Dote on the harem

"Your Majesty, it's true that Concubine Mu's womb is moving, but it's nothing to worry about, just prescribe a few medicines to recuperate." The imperial physician Ling said while wiping cold sweat.Why is the emperor so terrifying today!The air pressure is too low!

Yuwen Junjue nodded, and waved Suoxi and the imperial physician to order to grab the medicine, and the air pressure around his body rose a little.

Gently covering Mu Zishu's lower abdomen with his hands through the quilt, he asked softly, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Mu Zishu shook his head with a smile, stretched out a hand to cover Yuwen Junjue's hand caressing his lower abdomen, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little uncomfortable."

Yuwen Junjue held Mu Zishu's hand in his backhand, brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly, and then put his hand in the quilt, "Sleep for a while."

Mu Zishu was indeed tired, he nodded and slowly fell asleep under Yuwen Junjue's gaze.

After that day, the big white tiger really lived in the Qingyue Hall, and Mu Zishu named it Shengfeng, which means the tiger and the tiger give birth to the wind.

Mu Zishu didn't know how many servants of the concubine who were convicted that day. Considering that Shengfeng is now Mu Zishu's big pet, Yuwen Junjue didn't feed those people to the tiger in the end.As for what method was used to deal with those people in the end?No one knew, only that there were no traces of those people in the palace.

After that day, Yuwen Junjue never stayed overnight in Qingyue Palace, but just came to visit occasionally.It is said that the emperor stayed overnight in Princess Manxuan's Xuanlu Hall every night, and since then there has been another powerful enemy in the harem.

For these things, Mu Zishu chose not to listen, not to ask, or not to think. Although he behaved indifferently, he could not remain indifferent.Now, he can only devote all his thoughts to Yuwen Junjue's birthday gift.

"My lord, do you give a jade pendant on the emperor's birthday?" Wen Lan watched Mu Zishu fiddling with a piece of jade all day long these days with twitching corners of her eyes.

Wenmei gave Wenlan a disgusted look, "What do you know, this jade pendant was carved and polished by the young master himself, and the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy."

Mu Zishu curled his lips slightly, and did not answer, but only concentrated on carving and polishing the jade pendant in his hand.Gifts and the like are only meaningful if you make them yourself, and to that person, only things made by yourself can be called the only ones. What other things can he not get?

"Hmph! What affection do you want! Ever since Princess Manxuan came, the emperor seldom comes to our Qingyue Palace. They say that the emperor is heartless and heartless, and it is true!"

"Qianlan! What nonsense are you talking about!" Wenmei scolded Wenlan angrily.

The smile on Mu Zishu's face faded, and the tool in his hand almost hurt his hand.

Wen Lan felt very distressed when she saw it, and said quickly, "My lord, I'm sorry."

"My lord, don't listen to Wen Lan's nonsense, we still have a little prince, the emperor must still care about you!"

"It's nothing," Mu Zishu forced a smile, and continued with the work in hand, "It's not our turn to comment on how the emperor is the emperor's business, so stop talking nonsense in the future, you will be killed if you hear about it." of the head."

Wenlan Wenmei quickly shut up, and quietly watched the young master polish and carve the jade pendant bit by bit.It is not an easy task to make a jade pendant, and it takes a lot of effort just to engrave the characters.

"My lord, let's change a gift. It's late at night. Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday. It's too late."

"No, it can be done overnight."

The two maids were anxious, "Young Master, this is impossible, how can you stay up late when you are pregnant! Your body will not be able to bear it!"

Mu Zishu was indeed a little tired, but he didn't want to give up, "It's okay, it's just tonight, it's just a little bit better, it's a pity to let go."

"My lord, you'd better go to rest, and you almost let the slaves and Wenlan get along."

"Yes, son, we've been looking at it for a few days, and it can be fixed!"

Mu Zishu smiled, still didn't stop what he was doing, and said: "It's different for you to make meanings. You go to sleep first, I'm fine."

Wenlan Wenmei really had nothing to do with him, so he had to stay up all night with him, and at least he could serve him some tea or water.Mu Zishu didn't say anything else, it's better to be with someone than to be alone.

The next day, the palace became lively.Although Yuwen Junjue said that it is not a big deal, it is still necessary to have a family banquet. Besides, the envoys of the Wanqi Kingdom have not left yet, so it can't be too shabby.

