A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 931 The Emperor’s Grandson

Chang'an,

East Palace, Mingde Hall.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian looked at the mountains of memorials piled up on the imperial court with a solemn expression. Heavy rains had been pouring for days, and the Yellow and Huaihe rivers had flooded thirty states.

It was worse than last year's flood.

"Your Highness, it's getting late," the prince ordered Zhang Chengen to come in, "Princess Su sent someone to deliver black-bone ginseng soup. They said it was black-bone chicken from Jiangnan West Road and Changbai old mountain ginseng from Goguryeo. Princess Su stewed it herself. of······"

When Li Chengqian heard that Princess Su had stewed the soup, he was not moved or happy at all, but instead frowned.

"If you don't want to drink it, ask someone to take it back."

Zhang Chengen whispered, "This is the crown prince's wish."

"Gu is in good health and is not suitable for drinking ginseng soup. Forget it, don't take it back. Send it to Han Zhaoxun."

Zhang Chengen himself didn't like Concubine Su very much. She was too cold and arrogant, and he had a deep-rooted dislike for Concubine Su, the eunuchs like them. However, Han Zhaoxun was extremely polite to him. Not only was he often rewarded, but he was also very close to her even when he talked to her.

"Han Zhaoxun, His Highness brought black chicken and ginseng soup with his slaves. He also said that he was busy with government affairs today and would not be back until later."

In March, the Su family and the Han family entered the East Palace one after another. Different from the bustle when the Su family entered the palace, now Concubine Su's place was deserted.
I took the chicken soup to Han Zhaoxun's palace.

He has served the prince for many years. He should be polite to the female officials around the prince who just got married this year, but he knows that the prince does not like Princess Su. Even if they get married this year, But the prince stayed at Concubine Su’s place for three nights a month.
I go there every ten days and it's unbeatable.

After saying that, he asked the palace servants to make tea and put four colored snacks on the table.

But Cheng Qian didn't seem to hear it, "Send it to Han Zhaoxun, and tell her that I will go there later today. The Huanghuai River flooded thirty states, and the court is busy with disaster relief."

Hearing this, Han Yingsu looked surprised and didn't know what to do with the chicken soup.

Zhang Chengen retired and took the black-bone chicken and ginseng soup to Han Zhaoxun. The female official sent by the Crown Princess Su to deliver the chicken soup did not expect the Crown Prince to transfer the Crown Princess's heart to Ma Xianggong's adopted daughter.
"Isn't this bad?"

As the crown prince's Neifang Ling, a fifth-grade eunuch wearing a scarlet robe, he is the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and he is also the adopted grandson of Zhang Anan of Damiao Temple.

"Then bring it," Zhang Chengen said in a cold voice without giving any face to the Crown Princess, and asked the eunuch to take the casserole and leave.

The rest of the time was basically spent at Han Zhaoxun's place.

"This black-bone chicken and ginseng soup was actually stewed by Princess Su and just given to His Highness today, but His Highness said he didn't want to drink the ginseng soup, so he specially asked his slave to bring it to Zhao Xun to replenish his health."

Wu Huaiyu's wife Fan Xuanfu, Madam of Jin State, was Zhang Ananda's adopted granddaughter. Wu Huaiyu was also extremely polite to Zhang Chengen, calling him "brother" when he met her. Han Zhaoxun also called Zhang Chengen "uncle" in private.

"Excuse me, uncle, please run around." Han Yingsu, who was wearing a pomegranate skirt, greeted him with a smile, her tone of voice was friendly, "Uncle, sit down quickly."

"Are you going to disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order?"

"Since His Highness ordered it to be given to Zhao Xun, all Zhao Xun needs to do is thank His Highness for the reward."

Zhang Chengen usually helped Han Zhaoxun a lot, teaching some palace rules, and even often helped to maintain it in front of the prince.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess cooked this stew herself,"

Zhang Chengen was a eunuch, and his mind was actually smaller. Concubine Su looked down on him in her heart, and Han Zhaoxun called him uncle, so he naturally became close to Han Zhaoxun. Besides, the prince also liked Han Zhaoxun.

The prince seemed to treat Princess Su with respect, but Zhang Chengen knew that the prince didn't like Concubine Su, so he just pretended to be polite.
But the prince was very fond of Han Zhaoxun, Wu Huaiyu's niece and Ma Zhou's adopted daughter.

"My slave dare not,"

After saying that, he added, "I already had people try the dishes."

Testing the food is not a test of saltiness. There are special people in the palace who test the food. It is actually a test of poison.

This soup was originally cooked by Concubine Su for the prince, so it was not necessary. However, Zhang Chengen was always cautious in doing things and had already tried it before delivering it to the prince.

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness and the Crown Princess, and I would also like to thank my uncle,"

Han Yingsu asked someone to fetch a porcelain bowl and scooped out chicken soup to drink. However, she vomited as soon as she took a sip, which frightened Zhang Chengen's face.

"What's wrong with Zhao Xun?"

"I just suddenly felt nauseous,"

As he said that, Han Yingsu felt nauseated and vomited again.
Zhang Chengen was so frightened that his face turned pale. Although he had already tried the food, no one could be sure.

"Call the imperial doctor quickly,"

After that, he sent someone to inform the prince.

This matter was too involved, and Zhang Chengen did not dare to hide it. After all, the soup was sent by the princess, and the scary thing was that it was originally given to the prince, but the prince did not drink it and gave it to Han Zhaoyi.
Something happened.
Then who can be sure whether Concubine Su wanted to attack the prince, but she just happened to let Han Zhaoxun drink it?

