Work overtime

Chapter 550 Surprise

"Empress." Fan Changzai stood there uneasily, with tears in his eyes, very touching.

She didn't expect that Concubine He would change her temperament drastically. She thought that pretending to be weak would win the sympathy of Concubine He and Jiang Yuebai.

Moreover, she subconsciously thought that the concubine would be unable to have children due to poor health, so she would find a way to keep the child and keep it with her in the future. But he didn't expect that He Fei didn't care at all.

She was even worried that after the concubine took away the child, she would go to the mother to keep the child and kill her.

Looking at it now, it seems that I have thought too much.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said softly, "I think I and the concubine are right. Both concubines in the first palace of Yanxi Palace have good news. I am afraid it is the safest and most auspicious place in the harem. Women are weak by nature, so for Mother is strong. You are going to be a mother, so of course you have to be strong. It is not good for your health to cry all the time during this great joy of giving birth to a son and a blessing. Don’t let the emperor worry about you."

The last sentence was purely made up to appease the subordinates.

If you don't have the ability to protect your child, even if you give birth to it, it will be in vain.

Fan Changzai looked at Jiang Yuebai hesitantly, his eyes full of strangeness.

The other party seems to be too dazzling for people to look directly at.

She lowered her eyes involuntarily.

A month ago, Jiang agreed to be just like him, but now she was the empress who was in charge and had the power to make decisions.

My heart was hurt deeply.

Controlling his inner emotions, he bit his lower lip and said slowly, "Your Majesty is right. I should be strong."

Lixia served each of the three of them a bowl of rotten mung bean soup.

Smelling the aroma of mung bean soup makes me feel refreshed.

Jiang Yuebai stirred the spoon and said softly, "As long as you can figure it out. Eat some mung bean soup to get rid of the anger. Don't worry, the palace has palace rules, and I will make the decision for you. You reacted badly, and I will The palace will arrange some capable nuns and maids to serve you. If you have any other requests, please tell me and Concubine He. We will make the decision for you."

Fan Changzai was conflicted, then raised his head and said what was in his heart: "Empress, I want to ask you something."

"You said."

Fan Changzai pursed his thin lips and said, "I would like to ask the empress to move to Taorui Palace. Do you think it's okay?"

Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little surprised, "Sister Fan, are you serious? Many people have died in Taorui Palace, and they all said that the evil spirit was so powerful that it hurt people. Doctor Shen and my little sister both died because of not seeing each other. Clean things are scared out of their wits and have amnesia.”

Fan Changzai's attitude was firm, but his tone was slow, "The palace is not a peaceful place to begin with, and people die everywhere. I don't believe in ghosts and gods. I am only worried that most of the time, people's hearts are worse than ghosts. I am a living Bodhisattva." A great hero with great blessings will only trust his wife as a concubine."

Jiang Yuebai secretly sighed at Fan Changzai's sobriety. If he cared about whether he had killed anyone or not, and whether he was clean or not, there would really be no place in this harem for people to live in peace.

He sighed faintly, "I was just like you before, but this time I believe her. I saw Jinxiu twice after she left, and I only felt missing, not afraid."

"Is there such a thing?" Concubine He looked at Jiang Yuebai with concern and said quickly, "Sister Jinxiu is so memorable. After all, people and ghosts have different paths. You have a body again. It's not good to have too much contact. I heard The emperor gave Ning'an Palace to my sister to live in. Why don't my sister move there?"

Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and sighed, "Jinxiu is my sister, she will definitely not harm me. Let's wait until the emperor comes back before we move."

Jiang Jinxiu was granted the title on her deathbed. According to the ancestral system, she only had to remain in mourning for seven days and be buried in the Ming Tombs after simple rituals. However, the emperor temporarily took charge of the expedition in person, and the Ministry of Rites did not dare to make any decisions, so the coffin was still parked in Taorui Palace.

Jiang Yuebai plans to wait until his sister is buried before moving away.

Fan Changzai lowered her eyes. She had never encountered strange things, let alone ghosts. She had always been dubious about ghosts and gods, and she didn't feel really scared.

There are very mysterious rumors in the palace that Taori Palace is haunted. It is not a secret in the harem that monks, Taoists, and masters perform rituals in Taorui Palace for seven consecutive days. I also heard from the nuns in other palaces about the past events of Taori Palace and its haunted history.

