After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 292

"Sister Jiang's gift is quite meaningful, especially the two dolls next to the pomegranate, just looking at it makes me happy." Concubine Ruan said with a smile.

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Liangdi gave the prince a pair of pomegranate ornaments, which was a very meaningful gift.

Because the East Palace has everything, and the prince doesn't need anything, the only thing he needs is when to add a son and a half daughter.

This was already what everyone in the East Palace wanted to see.

Outsiders only see the external meaning of this pair of ornaments, but only Jiang Shishi and the prince see the inner meaning of this pair of ornaments.

The reason why Jiang Shishi sent a pair of such ornaments to the prince was to remind the man whether he remembered what he said at the beginning, and to test the man's reaction.

But the man's eyes only stayed on the pair of ornaments for a few moments, and he waved his hands to ask Huang Dechang to cover the gift box.

The man also said to Jiang Shishi in a detached and polite way: "You have a heart."

then no then
Seeing this, everyone present has different expressions.

It's only for a short while during the day, and everyone still can't see any clues.

At the family banquet tonight, everyone could see that Jiang Liangdi had fallen out of favor.

After Jiang Shishi delivered the gift, she sat down with a normal face.

After her, Meiren Lu, who was wearing a mint-colored skirt, stood up, smiled at the prince, and said, "Your Highness, I am the same as Sister Xue, and I can do needlework, so I personally made a pair of winter boots for you."

After finishing speaking, the maid beside Lu Meiren handed a pair of black boots to Huang Dechang.

Jiang Shishi glanced at Lu Meiren, and then at the pair of boots that Lu Meiren gave her, and Liu Mei could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

Compared to the calm Jiang Shishi, Chun Xing, who was standing behind her, was full of anger when she saw this beauty Lu.

I haven't seen her for a few months, this beauty Lu must have secretly learned how to exercise like the young master, her originally chubby body has been trained to be as well-proportioned as the young master.

There is also the mint-colored jacket and skirt worn by Lu Meiren, from the color to the style, it is imitated by the little master.

Even the pair of winter boots given to His Highness now are very similar to the pair of winter boots given to His Highness by the young master.

Ink upper, simple topstitch design, without any complicated patterns.

Nonsence!It's disgusting enough!

"Gu just wanted to change into new winter boots, so you and Xue Liangdi each gave a pair." The prince smiled and asked the servant to put away the pair of winter boots.

"As long as His Highness likes it." Seeing that the prince was satisfied, Lu Meiren heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she was surprised that the prince actually gave her a smiling face.

Seeing this scene, the concubines present were also a little surprised.

Before, Lu Meiren's father, Lu Darong, took the credit of Jiang Liangdi's brother and was severely punished by the emperor.

Not long after, Lu Meiren in the Eastern Palace was also fined by the crown prince, and she was banned for three months.

At that time, it was rumored in the East Palace that it was the prince who fought for Jiang Liangdi and deliberately targeted Lu Meiren.

At that time, they thought that Lu Meiren would be rejected by the prince because of this, but they didn't expect that the prince seemed to have forgotten about that matter.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Liangdi who was favored at the beginning, but now she is rejected by the prince, it's really a turn of events!

In the eyes of everyone, a woman like Jiang Liangdi has no connotation at all, so she can't bear to get along with the prince for a long time.

Otherwise, he would not be able to accompany the prince out of the palace for a few months. Instead of warming up the relationship with the prince, he was rejected by the prince.

After the concubines had finished delivering the gifts, they began to show off their abilities to invite favors.

Jiang Shishi went through a cutscene in giving gifts, and sat quietly drinking tea, watching the prince and concubines making fun of each other.

At this family banquet, the man was still the same as during the day, and he didn't give her a look during the whole process.

After about a stick of incense, the prince tossed the hem of his robe and walked into the inner room, and the family banquet broke up.

That night, the prince stayed in Lu Meiren's bedroom.

Moreover, he stayed at Lu Meiren's place for three consecutive days.

**
Soon after the crown prince returned to Beijing, Emperor Jianyuan fell into a coma for several days after dealing with some political affairs.

It was not until the beginning of November that Emperor Jianyuan gradually woke up.

Taking advantage of this time, the prince asked the officials under him to report that Mu Wang's party had neglected the officials' lives.

Just when Emperor Jianyuan asked people to check the matter, Mu Wang's party stopped temporarily.

On the contrary, the Ninth Prince, who had been killed by the Mu Wang Party one after another, was so angry that he was so angry that he even killed several officials of the Mu Wang Party.

