The royal New Year begins in Laba, and various rituals need to be carried out. As the prince's concubine, Li Yuhua also needs to participate in many occasions.
For example, on the winter solstice, Emperor Mu Xuan will take the princes to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, and Queen Mother Lan will take her concubines to cook sacrificial meat for the ancestors in Ci'en Palace.
The Yi Palace presided over the ceremony. Because Empress Dowager Lan was highly respected, it was Empress Dowager Lan who took the concubines to preside over the meat sacrifice ceremony in Ci'en Palace.
This year, three princes and concubines came in, and Empress Dowager Lan also asked the prince, the second prince, and Li Yuhua to attend. Moreover, she treated the three granddaughter-in-laws differently and gave them some simple errands.
A large cauldron was set up in front of Ci'en Palace to cook a large amount of meat. Li Yuhua looked at the large yellow cauldron, and the aroma of the meat penetrated his nose along with the hot air. He thought to himself that this was the style of an imperial family. In the past, they in the county
The rich man's flowing water table was nothing more than two iron pots, which was absolutely incomparable with this royal cauldron.
Li Yuhua was lamenting that he was lucky enough to marry his third brother as his wife when he heard two sounds of retching beside him. Upon hearing the sound, he saw the princess covering her lips with her sleeves and retching non-stop. Her face was very pale.
The second princess has already supported the crown princess, with concern in her voice, "Is the crown princess feeling unwell?"
Empress Lu also said, "Good boy, what's going on?"
Queen Mother Lan ordered Nanny Lin to take a sign to the imperial physician, and asked the Crown Princess if she had been feeling unwell for the past few days, and asked the Crown Princess to go lie down in the inner room. The Crown Princess quickly said, "It's nothing serious, I just felt a little nauseous suddenly.
Dizziness."
Concubine Hui, the biological mother of the eldest princess, Princess Jiayue, said, "Don't be too happy."
Queen Mother Lan's worry turned to joy, "If that's the case, it will be a great joy for our royal family." The palace servants helped the princess to rest in the Nuan Pavilion.
At that moment, the imperial doctor came over and personally checked for the Crown Princess's pulse and then congratulated the two palaces that the Crown Princess was pregnant.
Empress Dowager Lan was very happy. Not only did she reward the imperial physician Zheng, but also the Crown Princess Lu, and all the concubines present today had a share. The worst one also got a piece of fashionable satin. Especially the second princess, Li Yuhua, Lan
The Queen Mother was rewarded with a set of Baizi tents, and she expressed her expectations in a clear voice, "The Crown Princess is pregnant, which is not only a happy event for our royal family, but also a happy event for the world. You two must also work hard to spread the branches and leaves of our royal family as soon as possible.
.”
Both of them agreed shyly. The second prince and concubine were a little unsure. Her menstrual period was due this month, but the imperial doctor did not say anything else when he asked for a pulse. The second prince and concubine was a stable person and did not make any announcement. She just wanted to wait and see again.
I'll have a consultation with the Imperial Physician in a few days.
Li Yuhua's eyes were rolling wildly, with hatred in his heart. He only hated that he was married to his third brother and was only busy with the affairs of opening a palace, entering the palace, and the Cien Society. As a result, he put the cart before the horse and forgot the most important matter of giving birth to a son.
.No, the Crown Princess actually took the lead. How can Li Yuhua, who has always been so aggressive, be convinced!
Li Yuhua congratulated the Crown Princess obediently, looking at the stars holding the moon as if she had a phoenix egg in her belly, it would be a lie to say she was not envious.
But what about children? Who doesn’t know how to have children? She will have five boys and three girls with her third brother!
If your family is prosperous, your career will be prosperous as well.
Li Yuhua thought very simply.
The great joy of having the Crown Princess during the winter solstice became even more lively. Emperor Mu Xuan returned to the palace and was so happy that he simply left his sons to have a meal in the palace. When the palace banquet was over, Li Yuhua followed Mu An's words and sent Queen Mother Lan out of the palace.
The Queen Mother smiled and told the young couple, "You must work harder."
I had just said this to the second prince and second princess. Li Yuhua seemed to be encouraged and responded loudly, "Grandma, don't worry, we are getting married on the same day as the princess, so it will be soon."
Mu Anzhi opened his eyes uncomfortably and thought to himself, what is Sister Yuhua talking about?
"Okay." Queen Mother Lan was extremely happy and agreed repeatedly.
On the way back home, Li Yuhua glared at Mu Anzhi several times. Mu Anzhi immediately returned home and excused himself to wash up. He went to the bathroom and soaked for more than half an hour before coming out.
Mu Anzhi was drying his hair in the warm pavilion outside the bathroom, and asked Xiao Yi, "Are you going to see if Yuhua is resting?"