Although this possibility is extremely small, who can guarantee that

All of a sudden, everything was going crazy.

The prince was originally reading the report on the Huanghuai flood, but he was shocked when he heard that Han Zhaoyi started vomiting after drinking the chicken soup that was sent to him.

Li Chengqian's face was ashen and his lips trembled, "How dare she!"

"Call Su!"

Cheng Qian ran all the way to Yichun Palace where Han Zhaoxun lived.
"Ying Su, how are you? What's wrong with you? Where's the imperial doctor? Is the imperial doctor here?" Cheng Qian shouted as soon as he came in.

Zhang Chengen hurriedly came to greet him, "Your Highness, the imperial doctor has arrived. It was a misunderstanding. It turned out to be a happy event."

He beamed, "Han Zhaoxun is pregnant. The doctor said it's almost two months."

Cheng Qian was stunned, "Yes?"

Han Zhaoxun entered the East Palace three days later than Concubine Su. Counting the time they passed the palace, it had already been a hundred days. The Crown Prince, Concubine Su and Han Zhaoxun were all fifteen or sixteen years old.

But since we got married, we naturally consummated the marriage.

Han Zhaoxun was pregnant at this time, which was actually normal, but because he was young and only three months after marriage, no one was in a hurry if she hadn't been pregnant before.

"Am I going to be a father?" Cheng Qian murmured to himself, and then his face flushed with excitement, "I'm going to be a father, hahaha,"

Cheng Qian laughed,

He laughed and ran inside, "Yingsu,"

In Yichun Palace, Yingsu was already lying down to rest.
The old imperial doctor prescribed some medicated food for the health of the fetus and the mind, and was telling the palace maids to pay attention.
Cheng Qian passed by like a gust of wind, ran all the way to Han Yingsu, grabbed her hand, "Yingsu, do I really want to be an Aye?"

Han Yingsu turned red, and nodded a little shyly but happily, "I just found out about it, too."

"Great, great, I want to announce the good news to my father and mother in Jiucheng Palace immediately, to Ma Xianggong and Gaotang County's wife, and to the teacher in Liuqiu... "

"Ah, there's no need to be so arrogant, I just got pregnant."

"I should tell everyone that this is a great thing, Gu's first child,"

"Did Lao Fengyu say whether it was a boy or a girl?"

Han Yingsu was very touched when she saw the prince being so excited. She was actually worried before the wedding, but because she and the prince had met many times before, they knew each other somewhat, and her uncle approved of the marriage, so... When her mother and stepfather asked her for her opinion, she readily agreed.

After entering the palace, she didn't expect that the prince treated her very well. In the past few months, the two of them had been very affectionate, which made her feel like she had fallen into a honeypot.

And now I'm pregnant,

This made her almost faint with happiness.

"I have to thank His Highness for the black-bone chicken soup," Zhang Chengen said with a smile.

At this time, the imperial doctor was also nearby and explained that this was an early pregnancy reaction of pregnant women. From now on, the diet should be as light as possible and not greasy.
"Don't worry too much about some morning sickness, it will get better after a while,"

Just talking,
The Crown Princess Su was informed. She lived in the Li Zheng Palace. She had stewed the chicken soup herself, thinking that it would increase her favor with the prince. However, who expected the palace people to repay her favor? Not only did the prince not drink the soup she had worked so hard to stew, he also I'll reward that bitch in Yichun Palace.

Although Su is not a vicious woman, the prince did not like her even before she entered the palace. Her marriage had twists and turns, and she finally got engaged, and then successfully married into the East Palace. I thought everything was fine.

But who knew that the prince was so indifferent to her after entering the palace, but instead he was so kind to Han Yingsu.

For a hundred days and nights, the prince stayed in her main hall for ten nights in total. Including the wedding night, the prince only visited her three times.

And every time I am more and more dissatisfied,

But Su is just a teenage girl. Although she is a noble lady, a newly married woman is always shy and passive. She doesn’t know how to respond to Cheng Qian, and even becomes nervous and stiff every time. This It also made the prince more and more unhappy.

Later, although I came every ten days, I came late, slept when I came, and left early.

Su couldn't take the initiative in this matter, so she could only stare wide-eyed at night. In the sleepless night, the two of them couldn't even say a few words.
But I heard that the prince was always talking and laughing at Yichun Palace.

The strong contrast made Su feel resentful towards Han Yingsu.

When she heard that the prince gave the chicken soup she had worked so hard to stew to Han Zhaoxun, that bitch, Su was so angry that she dropped the ivory comb in her hand.

Originally, the prince was supposed to visit her today. She wanted to serve the prince well.
Unexpectedly.

He was still angry, but someone came to the prince's side and said that Han Zhaoxun had vomited after drinking her chicken soup. The prince was furious and told her to come over quickly.

When Su heard the news, she was startled at first, then secretly happy in her heart, but then she became frightened and uneasy.

"I...I didn't do anything," Su almost subconsciously thought that Han was poisoned by drinking chicken soup, and then thought that someone was putting the blame on her.
"Princess, please come over quickly,"

Although Su was uneasy and frightened, she had to face it, so she had to pack up hastily and go to Yichun Palace, waiting for the anxious one to arrive.
But he found that everyone in Yichun Palace was smiling happily, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. Is Sister Zhaoxun okay?"

"The Crown Princess is here?" Cheng Qian raised his eyelids and greeted her expressionlessly, "You came just in time. I have good news for you. Ying Su is pregnant."

Su Shi was stunned on the spot.

What good news is this?