After Emperor Jianyuan found out about this matter, he simply took the Ninth Prince as a knife, and imprisoned the Ninth Prince in the clan mansion, as a warning to others!

Although Mu Wang's party also killed officials, there were not many adult princes left under Emperor Jianyuan, and it was impossible for them all to be imprisoned in the clan mansion.

In addition, the only prince who can compete with the prince in the court today is King Mu.

And Emperor Jianyuan had just suppressed Mu Wang's party a while ago, if he punished Mu Wang's party immediately, no one would be able to compete with the prince in court.

After imprisoning the Nine Princes in the ancestral mansion, Emperor Jianyuan also called the princes to the bedside to give a lecture, strictly prohibiting the princes from killing officials for forming gangs.

If this happens again, let them go to the clan mansion to accompany the Ninth Prince.

As early as when the prince returned to Beijing, Mu Wang's party restrained a lot.

Now that Emperor Jianyuan gave such a warning, he dared not act rashly.

The situation in the past was turbulent, and in the backyard of the East Palace, the paint that the crown prince bought for Concubine Ruan was transported back to the capital from Chu.

"Concubine Ruan, this is the paint that His Highness specially bought for you from Chu." Xiao Quanzi took two boxes of paints and handed them to the maid next to Concubine Ruan, "In addition, Your Highness also said that when he finishes his work Political affairs, come to see your painting at night."

Concubine Ruan smiled and asked the maid to accept the paint, and asked someone to give Xiao Quanzi a reward.

After Xiao Quanzi left, Concubine Ruan opened the box containing the paint, and opened several boxes of paint to have a look.

Each box of paint is not only fine in powder quality, but also bright in color.

After inspecting the paint, Concubine Ruan looked at the darkening sky outside, "It's getting late, and I don't know if His Highness will have dinner here, you can ask someone to go to the imperial dining room to prepare some more dishes, and besides, prepare water Give me a bath."

"Yes." After the palace maid agreed, she made arrangements one by one.

After about a stick of incense, Concubine Ruan took a bath in the ear chamber.

The close-fitting maid stood bent over and waited for her to take a bath.

Concubine Ruan leaned lazily on the edge of the bathtub, her red lips slightly parted, and murmured: "I have been in the palace for many years. As a concubine, I have come here many times, but over the years I can’t get pregnant all the time, and the imperial doctor can see that there is no problem, so what’s the problem?”

"The slaves have been wondering about this." The maid dipped a towel in warm water and poured it on Concubine Ruan's snow-white shoulders, "It's not just you, there are so many concubines in the Eastern Palace who are also sleeping, why can't they all be pregnant? Come on, is it true as the rumors say?"

Concubine Ruan said coldly: "How many times have I told you that rumors are unbelievable."

The prince is very brave every time he favors her, it is not what the rumors say at all, he is as good as Long Yang, and has no hidden diseases.

"Your servant knows." The maid did not dare to mention the rumors, but changed the subject, "Could it be that His Highness doesn't want an heir for the time being, so what measures have been taken?"

"Every time His Royal Highness comes to me, or invites me, I haven't seen him take any measures. Moreover, the emperor's heir is conducive to stabilizing the position of the crown prince. There is no reason for His Highness not to want the emperor's heir." I listened to the words.

She frowned and asked the maid, "Every time His Highness favors me, do you find anything wrong? Or what are the things he must do every time?"

"." The maid thought about it for a while, and then said: "Every time your Highness comes back, we treat you with respect as a guest, and the servants don't see anything wrong."

"Besides, every time His Highness favors you, your servants will guard the door. If you say what His Highness must do every time your Highness favors you, you must know better than your servants."

"You little girl, you dare to tease me, don't you?" Concubine Ruan gave the maid a reproachful look.

"I'm wronged, servant girl, I'm just telling the truth. Even if you borrow my servant's courage, I don't dare to tease you." The maid hid behind her and rubbed Concubine Ruan's back.

After the maid's reminder, Concubine Ruan seriously recalled every time the prince favored her.

Then, she really found a clue.

"When you said that, I remembered that every time His Highness came to visit me, or when he was lucky enough to greet me, Huang Dechang would pour me tea or bring me desserts, and sometimes... His Highness would personally bring me something to eat .”

If Huang Dechang served her tea or snacks, in order to maintain a slim figure, she would not eat snacks at night and drink some tea at most.

But sometimes she worried that she would not be able to fall asleep if she drank too much tea at night, so she didn't even drink tea.

In this case, the prince would personally bring something for her to taste, and it was impossible for her not to lose face to the prince.