Xiao Yi put a cup of strong tea next to his master's hand and said puzzledly, "Your Majesty must not have slept yet. Your Highness might as well go to the bedroom to rest. Wouldn't it be more comfortable than this conservatory?"
"Just go if I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Xiao Yi went away and reported to his master when he came back, "Your Majesty has gone to bed."
Mu Anzhi drank strong tea in Nuan Pavilion and sat for a while. His hair was half dry, and he returned to the bedroom wearing a thick fur. As expected, Li Yuhua had already slept in the tent first. Suxue came forward to serve Mu Anzhi and put on the big cloak.
Waving her hand, Suxue also bowed and retreated.
After closing the curtain and taking a closer look, Li Yuhua was sleeping soundly on the bed, with a handful of green silk hair lying on the pillow, revealing half of his flushed face. Mu Anzhi felt relieved, tiptoed onto the bed, lifted a corner of the quilt and got out.
Go in.
Mu Anzhi knew without asking that Li Yuhua was interested in having a child. If his future was bright, he would be willing to be a loving couple with sister Yuhua. In the current situation, he was extremely unwilling to implicate Li Yuhua.
Mu Anzhi just drank a bowl of strong tea and did not fall asleep immediately. In his hazy consciousness, he felt a sound around him, and then a familiar light fragrance came to his face. Before Mu Anzhi could think about it, a soft and warm object fell on
On his lips, Mu Anzhi realized that it was Li Yuhua's lips. He was so shocked that his hands and feet were numb, his heart was beating like a drum, and he forgot to react for a moment.
This sudden kiss was as soft as clouds, as warm as spring, and as sweet as nectar. However, before Mu Anzhi could think about it, Li Yuhua quietly left and looked at Mu Anzhi with his arms raised. Li Yuhua murmured, "God bless you with one fell swoop."
"
Then, Li Yuhua lay back on the quilt peacefully, and soon her gentle snoring could be heard.
Mu Anzhi was frightened to death. When he came back to his senses, the sweet fragrance lingered on his lips. For a moment, he felt mixed feelings in his heart. After a long time, Mu Anzhi thought about what Li Yuhua had done at night, wondering if this silly girl thought she was close to him.
Can you get pregnant with just one kiss?
Mu Anzhi's suspicion was confirmed in the next two days. Every night, Li Yuhua secretly kissed him twice in the middle of the night, and secretly made a wish, "Kiss him twice and you will have twins."
Mu Anzhi couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that this silly girl really didn't understand anything. He wanted to remind Li Yuhua, but he was worried that Li Yuhua would be embarrassed, and even more worried that Li Yuhua would force him to sleep with him after knowing that the process was incorrect. At that time, he relied on Yuhua's sister
Or not?
The terrible thing is that Li Yuhua has a very methodical character.
So, after much deliberation, Mu Anzhi decided to pretend to be confused and leave it at that for the time being.
As for whether this move was suspected of taking advantage of Yuhua's sister, Mu Anzhi couldn't care less for the time being.
Since kissing Mu Anzhi several times in the evening, Li Yuhua thought that she was pregnant and was looking good every day. She also looked radiant when entering the palace to greet the Queen Mother Lan. When she saw the Crown Princess with two beautiful maids in Ci'en Palace, Li Yuhua said casually
He said, "These two girls are very familiar with each other. I have never met them before."
The princess smiled and said, "What do my brothers and sisters think of them?"
Li Yuhua said, "It's hard to tell from the outside, but it looks pretty good."
"The three younger brothers and sisters all think it's good, so it turns out it's really good." The princess said with a smile.
Empress Dowager Lan and the Crown Princess said, "It's good that you are so virtuous. I can tell by your appearance that since you personally selected them, I know that your character must not be bad, so let them serve you and the Crown Prince. The proportion will be based on the large number."
It's okay if he belongs to the palace, and in the future, he will be judged on his character, honest and loyal, and it won't be too late to give him some dignity."
The Crown Princess said to these two people, "Why don't you thank the Imperial Grandmother for her kindness?"
Empress Dowager Lan gave the two a few words of admonishment, and then sent them off with a gold hairpin each.
After the Crown Princess left, Li Yuhua asked Empress Dowager Lan whether the two girls were concubines for the Crown Prince. Empress Dowager Lan did not expect that Li Yuhua was usually very smart, so she asked about this matter. Empress Dowager Lan said, "The Crown Princess is virtuous.
I personally selected beauties from the East Palace to serve the prince."
Li Yuhua said, "Suxue Sushuang in our mansion is also a first-class beauty, and the Yunyan and Skylark beside me are also very clever. Grandma, you think it's so weird, but the third brother doesn't even look at them."
