Reborn as King again

In the early summer of May, the concubines and maids in the harem all changed into summer clothes, and they wore silk brocade and gauze skirts to laugh and laugh in the imperial garden every day, which was a beautiful sight.

Today, I stood by the pond with Jia Wanru, admiring the newly bloomed lotus this year. The lotus leaf style, and the lotus lotus-shaped hairpin on the hair bun, standing by the pond, like a lotus fairy.

At this time, Gui Zhi, Xia Zhirou's personal maid, came to see her, so I let her in to see what she wanted to say.

After Gui Zhi walked in, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Rou Jieyu has not been in good health these past few days. The Empress Dowager wants you to take a look."

What I hate the most about Xia Zhirou is that she always relied on her mother's love for her, and she couldn't compete with Jia Wanru for favor, so she moved her mother out in front of me at every turn.Jia Wanru was very caring, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go and see Sister Rou, I haven't seen her for a long time."

So we went to Wen Cuiyuan, Xia Zhirou's bedroom.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of Wen Cuiyuan, I was taken aback by the spectacle. Except for the maids of the queen mother who were guarding the courtyard, all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital and the pharmacists of the imperial pharmacy were all waiting at the door. Xia Zhirou must have suffered from some incurable disease.

Then we walked into the dormitory and saw Xia Zhirou leaning on the big bed sickly, her face was a little pale, and the queen mother was sitting beside her, as if she was saying something comfortingly.As soon as the queen mother saw me, she asked scoldingly: "Emperor, why are you late? Rou'er has been waiting for you for a long time."

I quickly walked to the bedside and sat down, flattering my mother and saying, "As soon as I heard your call, I will come here immediately." Then I took Xia Zhirou's hand, and said softly and caringly: "Rou What's the matter, I haven't seen you for two days, why have you lost a lot of weight?"

The queen mother rolled my eyes at me and said: "You also know that you haven't seen Rou'er for two days?" Then she smiled and said: "Huang Er, Rou'er is pregnant, it's almost three months, and Ai's family is about to have a baby." The emperor's grandson."

Xia Zhirou has been in the palace for more than half a year, and I have pampered her for more than half a year, her stomach must have started to move, I smiled and said, "Since you are pregnant, it is a happy event, why is Rou'er still frowning?"

Seeing that my tone was full of affection, Xia Zhirou's complexion gradually improved, "I haven't seen the emperor for several days, I miss you." I comforted her and said, "Okay, I will be with you tonight."

The queen mother looked at Xia Zhirou and I loving each other, she was very pleased, and said: "Emperor, although Rou'er is more self-willed, but now at least it's ruining your child, you usually let her more." The queen mother said so, so I followed the queen mother's wish, and I said: "Okay, I also know that it is not easy for Rou'er to be pregnant." Zhaoyi, after she gives birth to Lin'er, regardless of male or female, the ministers will make her a concubine."

As soon as I said that, I made the queen mother happy, and Xia Zhirou was also surprised, "Thank you, my concubine, the emperor."

The queen mother saw Jia Wanru coming with me, and said: "Concubine Wan, you are also the mother of two children. You should worry more about what pregnant women should pay attention to and what to eat."

"What are you talking about, the queen mother? You don't need to tell me, the concubine will do the same." Jia Wanru said with a smile: "Sister Rou'er is the first child, so she must take good care of it and give it to the emperor after seven months. Give birth to a big fat boy." Although Jia Wanru said so on the surface, I know that she must have her own plan, after all, her son Li Yi has not yet been made a prince by me.

In the days that followed, Xia Zhirou ran amok in the palace because she was pregnant with a dragon child, and her attitude towards people became even more arrogant.Seeing that I turned a blind eye to this, the palace people had no choice but to put up with her.Xia Zhirou is the daughter of the Xia clan, her status is equal to Jia Wanru's, she is very noble, if he gives birth to a prince, the Xia clan will definitely be her best backing, and that prince will have a chance to be canonized as the crown prince, and she Will also become queen.In order to give birth to a prince, and to become a queen, Xia Zhirou often forgot to run to the ancestral hall, praying for peace and blessings, and to bless the birth of a prince. She also went to the national teacher every few days to open an altar for her, and asked everywhere for folk remedies for childbirth.

Jia Wanru's superficial work is very good. Every day, she sends people to Xia Zhirou's place to greet her. The supplements and clothes that pregnant women should eat are all sent to Xia Zhirou's palace. Knowing that pregnant women like to eat sour food, they give Xia Zhirou Zhirou prepared all kinds of preserved fruits. All in all, as the lord of the harem, whether she likes it or not, Jia Wanru has done her job well.

At this time, He Wenliu was still staying in Qingluan Hall as usual.Now is May, which is the season when peonies grow buds, so every time I see He Wenliu, he is busy in the yard, watering and fertilizing, never using his hands to others, watching him basking in the sun , I feel a little distressed.

When I stepped into the Qingluan Palace that day, He Wenliu really bowed his waist, playing with his peonies.He was wearing a pink-blue gown and skirt, embroidered with wishful thinking, which should have made him look noble and elegant.But now the skirt is covered with soil, which doesn't reflect its value at all, and the sleeves are scratched by the branches, but He Wenliu doesn't seem to know it, just holding small scissors, carefully trimming the branches and leaves.

