The Emperor took Zhi Ran's hand and said,"I don't know why, but every time I come to your place, I can relax like this. You are like a painting, or a piece of scenery. Every time I come to your side, I don't have any worries." To the Empress, I respect her as the Empress. Although Imperial Concubine Xian is also dignified, now that I have Yongzhi, I cannot rest in peace. The only ones that can make me feel comfortable are you and Dun Pin.”
When Zhi Ran heard the Emperor put her and Guan Ling together, her heart ached, but she could only force a smile and say,"Your Majesty's words are too serious."
"You're different from Dun Pin. Dun Pin is charming, and I can only see her when I'm in a good mood. When I see her when I'm in a bad mood, I feel that she's pretentious. As for you, no matter how good or bad your mood is, as long as zhen sees you, zhen feels that all my worries are gone.”The Emperor smiled lightly.
Zhi Ran smiled knowingly and said,"ChenQie will play a song for you again…"
"Did the Emperor go to the Empress 'place or Imperial Concubine Xian's place tonight?”Guan Ling asked.
Che Xuan was massaging Guan Ling's shoulders and said softly,""Replying to the consort, I went to your concubine consort…"
" What did you say?!" Guan Ling turned to look at Che Xuan and asked," Why did the Emperor go to her place?! They were indeed not easy to deal with! She had thought that Luo Zhiran did not have any strength to compete with BenGong, but now why was the Emperor still going to her place? Now that he had Qing Pin, Ling Pin was starting to play tricks again! What should we do…"
"Empress, don't disturb the fetus!" Che Xuan lightly hammered Guan Ling's shoulder and said," No matter how much the Emperor likes them, they are ultimately not as good as you. Think about it, you have an heir in your stomach!”
"Yes, bengong still has an imperial heir." Guan Ling panted slightly and tried to calm herself down. She rubbed her belly and said,"You must work hard and be a brother!" This way, when you become the emperor, Mother can be carefree!”
A few months later, Guan Ling suddenly had a stomachache. Fan Yuan learned that Guan Ling was about to give birth. Yikun Palace immediately called for the midwife who delivered the baby. Fan Yuancheng knelt outside the bedroom and prepared the prescription. The news of Guan Ling giving birth immediately caused a sensation in the six palaces. Even the Empress Dowager had come to Yi Kun Palace to wait for her good news. The Emperor had been waiting for her even earlier.
Not long after, the sound of a baby crying came from the bedroom.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. It's a princess!" After the midwife finished speaking, she carried the child out.
" Why, why is she…a princess…" Guan Ling asked weakly. Even though she was soft, Che Xuan could hear her frustration.
"Niangniang, it's good that mother and daughter are safe. Don't blame yourself.”Che Xuan wiped the sweat off Guan Ling's forehead with a handkerchief.
The Emperor was overjoyed to receive Guan Ling's child, and the Empress Dowager couldn't stop smiling. "Yuan Qing! Pass on my decree, make Concubine Dun Concubine Dun! Give me jewelry!"
"Yes."
Hearing Guan Ling's promotion, Zhi Ran's heart clenched. Although she knew that the Emperor wasn't hers alone, she was still a little jealous of Guan Ling because she had a child with the Emperor. Even though she was just a princess, although the Emperor had repeatedly praised her as the 'Clear Water Hibiscus,' she was really 'one that could be seen from afar but not played with.' Even when the Emperor had come to Yanxi Palace recently, he had most likely only spoken to her about her feelings. After that, he would either return to Yangxin Palace or go straight to sleep. How could he have children like this?
Even if Zhi Ran knew everything, she could not say anything. The only thing he could do was to have some fun between Imperial Concubine Xian and Ruoqin and forget the pain of loneliness. Zhi Ran took a deep breath and looked at the Emperor and Empress Dowager's smiles. Her heart felt even worse.
"Consort Dun needs to recuperate. You can all go back.”The Empress Dowager hugged the Tenth Princess and said.
"Yes." Everyone returned to the palace.
"Niangniang, look how cute the Tenth Princess is!”Che Xuan said as she carried the Tenth Princess to Guan Ling.
"Her eyes and eyebrows are like yours.”The Emperor sat by Guan Ling's bed and said.
After coming out of Yi Kun Palace, Zhi Ran felt her heart was filled with anxiety, so she said to Fei Xing,"Let's take a walk in the Imperial Garden. BenGong's heart is in a mess.”
In the imperial garden, everything was withered and autumn was in full swing. Zhi Ran sat on a rock and watched the falling flowers cover the water surface.
"I knew you were in a bad mood."
Zhi Ran turned around and saw Ruoqin behind her. Ruoqin gestured for Guxue and Fei Xing to leave before she sat down on a rock and said,""Now that she has become Consort Dun, she will be even more proud. If her elder sister had agreed to let her younger sister let her lose the child in her belly, she would not have had the trouble today.”
"Bengong has always told you to be kind, what's the point of competing with an unborn child.”Zhi Ran frowned and looked at Ruoqin as if she had never known this woman before. "The Ruoqin in my eyes is good at singing and dancing, gentle and virtuous, but why is she so vicious? You have to go to the Treasure Hall and recite scriptures to calm your impetuous heart.”
"Elder sister is right, younger sister knows her mistake.”Ruoqin said," Sister is just afraid. Wang Guanling has always been arrogant and domineering in front of us. She is cautious in front of the Empress and Imperial Concubine Xian, and she is charming and charming in front of the Emperor. How could his sister not be wary of such a fickle person?”
