Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 33 Qingfu Emperor Ji
What is the status of the queen mother, not to mention the mother of a county king, even if the emperor and concubine passed away, the mourning is nothing more than that, not to mention that the old people in the palace know that the husband of the He family is suspected of treason, even if his son later became the county king, he would have died. There is no royal honor.I once asked Xue Po the reason in private, but she also had a bitter face and didn't know anything, she just said: "During this period of time, the government affairs are complicated and annoying, it's also a good thing for the queen mother to worship the Buddha, at least she can calm down."

Indeed, as Xue Po said, July and August in the ninth year of Zhengzhang was truly eventful for Da Zhou.The sudden death of Mr. Moge made Muhan, who was not full-fledged, take the throne in a hurry, and his foundation was unstable.But his gang of half-brothers, who were eyeing tigers, united with various tribes, and the mercenaries were self-reliant, which seemed to be waiting for the opportunity to become king on their own.

As for Dazhou and Hehe, not only is there the bond of sister Obscure Moon, but more importantly, they border each other and have been in business for many years. Once there is civil strife in Hehe, it will inevitably affect the border.

This year's abundant rain in spring and summer, in addition to creating a bumper rice harvest in the south of the Yangtze River, has also caused the lower reaches of the Yellow River to flood again.To the east of Hangu Pass, three dikes burst, leaving millions of refugees homeless, posing a safety hazard to the capital.

Even I, who is in the harem, feel bad, let alone the queen mother and the emperor's brother.

In the season of osmanthus and ten-mile lotus in three autumns, Jing's concubine Li's fetus gave birth.

Xue Po is very good at the tea ceremony. Every winter, he collects snow water and mixes it with dried plum petals to make double clear tea. In summer, he asks the little palace maid to collect lotus dew early and use it to brew seasonal tea.So Fanghuadian's fragrant tea is famous, but I'm not as beautiful as her. I can't even tell the difference between Biluochun and Yuqian Longjing, so I can only listen with a wry smile when she proudly introduces her special works.Seeing that I really don't have that appreciation, Xue Po suddenly sighed at the cow playing the piano, so he had to lower his head to savor it carefully.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, I brought the topic to our upcoming nephew again, saying: "Now the eyes of the palace are all watching. If it is a son, then... some people are afraid that their tails will go up to the sky." After all, I am a bit funny myself, where do people get their tails from?
Xue Po understood what I meant, curled her lips, and said contemptuously: "It's better to be a son. With her position, she can't raise the prince, so she can be raised by Sister Yuejing, lest a good child is spoiled."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, who is nothing to worry about, isn't there the Empress Dowager Shu behind her?"

Xue Po was stunned, then only annoyed, before he could speak, there was a commotion outside, and I immediately understood that it was time for the results to be announced, and sure enough Chuanzhu trotted all the way to Xue Po, panting and said: "Emperor Ji, gave birth, Di Ji."

Xue Po became anxious, and said: "It's Di Ji Di Ji's, you are talking about tongue twisters." As soon as he finished speaking, he understood, and asked: "Have you given birth to a Di Ji, daughter?" Nod vigorously.

On August [-]th of the ninth year of Zhengzhang, the eldest daughter of the emperor was born.That is, the later Qingfu Emperor Ji.

The birth of Emperor Ji Qingfu was the biggest joyous event for the royal family this year. After all, it was the first child of the imperial brother. Although it was a girl, it was a sign of the prosperity of the royal family.It was easy for others to congratulate, and the joy of the emperor's brother and the queen mother was beyond words.The title of Qingfu was personally assigned by the Empress Dowager at the third baptism ceremony, and the imperial brother decreed that Li Fanshan, the birth mother of the emperor's concubine, be promoted to Ronghua.

Now that the baby is on the ground, we can all go and see it.A year later, I stepped into Yuping Palace again, thinking that the last time I came back was because Xun Fangyi was pregnant, but this time I came to congratulate Li Ronghua on the birth.

Probably because Xue Po also arrived, Hong Jing, Li Fanshan's dowry, greeted her personally, and said, "I have seen the two imperial concubines, and the imperial concubines are blessed and safe. Our little master has long been looking forward to the arrival of the two imperial concubines. It's not that I'm inconvenient, I'm afraid I've already greeted you out of the second gate in person."

Although it is an auspicious word, it is rare for this court lady to say it smoothly and gratifyingly. I smiled and said: "Rong Hua has a heart, and you have a heart too."

Xiaoyun hurriedly handed over a red envelope, Hongjing smiled and waved her hand to decline, saying repeatedly: "Diji is giving money to slaves, it's clearly a hand reward, you and Xuepo Diji are here to see little Diji, The little Diji has not yet confiscated the gift, how dare the servants go over her to ask for the reward."

What he said was so funny that even Xue Po, who was not very happy to come, couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "It's really a loyal servant, he came here to beg for a reward for Qingfu."

After entering the inner hall, I saw that now that a child has been added, Li Ronghua has more people here, but the side hall, which is not spacious at all, is a bit crowded.Li Ronghua is not out of the moon, so she is only wearing a moon-white robe with a lotus pattern. She has very outstanding eyebrows, but now she is a little delicate and beautiful, and she bows slightly when she sees us on the lap.Said: "Trouble Empress Xuepo, I'm pregnant with Empress Concubine Shu, the concubine's place is small, please don't dislike it."

I just thought she was being polite, seeing that Xue Po was only waiting for the nanny to come with little Di Ji in her arms, so I had no choice but to say politely to her: "I don't feel cramped, on the contrary, it's much warmer, after all, I have a child."

Li Ronghua said: "What the Diji said is true, but the concubine always feels that it is because of his poor fortune that he failed to give birth to an heir for the emperor." After saying that, she really sighed.

Xue Po took a piece of hibiscus cake and ate it slowly, seeing that I was about to speak again to comfort him, he hurriedly stuffed a piece of two-color bean cake into my hand, and said to himself: "Emperor Ji is also the heir of the emperor, young master, don't belittle yourself. There are many concubines, not all of them are destined to have children."

Li Ronghua raised her eyebrows, as if she was dissatisfied with Xue Po's blunt speech, but before she could speak, someone from outside came to report that the wet nurse had already brought the little Di Ji.

For me, the attraction of a newborn baby is far higher than listening to people's arguments. I went to her side to have a look, and it really was a very cute little guy.Although she was only a few days old, her skin was still a little wrinkled, but the soft fetal hair and flushed cheeks were all tender and tender, especially the black and bright eyes, which were full of clarity, so beautiful.I couldn't help but say, "Qingfu is so beautiful."

When mentioning his daughter, Li Ronghua was slightly moved, with a slight smile on his face, patting her delicate red peony-colored swaddle.She obviously liked the unfortunate look, but she said, "You're so young, you know how to eat, drink and sleep all day long. Your Highness really flatters her."

Xue Po also really likes this little niece, and teased me for a long time, talking to each other about the funny things when they were young, in fact, we two are the youngest royal daughters in the first dynasty, and we can't say enough about this novel species of baby girl curiosity.

However, Xiao Qingfu was not very face-saving, at first he looked at us quietly with his bright black eyes, but after a while he became angry, and Xue Po was so scared that he wondered if he hurt her, the nanny explained in a funny way Said: "Your Highness, don't take offense, Emperor Ji Qingfu is sleepy, children sleep a lot."
