Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 1937 Five Volumes 235 Thousands of Knots (Six Thousands)
In June, even though Wanxi had a big belly, the emperor took Wanxi to the Yuanmingyuan.The water in the garden is light, and the mountains and waters are beautiful. It is more comfortable than being locked in the Forbidden City.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent someone to discuss with Wanxi the day when Yuye will leave the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is ready to prepare rewards and items for the woman to leave the palace when she has reached the age limit.

Wanxi wanted to ask Yuye to leave this June, but Yuye knelt outside the palace door and begged all night, begging to wait until Wanxi gave birth, and then finally serve the little master after the full moon before leaving.

"Master... Anyway, master and servant, the slave has been with the master since childhood, how can the master not ask the slave to serve the master after giving birth... If you leave like this, the slave will regret it for the rest of his life. The slave begs the master to forgive Slave for two months. The slave will not embarrass the master after staying for the full moon."

They are all children who have been watched and grown up since childhood, and Yang couldn't bear it, and pleaded for Yuye.

"In any case, if you count the days, the day you will give birth should be in July. Even if you wait for the child to be full moon, it will only be in August. Even if it is only two months away from this time. No matter how urgent you are, you should be patient It's up to her this time. Otherwise, she will really suffer to death if she goes out of the palace like this."

Yu Rui also interceded for Yu Ye in a low voice, "... After all, Mao Tuan'er has already left the palace first, so the master doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Besides, the master is here now, who dares to gossip in front of the emperor If not, we have to try to see if they still have the guts!"

Wanxi finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she nodded.
.
In the following days, Yuye served Wanxi more carefully and waited for the birth of the little master; at the same time, she was also packing her own things, quietly looking forward to the days after leaving the palace... At that time, I finally don't have to worry, I can't be with Mao Tuan We met.

At that time, the two of them accompanied Li Wenda together, and when the sun was setting, seeing flowers blooming all over the mountains and valleys, they were just like an ordinary family of three.

If you can do this in this life, you are already content.

Thinking about it this way, her mood suddenly became brighter.Regardless of whether the master in the palace has his wish fulfilled for many years or the life outside the palace, people are full of hope, so she has nothing to worry about.
.
In June, there was a news from the former court: the emperor chose Batu, the second son of Linqin, the former king of Bahrain, to inherit the king of Bahrain, but skipped over Linqin's eldest son, Heshuo's son-in-law Delek. .

Everyone in the harem was a little surprised by this.

Concubine Ying was born in the Eight Banners of Mongolia and also from the Balin family, so her reaction to this matter was even stronger, "Delek is the forehead of Princess Heshuo and Princess Hewan. Although Princess Hewan is not a princess from the emperor, but that She is also the daughter of Prince Hong Zhou; she was brought up in the palace by the emperor and treated as her own daughter, and was even called the fourth princess."

"Ordinarily, anyone who is honored by the princess is a concubine, and they are likely to inherit the title of vassal king. For example, the third son-in-law, isn't it because of the concubine's concubine that a son of a concubine has inherited Prince Darhan? How come Princess Hewan's forehead is the eldest son, why didn't the emperor choose him, instead chose Batu, the second son?"

Because of the hanging case of Ningyun, an official woman, Wanxi had an old relationship with Ningshou Palace, so when talking about Princess Hewan's forehead, she couldn't help but quietly change her mind.

Concubine Wan has nothing to do with her, but smiled lightly, "Perhaps this Delek, as the emperor said in the decree, is 'commonly talented' and 'not familiar with Mongolian affairs', so he is not called the inheritor of the county king."

"Besides, Delek, the son-in-law, is the son-in-law of Heshuo, so he has the title of duke. The emperor has actually conferred the title of duke this time."

Concubine Ying still frowned, "Duke, after all, he is not as high as the county king. Besides, the Barin county king is a vassal king, and the power in his own territory is much greater than that of a duke in the court!"

Wanxi smiled, and patted Concubine Ying's hand, "Okay, in the future, when sister Gaowa gives birth to a princess, the emperor must marry you to the prince of the foreign vassal. We don't care about the duke in the court~"

Only then did Concubine Ying's cheeks turn red, "...Sister laughed at me again! The emperor has forgotten me for hundreds of years."

