"Your ears are getting better and better."
Approaching, Xuanyuan Huang stretched out his hand and pinched Ling Zihan's ears, flipped through the thick stack of books in her hand, and scolded her with pity: "You should pay more attention to yourself, don't be too busy all the time."
Ling Zihan smiled and said nothing. She just stood up and helped him take off his robe, and told Liu Yun to serve tea. She waited until he sat down before asking, "Why are you back so early?"
"Today, my father went to the concubine Jia Gui again. I was too lazy to go to the concubine Jia Gui to listen to her chatter. I just gave the Queen Mother a greeting and came back." He reached out to smooth Ling Zihan's loose hair on her back, Xuanyuan Huang
His fingertips suddenly paused, his eyes turned slightly and he said: "By the way, the Imperial Grandmother is talking about you again, and asked you to stop by and see her when you go to check Kuhe's homework in a few days."
"I'm afraid it's more than just a look!" Ling Zihan snickered and glanced at Xuanyuan Huang, but then she remembered what happened at the family banquet that night.
At that time, Ling Zihan drank too much plum soup, and the Queen Mother thought she was pregnant, and even exaggeratedly announced that the imperial doctor had come to check for pulse. Fortunately, Princess Yu was around and talked a lot to ease the sudden sudden onset of the Queen Mother.
The joy and loss were just right, and there was no other choice.
People took advantage of it and said that Ling Zihan was wrong. After all, these two people were newly married, so they had to be suspicious if they got pregnant so soon. Moreover, the imperial doctor also said that if she was really pregnant, it would not be possible if it was within half a month.
The diagnosis must be clear, and this calmed the Queen Mother's mind.
But the Queen Mother became interested in this, and sent Sui'er and Yue'er every now and then to deliver tonic medicine to Ling Zihan, or asked Aunt Guifang to come over and explain to her some principles of men and women. This made Ling Zihan exhausted.
It's unbearable to have to deal with them with a smile even in the busy schedule. I really don't know if the Queen Mother sincerely cares about her, or if she only cares about the issue of heirs.
"You -" Xuanyuan Huang nodded her forehead, the smile on his lips flashed with the evil suspicion flowing in his eyes, and gradually converged, and said with a little doubt, "But, speaking of it, the emperor
Grandma does care a little about whether you are pregnant.
Passed. You see, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, and Eighth Brother's house all have pregnant women, especially the one in Seventh Brother's house, who is about to give birth, and the Imperial Grandmother didn't send anyone to express condolences. Otherwise.
, I will help you talk to the imperial grandmother and let her..."
"Don't!" Ling Zihan stretched out her hand to press Xuanyuan Huang's lips, looked at him and shook her head, "Perhaps you are overthinking. Grandma Huang is only a little concerned. After all, she is our mother's biological aunt.
You are naturally more affectionate, and you love me as much as you do."
"That's right, you can't always think bad things about people."
At this time, Liu Yun came in with a cup of tea. Ling Zihan took it and handed it to Xuanyuan Huang, then immediately ordered: "Liu Yun, go to the warehouse to bring a few gifts, take my post, and send someone to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Give it to Princess Yu."
Liu Yun had been following Ling Zihan for many years, but he still had this in mind, so he hurriedly responded and retreated.
"It's always good to have you at home." While drinking tea, Xuanyuan Huang praised Ling Zihan in a low voice.
Ling Zihan raised her chin and said with a smile: "How do you praise me? If I do a great thing in the future, what will you use to thank me?"
Xuanyuan Huang looked at her with an evil smile, put down the tea cup, and suddenly hugged her, using his strength to pull her into his arms, making her sit on his lap, and blew into her ear, gently
Say a few words.
Ling Zihan's face felt slightly hot, and she pushed him away quickly, scolding him for being "unruly", and then said: "Actually, I just heard that Prince Yu's Mansion was about to have a baby, so I sent him a gift card. Plus,
Princess Yu also helped me a lot at the last family dinner, and I always have to repay this favor."
Ling Zihan couldn't guess Princess Yu's original intention, so she didn't know. But no matter what the purpose was, she helped him after all. And Ling Zihan's recent actions also had her own purpose, whether it was to win over
, or being close to each other, she maintains her consistent style and maintains just the right amount of proportion.
"Everything in this family, big and small, is left to you. As long as you feel good about it, just do it without asking me." Xuanyuan Huang held Ling Zihan's hand, played with her fingertips, and massaged her gently.
, to relieve the pain caused by her recent excessive writing.
Ling Zihan turned her face, looked at him and said, "You are easy to talk to. Aren't you afraid that I will empty out your warehouse?" After the family dinner, she spent a lot of money, just between the sisters-in-law.
It's a big expense. What's more, there are women in the palace to take care of, so the money is like water.
However, there is finally a return.
"If I have this 'rich girl' who can make so much money next to me, will she care about such a small amount of money?" Xuanyuan Huang said teasingly, reaching out and tapping Ling Zihan's nose again, and then returned to his former self.
He said with an expression: "I have already said that you are in charge of the house. You can do whatever you want. Besides, you won't be able to move the warehouse in a short while. If it is really emptied, I will plunder another one for you.
!”
"Haha, what a big tone. After all, I inherited my father's... drunken beauty's knees. Haha, I heard that my father promoted Mu Jiaxiang to the title of noble concubine this morning, and the Mu family is going to be successful again!"
Laugh, Ling Zihan sighed, but it was clear how much joking and sarcasm there was in this sigh. The only thing missing was probably the respect for the noble concubine.
