Concubine Hu always spoke like this. If other concubines heard this, they would probably say that she was arrogant because of her favor. Fortunately, the imperial concubine knew that she was straightforward and did not mince words, so she just smiled and said, "That's what I said.
It’s the imperial grandfather after all, he should know.”
"Isn't the Crown Princess just going to show off to him this time?"
Concubine Hu looked at Yuan Qingling with a smile, "Do you want to invite him over?"
Yuan Qing Ling said hurriedly: "That's not possible. I'll wait for him to finish his work and go greet him."
Concubine Hu can invite the emperor over at will, but she can't. There are still rules. If there are no rules, others will criticize her.
The imperial concubine had already asked someone to keep an eye on her. If the emperor was free, he would come and report immediately. Yuan Qing had been sitting there for most of an hour when someone came from the front of the imperial court and said that the emperor was going to have some snacks. At this time, the princess could go and pay her respects.
The imperial concubine accompanied her there, but the concubine Hu did not go and had to go back to take Xiao Lao Shi.
Emperor Ming Yuan was having snacks in the Piannuan Pavilion. If he didn't take a lunch break at this time, he would probably drink some tea to refresh himself. When he learned that Yuan Qingling was coming soon, he asked someone to prepare a snack.
"The Crown Princess has not been in the palace for a while."
Emperor Ming Yuan wiped his sweat, it was so hot.
Eunuch Mu Ru smiled and said, "Isn't that right?
Since you said last time that she was not allowed to go to Prince Qi's Mansion to have an abortion for Princess Qi, she has not been seen here since then."
"mean!"
Emperor Ming Yuan snorted, "It doesn't necessarily have to be her. Isn't Princess Qi's fetus fine now?"
"Your Majesty, the old lady went there personally and adjusted the dosage of medicine to stabilize the fetus. The old lady was also invited by the Crown Princess."
Eunuch Mu Ru reminded.
Emperor Ming Yuan drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup and said, "Well, it can be considered as her contribution. I will reward you later."
"The Crown Princess has saved many rewards."
Eunuch Mu Ru covered his mouth and snickered.
"When Lao Wu returns in triumph, we will cash it in together."
Emperor Ming Yuan obviously lacked confidence in his words. After the war, he became even poorer. What could he accomplish?
However, as the king of a country, there must still be rewards.
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived, the Crown Princess has arrived...ah..." the eunuch who was delivering the order suddenly elongated his voice and shouted again, and he was very shocked by the sound.
Emperor Ming Yuan's face darkened immediately, and Eunuch Mu Ru walked out quickly, "I'm just going to scold him."
Eunuch Mu Ru went out and saw the imperial concubine and Yuan Qingling walking in together. He was about to salute before he could get down when he saw Yuan Qingling's belly and screamed, "Ah... Princess, you!"
"
Eunuch Mu Ru was so excited that he could not speak. He simply stopped saluting and ran back quickly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is here..." "What are you so frizzy about?"
When it comes, it comes!”
Emperor Ming Yuan adjusted his collar and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. When he raised his head, he saw Yuan Qingling and the imperial concubine opening the curtain and entering.
He looked at Yuan Qingling's belly, "Are you fat or pregnant?"
The imperial concubine burst into laughter, "Your Majesty, have you ever seen a fat-bellied one?"
Emperor Ming Yuan straightened his eyes, "Pregnant?
How old is it?
Why didn't you report it?"
The tone was indeed a bit unpleasant.
Yuan Qingling stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Father, it's only been four months. I was supposed to report it in three months, but the fifth child is not in the capital. I thought I'd keep it a secret for now to avoid more trouble."
Right and wrong.”
“It’s only been four months!
" Emperor Ming Yuan took another look. He didn't know much about this woman's pregnancy, but he remembered that Concubine Hu's belly was not that big at four months at that time.
Even Princess Qi is now six months old, and her belly is similar to hers.
"Could it be..." He took another look expectantly.
Yuan Qingling explained: "I had less reaction during this pregnancy and ate more, so I actually gained a lot of weight."
"He's fat!"
Emperor Ming Yuan could not help but be disappointed.
Seeing the disappointed look in her eyes, the imperial concubine stepped forward and pushed her gently, "Your Majesty, isn't it bad that you are fat?
If you get fat, you can give birth to a big fat boy."
Emperor Ming Yuan reacted, "Yes, yes, it would be good to have a big fat boy, just like his tenth uncle... Hey, forget it, don't be like his tenth uncle, that little pig is so heavy that I can hardly hold it
Moved."
Little Lao Shi is indeed chubby, tasty and easy to fart when he is little, but he is really cute. As soon as he stretches out his two chubby little hands, Emperor Ming Yuan's heart melts.
Therefore, even though his face is filled with disgust when he talks about his youngest son, there is still a deep feeling of joy in his eyes.
Emperor Ming Yuan was still very happy that Yuan Qingling was pregnant, and he did not hide his happiness. He rewarded her with a hundred gold without any IOU, and then went to the warehouse to get the precious mountain and sea food for Yuan Qingling to take out of the palace and let her
Eat what you want, don't pick at it.
The second child was rescued, the fifth child was in sight of victory, and the two daughters-in-law were pregnant. This made Emperor Ming Yuan feel that his life had reached its peak for a while, and he issued an order to grant amnesty to the world.
The Amnesty for the World was a kind of amnesty. The population of the Northern Tang Dynasty was not dense, and the labor force was actually in short supply. After the amnesty, the prisoners returned home, which could be regarded as increasing the labor force for the Northern Tang Dynasty. Of course, death row prisoners were not included in the amnesty.
When I first learned that I was pregnant, it was just one month old, and now I am four months old. In other words, the three-month deadline given by the abbot has come.
Yuan Qingling didn't feel anything wrong with her body. She felt that the junior should have succeeded, and Yuan Qingling also breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that no one would know about this matter, so she had passed a crisis in secret.
Little did they know that on the third night after she came out of the palace, she was telling stories with her children in her room. Baozi suddenly hugged her neck and asked: "Mom, why don't you go back?"
Yuan Qingling didn't care much and asked: "Where to go back?"
"Go back and get the injection, your medicine is about to expire."
Baozi lay on her knees and said.
Yuan Qingling held up his collar and looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"
Baozi looked at her head and pointed at the center of his eyebrows, "The shiny things inside are almost extinguished."
Yuan Qingling was extremely shocked, "You said... you can see what's inside mom's head?"
"We all saw it!"
Tangyuan and Baozi said in unison.
Yuan Qingling's breath was stagnant, and she looked at the three of them with difficulty, "Did you all see them?
What did you see?"
"I've seen them all."
Baozi climbed up to her knees and hugged her neck. His chubby hands moved upward slowly, "There's only a little bit left, a little bit."
He stretched out a finger and made some fingernail signs, "Mom, if you don't go back for the injection, you will die."
Yuan Qingling didn't say anything for a long time. Now...she can't go back.
Moreover, she is pregnant with the child, how can she go back?
For a moment, panic filled my heart. I thought that when the three-month period came, she was safe and sound, which proved that the abbot was successful.
But now... looking at the children's stunned expressions, she was so confused that she hugged them and said, "It's okay. Don't worry. Although mom can't go back, but the abbot does, he will definitely think of a way to help me."
of."
"Mom, don't die!"
Xiao Nuomi started crying, then stretched out her hand to beat the bag, "You lied, you said it would be fine if mom goes back, mom can't even go back."
