The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

Summer is approaching, and the Empress and Concubine Jia are about to give birth. Concubine Wu Gui, who is the coordinator of the harem, is naturally very busy. Under the high pressure for several days, she actually fainted in Xiao Rong's Changle Palace, scaring Xiao Rong directly to death. Tolerance pales.The palace people in the palace were naturally in a hurry, and it was only after the imperial doctor announced the good news that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wu Guifei woke up faintly, the first thing she saw was a smiling face.The voice was weak and said: "The queen mother... the concubine is rude."

Xiao Rong shook his head and said with a smile: "Nuan'er is going to give Ai's family a grandson again, it's too late for Ai's family to be happy." Reaching back, he took the anti-fetal medicine from Nanny Cui's hand.

Concubine Wu Gui was both surprised and delighted, her beautiful eyes were shining, she looked at Xiao Rong moistly, "Queen Mother, what do you mean...?"

"Silly boy, the imperial doctor said that you are already a month pregnant. It's all because of Aijia, who made you work so hard, so you couldn't help but faint." After speaking, he took the medicine in his hand and sat down. side of the bed.Cui Mama accepted it, and immediately stepped forward to help Concubine Wu Gui up, and put a soft pillow with blue and yellow cloud patterns on her back.

Concubine Wu Gui was overjoyed, as if in a dream, she was afraid that such a beautiful dream would disappear once she woke up.I have been in the palace for a long time, and I have never been pregnant.Originally, the empress was in front, so I was not in a hurry.It's just that since the Empress Empress became pregnant, Concubine Jia and Concubine Feng became pregnant one after another, so they naturally became irritable.The only thing a woman in the harem can rely on is her own flesh and blood... Thinking of this, Concubine Wu Gui put her onion-like finger to her mouth, and took a hard bite. She felt a sharp pain before she covered her face. Looking at Xiao Rong with emotion, "Queen Mother, the concubine is so happy, so happy."

When Xiao Rong saw this, his heart began to sour.This is the sorrow of the women in the harem. Wu Luan is beautiful, but her natal family has a high status. If she doesn't have children by her side, it may be difficult for her to have a place in the future.

Reaching out a hand to brush the broken hair by Wu Guifei's ears, she said lovingly: "The Ai family is also happy. From today on, you can put aside all the affairs of the harem, and take good care of your baby. In the future, you will give the Ai family a white and fat grandson."

Concubine Wu Gui nodded blushingly, and said obediently: "The concubine will save it." After thinking for a while, she raised her head and said, "Then who will manage the affairs of the harem? Now the queen and concubine Jia are going to give birth, and the rest of the concubines are not qualified enough. , I'm afraid..."

Xiao Rong said with a smile: "You, please have a good life, the Ai family has its own arrangements."

"En." Wu Guifei heard the words and had no choice but to agree, not daring to say more, lest the queen mother might suspect that she was reluctant to delegate power.Now for me, the fetus in this womb is the most important thing.

When the news of Wu Guifei's pregnancy spread, the harem began to surge again.

Now that the first empress and the second noble concubine in the harem are all pregnant, the job of assisting the harem will naturally fall on other people, and the empress dowager can't take care of it herself.Therefore, the position of assistant in the harem was closely watched by several pairs of eyes.

No matter how turbulent she was outside, Xiao Rong still lived her own comfortable life, often going to Kunning Palace to see the empress who had already been handicapped due to her big belly.

"Oh, this child has such a temper, he will be great in the future." Xiao Rong stretched out his hand and patted the queen's stomach.

The queen gnawed on the apple, looked at the troubled emperor opposite, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, the emperor blushed and said awkwardly: "Queen Mother, you can sit down in peace, squatting for a long time like this is not good for your health."

Hearing this, Xiao Rong raised his head, squinted his eyes, and said, "You dislike Aijia for taking your place."

"..." The person who was talking about the central matter was full of embarrassment.

The mother-in-law empress, who had already grown into a mother, naturally couldn't see her relatives being embarrassed, so she hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Mother, who do you think is best to entrust the matter of the harem to you?"

