Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 1995 Six Volumes 50 (3 More)
Both Yuqin and Concubine Ying understood the irony in Wanxi's words, and they couldn't help but sneer at Concubine Xin as they supported Wanxi from left to right.

Concubine Xin was really clever, her eyes caught the coldness of Concubine Yuqin and Concubine Ying, but she smiled brightly, turned around and turned towards the emperor.

"Since entering the palace, my concubine has always used my sister as a confidant. When my sister is happy at this time, I also invite my concubine to protect this child... Since my sister has such trust, I have something to say, and I have to say it boldly." .”

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You said."

Concubine Xin lowered her head and said, "It's already November 25th, and it's only a month away from the southern tour in the first month of next year. Originally, the emperor wanted to bring his sister with him—but now that his sister is happy , the concubine is still begging for a favor from the emperor for sister Ling and the emperor's heir."

"I beg your majesty to be merciful and take back your order. Don't make my sister exhausted all the way, but ask the emperor for permission to let my sister stay in the palace to recuperate."

The emperor couldn't help raising his eyes suddenly.

Wanxi's heart twitched as she stared at Concubine Xin's back.

——The worst thing is, objectively speaking, what Concubine Xin said is correct.

Your Majesty is going to the south of the Yangtze River. Not to mention the mountains and rivers, the water and soil have to change frequently.And the boats and cars are exhausted, and there is no leisure for a day.Even ministers and bodyguards who were in good health, fell ill due to acclimatization during the last southern tour; even during the last southern tour, some were temporarily sent ashore by the emperor to recuperate in the middle of the harem.

This is not going to Chengde to escape the summer heat, nor is it going to Mulan paddock to watch the deer. Such a journey all the way to the south of the Yangtze River is indeed not something a person who is pregnant with a child can afford.

Concubine Xin raised her head, with a worried look on her face, "If you count the months, the most embarrassing thing for my sister at this moment should be about a month. If you start driving in the first month, it's only less than three months. When a woman is pregnant, the first three months are the most insecure period, and the slightest disturbance may hurt the flag.”

"Don't say that you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River like this, even if you are in the palace on weekdays, if a sister meets a happy event, she will not even dare to leave the palace gate in the first three months, and the most important thing is to be safe——If my sister is like this How can you afford to go on a southern tour with us?"

Even the empress dowager couldn't help nodding, "Concubine Xin is right. There's no reason why the inner court dignitary is going to be tossing around like this for thousands of miles! Don't say that the dignitaries can't bear it themselves, the ancestors are watching in the sky. Then, I have to blame."

Concubine Xin became more determined after hearing what the Empress Dowager said.

"The concubine's body is naturally for the sake of my sister and the emperor's heir first, but secondly, it is also for the safety of the emperor's southern tour."

"According to the rules of Manchuria, after five months of pregnancy, a woman is not allowed to enter the stable or get close to the horses... But if you count the months, when my sister is five months old, she must still be on the way, no matter what. You can't go back to the capital, can you?"

"Although the route of the southern tour is mainly by boat, it does not have waterways for the whole journey. Before boarding and after disembarkation, you always have to take a carriage; there are always guards on horseback guarding the carriage, right?"

"But if there is sister Ling who is pregnant for five months--wouldn't it be unlucky for these horses?"

"It's all right for others, the emperor must ride the horse himself. The safety of the emperor is always more than that of letting the sister and the emperor's heir go, isn't it?"

When Concubine Xin's words linked whether Wanxi accompanied her with the safety of the emperor and his party, even the empress dowager couldn't sit still.