She didn't take it seriously before and just treated it as an anecdote. Now after listening to Jiang Yuebai's words, I felt a little timid and fearful in my heart.

Jiang Yuebai naturally saw Fan Changzai's hesitation and said with a bit of melancholy:

"Since Sister Fan has already made up her mind, let's move here tonight. Jinxiu was the best friend to you during her lifetime. If you move here, she will definitely be very happy. There happens to be a small kitchen here, so she can nourish and recuperate her. But if she wants to consider it, After everything is done, when the emperor returns to the court, I will move to Ning'an Palace in accordance with the imperial edict. Then my sister will live here alone." Jiang Yuebai's sudden change of attitude made Fan Chang feel panicked and confused. measures.

She also thought that Jiang Yuebai would move to Ning'an Palace last night, but she thought that Jiang Yuebai would not move because of the deep love between the sisters. After all, if her sister is dead, how can her sister leave with peace of mind and live in a more luxurious place with better conditions? Otherwise, wasn’t the previous sisterly love just a show?

It's a pity that she thought wrong. Jiang Yuebai didn't think like ordinary people. She will not be kidnapped by morality.

She was not so pedantic that she disobeyed the emperor and refused to live in Ning'an Palace, which had better conditions, and insisted on guarding this remote place for her sister.

Being kind to someone and keeping someone in your heart is never about waiting for her to pass away.

Fan Chang said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty is right. It's because I didn't think well."

Jiang Yuebai's attitude was still gentle and he said with great concern, "Sister Fan, please think about it slowly. You are a good sister of Jinxiu. If I can help you, I will naturally try my best to help you. Seeing that you are so worried, it is not a big deal. If you want to move here, you can move here. If you decide not to move, you will be spared two months of greetings. You can take good care of your fetus in Yanxi Palace and stay locked up until three months have passed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me." Fan Changzai burst into tears. He quickly stood up and knelt down to express his gratitude, but Jiang Yuebai stopped him with his eyes.

"Between you and me, sisters, don't kneel down all the time, and be companions together. It's getting late, and I'm afraid you're tired too. Lixia, ask Xiao Luozi to arrange a soft sedan to take Fan Changzai back to the palace. You are on your way. You must be steady, Fan Changzai is pregnant, so you have to be careful."

Fan Chang hesitated for a moment and tried his best to speak tactfully, "Sister, don't blame me for being too talkative. There is a saying in our hometown that always encountering ghosts will damage the yang. Your Majesty is pregnant now, so you can wear some auspicious objects."

Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Thank you for your concern, sister. They are all wearing them here."

As he spoke, he raised his wrist and saw several circles of wooden or jade beads, all of which had been illuminated.

"I'm retiring, my queen, please take care of yourself."

Jiang Yuebai looked at her with a smile and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Fan Changzai said no more. When he resigned and left, he couldn't help but look back. He saw He Fei moving a chair next to Jiang Yuebai, stroking the bead string on Jiang Yuebai's exposed wrist, and saying something with a smile. .

Jiang Yuebai turned to look at He Fei with a smile on his face.

The two of them were like friends who had been separated for many years, and they looked very close.

A sense of sourness welled up in my heart.

Fan Changzai turned around and saw a field of flower trees. At the end of the flower trees was the west wing of Taorui Palace, where Jinxiu once lived.

The sun was glaring, and my eyes felt wet.

I couldn't help but sigh heavily.

She really likes Jinxiu. Jinxiu left, and her heart felt empty. From now on, I'm afraid there will never be anyone who can be as infatuated with her as Jinxiu and talk to her about everything.

Lixia greeted warmly, "My young master, please be patient and wait here. The sedan will come here."

Fan Changzai nodded and stood quietly.

Han Ziqian happened to go out to do some errands and was walking towards them.

Dressed in a eunuch uniform, he could not hide his handsome face and chic temperament.

Lixia stepped forward nervously and reported her work, "Eunuch Han, your Majesty is chatting with Concubine He in the room. Your servant is here waiting for the sedan to take Fan Changzai back to the palace."

Han Ziqian nodded expressionlessly and went straight into the house.

Fan Chang was also very nervous following Lixia and secretly looked at her a few times.

I secretly sighed in my heart, it turns out that this is the legendary Han Shaofu who was left by the emperor to serve Jiang Yuebai, and was a former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
