Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 31
Early the next morning, Li Qian woke up leisurely from his 'dragon bed'.

The rain outside the window hadn't stopped, pattering against the window, but it was dawn already.

Looking at the person next to the pillow, the eldest grandson Wugou's blue hair was disheveled, and he was still sleeping soundly with his head tilted.

Li Gan touched his nose, he was really tired yesterday.

After tossing around in the afternoon, he had dinner and rested for a while. At night, Li Qian wanted to put his arms around his wife and sleep peacefully.

But when he was lying down, he suddenly changed into another posture.

"Ah~"

Li Gan put his hands behind his head, shook off distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked at a few windows emitting faint light. The sound of pattering rain made people feel refreshed.

It has been raining for half a day and night, and the Hall of Eternal Life should have been extremely humid.

However, this point was taken into consideration when the Dagan Palace was first built. There are moisture-proof measures from the glazed tiles on the roof to the cornices, ceilings, bucket arches and wall columns.

Even the gold bricks on the ground are laid in the driest season with materials such as yellow wax, black charcoal, glutinous rice, firewood, and tung oil, supplemented by extremely complicated techniques.

What's more, when Li Gan took his eldest grandson Wugou down to eat yesterday, the eunuchs and maids came in to clean it specially, and put moisture-proof quicklime cloth bags in the room.

Therefore, even though it was raining and raining outside, Li Qian's bedroom was still warm and comfortable, and there was no tide at all.

But Li Gan sat up helplessly, left the soft and comfortable bed, and began to rummage through his clothes.

It was a rare day not to go to court, he wanted to stay in bed for a while, but his stomach kept protesting.

I am so hungry.

Get out of bed, put on clothes lightly, gulp down a glass of water, and go out to wash and eat.

But suddenly a voice came from behind: "Your Majesty?"

Li Gan stopped, looked back, and saw that Changsun Wugou had woken up at some point.

"I didn't want to wake you up."

With a bit of helplessness on his face, Li Gan picked up a few pieces of clothing, walked to the bed, and touched his eldest grandson Wugou's forehead.

The eldest grandson Wugou looked at the sky outside the window, his face blushed: "Your Majesty, the sun is already high."

Although the sun didn't come out, it was obviously getting late.

The eldest grandson Wugou who was born as a lady was very ashamed, how could he sleep for such a long time?

She blushed and sat up with the quilt covering her chest, but she couldn't find her clothes after looking around.

"it's here."

Li Qian took out a red bellyband embroidered with bamboo branches and cloud shadows and a thin white silk underwear from behind as if by magic.

"His Majesty……"

Changsun Wugou's pretty face was so red that it was about to drip water.

Li Gan coughed twice, did not continue to joke with her, and handed over all the clothes.

The eldest grandson Wugou used the quilt to cover his skin as much as possible, and began to put on his clothes under the quilt.

Li Qian curled his lips and turned his head: "It's not like I haven't seen it yesterday."

Changsun Wugou's face turned even redder, and he couldn't help but give him a blank look.

It's just that Li Gan was facing her with his back at this time, but he couldn't see such amorous feelings.

However, since the eldest grandson Wugou had already put on his clothes, he didn't have to worry about making noises anymore.

Li Gan called out to the door, and eunuchs and maids came in holding various utensils.

There are several gold bowls with chiseled blossoming flowers, which are filled with fine salt like snow, and there are also "articulate black mustaches" for cleaning teeth, "bath beans" and "grass soup" for washing hands and faces. "and many more.

On the other side of the silver plate are ivory handles, toothbrushes made of pig bristles, face wipes of thin yellow satin, and gold basins decorated with dragon patterns...

A special eunuch came in and took away the basin in the room. While brushing his teeth and washing his face, Li Gan denounced this extravagant life in his heart.

'Hedonism is bad...don't indulge in it...'

After tidying up, Li Gan took his eldest grandson Wugou downstairs, where Wei Zhongxian had already been waiting.

And, meals are already prepared.

"Big companion really understands people's hearts."

Li Qian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and praised him, Wei Zhongxian's body became a little lighter.