"Defending is one thing, harming is another.”Zhi Ran held Ruoqin's hand and said," Remember not to do this again! If the matter was exposed, the emperor would punish him severely. Noble Shun was the best example.”
Ruoqin nodded and got up." Have a good rest, sister. I'll go back first."”After saying that, he bowed and left. Leaving Zhi Ran behind, she looked at Ruoqin's departing figure and sighed softly.
"Why does Master hate Consort Dun so much? " Although Consort Dun used to treat us so viciously, she's pregnant now. She won't do anything to us…" Guxue asked Ruoqin on the way back to the palace.
"BenGong knows." Ruoqin stopped and looked straight ahead." But why is it her?!" Bengong can also sing and dance! Bengong has just entered the palace and is a Chang Zai like her! But why was it her? Now that she has become a consort, I'm just a small noble! Every time after she fell out of favor, the emperor would favor her again, but why didn't bengong! Even if my sister doesn't allow it, I won't let Wang Guanling have it easy!”
Ruoqin's voice became louder and louder, and she even sounded like she was about to cry. Gu Xue was so scared that she looked around and covered Ruoqin's mouth with a handkerchief. She lowered her voice and said,""Master, you can lower your voice! In a while, people would hear it! This is disrespectful!" After saying that, he quickly helped Ruoqin back to Scenic Yang Palace.
In Yi Kun Palace, the Emperor sat by Guan Ling's bed and said,"She looks like you. She'll definitely be a beauty when she grows up!”
A smile appeared on Guan Ling's pale face as she said in a weak voice,"Emperor, please give her a name…"
"Why don't we call it 'Hexiao'? Ling 'er, what do you think? The Princess is of the generation with the word 'he'. Zhen hopes that she will respect filial piety in the future, so let's call it' hexiao.'”The Emperor looked at the Tenth Princess in his arms and said.
"Yes…Thank you for the name, Your Majesty."
Zhi Ran returned to Yanxi Palace and sat on the couch. The Water Deity carried a cup of tea and said,"Your Highness must be tired today. Have some tea."”After saying that, he handed the tea to Zhi Ran.
Zhi Ran shook her head and frowned as she leaned on the table and said,"I really envy Consort Dun. Now that she has a son, I believe the emperor will visit her more often in the future.”
"Niangniang, the days ahead are still long, you don't need to worry.”Fei Xing consoled," Besides, Consort Dun only gave birth to a princess. It's nothing."”Zhi Ran sighed and said nothing.
"Bengong is tired, let's rest for a while…"
"Empress? Empress! Wake up!"
Zhi Ran was woken up by Water Deity's urging,""What's wrong?"
"Niangniang, you slept for half a day! Eunuch Yuan just sent word that the emperor flipped your green card tonight! Get up and get ready…"
" Is that so..." Zhi Ran lazily came out from under the blanket. Water Deity put a piece of clothing on her and Zhi Ran saw that there was still food on the table.
"Fei Xing! Go and help the Empress heat up the dishes before eating!”Water Deity said as she helped Zhi Ran change her clothes, then helped her sit in front of the dressing table.
"What is the Empress going to dress up like tonight?”Water Deity asked.
"Go and help BenGong change into Shu brocade pajamas. Then bring me the azure flag dress BenGong wore when she entered the palace. Remember to light the incense when you go out…"
"Yes."
"The emperor has arrived!"
When the Emperor stepped into the main hall of Yanxi Palace, he couldn't help but sigh."Why is your place so fragrant today?”Zhi Ran was nowhere to be seen. Looking into the bedroom, there were only layers of gauze.
The Emperor didn't say anything and slowly opened the layers of curtains. When he reached the bedroom, he saw Zhi Ran combing her hair in front of the dressing mirror. The face reflected in the bronze mirror was almost the same as eight years ago. Between Zhi Ran's eyebrows, she still looked like she did back then.
" Hibiscus in clear water…" The Emperor couldn't help but say," You are really like a painting, a poem. Every time I see you…"
"Your Majesty!" Zhi Ran stopped him, then turned around and walked in front of the Emperor." The lotus flower in Qingshui also has a time to bloom. The Emperor is always immersed in ChenQie from back then and keeps a respectful distance from ChenQie. "Little did she know that even the most beautiful hibiscus needs the warmth of the sun…" After saying that, Zhi Ran pulled out the hairpin on the head of the flag one by one. In an instant, her black hair poured down.
The Emperor looked at her without saying anything. He just stared at her as if he was looking at a flower blooming.
Zhi Ran slowly unbuttoned her uniform, revealing her pink Shu brocade undergarments. Then, she walked in front of the Emperor and laid on his chest, saying,""Emperor, are you willing to stay with ChenQie tonight?”
" I'm willing to stay with you for the rest of my life…" With that, he carried Zhi Ran up and onto the bed.
"The emperor went to your concubine consort's place today.”Guxue lit a lamp for Ruoqin.
"As long as she doesn't go to Wang Guanling's place…Once she loses her favor, I can think of a way to make sure she doesn't get favored for the rest of her life!”Ruoqin said fiercely," Have you prepared the medicine that BenGong asked you to prepare?”
"This servant is ready."
"Alright, then find an opportunity to put the medicine in her diet. BenGong heard that the emperor wants to build a small canteen in Yi Kun palace, if so, it will be difficult for us to do it, you must complete it in these few days!”
"Yes, this servant understands." Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
