Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

"Gao Rang, open the door."

"I don't dare, Queen Mother. The emperor has said that when he is resting in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, others are not allowed to disturb him."

"What kind of rest? I'm obviously just listening to some eccentric music. I'm not doing my job properly, and yet I still say I'm resting." The Queen Mother tried to break through.

Gao Rang quickly stopped him.

Aunt Guan pushed Gao Rang to the ground.

The door of Taihe Palace was pushed open.

The beautiful scenery comes into view.

The emperor sat crookedly on the throne, holding a glass cup filled with fine wine.

Du Jiyan sat on the steps at the emperor's feet.

The dancer with her navel exposed was like duckweed in the sea, stepping on the big red square fox fur blanket to the beat of drums.

The Queen Mother stared at the Emperor across the threshold.

I was still thinking about how to wake up the emperor, and I was looking for words.

Unexpectedly, the emperor called the Queen Mother first: "The Queen Mother has lived in Cining Palace for a long time and it is too cold. It is rare to see such a lively time. Come, Gao Rang, bring the Queen Mother in and pour the wine for the Queen Mother."

Gao Rang shrank his neck and thought, Your Majesty, please spare the slave. The Queen Mother wanted to stab the slave to death with a walking stick. How could the slave have the guts to carry the Queen Mother into the palace.

The Queen Mother frowned.

The emperor clapped his hands and asked the dancers to stop: "Although these dancers are good, they are not to the Queen Mother's taste. The Queen Mother chants sutras every day in Cining Palace, and it is rare for her to indulge. Come on, please take those little eunuchs newly recruited from Nanfu. They say they are good at singing and pleasing to the eye, and they are fairer and tenderer, so call over ten or eight of them to perform a show for the Queen Mother."

In the past, Nanfu was full of singers and dancers, but now the business scope has been broadened, and there are also performances by young eunuchs.

You must know that although these people entered the palace and became eunuchs and purified their bodies, who could tell when they were wearing clothes?

Those who can get into Nanfu are all talented, tall, handsome, well-spoken, and maybe have eight-pack abs. Who wouldn't be confused by this.

Du Jiyan sat on the steps, put down his cup and his eyes widened: "Your Majesty, are there such benefits today?"

"Don't be impatient yet, you have plenty of time to watch. This time the little eunuch's show will be held, and the Queen Mother will sit in the front row."

Seven or eight young eunuchs danced in the Taihe Palace with their upper bodies bare and their plump abdominal muscles exposed. Their hair was tied with silver crowns and their faces looked like the full moon. The aesthetics of Nanfu were indeed online. These men made the tea-servers pour water. The little palace maids stared blankly.

"I remember that the Queen Mother's eyes are a little blurry. She may not be able to see clearly from such a distance. So, Queen Mother, please stop standing at the door and sit in the front row to enjoy it." The Emperor wants to fight against the Queen Mother himself.

Rows and rows of men.

Abdominal muscles.

belly button.

shining white.

Simply sparkling.

The Queen Mother's cane could hardly hold up.

What does your Majesty mean by this?

Qingtianbairi also made a bunch of noodles?

That's not right, they are all young eunuchs, not counting their appearance.

But who wouldn't know if he wasn't a eunuch? It would never sound good if word spread about it. There are hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling outside. If I enter this door, how can I, the Queen Mother, who has been widowed for many years, lose her dignity? The late emperor was so anxious that he was jumping in the sky.

This damn kid actually tested the Queen Mother with her beauty.

It was not like the Queen Mother had never seen the world when she was young.

It's coming, and it's still going to be late.

The Queen Mother turned around and walked down the steps, holding her walking stick, her heart pounding, and she even blushed a little.

All civil and military officials knelt outside the palace. Seeing the Queen Mother's posture, and then hearing the voices coming from the palace, they were all a little confused.

Just now it was the sound of strings and strings, and now it's roaring, haha, like practicing martial arts?

"Your Majesty, the people in Yongxing City are going to have trouble eating. Those profiteers are driving up prices. The problems in Yongxing City need to be solved urgently."

"Queen Mother, there is so much noise in Taihe Palace. Could it be that the Emperor is training troops in the palace?"

"The Queen Mother, I cannot see the Emperor. Please convey the wishes of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother did not dare to stop, for fear that the Emperor would rush out from the Palace of Supreme Harmony and drag her in. For the sake of innocence, the Queen Mother almost flew out of the Palace of Supreme Harmony: "The Ai family understands what you mean. A woman from the Ai family is a deep palace woman. The matter of Yongxing City will be discussed later when the Emperor comes out."

"Queen Mother..."

"Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother flashed out of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, leaving behind a group of ministers who looked at me and looked at you.

how?

To say that the emperor has gone out of line, this is not the first time that the emperor has gone out of line.

The Empress Dowager raised an army to investigate the crime, but failed and returned home.

What can outsiders like them do to the emperor?

Everyone took it out on Eucommia ulmoides again.

