Chapter 3 Happy pulse

The princess Yana of Kurten's tribe and Princess Mingxiu of Sak's tribe were also returned to Beijing. However, the two of them came to Beijing coincided with the great funeral of Emperor Chengzu, so they only lived in a palace in the capital and did not enter the palace immediately. According to the Lingyun Etiquette system, within three years of the great funeral of Emperor Daxing, the new king was not allowed to perform a talent show or take concubines, but the identities of both women were not ordinary, and Ma Fengchu, the Minister of Rites, was very worried.

He also knew that the emperor was busy dealing with state affairs recently and had no mind to do these things, but those noble Mongolian girls were not easy to serve. Princess Yana just occasionally used a little character, while Princess Mingxiu was much smarter. When meeting people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she still kept scolding the maids around her for not understanding the etiquette, but vaguely pointed out the close relationship between the court and the Mongolian ethnic groups. In this way, he, as the Minister of Rites, was difficult to be, and even Yuan Peiyu, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was also very troubled.

On this day, the two did not dare to disturb the Emperor Feng Wuhen about this matter, so they made an appointment to visit the Empress Dowager Xiao at Cining Palace. Lingyun's ritual system was different from the previous dynasty. Although the concubines in the harem were not allowed to interfere in politics, the Empress Dowager could often meet the court officials at will, and had the highest control in the affairs of the harem. Not only that, Ma Fengchu and Yuan Peiyu both knew that the power of the Xiao clan was now powerful, so the two were also worried, for fear of angering the noble mother of the emperor.

"Well, what you two said makes sense." Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "It is not appropriate to just put the two noble girls there. After all, they have extraordinary identities and a little bit of temper is inevitable."

The two men at the bottom nodded quickly and said yes. Although they were separated by the curtain, they could still feel Xiao's bright eyes, so sweat had already emerged on their backs. "The Empress Dowager is a model for the people of the world, but now both princesses have entered the capital. If they cannot be taken into the palace, staying outside for three years is not a solution. It would be better to think of a way to follow the power." Yuan Peiyu nodded and said.

"The Ai family can only be half the leader in this matter. The emperor is not careful in these matters, but he is just an indispensable person." Xiao said without comment. After a change of thought, he took the initiative to consider the key points. "The queen is the most respected in the harem. The Ai family will discuss with the queen later and let her take the lead in taking a method." She glanced at the two below and said leisurely, "You two are both interested. It is time to remind this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to make up for the mistakes. In the future, the mission must also be flattered. The emperor is still young, and you must be more careful in everything. This is what the assistant minister should do. Do you understand?"

These few words seemed to be knocking and warning suddenly made the two of them silent. They kowtowed in unison and then retreated. Until they left the palace, they were still in a mess. After looking at each other, they smiled bitterly.

"Sir Yuan, you, as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will have a lot of attention in the future." Ma Fengchu's face looked extremely ugly. "Those who are willing to give their daughters should be chosen, it is best to let them walk through the Queen Mother and Queen's way, otherwise you will not be able to be purified in the future."

Yuan Peiyu nodded with a sad face, "Master Ma, the first official has offended the emperor, and the Holy Family is far inferior to you. If you have anything to bother you in the future, please give me some more tips."

The two officials who were quite good at speaking in the capital were relieved and got on their official sedan chair, but they were still thinking about the intention of Xiao's words. One mistake was the result of the loss. How could they ignore any details?

Queen Hai Ruoxin was specially kept by Xiao when she was paying a routine greeting. However, after just a few words, her face became gloomy and it took a while to return to normal. "Empress Dowager, you can just take charge of these small matters, why should I ask Erchen what he meant?" She replied with a smile, "The marriage between this dynasty and Mongolia is something that emperors of all dynasties have had, not to mention the end of the Northwest War. Not to mention the two Mongolian princesses, even ten or eight are the ones. Although Erchen is not very sensible, he will never have to make any trouble in these matters. So don't you be despised by others?"

Xiao stared at Hai Ruoxin's eyes and sighed for a long time. "You are insincere and think the Ai family doesn't know?" She seemed to remember when she was free and had a hint of smile in her eyes. "Wuhen has always favored you the most, but why are you not doing well? If you can give birth to a prince, there would be no suspense? Even a humble person like the nobleman of Wan, Ping, gave birth to a son. You Hai sisters didn't even move. It's really worrying."

Hai Ruoxin couldn't help but change his face, and he said as if nothing had happened in a flash: "Empress Dowager, these are all destiny, and I can't force it. Yes, Erchen is still young, I think God shouldn't be so heartless." A trace of gloom flashed in her eyes inadvertently, and then another smile appeared, "Although Ping gave birth to a son, he was still a noble person in the rank position. Erchen thought that she was also an old man in the Eastern Palace, so he deliberately changed her rank position and gave her a title of Wanpin. In this way, outsiders should have nothing to say, right?"

