Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Before dinner, the Queen prepared accommodation for Li Jinglan and the others.

"Just live in my palace, so we can see each other often."

After hearing this, Li Jinglan finally understood.

It turned out that the emperor had no intention of letting her stay in the palace for long.

Li Jinglan smiled and nodded: "As long as the queen doesn't mind us making noise."

"It's been a while since there have been no noisy children in the palace. I'm looking forward to it." The queen smiled.

Before dinner, the emperor returned.

Have dinner in the Queen's Palace.

While eating, no one dared to move.

The emperor picked up a piece of food with his ivory chopsticks and handed it to the queen: "You eat yours."

Then he looked at Lu Guanyu and tried to liven up the atmosphere, "You are Xiao Yu'er, right?"

Lu Guanyu stood up quickly and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, yes."

"Don't be nervous." The emperor smiled and asked Lu Guanyu to sit down. "I heard that you called the King of Jin "Uncle Taoist". Do you think you should call me "Zhen"? Oh, what should you call me?"

Lu Guanyu looked towards Li Jinglan for help.

Li Jinglan raised two fingers.

Lu Guanyu instantly understood what Li Jinglan meant and replied crisply, "Call you uncle."

"Eh." The emperor laughed loudly, looking very happy. "It's just as my brother said, very smart and likable. Zi Tong..."

He turned to look at the queen, "No reward?"

Although the Queen knew that she had already given rewards, and the Emperor had also given rewards, she still smiled and pretended to be confused: "I was so happy today that I forgot. Your Majesty, what did you say to reward me?"

The emperor thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Give her a life of happiness."

Lu Guanyu looked at Li Jinglan, and after receiving Li Jinglan's signal, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"What did you call me?" The emperor stroked his beard.

Lu Guanyu changed his words obediently: "Thank you, uncle."

The emperor laughed and said, "That's right."

Then he asked Lu Zhongyu, "Have you entered school? What are you studying?"

Lu Zhongyu stood up and answered, "I am studying with the teacher. I am reading The Great Learning."

The emperor asked casually, "How can you be virtuous?"

Lu Zhongyu replied very respectfully: "Righten your heart, be sincere, cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

The emperor looked serious for a moment and sat up straight. "Did you come to this conclusion yourself?"

"My eldest brother taught me." Lu Zhongyu cupped his hands. "My eldest brother said that when dad taught him to read, he considered knowing what benevolence is the first step."

"To learn about benevolence, one must start with The Great Learning. The Great Learning is a small sutra. Reading The Great Learning can help you to set your mind right. Only after you have set your mind right can you read the great sutra."

"Later, my elder brother Zhou Jin came to live at home. He also said that reading is a process of rectifying one's mind and clarifying one's views."

This Lu Jingzu is quite good at teaching people.

The emperor nodded slightly and asked again: "What is benevolence?"

Lu Zhongyu thought for a moment and replied, "Not hurting yourself or others is benevolence."

"This is Xiaoren." Although the emperor corrected him, he felt that Lu Zhongyu's understanding of reading was still good.

If you can cultivate it well, you will definitely achieve something in the future.

Rewards of gold and silver are just external things, which will disturb Lu Zhongyu's mind.

The emperor thought for a moment and ordered Liu Quan, "Go and bring the Great Learning that I read when I was young to Zhongyu."

Then he stood up and said, "You guys can have dinner with the Queen."

While he is here, Li Jinglan and the other two cannot eat well, and he also cannot eat well.

The news that the emperor had dinner in the queen's palace spread throughout the imperial city in an instant.

The emperor's reward to Lu Guanyu, saying "May you have a smooth life", and to Lu Zhongyu, saying "A book I read in my youth", also spread throughout the imperial city.

It was then spread through some secret channels outside the imperial city and reached the ears of some people.

Concubine Xian was the first to receive the news.

She smiled faintly.

For a childless person like her, there is nothing to fight for.

Just serve the queen well.