Yuqin is already 33, and even when she was young, she and Wanxi cared about the emperor's negligence, but at this age, she has already taken it lightly and understood it.Then he smiled faintly, "Gao Wa, you are talking stupid again. Where did the emperor forget about you? Enfeoffment, reward, and being the lord of the first palace, these things don't even have concubine Xin, how can you be left behind?"

Concubine Wan held Yuqin's hand with a smile, blinked, "Concubine Qing looks more and more like me in stature over the past two years."

Yuqin sighed, "Now that I'm at this age, if I can't understand it, I'm just stupid~"

While talking, Yuqin narrowed her eyes towards Wanxi.

Wanxi laughed, got up with her big belly, and sat down next to Yuqin with her shoulders, "...It's all my narrow-mindedness, but I thought that Sister Lu would blame me for hiding Yuxi's matter." Woolen cloth."

Yuqin pinched Wanxi's cheek in a serious manner.Looking at the expression, it looks like a fierce god, but it falls on the hand like a breeze.

"I'm really angry with you. How can you hide such a big happy event from me? Why don't you understand, I know my fate in this palace, and it is impossible for me to win the emperor again." Well, if there is another child of the emperor... I will naturally count on you. If you are happy, I will be as happy as I am having a child myself!"

Concubine Wan looked at Wanxi with a smile, and Wanxi hurriedly grabbed Yuqin's hand, "... I know I was wrong. I just know that after the sisters know Xin'er, they will be as happy as if they had a child. This I'm worried that the sisters' faces will not be able to hold back their joy, and this is the danger of outsiders seeing through."

"After all, it's the first time my little sister has a child in these years, and I don't know how to protect it, so I came up with such an idea out of desperation, which made all the sisters sad... When the child goes to the ground, the little sister will definitely Tell the boy to make amends to the sisters for the younger sister!"

Yuqin laughed too, stepped forward to support Wanxi and sat down firmly, "At this moment, for me, the biggest person in the world is not the emperor, but you. If you are fussing about something, playing with your petty temper, etc., then you have to build a board like worshiping Guanshiyin Bodhisattva and make an offering first."

"It's what it is, it's all been dissolved by your stomach at this moment!"

Only then did Wanxi laugh, holding Wanbi and Yuqin with her left and right hands respectively, and staring at Yingbi with a smile in her eyes, "...just like what I said to Sister Chen, I will say this again to my sisters : Our sisters have been in the palace for many years and have nothing to do. Since I have this child today, then this child is not mine alone. When the child is born, I will definitely make the child respect the sisters together, and must all Just be like me!"

Several people laughed, "...We naturally treat it as our own."
.
The three of them talked with Wanxi for a long time, fearing that Wanxi would be tired, so they were led by Wanxi, saying they were going to leave.Seeing that Yuqin seemed to have something else to say to Wanxi, she was not in a hurry to go back first, so Wanbi and Yingfei took a step ahead.

The bamboo building fell silent, Yuqin held Wanxi's hand and looked up at her.

In the natural picture, there are several pavilions.Among them, the Zhuji Tower and the Langyin Pavilion in the south are both built near the back lake, and you can see the scenery of the West Mountain when you climb the tower. It will be hot, and Wanxi likes to stay in these two places.It's just because the Langyin Pavilion was originally the study room given to Yongzheng Lord by Emperor Kangxi, and Wanxi is a show of respect for the late emperor. Usually, Yanju is more in Zhujilou.

Zhuzi Tower, also known as "Peach Blossom Spring River", is more light red and full of soft fragrance, so it is more comfortable to call Wanxi.

In the north of the natural picture, there are lotus ponds "bamboo deep and lotus quiet", and bamboo groves "quietness knows that spring is good"; there are also two pavilions facing each other in the east: Wufutang and Zhanjingzhai.

The whole courtyard is quiet and elegant, and it is the place with the best view in Yuanmingyuan at this time.Such a place was given to Wanxi by the emperor to live in. Now that Wanxi is pregnant with a child, it is naturally the best place to raise a baby.

