Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

In April, two princes celebrated their birthdays. Liu Guiren's Chong Ying was two years old, and the fifth prince who held the piano was one year old. They were born on the same day.

Although Ruicheng has a new favorite, but the "old love" has not completely let go, especially this son with a loud voice.Although the children in other palaces can be called father emperor, but only the fifth prince in Baoqin Palace gets two wet kisses when he comes up, which is really special.

Standing in Ruicheng's arms was the fifth prince, who was about to turn one year old, with both hands on his back, holding the piano and watching his son's two little feet stepping on the emperor's lap, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and hurriedly hugged him Come over: "This child is very heavy, don't step on it and hurt."

The emperor's patience for teasing the child was limited, and he let Baoqin hand the child over to the nanny, and he didn't have much intention to keep it.

Ruicheng took two sips of tea and said, "The birthday party will be in two days, what do you want?"

This was the first time that the emperor asked clearly. Baoqin felt that he might want to make up for his indifference to the people in the harem during this period of time. As for choosing her first, it is quite fortunate.In a place like the harem, no matter what you are fighting for, at least the emperor has to have his heart on you.

Baoqin smiled, "There is nothing missing, Your Majesty, don't worry." After finishing speaking, he deliberately left out a regretful expression, "Just ask Your Majesty to give our little prince a nice name."

Ruicheng nodded and said yes, "Don't worry."

With the emperor's promise, Baoqin felt relieved, but he never thought that something would happen on the day of the fifth prince's birthday party.

It was the birthday of the fifth prince and the third prince, Shulan called Baoqin and Liu Guiren over a few days in advance, and said: "I wanted to do it together, they are both His Majesty's sons. But the fifth prince is one year old, so it should be more grand , so can you move the Third Prince's birthday banquet to a later date?"

Liu Guiren's face was a bit unsightly, Shulan said again: "But the third prince can't be wronged, or hold a banquet in Qixiang Palace in the morning, and change to Changchun Palace in the afternoon?"

Liu Guiren still had objections, saying: "In front of the empress and concubine, the concubines have nothing to say. Although the third prince's biological mother is just a noble person, the third prince is older than the fifth prince."

This is to move the third prince's birthday party to the morning?Shulan looked at Baoqin, but she saw Baoqin nodded lightly. Shulan knew that she agreed, and she didn't want to explain too much. As Liu Guiren said, she is just a little noble person, and the queen doesn't need to ask for help when she does things. When she explained the reason, she said, "It's not unreasonable, okay."

When Liu Guiren took her leave and left, Shulan looked at her back and said: "What a fool, that morning is morning, His Majesty may not be free, it's a waste of our good intentions."

"I wanted to make up for it." Baoqin said: "It seems that our son will be hated by others again."

Within two days, the time for the banquet was planned, and Shulan notified the concubines when they paid their respects in the morning. Liu Guiren's eyes were faintly smug, as if it was a good thing to press the zither on one side.

Unlike the envy or jealousy in other people's eyes, Concubine Liu's eyes were sad and mixed with hatred. The prince who was born in April and her love are now the eldest son of Prince Zhongying.Seeing these people talking and laughing, discussing what to give that day, her feelings have been completely forgotten.

Concubine Liu is relatively old, almost catching up with the two rounds of being a new concubine, and recovering from a serious illness, her face became gloomy and she looked older, Concubine Dong who was sitting next to her pulled her sleeve, whispered: "Sister, pay attention."

On the morning of her birthday, Liu Guiren prepared tea and snacks, and happily waited for everyone to come in Changchun Palace.

When the nanny picked up Chongying from Qixiang Palace, Liu Guiren hurriedly held his son in his arms, weighed him, and said with a smile: "My good son, you have to grow up quickly."

Originally, everything was going smoothly, the empress gave congratulatory gifts, and concubine Chang concubine also gave congratulatory gifts, the moment Concubine Guang stood up, she shook twice and fell down!