"Master Du, your daughter is here now. Look, she is having fun with the emperor in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, delaying all important national affairs."

Du Zhong smoothed his beard and raised his head high: "Why, Mr. Zhou also wants to have fun with the emperor?"

"A bunch of nonsense."

"Then let's stop kneeling here and talking nonsense. Let's retreat." Eucommia was the first to get up and walk back.

He always felt that the emperor was not stupid. Young people, although sometimes they went out of their way, but who had never been young before. There is nothing the Queen Mother can do, what can he do if he is a fifth-grade person?

Gao Rang came out with the fly whisk in his arms, stood on the steps and waved: "The emperor has decreed. If any of your beloved ladies want to enter the palace to watch singing and dancing, please invite me."

None of the officials dared to move.

"My lords, the singing and dancing in Nan's house are better than those in your house. Those singers are all stunning. If you like them, maybe the emperor can give them to the adults to take back." Gao Rang was delighted.

When the officials heard this, they quickly left.

Who could be so indifferent.

Can't you hear the good words?

The door of Taihe Palace was closed again.

The emperor made up for the deficit for more than ten days.

At first, the Queen Mother tried to find out the news, but later she found that the news was the same every day.

It just means that the emperor asked Nanfu to arrange a new repertoire and sing new songs in Taihe Palace. Du Changzai was still serving the dishes. Du Changzai also sent sauced duck and sauced pork to the small kitchen of Wanru Palace. Go in.

In other words, the emperor and Du Chang watched the show for three or four hours, and also rewarded the dancers and eunuchs with ten taels of silver each. The people in Nanfu were very happy. During the past few days when the emperor was recuperating, Nanfu The person has gained face.

The Queen Mother sighed. Since she couldn't see the Emperor anymore, she had better go to Jingren Palace to talk to the Queen's concubines.

The queen and concubine Wei's bellies were getting bigger.

In the past, the Queen Mother would criticize the Queen as a middle palace for not working. The Emperor was like a wild horse that could not be pulled back. The Queen, a middle palace, did not know how to assist the Emperor. How could it be that the Emperor's assistance went astray? Isn’t it because the palace has failed in its duty? Today is different from the past. The Queen is pregnant and everything should be done with her body as the top priority.

The queen curled up on the couch and ate nuts as usual.

Guiyuan put the peeled nuts on the plate, and the queen picked them up and put them in her mouth, chewing them, and gently caressed her belly.

The Queen Mother sat there looking at the fruit and sighed again.

"Does the Queen Mother eat nuts?" The Queen pushed the fruit in front of the Queen Mother.

"The Aijia cannot chew off more than it can chew."

"I forgot." The queen was a little embarrassed: "Your teeth were not in good shape five years ago. You bit a piece of coarse sand while eating melon seeds and chipped one of your teeth. Even the doctor couldn't help. You put it back. You won’t be able to eat hard food from now on.”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes.

Queen, I really want to thank you. I brought up those old things again for fear that the Aijia would forget them.

Otherwise, if you take the position of queen, not everyone has the ability to lift any pot, right?

I can't control the emperor's wanton behavior, so I want to go to Jingren Palace to take a breath, my dear queen, your words almost killed the Ai family.

Forget it, considering that the queen is pregnant, the queen mother doesn't want to get into trouble.

Concubine Wei was playing the harp in the side hall. When she heard that the Queen Mother was coming, she boiled the soup herself and brought it in herself.

She was carrying such a big bowl of soup unsteadily. When she entered the main hall, her feet went weak and she almost tripped over the incense burner. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly asked Aunt Guan to take the soup.

"Zhao Ning, the Aijia knows that you love the Aijia, but you are also pregnant, so you must not do these tedious tasks. What if you get tired from carrying such a big bowl? Look. I almost fell down just now, how dangerous it was, how did the people below take care of me."

The people serving the concubine quickly knelt down.

"I'm used to walking around. I can't take any time off. When I first entered the palace, I had to go to Cining Palace every day to greet you, the Queen Mother. Now that I'm healthy, I go less often. Don't blame me, Queen Mother." Wei Bin smiled.

The Queen Mother didn't see it that way: "According to the Ai family's wishes, you are not as good as the Queen in this regard."

The queen was stunned with the nuts in her mouth. The sun came out from the west and the queen mother came to praise her?

"The Queen is lazy and can't move two places a day. She can't do anything serious except eating and sleeping. This way, it's safer." The Queen Mother stroked Wei Zhaoning's hand: "You have to do this Like Queen Xuexue, after all, you are young and it is your first pregnancy, so you are very precious. If something goes wrong, what should you do? You will have a good time in the future, remember?"

Wei Bin nodded.

The queen pouted.

Forget it, the Queen Mother doesn't really like her as a queen anyway.

In the Queen Mother's mind, she was probably just like the thousand-year-old turtle spirit. In addition to eating and sleeping, she would spread her arms and bask in the sun.