Looking around here, Yuqin is full of thoughts.The other accompanying concubines, including the empress and pure imperial concubine, are all crowded together and live in "Tiandi Family Spring". Where can there be such a special favor as Wanxi who has the best view and lives alone on the island?

Looking at the small island and the courtyard, her heart became clearer.

"...You don't know, you have a child, I really want to cry just thinking about it. I know how you have walked through the palace step by step in the past 15 years. To be honest, if you Without the emperor's protection and belief that you will have a child sooner or later, then you are probably the same as us."

Wanxi nodded, "Little sister understands, and little sister cherishes blessings even more."

Yuqin sighed softly, "I used to be young, so maybe I didn't have the heart to compete with you. Back then, I asked Empress Xiaoxian to take advantage of me... After all, it was because I was favored. In those years when I was surrounded by Mulan , Playing the qin and performing arts, but also took the reputation of "favorite concubine" for several years. At that time, I still couldn't let it go, but after these years, looking back, I only feel that I am ridiculous."

Yuqin grasped Wanxi's hand, "It was only after Empress Xiaoxian delivered the funeral ceremony that I realized that there are also rules for burial in the concubine's bedroom—if you have never been favored, you may not even have the qualifications to be buried in the concubine's bedroom." No; let alone being able to enter the rank of concubine or higher."

"I couldn't figure it out before. I always felt that since the emperor favored me, he should like me to some extent, right? How could he leave me in the cold for so many years? It's only now that I suddenly understand... The emperor was born for me The qualifications to enter the imperial concubine, and the qualifications to be buried in the concubine's garden after death."

Yuqin couldn't help but hang her head and choke with sobs as she spoke.

"After all, you and I relied on each other like this before we were alive, so the emperor also hopes that I can always be with you, doesn't he?"

Wanxi's heart was full of sadness again, and she could only try her best to comfort her, "Sister thinks too much, the emperor must be kind to her because she likes her..."

Yuqin nodded with a smile, "Silly Wanxi, you still feel relieved for me now. How can I not understand how the emperor has treated me all these years?"
.
Yuqin also went, and Wanxi sat alone under the window, thinking for a long time.

Yurui quietly brought a bowl of lotus leaf soup to serve Wanxi.

Wanxi smelled the fragrance of the lotus, but she was also careful, and asked in a low voice, "Where did it come from?"

Although lotus, lotus seeds and lotus leaves are good products for relieving summer heat, it is better for women who are about to give birth to be more careful.

Yu Rui laughed, and said softly, "It is the master who has taken out the lotus pond. Every year, those lotus households ask themselves to show filial piety to the master~~ Now that they know that the master is sinking, they dare not come to disturb them, so they quietly I sent it here, and didn't meet the master directly."

Wanxi nodded, "...their hearts are good, but I should not eat these cold foods at this moment."

Yu Rui laughed, "The master was fooled! In fact, the slave was also fooled just now, and didn't want to pick it up. I found out later that these lotus leaf soups only looked like lotus leaves and lotus seeds. It's all made from noodles!"

"It's just that when kneading the noodles, I added a little lotus leaf juice to borrow a little bit of sweetness."

Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows.It is actually common to make these pictographic flowers, leaves and fruits in the palace.But the ones that are good-looking are good-looking, and they are realistic and realistic, but most of them are uniformly molded, and they look exactly the same.

But in the bowl of soup in front of me, the lotus leaves and curtains inside are of different sizes, and there is absolutely no craftsmanship.

Yurui understood the surprise of the master, so she said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't finish my sentence just now. The lotus leaves and lotus seeds used to pound the juice are naturally filial to the lotus households, but with this skillful hand, they turned them into clear water. Sweet and not cold gnocchi, but another person..."

Wanxi sighed softly, "It must be a famous chef in the imperial dining room to have such a skill."

Yu Rui lowered her head and chuckled, "He's not a famous chef."

Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, she raised her eyes to focus on Yurui, "Is it Liu Zhuer?"