Thinking about it now makes me terrified.
Could it be that the prince really put some kind of medicine in her food that made her infertile?

"Since you feel that something is wrong, let's leave Huang Dechang or the tea and snacks brought by His Highness when His Royal Highness comes to us at night, and have someone check it out, so we can find out what's going on?" The maid suggested.

Concubine Ruan nodded, agreeing with what the palace lady said.

That night, the crown prince was not in a hurry to go to Concubine Ruan's, nor did he have dinner at Concubine Ruan's.

Instead, after eating in the front yard, he reviewed the official documents for a while before going to Concubine Ruan's bedroom.

When they got there by chariot, Huang Dechang sang the newspaper in a high voice, "His Royal Highness is here!"

The next moment, Concubine Ruan brought a group of servants to the door to greet her, "I welcome Your Highness."

"I agreed to come and see your painting." Pei Xuanling helped Concubine Ruan up.

"." Concubine Ruan got up, raised her eyes to look at the man, and then entered the yard with the crown prince, "Today, when Xiao Quanzi brought the paint, I opened the box and took a look. Those paints that I bought blindly are much better."

Pei Xuanling: "As long as you like it."

While the two were talking, they went straight to the study.

Concubine Ruan ordered the servants to prepare drawing paper and paints, and when everything was ready, Huang Dechang dismissed all the servants.

For a while, only Huang Dechang was left in the room to serve Concubine Ruan and the Crown Prince.

Concubine Ruan stood in front of the writing desk, staring at a table of painting tools, "Your Highness, since this paint is from the land of Chu, can I make a painting about Chu land?"

"You can figure it out." Pei Xuanling walked to the desk with his hands behind his back.

"I heard that the scenery of East Lake in Chudi is unique, and it is a good place for poetry and picturesque. It just so happens that His Highness also inspected East Lake this time, so I drew a picture of the landscape of East Lake." I have never been to East Lake, so I need Your Highness to explain the local scenery to me."

Pei Xuanling nodded slightly, "Yes".

Next, the prince described the scenery of the East Lake, and Concubine Ruan painted according to the scenery described by the prince, which was a boudoir joy.

During this period, Huang Dechang brought a cup of tea and put it aside.

He first brought a cup of tea to the prince, "Your Highness, you have described the scenery for so long, drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst."

Pei Xuanling took the tea from Huang Dechang, and took a sip meaningfully.

Then, Huang Dechang stood aside, waiting for Concubine Ruan to pause for a while before serving tea.

Concubine Ruan was wearing a lotus-colored jacket and skirt, and her attire was more elegant than other concubines. She looked as gentle and gentle as her personality.

Especially when she was painting, she behaved dignifiedly and elegantly, with a quiet and elegant charm.

When Concubine Ruan stopped, Huang Dechang found the right time and handed Concubine Ruan a cup of tea, "Please drink tea."

"." Concubine Ruan lowered her eyes, looking at the seemingly ordinary cup of tea, "I'm not thirsty for now, just put it aside."

"." Huang Dechang smiled and replied "OK", "When you want to drink, just tell the servant, and the servant will pour it for you."

Concubine Ruan was busy painting and did not respond to Huang Dechang.

After about an hour or so, Concubine Ruan finished the landscape painting of East Lake, "Your Highness, I have finished painting myself."

At the beginning, the prince was helping Concubine Ruan describe the scenery of the East Lake, and then he found a book in the bookcase and sat aside to read.

Now that he heard that Concubine Ruan had completed the painting, the man put down the book in his hand and raised his feet to the desk to admire the painting made by Concubine Ruan.

Taking a closer look at the painting, Pei Xuanling gave an affirmative "Yeah", "In the painting, the willows are swaying, the cruise ship is slow, the waves are blooming, the blue waves are rippling, the winding paths and arch bridges, and the dikes in the distance, plus the tired birds in the sky, This painting gives people a sense of being there.”

"The scenery at sunset is the most beautiful, with a graceful and elegant atmosphere, what a picture of the East Lake landscape!"

"Your Highness praises it." Concubine Ruan said modestly, "The main thing is the paint that His Highness gave you."

After commenting on Concubine Ruan's paintings, Pei Xuanling's eyes fell on the tea Huang Dechang poured for Concubine Ruan not long ago.

This was already the third time Huang Dechang served tea to Concubine Ruan tonight, but because Concubine Ruan was busy painting, Huang Dechang put it aside every time.

Pei Xuanling picked up the tea cup that was placed aside, and casually handed it to Concubine Ruan, "I have been painting for more than an hour, drink some tea to quench my thirst."

