sick princess

Concubine Hui won the right to assist the Six Palaces, and now she is enjoying herself in the spring breeze, and she heard from the people sent by Qianyuan Palace that Emperor Zhaode will come to eat in her palace today, and she will immediately order the servants in the palace around.

"Make a few dishes that the emperor likes to eat. Today, the emperor comes to my Zhongcui Palace, and he must serve the emperor well. Whoever gets the emperor's praise will be rewarded by the palace. If someone eats the bear's heart, leopard gall , ran into Shengjia, don't blame me for being merciless."

Her eyes lingered for a long time on the pretty maids, who lowered their heads, not daring to show their breath.

The court ladies naturally knew that Concubine Hui was speaking for them.Other high-ranking concubines might take advantage of the maids with their appearance marks to secure their favor, but Concubine Hui would never do such a thing.

If anyone dared to seduce Emperor Zhaode under Concubine Hui's nose, Concubine Hui would deal with him badly afterwards.

Among them, even if someone wants to jump into the dragon's gate, they have to think carefully whether it is worthwhile to do so.The emperor's liking is only temporary, if the emperor's attention is caught, and he can't get a position for himself, the days to come will be sad.

The maids all lowered their heads, showing their tameness with their movements.

Concubine Hui was naturally satisfied when she saw it: "Go, pack up the sixth prince and bring him to this palace. The emperor hasn't seen the sixth prince for quite a while, and I think I'm thinking about it."

Concubine Hui is neither the oldest nor the most favored in this palace.After the downfall of Concubine Zhuang Gui, she was able to stand out and obtain the right to assist the Sixth Palace, nothing more than the fact that mothers are more expensive than children.Concubine Hui naturally attached great importance to the sixth prince.

After a while, the sixth prince was brought to Concubine Hui by the nanny.

The sixth prince is only three or four years old now. He is chubby and looks like a doll in a New Year painting. He is very lovable. Concubine Hui felt her arms sore after hugging her for a short while, so she had to let the sixth prince go. He stopped: "Today your father is coming to accompany us to have dinner, you have to behave well in a while, you know?"

"Father, I want Father!" The sixth prince clapped his little hands and grinned, looking very happy.

Although he was still young, he already understood that as long as Emperor Zhaode came, he would get many fun toys, and the concubine mother would be in a good mood.

Children are the most sensitive to emotions, so the Sixth Prince is naturally looking forward to Emperor Zhaode's arrival.Not to mention, young children naturally admire their fathers.

"What is Xiao Liu talking about again? As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xiao Liu's voice." There was a smile in Emperor Zhaode's voice.

Concubine Hui hugged the sixth prince, and looked at the door in surprise: "The emperor is here! No one let anyone know, so I can take Xiao Liu to the door to meet the emperor."

She lowered her head and gently touched the sixth prince's fleshy face: "Little Liufang just found out that the emperor is coming, so excited, I can't wait to see the emperor soon. On weekdays, he is always in the ears of my concubines." While nagging, he asked his father when he would come to see him, and the concubine told him that his father was very busy and didn't have time to visit Xiao Liu every day, but as long as Xiao Liu was obedient, his father would come to see Xiao Liu soon gone."

"Father! I want Father!" the sixth prince repeated loudly.

Seeing his son relying on him so much, Emperor Zhaode was naturally happy, but at the same time, he felt a little guilty: "When I have free time on weekdays, I will try to visit Xiao Liu as often as possible."

He picked up the sixth prince, turned around a few times on the spot, put him down amidst the giggles of the sixth prince, and pinched the flesh on his arm: "Xiao Liu is heavy again, um, look It's very strong. Concubine Hui, you have raised Xiao Liu very well."

"This is what a concubine should do." Concubine Hui said with a smile.

"Xiao Liu's personality is a bit like Baoluo's. She is obedient and sensible. When she sees me, she is so happy. It's a pity that Baoluo is weak. I can't lift her up like Xiaoliu. Pick it up and play. Otherwise, that girl might be very happy." There was a trace of regret in Emperor Zhaode's words.

Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with gloom, she didn't like Emperor Zhaode mentioning Baoluo when he was with her and the sixth prince.

Although in order for the sixth prince to be favored by Emperor Zhaode, she deliberately raised the sixth prince according to Baoluo's temperament.But she still had to admit that when Emperor Zhaode saw the sixth prince but thought of Baoluo, she was really in a bad mood.

Thinking of this in her heart, Concubine Hui still smiled and said: "There are no rare medicines and supplements in our palace. The Longevity Princess will take care of it slowly, and her body will naturally recover. Speaking of which, I also have some supplements here. , is suitable for the longevity princess. The concubine will send it to the empress in a while."

"You have a heart." Emperor Zhaode patted Concubine Hui's hand, but didn't say anything more.Baoluo's health has almost become his heart disease.Although the best supplements in the palace have been sent to Baoluo continuously, Baoluo's physical condition has not improved significantly.Emperor Zhaode naturally hoped that Baoluo would live a long life, but he was really not sure about it.

