What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 41 Coming Soon
It's already the beginning of April. After doing the math, it's time for the master to come back.

Lin Ximeng closed her eyes and fell asleep quietly.

There was no decadence on his face, let alone discouragement, as if he really just had a peaceful sleep.

-

April [-]th was sunny and warm.

Lin Ximeng fell into a deep coma, and Qingqing stepped forward to test her breath from time to time.

When I really can't stand it, I will hide alone and cry for a while.

Bauhinia has noticed several times that her eye circles are red and swollen coming in from the outside.

"Sister Qingqing, I'm going to boil some water to wipe the master's body, and you go feed the master."

The gruel delivered by the dining room was crystal clear, with only a few grains of rice floating.

The master can't eat anything, so he only lives on this kind of porridge.

"Hey"

Qingqing responded, and quickly stepped into the room, the corners of her eyes and brows were rarely red and swollen, and there was a faint smile on her face.

Zijing murmured, "What kind of happy event did you encounter? You didn't cry today."

If you look carefully again, Qingqing has regained her solemn expression, where is there even half a smile?

She rubbed her eyes.

"I misread it"

With Master like this, no one can laugh.

The two of them fed the porridge and wiped the body, and it took half an hour to clean up the master.

Zijing sat on the bedside footstool, resting her chin on the spot.

"I don't know when the master will come back"

"Soon", Qingqing was firm.

"Did sister receive the letter?" Zijing suddenly raised her head.

"Me?", she smiled wryly and shook her head.

"I'm just a girl, what trust can I have?"

"Then you're still so sure, I'm worried to death"

"My master is auspicious, and nothing will happen. Let's persevere, and it will be fine soon, soon..."

By the end she was almost muttering to herself.

Zijing scratched her head, not caring, still restless.

-

Maybe God has eyes, on the third day after Qingqing finished speaking, Xie Chenyu came back.

The edge of the dark black clothes was slightly frayed, the soles of Zi Jinlin's soap boots were completely worn out, and even a corner of the jade crown on his head was missing.

All in all, he is very down and out, very different from the image of the romantic and suave prince in Yushu Linfeng in the past.

Even the old emperor shook his head when he saw it.

"Lao Liu, didn't you ask me for an errand to repair the study? Why did you run away suddenly?"

"Where did you go to make yourself so dilapidated?"

Xie Chenyu respectfully knelt down in front of the old emperor.

"Returning to the father, the son went to the south of the Yangtze River just to repair the project of the study"

The old emperor asked what he was doing in Jiangnan.

"The main beam in the upper study room has been in disrepair for a long time, and three of them have been eaten by moths, and wood chips often fall down. Every time it rains, the house is full of termites."

"My son went back to Jiangnan to buy wood."

Xie Chenyu said in high spirits that he bought ten hundred-year-old Chinese fir trees, which are fine in texture, vertical in texture, and sound like gold.

He also said that this time he was going to renovate the inside and outside of the study room, and even change the window lattices, tables and chairs, and he had the pride of doing a big job.

The old emperor nodded again and again, feeling warm in his heart.

Everyone is thinking about his throne, it is really rare that the sixth child has the heart to repair the study.

"it is good"

He slapped the table, swiped his pen and allocated another 3000 taels of silver.

"Do it well, if you need anything, just ask your father for it"

"Thank you Father"

Xie Chenyu made a few big salutes neatly, and when he got up accidentally, the hair crown on his head fell to the ground with a bang.

The old emperor felt distressed again.

"Hurry up and go back and clean up. It's rare that you are willing to do something serious. If you do well, Father will give you the title of king."

Xie Chenyu thanked her again before leaving.

Looking at the back of his son Zhang Yang going away, the old emperor slowly leaned back in his chair and looked at the thick pile of papers asking his second son Xie Chenke to be crowned prince.

The last letter is the queen's remonstrance.

It is said that the granddaughter of Duke Xin is a virtuous and virtuous woman who is worthy of being the prince and concubine. If the emperor has no objection, the tenth day of next month is a good day, so you can ask for a name.

"Ah"

He smiled faintly, put his hand in order to organize the notebooks, and ordered Liufu to burn them.

"Give the empress a message after burning, and she will say yes."

Mouth is full of sarcasm.

The queen is very smart, she never directly urges the crown prince to be appointed, but secretly messes with Chao Gang.

Her royal family is her biggest weapon.

A century-old family with great power, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty are more or less related to the Wang family.

It can be said that the roots are intertwined and the branches are flourishing.

He has been constrained for a long time, but he has no choice but to endure it all the time.

but……

The old emperor sat quietly for a while and summoned Liufu to inquire.

"How about Xu's fetal image?"

Liufu smiled and replied that the imperial physician visits the doctor several times a day, eats well and sleeps soundly.

"The fetus is six months old and is healthy and strong. Several times the imperial physician even boasted that it looked like a male fetus."

The old emperor immediately smiled and said hello three times.

"Then continue to live until she goes into labor"

Liufu's expression changed several times.

The queen sent people to remind her several times, saying that the concubine should be taken care of in the harem if she is pregnant, and that it is against the rules to live in the emperor's Qianqing Palace, so she asked him to persuade her.

Hehe, the emperor rules the world, when will it be his turn to be a eunuch talking too much.

Luk Fook never said anything, and it was the same this time.

Leaving Qianqing Palace, Liufu went all the way to Jiaofang Palace.

At that time, the empress was chatting and laughing with the second prince. They were wearing homely clothes, one was sitting on a chair and the other was sitting on a footrest, like a biological mother and child.

The second prince also changed from being serious in the past, and now he is kneeling under the empress's knee and Cheng Huan's knee.

"This multicolored stone comes from Hetian in the Western Regions. Although it is not as rare as emerald agate, it has a very good meaning."

"The local people say that if a stone can gather all five colors, its owner will be blessed by the heavens and his life will be smooth."

"is it?"

The queen looked at the polished and colorful stones, smiling all over her face.

"You should use this thought on the girl. If your father agrees, this matter should also be put on the agenda."

"The granddaughter of the Duke of Xin, I personally check it out. She is really virtuous, polite and strict. Don't let her down."

It really doesn't matter.

Who doesn't love the feeling of being flattered?

"The queen mother is right, she will definitely not"

Xie Chenke's salute was gentle and elegant, but his face was awkward and shy.

"Okay, stop teasing you"

The queen called the maids to order food, and was going to keep the second prince for dinner.

"What do you like to eat?"

"The sons and ministers have never paid much attention to their appetites. Whatever the mother eats, the son will follow suit."

The queen was amused again, and nodded his forehead.

"You child, I can only eat some soft and rotten sweets when I am old, what do you do when you are young, follow me to eat"

She had to order a few classic dishes.

Xie Chenke gave another burst of thanks.

At this time Fangrui came over and asked Liufu to see him.

"What is he here for?" The queen was silent.

Ask Xie Chenke to wait behind the screen, and the queen invites Liufu in.

"Eunuch Liufu has always been busy, why are you free to come to this palace, Jiaofang Palace today?"

As soon as the queen raised her hand, a court lady served tea.
