The matter of Emperor Jianwen's appointment of a crown prince was conveyed to Jiaofang Hall as quickly as possible.
All the dust has settled!
Queen Yu slowly exhaled, as if she wanted to spit out all the depression that had been accumulated for several years. Joy flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were raised high.
Li Xiangru sat stiffly on the chair, trying to force out a smile, but couldn't.
Although I had already expected such an ending, when the day finally came, I realized that I was so flustered.
Such a heavy blow! Even she felt like she was in an abyss. How would the fourth prince feel?
The third prince becomes the crown prince, and there will always be a day when he will sit on the throne. Emperor Jianwen could be more restrained when he was alive. Once Emperor Jianwen returns to the west, how can the third prince easily let go of the fourth prince who has been fighting with him for many years?
"Congratulations to the Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors," a very familiar voice sounded in Li Xiangru's ears: "Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors cannot be stingy about such a happy event. She must hold a banquet and invite us to come and have a drink."
It’s Xie Mingxi!
Li Xiangru gritted his teeth secretly.
Yin Xiaoxiao was not in a good mood. From the beginning to the end, the fifth prince never had the upper hand. Just like a group of horses galloping, only the first place can win. The horse running in third place is a very good horse and tries its best.
It's only the third one.
Even the second one failed miserably, so what’s the use of third place?
Xiao Yuhan was in a very good mood at this time, with joy in the corners of his eyes and brows. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Even if I invite you to the banquet, you won't be able to drink."
Zhao Changqing answered the question with a smile: "Isn't that right? You are just three months pregnant. Although the fetus is stable, you still have to give birth and take care of the fetus well. You should not drink alcohol at all."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Don't drink, just eat more delicious food."
Then, he turned to Queen Yu and smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law has been raising her fetus in the palace for a month, and today she went to the palace to pay her respects to her mother. I didn't expect to hear such good news today, and I feel really happy."
Empress Yu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "We will discuss Xiao's banquet later. Today we will stay in Jiaofang Hall to eat. I will order the imperial dining room to prepare the meal."
All the princes and concubines responded in unison.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly, stood up and admonished: "The queen mother, the crown prince of the state, and the imperial grandmother must also be very happy. For such a happy event, it is appropriate to send someone to Cining Palace to deliver the good news."
The princes and concubines: "..."
Empress Dowager Li has always been interested in the fourth prince. Now that the third prince has been appointed as the crown prince, Jiaofang Palace will send someone to "announce the good news". What is the difference between this and slapping Empress Dowager Li in the face?
However, Xie Mingxi's words are very high-sounding and cannot be faulted in the slightest.
What a great Xie Mingxi!
Who can match this scheme and means?
Looking at the smiling Xie Mingxi, Empress Yu felt a rare sigh of relief in her heart. Xiao Yuhan was well-educated, elegant, gentle, and more than enough to be a prince's concubine. Being a prince's concubine was a little worse.
What's the difference?
What's bad is his scheming skills to be one step ahead!
"That makes sense." Queen Yu continued with a smile: "Zhilan, you will go to Cining Palace to report the good news to your mother."
…
After Empress Dowager Li learned this "good news", her old face could no longer smile.
Empress Yu was in charge of the harem, and the son born to Concubine Yu Shu became the prince. From the court to the harem, everything from now on was under the control of Empress Yu.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting for many years, and she has gradually slipped from the absolute upper hand to the bottom. She is about to sink to the point where she is living her life just by looking at her daughter-in-law's face...
Queen Mother Li's heart was pounding, her throat was itching, and she suddenly coughed several times. She couldn't spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. The maid on the side was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Queen Mother Li's back.
With such light strength, what use can it have?
Queen Mother Li was angry and anxious, and wanted to open her mouth to curse, but the thick phlegm was still in her throat, and her breathing suddenly became difficult. Her face turned red from holding it back, and soon she rolled her eyes and fainted.
There was chaos in Cining Palace.
"Come on, hurry up and call the doctor."
"The imperial doctor is here! Look quickly. The Queen Mother suddenly fainted for some reason."
"Come quickly, go to Jiaofang Palace to deliver a letter and report this matter to the Queen."
After a stick of incense.
Queen Yu rushed over after hearing the news. Also coming were Xie Mingxi and others.
Queen Mother Li had been carried to the bed, and several imperial doctors gathered around the bed, discussing in low voices.
Empress Yu, who looked anxious and eager, opened her mouth and asked: "Why did the queen suddenly faint? What's going on now? Have you discussed a charter?"
A man in his sixties was suddenly choked by a mouthful of thick phlegm, and almost lost his breath on the spot. Speaking of which, it was really an unlucky thing.
Now that the phlegm has been swallowed hard, Empress Dowager Li still hasn't woken up, with a strange red flush on her face. Obviously this is not a good sign...
The doctors looked at each other in confusion.
Doctor Zhao took a step forward and responded respectfully: "As people get older, they are most afraid of being overjoyed or sad. The Queen Mother is overjoyed and is currently in a coma. Fortunately, her life is not in danger. The specific situation needs to be observed for two days.
"
It’s good to be unconscious!
It's best not to wake up again.
Empress Yu felt quite happy about the "double happiness", and her face showed a look of urgency and worry at the right time: "You guys, please consult and prescribe a prescription immediately, and make sure that the queen wakes up in the shortest possible time."
The imperial doctors all took the order and responded.
Xiao Yuhan glanced at Xie Mingxi quietly.
You are really good at this!
Xie Mingxi looked innocent.
She just reminded Empress Yu to announce the good news to Empress Dowager Li. Who knew that Empress Dowager Li would be "overly happy" and almost choked to death from a mouthful of thick phlegm.
…
After Empress Dowager Li fell, Empress Yu had no intention of holding any more palace banquets.
Queen Yu first sent someone to Yiqing Palace to deliver the message, and then said to Yin Xiaoxiao and Xie Mingxi: "They are staying here to wait for the disease. You two are pregnant. Don't stay in Cining Palace. Get out of the palace and go back first."
Let’s take a rest.”
Xie Mingxi is just three months pregnant, and Yin Xiaoxiao is already more than seven months pregnant. Her belly is not too small, so she should not stand for a long time, let alone be tired.
Queen Yu opened her mouth, but the two of them did not refuse, each thanked her and left.
The two of them left Cining Palace one after the other.
Yin Xiaoxiao deliberately slowed down her pace, and when Xie Mingxi stepped forward, she whispered: "I'll go sit in your house."
There are many eyes and ears in the palace, so speaking is often inconvenient.
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Yin Xiaoxiao, who looked a little haggard, and nodded: "Okay."
Half an hour later, the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao sat opposite each other.
Yin Xiaoxiao was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and did not open her mouth to speak. Xie Mingxi did not say anything to urge her, but poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Yin Xiaoxiao.
After you are pregnant, you should not drink tea. There are also many things to pay attention to when it comes to scented tea, fruit tea, etc. Drinking plain water is the most appropriate.
Yin Xiaoxiao took the delicate porcelain cup, her lips moved, and two tears rolled down.
