The next day, the Emperor brought Zhi Ran to admire chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden.
"It's already early winter, and the chrysanthemums are about to wither.”The emperor looked at the chrysanthemums in the garden and said with his head drooping.
"Yes, the plum blossoms will bloom soon.”Zhi Ran said as she stroked a chrysanthemum.
" Jin Qiuju, Wangyue Ming-The flower doesn't say a word, I don't say a word, she knows who I miss-" A singing voice came from not far away. The voice was resentful and a little hurt.
"Who's singing?" The Emperor and Zhi Ran walked into the depths of the Chrysanthemum Garden and asked.
At this moment, Guan Ling came out with Princess He Xiao in her arms. "Greetings, Your Majesty." Guan Ling saluted the Emperor.”
"ChenQie pays her respects to Consort Dun." Zhi Ran saluted Guan Ling.
"Get up." The Emperor looked at Guan Ling holding the child and asked,"Why did you bring her out?" You've just given birth, so you should rest well in the house! It's late autumn outside and the dew is heavy. You have to take care of your filial piety!”
"ChenQie heard that the chrysanthemums in the Chrysanthemum Garden were about to wither, so I wanted to bring Hexiao out to take a look. It just so happened that the weather was fine, and ChenQie was lucky to meet the emperor!”Guan Ling rolled her eyes at Zhi Ran and said," When the Emperor left yesterday, Hexiao cried so hard. Later, ChenQie found that as long as ChenQie sang, Hexiao would not cry anymore, so she came out for a walk and sang for her.”
"Your voice is good, I like it too.”The Emperor praised and then reached out to carry Princess He Xiao. Perhaps the princess sensed that the emperor had arrived, she actually laughed. The Emperor was very happy and said,"He Xiao is happy to see me!" Alright! I'll have lunch at your place today. Ran 'er, you can go back!"
"Yes." Zhi Ran's heart ached, but she could only bow and send him off." Farewell, Emperor. Farewell, Consort Dun."”
Guan Ling held onto the Emperor's arm and turned around to look at Zhi Ran. She sneered and turned around to leave. The Emperor only cared about making Princess He Xiao happy and didn't even look back.
In fact, Guan Ling didn't meet the Emperor by chance. Last night, she heard that the Emperor was staying in Yanxi Palace and was furious. This morning, when she heard Feng Shinan say that the Emperor and his concubine were visiting the Imperial Garden, Guan Ling ignored the nanny's obstruction and insisted on carrying Princess Hexiao to the Imperial Garden.
Zhi Ran sighed, shook her head, and returned to Yanxi Palace with Fei Xing's help.
"Let's go to Jingren Palace." Zhi Ran said.
"Greetings, Imperial Concubine Xian." Zhi Ran bowed.
"Get up. Jinrong, give the 12th Prince to Nanny!”Imperial Concubine Xian said as she handed the Twelfth Prince to Jin Rong. She turned to look at Zhi Ran and asked," What's wrong with Sister today?" He didn't look too good. Didn't he hear that the Emperor was staying in Yanxi Palace yesterday? Could it be another Chang Zai or someone who had agreed to sleep with him?”
Zhi Ran shook her head and said," The Emperor stayed at Bie Qie's place yesterday. However, this morning in the imperial garden, Consort Dun was singing with Princess Hexiao in her arms. The Emperor heard it and went to Yi Kun Palace."”
Imperial Concubine Xian smiled and said," It's almost winter. Consort Dun actually carried the newborn princess out. She didn't even care about her own health. It seems that she has ulterior motives."”Zhi Ran nodded. Imperial Concubine Xian held Zhiran's hand and said," Don't worry, sister. The Emperor only likes Hexiao. When Yongzhi was just born, the Emperor often came to visit me. But now that Hexiao is here, he doesn't come either. If you had a dragon descendant last night, would you be afraid that the Emperor wouldn't go to your place?"”
"But I don't know…"
"Don't worry, you're still young. Are you afraid that there won't be any dragon descendants in the future?”
Zhi Ran lowered her head and laughed.
Ruoqin came to Yanxi Palace to find Zhi Ran, but met Narcissus said Zhi Ran didn't come back, wanted to ask for boredom, so she went back to the palace.
"Jiejie has less contact with bengong now.”Ruoqin said to Guxue," Sister must have gone to Imperial Concubine Xian's place. She's always looking for Imperial Concubine Xian. That's true. She's a noble consort, so she might be able to help her sister one day. As for me, I'm just a noble. I've been out of favor for so many years. Who would think highly of me? Isn't it just singing? Who wouldn't? Come, let's go to the Imperial Garden and sing!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky turned cloudy. Not long after, it started snowing. This was the first snow of winter. Ruoqin looked up at the sky. Gu Xue said,""Master, let's go back! "It's snowing, don't catch a cold…" After saying that, Gu Xue looked at Ruoqin without any reaction.
"Why? Even the heavens aren't helping me? I want to go to the imperial garden to sing, but it's snowing! Why was it a sunny day when Wang Guanling sang?!”Ruoqin's tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Snowflakes fell on her face. The hot tears mixed with the cold snow made her feel extremely bitter. Guxue's heart ached when she saw this. She quickly helped Ruoqin back to the palace carefully.
"Master…"
"Go and ask if the Emperor is having dinner with Wang Guanling tonight!”Ruoqin said as she placed her hand on the table.