"Hurry up and go to Xuan Imperial Physician!" Shulan said.

Concubine Guang sat first, Concubine Dong, and the nobleman who entered the palace with her at the bottom. The first reaction of the two of them after seeing someone fainted was not to reach out to help, but to push the table away. Far away, as if afraid of being implicated.

Although the imperial doctor hasn't come yet, she dare not move, but it seems a bit bad to let people lie on the ground like this. Just as Shulan was about to speak, she said noblely and humanely: "Madam, it's strange that Concubine Guang is dizzy. The concubine often listens to me at home." People say... Anyway, it’s better not to move rashly.”

Many people nodded.

Shulan wanted to roll her eyes, she had heard this kind of saying before, but it was only aimed at people who had suffered trauma.Look at that pale little face of Concubine Guang, she is either starving or tired, if you want her to say, just pinch someone.

But no matter what, after the first birthday banquet, the third prince's second birthday banquet was also messed up.

Tai Hospital is on the east side of Nansan Institute, and it only takes a jog to come here.Concubine Guang was lying on the cold ground in April, but she had already covered her body with the bed sheet, and a silk scarf was wrapped around her wrist.

"The imperial physician will take the pulse first." Shulan was very embarrassed, "They all said that they should not move rashly, what does the imperial physician think?"

It's hard to be an imperial doctor, at such an age, you have to hold your body and squat on the ground to feel your pulse.

Shulan watched the imperial doctor frown for a while, straighten her waist for a while, took a breath and continued to check the pulse, and asked, "Concubine Guang... what's wrong?"

The imperial doctor stroked his beard, a little embarrassed: "The pulse is still shallow, but there are some signs of slippery pulse."

Most of the women in the harem don't know anything about medical skills, but they are sensitive to the word Huamai.Huamai is the pulse phase of pregnancy.

When they heard that Concubine Guang might be pregnant, the rest of the people were not calm.Especially Liu Guiren, her eyes were wide open, and she hated Concubine Guang with a deeper emotion than she hated Baoqin back then.

And Ling Changzai, who had already broken the can, spoke her heart: "I don't know how the third prince's horoscope is arranged." Speaking of this, he lowered his head and smiled, "I don't know whose turn it will be next year? "

At this time, Shulan didn't care about admonishing others anymore, "Hurry up and get up!" Then she ordered: "Pick up the sedan chair!"

But after such a fuss, the third prince's second-year-old banquet was completely ruined, but no, the food was not served, and Concubine Guang fainted. The queen ordered Concubine Chang to send her back, and went to announce the good news to the emperor by herself, holding the piano as an excuse for the child She was still young, so she said she was worried and went back to take a look. Before leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember it, and said to her: "Chongying, watch it first, and send it back in the afternoon."

Concubine Dong and Concubine Liu are in the same group, and I don't know what Concubine Liu said next to Concubine Dong's ear. Concubine Dong, who wanted to stay, also left.

The rest are newcomers, so there is no value in entertaining at all, they pushed each other and left with a smile.

Standing in the center of the hall, Liu Guiren looked at the messy benches and fruit peels on the table, and suddenly shed two tears.

But in the afternoon, her mood suddenly improved a lot. Her family's Chongying's second birthday banquet was yellow, and the concubine's fifth prince's first birthday banquet was different!

When Shulan went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ruicheng was still dealing with government affairs in Qianqing Palace. After waiting for a while, Ruicheng came in wearing court clothes.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Shulan smiled brightly and saluted, "Concubine Guang is pregnant!"

Ruicheng was stunned for a moment, "That's great!" After he finished speaking, the emperor, who was still a little tired from walking just now, disappeared in a breeze.Your Majesty, you are already thirty!

Going out of the back door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, turn right to Yongshou Palace of Guangbi, and to the left is Qixiang Palace with Qin. Shulan didn't even hesitate at the intersection, and went directly to the left.