In order to receive the envoys, several ministers from the DPRK and China were also accompanying them, including three heavyweight ministers, Si Jin from the left, Gu Sabai from the right, and Yuan Rong, the military commander.

To avoid the monotony of the birthday banquet, Suoxi specially arranged a martial arts competition before the birthday banquet, in the form of fighting, everyone can participate, just for fun and not for winning.

The arena is placed in the imperial garden.The imperial seat of Yuwen Junjue was facing the ring, and the one sitting on Yuwenjunjue's left was of course the mother of a country, Queen Yuan Yan, and the one sitting on his right was Princess Manxuan. At this time, Concubine Xuan was just out of respect for the guests.In the future, there will be a banquet or something. Just being a concubine is not enough to be an equal to the queen.

The rest of the concubines sat next to the queen in turn. Concubine Wen Gui was the closest to the queen, and the one who sat closest to the arena was Mu Zishu who had been in the palace for the shortest time.As for the rank below the imperial concubine, they are not eligible to participate in the banquet.

Concubine Xuan was followed by a few envoys, followed by some ministers of the court, followed by Si Jin on the left, Gu Sabai on the right, Marshal of Bingma and others. This was also out of respect for the guests.

(In short, the emperor, queen, and concubines sit in a row facing the ring facing south; the concubines sit in a row facing west; the ministers sit in a row facing east, facing the row of concubines, forming a door frame type.)

Wanqi country is very martial arts, and many women also know a little martial arts, so they are very interested in this martial arts competition.

The people from the Yuwen Dynasty were the first to compete on stage. The envoys of Wanqi seemed to want to find out their moves, but they did not challenge on stage after a few rounds.It was only after that that I became more interested, and challenged each other on stage one by one.

At the banquet, the concubine is only allowed to bring one entourage, so only Wenmei followed Mu Zishu.Mu Zishu was sitting closest to the ring, and the sounds of fighting on the stage kept coming and going. He hadn't slept all night, but at this moment, his head ached from the stimulation.

"My lord, are you feeling unwell?" Wenmei asked in a low voice.

Mu Zishu shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just a headache from arguing."

"Maidservant help you rub it?"

"No, don't lose your etiquette in front of envoys from other countries."

Sitting on the throne, Yuwen Junjue could see Mu Zishu at a glance, frowned indistinctly, and turned his head to give Gu Sabai a look.

Gu Sabai understood, the emperor wanted to make a quick decision.An envoy once again defeated a certain minister of the Yuwen Dynasty, Gu Sabai smiled evilly and flew onto the stage.

"My lord, I have learned!"

"Master Gu, please!"

After all, the two started fighting in an instant, not politely letting you let me in like the martial arts competition just now, but moving fiercely, the speed is dazzling.The envoy was obviously very satisfied with the situation, this is the real contest!

Gu Sabai's martial arts are extremely high, with the strength of one person, he defeated several masters in a row.Wan Qi is a martial artist, and he is not embarrassed and angry when his martial arts are not as good as others. Instead, he accepts it readily and praises Gu Sabai as a master.

"The prime minister of your country is superb in martial arts, we are willing to bow down!"

Gu Sa was complacent, and said with a smile: "My lord envoy can't say that, our dynasty still has a left minister who is only literary but not martial, isn't it, Xiao Jin?"

Si Jin glanced at him, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

The hairs on Gu Sabai's back stood on end, and he quickly became serious.

"Master Gu Xiang is so powerful, please let me ask for advice."

Laughter sounded like silver bells, and the purple skirt fluttered, and Concubine Xuan floated onto the stage, without giving Gu Sabai a chance to react, she attacked directly, with extremely clean and neat moves.

Gu Sabai was almost captured by her, so she quickly fought back, asking Yuwenjun's tactics while hitting her eyes.

Yuwen Junjue hooked his lips charmingly, and suddenly got up from the throne, flying onto the stage in an instant with superior lightness skills to take Gu Sabai's place and fight Concubine Xuan.

Gu Sabai let out a sigh of relief and turned to step off the stage. This woman is really good at martial arts. If I really fight her, I'm afraid I'll have to fight hundreds of rounds.But it's different when the emperor comes up in person, it's just a matter of minutes for that unreasonable man with high martial arts skills.