"Seven consecutive jumps, some are happy and some are worried." Xuanyuan Huang could see what Ling Zihan was thinking, and patted the back of her hand gently, "It seems that you will be favored even more. My father's drama,
Regardless of whether we can see through it or not, we have to follow it."
Ling Zihan raised her eyebrows slightly and said angrily: "Then I will definitely ask my father to get it back in the future. Anyway, you have to calculate some interest money. Even if there is no interest, you still have to give me some performance fees." Emperor Chen wanted to give it.
Mu Jiaxiang has made enemies. To intensify the relationship between Mu Jiaxiang and the imperial concubine, someone must praise Mu Jiaxiang. At this moment, the heads of the princes' families are waiting and watching. Ling
Zihan decided to be a pioneer, push first, and attract everyone to support Mu Jiaxiang. As Mu Jiaxiang's favor, this could better intensify the relationship between Mu Jiaxiang and the imperial concubine. I think.
After thinking for a while, Ling Zihan twisted her hair with her fingers, suddenly looked up at Xuanyuan Huang, and said, "Calm yourself sick, Yi, it's time for you to claim your illness."
Presumably, Emperor Chen's next move was to win over the hussar general of the Mu family.
And in any court, there will be a storm caused by this move.
Today, the promotion of Mu Jiaxiang is against the ancestral system, but Emperor Chen still ignores everyone's opinions and acts like he must be Mu Jiaxiang. Then there will definitely be a lot of commotion in the Mu family, and what the Mu family's Taifu said
It was Xuanyuan Huang who supported him, even if his granddaughter is now a noble concubine
, it is impossible to give birth to a child overnight. Therefore, Taifu Mu will still use the topic to find a job for Xuanyuan Huang to benefit. If Xuanyuan Huang is no longer upward at this moment, then the so-called good job,
Then it won't fall on his head.
"Qingqing and I have come up with something. Today we have handed over a note to my father, saying that I am sorry to be sick and will temporarily resign for a few days. I think this is something my father would like to hear, so he will not send anyone to verify it, and he will definitely give it a go."
Ling Zihan held his hand back and nodded. Before she could speak, Liu Yun's voice came from outside the door.
"Liu Yun, come in." After Liu Yun came in, Ling Zihan looked up at her and motioned for her to sit down and reply. "Are you all ready?"
"It's ready, just waiting for someone to send it to you after noon."
"Okay, today is the big day for Concubine Jiagui to be promoted to Concubine Jiagui. Please prepare two more gifts, one for Concubine Jiagui and one for General Hussar's Mansion. Among the gifts for Concubine Jiagui
, I want to add a little more of Fengyan Pavilion’s boudoir honey fragrance.” Both parties congratulated each other, and that honey fragrance was Ling Zihan’s little plan.
The fragrances produced by Fengyan Pavilion have always been best-selling, and the honey fragrance is the best choice for young women among the expensive fragrances. In addition to the precious materials, it also has a moral meaning - sweetness will lead to the birth of a child early.
On the surface, this is a blessing to congratulate Mu Jiaxiang, but in fact, it is for the imperial concubine to see, and it is also for the emperor Chen.
"Yes." Liu Yun didn't ask much. After answering, he didn't go out again. Instead, he leaned over and handed over a greeting card and said: "Miss, the prime minister is here again. He is asking to see the lady at the second gate."
"Are you asking to see me alone? It's more about that than anything else." Ling Zihan curled her lips and smiled, her coquettish eyes sparkling with a bright smile, but it was a little cold. She didn't accept the invitation, but just brushed her sleeves.
He said: "You still respond to him for the same reasons as before. If he comes again tomorrow, you will still be like this and I will not see you."
"Yes." This time, Liu Yun raised the corners of her lips and showed an imperceptible smile. However, because she had been stern for a long time, her sudden smile looked a little weird.
Seeing that there was nothing going on at Ling Zihan's side, Liu Yun took the invitation and retreated, doing things according to the rules.
Prime Minister Ling, who was standing on the second door of the wing, couldn't sit still. He stood up and pushed away the steward who was blocking him, and walked inside. He happened to meet Liu Yun who went to report, so he stopped and asked in a deep voice: "Princess.
Is there a proclamation?"
According to the rules, even if Ling Chenli is completely reluctant now, the ancestral family law cannot be abolished, and the national law cannot be violated. He still has to respectfully call his daughter princess, even to the favored female officials around her.
The servants are much more polite.
Liu Yun shook his head, leaned forward slightly and handed the greeting card back to Ling Chenli. He still looked at her face and said flatly in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing: "My princess is not feeling well and will not see guests for the time being."
"Still unwell? Has the princess been seen by the imperial doctor and how is her condition?" Hesitatingly, Emperor Chen frowned and asked continuously.
Liu Yun glanced at Ling Chenli's expression and said: "The princess didn't think it was troublesome, so she didn't summon the imperial doctor. The princess said she was just a little tired, sleepy, and had a loss of appetite. She would be fine in a few days, so the Prime Minister didn't have to
Worry."
When Prime Minister Ling heard this, how could he not be worried? He was very worried. Ling Zihan's condition was exactly the same as that of his eldest daughter who was now in disgrace. In this case, he must go back and think about it carefully.
Then she gave some more words of advice: "If the princess is like this, she should ask the imperial doctor to come and ask for a safe pulse. Miss Liuyun, my daughter has taken care of you for a long time, so you should also convey your father's care to me."
." Ling Chen immediately handed over a banknote. He didn't need to read the regulations to know that the amount was not small.
