Ming Zhao's anger was reduced by more than half, "Even if you are just doing it for show, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled hurriedly and coaxed: "In the end, it's just a small matter in the harem. Do I, the queen, still have the final say?"
After Ming Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but think, A'tu is my queen, and the queen can indeed have full control over the affairs of the harem. Thinking of this, Ming Zhao was relieved. As long as A'tu didn't want me to go elsewhere
The woman pushed him in his arms, and the rest didn't matter.
Wen Xiaotu immediately added: "What's more, Jinxiu, Jinlan, Jingke's three children are young and really can't stand the heat. Doesn't the emperor care about keeping them in the palace for several months?"
Ming Zhao looked coldly: "What is there to worry about? I have already given Jing Keze a foster mother, and Atu will not treat them harshly. There is also Concubine Shu in the palace to take care of her, so there won't be any big trouble."
Wen Xiaotu said quietly: "But the fourth princess still suffered from heatstroke."
Ming Zhao's eyebrows sank, "Mr. Cui must be unkind. It seems like I should choose another adoptive mother for Jin Lan."
Wen Xiaotu was silent for a moment, "Perhaps Mr. Cui just took advantage of the situation and did not necessarily do it deliberately. Otherwise, why didn't he suffer from heatstroke last year?"
As a mother, she is still unwilling to speculate on another mother with the worst possible malice.
Ming Zhao snorted, "It doesn't hurt to take another look." - Atu is so kind-hearted!
Just like that, just as the days were about to enter the third twilight period, Lu Xiuyi brought the second prince Jing Ke, Jiang Jieyu brought the third princess Jinxiu, and Cui Cairen brought the fourth princess Jinlan to the Summer Palace.
Wen Xiaotu had already ordered people to clean out three palaces. Lu Xiuyi lived in Qingliang Hall, Jiang Jieyu lived in Yilan Hall, and Cui Cairen lived in Shuiyue Pavilion. Qingliang Hall was next to Shengping Hall where Concubine Xin Ruozhi once lived, and it was a short distance away.
Her Heqing Palace is also close, while Yilan Pavilion and Shuiyue Pavilion are relatively remote, but they are both cool palaces close to mountains and rivers, which are very suitable for summer vacation.
The three concubines took a moment to settle down and then rushed to Heqing Hall to greet them and express their gratitude.
Lu Xiuyi brought her adopted son Jing Ke, Jiang Jieyu brought the third princess Jinxiu, who was in charge of Fan Tuantuan, but Cui Caieren... did not bring the fourth princess.
Jing Ke was young and was held by her wet nurse to greet her. The third princess was already able to follow her birth mother in a polite manner and greet her. She was very well-behaved.
Cui Cairen is the youngest concubine in the harem now, but she is also pregnant. However, she is well-maintained and looks like she is only in her early twenties. She is still young, but compared to Wen Xiaotu, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old,
After all, it's not delicate enough.
Everyone bowed, and Cui Cairen hurriedly explained carefully: "My concubine's fourth princess has been in poor spirits these days, so I left her in Shuiyue Pavilion. When the princess recovers, I will definitely bring her to you to pay your respects.
"
Wen Xiaotu only said lightly: "The princess is delicate, and it is important to take good care of her body. I hope Cui Cairen will take good care of the fourth princess in the future and don't make any mistakes again." - Otherwise, your child will not be saved. This is Wen Xiaotu
Advice to Ms. Cui.
Mrs. Cui didn't know whether she understood or not, so she just said "yes" quickly, looking very docile.
Wen Xiaotu added: "There are no more rules in the garden than in the palace. It's hot these days, so there's no need to come here often to say hello. You guys should take good care of the children under your knees and just escape the heat."
Lu Xiuyi, Jiang Jieyu and Cui Cairen quickly knelt down and said "yes".
