Chapter 16 Worry

The emperor has not made a decision for a long time, and Concubine Yu, Xiao, has always been uneasy. Compared to her brother's recklessness and greed, her views on the current court are more accurate, so she does not only focus on the prestige. The emperor has always been a throne of crown prince, and has not even mentioned the reinstatement of the queen, which is not a good sign in any case. Since ancient times, there are many favored concubines in the harem, but they rarely have a good ending. As smart as she is naturally not blinded by the favor in front of her. Only by ascending to the throne of the queen and then holding her son to the throne is the greatest wish of a concubine in the harem.

However, Feng Wuxi's actions disappointed her. Perhaps because she had been spoiling, Feng Wuxi now lost his temper in the mansion for something unhappy, and he also complained about not having any errands. After a while, it could not help but reach the emperor's ears. Although the emperor did not have an attack in person, the clever Xiao had already seen the deep dissatisfaction in the Supreme's eyes. Is it inappropriate to completely placing the treasure on his beloved young son? This thought appeared in Xiao's heart for the first time, after all, she had another outstanding son.

On this day, the emperor was lucky to Lingbo Palace again. Such frequent favor made other concubines very jealous. However, given that Xiao's power in the harem was growing, no one dared to doubt it, so he could only mutter a few words behind his back. Facing the holy family, Xiao had long lost the spirit of showing off from time to time. Apart from flattery, he never dared to ask too much. After all, the emperor was old and things were not decided now. If there was any accident just because of her temporary arbitrary arbitrariness, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.

After a while, both sides squinted their eyes with satisfaction and remembered their thoughts from left to right. However, when the emperor saw Xiao's uneasy appearance, he couldn't help but reach out to caress his beloved concubine's beautiful hair like a waterfall, and asked softly: "Riyi, you seem to have something to worry about? Every time I come here recently, you always look absent-minded. Don't you like me to disturb your purity frequently?"

Xiao was shocked and his body stiffened for a while. After thinking for a while, he realized that the emperor was joking, but he still broke out in cold sweat. She complained coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I have been serving you for so many years. You are actually making such jokes. Didn't you deliberately want me to look good?" She twisted her waist, and her slender hands were already on the emperor's body. "The sweet rain and dew are all the kindness of heaven. I am already the first concubine in the harem. How dare I be dissatisfied? But when I remembered Wuhen's incident just now, I was a little lost, which made the emperor laugh."

Although it would be a shame to talk about his son in this lingering time, the emperor suddenly became energetic and still called his beloved concubine's nickname. "Li Yi, you are still the same as you always think of your son so seriously in your heart. It turns out that I am not a good father?" The emperor teased half-truely, "But now you seem to value Wuhen more. Why do you feel that Wuhen is not satisfied?"

This sentence was somewhat profound. Xiao did not dare to answer easily. He bit his lip for a while before then lowered his head and replied: "I can't hide my little thoughts from the emperor. Wuxi is really ignorant. I have spoiled him before." Seeing the emperor's thoughtful look, she confirmed her worries more and more. "Now it seems that Wuhen is becoming more mature. Both the director and the person are far better than Wuxi. I was also misunderstood back then, but now I have to make up for it but I can't find the feeling."

The emperor heard Xiao's implicit voice and his face suddenly became serious. He looked at his beloved concubine deeply, and after a long time, a sentence burst out: "Riyi, I know a little about the past. You have alienated Wuhen for the matter of the late queen. This incident is no secret in the entire harem." Seeing that Xiao's face turned pale in an instant, he sighed lightly, "It's not entirely your fault. If it were another concubine, the son who was born after ten months of pregnancy, was diagnosed by the imperial physician as not alive, and would be ashamed. So I have never blamed you, just because I also cared for this son very little."

Xiao felt relieved. She thought the emperor had already known the secret of the lotus seed soup, so she was really panicked. Fortunately, the emperor only thought that she deliberately distanced Wuhen because of that reason, so he nodded and admitted. "I am indeed wrong. The emperor blamed me, but it has nothing to do with you. You are the supreme ruler of all kinds of things. There are so many princes in the palace. Wuhen has been lingering in the sickbed for more than ten years, so naturally it is impossible to keep in mind. Fortunately, Wuhen is a child who is decent and has always been respectful to me, his mother, which makes me feel guilty." As she said that, she couldn't help but feel true feelings, and lowered her head and sobbed.