"It's not surprising, Ashen's heart is all about you." Queen Mother Lan joked.
"My heart is also with the third brother." Li Yuhua felt in his heart that the matter of the Crown Princess was handled a little hastily. Maybe the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were not as affectionate as usual. Looking at Emperor Renzong and Queen Ming Sheng, Ming Sheng was also
The Holy Queen had no children, so she had other concubines. Moreover, Emperor Renzong's children were very close in age, and since no more children were born, it can be seen that Emperor Renzong was just a descendant of Yanmian.
Now that the crown princess is pregnant, the prince doesn't have to be so anxious to be loved and pampered, right?
Li Yuhua also took this matter back to Mu Anzhi and told him, Mu Anzhi said indifferently, "It's natural that Donggong has a long line of heirs."
"Then there's no need to be so anxious, right? The Crown Princess has just been found out to be pregnant, and the Crown Prince is doting on the woman next to him. How can the Crown Princess feel better?"
Mu Anzhi was used to seeing things in the palace. He glanced at Li Yuhua with a smile and fiddled with a pot of camellia in front of him, "Do you think everyone is as sincere as you? The East Palace asks for Ping An's pulse every three days. How could the Crown Princess just be diagnosed with pregnancy?
It’s just that it’s kept secret and not revealed until the pregnancy is stable, so it’s specially said at the end of the year to add an extra layer of joy.”
"The Crown Princess is overjoyed, what else is she hiding?" Li Yuhua was puzzled. In the countryside, any family would immediately start planning for a daughter-in-law to be pregnant. Without him, she could take a break and not do anything after she became pregnant.
That’s a lot of work.
"People who think too much think too much about everything." Mu Anzhi said sarcastically, "This is none of our family's business, so you don't have to think about it."
"Third brother, if you want me to get pregnant in the future, you must not have another woman. Let me tell you straight, I am jealous, and I am not a generous and virtuous person like the princess." Li Yuhua stared at her almond-shaped eyes and said ugly things.
front.
Mu Anzhi was amused. Thinking of Li Yuhua sneaking up on him every night and muttering about wanting to have a child, he couldn't help but say, "Where are you thinking? Don't say I'm not like that. I don't have the luxury of being a prince."
Mu Anzhi cut off a big red camellia and gave it to Li Yuhua to put a hairpin on his temples. Li Yuhua took a small mirror to discuss it, and glanced at Mu Anzhi in the mirror, "Don't tell me, third brother, you have good taste. It's this late at night,
Who should I show my hairpin to?"
Mu Anzhi also gave Li Yuhua a camellia hairpin by some strange coincidence. Now when Li Yuhua asked, Mu Anzhi coughed slightly and moved his eyes uncomfortably, "It looks good to anyone."
"I won't show it to anyone else, just show it to Third Brother." Li Yuhua asked, "Third Brother, do you think it looks good?"
Mu Anzhi was asked, especially Li Yuhua, who looked expectantly and opened and closed her flower-like lips, which made Mu Anzhi think of the soft and fragrant fragrance at night. Mu Anzhi answered erratically, "It looks good."
Li Yuhua's eyes flashed, a little proud and a little shy. At night, while Mu Anzhi was "asleep", he secretly kissed Mu Anzhi several times, hoping to give birth to two babies for his third brother soon.
Mu Anzhi really didn't know who taught Li Yuhua this weird knowledge about fertility. He could neither explain it nor refuse it, so he had to bear it sweetly and painfully.
Less than half a month after the princess gave out the good news, the Duke of Jin was reprimanded by Emperor Mu Xuan for not keeping the curtains thin, and his errand in the Zongren Mansion was also taken away.
The Duke of Jin's wife cried in Ci'en Palace, and Empress Dowager Lan sighed and said a few words to her, "You too, why can't you control a concubine, but let her curse you? Fortunately, you are okay, if you have
Anyway, who are you going to make the Ai family feel sorry for? The emperor was also annoyed for a moment. You ask the Duke of Jin to reflect on it and calm down for a while. After he reflects on it, people understand that they have their own mission. "
"That's all I can say about the cursed nightmare..."
The crying of the Duke of Jin's wife suddenly stopped under the stern gaze of Queen Mother Lan. Queen Mother Lan said coldly, "Did you cry in front of me last time and say that the concubine cursed you? You said it casually? You
Are you just here to fool the Ai family?"
"No, no, no, my niece-in-law doesn't dare."
"Aijia, I forgive you for not being so confused. I have never seen anyone in the Aijia who can fool around in this Ci'en Palace."
