The old man in the imperial city

On the night of Princess Kong's wedding, the emperor returned to Chengqian Palace for a banquet, and the inner hall was full of chaos. It is said that the imperial concubine woke up with cramps in her legs and feet while she was half asleep.In the end, before the imperial physician came, the emperor went in and kneaded and massaged a few times to relieve the pain of the imperial concubine.

After that day, the emperor refused to stay alone in the outer hall, and Lai refused to leave the inner room no matter how Yinhu made a face, and insisted on suppressing evil spirits and heretics by his younger brother's side, rubbing his legs and handing water at night without ambiguity.

Yinhu had to admit that he couldn't solve the problem of calf cramps after sleeping until midnight, even if he wanted to grit his teeth and stand up.In this way, it would be much easier for the fourth child to sleep next to him.

The two people who slept together again could not be clearly separated, the sticky cuddling and hugging was staged again, Yinhu's belly that had been hidden for three months was soon exposed to the staring eyes, and now there was no way to hide it.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, this incident is proof that a vixen with a big belly still wants to seduce her son. Of course, she will not think about the past when Borzigit became pregnant after marrying into Prince Xiang's mansion and then stumbling on Boguo'er.

Countless people in the harem secretly cursed in their hearts that Chengqian Palace would not be able to keep this pregnancy, and it would be better if it was because they seduced the emperor into bed and gave birth to a red baby, and they would not be able to afford to be sick again.

The new year is approaching, and the imperial concubine attended the New Year's Eve celebration with a nearly four-month-old belly. Of course, she just watched the whole process and ate snacks, and didn't worry about it.No matter how envious or jealous others are, the emperor's behavior of taking care of the imperial concubine throughout the whole process is undisguised, clothing vegetables and adding clothes with his own hands, blinding everyone's thinking eyes.

After marrying Fang Fujin, Prince Xiang, who worked in the Ministry of Rites, was silent for half the night. After the emperor made a toast, he followed up with a glass: "The emperor is happy to have a son. I heard that there will be more people in the harem next year. I would like to congratulate the emperor with a glass of wine." gone."

The emperor was very happy when he heard the words, and repeatedly teased his younger brother that the beautiful family has been added to his house, should he also add one or two little elder brothers, Xiao Gege? Concubine taught well.

Prince Xiang listened absent-mindedly, occasionally agreeing with one or two, until the emperor toasted and immediately continued: "I also wish the emperor's sister-in-law and the little emperor's sister-in-law a long-term blessing and all the best."

Borzigit was not used to arguing, at least on the face he was not ashamed because he was nominated alongside Dong E, he picked up his cup with a gentle smile and drank it down.

Yinhu took a slow step and raised his glass with a smile, but the emperor stopped him with his hand.

Boguoer heard it clearly, and the emperor said: "If the imperial concubine is pregnant and cannot drink, I will drink for her." Although he said this to Prince Xiang, the emperor's eyes did not leave the imperial concubine's face.

Boguoer felt that there was a nest of dead flies in his heart, and he couldn't swallow or spit it out.He heard the emperor say to the imperial concubine next to him softly after drinking the wine: "It's too late to watch the new year, you should go back earlier and rest, you don't have to wait for me to go back."

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned to the queen mother again: "Mother Huang, do you think this is appropriate?"

The Empress Dowager nodded kindly and said: "The emperor is still thoughtful. The imperial concubine has always been dignified and diligent, and the Ai family loves her like a half-daughter. If she can give birth to a boy and a half girl for the emperor, it will be the good fortune of the Ai family. She should go back to rest early Now, rules matter, Dragonborn even more."

Such a scene of family harmony and joy is both heart-piercing and eye-catching, and there are only two people who really care about the gentle answer.

Yinhu thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness in a soft and slow voice, and was about to leave the table when the gloomy Prince Xiang suddenly said, "I also want to ask for some kindness from the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager looked over: "This little Eleven, usually doesn't have so many etiquettes. Look, he has grown up all of a sudden."

The emperor also smiled and asked: "Just say, what kind of grace?"

Prince Xiang said: "Kong Fang Fujin in the minister's mansion is also happy, and I am afraid that the body of two months is too tired. I think I will also sue the Queen Mother, so I will go back first."

The queen mother was startled when she heard this.

The emperor laughed and said: "This is a great joy. I just said that you should add more people to your house, but I didn't expect it to be true. How do you think the reward is?"

Next is the royal regular program, all kinds of auspicious words and various rewards, but all the concubines who have some dignity will come out and say a few words to congratulate the queen mother and noble concubine.Kong Sizhen couldn't hide her shy blushing beside Prince Xiang, and Borzigit on the other side tried to put on a smiling face, almost froze.

The emperor was about to die of laughter: just these two brushes wanted to stimulate Lao Ba and Zhen, didn't you see that the queen mother was so angry that she couldn't eat anything?

Bo Guoer was stimulated by the love and affection of the emperor and his ex-wife all night. His intention was indeed to expose the news that Fang Fujin was also pregnant, to show that he was still doing well without you, Mrs. Dong E.

It's just that on the way back home with Kong Fangfujin, he suddenly remembered that on New Year's Eve two years ago, he drank by himself and had an irreversible incident—if he stared at Dong E all the time Mrs. Dong E and his son may also enter the palace today to have fun and act like a spoiled child under Er Niang's knees.

The man who got into the horns was unreasonable, he firmly remembered, if it wasn't for Borzigit's instigation, how could he beat someone?If the child in Dong E's womb is a few months old if it is delayed, things will always ease up.Just like what Er Niang said, only when a woman has a child can she have a peaceful mind and live in peace.