Yuwen Junjue came to the stage in person and caused a sensation in the audience.The envoys felt that their princess was being valued, and they were very happy, cheering for their princess loudly; the ministers in the court had never seen the emperor make a move, and it was so powerful, they all felt that the image of the emperor was getting taller; One is being fascinated by the emperor's heroic appearance, and the other is worrying about a powerful enemy coming to the harem.

Mu Zishu didn't pay much attention to the situation on the stage just now, but at this moment, he saw that Concubine Xuan was really beautiful and charming, and she was even more suitable for fighting Yuwen Junjue, such a woman might win his heart even more!

Yu Wenjun's tactic originally had the idea of ​​a quick fight, and at this time he didn't want to fight more with Concubine Xuan, so he shot sharply. After a few rounds, he ended up with the posture of grabbing Concubine Xuan's neck and putting it in his arms.

"Aifei is very skillful."

Concubine Xuan instantly changed the fierce aura just now, and said with a coquettish smile: "The emperor is really bad, the concubine can't compare with the emperor, the emperor will not say let the concubine."

Yuwen Junjue smiled and let Concubine Xuan go down the stage with her, "I just can't wait to see the presents."

Wan Teng's envoy was in a very good mood, and he laughed and said: "The emperor is right. There is no one who doesn't expect a gift on his birthday. We Wan Teng sent Princess Manxuan, who made us proud. It's time to see the gifts from the adults and ladies." ,Hahaha."

Yuwen Junjue sat back on the throne, and glanced down, "Then how about the concubines and qings, how about opening the eyes of the envoys?"

Gu Sabai was the first to stand up, holding a brocade box in his hand, "I don't dare to take it as an eye-opener, but I dug up my father's treasure house to dig out this detoxification luminous cup. Drinking water from this cup can put away 120 hearts, no matter what kind of poison enters this cup, it will be purified, what does the emperor think?"

Yuwen Junjue narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Things are good things, but it's not a good thing for Gu Aiqing to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Gu Sabai hurriedly laughed: "Isn't my father's is my minister's, it can't be called borrowing flowers to present Buddha, ahaha."

Si Jin glanced at him impatiently, got up and took a step forward, "I heard that the emperor loves playing chess very much recently, so I present a pair of jade chess. This chess board is emerald jade, the white pieces are white jade, and the black stones are black jade. They are extremely delicate and feel even better. .”

Yuwen Junjue took a look at the chess set, and it was exactly the same as Mu Zishu's set, so it happened to be the same as Zishu's set, very good!

Mu Zishu also heard Si Jin's words, thinking that maybe it was the same as his own, but his lower abdomen was aching, so he couldn't distract himself from looking at the chessboard.

"I offer ten night pearls."

"I offer a pair of thousand-year-old ginseng."

"minister……"

Mu Zishu endured the pain in his abdomen, fine sweat was already oozing from his forehead, and the voices of those ministers and concubines offering gifts seemed to be buzzing, which could not attract his attention at all. It was not until the surroundings became silent that Mu Zishu realized that Everyone is looking at themselves.

"Young master, it's time for you to offer a gift, what's the matter with you?"

Mu Zishu shook his head, took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and stepped out.

"Zishu, offer a jade pendant."

As soon as Mu Zishu's words came out, everyone looked at him in disbelief.

The queen is the mother of a country, and she has the most say before the envoys. She seems worried but asks sarcastically: "Young Master Mu, why did you only send a jade pendant for the emperor's birthday?"

Although some concubines didn't say anything, they laughed in private, while the ministers were secretly surprised.

Wenmei wanted to defend the young master, but the young master just lowered his eyes and said nothing, as a court lady, she has no right to intervene.

Yuwen Junjue glanced at Mu Zishu, and suddenly his face darkened, "Ask Mei! Take your young master back!"

Wen Mei felt wronged and resentful, but the young master did it all night, why is the emperor like this!

No matter how upset I was, there was no room for a maid to interrupt here, Wenmei had no choice but to take the young master back, but after getting closer, he found that the young master was pale, and one hand seemed to be secretly protecting his lower abdomen.

Wen Mei was shocked, it turned out that the emperor saw that the young master was not feeling well, so he said that!Grateful for seeing Yuwen Junjue, Wenmei helped Mu Zishu, who endured the pain and said nothing, and left the Imperial Garden.

The crowd only drove Mu Zishu away when the emperor was unhappy with such a gift, but they didn't see Suo Xi also quietly left following the emperor's gaze.