He Wenliu looked up and saw me coming, so he stopped what he was doing, stood up and greeted me, I walked to the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard and sat down, beckoning him to come.He Wenliu was very obedient and obediently walked to my side.I patted my legs again, wanting him to sit on my lap. Since I was reborn for nearly a year, I often drag He Wenliu to sit on my lap. He has been used to it for a long time, so he didn’t refuse, and sat up directly .

I saw that He Wenliu's lips were a bit dry, so I picked up the exquisite teacup on the stone table and poured a cup of tea. He wanted to take it, but I just refused to give it to him. I wanted to drink it for him myself.I handed the teacup to his mouth and asked him to open his mouth. He blushed and could only let me feed him tea.After drinking tea, I saw that his forehead was a little sweaty, and his little face was a little dirty, so I took out a yellow square towel with flying dragons in the sky from my cuff and wiped it for him.

"Mother Concubine—" A childish voice came out, and I saw Dan'er running towards us from not far away.

As soon as Dan'er saw me, he immediately stopped and greeted me respectfully, "Father~"

"Good." I smiled at her.Dan'er is almost four years old this year, and his personality is much more cheerful than a year ago, even a little skinny, and he often drags the little palace ladies around to play.

He Wenliu smiled and said, "Where did Dan'er go to play? Why is he sweating profusely?" Then he pulled Dan'er to his side, hugged her hands, and let Dan'er sit on his lap.And now I bear the weight of two people, one big and one small.

Dan'er smiled and replied: "My son just went to look for Brother Da Huang, concubine mother, Brother Da Huang is getting more and more beautiful now, tell me, what should I do if he is abducted in the future?"

He Wenliu thought for a while and said, "Then you can abduct him." Then, He Wenliu took the brocade handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Dan'er's forehead.

At this time, the inner eunuchs standing aside and serving looked at the posture of our family of three, and couldn't help laughing.I hugged He Wenliu and wiped He Wenliu's sweat, and He Wenliu hugged Dan'er and wiped Dan'er's sweat.Calculated in this way, I was still at a disadvantage, so I deliberately said: "Concubine Wen, I am also a little tired."

"En?" He Wenliu didn't react, and looked at me questioningly.

Dan'er was much more considerate than him, he untied a small silk scarf from his belt, wiped it on my forehead, and said, "Dan'er wiped the sweat of my father."

I looked at He Wenliu complaining, "Look, Dan'er knows how to love me better than you. You said that I love you so much, but you didn't show much."

He Wenliu really thought about it seriously, and asked: "Well... what does the emperor want this humble minister to express?"

I smiled badly in my heart, hey, I'm hooked.I showed him my profile, and said with a smile, "Then give me a kiss."

He Wenliu was naturally unwilling, so he hurriedly said: "It's broad daylight, and it's outdoors, it's not good." I pretended: "I don't care if it's good or not, I just want you to kiss me now."

He Wenliu didn't listen to what he said, Dan'er was ignorant, seeing me keep trying to kiss He Wenliu to no avail, it was pitiful, so he said: "Father, mother and concubine don't want to kiss you, son and minister, come~" , Dan'er stretched his neck and slapped me in the face.

He Wenliu didn't expect Dan'er to be so presumptuous, and immediately scolded: "Dan'er, don't be rude!"

But this is not my concern, I just said to He Wenliu in a pitiful voice: "Look, Dan'er has already kissed me, why don't you?"

He Wenliu's face rubbed against it, and it immediately turned into a boiled crab. I lowered my head and stopped talking. I was a little annoyed, "If you don't kiss me, then I will kiss you." As I said, I raised He Wenliu's face with one hand. Chin, gnawing at his thin lips.

A few days later, I was correcting the memorial in the imperial study when Wan Fu suddenly rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Gui Zhi who is beside Rou Zhaoyi came to ask for an audience."

When I heard this, I felt annoyed. Why did Xia Zhirou find someone who didn’t check the time? I usually work in the imperial study, and I hate people to disturb me the most. .

As soon as the little green son entered the door, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Your majesty, you must make the decision for your empress Zhaoyi."

What I heard was vague, and I asked, "You stand up and talk first, what's going on here."

That Gui Zhi stood up, crying and saying: "Your Majesty, your empress Zhaoyi has had a miscarriage, and she was harmed by Concubine Wen."

He Wenliu caused Xia Zhirou to have a miscarriage?How is it possible, they didn't meet at all in the harem, I hurriedly asked: "What's going on here, tell me in detail."

Guizhi cried and replied: "Rou Zhaoyi has been very sick these days. She always vomits and feels that her mouth is not clean and smelly, so the empress Wenfei gave Rou Zhaoyi a pot of mint, saying that chewing mint can make her mouth feel better. It was refreshing, so Rou Zhaoyi didn't think too much about it, it was fine this morning, after eating two mint leaves, Rou Zhaoyi had abdominal pain and bleeding from her lower body at noon, the imperial doctor had seen it, and said that Lady Zhaoyi had a miscarriage, the imperial doctor also It is said that it is forbidden to eat mint during pregnancy, and mint contains an aromatic substance that can cause miscarriage. Your Majesty, Empress Zhaoyi is pregnant with your child, you have to make decisions for Empress Zhaoyi.”