Boguoer vented all her resentment on Borzigit, but facing Kong Fang Fujin imitated the attitude of a good husband of the emperor's brother, and expressed her condolences softly, especially in front of Borzigit face.

He has completely convinced himself that the child in Kong's womb is exactly the poor son who was supposed to be reincarnated into Wanru's womb two years ago. He was framed by the traitor and died, and the reincarnation of heaven came to Ama again.

For so many nights, he regretted that he didn't treat Wanxiang better, and now he finally has a chance to make up for it, and he will give Kong Shi what he didn't get back then.

Borzigit has never felt that life is better than death.

It's fine for the side Fujin who brought in the door to push her on the head, and she can grit her teeth and smile to deal with the embarrassment symptoms within a month after entering the door, and later, the prince is so obedient and caring to Kong in front of her that she can bear it.

Why at this time, the prince can still come to her courtyard with a normal face, asking her if she has seen the imperial concubine when she entered the palace, and asked if the imperial concubine is in good health, whether she has a sad face or is she in a good mood?

Soon Borzigit didn't even want to enter the palace, and stayed in the yard without going out, so the prince had no reason to ask her about Dong E's situation.

The world is impermanent, when she persuaded the prince to put the Dong E family under house arrest after losing their son, now it is her turn to put herself under house arrest.

The affairs of Prince Xiang's mansion were just a pastime for the nobles in the palace. The emperor deliberately asked the people who were placed in the palace to take care of Kong Sizhen's food and clothing, just because he didn't want the Queen Mother's family to play tricks. Just like the Dong E family who was almost killed back then.

The purpose of the emperor is to divert the attention of the queen mother, and the eighth child can't go wrong.

In Chengqian Palace, Yinzhen often touched his younger brother's belly and lamented: "Why is it so small? The clothes from years ago can still be worn in? Has the imperial doctor looked at it? Didn't he say why he doesn't grow?"

Usually at this time Yinhu would slap the emperor away with a slap: "Go away, don't disturb my father's sleep."

Yinhu wished to hide her stomach so that no one would see it, and of course she would not imitate the concubine's behavior of pushing forward with her hands on her waist, so she has been hiding in front of others.All the concubines in the palace were discussing, whether true or false, that the imperial concubine's womb was not a stillbirth, and it was only five months old before it was so big.

The emperor could only barely find a sense of accomplishment when he took off his brother. The part hidden under the clothes felt firm and round, and felt good to the touch.It's a pity that Lao Ba hides it tightly. He has to do all the tricks to get it once, which is very heartburning.

Fortunately, the imperial physician patted his chest every time to assure the emperor that the imperial concubine's pregnancy was strong and healthy, and there was nothing wrong with it.He also pointed to the sky and said that a woman with a big belly is not a good thing, just looking at the size of the imperial concubine also knows that it is not easy to give birth when she is big.In a word, there is no need to worry about the sky, try to eat more and move more, and be careful in everything to be safe.

The emperor repeatedly asked about various details. Finally, under pressure, the imperial physician tactfully hinted that the emperor should be more careful in what he wants to do. The folk women still have a lot of farm work when they have a big belly. The imperial concubine's body is more solid than it looks.

The emperor was satisfied with the letter of approval.

After Yinhu's belly month reached five months, he didn't want to touch Zhezi's political affairs anymore.Qianqing palace is something to plan ahead, it doesn't matter, and he obviously feels that he can't do what he wants.

The Chengqian Palace fell silent, and it seemed that the Compassionate Ning Palace was extremely active. The fourth elder brother showed his face in front of the Queen Mother frequently, and was almost raised in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

On this point, the emperor fully understood his younger brother's meaning, and he never shy away from attaching importance to the fourth elder brother in front of others, and echoed the queen mother's praise of the fourth elder brother's intelligence.

At this time, news came from outside the palace that Prince Xiang's side Fujin Borzigit was ill and couldn't get out of bed, and of course he couldn't enter the palace.

The queen mother said, "Poor child", and ordered the imperial hospital to check the pulse the next day, and gave herself the right to comfort her, and nothing else could be done.

It was not halfway through March, and the emperor said that the heat was early this year, and he couldn't sleep well at night, so he ordered to go to the Qinghe Palace to escape the heat.

This edict is worth pondering. Since the emperor came to the throne, he has always advertised himself as the way of the king with diligence and self-denial. He has always claimed that he does not like pleasure, so this edict is for the imperial concubine, because there are only a few on the accompanying list except for the imperial concubine. A nobleman who has never even seen the emperor.

The Empress Dowager prefers Dong E's to have a baby under her nose. Last time she was careless and let her go to Mongolia to make waves to seduce her son. When she went to the palace, her eyeliner was useless.

But the emperor once again refused to listen to dissuasion, and soon even the list of accompanying ministers was drawn up, and they were all ready to go.

Yinhu has just been six months old, and his appetite has recovered a little bit, and his stomach is not too big, which is the time when he can move freely.The imperial doctor said that at this time, it is best to move around while the weather is getting warmer. Yinzhen was afraid that he would be tampered with if he was inattentive in the imperial garden, so he simply moved the entire Chengqian Palace to Qinghe to escape the summer heat.

The emperor was not in the Forbidden City, and in the scorching summer, the hearts of the people in Sijiu City were like cakes being baked repeatedly, tossing and turning.

The queen mother would chant sutras in front of the Buddha every day. In June, she would chant one more sentence every day: "The ancestors and ancestors bless the emperor and the Qing Dynasty."