Regardless of whether the throne is given to the prince or Lu Bozhou, she, as a virtuous concubine, will have a good ending.

Maybe after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will give her the title of Concubine Dowager.

If given to outsiders...

The queen might even be driven out of the palace.

She would die without a burial place.

The virtuous concubine had thought about this long ago. If an outsider really succeeded Dabao, she would ask to be buried alive with him.

Save yourself from suffering in the future.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian instructed the palace eunuchs: "Don't hang around outside the palace unless necessary, lest you be killed. Also, don't send food to Li."

The virtuous concubine's personal eunuch had a happy expression on his face: "I heard that Madam Li is pregnant. If this baby is a boy... the masters in the palace can rest assured from now on..."

"Slap!" Concubine Xian glared at the eunuch.

The eunuch bent down and slapped his mouth, but his face was full of joy: "Your servant slaps your mouth."

After slapping herself twice, she added, "I hope Madam Li can have more children."

The virtuous concubine glared at the eunuch again but said nothing.

Yes!

The entire harem was looking at Li Jinglan.

I just hope Li Jinglan will have a boy.

This way everyone will have a good ending.

The virtuous concubine thought of the hot spring villa and the prince.

She took a deep breath and cleared her mind.

"Go ask Chen Banban in the Queen's Palace if there are any plans for tomorrow?"

The eunuch went out and came back after a while, "They said it was too cold so they didn't arrange it."

"Chen Banban said that during the period when Madam Li is in the palace, the morning greetings in the palaces will be changed to noon."

The queen really loves Li.

The virtuous concubine pursed her lips and smiled.

……

The hot spring villa was quiet.

No one dared to speak nonsense, and no sound was made when they walked.

The prince leaned on the chaise longue, closed his eyes and coughed lightly from time to time.

The Crown Princess sat under the couch, embroidering flowers with her head down.

"First, acknowledge your son. What's next?" the prince said in a low voice.

"He is guiding the entire court to make concessions step by step. He is used to doing this..."

"If you give in to me today and acknowledge my son, I will be the ruler of the East Palace tomorrow. I have already given in on the first step, so what if I give in another step?"

"Is there no one in the court who can see through it? Is there no one who can stop it?"

The Crown Princess paused for a moment, then continued to embroider with her head down.

The prince on the chaise longue suddenly started coughing violently.

After coughing for a while, the prince's face turned pale.

"It hurts, my head hurts!" The prince covered his forehead and groaned.

"Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!" The Crown Princess was frightened and threw away her needle and thread to help the Crown Prince.

When the imperial physician arrived, the prince was no longer crying out in pain.

He nestled in the Crown Princess's arms, his eyes grey and bloodshot.

The imperial physician carefully felt the pulse, and was terrified. "Your Highness, do you feel unwell?"

"My whole body feels unwell." The prince closed his eyes, looking weak, "I haven't had a bowel movement for seven days. I am so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable."

"I want to drink some water." The prince whispered.

The Crown Princess ordered someone to pour a bowl of warm water for the Crown Prince from a silver kettle.

The prince took a few sips and gasped again, "Doctor, what is wrong with me? When will I be cured?"

"It's a sign of physical weakness." The imperial physician frowned.

The prince was angry: "Everyone says it's a disease of physical weakness, but they can't cure it? Are you also like Doctor Liu, an imperial doctor who can't take the pulse?"

This was a bit harsh, and the doctor was so scared that he bowed to the ground, "Your Highness's breathing and pulse are very fast, I'm afraid you have internal heat."

"Internal heat?" The prince sneered and shook his sleeves, "A bunch of quacks, please invite a few doctors from the folk to diagnose me."

Soon, a folk doctor came to take the patient's pulse.

It was exactly the same as the imperial physician's diagnosis, "internal heat."

The prince was so angry that his hands and feet turned cold: "A bunch of quacks! Get them out, get them all out."

"Someone wants to harm me, someone wants to harm me!" the prince murmured in a low voice.