Xiao looked at the other party in surprise. She didn't expect Hai Ruoxin to think so far, and the smile on her face became more and more intriguing. "Xin'er, your idea will be told to Wuhen, but you have to pay more attention to the wind on your pillow. As the queen, being favored by the emperor is the first priority, but being generous and courageous is definitely indispensable. Which emperor is not a greedy person, so your pillow cannot be like those concubines. You have to persuade him to do things seriously, and sometimes you have to sacrifice some." She probably thought of herself and couldn't help but smile.

While the two were discussing, Ping Hai, the eunuch beside Xiao, suddenly stumbled into the hall, kowtowed with joy, "Qi Gong, Qi Gong Empress, Just now Lord Chen of the Imperial Hospital came to report that Concubine Xun had already had a happy pulse!"

Xiao and Hai Ruoxin's hearts were at the same time. Concubine Xun rose and smog and restrained her sharpness after Feng Wuhen ascended the throne and spent her life peacefully in Zhonghegong. But all the girls who knew her nature knew that she was not a woman who could keep lonely, so they all paid special attention to her. Not only that, in the past two or three months, Feng Wuhen also seemed to be in comforting this beloved concubine, and she came frequently, as if she was also intentionally making her children distracted.

"I didn't expect that the child Qiyan was happy at this time. It was such an amazing blessing." Xiao Shi was stunned and smiled, "Pinghai, tell the Imperial Hospital that you don't have to be stingy with supplements such as donkey-hide gelatin. Send a few capable palace maids to serve you, so you must not make any mistakes. You send a message to all the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhonghe Palace. If Concubine Xun makes any mistakes, take care of their skin!"

Ping Hai quickly agreed and then retreated respectfully. It was not until he left Cining Palace that he realized that Queen Hai Ruoxin had not yet been pregnant with a dragon fetus, and he couldn't help but regret that he was too Menglang. If he had known that he would have sent someone else to report the good news, wouldn't it be a disaster if the queen blamed him for being troubled? Ping Hai slapped himself regretfully and rushed out in a hurry.

In the Cining Palace, the two most noble women in the world were silent at the same time. The Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly changed the topic: "Xin'er, the Ai family once heard that you adopted Feng Wuzhao's only son as your adopted son?"

Hai Ruoxin nodded lightly, then raised her head, her face was no different from usual. "The Queen Mother's words reminded Erchen that although this child was not valued since childhood, her biological mother Yang was a confused person, and she was determined to force her son to inherit the title. A good child actually became gloomy and cold. Fortunately, Erchen felt that it was too early. Now that he studied with Haoyang Jiyue, he was much more cheerful."

Xiao shook his head, as if he didn't agree. "Xin'er, your intention is clear. Isn't it just that your child wants to find a strong support for your future biological son? Wuhen's eldest son is almost ten years old, but you still have nothing to do. Even if you become the crown prince in the future, you will be much younger than others. This is certainly true." Seeing Hai Ruoxin's complacent appearance, she continued to persuade, "But don't forget that Haorong is Feng Wuzhao's son. His father's defeat is inseparable from the Ai family and Wuzhe. He said that he had no hatred in his heart, and the Ai family decided not to believe it. Thinking about Feng Wuzhao's legitimate son, he was not only a legitimate son of the queen, but also ended up in a depressed end, and even the royal palace was defeated. This life experience is really unpredictable!"

Hai Ruoxin naturally knew what Xiao was referring to, but she was a scheming person and would not change her mind for Xiao’s few words of enlightenment. She smiled confidently, "The Queen Mother is too worried. Not to mention that he is still a child now. Even if he inherits the title of the king in the future, can he do anything great? The emperor will not be fooled by him. Even the son minister is not such a soft-hearted person. It will not be too late to lose his mind by then. If he can train well, he will be a royal family who can be an auxiliary minister. After all, the royal family has declining now, and there should be a few younger generations coming out to support the scene."

Xiao looked helpless. How could she not know about this wife's temperament? However, in this deep palace, even if she is the queen and her mother's family is extremely powerful, she is in danger of being doomed. She didn't want to nag too much, and she talked for a while before letting Hai Ruoxin leave.

"Empress Dowager, it's cold, you should add more clothes." Rouping saw his master standing alone in front of the window, couldn't help but come forward to remind him. She had been following Xiao for many years and had a deep understanding of his master's every move. Naturally, she knew that this was not a good time to interrupt, so she could only use words to divert.

"Roping, you are not young anymore. Is this worth it for the Ai family to delay your youth?" Xiao suddenly asked, and his words seemed to bring endless bleakness.

Rouping knelt down in a hurry and met repeatedly, "Empress Dowager, I am a humble person and I am respected by you. Now my parents and brothers have lived a good life, and there is nothing wrong with it. I only want to serve you for the rest of my life, so I have no other request."

Xiao was stunned, and a little gentleness appeared on his face. He stopped making a sound, but just looked out the window in a daze.