"Being able to serve by His Majesty's side is a blessing that a servant has cultivated for several lifetimes."

After having a full meal, the eldest grandson Wugou will leave the Hall of Eternal Life and go back to the Feishui Pavilion.

Because according to the rules of the palace, unless it is the queen, other concubines cannot live in the Palace of Longevity for a long time.

Otherwise, all the concubines will run here and live here, so what's the deal?
But before she left, Wei Zhongxian said to Li Gan with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I heard that many empresses and maids in the Sixth Palace have contracted the disease."

"Sick?"

The tea that Li Gan rinsed his mouth almost spewed out.

It's not the kind of disease I thought, is it?Or concubines and court ladies?

Countless images suddenly appeared in Li Qian's mind, which made him slightly speechless.

The eldest grandson Wugou also looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise, how could there be so many people in the Six Palaces get sick at the same time?What disease?

"Bah~ Damn you slave, it's because slave didn't make it clear."

Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and slapped himself on the mouth, and then explained in detail: "Your Majesty, ladies went to the Doctor Liang Pavilion in Yulin Garden yesterday."

"It's raining and windy. Although the servants sent umbrellas and boiled ginger soup, after returning to the palace, many empresses still caught wind and cold."

"It's such a cold day, what are you doing in the Royal Forest Garden?"

Li Gan froze with the hand holding the teacup.

Are those people out of their minds?

It was windy and rainy yesterday afternoon, he slept in the Hall of Eternal Life, he had to hug Nuan Nuan's eldest grandson Wugou and cover him with a quilt.

The concubines stayed in a place like Liang Dafu Pavilion, so it would be strange if they didn't catch the wind and cold!
At this time, Changsun Wugou's voice came faintly from the side: "Because Your Majesty went to Yulin Garden the afternoon before yesterday and met a warrior."

Li Qian's unspoken complaints came to an abrupt end, he coughed a few times, and put down his teacup in embarrassment.

It turned out to be the case.

Changsun Wugou's pretty face was also full of helplessness, when she was called by Li Gan, it hadn't rained yet, so naturally she didn't know what the concubines were doing afterwards.

"Could it be that they don't know how to go back because of the cold?"

Li Qian was still very puzzled.

From the looks of it, my concubine isn't very smart, she's all brains?
Changsun Wugou's beautiful eyes were a little complicated, he looked at Li Gan, slightly opened his red lips, and then closed his mouth again.

The reason why the concubines are so active is not for the favor of the emperor.

Right now, everyone's rank is very low, and no one wants to be a sixth-rank or seventh-rank for a lifetime.More importantly, the Queen's position is still vacant!

The position of honor in the harem has not been determined, and people's hearts are fluctuating. All the concubines covet this position.

Only when the queen sits in the sixth palace, such absurd things will not happen.

However, there are some things that a concubine, Changsun Wugou, cannot say after all, because she herself is also a member of this competition.

On the other side, Li Gan reluctantly put the teacup on the table, got up and took a few steps helplessly.

"It's really good for the whole job..."

On the first day, the eldest grandson Wugou sent snacks, and on the second day the concubines followed suit, and ended up getting more than 40 servings of snacks, which was almost wasted.

The day before yesterday I met Wu Meiniang at the Liangdafu Pavilion, and yesterday the concubines were waiting there again despite the wind and rain, and they caught the wind and cold again.

This will keep them working all the time, and I don't know how much trouble will be caused in the future!

"Has the doctor passed by?"

"I went there last night, but the servants were afraid of disturbing His Majesty, so they didn't go up to report..."

Li Gan blushed when he heard this, he was still in bed with his eldest grandson Wugou in the dark last night.

The eldest grandson Wugou also blushed, and hastily raised the teacup to his lips to hide his embarrassment.

"The Imperial Physician's medical skills are superb, after a few soups and medicines, the condition of the ladies has improved, but there are still a few of them still with high fever."

"Um……"

Li Qian nodded thoughtfully: "Big Companion, you send someone to visit the Sixth Palace, and visit the concubines on my behalf."