When it came to business, Xiao Rong didn't dare to be sloppy, stood up, sat on the soft couch safely, and straightened the corners of his clothes.He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aijia can still take care of it for a few days now, and someone will take care of it later." Then he squinted at the emperor who was staring at the queen's stomach with sparkling eyes, "Your Majesty, when do you think that person will come?" Appear?"

Hearing Xiao Rong calling him, the emperor pretended to cough a few times, and said sternly: "These days Wang Ziteng brought up the matter of suppressing bandits in Qianshi Mountain, but it was inconvenient to use troops because of the rain and snow. I don’t know what’s going on for a few days? As for Feng Tang, he is now claiming that he is sick at home, and a few days ago, he wrote a report saying that he wants to return to the frontier after his illness recovers.”

"Oh...then wait a little longer. The Ai family can withstand it for a few days." Xiao Rong took a sip of hot tea and started nibbling sunflower seeds.

In Zhongcui Palace, it has been extremely quiet these past few days.

Since Xue Baochai got Xiao Rong's eyes, her life has become more and more comfortable. The only fly in the ointment is her peaceful stomach.Now all the ladies in the palace have good news, but only my Zhongcui Palace is like a pool of stagnant water, if it is not for the support of my uncle Wang Ziteng, I am afraid that this day will not be so easy.

Ying'er came over with hot tea and brought Xue Baochai more tea.

"Ying'er, who do you think will be handed over to assist the harem?"

Ying'er glanced around a few times before she lowered her head and whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Feng has this idea."

"Concubine Feng?" Xue Baochai shook her head, "She is pregnant now, how can she care about this? Even the Queen Mother won't allow it."

"I heard that Concubine Feng has been going to Changle Palace very frequently these few days. She is not yet confinement, and she looks energetic. I am afraid that the empress dowager's thoughts on her will be given to her."

Xue Baochai rolled her beautiful eyes, bit her red lips with her white teeth, and finally made up her mind and said: "Ying'er, I will pass the booklet to the Queen Mother tomorrow, and said that I want to invite my aunt into the palace for a talk."

"Yes, ma'am."

In the imperial study room, the loyal and obedient beauty was counting and laughing as she pinched her creamy fingers.

The emperor on the imperial case raised his head and rolled his eyes, and continued to write quickly.

The beauty's fox eyes bent into a shining line, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, you said that you have never had a man and a woman in so many years, and it seems that it has taken root all of a sudden, and good things have happened in every palace. Why……"

"Patta" the pen was thrown on the case, "My brother, can't you have a regular shape?" The emperor's voice was already slightly threatening.

The loyal beauty seemed to be frightened, she covered her mouth and shook her head.

The emperor finally picked up his pen in satisfaction and continued to review the memorial.Asked in a slightly deep voice: "Did those two old guys do anything?"

The Zhongshun beauty then put down her hand, showing a fox-like smile, she slid down her sapphire blue cloud pattern cloak, and said with a smile: "Those two old things are waiting for each other to move."

The emperor sneered and said: "If they don't move, I will let them move. Jiangnan is not at peace now, so we can't delay here any longer. The people I sent over didn't hear back. I'm afraid the situation over there is out of control." .”

Hearing this, Zhongshun's face was solemn, his eyes flashed cold, and even his voice was a little cold, "The old man's move is really ruthless. He deliberately left this remnant of evil back then, and now it is holding us back. There are Wang Ziteng and Feng Tang inside, and Wang Ziteng and Feng Tang outside. There is a small court in the south of the Yangtze River, hmph, the abacus is really ruthless."

The emperor sighed, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.

"In his eyes, he never regarded us as his sons..."

If you cared about even a little bit of kinship, you would never let Concubine Zhen harm the prince in the palace, and you would never watch the child in the mother's womb slowly pass away.Even such ruthless things have been done, what are these now?

"Imperial brother, I want you to go to the south of the Yangtze River. The power over there cannot be let go."

Zhongshun nodded solemnly, and said: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will not disgrace my mission. But..." The conversation changed, and he said with a smile: "It's just that this time I won't be able to catch up with the birth of the eldest son of the emperor. Brother, can you I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

A gleam of warmth flashed in the emperor's eyes, and a smile filled his warm face, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