The emperor shook his head helplessly. Although he knew that Xiao had other intentions in his words, he had always been tolerant of this beloved concubine who was kind and kind. "Liangyi, don't interfere in the affairs of the court now. Wuhen will help you clean it. Don't worry too much." The emperor said with a double word, "As for Xiao Yunchao, I will not make things difficult for him when I see your face, and I will not make things difficult for He Furong. After all, they are my loyal ministers and cannot be abandoned easily. It is only necessary to teach some lessons. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to Lao Lao's side."

The emperor seemed to suddenly lose his lingering interest and stood up straight in his clothes. It was already April, and there was still a chill under the cold moonlight. Xiao suddenly felt that the emperor's back seemed so desolate. For a moment, he forgot how shocking the words he had just heard were, and just stared at the supreme. She had been in the palace for many years, and the girl's nature had been completely wiped out by the open and secret struggles among concubines. Even the innocent smile she showed in front of the emperor was just for the sake of seclusion. She seemed to have returned to the time when she first entered the palace and was for the first time she was lucky by the emperor. At that time, the moonlight was so bright. Now things have changed. Although she is still as beautiful as before, her heart is already old.

The emperor did not stay in Lingbo Palace until the morning court in the morning, but went straight back to Qinzheng Hall in the middle of the night. This news soon spread in the palace. After a while, rumors became true, and several concubines of good deeds even planned when Xiao would fall out of favor. However, He Xueming, who had been promoted to Concubine Hui, smiled and did not care at all. Since she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, her father and brother who were originally a little cold suddenly became attentive. They came to the palace to pay tribute and visit the noble ladies in the house who had visited them one after another, and even many relatives who had never heard of them came to join in the fun. She also obeyed the rules of the harem, accepted gifts lightly, and asked her personal palace maids to send back gifts at will before they could go back. Even in Lingbo Palace, she also sent palace maids and eunuchs to greet each other from time to time, and she never dared to lack etiquette.

"Empress, the imperial doctor has prescribed a new prescription for pregnancy relief. Do you want to take a look?" The palace maid who was serving saw that the master was thinking about his thoughts, couldn't help but think of He Furong's previous order and quickly stepped forward and turned the way.

He Xueming glanced at her unhappily, and then replied lazily: "It's all for me to listen to the imperial physician. I don't need you to serve you here, so you can step down first."

The palace maid wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end she still had the upper hand of obedience. After all, in the Changhe Palace, Concubine Hui, He Xueming's authority was the first. She bent down and gave a bow, and then left reluctantly. He Xueming's lips curled up, showing a cold smile, and then pulled out the secret letter in her sleeve with interest. Concubine De, Lan, was really unwilling to give up the rumor, but she actually wanted to join forces with her, and even falsely proposed to give up the position of the queen in the future. She was really stupid. In the palace for just a few years, she felt that her heart had become much older. She didn't want to care about the outside affairs, but she couldn't ignore it.

"Yi'er!" she suddenly called out. A girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old rushed over, bowed her knees and stood there. She was not the one brought by He Xueming's family, but she was more trusted than other palace maids. She was young, so she was extremely cautious in her actions, fearing that others would laugh at her.

"You can get two gifts for me. Remember, you must be exactly the same and not lose anything. If you are missing something, just go to the warehouse of my palace. I will not dare not give it to me. You can just calculate the value of the things yourself. After you are ready, you will find two capable eunuchs and accompany you to give gifts. Remember, you may as well stagger the time, but you must go to Lingbo Palace first. You will answer whatever you ask you, and you should know how to perfunctory things you don't know." He Xueming finished his orders in anger, and then looked at the palace maid in front of him and signaled her to repeat it.

Na Yi'er was indeed smart and remembered it was not bad. He Xueming nodded with satisfaction and then sent her away. She stroked her abdomen, which was already bulging, and a burst of unspeakable warmth appeared in her heart. If she had not had this child, she might not have come forward to fight for anything, but the current situation is very different. In order to protect her bloodline, she would never retreat no matter what she did. But there were too many sons of the emperor, and He Xueming smiled helplessly. Should she hope that she would be pregnant with a daughter?

If He Furong knew that his daughter had made such a despicable plan, he would not be as calm as he is now. Although the emperor's attitude was always ambiguous, he knew that he would not be more guilty than Xiao Yunchao. Moreover, compared with the possible benefits, everything he gave was worth it. However, his son was mastered by his enemies, which made his mood not improve anyway. Every time he thought of it, he felt angry. Fortunately, He Mobin was quite successful, and He Xueming in the palace also successfully became pregnant with the dragon seed, and everything was much better than when the He family was in decline.

In short, if a queen of the He family dies, she must hold another queen! He Furong looked at the increasingly lush locust tree in his family, as if he thought of the future scenic spot of the He family's descendants, and there was a raging war in his heart.