Yu Rui nodded with a smile, "Your servant is right, right? He is a cooking eunuch, but not a famous chef. His idea and ability can be regarded as being learned by himself in the imperial dining room all these years."

"Besides, it's the East family and the West family, who have learned the skills of miscellaneous things. All the veterans outside the customs, or the famous chefs of Jiangnan Suzhou and Hangzhou dishes, and even the cooking skills of the chefs in the restaurant in the capital, he has learned indiscriminately. All at once."

Wanxi lowered her eyes and smiled, "...he has a heart. In fact, since April, I can see that he has taken a lot of care. No matter who the eunuch who served the meal that day was, the food that was presented must be They all suit my taste and meet the needs of my current body.”

"The eunuchs in the imperial dining room are good at observing words and expressions, but I am not usually a picky person, so it is difficult for them to figure out my taste. Unless they have known me for many years, it is possible to figure out my taste Get out of your temper... Thinking about it this way, Liu Zhu'er is the only one."

Yu Rui raised her eyes quietly, and then lowered her head and chuckled, "...As for the eunuchs in this palace, the one who is closest to the master is Mao Tuan'er, and Liu Zhu'er is probably the second."

"Actually, Sun Yuqing might have been the second one. After all, Liu Zhu'er is from the imperial dining room, and has never been on business in front of the masters of the palaces, but Sun Yuqing was in front of the imperial court from the beginning... It's a pity that he has no eyes, and the servants are watching. Sooner or later, he will ruin all his blessings."

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled, but said nothing.

After a while, he said, "In the next two or three months, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Liu Zhu'er. If he brings something, you can watch and taste it carefully for me."

Yu Rui hurriedly bowed her knees, "Master, don't worry."
.
After the master and servant finished talking about Liu Zhu'er, Yu Rui suddenly lowered her head for a long while without speaking.

Wanxi's eyes drooped, "...you want to talk about He Shuo's son-in-law Delek, right? Tell me."

Yu Rui bit her lip, "But at this moment, the master's pregnancy is the most important thing. The slave didn't want to disturb the master."

Wanxi shook her head lightly, "Even if you don't tell me, I'm thinking about it myself. Why don't I tell you, so that my heart can be released."

Yu Rui bit her lip lightly, "Heshuo's son-in-law Delek is the eldest son, but the emperor did not ask Delek to inherit the prince of Bahrain County... If it is as the emperor's decree said, 'he is ordinary' and 'not familiar with Mongolian affairs' Because of the reason...then why did the emperor choose him to be He Shuo's son-in-law?"

"The emperor originally loved Princess Hewan very much. Before our fourth princess was born, Princess Hewan was still the fourth princess. The emperor chose the forehead for Princess Hewan. How could he not choose the best one with all his heart? If he is really what the decree said From what he said, it was impossible for him to be selected as the forehead back then."

Wanxi nodded, "That makes sense."

Yurui sighed softly, "... I have a feeling that the emperor is punishing Princess Hewan. It's just that the emperor can't directly punish the princess, so the punishment is on Heshuo's son-in-law."

Wanxi quietly raised her eyes, staring at Yurui.

Yu Rui looked a little far away, "Back then Concubine Shu's ten elder brothers died for no apparent reason in Ningshou Palace. That wasn't our business at all, and we didn't bother to care about Concubine Shu's business, but that was also the emperor's death after all. His child... so the emperor still suspects Princess Hewan, right?"

Wanxi sighed softly in her heart, and then nodded, "I think so too. If there were really outsiders who tampered with the death of Elder Brother Shi back then, then only Princess Hewan could... It's the woman who serves her."

Yurui's cheeks turned slightly red.

"... Your majesty is really a good Ama. Although the emperor tormented Concubine Shu so much, he did not ignore the death of Elder Brother Ten. I think, even if Elder Brother Ten came to this world once, it would be so short Time. But Elder Brother Shi was born the emperor's child, so he will definitely not regret it."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, and said nothing.

But there is still a little bit of recognition in my heart: the emperor just didn't ask Heshuo's son-in-law Delek to inherit the Barin County prince, but he didn't punish him too much, that is to say, even if Princess Hewan took the suspicion, it wasn't the main reason. .