" Yes, the Emperor is indeed at Consort Dun's place tonight. I just saw a few eunuchs carrying food boxes and heading towards Yi Kun Palace…" Guxue handed a cup of hot tea to Ruoqin and said," Master, don't be anxious. The Emperor is mostly targeting the Tenth Princess. When one of the concubines is pregnant again, the Emperor will not go to Consort Dun's place."”
" That's right…Everyone can have children…" Ruo Qin put down her tea and said," Anyone who has a child can be promoted, even if the child is not born yet! But bengong…will never be able to give birth to a child…the emperor will never promote me again…"
"Master, don't be anxious. When Consort Dun loses favor, you will definitely be favored!”Gu Xue consoled.
A month later, as Imperial Concubine Xian had expected, Zhi Ran became pregnant. Wei Xuanyun kneeled down and kowtowed after helping Zhi Ran treat her pulse,""Congratulations, Your Imperial Concubine! Your concubine is pregnant." Imperial Concubine Xian and Ruoqin happened to be present. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to hear such good news.
"Quickly go and tell the Emperor!" Ruoqin said immediately.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"That's great, you see, just like BenGong said, you really got pregnant after that time. This time, he had to protect it well. He definitely couldn't lose it like last time!”Imperial Concubine Xian instructed," From now on, all your meals will be prepared in your own kitchen. You are not allowed to take any tocoly-calming medicine from the imperial kitchen. You will cook it in your own kitchen. Shuixian or Feixing will keep an eye on the process. Wei Xuanyun will have to look over the medicine first. Do you understand?"”
"Yes."
Imperial Concubine Xian turned to look at Zhi Ran and said,""You have to take good care of yourself. BenGong will come to see you often.”
"Thank you for your concern, Empress." Zhi Ran bowed and thanked him.
"Emperor, look, Hexiao already knows how to sit.”Guan Ling said with a smile. She knew that the Emperor loved filial piety.
"Yeah, Hexiao is really amazing." The Emperor smiled and carried Kazuhiko up from the bed.
"Emperor, Imperial Physician Wei Xuanyun requests an audience.”Yuan Qing came to report.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Yuan Qing invited Wei Xuanyun into the palace. Wei Xuanyun walked up to the Emperor and knelt down,""This lowly official greets the Emperor, greets Consort Dun.”
"Get up." The Emperor hugged Hexiao and didn't look him in the eye." What's the matter?”
"Replying to the emperor, your concubine niangniang is pregnant.”
"Really?" The Emperor's sudden surprise scared Hexiao to tears. This scene made Guan Ling very unhappy. The emperor gave Princess He Xiao to Nanny and was about to stay at Zhi Ran's place.
"Your Majesty!" Guan Ling said coquettishly,"Look at you. When you heard that your concubine was pregnant, you scared Hexiao to tears. How can the emperor be so fond of the new and dislike the old!"”
"Zhen is happy. You bring filial piety and Zhen will go and see Ran 'er.”After saying that, he tidied his clothes and rushed to Yanxi Palace.
" Your Highness…" Che Xuan gave Nanny a look, indicating for her to carry the crying princess out. She then walked over to Guan Ling, who had a blank expression on her face.
" The Emperor has left…He doesn't want me anymore, not even Hexiao…" Guan Ling's eyes were filled with tears as she said," Why…Why are there always people who want to snatch me away?”
"Empress…please calm down…"
"Luo Zhiran! From now on! BenGong and you cannot live under the same sky!" Guan Ling roared at the sky,"Call Fan Yuancheng over!" Bengong will never let her give birth to this child!”
"Empress! Empress, please calm down!" Che Xuan comforted Guan Ling," This time, the tocolopy medicine will no longer be brewed in the imperial kitchen. It will be brewed separately in the small kitchen of Yanxi Palace! Have you forgotten what the emperor said when your concubine miscarried a few years ago? The palace doesn't have a small kitchen, so the personal palace maid personally brewed it, so this time your tocolopy medicine was personally brewed by this servant!”
"Then you mean that bengong has no chance at all? He could only watch helplessly as Luo Zhiran climbed up?”Guan Ling glared at Che Xuan and said," It wasn't easy for bengong to become a consort and finally have a higher position than her. She actually climbed up! Tell me, what should bengong do next? What if she gave birth to a son and he became the Crown Prince? Then wouldn't bengong be finished?"
"Empress, please rest assured. Since ancient times, the wise have not been established. Right now, the emperor valued the fifth prince the most. Even if your concubine niangniang gave birth to a son, such a young emperor could not see whether he was virtuous or capable, so how could he let him be the crown prince?”Che Xuan's words made Guan Ling feel much better.
"Then bengong will take it as a blessing for filial piety and let her off this time!”Guan Ling stood up and said," Go to the imperial kitchen and see if they have prepared dinner for me. I can only have dinner alone tonight…" Guan Ling said as she looked at the door with a resentful look.
" The Emperor has arrived!" Hearing Yuan Qing's report, everyone in Yanxi Palace came to the courtyard.
"Long live the Emperor." Everyone knelt down to welcome him.
"Get up." The Emperor walked in front of Zhi Ran and pulled her, saying," When Zhen heard that you were pregnant, he rushed over. In the future, your medicine and meals must be paid special attention."”
"Don't worry emperor, these ChenQie have already ordered people to arrange everything.”Imperial Concubine Xian said.
The Emperor nodded and pulled Zhi Ran into the inner hall. He then turned to Imperial Concubine Xian and Ruoqin and said,""You guys can go back."
"Yes." Imperial Concubine Xian and Ruoqin bowed and left.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