"." Concubine Ruan stared at the brown-yellow tea in the teacup, and declined apologetically, "Your Highness, I have not slept well recently, let alone at night, even during the day I dare not drink too much tea, so as not to drink too much tea at night. Insomnia."

She looked at the dark night outside, "It's Hai time now, I absolutely dare not drink tea anymore, otherwise I won't be able to sleep all night."

If it were normal, it would be her great honor for His Royal Highness to bring tea to her in person, and she would take a few sips from the teacup whenever she said anything.

But it's different now, she suspects that the crown prince gave her the medicine to cause infertility, so she has to be careful.

Anyway, no matter what I say today, she will not eat any food handed over by the prince, master and servant!

When the prince leaves tomorrow, she will ask the imperial doctor to come over and check to see if there is anything tricky in the tea.

Huang Dechang, who was standing aside, was slightly startled when he saw this scene.

In the past, when he served tea to Concubine Ruan, Concubine Ruan would not drink it sometimes.

But side concubine Ruan would never refuse the tea offered to her by the crown prince, but today she even refused the tea offered by the crown prince?
Pei Xuanling's eyes turned imperceptibly, but he didn't force Concubine Ruan, "Since that's the case, then don't drink this tea."

He put the teacup aside, "It's getting late, put it down!"

After finishing speaking, the man lifted his foot and went to the inner room.

Seeing this, Concubine Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately called the maid who was close to her, and asked the maid to bring down the tea and put it away, so that tomorrow the imperial doctor can check whether there is any problem with the tea.

After instructing the maid, she followed the prince to the inner room and waited for the prince to change and wash.

Huang Dechang lit the sleeping incense that the prince always loved to smell in the inner room.

His Highness has been a light sleeper since he was a child, and most of the time he had to burn incense to fall asleep.

After some dressing and washing, the crown prince and side concubine Ruan both took a rest.

The servants also retreated one after another and closed the door behind them.

Not long after Concubine Ruan lay down, the man's hot body embraced her in his arms.

And she, as usual, shyly endured the man's pampering.
In the early morning of the next day, Concubine Ruan got up tired and waited for the prince to change clothes before going to court.

After the prince was sent away, the concubines came one after another to greet Concubine Ruan.

This morning, Concubine Ruan was absent-minded the whole time.

In addition, I was not in good spirits last night when I went to bed, so I dismissed everyone early.

As soon as the concubines left, Concubine Ruan said to the maid-in-waiting: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Imperial Physician Wang here, and tell him that I'm not feeling well, and ask him to come and ask for a safe pulse for me."

The Ruan family can be considered a well-known family in the capital, with a wide network of contacts.

That Imperial Physician Wang is an old imperial physician who has made good friends with the Ruan family. In the past few years since Concubine Ruan entered the palace, if she encountered a headache and fever, Imperial Physician Wang would diagnose the pulse and prescribe the medicine.

The palace maid replied "Yes", "You were tired last night, and this servant sees that you are not energetic. It will take at least half an hour for the imperial doctor to come and go. You should go back to sleep."

Last night, she was on vigil outside, and she heard the movement in the inner room until dawn.

Early this morning, the prince sympathized with his master and let him sleep until he woke up naturally.

But the master has always strictly abided by the rules, and still dragged his tired body to get up, waited for the prince to change and wash, and dealt with the concubines who came to the morning province.

Seeing the exhausted look on Master's face now, she was both happy for Master and felt sorry for Master.

"." As soon as last night was mentioned, Concubine Ruan's face flushed slightly, but she was indeed too sleepy, so she could only lift her feet and walk into the inner room, "I'll rest for a while, and when Wang Taiyi comes, you can invite her directly The inner room will diagnose my pulse."

Half an hour later, the maid invited Wang Taiji to the inner room.

"Master, Imperial Physician Wang is here." The palace maid lifted a corner of the bed curtain and called Concubine Ruan softly.

However, Concubine Ruan fell into a deep sleep, and the maid called out several times before she opened her eyes in a daze, "Is Doctor Wang here? Then please ask Doctor Wang to give me a pulse."

Doctor Wang first bowed to Concubine Ruan, and then sat on the side of the bed, put a silk handkerchief on Concubine Ruan's wrist through the bed curtain, and checked Concubine Ruan's pulse.

After checking the pulse as usual, Imperial Physician Wang said, "Chan Concubine Ruan, according to the old man's diagnosis, you are in good health except that you haven't had a good rest."

"Besides, is there any trace of my pulse being drugged?" Inside the bed tent, Concubine Ruan asked aloud.
