Gradually everything in Beijing returned to normal. King Qi officially took up the post of governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, while Prince Huai's sixth son could no longer live an easy life, so he took the position of the seventh old man and became the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Before Hong Lie's rebellion, the imperial court had already undergone a major blood change and promoted many new people with ideals. Yu Wenhao was convinced that these newly promoted people would bring a vibrant scene to the Northern Tang Dynasty.
After he left Jingzhao Mansion, the East Palace Small Court was formally established, and he still served as Minister of War, in charge of military power.
There is news coming back from the border, and Bei Mo is ready to make a move, but Bei Tang is ready. If Bei Mo dares to invade the border, they will attack them head-on.
A few days ago, Yu Wenhao sent a letter to the Great Zhou Dynasty. General Chen Jingting of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally escorted a batch of chariots and weapons to the border to hand over to the King of Wei.
At the same time, General Hu rushed to Southern Xinjiang to help King Shun and the King of Southern Xinjiang quell the civil strife and unify Southern Xinjiang, which was just around the corner.
After King An recovered from his injury, he asked for an order to leave the capital. Before leaving the capital, Princess An held a banquet at Prince An's Mansion and invited everyone to gather at the mansion. It was inevitable that they would feel sad about parting, but fortunately, her mind was calm, so we could meet again later.
Princess Jinghe did not leave, but she did not live in the Cui family either. Instead, she bought another house, bought two maids, and lived alone.
Good news came from the palace: Concubine Hu was pregnant.
Emperor Ming Yuan was extremely happy. He always thought that Xiao Laoshi was the last child, but he never thought that Concubine Hu could give him another child.
Emperor Ming Yuan was also very nervous about Concubine Hu's pregnancy, so he asked his daughter-in-law Yuan Qing to come to the palace to visit Concubine Hu when she had time.
Yuan Qingling will naturally come if there is news, after all it is a great event.
Concubine Hu's fetal image was very stable. The imperial doctor said that it might be another boy. Concubine Hu was very melancholy. She told Yuan Qingling that she hoped to have a daughter because she was considerate. Looking at the birth of Princess Qi and Princess An in the palace
Sister, she is so envious.
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "You really can't force this. The fate given by God, whether it is a son or a daughter, it is always yours."
Concubine Hu thought about it, but in the end she still hoped to be a daughter, and even hung many pictures of ladies in the house, saying that this would work.
After talking to Concubine Hu for a while, someone from the Imperial Concubine's palace came to say that the Imperial Concubine had been feeling unwell recently and was always dizzy, so she asked the Crown Princess to go and have a look.
The imperial concubine was not in good health in the early years, and she recovered from her illness by taking the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by Grandma Yuan in the past two or three years. Now that autumn and winter are transitioning, she may get sick easily if she is not careful.
Yuan Qingling then went over. The imperial concubine was lying sickly on the imperial concubine's chair, with a sad face. When she saw Yuan Qingling, she reluctantly sat up and said, "Here you come?"
No need to salute."
Yuan Qingling saw that something was wrong with her face, so he reached out and touched her forehead. She didn't feel hot, but was still a little cold, and asked: "Why do you feel uncomfortable all of a sudden?"
When did you start feeling dizzy?
Is there anything else besides dizziness?"
The imperial concubine sighed, "The dizziness started in the past few days. I was greedy a few days ago and drank two more bowls of mung bean soup. I had a stomachache that night. I ran to Ruyi Room several times at night. I vomited twice when I woke up the next morning.
I can’t eat very much, and I’m still very nauseous now.”
"How can you still be greedy for sweet soup in this weather?
These mung beans are cold in nature, so I told you not to eat too much."
Aunt Feng was talking about her next to her. In the past two days, Aunt Feng had become worried. She looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Princess, you have to talk to her. It's rare that life is better now and she doesn't value her body."
The imperial concubine knew that she was wrong, so she smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, I will remember this from now on."
Yuan Qingling asked: "Have you asked the imperial doctor?"
"Doctor Wu has returned to her hometown. No, I heard you were here, so she had to invite you."
Aunt Feng said.
Yuan Qingling nodded. After the consultation, he listened to his heartbeat and asked, "Do you have abdominal pain?"
"Yes, there is some. How can it not hurt after I have pooped it so many times?"
The imperial concubine said feebly, "I'm so dizzy."
"If you still have diarrhea, you have to fast," Yuan Qingling ordered, and while prescribing the medicine, he asked: "When did you get your period?"
"This year, I only come once in March or February, and it's almost over. The most recent visit should have been two months ago."
The imperial concubine said sarcastically.
Yuan Qingling suddenly looked at her thoughtfully, "You're not pregnant, are you?"
When the imperial concubine heard this, she burst out laughing. She looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Don't be ridiculous. You've made me nervous."
However, Yuan Qingling slowly took out the pregnancy test stick. This thing has been really active recently. Beitang is full of happy events. She hopes that Rong Yue can use it as soon as possible.
The imperial concubine was reluctant to take the test, but Yuan Qingling insisted, saying that it would be difficult to use the medicine if it was not tested.
The imperial concubine could not resist, and muttered: "This is impossible. I am already over forty this year. If I were so lucky, I would have grandchildren now, and I only serve the emperor once or twice a year.
?
The last time was two or three months ago."
Having said that, he entered the Ruyi Room with the help of Aunt Feng.
Yuan Qingling actually didn't think it was very possible. She had heard Lao Wu say that nowadays, the emperor's father only favors the concubines, and the other concubines in the palace are also older. Those who have sons and grandsons don't think about it.
Sometimes even when the emperor comes, he is not very willing to entertain.
The imperial concubine has no children, but since the birth of the fifth child, Dim Sum and the second child have often entered the palace. She has to take care of a huge harem, so she naturally has no energy to serve the emperor. Plus she is about to menopause, so she has no intention to do so.
, as she said, it only happens once or twice a year, and it should be used to maintain the relationship between husband and wife.
After a while, Aunt Feng took out the pregnancy test stick and said with a sad face: "Pull it on again. They said you shouldn't eat too much if it's cold, but you didn't listen."
Yuan Qingling took it and took a look, a little stunned.
Aunt Feng came over and asked: "Princess, can this thing really know whether she is pregnant?
What do these two shades of red mean?”
Yuan Qingling smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Feng, go and congratulate the emperor."
Aunt Feng looked at her in surprise, "Huh?
Congratulations?"
After a while, she came back to her senses and exclaimed, "Oh my God, Princess, are you serious?
Is the empress really pregnant?"
Yuan Qingling held up the two bars: "It's absolutely true!"
Aunt Feng covered her mouth and couldn't believe her ears. After a while, she ran out and shouted to Ruyi Fang, "Mother, come out quickly, I'm pregnant!"
After a while, the imperial concubine staggered out. The palace maid hurriedly supported her. She looked at Yuan Qingling in disbelief, "Really?"
Yuan Qingling looked at her surprised face and nodded heavily, "It's true, concubine, you are pregnant."
For so many years, the imperial concubine had been dreaming about giving birth to a son and a half daughters. However, as she got older, she no longer dared to have this dream and accepted her fate.
God really knows how to joke, and gave her such a great gift when she didn't even dare to expect it.
"My slave, go and tell the Emperor the good news!"
Aunt Feng, who was always steady, turned around and ran out.