Wanxi quietly looked at the silk streamer on her sleeve, silently lost in thought.
.
"What are you talking about?"

The master and servant were talking to themselves when the emperor lifted the curtain and walked in.

Yu Rui was flustered for a while, and hurriedly got up and squatted down to greet the emperor, her face seemed to get up a little anxiously, flushing.

The emperor only glanced at Yurui, then raised his eyes to focus on Wanxi, and never looked at Yurui again.

Yu Rui quit in a panic.

Wanxi lowered her head lightly, avoiding the emperor's gaze, and ordered softly, "It's June, the emperor is hot when he comes in. Yuxi, don't step back in a hurry, and go and see what I just drank. Is there any leftover of this lotus leaf soup, send a bowl to the emperor as well."

Yu Rui blushed and hurriedly withdrew.

The emperor's gaze was still fixed on Wanxi's face.

Wanxi waited until the sound of Yurui's footsteps was far away, and then slowly finished the lotus leaf soup in her hand, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and then raised her eyes to meet the emperor.

"...Why do you stare at the slave? Are you waiting for the slave to pay his respects? Why did you forget? It was the decree of the master. From April onwards, the slave's greeting has been exempted. Did the emperor forget it? "

Only then did the emperor snort on purpose in a strange voice, stepped forward and grabbed Wanxi's hand, sat down next to Wanxi's shoulder, deliberately took the soup bowl that Wanxi had just put down, and picked up what was left of Wanxi. Half a mouthful of lotus leaf soup was swallowed.

Wanxi wanted to stop her, but it was too late, so she blushed a little, and gently pushed the emperor.

"What is the emperor doing~~ The slave has already ordered Yu Rui to fetch a new one, so the emperor can't wait any longer?"

The emperor shrugged his shoulders, "It's new, where is the delicious one you've had? The rim of the bowl and the soup are all stained with the fragrance of your lips and mouth."

Wanxi smiled helplessly, "Ye Jing said..."

But the emperor turned his head and waited outside the window, "Come here, go and inform Yurui, and tell her not to bring in lotus leaf soup. I have already eaten it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he kissed Wanxi's mouth, bit it again, and finally stuck the tip of his tongue in and wrung it.

Wanxi is out of breath.

It's already this month, how dare you make a mistake?She no longer dared to ask the emperor to be so close, but every time the emperor came, she still couldn't help it.

Wanxi could hear it, and the emperor was panting heavily.Wanxi hurriedly pushed the emperor lightly, "Master..."

The emperor snorted, but he didn't dare to do it again, he just hugged Wanxi back into his arms, and talked affectionately with his face close to his face, but his hand clenched his fist behind Wanxi's back, and he didn't feel any pain at all. Did not dare to move.

Wanxi grabbed his lapel and murmured softly, "My lord is really used to walking on flat roads, so I will come here as soon as I say it, and I don't ask anyone to inform my slaves in advance. At this moment, my grandma and mother are still there Well, there is also the servant's mother. How about asking them to collide with you when you come here so suddenly?"

Even though she was Wanxi's mother-in-law, she was also a Fujin from the inner management, the emperor had never seen her before.But after all, public occasions are different from such private meetings, and Yu Li always has some disagreements.

The emperor laughed at ease, "You think they don't understand? Where are you going? Didn't the eunuchs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation remind you with applause from far and near? That's why you, a concubine, are used to it." If you don’t pay attention in the palace, they already know about it.”

"Why didn't Grandpa hit him?"

Only then did Wanxi laugh, "Is it a pity for Dare to Love? Why don't you call me here and run into each other once?"

The emperor rolled his eyes helplessly, "...let's call Yurui."

As expected, Wanxi turned around and went away.

The emperor laughed, and gently grabbed Wanxi's hand, "She is a little girl who grew up beside you. I come to you most frequently, and I have more chances to meet her, so she has such a cute look. , in Grandpa's eyes, it is basically transparent, and Grandpa can see through it at a glance."