After entering the door, she saw Baoqin hugging the fifth prince and kissing him. Before the tea came, Shulan took the fifth prince and handed it to An Jie, saying: "Your Majesty has already gone to Yongshou Palace. Hurry up, everyone will be here soon."

Baoqin followed Shulan out, and when they arrived at the gate of Qixiang Palace, Baoqin grabbed Shulan and said: "You go first, let's not go in together."

Baoqin waited until Shulan entered the gate of Yongshou Palace, and then walked forward. Fortunately, she was only a little later than Concubine Chang.

In the bedroom, concubine Guang was lying on the bed, and the emperor was sitting beside the bed.

Concubine Guang's face was pale, but looking at the emperor's eyes were shining, and his face was crystal clear, "Your Majesty, that's great..." and shed two tears in conjunction.

Ruicheng held Guangbi's hand, "Take care of your health, the imperial doctor said, now is a month at most, it's a dangerous time."

Perhaps this is the way a concubine who loves the emperor should behave?Baoqin recalled how he and the emperor usually got together, and looked at the pair in front of him, and suddenly shivered, complaining that he couldn't be the favorite concubine.

She really can't do this.

but……

The queen is still standing aside, who is the emperor showing such affectionate money to?

Baoqin looked at Shulan worriedly, but she saw that there was no expression on Shulan's face, but the muscles on both sides of her cheeks were a little protruding, as if she had exerted too much force.

Don't worry, Baoqin turned his attention to the couple in front of the bed again, only to hear the emperor say: "Please forgive me in the morning, or I will skip it first."

Shulan agreed with a crisp voice, but Guangbi said again, "How can I do that?" She struggled and was about to get up.

"Greetings when you are well. It won't be too late to go after three or four months when the child is stable." Baoqin hurriedly answered, smiled at Ruicheng, and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Ruicheng nodded, "Just as Concubine He said, let the imperial doctor come to check the pulse four months later."

Hearing what the emperor meant...it seemed that she didn't intend to ask her to pay her respects, and the faces of the crowd suddenly turned subtle, and a few of them lost their temper and looked at Shulan.

But Shulan doesn't care about this, and she is already a queen, and she is also a queen if she doesn't fight for anything, but this Concubine Guang... can't let her continue to be so arrogant.

The emperor seemed to think that there were too many people, so he opened his mouth to drive them away, "Let's leave, let Concubine Guang take a good rest."

Shulan winked at Baoqin, and they left together.

Concubine Chang and Ling Changzai, who had entered the palace early, saw that the queen didn't show anything, so they just retreated. They had the urge to roll up their sleeves for her, but their status was too low, and they didn't dare to test the emperor. Who is more important in my heart, so I restrained the surging in my heart, and my voice could be lowered, "The concubine resigns."

Before going out, I heard the emperor deliberately slow down his speech, comforting in a low voice: "I'll be reviewing papers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and if there is anything to report, it will be done."

Concubine Guang's voice choked up, "Your Majesty, you have treated me so well..."

Baoqin and Shulan looked at each other, is there such a talent in our palace?

Naturally there is not.

After being tossed about by Concubine Guang, the afternoon banquet was basically ruined. Baoqin couldn't help but care about it, since his son only had such a one-year-old birthday.

After much deliberation, the banquet turned into a tea party, and everyone sat for half an hour before leaving after presenting gifts.

Liu Guiren smiled maliciously, and the expression on Liu Concubine's face was not so comfortable. As for Ling Changzai, he even said a few not-so-pleasing words, "The fifth prince is in good health, so His Majesty naturally wants to visit more Concerned about that unhealthy child of Empress Guangbi."

When everyone was gone, Shulan put the piece of paper with the fifth prince's name on it again and shook it in front of Baoqin, "Okay, don't be sad. My son's name is Chongyu, your son's name is Chonghao, take it apart and put it in four pieces." Three words are the same."
