Chapter 233 The Emperor is Smart
Hai Da Ying was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner.
Empress Xian once again became Concubine Xian.
Concubine Ling almost died due to complications during childbirth, and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, who became Concubine Ling Guifei.
The Queen Mother accidentally fell into the water and has been staying in Yongshou Palace to recuperate. It is said that she cannot get out of bed.
With so many major events happening one after another, it stands to reason that there should have been a major earthquake in the former dynasty and the harem, but the strange thing is that everything was calm in the harem, and not even any palace maids or eunuchs were executed.
But careful people discovered that although no one died on the surface, there were too many missing palace maids, eunuchs and old maids.
After many requests, Concubine Chun was finally allowed to enter the gate of Yongshou Palace.
The smile on her face was very polite and sensitive. She sat in front of Yan Wan's bed, looking at her pale but increasingly outstanding eyes and eyebrows. She felt that she was like a small white flower ravaged by fresh rain, truly delicate, pure, beautiful and elegant.
Concubine Chun suppressed her jealousy and said, "Who would have thought that Yan Wan is now the only concubine in this palace who can be on an equal footing with me."
She clearly told herself to stay calm, and even tried to please him, but seeing Yan Wan becoming more and more beautiful, giving birth to twins, and rising in status, she couldn't help but feel jealous:
"But it's no wonder. Yanwan, you look like this. Even a woman like me would be moved by you, let alone the emperor?"
The smile on Yan Wan's face was already faint, and it became even fainter after hearing her words: "Sister Concubine Chun, I know you have always had a good relationship with Concubine Xian, and you are dissatisfied with me standing higher than her, but I really have never harmed her. If you really don't believe it, there is actually no need for us to be together."
Concubine Chun was stunned. Did she mention that she wanted to defend Concubine Xian when she came in? Didn't she just ask a few questions to know some inside information?
Just as he was hesitating about what to say, he heard a noise at the door. He turned around and saw that it was Hongli.
This time, Concubine Chun was not just jealous, but was really jealous to the point that her eyes turned red.
She had given birth to so many children for the emperor, but when had the emperor ever come to her confinement room to see her? He didn't even walk to her yard and comfort her through the window!
Concubine Chun curled her lips and said, "Why did the emperor come to this place? You are a thousand-level noble body..."
Hongli didn't even look at her, he just walked past her, went to sit beside Yanwan's bed, reached out and touched the back of her hand, frowning slightly:
"Why are your hands still so cold? What did Zhang Yun say? Is there really nothing wrong?"
Yan Wan's eyes curved as she naturally said to him in a spoiled tone, "Please take care of Zhang Yun. He wants me to take medicine ten times a day! He even puts ground medicine powder in the water I drink!"
She said softly, "I don't want to eat anymore! I really don't want to eat anymore!"
Hongli flicked her forehead amusedly and pinched her cheek: "It took me a month to finally grow some flesh out of you. It shows that Zhang Yun's method is still useful."
He said angrily, "Don't expect me to listen to your nonsense and cheat Zhang Yun with you like last time. Recently, whenever he heard that I was coming, he would be like a thief..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Yun asking outside: "The emperor is here again? Miss Chunchan, go and see if the master's medicinal tea has been poured out!"
Yan Wan: “…”
Hongli was so angry that he laughed: "Did you see that? This bastard has been obsessed with health preservation recently. He caught a dog on the roadside and tried to persuade it not to eat anything carelessly."
Yan Wan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. She smiled with sparkling eyes and two beautiful and lovely blushes appeared on her face due to her emotional fluctuations. She looked even more pure and flawless, and naturally charming.
Hongli smiled at her tenderly, then reached out and poured her a cup of medicinal tea.
Yanwan's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at the teacup in Hongli's hand with resentment, but finally drank the medicinal tea obediently. However, she had a bitter face and looked more and more like a child.
Hongli looked at her with joy and personally fed her the candied fruit.
Yanwan took it with a smile and ate it with her teeth showing.
Concubine Chun just stood there straight, but these two people seemed to have completely forgotten about her.
Concubine Chun felt uncomfortable and aggrieved, but she dared to be sarcastic to Yan Wan. Facing Hongli, she did not dare to say anything. Seeing that the two of them always ignored her, she forced a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, are you here to discuss the full moon banquet for the little prince and princess with Yan Wan?"
Hongli seemed to have just seen her: "Why are you still here?"
Concubine Chun: “…”
She maintained a strong smile and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to visit Sister Yanwan. Seeing that she looks so good now, I feel relieved."
She wanted Hongli to take a good look at Wei Yanwan's good complexion and stop saying that Wei Yanwan had gone through a lot of hardship giving birth.
Giving birth is hard...
Who doesn’t have hardship giving birth?
how?
Is it that Wei Yanwan is the only one who has a hard time? Is it that giving birth to a child is as easy and pleasant as laying an egg?
Hongli said unhappily, "You are getting older, and your eyesight is getting worse. What was Yan Wan's complexion like before, and what is her complexion like now? How dare you say that she looks good?"
Concubine Chun: “…”
Her lips moved: "I...but every woman's complexion is not as good as before after giving birth. Sister Yanwan is indeed the best-looking woman I have ever seen after giving birth."
Hongli glanced at her calmly and said, "I know that you and Ruyi are both old people in the palace. You appreciate each other and have a long-standing relationship of mutual support. However, there is really no need to come to Yongshou Palace to make trouble just to vent your anger on Ruyi's behalf.
Go back. Since you like Ruyi, go spend more time with her. You are blessed with many children. I hope the baby in her belly can bring some of your good fortune and be born healthy!"
Concubine Chun's face was frozen.
Asking Ruyi to... pull her luck?!
No!
The emperor is ill... cough!
Is the emperor perhaps getting senile and confused?
Although she was cowardly, she would never bully others like this! She kept calling him old! She was old! How could the emperor be younger than her?!
She was angry and aggrieved, so she squatted and was about to leave.
Yan Wan suddenly spoke in surprise: "You are worthy of being the emperor! In this palace, only Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia have the most children and good fortune. If Concubine Xian can borrow a little bit of their good fortune, maybe she can really give birth to a little prince!"
Hongli was just talking at first, but after hearing it repeated by Yanwan, the lucky star, and being looked at by her with admiration, he decided to call the chief and deputy envoys of the Imperial Observatory to come and have a look after he returned.
If it really works, then wouldn't it increase the chances of avoiding giving birth to a monster?
