Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 464

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Li Xuanye smiled again: "Father is worried about her origin? You can rest assured that although she was born in the countryside, she is well-educated and intelligent. What I'm looking for is exactly If she is really a pampered and pampered Miss Jiao with her tenacity, how will she serve the daily life of the sons and ministers and take care of the general affairs of the East Palace? By the way, I forgot to tell you that this Jizhou disaster relief is thanks to her help-"

"Disaster relief?" The emperor frowned, doubtful: "She is a weak woman, but she still understands this?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent over the account book that had been prepared a long time ago: "Father, look, this is all sorted out for my son!"

The emperor turned several pages in a row, then raised his head in shock: "Zhao Ziyi, this daughter, is really not simple!"

Cao De stood aside, slandering in his heart: It is certainly not easy to make His Royal Highness fall in love with you!

"Okay!" The emperor closed the account book, clapped his palms and meditated for a moment, then raised his hand and called out, "Bring a pen and ink, I want to draw up an imperial edict!"

"Yes." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spread out the bright yellow brocade, and personally researched the best rosin ink. Holding a marriage decree in the palm of his hand, he immediately lifted his robe and bowed down: "Thank you, my lord!"

"Go, go!" For some unknown reason, the emperor suddenly felt a little hot in his eye sockets, and some complicated emotions welled up in his heart, which made him inexplicably uncomfortable for a while, so he waved his sleeves perfunctorily: "Go get ready!" , strive to give birth to a little grandson for me next year!"

……

"Ai's family drank two more glasses today, does the emperor think that Ai's family talks too much?"

The queen mother's unhurried voice sounded again, bringing the distracted emperor back from his memories to reality.

The faint voice was particularly ear-piercing in the silent hall: "Or is it that the emperor's waist is stiff now, and he feels that Ai's family is taking care of too much?"

The emperor frowned, but he didn't feel displeased at all. Instead, he put on a warm smile and said, "The mother's words have wronged the son. The mother's teaching, the son listens to every word, how can I find you annoying?" ?”

The queen mother twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a chuckle: "Since the emperor has spoken, I will say a few more words. Since the crown princess can't give birth herself, she should make a fuss for the prince and choose some women who are good at giving birth to the East Palace. It is to spread branches and leaves for the royal family."

The emperor's warm smile froze on his face.

The Empress Dowager made trouble again and again. According to this situation, the Crown Princess has been barren, and it may affect the stability of the previous dynasty...

His heart sank, and he couldn't help but look under the throne.

As for the standing ministers, their eyes turned around and fell directly on Zhao Xiwei's face.

At such a time, she can still sit there with a dignified face without blushing or heartbeat. Just this calmness of staying out of the way is quite surprising-this is still the one who broke into the Suzaku gate in the rain. , The illegitimate daughter of the countryside who was kneeling on the ground and drenched all over?

Zhao Xiwei didn't even frown at being looked at by everyone like this.

I saw her stretching out two slender fingers like jade, gracefully holding up the tea bowl, uncovering the cover bowl, while slowly skimming the tea foam, she said with a faint smile: "The empress dowager's words are wrong, the concubine is just recuperating It’s just a body, why can’t you give birth?”

The faces of everyone changed drastically.

The emperor was also in a cold sweat.

This girl, who looked so gentle and sensible at the beginning, how could she become so willful after marrying the prince for so long?

Don't learn from the good ones, learn from the bad ones!
"Crown Princess—" just opened his mouth, and then he heard the prince below cough lightly, the emperor swallowed the words almost reflexively.

But he still felt a little uneasy, so he gave his son a sideways look and gave a silent warning.

Li Xuanye nodded towards the emperor and smiled faintly.

The Empress Dowager's complexion also darkened, but she soon smiled again: "Oh? Can you give birth?"

With just this one sound, he already has a bit of all-powerful momentum.

"Ahem..." Zhao Ziyi coughed. He pursed his lips, but before he could speak, the Queen Mother's eyes swished a few times, and she threw it over like a cold knife: "Why, it's not enough for Prime Minister Zhao to be in charge of government affairs. Have you thought about asking about the emperor's family affairs?"

"I don't dare to be an official." Zhao Ziyi immediately accepted his thoughts.

Now, not to mention those wives, even those courtiers felt their backs were chilled, and cold sweat swished down against their clothes.

But Zhao Xiwei has no fear at all.

The queen mother didn't like her for anything else, because her surname was Zhao, and because she married into the East Palace and became a princess.

This dangerous road, from the first day she returned to Chang'an, was doomed to have no turning back.

She has been afraid, backed down, and endured, but the facts show that peace cannot be exchanged for retreating and forbearance.

The queen mother's purpose is to get rid of her and the Zhao family, and replace her with a more trustworthy person, who will be the princess!

"Who says I can't?" Zhao Xi raised his brows lightly, with a hint of sharpness hidden in his smile, "The chiefs of the Imperial Medical Bureau are very clear about my condition. Your lords personally arrange—”

"Master Huang!" When she said this, she suddenly called out in a cold voice.

Immediately, a courtier wearing a red official uniform came out from the crowd, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty Huang Benchu, what orders does the Crown Princess have?"

Zhao Xi squinted his eyes slightly, and spoke in a deep voice with a hint of dignity: "At the beginning, my palace was ill, and His Highness summoned all the people from the Imperial Medical Office. It was the first visit by the Imperial Physician Liu, and Master Huang's follow-up visit. Insufficient qi and blood, after a few months of intensive care, it will recover'... I would like to know when it became impossible to give birth? Could it be that the officials of the Imperial Medical Office conspired to frame me? Did I get the wrong medicine?"

Huang Benchu ​​suddenly felt that his whole body was half cold.

Such a series of questions were thrown one by one like thunder, how should he answer them?
"This one……"

Huang Benchu ​​had a bitter face, and after deliberating for a while, he finally made a sound, and the queen mother smiled sullenly: "Huang Benchu, you are almost 60 years old, and you have been an official in the imperial medical office for 40 years. You can't make a mistake with one step. , step into the abyss!"

"Yes……"

Huang Benchu ​​felt completely cold now.

It is not easy to be an imperial doctor, and it is even more difficult to be an officer of an imperial hospital.

As soon as he entered the palace to celebrate the new year, he encountered such a thing. How can he have a good life this year?
He bowed and stood under the throne, carefully glanced at the person sitting above, a dense layer of cold sweat emerged from his forehead.

Empress Dowager, Emperor, Prince, Crown Princess...

They all stared at themselves coldly!
The Queen Mother said that the Crown Princess cannot conceive, and the Crown Princess arrested him for questioning. Isn't this dragging him into the water as a dead ghost?
In fact, everyone knows that the truth is not important, what matters is the position.

After all, he is also a person who has stayed in the court for decades, so such a question did not bother him.

He thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Reporting to the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess, this is indeed what the officials said. The Crown Princess is cold and weak, with insufficient energy and blood, and needs to be carefully recuperated for a while."

It's ambiguous, depending on how you hear it.

If you are determined, it is reasonable to insist that the princess cannot conceive; but if you argue with reason and say that it is only for recuperating the body, it is also justified.