The Duke of Jin and his wife did not dare to speak any more. Seeing that Empress Dowager Lan was angry, Li Yuhua did not dare to say anything. Empress Dowager Lan sent everyone to leave. Li Yuhua also followed her out of Ci'en Palace. The Duke and Lady of Jin used to be humorous in speech and quite good at conducting themselves.
Empress Dowager Lan also likes her, so she is quite popular among the clan even though she has a low imperial edict. Now that she has offended Empress Dowager Lan, there is no one around the Duke and Mrs. Jin, and it is obvious that she is a snobbish person.
Li Yuhua called the Duke of Jin's wife and asked her to accompany him.
Mrs. Jin Guogong's face turned pale, and she boarded the Qibao Car with Li Yuhua. The heat in the car made her burst into tears. Li Yuhua did not persuade Mrs. Jin Guogong, and Mrs. Jin Guogong cried for a while, sobbing and said,
"It's a joke for my siblings. At my age, I speak carelessly, which not only hinders the mission of our prince, but also annoys the emperor's wife."
"My sister-in-law was just worried about the Duke's mission for a while. But let me tell you, is it my fault that this happened? The Duke would never have had a few virtuous concubines, so he would not have ended up like this. Sister-in-law, you are the victim, so it doesn't matter.
I can't blame you. Why should I blame myself for this?" Li Yuhua looked down on a man like Jin Guogong who had a house full of little wives and didn't take responsibility for anything that happened, but blamed his wife.
When Li Yuhua said this, Mrs. Jin Guogong shed tears again at that time, "You are the only brother and sister who understands my suffering. Those heartless ones have been complaining that I talk too much and talk about things at home in the past two days.
, I think he wants to ask that little woman to curse me to death so that he can take advantage of his wish."
"Sister-in-law, you should relax your mind. I think the third niece and the eldest nephew are all promising children, especially the eldest nephew, who is also a young man of 16 or 17 years old. When he reaches the age of being a errand, if you have such a concern, it is better to focus on the eldest nephew.
In the future, my eldest nephew will be successful, and you will have endless blessings."
Originally, the Duke of Jin’s wife had been complaining about her husband for two days at home, and the news about her concubine’s curse on her came from Taiping Nunnery. The case in Taiping Nunnery was related to Mu Anzhi, and the Duke of Jin’s wife also complained about Mu Anzhi.
An Zhicun was a little angry. Now that she had offended Empress Dowager Lan, everyone avoided her. Only Li Yuhua invited her to go with her and enlightened her in such a sensible way. Mrs. Jin Guogong was also a sensible person. No wonder the third prince and his wife knew this.
The concubine was taken by the Duke of Jin himself. It was not the Third Prince's fault that he secretly went to Taiping Temple to curse her because he failed to manage it well. This was all due to the unrest in his own family. Now the incident can't be blamed on the Third Prince.
ah.
Mrs. Jin Guogong reassured Li Yuhua, mainly because Li Yuhua's words were reasonable. Obviously, the old man was unreliable. Instead of relying on the old man, it was better to rely on his son. How reliable his son was. Her biological daughter and daughter were also very sensible.
.
Li Yuhua kept sending the Duke of Jin's wife home before returning home.
In the evening, Li Yuhua told Mu Anzhi what happened to the Duke of Jin's wife in Ci'en Palace. Li Yuhua said, "It's just a small matter at home. The concubine in the Duke of Jin's palace didn't do anything to the Duke of Jin's wife. Why did she get involved?"
The Duke of Jin’s officials are all gone.”
Mu Anzhi picked up a sky-green tea cup and sighed after hearing the words, "Originally, it was indeed not like this. The Duke of Jin did not have a prominent official position in the court, and he only had a casual position in the clan's mansion. He was more incompetent, and he usually did not offend anyone.
There is no way to block anyone's way. All the censors in the Yushitai insisted on this matter, and it was indeed Jin Guogong's wife who said it herself. Chu Shizi Ren Zongzheng ordered, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to dismiss Jin Guogong.
Messenger."
"If you don't say that the Duke of Jin can't offend anyone, why can't Yushitai have trouble with him?"
"It's not that I deliberately had trouble with the Duke of Jin. It was because the Duke of Jin had bad luck. His family's incident was related to Taiping Nunnery, and it was the Duke of Jin's wife who told the story herself. After getting the evidence, the Yushitai launched an attack. Jin
How can the duke not be in bad luck?"
Li Yuhua frowned, "Zhu Huan has just been dismissed from office, and the Duke of Jin has been deprived of his mission. Seeing the results of the two of them, I am afraid that there will be other families involved in Taiping An, and those families will not admit what happened at home."
"Otherwise, how could you use Taiping Temple to trap me?"
Mu Anzhi's long eyes narrowed slightly, and the fighting light in his eyes was as sharp as the light of a sword.