But what the Queen Mother said seems to be right. Hasn’t it been like this all these years?

In this case, let’s eat nuts.

The queen asked the longan to prepare some brown nuts, and put them into her mouth one by one and chewed them.

The Queen Mother was leaving and said that she would not let the Queen and the concubines see her off.

The queen did not move.

Concubine Wei chased her into the courtyard and knelt at the Queen Mother's feet.

"I heard that the emperor recently asked Du Chang to stay at his bedside."

The Queen Mother clutched her Buddhist beads and said calmly: "Zhao Ning, the Emperor is a man, and it is inconvenient for you and the Queen. There must be someone to sleep with you."

The queen listened with open ears and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the word "to sleep with". It turned out that it was about sleeping with someone. Anyway, she was not jealous of anyone who wanted to sleep with her, so she might as well eat nuts.

Concubine Wei said in a low voice: "My sister and I are pregnant, so the emperor doesn't come often. If word spreads, wouldn't it make people talk? Du Changzai often attends the bed, The emperor thinks too highly of the Du family."

"Let's not talk about respect. Du Changzai's father is only a fifth-grade man."

"I heard that the Emperor and Du Changzai have not left the Palace of Supreme Harmony these days, and they ask people from Nanfu to sing and dance every day. I heard that in the past, only women performed, but now the slaves in Nanfu are so bold that they even Got a batch of young eunuchs..."

The Queen Mother's heart trembled, and she held Aunt Guan's arm tightly before she stood still.

The queen listened again and secretly hated herself for having missed the chance to watch the singing and dancing because she was raising her baby in Jingren Palace with a pregnant belly.

"What's so rare about Nanfu's singing and dancing? When you have a baby with the queen, let the people from Nanfu come to Jingren Palace to dance." The Queen Mother quickly walked out of Jingren Palace.

Wei Bin was a little disappointed.

The Queen ate her nuts from the plate.

When he entered the palace in the past, although the emperor respected her as the queen of the middle palace, he never had any contact with her, and she was only a queen in name only.

Now that she was even pregnant with a child, she never thought that she would have a child in this life. For this reason, she was grateful to the emperor's eight generations of ancestors. In addition, she did not dare to expect anything else.

Wei Bin gently stroked the queen's pregnant belly and let out a long sigh.

Since the Queen became pregnant, she sighed more often.

Concubine Wei stroked the queen's belly, and the queen became inexplicably nervous, and the nuts on the plate no longer smelled good.

"The emperor favors Du Chang, so isn't my sister worried?"

"worry about what?"

Wei concubine......

"Now that I am pregnant, Doctor Zhang said that it is best if you can eat and sleep well if you don't have to worry about anything." The queen kept in mind Doctor Zhang's words.

Wei Bin scratched the queen's belly with her index finger: "Yes, my sister is really pregnant, as long as she can eat and sleep. No matter how favored Du Changzai is, she has no children. The favor without children is in vain. These Virtual things are unreliable. All the things I have now are virtual. I can’t have children, right sister."

The queen became nervous when it came to having children.

Wei Bin opened her clothes, took out a cotton bag from her belly and threw it on the ground: "I can't see anyone with this thing every day. I'm suffocated to death."

This was not the first time that Wei Bin had thrown away her fake pregnancy belly. The queen was still very frightened, as if she could not do anything shameful. She quickly asked Guiyuan to close the doors and windows, and then personally picked up the cloth bag for the concubine Wei and patted it clean: "Why are you doing this, Zhao Ning. "

"My sister is pregnant with the child, and the child is her support. Unlike me, I have nothing. At first, my sister was not favored, and the emperor disliked her very much. In order to continue the glory of the Wei family, I entered the palace. I thought that I could have a child with my favor. I want to give birth to a child, but unexpectedly I will be unable to have a child for the rest of my life. In this regard, I am not as good as my sister. Without children, and without the emperor's favor, what else do I have?" There were bloodshot eyes in Wei Bin's eyes. She often couldn't sleep at night.

When she first entered the palace, she was the Wei family's daughter that everyone envied.

She is good-looking, talented and educated, loved by her family and cherished by the Queen Mother. Although her elder sister is a bit silly, she is still in the middle of the palace.

At that time, she did not take these women in the palace seriously.

Even those ladies from wealthy families were not worthy of carrying shoes in her eyes.

Her background, they may not be able to achieve even if they work hard all their lives.

She is noble, calm and composed.

When she was a show girl in Yongfu Palace, she was not in a hurry even if she was not summoned by the emperor, because she knew that what should be hers would always be hers. She seemed to have a reassurance that whether she was playing the piano or writing, her heart It's all safe.

After knowing that she couldn't get pregnant, she couldn't sit still.

What is a woman in the harem who cannot get pregnant?

In the past, she was somewhat favored and could often accompany him to his bed. Now that she was wearing a fake pregnancy belly, Du Jiyan often stayed with the emperor. She was a little anxious.

She has neither children nor grace.
