Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 487 Volume 1 - 6 The only favorite ([-] more)
The eighth year of Qianlong was the New Year, and it was supposed to be celebrated by the whole country.But at this time, both the front court and the harem were a little restless.

In the previous dynasty, Zhong Yongtan, who was the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, and E Rong'an, the son of Ertai, were convicted of leaking the secret performance.Because Ertai was ordered by the late Emperor Yongzheng to assist the government together with Zhang Tingyu, as the chief minister of the military aircraft department, he had a very high status in the court.The fact that his son was involved in this matter inevitably reminds people of the clique stories of Ertai and Zhang Tingyu.

Coincidentally, in December of the sixth year of Qianlong, it was Liu Tongxun who impeached Zhang Tingyu; in December for two consecutive years, Ertai and Zhang Tingyu, two auxiliary ministers, were exposed to such incidents.

This is a bit of a coincidence.

It is even more difficult not to think back to the Kangxi Dynasty, the crony dispute between Suo'etu and Mingzhu.The people in the court couldn't help discussing in private, saying that the Manchu officials headed by Ertai and the Han officials headed by Zhang Tingyu in this dynasty are also full-fledged, and they are bound to repeat the old cronies.

The emperor is young, and the powerful ministers are old-fashioned. It is not easy to sit in the emperor's court.
.
In the harem, there is another gossip: It has been two full years since elder brother Yongqi was born on February [-]th of the fifth year of Qianlong.But there was no emperor's heir born in the palace, not even a concubine who was happy.

At this time, the emperor had just passed his golden age, when he should be in the prime of life, but there was no movement in the harem for two whole years... This is a bit strange.

The emperor was young and skilled in bow and horse, so it was by no means a problem of poor health.

Could it be that... because of the turmoil in the past, the heavens have doubts about the emperor, so they use the matter of heirs to test and warn?
When the rumor became more and more popular, Wanxi's heart became heavier day by day.

No one in the harem understood the reason better than her because there had been no happy marriages in the harem for two years.

It's just because at least from the autumn of the sixth year of Qianlong to this year and a half, the emperor has only exerted his strength on her alone.

She didn't know how long the exclusive harem room in this world had been the only favorite.It's been more than a year and a half for her...

There was no child in the harem, and the emperor was suspicious, so she couldn't help but quietly went to see her belly several times.

If she could make some movement, it would be able to help the emperor dispel those rumors... But, why didn't she make any movement at all?
.
As if in response to these doubts and rumors, the capital has no rain or snow from the beginning of the year.Farmers are worried, saying that this year there will be a severe drought.

This is really a warning from heaven.

The emperor fasted and prayed for rain for several days in a row, but nothing happened in the sky.

With such a mood, the palace is going through this year with a forced smile.

Wanxi knew that the emperor was suffering at this time, so Wanxi went to serve the emperor's meal at noon every day, so she became more careful and taciturn.

The two of them didn't want to talk that day, and the emperor was even a little cruel to her, tossing her almost to the point of losing her skeleton, and her body was aching with burning pain.

Wanxi didn't say anything, she just hugged him firmly and let him do what he did.

Finally tired, he held her tightly in his arms, but refused to speak.

Wanxi took a deep breath, and said softly: "Master... the servant calls for hot water, can you help me scrub?"

He said hoarsely: "No need. Jiu'er, don't move, ask the master to hug you for a while."

Wanxi put herself close to the emperor's heart, listening to his heartbeat.

His heartbeat was still steady and clear, but it was a little fast.

Wanxi laughed softly: "Master... If there is anything, why not talk to the slave. The slave is not a concubine, and the slave is not considered to be in the harem."