The three of them began to eat, and according to Concubine Hui's order, the dishes served naturally suited Emperor Zhaode's appetite.Concubine Hui also asked people to cook some of the sixth prince's favorite dishes.

At the dinner table, Emperor Zhaode was busy seizing the time to cultivate the relationship between father and son with the sixth prince, while Concubine Hui was virtuously serving dishes for the father and son.

The sixth prince was young and went to bed early.After eating, Emperor Zhaode had just played with him for a while before he started to feel sleepy.

Emperor Zhaode also felt a little distressed when he saw the sixth prince rubbing his eyes with his small hands while trying to cheer up and talk to himself: "Why don't you let Xiao Liu go to rest first."

"Don't rest, play with father." The sixth prince stared at Emperor Zhaode firmly, for fear that if he made a wrong eye, Emperor Zhaode would be snatched away.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhaode had to reassure the sixth prince that he would come to see him again soon, and finally coaxed him to sleep.

"Your Majesty, don't blame Xiao Liu for being capricious. It's rare for a child like Xiao Liu to see the Emperor. Naturally, he cherishes the time he spends with the Emperor."

"Xiao Liuru admires me, why would I blame Xiao Liu for this?" Emperor Zhaode sighed, "I feel that I have paid too little attention to Xiao Liu."

On weekdays, Emperor Zhaode had to take care of Baoluo's body every day.Emperor Zhaode also went to the imperial concubine's place every other day, and the second prince could often see Emperor Zhaode and get advice from Emperor Zhaode on homework.Even the young Seventh Prince was often hugged and coaxed by Emperor Zhaode.

But for the Sixth Prince, Emperor Zhaode only came here once or twice a month.Although in the eyes of other concubines in the harem, this frequency is not low, but with the comparison between the second prince and the seventh prince, Emperor Zhaode naturally felt that he owed the sixth prince.

Concubine Hui was very satisfied with Emperor Zhaode's statement.

In the past, there were imperial concubines standing in front of them, and these concubines couldn't see Emperor Zhaode, so there was nothing they could do.Now, since Emperor Zhaode came to the door himself, Concubine Hui naturally had to take the opportunity to secure her favor.

"The emperor treats Xiaoliu so well, and the concubine really doesn't know what to say..." Concubine Hui wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Actually, the emperor is usually so busy that he only comes to see the concubine and the concubine occasionally. Six, the courtiers and concubines are also satisfied."

Concubine Hui's statement like this greatly satisfied Emperor Zhaode's vanity.Emperor Zhaode hugged Concubine Hui and kissed her...

After the cloud and rain, both Concubine Hui and Emperor Zhaode showed a lazy attitude.

Concubine Hui knew that Emperor Zhaode had better speak at this time.As long as the requirements are not too excessive, they can basically be satisfied.Concubine Hui thought for a while, then said to Emperor Zhaode: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"Speak up if you have something to say, I won't blame you."

"The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon. The Empress Dowager has only asked about trivial matters for a long time. Now she suddenly takes over the affairs of the Six Palaces. The concubine is worried that the Empress Dowager will not be able to handle it. If something goes wrong, it will be bad."

Emperor Zhaode listened and felt that it made sense.Usually, the affairs of the Six Palaces are left to the empress to take care of, even if the empress has omissions, it is nothing.But the queen mother's banquet is different. Many ministers and wives will come to celebrate the queen mother's birthday. If the banquet is not well organized, the entire royal family will be ashamed.

"The empress can't understand these matters in a short time. According to my concubine, what should I do better?"

Concubine Hui smiled sweetly: "The concubine is willing to share the worries for the empress."

This is seeking more authority for oneself.

Although Concubine Hui and Concubine De are now assisting Empress Xu in managing the affairs of the Six Palaces, Concubine Hui is obviously not satisfied with the little power she has been assigned to her. She is not willing to let an unfavored queen be on her head.

It would be great if he could use this opportunity to seize the initiative in managing palace affairs.

Emperor Zhaode thought for a moment, and said: "Alright, both you and Concubine De will send some people to assist the queen."

"Yes."

Concubine Hui couldn't say how satisfied she was with this result, but she understood that food had to be eaten at one bite, and the road had to be walked step by step.So, she is not in a hurry.

On this side, Emperor Zhaode and Concubine Hui had just finalized the matter of assisting in holding a banquet, and on that side, Fengyi Palace received bad news.

"Empress Dowager, for the Empress Dowager's birthday every year, some bonsai must be placed. Now, those people in the Household House say that they can't buy them! The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and her old man likes these bonsai the most. If you can't see the bonsai by then, You must be angry!"

Empress Xu's face was ashen: "At this time, I said that I can't buy bonsai. What did I do? When I was handing over the palace affairs, why didn't anyone trip me, so I was waiting here!"
